This seems far from the truth. Young people today as a whole are better, more informed, more ambitious, healthier, and more alert than ever before. Why then, it may be asked, do we witness such restlessness and such anti-social behavior among our young people?For the answer the citizens of this community must look at themselves. What have they done to improve the life of our youth? How many playgrounds have been built in the last fifteen year? How many swimming pools? How many vocational training projects have been started? How many community-organized youth parties and picnics have been held?The average citizen will answer that the responsibility for these activities belongs to the schools. But the schools cannot be held responsible for all the free-time activities of all the young people of this community. The job of the schools is formal education, not freetime entertainment.This community needs a youth center suitable for such activities as picnics, camping, sports, music, art, and theatricals. There could be social and entertaining activities to meet the needs and interests of every member of out school age youth.Mayor Elmo D. Greely has proposed the formation of a Youth Club as the first step in the direction of a Youth Center. Mayor Greely has called a meeting at the City Hall on Friday, August 15.56. What does the writer think of the underlined sentence? A. He thinks it is true. B. He thinks it is not true. C. He thinks it is partly true. D. He thinks it is nonsense.57. The main idea of paragraph 2 and 3 is _. A. to give us lots of questions to show that the problem is serious B. that schools should hold the responsibility for education rather than entertainment C. to analyze the reasons why the youth are anti-social D. that schools should take more activities or star many vocational training projects58. The solution to the problem of the youths anti-social behavior is _. A. enriching the life of the youth B. taking part in picnics, camping C. attending a meeting held by Mayor D. needing support from youth59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The anti-social problem, B. The duty of formal education. C. A Youth Club is Needed. D. A Youth Center is Needed.BAustralia has very strict laws relating to the importation and possession of certain goods. Food, plant material and animal products from overseas-including many common souvenirs -could introduce some of the worlds most serious pests and diseases into Australia. Failing to declare quarantine items (需要检疫的物品) on arrival could destroy our agriculture, tourism industries and special environment. Every piece of luggage will be screened or x-rayed on arrival in Australia. So you must declare for inspection of all food, plant material and animal products to check that they are free of pests and diseases.You must tick YES on the Inoming Passenger Card(IPC) to declare if you are carrying any food, plant material or animal products. In signing the IPC, passengers are making a legal declaration and failure to answer all questions truthfully can have serious consequences. If you fail to declare or dispose of any quarantine items, or make a false declaration:* you will get caught;* you could be fined over A $ 200 on-the-spot; or* you could be prosecuted and fined more than A $ 60,000 and risk up to 10 years imprisonment;If you are not sure about the items you are carrying, ask a quarantine officer who will determine whether they are allowed into Australia.60. The reason why you are asked to declare quarantine items on arrival is that _. A. too many overseas products could destroy Australias tourism industry. B. animal products are often the cause of various diseases. C. as is known to us all, bad food can spread diseases easily. D. these items may carry dangerous pests or diseases into Australia.61.

Usually there is a story and meaning behind each flag. The colours used on a national flag are not used simply because they look good-they usually symbolize something about the growth, values and culture of that country. Sometimes colours mean the same thing in different cultures, but they can often mean different things to people in different cultures.The French flag, sometimes called the Tricolore, was first used in 1789, after the French Revolution The conclusion of the French Revolution led up to big changes throughout the country. Before the Revolution, there was great unrest because people did not have freedom and had often been treated unfairly. Many people died of starvation. After the Revolution, people had far more freedom, and people were considered equal, and large numbers of people were no longer starving.The colours red, white and blue used on the flag represent the principles of the Revolution-liberty, equality and friendship. Red represents bravery, revolution strength and blood. All these things were needed to change the country. Blue stands for liberty and justice while white represents peace.Strengthened by the Revolution, France became a different country soon after, and today, it is still guided by those beliefs. That Frances revolution which was successful in ridding society of inequality had a big effect on many other countries, especially in Europe. Some countries elected to substitute their flags with tricolor flags, after the French. In this way, the French Tricolor has become one of the most influential national flags in history.The USA was also born from revolution, and its flag, the Stars and Stripes, represents this. The USA was originally an area owned and occupied by Britain. At that time, there were thirteen states, which is far fewer than the fifty that make up todays USA. Some people are very unhappy with the bureaucratic way Britain ruled the country, and were quite outspoken about this. American taxpayers could no longer tolerate that they had no say in the government. They desired independence, but the British opposed this. The Americans saw that their freedom was no longer optional and that their independence would not be won by being passive. On 4 July 1776, the American Declaration of Independence was signed. With this, the USA split from Britain and became an autonomous nation with a federal government.The colours red, white and blue and the stars and stripes on the American flag are all very symbolic. Red represents strength and bravery; white represents purity and innocence; blue stands for hard work and justice. There are fifty stars on the American flag, one for each state. The thirteen stripes represent the original thirteen states that joined together to fight for independence.Each year, on 4 July, the USA celebrates Independence Day when the Stars and Stripes can be seen all over the country, lit by fireworks in the night sky.64. The passage is mainly about A. national flags, colours and cultures B. different colours and cultures C. colours and national flags D. revolution, cultures and colours65. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Red represents bravery and strength both in France and the USA B. Blue stands for liberty and justice in the USA but hard work and justice in France. C. Colours Clours on national flags usually stand for special things of the countries. D. Generally every national flag has its own story.66. If a country is newly born in Europe from revolution, how would it be likely to design its national flag? A. In three colours, after the USA B. With stars and stripes. C. In three colours with stars and stripes. D. In three colours, following France.DThere are so many different plastic cards that adults have to carry aroundlibrary cards, savings cards for different banks, credit cards, just to name a few. So why not have one to replace them all?Scott Barnhill, an 1l-year-old fifth-grade student in the US, has come up with an idea for a Security One Card.Sound smart? The US Patent(专利) Office thought so, and it approved a patent for his idea in April.Heres an example of how Barnhills idea would work.Lets say you have the three cards mentioned above. Instead of carrying them all, you could have just one by having additional magnetic strips(磁条) added to it.The magnetic strips can be added to any plastic card, even a blank one.Companies could add their information to one of the strips. For example, you could ask a library to add a strip to your bankcard.Barnhill has a lot of hobbies, including designing websites. He got the idea at the age of 9 when he saw his father using a keycard to enter their hotel room. He thought, The hotels are wasting money with the key cards. So, instead of using a hotel-issued key card, guests could use their credit cards-if the hotel added a special magnetic strip. At check-out, the strip would simply be removed.Now that he has his patent, his next step is a letter-writing campaign to get support from major credit card companies.Im going to be writing letters to credit card companies to ask if they can co-operate. I hope theyll give me money every time someone puts a strip on the back of another card, or every time the idea is used, Barnhill said. Ill write the letters and see what they say. If they say no, Ill ask someone else, another credit card company.He is hoping to make money from his patent and has decided it would be better to collect royalties(专利使用费)if the idea takes off rather than sell his patent.The ATM person who invented that sold it totally, and if hed chosen royalties hed get like 2 cents for every transaction (交易) and hed be a billionaire now, Scott said.67. the advantage of “Security One Card” is that it _.A. could remove the burden of taking all kinds of plastics cardsB. would be very safeC. could save your money D. could have a lot of magnetic strips on it68. The immediate cause of Scotts invention was that _.A. he found that adults have to carry around so many plastic cards B. he realized its big waste to make so many plastic cards instead of only one C. he found even a hotel issued its own cards-keycards D. he realized it would be a good chance to make big money69. To use a Security One Card, _. A. one has to add additional magnetic strips to it oneself B. one has to pay Scott Barnhill each time a magnetic strip is added C. all the companies need to add their information to a magnetic strip by themselves D. one has to get the permission of the credit card company first70. The underlined phrase takes off in the last but one paragraph probably means _. A. makes money B. wins a lot of support C. is worth a lot D. is practical71. From the story, we can see Scott is _. A. more magic than smart B. clever but lazy C. creative, determined and wise D. far-sightedEUnited States President George W. Bush is expected to issue a directive in the next few weeks. It will give the US Air force a green light for the development of space weapons, US media reported last week.This would potentially trigger a new global arms race, some experts have warned.To keep that from happening, last Wednesday the White House explained that it was not considering putting weapons in space. It said it was making a shift in US space policy to allow for protection of satellites.But some defense analysts and arms control advocates argue that the policy will pave the way for the US to put both defensive and offensive weapons in space.No one should be fooled, said Theresa Hitches, an American weapons expert.The US is now restricted by a 1996 directive signed by President Bill Clinton. Plans for space weapons were vetoed by the Clinton cabinet. The directive emphasized the peaceful use of space, in agreement with almost unanimous(一致的) global opinion.The US military has placed importance on space and has sent up numerous satellites for troop communications and to provide intelligence and data to guide bombs to their targets.The US Air force wants to develop space-based weapons that could strike targets any where in the world within 90 minutes of receiving the order to open fire.These new weapons under development cover a wide range. They include hunter-killer satellites(杀手卫星) and orbiting weapons(沿轨道运行的武器系统). And they use lasers, radio waves, or even dense metal tubes, known as Rods from God, dropped from space to do the damage.There are many barriers to the setting up of this kind of program, experts say.First is the cost. It is estimated that the budget may be US $ 220 billion to US $1 trillion. The technical difficulties of developing reliable space weapons are also a problem. And, the move will draw strong
