The social connections may help in the future.”The latest report from the US-based institute of International Education said China, for the first time, has bee the top country of origin for international students in the United States.For Yang Fan, a journalism (新闻专业) student, said studying in the United States is a way to escape the petition for places in Chinas top universities.“Due to limited education resources, only about 60 percent of high school graduates in China enter college, and a much lower rate enters the top-level ones. “A foreign degree will definitely help when I seek a job in China,” Yang said.Both Yangs and Luos parents are supportive of them studying abroad. Neither of them is thinking of settling down in the United States after graduation.“It is not realistic to do so. As a journalism student, there would be no advantage for me to work in the United States,” Yang said. “But in China, with a US degree and good English, I may stand out against other students who have only studied in China.”China still needs to improve its environment for scientists and high-level talents, said Xiao Mingzheng, director of the Center for Human Resource Development and Management Research of Peking University, adding that, in particular, the country needs to improve its policies relating to research environments.In June, the Chinese government published a plan concerning talent development for the next 10 years. In it, it has improved policies and increased budgets to attract talented students back home.56. Why does Luo Gaoqi wants to study in a foreign land according to his words? A. Because the people there are more intelligent. B. Because the foreign countries are more developed. C. Because he can make more friends there. D. Because the culture there is different from that in China.57. What do Guo Gaoqi and Yang Fan have in mon? A. Their major is the same, which is journalism. B. Both of them want to go back to China after graduation. C. Their parents are against their decision. D. They are forced to study in a foreign land by their parents.58. From the passage, we can infer that _. A. scientists and high-level talents need a better environment in China B. the students abroad are unwilling to go back to China C. China doesnt need those people to e back to our country at all D. we all need to go abroad to study and then serve our own country B These are instructions for making invisible ink using baking soda.Difficulty: EasyTime required: A few minutes What you need: Baking soda Paper Water Light bulb Paintbrush Measuring cup Purple grape juiceHeres how: There are at least two methods of using baking soda as invisible ink. Mix equal amounts of water and baking soda. Use a paintbrush to write a message onto white paper, using the baking soda solution (溶液) as “ink”. Allow the ink to dry. One way to read the message is to hold the paper up to a heat source, such as a light bulb. The baking soda will cause the writing in the paper to turn brown. The second way to read the message is to paint over the paper with purple grape juice. The message will appear in a different color.Tips: If you are using the heating method, avoid igniting (点燃) the paper. Baking soda and grape juice react with each other in an acid-base (酸碱) reaction, producing a color change in the paper.Grape juice concentrate (浓缩物) results in a more visible color change than regular grape juice.59. _ is not needed for making invisible ink. A. Baking soda B. Paper C. Water D. Ink60. Whats the function of the paintbrush? A. To draw a picture. B. To write a message onto the white paper. C. To allow the “ink” to appear. D. To help the “ink” dry.61. Why will the message appear in a different color in the second way to read the massage? A. Because there is enough grape juice.B. Because baking soda reacts with grape juice. C. Because of the use of water. D. Because of the special paper.62. From the process, we can know that making invisible ink is _. A. very hard B. not difficult C. a little difficult D. not easy C Once in a village, the villagers built a new church building and people came from far and wide to see it. They admired its beauty! They said it was the most beautiful building in the world. Up on the roof, a little nail heard the people praising everything about the lovely structure except the nail! No one even knew he was there, and he became very angry and sad. “If I am not important, nobody will miss me if I quit!” So the nail then released (松开) its hold, got down from the roof, and fell into the mud. That night it rained and rained. Soon, the board that had no nail was blown away, and the roof began to leak (漏水). The water flowed down along the walls and over the beautiful pictures on the walls. The plaster (石膏) began to fall, the floor was ruined, and the Bible was also ruined by water. All this was because a little nail decided to quit! But what of the nail? While holding the board, it was not known by others but it was useful. Buried in the mud now, it was useless and would soon be eaten up by rust! What the story wants to say is that every member is important to a whole group!You may, like the nail, feel not important at times, but just like the nail, your absence is felt. A big building might fall to pieces. You are important to a group even if you are small.63. Why did the nail decide to quit? A. Because he was not able to hold on any longer. B.

The move is aimed at controlling the number of deaths from smoking-related diseases, running at a million a year. But the rules have been criticized, because they do not include punishments for those who choose to ignore them. Many business owners hate rules that force them to ban smoking on their premises (经营场所) because many customers do not like the rules and plain. The rules do not allow smoking in places like restaurants, hotels, railway stations or theatres, but not at the office. Employers have a duty to warn staff off the dangers of smoking but do not have to forbid them from lighting up at their desks. Shanghai introduced similar rules a year ago, but people do not seem to take much notice of them. Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar. The problem is that the rules do not include punishments for businesses or individuals who ignore them. It appears that many Chinese people are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Research suggests that only one in four knows the harm cigarettes of second-hand smoke can cause. Officials say they have to try to persuade people not to smoke to reduce the numbers dying from smoking-related diseases.At the same time the government makes a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state-owned firm that makes and sells all tobacco products throughout the country.67. The number of smokers in China makes up about _ of the worlds smokers. A. 66% B. 44% C. 33% D. 55%68. We can replace the underlined part in the passage with _. A. are concerned about B. are curious about C. dont know D. dont care69. Why have the rules been criticized by some people? A. Because those people dont want to be punished. B. Because they do not include punishments for those who choose to ignore the rules. C. Because the rules are ignored by all the people who smoke. D. Because nobody takes notice of the rules.70. If the government wants to ban smoking in public places, _. A. only rely on educating people B. take more effective measures C. do punish those who ignore the rules D. let people know more about the dangers of smoking第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）71 If not, and if right now youre not focusing on this article, your time might be better spent on a short nap (小睡) to boost (促进) your focus and productivity (效率).Thats what the National Sleep Foundation says, and its a message that health education professionals at the University of California at Davis (a city of California, America) have been spreading to their students.“Were familiar with the benefits of sleep,” said Amelia, a student in sleep and stress at the UC Davis health center. 72 For students, the benefits of increased productivity and focus will help their scores even though there is no data to back that up.However, research has repeatedly shown that when students have 7-9 hours of sleep, 20-30 minute naps do offer these benefits, 73 So Jason B. Spitzer, a health educator, believes encouraging students to take naps to improve their state of mind not to mention stay awake during classes is very important.Health educators discovered that while 33 percent of Davis students didnt nap at all, three-quarters of those who did nap did so for too long more than 30 minutes. That told the educators that a napping campaign would have to focus on two different populations: 74 Health educators hand out “nap tools”; they include earplugs (耳塞), an eye mask and a tip card with directions to more messages online. They advertise in the student newspaper introducing napping tips and benefits, and they team with the student government to spread the word on napping during National Sleep Awareness Week. 75 “We want to improve their napping and their sleep quality.” Spitzer said.A. Did you get a plete and restful nights sleep last night?B. non-nappers and long nappers.C. The Davis campaign is still changing every year.D. “Were not familiar with the positive effects of napping.”E. We should try our best to
