association for world s ugly people This town proudly declares itself the World Capital of Ugly People The origins of the club are poignant 酸楚的 Thirty years ago Piobbico had 128 unmarried women A common problem was their appearance of being unattractive Telesforo Iacobelli President of Pibbico s Ugly Club formed a marriege agency to try to find them husbands The club s members carry Ugliness is a Virtue Beauty is Slavery ID cards which rank their degree of ugliness from insufficient to exceptional Every September the Piobbico Ugly Festival is held here Members from different countries meet here to have a big party They feel good about their ugliness in Piobbico Piobbico is the world headquarters of the Ugly Club The club wants every town and country to have a club Now there many such clubs in different countries The club has attracted academics doctors and sociologists interested in discussing problem of ugliness in society In 1996 a symbolic marriage ceremony was staged in Piobbico between the winner of the Miss Bellissima beauty contest and the fattest man in Italy Iacobell said We are not against beauty We have had four Miss Italys join our club A monument to ugly people is set to be unveiled in the northern town of Piobbico It is not a monument to a good looking film star or brave war hero but to a person who is just as beautiful but only on the inside 41 How do the ugly people in Piobbico feel of themselves A They think they are unattractive B They are sad about their ugliness C They feel good about their ugliness D They feel shameful about their ugliness 42 From the passage we learn that A people in the Ugly Club are all ugly B Piobbico is the only town in the world that has an ugly club C all the Ugly Club s members carry an ID card D the winner of the Miss Bellissima beauty contest really married the fattest man 43 The monument in the northern town of Piobbico was built for A Miss Italys B a war hero C a good looking film star D ugly people who are beautiful inside 44 What is the best title for this passage A A New Kind of Club B Ugliness is a Virtue C Piobbico Ugly Festival D The World Capital of Ugly People Piobbico B B In the past young people in Japan were expected to take on responsibilities to support their parents and grandparents Now they expect to be supported well into young adulthood The new breed born since the 1960s have never known anything but richness Youth are seen as resistant to entering society as mature adults to becoming social citizens Once the great objective of reconstruction after the Second Page 5 of 13 World War was accomplished a new generation lost the motivating power that had united the nation together Japan s birth rate has been falling rapidly partly because of economic decline and the job and the financial insecurity that it has caused In 1999 the figure was 1 38 children per woman the lowest ever recorded At the same time youth crime although still especially low by western standards rose to its highest level since record keeping began 32 years ago Likewise the proportion of students dropping out before graduating at 2 5 also very low by western standards has never the less been rising Entrepreneurial 企业家的 role models are few and far between Bill Gates is often mentioned but a foreign model can only have so much influence The problem is that the Japanese culture discourages people from revealing details of personal life including such difficult or painful experience as starting a company In the past successful companies such as Honda or Hitachi provided role models of a sort But today they have been faded by the downturn and few others have risen to take their place By the same reason young people often feel isolated from their fathers who worked too hard at their jobs to establish much of a relationship with their children The one thing they re sure of is that they don t want to be like their fathers And the girls don t want to be with boys who are like their fathers so the boys are sure not to be says Professor Morishima 45 According to the passage young people were formerly expected to A enter society before adulthood B hold together C work hard and support their families D study hard and find a good job 46 The author takes the tow examples of the youth crime and students drop out rates to show A Japanese youth are overburdened B the educational system in Japan is not working C public security and order in Japan are bad D young people in Japan have lower moral standards than previously 47 Today entrepreneurial models are rarely found in Japan because A Japanese culture discourages people from talking about how to start a company B western models are considered to be better C people lack experience in starting up complaints D the new breed don t want to work hard 48 The passage mainly discusses A the decline of Japanese company B the great change of the ethnical 民族的 and value concept of youth in Japan C the existence of generation gap between young people and their parents D the increase in birth rates in Japan C C Are some people born clever and others born stupid Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience Strangely enough the answer to Page 6 of 13 these questions is yes To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence On the other hand a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings Thus the limits of person s intelligence are fixed at birth whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment This view now held by most experts can be supported in a number of ways It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with The closer the blood relationship between two people the closer they are likely to be intelligent Thus if we take two unrelated people at random 随便地 from population it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other Relations like brothers and sisters parents and children usually have similar intelligence and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments We might send one for example to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring We would soon find differences in intelligence developing and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence 49 The writer is in favor of the view that man s intelligence is given to him A at birth B through education C both at birth and through education D neither at birth nor through education 50 If a child is born with low intelligence he can A become a genius B still become a genius if he should be given special education C reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings D not reach his intelligence in his life 51 The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows A the importance of their intelligence B the role of environment on intelligence C the importance of their positions D the part that birth plays 52 The best title of the passage can be A Surroundings B Intelligence C Dependence on Environment D Effect of Education D Dog Fancy 1 year MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION PRINY Cover Price 59 88 Price 12 00 1 00 issue You Save 47 88 80 Issue 12 issues 12 months Details Dog Fancy is information driven and provides

Beijing Feb 9 Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese To many property developers and local government officials housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries However the average housing price in the United States is only 8 000 yuan per square meter while in China it is even higher than in the United States This shows that there are some bubbles 泡沫 in Chinese real estate market the International Finance News reported Although the average price of residential houses in the United States after converted to Renminbi is about 8 000 yuan per square meter the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area then the housing price will be even lower than 8 000 yuan per square meter In most big Chinese cities such as Beijing Shanghai and Shenzhen houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market 房地产市场 does have some bubbles Moreover Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality environment and supporting facilities Furthermore it should be noted that American people s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US At the beginning of 2007 Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public Now in order to reduce the high housing prices the government can regulate 控制 the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers At the same time the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund raising channels such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units By applying these multiple means it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered 57 What is the average housing price per square meter in China A 8000 yuan B 10000 yuan C 7000 yuan D It s not mentioned here 58 Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housing price in China is even
