A
A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket (彩票) at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim who picked up the ticket, then claimed the￡25,000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to “help”, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lira (里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying : “I’m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lira for him---a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity (匿名) guaranteed.”
Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing
them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized---and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn’t you keep the money?” He asked. The professor replied: “I couldn’t because it’s not mine.” Then he walked off, spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.
41. The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 implies all of the following EXCEPT that _______.
A. he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery results
B. he hesitated about keeping the money for some time

TOKYO — A child-like robot that combines the roles of nurse, companion and security guard is to go on the market to help the growing ranks of elderly Japanese with no one to look after them.
The “Wakamaru” robot can walk around a house 24 hours a day, warning family, hospitals and security firms if it perceives (notices) a problem. It will, for example, call relatives if the owner fails to get out of the bath.
Cameras implanted in the eye-brows” of the robot enable it to “see” as it walks around an apartment. The images can be sent to the latest cellphones, which display the pictures.
Wakamaru, which speaks with either the voice of a boy or girl, is also designed to provide companionship, greeting its “papa” when he comes home.
It is the first household robot able to hold simple conversations, based on a vocabulary of around 10,000 words. It cannot only speak but can understand answers and react accordingly.
Wakamaru will inform a security firm if there is a loud bang or if an unknown person enters the house while the owner is out or asleep. It can recognize up to 10 faces.
But like most robots it cannot climb stairs.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, which developed Wakamaru, adapted Wakamaru from robots it already makes to go around nuclear power facilities (设施). The idea to use the technology in the home came from a company employee.
The technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan among increasing concern over how to look after the ever-growing number of old people. The life expectancy of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85, the highest in the world.
At the same time, extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents, whom they rarely see because of their long hours at office.
45. Which of the following is true about the Robot?
A. It is used in some nuclear power facilities.
B. It cannot speak but can understand answers.
C. It can go up and down the stairs easily.
D. It can recognize as many as 10 faces.
46. The purpose of this passage is _________.
A. to introduce a new product B. to solve the aging problem
C. to tell people how to use robot D. to show the rapid development of technology
47. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The robot can dial proper numbers for help.
B. The robot is likely to have a promising market.
C. The robot has given the Japanese a chance to live longer.
D The nuclear families have left many elderly Japanese anxious.
48. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Latest Development of Technology B. Japanese Robot and the Aging Society
C. Vast market of the New Robot D. Japanese-built Robot to help the Old
C
What would the world look like if it lost its battle against the greenhouse effect and global warming? We are talking worldwide disaster, including hurricane, earthquake, tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age.
This is the scene that faces those who see “The Day After Tomorrow”, a new Hollywood sci-fi (科幻) movie. It is in the second place of US box office chart. Some say that the director, Roland Emmerich, has an uncontrollable desire to destroy the world, especially New York. In 1996, he made “Independence Day”, in which aliens destroy earth. Two years later, he brought “Godzilla” to the screen. This saw a giant monster appear in New York and almost tear the city to pieces.
“The day after tomorrow” shows disaster and destruction on a global scale — all thanks to the weather.
In the movie, Jack Hall, a weather scientist, is the first man to realize that a new ice age is coming. In one of several natural disasters, his son Sam became trapped in New York’s Public Library when a tidal wave strikes the city. He is forced to fight rapidly dropping temperatures. And a pack of hungry wolves escaped from the zoo. Meanwhile, Jack must think of ways to save his son, himself and the whole world. He must follow a hard path north, as everyone else races south to live in warmer climates.
This film also brings a direct attack on the refusal of the current US government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (散发). It is hoped that “The Day After Tomorrow” may encourage a change in the government’s attitude towards environmental protection.
49. This text is meant to ________.
A. introduce a famous director, Richard Emmerich
B. introduce Roland Emmerich and his films
C. introduce the film “The Day After Tomorrow”
D. warn people of the greenhouse effect
50. The three films mentioned in the text share the same features EXCEPT that ________.
A. they are all set with the background New York
B. a terrible disaster happens to New York in the three of them
C. they are all sci-fi movies
D. they all take the second place in US box office chart
51. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph but one?
A. The content of “The Day After Tomorrow”.
B. How Roland Emmerich designed the film.
C. How terrible the weather is.
D. How people fight against nature.
52. What does the writer think of the government’s work on environmental protection?
A. It has been good so far. B. It is far from satisfaction
C. It is optimistic. D. It is satisfactory.
D
Scientists have found that regular but moderate (适量) use of alcohol by the middle-aged can protect against some of Britain’s biggest killers, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
The effect of up to two drinks a day for women and three for men is so marked that some researchers believe that middle-aged women should treat alcohol like a dietary addition.
“The results show that alcohol can be good for your health,” said professor Morten Gronbaek from the Center for Alcohol Research in Denmark.
“Age-related disease like thrombosis (血栓症) take a long time to develop but alcohol seems able to delay it by years.”
In his study, Gronbaek, studied 57,000 Danes, aged 55-65, to find links between their drinking habits and death rates. He found that people who drank little often had an obvious reduction in death rates.
The study is still following the Danes but early signs are that such drinkers will live up to several years longer than heavy drinkers or teetotalers (禁酒者).
Alcohol also reduced blood’s tendency to form clots, a key factor in strokes and heart attacks. However, both benefits disappeared in heavy or binge (狂饮) drinkers.
The British tended to binge-drink at the end of the week — resulting in high blood pressure as they recover from Sunday to Tuesday. High blood pressure is strongly linked to increased risk of heart attack.
Older research had suggested that it is only red wine that has health benefits, but the new studies point out that the effect can be seen with any alcohol.
Oliver James, professor of medicine at the University of Newcastle, said the benefits of alcohol for older people were becoming clear. “Moderate alcohol intake does appear to reduce the risk of age-related disease including diabetes, stroke and heart disease,” he said.
53. What’s the main result of research about alcohol according to the passage?
A. It can prevent some diseases for middle-aged to drink regularly and properly.
B. It will do good to women to use two drinks of beer a day.
C. Different kinds of alcohol can benefit different people.
D. Be careful to have drinks at weekends.
54. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Men love drinking more than women.
B. It usually takes 24 hours to recover from a heavy drink.
C. It’s good drinking a few cups of wine a little now and a little then.
D. All alcohol will bring benefit besides red wine.
55. The author mentioned British in order to ________.
A. provide good example for drinking
B. show the result of drinking
C. give negative example for improper drinking
D. point out the cause of heart disease
56. How is the passage organized?
A. Introduction—Argument—Explanation
B. Opinion—Discussion—Description
C. Main idea—Comparison—Supporting examples
D. Topic—Detailed information—Conclusion

Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?
Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and effort into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: People are looking for a lasting source of happiness.
Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes many because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” Or “I’ll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you wanted.
This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when…”
It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response — rather, it is a stimulus.
Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want — we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.
I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.
57. The second paragraph mainly tells us that people seek happiness _______.
A. in the same way B. in different ways C. by working hard D. by taking drugs
58. What does the underlined phrase “This thinking” refer to?
A. The thinking of being promoted.
B. The giving up of happiness.
C. The process and journey of finding happiness.
D. The misunderstanding of happiness.
59. The writer strongly believes that happiness is ________.
A. a response B. a stimulus C. a great paying job D. an expensive car
60. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ________.
A. tell people how to enjoy happiness B. encourage people to seek happiness
C. express his attitude towards happiness D. criticize the wrong ideas about happiness
