The magician，Liu Qian，discovered it，in front of an audience of millions at CCTVs Spring Festival Gala. Lius magic tricks have made the centuriesold art of magic fashionable once again，and made him the hottest magician in China. As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan，Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States，Japan，South Korea and the UK.Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of peoples love for magic.Liu is known for his interaction (互动) with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship (演出技巧)“Its actually thinking rather than ones manipulation (操作) skills that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively，to make them appear more interesting.”Liu said.Liu Qians success dated back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan，he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12，he won Taiwans Youth Magic Contest，which was judged by the great American magician，David Copperfield.Yet，Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur (业余的) magician in his spare time. However，his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.To refine his performing skills，he has performed on streets，roads and fields for passersby，policemen and farmers.“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds，”Liu said.24. The story is about _.A. Liu Qians experiences of becoming a great magician B. why people love magicC. what magic tricks are D. how fashionable magic is25. People love to watch magic because _.A. they cant figure out the secret of magic B. it makes them happyC. they love watching magicians make something impossible happenD. it is a centuriesold art26.

He became an amateur magician in his spare time.D. He couldnt find an acceptable job after graduation.27. From the story we know that _.A. Liu Qian competed in many magic competitionsB. Liu Qian often invites audiences to be in his magic showC. Liu Qian performs on streets in order to increase his fameD. Liu Qian does street show to make moneyCChina suffers choking smog, mass destruction of habitats and food poisoned with heavy metals. But ask an environmentalist what is the countrys biggest problem, and the answer is always the same. “Water is the worst,” says Wang Tao, of the Carnegie Tsinghua Centre in Beijing, “because of its shortage, and because of its pollution.”“ Without water,” agrees Pan Jiahua, of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, “people cannot survive in a desert.” Wang Shucheng, a former water minister, once said, “To fight for every drop of water or die. That is the challenge facing China.” He was not exaggerating (夸大). China uses 600 billion cubic meters of water a year. The national average hides an even more alarming regional difference. Four fifths of Chinas water is in the south, particularly the Yangtze river basin. Half the people and two thirds of the farmland are in the north, including the Yellow River basin. Beijing has the sort of water shortage usually associated with Saudi Arabia: just 100 cubic meters per person a year.China is using up water at an unsustainable (无法可持续的) rate. As if that were not bad enough, China is polluting what little water it has left. The Yellow River is often called the cradle of Chinese civilization. However, a third of the water is unfit even for agriculture. Four thousand petrochemical factories are built on its banks.The water available for use is thus so bad. Song Lanhe, chief engineer for urban water quality monitoring at the housing ministry, says only half the water sources in cities are safe to drink. More than half the groundwater in the north China plain cannot be used for industry, while seven tenths is unfit for human contact, even for washing.The best answer would be to improve the efficiency (效率) with which water is used. Only about 40% of water used in industry is recycled, half as much as in Europe. The rest is dumped in rivers and lakes. Wang Zhansheng of Tsinghua University argues that China is neglecting its urban water infrastructure (基础设施), leading to more waste. Water prices in most cities are only about a tenth of the level in big European cities, yet the government is unwilling to raise them, for fear of a popular criticism. The result is that Chinas “water productivity” is low.Rather than making wise reforms in pricing and water protection, China is focusing on increasing supplies. The best known such project is the Three Gorges dam on the Yangtze. But this year an even vaster project the South North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is due to start. It will link the Yangtze with the Yellow River, taking water from the wet south to the dry north. When finished, it is intended to deliver 45 billion cubic meters of water a year and to cost a total of 486 billion yuan ($79.4 billion).The environmental damage could be huge. The Yangtze is already seriously polluted. The project so far has reduced the quantity of underwater life in the Yangtze by over two thirds. And that was before it even opened. Ma Jun, Chinas best known environmental activist, says the governments preference for giant engineering projects only makes matters worse, “causing us to hit the limits of our water resources”. The water crisis is driving China to desperate but eventually unhelpful measures.28. From the first two paragraphs we know that _.A. Wang Shucheng was sad about Chinas futureB. water is badly polluted in most of the area of ChinaC. the water in China is unfit for people to survive in a desertD. people in North China are facing a more serious water shortage29. How does Song Lanhe convince us that the water available for use is so bad?A. By listing data.B. By giving examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By delivering warnings.30. China can raise “water productivity” by _.A. offering diverse water supplies and conservationB. raising water prices in big cities as European countriesC. strengthening construction of water infrastructure and recyclingD. building up more gian t water projects and cooperating with neighbors31. According to the author, the South North Water Diversion Project is _.A. a vast and significant project B. a huge and promising projectC. a costly but effective project D. a giant but unsuccessful projectDThere are many older people in the world and there will be many more. The fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries. It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes，attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Lifelong learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a countrys development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.32. According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?A. The diseases and disability of older people.B. The longer life and good health of people.C. The loss of taxes on older people.D. The increasing respect for older people.33. It is stated directly in the passage that older people should_.A. be treated differently in different culturesB. enjoy a similar lifestyleC. be ignored as society changesD. be valued by the younger generations34. Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C. Providing free health care for sick older people.D. Supplying lifelong learning programs to older people.35. The author concludes in the last paragraph that_.A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemB. population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgentlyC. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you get tense(紧张的) about something that happens in your life, you are experiencing stress.
