that it failed to make progress in negotiations （谈判） with the Chinese government for permission to let Google stop censoring（审查） its search resultsSince posting the announcement on its website, Googles stock（股票） price has fallen from $ 595 to about $ 567, while Baidu, the leading search engine in China, has seen its stock price rise by 50%A potential foreign beneficiary （受益者） is Bing, Microsofts new search engineAnd while Bing may not exactly have got the keys to a very rich kingdom, its managing group understand their good fortune and are not shying about sticking the knife into GoogleCraig Mundie, a chief officer of Bing, told China Daily that “We feel good enough now,” adding, “but its a 20-year journey, and not just three yearsAnd Microsoft is here to stay”Several other Chinese Internet companies are no doubt moving swiftly to take advantage of this situationBoth Sohucom a Yahoo-like website in China and a hugely successful instant-messaging company called Tencent （腾讯） are already trying to hire Google China staffAnalysts believe that of the two, Tencent is in the better positionNearly 70% of Chinas 400 million Internet users use instant-messaging, and of those, 80% use Tencents system, known as QQThats the major reason why Tencents potential market is bigger than Baidus, and an insider at the company acknowledges that the search business is full of opportunitiesAll the competitors of Google do what the Chinese government requires: censor their search resultIf Microsoft and the others intend to be in China “to stay”, as Craig Mundie put it, there is no chance that the censoring principle will change for themAs to the Googles exit, one of its investors made the comment recently, “Therere still a lot of us who believe that theyve made the wise choiceBut Google is apparently out and I guess we just get to accept it” However, some Chinese netizens regretted the loss of its professional services on Google, such as maps, videos, music and translations56Google stops its business in China because _Atoo many companies enter the market Bits stock price has fallen sharplyCChinese companies hire its workersDit refused to censor the search results57When Google withdraws, _AChinese netizens wont have any professional serviceBOnly Chinese companies will provide search serviceCChinas attitude towards censoring wont be changedDThe Google managing group will regret its decision58A suggested title for the news would be AWhen Google Withdraws from China BWho Wins in Chinas Search BusinessCWho Will Profit When Google Exits DWhy Google Loses to Other CompetitorsBBritish scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt waterTheir work may enable abandoned farms to become productive farms once moreTim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex Universities School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become saltyThe pair have recently begun a threeyear program, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to find out which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditionsThe aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with riceIt is estimated that each year more than 100 hectares of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts plantsThe problem is caused by several factorsIn the tropics, mangroves（一种热带树木）that create swamps （沼泽） and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut downIn the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep inIn Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated（蒸发） by the heat, leaving salt deposits behindToo much salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normallyHeavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to surviveTo overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants growthThey have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial useOnce the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plantsLand that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world59Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true？AThey are students at Sussex University BThey are rice breedersCThey are husband and wife DThey are colleagues at an institution of higher learning60Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussed in the passage?ANatural barriers to sea water have been destroyedBThe water table has gone down after droughtsCSea level has been continuously risingDEvaporation of water leaves salt behind61The word “affect” in Paragraph 6 could be best replaced by Abenefit Bbalance Cinfluence Dprotect62The attitude of the author towards the research project is _ApositiveBnegativeCsuspiciousDindifferentCThe Universal Autograph（名人签名） Collectors Club （UACC） has
