18.If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,you don't need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob(暴民).Who are they?Are they mobs?Don't be confused by their name.Actually,a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place,do something unusual for a brief period of time,and then quickly disappear.
They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks.The messages may be sent to friends,who send to more people.At a predetermined time,they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books,coming together to look at the sky,waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds.Then,they quickly disappear before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones,the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.
Bill Lasik,senior editor of Harper's Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003.Wasik claimed that the he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of"the next big thing".
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people.Such an activity might seem amusing and magical,but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place.Undoubtedly,flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential,such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.
    The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.People use it to do many things.For example,in 2009,Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him.Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

6.Darek Fidyka,a 38-year-old Bulgarian,had been paralysed (癱瘓的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack.Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose,transplanted  (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓).Now he can walk and even drive a car.The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.
       The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman,who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves,the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows."The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself,and does so throughout life,and put it into an area that doesn't repair itself,"Professor Raisman said.
       Polish doctors injected the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka's spinal cord above and below the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue.The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.
       Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s,but this is his greatest success."I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat that couldn't control its hand put its hand out to me.That was an exciting moment,because I realised then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true."
       Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt-it might not work for others.But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been reali sed.
       David Nicholls,who helped provide money for the breakthrough,said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.
"What you've got to understand is that for three million paralysed people in the world today,the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,"he said.
28.Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A
A.The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.
B.Cells in the nose can be easily transplanted.
C.Cells in the nose re-produce rapidly.
D.He just wanted to give it a try.
29.Why did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?D
A.The nasal cells re-produced and spread quickly.
B.The nerves from his ankle helped cure the injury.
C.The nervous system in the spinal cord can repair itself.
D.The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.
30.What made Professor Geoff Raisman believe the nervous system can be repaired?D
A.His study on animals.
B.His operation on a paralysed patient.
C.His sudden thoughts about Christmas.
D.His unusual experience with a sick rat.
31.David Nicholls'words suggest thatB.
A.the world is becoming better and brighter
B.paralysed people have the hope of recovery
C.the report of the breakthrough will be published soon
D.researchers across the globe will carry out the operation.

3.The discovery of an ancient giant panda skull has confirmed its bamboo diet dates back more than 2 million years and may have played a key part in its survival.
A  Chinese-US research team reports its results today following studies on a fossil skull found in south China's Cuangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2001.
The six fossils unearthed in Jinyin Cave are dated between 2.4 and 2 million years ago,according to the report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,an influential US journal.
Jin Changzhu,of the chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and lead author of the paper,said the smaller fossil skull indicates the giant pandas were about a third smaller than today's pandas.
Researchers knew the panda reached its maximum size about 500,000 years ago,when it peaked,and then gradually became smaller.
Jin,a paleontologist (古生物學(xué)者) at the Institute of Vertebrate paleontology and Paleoanthropology (古人類(lèi)學(xué)) attached to the CAS,said the size variation was a basic rule of evolution.
"A species tends to grow bigger when it reaches the peak of its population,but becomes smaller when numbers decline,"he said.
The dental remains of the skull,which is the oldest giant panda skull ever found,are similar to today's pandas,indicating the type of teeth that could munch (津津有味地嚼)mountains of bamboo.A panda can eat up to 40kg of bamboo per day.
Paleoanthropologist Russell Ciochon,the US co-author at the University of lowa,said the panda's focus on bamboo could have helped it survive all these years.
"Once an animal begins to rely on a common and stable food source,such as bamboo,it tends to evolve a larger body size,"he said."As individuals of the evolving species grow bigger,they have a better chance not to be eaten by predators (肉食動(dòng)物) due to their larger body size."
33.According to the research of the CAS,there were most pandas in the worldC.
A.2 million years ago
B.between 2.4 and 2 million years ago
C.500,000 years ago
D.Nowadays
34.The underlined word"variation"in para 6 meansB.
A.fall           B.change       C.increase       D.decrease
35.From the passage,we can learnB.
A.pandas began to eat bamboo 2 million years ago
B.a(chǎn) species tends to grow smaller when numbers decline
C.the giant pandas were about a third the size of today's pandas
D.pandas'bamboo has played an important role in its development.

10.China-A senior business official has expressed the hope that stronger economic ties between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will not be affected by territorial rows in the South China Sea.
"China is not willing to see an impact on economic and trade cooperation between China and ASEAN by the South China Sea dispute,which would be harmful to both sides,"said Xu Ningning,executive deputy secretary-general of the China-ASEAN Business Council. But he did express concern that rising bilateral investment between China and ASEAN members may suffer if the situation continues to get worse.
Speaking at an awards ceremony for Chinese and ASEAN enterprises,Xu warned that Chinese an d Southeast Asian investors may be concerned about their investment return if the tension continues. He said that although governments will try to maintain bilateral investment growth between China and ASEAN,it's up to the enterprises to choose their investment destinations and make specific investment plans,especially under sensitive conditions."A closer economic relationship and more comprehensive trading cooperation will promote political relations of mutual trust between China and ASF,AN,"Xu said.
At the East Asian summit in Phnom Penh,Cambodia,last week,ASEAN members,together with China and five other Asia-Pacific countries,announced the launch of talks on what could be the world's largest Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.

In 2011,China-ASEAN trade reached 362.85 billion,an increase of 23.9 percent,compared with last year. By 2015,bilateral trade is set to reach 500 billion. According to the council,Chinese enterprises had invested 18.5 billion in ASEAN countries by the end of October of this year.

8.If you live in a big city,there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route,and it's not just overcrowded subway trains.
Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong.For her,one thing she can't put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自動(dòng)扶梯) in subway stations."Escalators help us move faster and save time.It isn't a place to rest,"the 24-year-old says."I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours.It annoys me to no end."
Admitting she is not the patient type,Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where"stand right,walk left"signs are often ignored.
The logic behind the"stand right,walk left"escalator etiquette(禮儀) seems obvious.Even though you may want to catch your breath while you're transported up or down,you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry,so that they can run and catch the train.
Many cities'escalators,including London's and Beijing's,use the"stand right,walk left"system to speed up the flow of people.(Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.) But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons.In Hong Kong's subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to"stand still"on escalators.Even so,most people in this fast-paced city observe the"stand right,walk left"etiquette.
But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient.The BBC quotes one stander as saying:"If the person is in such a rush,why not just take the stairs?Even when the escalator is packed and there's nowhere to move,I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass."
Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit,do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others:leave enough space between each other,don't stay at the end of the escalator,and if someone is blocking your way,a simple"excuse me"is enough.
33.In the second paragraph,the underlined word"It"refers toC.
A.the author's living in the big city of Hong Kong.
B.being crowded on the subway trains in rush hours.
C.people's blocking the way or chat on the escalators.
D.people's standing on the right side resting.
34.When on the escalator,a majority of local people in Hong KongD.
A.stand still as the railway stations require.
B.ignore the"stand right,walk left"signs
C.use the stairs instead of escalators.
D.follow the"stand right,wail left"etiquette.
35.Which of the following statements is the writer's opinion?B
A.People should stand right no matter where they are.
B.People should do as the Romans do and consider others.
C.People should do as they like on the escalators.
D.People should be seriously criticized when they block the way.
