When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.
When India had not  36  its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans.   37  , we can get all these anywhere in India now.
Still, her answer  38  me: “Green tea.” As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink  39   tea. I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and  40  home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both  41  newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder  42 for all illnesses.

But it’s a  49  street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to  50  in software. Meanwhile, all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.   51 that trade , which was only in the millions just ten years ago,   52  hit about US$20 billion for last year and US$25 billion by 2009, a goal   53  by both governments. No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this  54 the Sino-Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.

Sri Lankan police made an appeal for the public to donate their pet dogs to help the fight against terrorism and crime on the war – torn island.
“Make your pet a hero－to detect terrorism and make our motherland Sri Lanka a country with a new facelift,” the police department said in a public notice carried by the state-run Daily News.
It said that donated dogs should be between six months and two years old and must have an impressive pedigree(血统). German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Rottweilers, Dalmatians, Cocker Spaniels and Doberman Pinschers are preferred.
Chief Inspector Lal Senavirathne said 25 people donated their pets, but only 18 dogs could be enlisted as the others did not meet the recruitment. He said the dogs would be trained to identify explosives, search for buried mines, sniff down drugs, deal with criminals and even perform tricks for the public. The dogs will retire after serving a maximum period of eight years and will be returned to their original owners.
“We already have 170 dogs deployed in 30 units, including the operational area or conflict areas in the island’s north and east”, Senavirathne told AFP by telephone from his headquarters in the central town of Kandy.
He said it was the first time they were making a public appeal because of pressure on the police kennels(养狗场), which usually import about half of their annual requirement.
“This time, we hope to enlist about 50 dogs. They will be given six months extensive training and another six months on the job,” he said. “Thereafter they will be officially called Police Dogs.”
Sri Lanka’s dog population is about 2.3 million while it has 19.5 million people, and about 20,000 to 30,000 people are annually treated for homeless dog bites.
56. What did the police mainly want people to do?
A. Offer their dogs to be Police Dogs.  B. Stop their dogs from biting people.
C. Take care not to lost their dogs.       D. Give their dogs good training.

A. the dog’s age must be within a certain range   
B. the dogs must be ready for a lifelong job
C. the dogs must be of the same type           
D. the dogs must be experienced
58. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The number of dogs in the country is reasonable. 
B. Dogs will begin working immediately chosen.
C. Many dogs in the country are left uncared for.    
D. The country’s public order is very satisfying.
59. What’s the best title for the passage?

SAN FRANCISCO--- As skies are filled with millions of migrating birds, Europeans scientists say the seasonal miracle appears to depend on a seeming contradiction: The fatter the bird, the more  efficiently it flies.
The result of their study contradict a central theory of aerodynamics(空气动力学), which predicts that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
For birds, apparently, the cost of flying with heavy fuel loads is considerably smaller than previously thought.
Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year, non-stop commute(路程) between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance: 5,000 kilometers.
Another study in the journal Nature measured the benefits of flying in an aerodynamic V formation, which allows bird to save energy by gliding in the lead bird’s air stream.
Flying in formation, their heart rates were as much as 14.5 percent lower than flying solo, according to Henri Weimerskirch, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations.
Researchers had assumed that thinner, more athletic birds would have the best chance of survival.
The first study suggests that building up fat deposits(存放) to be burned as fuel during the migrating is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight. In the study, researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body masses during 28 simulated(模拟) flights. They were injected with a small amount of water containing a radioactive element that enabled the team to measure the amount of energy burned.
63. Researchers used to believe_______.
A. the thinner a bird is, the less energy it needs to fly
B. migratory birds make a journey from the British Isles to the Russian Arctic
C. aerodynamics makes no sense
D. birds eat more before they begin their migrations
64. According to the passage, birds prefer to fly in the V formation rather than fly solo because_____.
A. it is against aerodynamic to fly in the V formation
B. they can save energy while migrating 
C. they won’t get lost with a bird leading the way
D. in this way their heart beat faster so that they can fly faster
65. The researchers didn’t ______ in the study.
A. inject the birds with water containing a radioactive element
B. watch birds of different body masses in simulated flights
C. take the birds’ heart rates   
D. feed the birds to fatten them
66. The best title of the passage should be _______.
A. Birds Fatten up for Journey        B. Migratory Birds in Europe
C. New Findings                 D. Migrating in V formation

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy with business，and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough，he rode out a great deal.
During this time，all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house，when he would sometimes pass me coldly， and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.
One evening，several days later，I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair，and looked not quite so severe，and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright，probably with wine. As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned, and asked me，“Do you think I am handsome，Miss Eyre? ”
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No，sir.” “Ah，you really are unusual! You are a quiet， serious little person， but you can be almost rude.” “Sir，I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that,” “No，you shouldn't! I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance (抵消) your few good points.”
I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly，“Yes，you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character，but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope.”
It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly，as was the case for the first time.
“Don't be afraid of me， Miss. Eyre，”he continued. “You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me，and laugh， and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night.”
67. At the beginning Miss Eyre's impressions of Mr. Rochester were all except_______.   
A. busy                 B. sociable             C. dull                 D. changeable
68. The underlined sentence means________.
A. Only by meeting him around the house sometimes did I know a little about him.
B. Only by coming to the house could I know about him.
C. I occasionally met him but my knowledge about him was poor.
D. What I knew about him was limited in the house.
69. From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to _______.
A. tell her all his troubles                         B. tell her his life experience
C. blame her for misunderstanding him                 D. change his circumstances
70. At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sounded ________.
A. rude                 B. cold                   C. polite              D. encouraging
71. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG? 
A. Miss Eyre was at Lowood School before she came to Mr. Rochester’s house.
B. Miss Eyre didn’t see Mr. Rochester often.
C. Miss Eyre was honest, brave and confident.
D. Miss Eyre was brave, polite and warm-hearted.

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
72. What is the popular images of teenagers today?
A. They worry about school
B. They dislike living with their parents
C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles
D. They quarrel a lot with other family members
73. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ______.
A. share family responsibility                                      B. cause trouble in their families
C. go boating with their family                                 D. make family decisions
74. Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents______.
A. go to clubs more often with their children             B. are much stricter with their children
C. care less about their children’s life                 D. give their children more freedom
75. According to the author, teenage rebellion______.
A. may be a false belief                                    B. is common nowadays
C. existed only in the 1960s                               D. resulted from changes in families
