university in shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote（引语）from the italian poet dante as a kind of motto. the study of fudan university, one of chinas top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen dantes “follow your own path and dont worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto. this was followed by “believe yourself” and “self-improvement without stop.”students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need.some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part in childrens growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character.36.the study shows _. awhich university should have

dunderstanding carebadvertising is as old as story-telling itself. for as long as people have wanted to persuade others to buy their goods, give them their vote or lay down their lives, they have used the methods of advertising. of course, methods have changed over the years. at first, word of mouth was the only means of communicating, but after the invention of the first printing press and the arrival of the first newspaper, the camera, the television, and the home video recorder, the persuasive methods of the advertising industry have become much more sophisticated.advertising appeals more to our emotions than to our minds and therefore uses persuasive techniques which, though not misleading, are certainly biased towards its products. advertisements have some basic features.they are fast and short. they deliver their message in minimum time and space.they are concentrated. their language and images are extremely dense.they appeal to consumers emotions rather than to their logic.they entertain. that entertainment may be in the form of a jazzy melody or a photograph or a clever joke, but it always draws attention to itself because advertisements have to compete against every other competitor for consumers attention.40.in the past, people used methods of advertising when they wanted others to .abuy their products and lay downbvote for them and give up their livescsupport them and lie downdbuy their products and give them tickets41.how can advertisements attract people?aby showing reasonable prices of the products.bby showing fabulous pictures of the products.cby reminding people to think before deciding to buy the products.dby persuading people in the form of music, pictures and so on.42.the writer implied in the passage that .aadvertisers only present good points of their productsbadvertisers try to cheat consumerscadvertisers are not sure about their productsdadvertisers are competing with each other.43.“itself” in the last sentence of the passage refers to .aphotographbentertainmentcjokedjazzy melodycmillions of people die of hunger in southern africa every year, but when zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the us, the government politely paid no.“we dont know whether the food is safe,” said zambias commerce, trade and industry minister dipak patel.his worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about americas genetically modified（gm，转基因的）crops. just last week, eu（欧盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import gm sweet corn from the us.ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed（杂交） plants to make them stronger or better tasting. at one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other.but when gm techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.this means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species. they can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin a. but many people believe gm foods are a health risk.“if left to me, i would certainly not eat gm foods,” said scottish scientist arpad pusztai. “we are putting new things into food which havent been eaten before. the effects on the immune system（免疫系统） are not easy to predict.”at the moment, the official argument is that gm foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. but there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. further harm could be caused by the genes from gm plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops.44. we learn from the passage .apeople have discovered that gm foods will do harm to human healthbmillions of zambia people die of eating too much gm foodscpeople are still not sure if gm foods will do harm to human healthdgenetic material added to plants will damage our bodies sooner or later45. what does “in two minds” in the third paragraph mean?aunsurebworriedclikelydcareless46.

have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadgetunder the name of bowlingualin u. s. pet stores and gift shops this summer.tokyo-based takara co. ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in japan late last year. it is forecasting far bigger sales once an english language translation for dogs comes to america in august. the united states is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in japan.we know that the americans love their dogs so much, so we dont think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, the takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in atlanta.regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by time magazine, bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制台) that is connected to a database (数据库). the console divides each bark into six emotional typeshappiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desireand shows common phrases, such as youre ticking me off, that fit the dogs emotional state.takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.one thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dogs world since takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. they are too unpredictable (反复无常) , the marketing manager said.48.this passage mainly tells us that bowlingual _.a. was invented in japan b. has developed quicklyc. will be sold in america d. sells well for its price49.the underlined word they in the last paragraph refers to _.a. markets b. products c. plans d. cats50.when was this passage most probably published?a. in the winter of 2002. b. in the spring of 2003.c. in the summer of 2002. d. in the autumn of 2003.51.from

lessons with an old japanese judo teacher. the boy was doing well, so he couldnt understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.“ master,” the boy finally said, “shouldnt i be learning more moves?”“ this is the only move you know, but this is the only move youll ever need to know,” the teacher replied.not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first tournament.surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. the third match proved to be more
