Taiwan will finalize a plan by the end of June to open up the island to tourists from mainland China, though no date has been fixed for formal implementation（執(zhí)行）, an official at the Mainland Affairs Council（MAC）said on Monday．
The official said the reports in the local press on Monday that the MAC has decided to postpone its plan to announce the implementation of the new plan on July 1 were inaccurate．
The official said cooperation between different organizations was still underway．The United Daily news quoted the director of the MAC’s legal affairs department, Liu Thehsun, as saying the plan to open up to mainland tourists would not be implemented as scheduled due to a lack of cross-strait communication．
Although relevant authorities, including the Bureau of Immigration and the Tourism Bureau, have complete reports on how to deal with visitors from mainland China, the decision has been taken not to press, ahead with announcement of the plan’s implementation on the first of July, Liu was quoted as saying．
The report also said that while no restrictions would be imposed on the mainland visitors in terms of age or residence in China, the visitors would need to hold a steady job or have more than 50,000RMB（about 6,000, U．S．dollars）in bank savings before they would be eligible（有資格的）to visit Taiwan．
In addition, Taiwan bound mainland tourists would have to come as part of a tour group and would be allowed to stay a maximum of 10 days each time．
The number of mainland tourists allowed to enter the island would also initially be limited to 1,000 people a day．
Although most people from Taiwan are free to travel to China, only a small number of mainland Chinese have been able to visit the island due to restrictions imposed by both sides of the Taiwan Strait after the end of a civil war in 1949．
小題1:At the moment, according to the passage,      ___________．
A．no mainland Chinese can visit Taiwan now
B．a(chǎn)ny mainland Chinese can visit Taiwan now
C．many mainland Chinese have ever visited Taiwan since 1949
D．a(chǎn) few mainland Chinese have ever visited Taiwan since 1949
小題2:When Taiwan opens up the island to tourists from mainland China,_____________．
A．there will be no restrictions to mainland visitors
B．mainland visitors who want to travel in Taiwan must have at least ￥50,000 in the bank savings account
C．there will be no age restrictions to the mainland visitors
D．mainland visitors will be free to travel to Taiwan
小題3:We can infer from the passage that ______get（s）involved in the implementation of the plan．
A．MACB．United Daily
C．several organizationsD．Bureau of Immigration
小題4:Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A．The implementation of the plan has not been fixed．
B．It was originally fixed on July 1 to announce the plan’s implementation．
C．For lack of cross-strait communication, the plan will not be officially completed until July．

Standardized exam in American public education are being reformed. Over the next four years, hundreds of university professors and testing experts will work together to design new assessment system.
The new tests will be computer-based and will measure higher-order skills ignored by the multiple-choice exams used in all states，including students’ ability to read complex texts, synthesize(合成)information and do research projects．
Because the new tests will be computerized and will be administered several times throughout the school year, they can provide faster feedback(反饋)to teachers．If these plans work out, It’ll turn the current testing system upside down．
One group，led by Florida，will be made up of 25 states and the District of Columbia．The group was awarded $170 million．The other group, whose membership over-laps the first，has31 states and is led by Washington．The group was given $160 million．Twelve of the 44 states are
participating in both groups but are expected eventually to choose one set of tests．
The two groups are supposed to work in a friendly competition，though their plans are very similar．Both groups will produce tests that rely heavily on technology and both groups’ tests will include so-called performance-based tasks，designed to mirror complex，real-world situations．
In performance-based tasks，students are given a problem－they could be told, for example, to suppose they are a mayor who needs to reduce a city’s pollution—and must write about how they would solve the problem．
The new tests could be useful to teachers by giving them information on what their students are learning, but it might also require some mid-course adjustments.
Over the past decade, the federal No Child Left Behind law has emphasized helping low-achieving students improve their basic reading and math by encouraging states to produce tests that measure relatively low-1evel skills. Although the Bush-era law is still on the books, two
years of Obama administration policy have been leading schools in new directions．   
小題1:. . What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Obama’s education policy takes the lead.
B．A computer-based testing system is adopted.
C．American education system has been changed.
D．Experts are reinventing the student testing system.
小題2:.  Why are multiple-choice exams to be given up?
A．Because they are not computer-based.
B．Because they can’t test students’ higher-order skills.
C．Because they can’t provide proper feedback for teachers.
D．Because they can’t test students’ general reading ability.
小題3:.  The underlined part in Para. 4 probably means________.
A．the two groups have some shared members
B．the other group is more demanding than the first
C．the groups have different tasks of their own
D．the other group does better than the first group in the task
小題4:.  According to the passage, performance-based tasks may refer to tasks that______.
A．a(chǎn)re related to real-world problems
B．have to be performed in an imaginary world
C．teach us theories through complex problems
D．can only be completed by relying heavily on technology
小題5:. . From the last paragraph, we can infer that_________.
A．the No child Left Behind policy is not helpful
B．the Obama administration’s policy is highly praised
C．the two policies both emphasize math and reading abilities
D．the two policies both emphasize the development of practical skills

Islamabad, Pakistan, June 22nd---Two mountain climbers surprisingly survived (幸免于) a fall of over 500 feet on the 25,530-foot mountain in Pakistan, Saturday. The two climbers were climbing an ice-covered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snow-covered ledge(懸崖突出部分) below. “We were lucky that ledge was there,” said the climbers, “Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2,000 feet.” If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers almost certainly have met their death. “It’s a wonder,” the climbers said, “that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion(緩沖) our fall. We’re thankful that we survived.”
When a reporter asked them if they planned to give up mountain climbing after their narrow escape(九死一生), the two climbers replied, “Not at all. We’ll be going back up there just as soon as we get out of the hospital.”

Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan(菅直人）has also passed a $ 63 billion stimulus(剌激）package in an effort to protect exporters who have seen the poor exchange rate eat into their prof-its. At the close of markets in Tokyo，the yen was trading at 81.44 yen to the dollar, just off thehigh of 81.27 yen.

請閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項的標(biāo)號涂黑。
It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers （生產(chǎn)商）follow certain uniform standards for various features（特征）of clothes. What seems strange , however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left. Considering most of the word’s population-men and women-are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?
History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the
17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hang, having men’s shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard , once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.
小題1:What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?
A．It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.
B．It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.
C．It woks better with men than with women.
D．It fails to consider right-handed people.
小題2: What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?
A．They tended to wear clothes without buttons.
B．They were interested in the historical matters.
C．They were mostly dressed by servants.
D．They drew their swords from the left.
小題3:Women’s clothes still button from the left today because        .
A．a(chǎn)dopting men’s style is improper for women
B．manufacturers should follow standards
C．modern women dress themselves
D．customs are hard to change

American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education employment and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial(種族) conflict and poverty. American cities are changing just as American society is changing.   　　
After World War II city residents became wealthier. They had more children. They needed more space. They move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs.
　　Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They unlike their parents want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers and executives(主管人員) are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.
This population shift(轉(zhuǎn)變) is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is for sure：many dying cities are alive again.
小題1:What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A．They are alive.B．They are hopeless.
C．They are similarD．They are different.
小題2:Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War II?
A．Because older American cities were dying.
B．Because they were richer and needed more space.
C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
小題3:According to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities ___________. 
A．a(chǎn)re faced with housing problems
B．a(chǎn)re faced to move to the suburbs
C．want to sell their buildings
D．need more money for daily expenses
小題4:We can conclude from the text that ____________.
A．American cities are changing for the worse
B．people have different views on American cities
C．many people are now moving from American cities
D．the population is decreasing in older American cities
