BEIJING—Apple Inc. is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular  network compatibility （兼容） for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion．
According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China．The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple’s local iPhone partner, China Unicom （Hong Kong） Ltd．
China Unicom declined  to comment．
Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland．Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed  the US as the world’s largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels．
Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the company’s first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city’s central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center’s upscale （高檔的） IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city’s waterfront．Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China．She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2．
Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world．The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market．
The new stores reflect Apple’s confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers．Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost （增長(zhǎng)） the company’s third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July．China revenue （收益） surged （激增） six-fold to about $3．8 billion during the three months ended June 25．
“This has been a substantial （重大） opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we’re just scratching the surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China．“I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there．”
From China Daily 2011-09-08
小題1:According to the news, which of the following statements is true?
A．WCDMA is not the only 3G standard in the world．
B．Apple Inc. sells its products in the market of the Chinese mainland all by its own stores．
C．The consumers in China can only get iPad2 of Wi-Fi versions．
D．Chinese mainland is the second largest PC market in this year’s second quarter．
小題2:Which one of the following phrases can replace the underlined word in paragraph 1?
A．in the interests of B．in the front of
C．in the process ofD．in the case of
小題3:How many full-service Apple stores in China?
A．4B．6C．8D．Unknown
小題4:What’s the probable meaning of “six-fold” in the last but one paragraph?
A．six timesB．one-six C．60 percentD．2times
小題5:By saying “we’re just scratching the surface right now”, Cook means ________．
A．they don’t know much about China’s market
B．they will sell more products and gain more profit in China
C．they need to obtain more permission from China’s government
D．they ignored the rural market in China

Beijing ?（13, July） China sent up a new data relays atellite （數(shù)據(jù)中繼衛(wèi)星）, Tianlian I -02, on Monday at the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in South-western Sichuan province．The new satellite will promote the country's satellite communication network for space docking （對(duì)接）．
The satellite was launched on a Long-March-SC carrier rocket at 11:41 p．m．, sources at the centre told Xinhua News Agency．The satellite separated from the rocket 26 minutes after its launch and was then successfully delivered into a geostationary transfer orbit （地球同步轉(zhuǎn)移軌道）.
Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the satellite is the country's second data relay satellite．The first, Tianlian I -01, was launched on April 25．2008．
The two satellites will form a network to improve communications between China's spacecraft and bases on Earth, according to the centre．They will also be used to help the nation's first space docking, scheduled for the second half of this year．

Soccer star David Beckham will be there with his pop star wife Victoria. Elton John is attending with partner David Furnish.
The guest list for the April 29 union of Prince William and Kate Middleton is still being kept secret, but details have begun to leak out, with some coming forward to say they are attending and the Mail on Sunday newspaper claiming to have  the  official  invitation  roster (名單).
The palace dismissed the newspaper's list as speculation (猜測(cè)) Sunday.
It won't be clear until the day how the royal couple has balanced the protocol demands (王室規(guī)則) that they invite statesmen, diplomats, religious leaders, politicians and the like with invitations to the people they really want to see, particularly the crowd they made friends with when they met and fell in love at St. Andrews University in Scotland.
Kate Reardon, editor of high-society magazine Tatler, said many prominent Britons acted as if they didn't really care about receiving an invitation while secretly checking the mail every day to see if the invitation had arrived.
"Everyone's been hoping," she said.
William and Middleton have showed their modern side by inviting a number of close friends, including some former sweethearts, the newspaper said.
The wedding is not technically a state event, which somewhat limits the protocol requirements applied to the guest list. But royal obligations (職責(zé)) still order that a large number of the 1,900 or so seats go to guests from the world of politics, not actual friends of the couple.
The couple have also invited many guests from the charities they work with, and Middleton has used her influence to invite the butcher, shopkeeper and pub owner from her home village of Bucklebury.
President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were not invited and many other international leaders are also expected to be watching on TV, not from a seat at Westminster Abbey.
It is not clear if treasured Brits from the world of stage and screen and pop music will be on the list.
小題1: Who were not invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding?    
A．David Beckham and his wife.
B．Elton John and his partner David Furnish.
C．People from the charities they work with.
D．President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

A．The guest list for the wedding is officially announced.
B．The wedding is technically a state event.
C．Only the actual friends of the couple will be invited to the wedding.
D．A large number of guests from the world of politics will be invited.
小題3:The word "prominent" in paragraph 5 probably means         .  
A．honestB．modern
C．well known and importantD．busy and hardworking
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that         .  
A．their wedding will be held at Westminster Abbey on April 29th.
B．Kate Reardon was invited to the wedding.
C．journalists will not be allowed to attend the wedding.
D．their former sweethearts are sure to attend their wedding.
小題5:The best title for the passage might be         .   
A．Prince William and Middleton fall in love at St. Andrews University
B．British royal wedding guest list details leaks out
C．Prince William and Middleton prepares for their grand wedding
D．British singers and movie stars invited to the wedding

SEOUL, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) — Hundreds of families from the two Koreas on Saturday met at the DPRK's (朝鮮人民主主義人民共和國(guó)) Mount Kumgang resort (度假勝地)in the first government-arranged reunion since the inauguration（就職）of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.
Earlier in the day, 96 South Koreans, of whom more than three-quarters were at the age of 70 or older, crossed the inter-Korean border（韓朝邊界）, heading for the Kumgang resort to meet their families separated by the 1950—1953 Korean War.
Arriving at the DPRK's resort in the afternoon, South Koreans met with their long-separated families at a large-scale gathering at around 3 p.m. local time, and later are to have a dining meeting in the evening.
The separate, personal meetings are planned to be held on Sunday.
The South Korean families will come back home on Monday after the three-day gathering, followed by the second-session reunion event which will last from Tuesday to Thursday.
The reunion, which had become a semi-regular event(半定期舉行的活動(dòng)) since 2000 after a historic inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang(平壤), was suspended（取消）in 2007 with a worsening mood in inter-Korean relations.
Saturday's family meeting, however, came as a result of an agreement reached last month between the DPRK leader Kim Jong-il and Hyun Jeong-eun, chairwoman of South Korea's Hyundai Group.
The recovery of the family meetings is regarded as conveying the DPRK's reconciliatory(和解) intentions, along with the country's recent moves including lifting a ban(解禁) on cross-border traffic to and from the Kaesong Joint Industrial Park, local media said.
About 600,000 South Koreans are believed to have relatives in the DPRK. Ordinary citizens were not allowed to make phone calls, send letters or exchange e-mails across the border.
小題1:.  Why were there so many families separated according to the passage?
A．Because they were from different countries.
B．Because of the war which broke out in 1950.
C．Because of the ban that ordinary citizens were not allowed to cross the border.
D．Because the different policies between the two countries.
小題2:.. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．It is the first reunion since they were separated.
B．These separated families haven’t seen their relatives for more than 7 years.
C．The first day of the reunion fell on a Saturday.
D．Ordinary citizens are now not allowed to make phone calls, or exchange e-mails across the border.
小題3:.  The underlined word “reunion” can be replaced by _______________.
A．living together again
B．joining together again
C．reaching an agreement again
D．meeting together again
小題4:.  What’s the best title of this news?
A．South Korean, DPRK families meet in reunion event.
B．A Special Family Gathering.
C．The improvement of inter-Korean relations.
D．A Peaceful Meeting.

Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh．The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21st．Hundreds more are missing or feared to be dead．
The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country．The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferries，MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to．About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said．The second ferry carried about 100 passengers．
“The number of deaths is certain to rise．”said an official in charge of the rescue work．“No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived.” Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board．Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes．falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats．Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh，as are boating accidents．Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people．Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions． Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh．It is a country covered by about 230 rivers．Some 20,000 ferries use the nation’s  Waterways every year．And many of them are dangerously overcrowded．Since 1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents．

AIDS’ Threat to Asia Grows
NEW DELHI----Just a few years ago, Mala was a typical middle-class Indian housewife. She cooked, cleaned and looked after her two small children.
Last year, her life took a tragic turn. Her husband died of AIDS; she was found out HIV-positive and her mother-in-law took her children away from her, saying they would get the disease. “When friends dropped for a visit, she would introduce me, saying, ‘She is my son’s widow. She has AIDS,’” said Mala. AIDS is now described as “explosive(炸藥)” around the world. A study of a hospital in the port city of Durban in South Africa, where the world’s biggest and Africa’s second AIDS conference opened last Sunday, found that almost half the beds in medical wards (病房) were occupied by AIDS patients.
South Africa has one of the world’s fastest growing HIV infections, with 1,700 people infected daily, adding to the 4.3 million, or 10 percent of its population, living with HIV. Until now, Asia has been more successful in holding the AIDS virus than Africa, where the disease has killed about 12 million people.
AIDS is now threatening to surround many of Asia’s poverty-stricken countries. Countries in Asia, such as Cambodia, and Thailand, have HIV infection speeds over 1 percent. But the low speeds hide huge numbers of infected people, because of the population base.
In India, for example, 3.7 million are infected, more than in any other country except South Africa. In China, an estimated 860,000 people (the actual number may be a little larger), mainly drug users, live with HIV/AIDS. Gordon Alexander, a senior advisor for UN AIDS in India, estimates that the number hit by AIDS in Asia will climb about eight million over the next five years from about six million.
In many Asian countries, the battle against HIV is a social and cultural one against public discussion of sexual health put a nationwide media campaign into action to limit the speed of HIV through unsafe sex. Brenton Wong, an official for Singapore’s Action for AIDS, says the actual HIV incidence in the city state of 3.9 million people is at least eight times higher than official data. “Shame and deny is still very, very common so people are afraid to get tested and many times won’t even tell their families if they test positive,” said Wong.
小題1:We can conclude from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph that ______.
A．The official data always tell lies and cheat people to hide the truth.
B．3.9 million people in Singapore suffered from AIDS.
C．Singapore has a population of 3.9 million
D．The number of people infected with HIV is at least eight times larger than that of the AIDS patients in Singapore.
小題2:It is judged that there are ______ people hit by AIDS in Asia or so.
A．4.3 millionB．6 millionC．8 millionD．3.7 million
小題3:According to the passage, the main reasons that AIDS spread in Asia is through_______. 
A． bloodB．unsafe sexC．loveD．drugs
小題4:Which of the following statements is not right?     
A．The battle against Aids in many Asian countries is against their culture and
social customs.
B．Though the HIV infection in Asia develops with low speed, the infected number
is still quite large compared to other continents.
C．India has the second largest number of HIV infected people.
D．Aids might affect the poverty-stricken countries more severely.

ScienceDaily (May 28, 2010) --- Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) have made important progress in work that should lead toward robots that can not only walk and run very well, but use little energy at the same time.
Studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work, create prosthetic limbs（假肢）for humans that work much better than in the past, or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get “walking” abilities.
“Researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time,” said Jonathan Hurst, a professor at OSU. “What we’ve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot.”
The movement of humans and other animals is difficult to copy. Using little energy, they can move easily over hard areas, and enjoy balance from muscles（肌肉）. They have different ways to deal with forces, such as holding something hard in place rigidly（牢牢地）, like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride. In their recent studies, the OSU researchers proved that these two abilities are mutually exclusive（相互排斥的）. Humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles. For a robot, the more it’s able to do one of these tasks, the less able it is to do the other.
Presently, robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking. But this way uses a lot of energy. The OSU researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance, but uses far less energy, and is closer to the abilities of animals.
“So there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to build robots with good movement ability,” Hurst said. “Clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous situations. But I could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology. ”
72. 小題1:The robots being studied by researchers at OSU ______.
A．a(chǎn)re successful now
B．use little energy
C．do better than before
D．can run faster than humans
73. 小題2:Which of the following have researchers been studying all the time?
A．The robots’ movement
B．The robots’ weight
C．The robots’ sizes
D．The robots’ walking speed
74. 小題3:The underlined words “two abilities” in Para.4 refer to ______.
A．walking and running
B．walking and holding
C．moving and using little energy
D．moving and balancing
75. 小題4:According to Jonathan Hurst, we know that robots with good movement ability ______.
A．can be used in medical science
B．a(chǎn)re only used in highly dangerous situations
C．will hardly be created in the future
D．will have a bad influence on man
