My main job is 31 a series of course materials for the mainland Chinese university market. These are in the 32 of text books and online web classes. My university paid for me to learn standard Chinese. I learned the 33 first and found that hearing the 34 between the four tones was not quite as difficult as I had imagined. 35 , I have huge problems with some of the individual sounds especially as it is included in the Chinese phonetic alphabet. It is 36 a bit like in English. I know 37 I am supposed to put my tongue to make the sound but it just does not sound right. Moreover, learning Chinese characters is by no means a(n) 38 task for me. Now, I can read those characters with the Chinese phonetic alphabet quite well in text books but 39 else that is not written in this way. I* m sparing no 40 to work on it and I have learnt about 150 so far. Obviously, there is still a long way to go. One thing I have to 41 is that people in Hong kong speak Cantonese(广东话) which is 42 different from standard Chinese. Luckily, I 43 and am helped by a kind colleague who is 44 in Guangzhou. Her name is Snow and she speaks good standard Chinese ( unlike the 45 of people in Guangzhou) and is willing to help me with my 46 at the language. Working in a Chinese organization is very 47 . The people are very friendly and polite 48 I never really know what they are thinking of me. I am the only Western person in the 49 and still feel like a gweilo ( 外国佬 ) , a foreigner most of the time. Despite this, it is just an amazing experience. I 50 working in Hong Kong!31.

They arent thinking about the traffic when they step off the pavement. An 18-year-olq driver is far more likely to be involved in a crash than a 48-year-old one. One in five drivers crash within their first year of driving and, as such (照此), new drivers add to accident and casualty rates on our roads. Most road traffic injuries can be prevented or reduced. Children and young people themselves can help reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads. The possibility of being involved in an accident immediately reduces when children learn about the risks and possible dangers on the road. They should know the Green Cross Code-Stop, Look and Listen! from school. Children should always use selected crossing where they can consider possible dangers of the road before stepping out. Wearing a crash helmet when cycling or riding a scooter and wearing seat belts in the car are simple ways of reducing the chances of being killed or seriously injured in an accident. Up to 85 % of preventable pre-hospital deaths from road crashes could be avoided if first aid was carried out before the emergency services arrive. It is possible that children walking to school might be the first to arrive at the scene of a crash and their first aid knowledge could save lives. Basic first aid can be learned by almost anyone. Children over the age of nine can understand and learn many first aid rules which could be helpful at an accident scene. They can learn to keep calm and help others remain calm. They can call for help, keep the injured warm, keep others out of danger by making the area safe and perform any first aid techniques that they have learnt until the emergency services arrive.51. Why are teenagers more likely to get involved in road accidents? A. They dont like stepping off the pavement. B. They use mobiles or talk with friends on the road. C. They fail to fix their attention on the surroundings on the road. D. They are allowed to use cell phones in different places.52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Teach children the proper way of crossing the road. B. Warn children of possible dangers of the road. C. How to help the children seriously injured on the roads. D. How to help the young to reduce or prevent road accidents.53. The underlined words Green Cross Code in Paragraph 2 may refer to _. A. traffic safety rules B. possible danger signs C. emergency services D. first aid knowledge54. A ten-year-old child can do all of the following at an accident scene except _. A. carrying out first aid techniques properly B. keeping calm and helping others remain calm C. calling for help and keeping talking to the injured D. keeping the injured warm and warning others of the danger BThere s a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedythe former scares you half to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter. But try watching them without the background music. You just decide theyre not so different after all. Music and movies have been intertwined since the beginning of motion pictures, even before the voices of actors were recorded. In movies, music helps to provide a sense of time and place, convey ideas about the characters and, most importantly, draw emotions out of the audience. Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speeds of the music we hear. Film composers armed with this knowledge will use sudden changes in music speed to arouse fear among audiences. Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect, bringing about a sense of peace. The use of dissonant (不协调的) tones and noises is another technique that heightens tension. Humans naturally become unnerved (不安的) when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are usually associated with danger, like those that animals make to warn against predators（捕食者）. As a result, countless horror movie soundtracks use instrument combinations like double basses (重低音) and high, screeching (尖利的) violins. As crucial as it is, the best film music is subtle. All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotionthey shouldnt realize what caused it. Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects. In keeping with this-principle, some filmmakers are even using whats called infrasound (次声波) to arouse fear. While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below the range of the human ear, infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety, shivering (颤抖) and even sorrow. For example, infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movie Paranormal Activity, and audiences reported extremely high fear levels despite the lack of action throughout the movie. It doesnt affect everyone equally, said British science writer Philip Ball, but he predicted that we will see more of it used in movies in the future.55. What is the article mainly about? A. The effects of using infrasound in movies. B. The differences between horror movies and comedies. C. Why it is important to use background music in a movie. D. How filmmakers make use of music to affect our emotions.56. The underlined word intertwined in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_. A. well prepared B. closely connected C. meant to attract attention D. changed gradually57. To arouse fear among audiences, film soundtracks _. A. have no music B. slow down the speed of the music C. use dissonant tones and noises D. use instrument combinations like pianos and guitars58. According to the article, infrasound _.A. is not easy for the audience to notice B. makes the audience feel at peaceC. has the same effects on all audiences D. is used to make up for the lack of action in moviesC In the past two decades, the Chinese economy has undergone many reforms in an effort to compete more effectively on the international market. These reforms included allowing foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri (MU) have found about 30 % of Chinese urban households now own at least one credit card and the growth rate of credit adoption has been an average of 40 % per year between 2004 and 2009. Rui Yao, an assistant professor of personal financial planning at MU, says that this large growth in such a small amount-of time has positive and negative implications for the Chinese economy. With more and more people taking advantage of credit cards in China, it certainly increases potential consumer buying power, Yao said. However, we found that more than 90% of credit card users were unaware of safety issues existing in credit card use and more than 60% had little knowledge of the consequences of credit card debt. This lack of knowledge could create problems as credit card ownership is expected to grow at a. rate of 11 % a year. Yao found that while 72 % of Chinese credit card holders were never late on their payment, only 55% were able to pay the full balance. She also found that 70% of Chinese credit card holders said that credit cards contributed to overspending. Yao believe that Chinese could benefit from financial education designed to help them plan for their financial future and encouraging the Chinese to take advantage of debt in a responsible fashion is important for the Chinese economy. Appropriate use of debt can help households improve their quality of life as well as spur economic growth through an increase in market purchases, Yao said.59. Why did China allow foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens? A. To respond to the urgent demand for financial reforms. B. To increase Chinese citizens confidence in economy. C. To improve competitiveness in the international market. D. To persuade more Chinese citizens to accept credit cards.60. A lot of figures are used in the text in order to _. A. record the valuable data. B. provide concrete evidence C. introduce a research method D. give a detailed description61. It can be inferred from the text that _. A. education is the only solutions to future financial issues B. overspending is mainly brought about by credit cards C. most Chinese credit card holders cant pay the balance D. some Chinese citizens lack knowledge of credit risks62. The underlined word spur in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to . A. promote B. delay C. control D. discourage . 7 .D Steven Spielberg-directed political biopic Lincoln is leading the Oscar race this year with 12 nominations（提名）, while the Ang Lee-helmed Indian drama Life of Pi bagged 11 nods on Thursday, including the best picture and director categories. The best picture category for the 85th Academy Awards is highly competitive this year, with nine films fighting for the golden statuette. Life of Pi, the survival story of an Indian boy lost in the ocean with a Bengal tiger, will fight closely with political dramas like Spielbergs Lincoln, Ben A f fleck s Argo, and Katheryn Bigelow s Zero Dark Thirty, a film about the manhunt for Osama bin Laden. The other films in the race for best picture are David 0. Russells comedy Silver Linings Playbook, Tom Hoopers musical Les Miserables , Michael Hanekes Amour, Quentin Tarantinos civil-war set Western Django Unchained and Benh Zeitlins Beasts of the Southern Wild. Having directed some famous films, Taiwanese-American film maker Lee, who chose an entirely Indian cast for Pi and shot some scenes in India, is in the race for the best director trophy () with Spielberg, Russell, Haneke and Zeitlin. Pi, which starred Delhi-boy Suraj Sharma in the lead and noted actors such as Irrfan Khan, Tabu and Adil Hussain, also gained nominations in categories like cinematography, film editing, original score, original song, production design, best adapted screenplay, visual effects, sound editing and sound mixing. Daniel Day-Lewis is leading in the best actor category for his widely-praised portrayal of the 16th President Abraham Lincoln in the Reliance - DreamWorks produced Lincoln. The film follows Lincolns struggle to abolish slavery as the country drifts into a civil war. T
