Happy April Fool’s Day. In celebration of the day, we have put together a list of some of the greatest tricks in history. They are the lies that have been designed for innocent people who are ready to believe them.
INSTANT COLOR TV
In 1962 there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station’s technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily transform their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in color. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people were taken in. Actual color TV transmission only started to appear in Sweden on April 1, 1970.
SAN SERRIFFE
In 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement(增刊) in honor of the tenth anniversary of San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles affectionately described the geography and culture of this unknown nation. The Guardian’s phones rang all day as readers asked for more information about the beautiful holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the island was made up.
NIXON FOR PRESIDENT
In 1992, American National Public Radio’s Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was,“ I didn’t do anything wrong, and I won’t do it again.”Accompanying this announcement were audio clips(片断) of Nixon delivering his election speech. Listeners responded immediately to the announcement, flooding the show calls expressing shock and anger. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Hockenberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon’s voice was copied by comedian Rich Little.

Shanghai, as a global, open and innovative(创新的) city, has been chosen as the official venue(比赛点) of the Special Olympics World Summer Games 2007.
Bruce Pasternack, president and CEO of the Board of Special Olympics Headquarters, said Shanghai was chosen as the venue because of the city’s historical role and community efforts in keeping up with the objectives of the Special Olympics movement.
“It is a global, open, growing and innovative city, and its tradition of understanding our movement makes it the ideal venue in getting our message out to the world,”Pasternack said in an exclusive interview with China Daily.
The Special Olympics are year-round competitive events and training programmes for people with intellectual disabilities of all ages, abilities and levels. With international recognition as a professional global sports event, it acts as a tool to promote equal rights and social status.
China began its participation in the Special Olympics in the 1980s, reaching an explosion of interest when the number of participating athletes increased tenfold from 50,000 to over 500,000 in the last five years.
“This is the highest growth we have ever seen in any significant programme,”said Timothy Shriver, chairman of the Board of Special Olympics Headquarters.“That’s how we came to the decision two years ago to move towards China to grow the programme. We want to develop it into a large showcase for the world.”
China’s growing enthusiasm for the Special Olympics moves beyond just mere figures. Deng Pufang, the eldest son of China’s former leader Deng Xiaoping, is a leading advocate for the movement as part of the International Board of Directors.
A family support programme in China boasts 6,000 parent volunteers advocating activities for their disabled children.
China is also the only country in the world with a health care centre located in Zhejiang Province dedicated to training special“doctors”to care for children who are mentally disabled.
60. This passage is most probably .
A. a personal letter B. an advertisement
C. a part of a story D. a newspaper article
61.All the following may be the factors for which Shanghai has been chosen as the venue of the 2007 Special Olympic Games except that .
A. Shanghai is a global, open and innovative city
B. the Chinese people has shown great enthusiasm for the Special Olympics
C. China is the only country that has doctors to care for children who are mentally disabled
D. Shanghai has made great community efforts in keeping up with the objectives of the Special Olympics movement.
62. The underlined world “advocating” most probably means ________.
A. supporting B. providing C. designing D. joining
63. From the passage we can see that .
A. Shanghai is the best city for sports contest in China
B. the Special Olympics are held once a year in the world
C. Shanghai has been chosen as the new headquarters of the Special Olympics
D. China will join the Special Olympics for the first time in 2007

Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent. They will help shoppers find cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.
The touch-screen devices are on show at the Food Marketing Institute’s exhibition here this week. “These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker,” said Michael Alexander, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc. which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.
Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBM’s“shopping buddy,”has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.
Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.
“The whole model is driven by advertisers’ need to get in front of shoppers,”said Alexander.“They’re not watching 30-second TV ads any more.”
People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system that will organize the trip around the store. If you’re looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.
The devices also keep a record of what you buy. When you’re finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.
The new computerized shopping assistants don’t come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about$160,000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $500 for each device.
64. What does the underlined word “ they” refer to?
A. Supermarkets B. Shop assistants C. Shopping carts D. Shop managers
65. Which of the following is the correct order of shopping with the computerized shopping carts?
a. Start the system. b. Make a shopping list.
c. Find the things you want. d. Go to a self-checkout
A. a-b-d-c B. b-a-c-d C. a-c-b-d D. b-c-a-d
66. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. New age for supermarkets
B. Concierge and Shopping Buddy
C. Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable
D. New computers make shopping carts smarter

Peaceful Use of Space Resources Drives China’s Space Program
(和平利用太空资源推动中国的太空工程)
China’s successful launch of its second manned spacecraft Shenzhou-6 has drawn worldwide applause. It has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.
It is widely believed home and abroad that the latest progress made by China will surely improve national unity and make the country’s 1.3 billion people more confident in their future in terms of social and economic progress.
However, some people in and outside China describe China’s manned space program as a fame project which brings in little economic benefit.
They argue that billions of US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling. However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.
Space technology has become increasingly important for the exploration and peaceful use of space resources due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.
Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is enough for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.
China has benefited from its investment in space sector. Space technology has become an essential part of people’s daily life, such as weather forecast, telecommunications, disaster reduction, and resources searching.
Striving hard to feed its 1.3 billion people and more in the future, China has been developing improved species of crops on the basis of space technology, mostly through recoverable satellites and spacecraft.
Information obtained from Shenzhou-3 and Shenzhou-4 in Earth observation has been used for maritime(海上的) pollution control and desertification control projects, which is useful for China and other parts of the world.
China has listed space technology and information technology among the country’s seven high-tech fields in its national high-tech research and development program initiated in 1986.
72. Which point of view may the author NOT agree to?
A. The successful launch is significant to the development of our country.
B. The successful launch proves that our space technology is advanced in the world.
C. Though the launch is successful, it benefits little in terms of economy.
D. It’s necessary to explore resources in space.
73. Some people think China’s manned space program brings in little economic benefit as they think about the following EXCEPT .
A. there are many poor areas in China lacking supports
B. many children can’t go to school because of poverty
C. it will delay the progress of economy
D. it costs too much on the space program
74. Which supports the idea of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Resources are shrinking all over the world
B. There are enough useful resources in space for human use
C. The mankind is worrying about less and less oil resource
D. All above
75. What can we learn from this Passage?
A. Up till now, only three nations can send satellites into space
B. The world are faced with the crisis (危机) of oil nowadays
C. China failed to get useful information in Earth observation until the successful launch of Shenzhou-6
D. Space technology has nothing to do with agricultural development in China

It’s Time to Reduce Loads
Nowadays, we often hear people complain that it is expensive to buy houses, to pay for the children’s education and to see the doctor, which is really true. As is shown in the picture, some people are burdened with high expenses all their lives. Some people even get stuck in heavy debt even though they make their efforts to earn money and save every coin. Because of lack of money, some people have no room to live in. Some can’t send their children to school. And some others even have to bear the pain of diseases.
In my opinion, the government should build up a perfect system to meet the basic needs of living. The expenses on houses, tuition and medicine should be cut down so that everyone can enjoy a better life.
