一、新闻报道类（I）MONTREAL (Reuters) Crossing the US-Canada border（边界）to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen 10,000 for breaking Washingtons strict new security（安全）rules.The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海关）station in this are is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally（非法）.Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like Im living in a prison,” he said.1We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .

It asked teachers that they should prevent pupils from using street language and text style, adding, “Most answers require formal expression of language.”“Many concerns were expressed by examiners about basic errors, often appearing in the work of clearly able students,” the report continued.It added that the use of street and text language “appeared with surprisingly regularity in the work of students who clearly desired a higher grade”.“Most answers require formal expression but even when an informal style is appropriate-students should know the examination context and, in particular, should not use street language and text style.” it said.There is rising concern about pupils writing skills, especially among boys.

With the citys population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, and official with the water authority, said Shanghais water consumption will not increase from its present amount.Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of Chinas economy. Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the citys infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology. “The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the citys drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.At present, the city has 600，000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households at a cost of 40 Yuan each.In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation.Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage（污水）to improve the water environment.At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.1People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from _now.Athe underground Bthe rain Cthe Yangtze River Dthe Huangpu River2According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using waterbecause .Athe renovating of family toilets will save plenty of waterBabout half of waste water has been treated alreadyCadvanced technology makes people use water as much as possibleDthere is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present3The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households to .Amake peoples living more convenient Bimprove peoples living standardsCease employment pressure Dmeet the total demand of water4Which group of measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water?aimprove drinking water quality bchange some industrial structurecintroduce or use some new technology dspeed the economic development of Shanghaierenovate some family toilets fbuild more sewage treatment factoriesAa, b, c, d Bb, c, e, f Cb, c, d, e Da, b, e, f5We can infer from the passage that .Athe boom of economy will need a larger amount of water in the futureBcitizens today in Shanghai drink the best quality of water in the worldCnot everyone today in Shanghai is aware of water shortageDall the family toilets will be renovated to save water within 3 years1-5 DDDBC（V）Only three local students won Chinese Blog（博客）Competition.

The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again. The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldnt look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earths surface. Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well（井） by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.35.In which order does water go around Earth? a .Fall down as rain or snow. b. Heated up by the sun on lakes, oceans and other wet places. c. Cool off high in the sky. d. Form clouds. e. Change into vapour. A. dacbe B. becda C. caebd D. bceda36. The groundwater seems to_. A. be just on the ground B. be pure water like that in a lake or river C. exist in rocks and sand D. flow along like rivers or streams37.

Groundwater can be quickly replaced by other water once pumped out. B. Groundwater is very valuable. C. Groundwater has nothing to do with human beings. D. Groundwater travel in an unknown way.1-4 BCCB(II) Satellites are an important part of our ordinary livesFor example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satelliteSome satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are movingSatellites are also used to connect our international phone callsComputer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellitesAirplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact locationWe use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to anotherThey are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equatorSometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same placeThis is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hourexactly the same speed that the earth rotatesA satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earthSometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right positionThis usually happens about every five or six daysSpace is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the EarthA satellite usually works for about 10-12 yearsSatellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repairedOften，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long timeThis is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other1Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?ASending information for weather forecast BTaking photographs of the EarthCSending TV picturesDProviding food for airplane pilots2Whats t
