Like many other nations, China has been busy putting together evacuation （撤僑）plans for its citizens stuck in crisis-torn Libya．The real surprise has been just how many Chinese are living there．The foreign ministry does not know for sure but puts the figure at 30-40,000．
The huge contingent （代表團(tuán)） in Libya, who work for at least 27 Chinese companies, has brought to light one of the new dilemmas facing China as its economic interests expand．For a mixture of reasons that are partly political, partly business, Chinese workers are now present in many of the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world, including places where anti-Chinese sentiment over jobs and working conditions is on the rise．One of the first wake-up calls was in 2007, when a group of Chinese women were kidnapped in Pakistan, an event which led to the siege of the Red Mosque in Lahore．In the same year, nine Chinese oil workers were killed in Ethiopia．In recent years, Chinese workers have been kidnapped in Cameroon, Congo and Afghanistan．
Publicly, Chinese diplomats admit that the country needs better contingency plans to deal with this sort of situation．Privately, they worry about a different issue: that such incidents will force them to get much more involved in domestic political disputes in far-off lands, pulling the government away from its commitment to a policy of non-interference．The nightmare, a few diplomats and academics admit, would be a large, violent attack on a group of Chinese which then prompted an intense nationalist reaction at home, forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist （干涉主義的） actions it tries to shun．
Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate（護(hù)衛(wèi)艦） Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya．Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy．As Andrew Erickson, a China expert at the US Naval War College says: “This latest initiative（方案） is part of a larger ongoing increase in Chinese power, presence, and influence around the world, and should come as no surprise．China has global interests, cannot free ride forever, and requires a presence in critical areas and situations in order to have a voice．”
小題1:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．There are many Chinese workers in the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world．
B．China should protect workers in the foreign countries．
C．China are taking actions to bring its citizens back from Libya．
D．The international situation is terrible
小題2:The underlined word “shun” in the third paragraph most probably means?
A．take part inB．a(chǎn)voidC．carry outD．refuse
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．It remains unknown how many Chinese are living in Libya．
B．A large number workers are working abroad, which bring about advantages and disadvantages．
C．In no case will the Chinese government take part in solving the political problems in far-off lands．
D．Our government take immediate action to deal with this sort of situation．
小題4:What’s Not true about the frigate Xuzhou?
A．It is conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia．
B．It will help the evacuation effort．
C．It is a warning to Libya who might attack Chinese interests．
D．It indicates that China’s navy can reach an increasing number of parts of the global．

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:C
小題4:C

試題分析：本文主要是關(guān)于中國從利比亞撤僑的描寫以及其它的相關(guān)信息、
小題1:C 主旨大意題。從文章的主題段第一段Like many other nations, China has been busy putting together evacuation （撤僑）plans for its citizens stuck in crisis-torn Libya．可知本文主要是關(guān)于中國從利比亞撤僑的描寫以及其它的相關(guān)信息，故C正確。
小題2:B 推理題。根據(jù)本句forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist （干涉主義的） actions it tries to shun．說明現(xiàn)在的情況讓中國政府采取了他努力避免采取的干涉主義政策，中國政府要求是不干涉別國的政策的，故該詞是指避免，B正確。
小題3:C 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段前三行Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate（護(hù)衛(wèi)艦） Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya．說明中國政府已經(jīng)參加了打擊索馬里海盜的斗爭，故C項(xiàng)中說中國絕不會(huì)參加，這樣的說法是錯(cuò)誤的。
小題4:C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段3,4,5行Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy．說明徐州艦的史命是打擊索馬里海盜并警告那些可能影響中國利益的利比亞人。而不是C項(xiàng)中的所有利比亞人。C項(xiàng)少了限制語。故C項(xiàng)說法錯(cuò)誤。

If there's a child in your house who likes pixies（精靈）, nature, or magic, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is sure to be a hit． This beautifully animated film is a first class production in every way, and features the familiar voices of Kristin Chenoweth, Anjelica Huston, Jane Horrocks, Lucy Liu, and Raven Symone．The movie offers up an adventure that's easy enough to follow, but complex enough to hold one's
attention, and even throws in a nice little moral about friendship．What can I say? I'm pleasantly surprised．
The promising Mae Whitman voices Tinker Bell herself, a far more dynamic character than we met in Peter Pan．Though Tinker still possesses her fiery temper,  it doesn't manifest itself immediately,  and takes a backseat to this pixie's many good qualities． As it turns out, Tinker Bell is extremely skilled at tinkering （修補(bǔ) ）, so she is a natural choice to build a special scepter（拐杖）,for Pixie Hollow's Autumn Celebration．The scepter will hold the moonstone through which the light of the Blue Moon will pass,  supplying Pixie Hollow with enough pixie dust for the year ahead．
For days, Tinkers works hard on the perfect scepter design while her good friend Terrence does his best to assist． When Terrence accidentally breaks the Moon Stone, Tinker Bell "explodes and sends him away．One of Tinker's more literal friends finds this extremely concerning, as she doesn't' quite understand
that the outburst was emotional rather than physical - very funny indeed．
After hearing the legend of the lost treasure, Tinker Bell strikes out on her own to find a new Moon Stone．She faces many difficulties and meets new friends along the way, but when Terrence comes to the rescue at Tinker's darkest hour, she realizes the value of a truly loyal friend． Though the film offers a positive message to young viewers, it's the animation that makes Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure stand out．Pixie Hollow is a charming, visually stunning world basked in lush colors．It's so lovely, so detailed, so

London taxis, with their friendly drivers who actually know where they are going, are ranked best in the world, according to an annual taxi survey.
The survey by travel website hotels.com found London taxis, despite being the most expensive, beat rivals（對手）across the globe to head the list for the third consecutive（連續(xù)的）years, scoring a total of 59 percent in votes on several categories by travelers.
London taxi drivers were voted both friendliest and most knowledgeable. Drivers in the English capital must pass a rigorous examination called The Knowledge to earn their taxi license.

London, Reuters--What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with friends and go home？
No, it's not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.
It's high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (裝置) called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.
The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body's natural ability to detect some wave bands decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install (安裝) it at trouble spots.
Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area, said," It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem, they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away."
小題1:The device can be used to _______.
A．threaten teenagers in public
B．drive away trouble-makers under 20
C．help mothers control their teenage children
D．help the police control shopkeepers
小題2:From the passage we can know that _______.
A．young people often suffer from pains in ears
B．shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects
C．high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people over 20
D．the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers
小題3:The purpose of the writer to write the passage is ______.
A．to advertise a new hi-tech device
B．to tell the reader a piece of news
C．to sell the device to shopkeepers
D．to inform the public as the spokesman of the police
小題4:Who will welcome the device most?
A．Shopkeepers.B．The police.C．Young people.D．The producer.

The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years. The Maya were so bright that they achieved a lot. They had farms, temples and cities with many buildings. They knew much about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time.
In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of crops around it. The Maya planted seeds after they cleared the land. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were builders or priests (祭司).
The Maya believed in many gods. They built large temples to honor them. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult because they had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.
Although the Maya worked hard to build the beautiful cities, very few of them lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.
Measuring time correctly was important to the Maya, so Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time. They wrote numbers as dots ( … ) and bars ( — ). They also made a calendar (日歷). The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over.
Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from a deadly disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. The lost secrets of the Maya are still beyond the reach of modern people. They are still one of our greatest mysteries (神秘).
小題1:The Maya lived better than most people of their times because _____.
A．they had skillful workers
B．they believed in many gods
C．they knew better about nature
D．they could measure time correctly
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A．the calendar was first invented by the ancient Maya
B．the ancient Mayan cities and temples were well built
C．the ancient Mayan people led a happy life in the cities
D．the priests were not highly respected by the ancient Maya
小題3:The underlined word “they” in the passage refers to _____.
A．the Mayan peopleB．the Mayan villages
C．the Mayan citiesD．the lost secrets of the Maya

Recently, some concerns have been raised about the health of the world's banana plants. Many media reports have said that bananas may completely disappear in the coming ten years.
Bananas are one of the world's most important food crops. They are also the fourth most valuable export. Bananas do not grow from seeds. Instead, they grow from existing plants. Bananas are threatened by disease because all the plants on a farm are copies of each other. They all share the same genetic weaknesses.
For example, the Cavendish banana is most popular in American markets. It is an important export crop. However, some kinds of fungus (真菌) organisms easily infect the Cavendish. Black Sigatoka disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants. The disease is controlled on large farms by putting chemicals on the plant's leaves. Farmers put anti-fungal chemicals on their crops up to once a week.
Another fungal disease is more serious. Panama disease attacks the roots of the banana plant. There is no chemical treatment for this disease. Infected plants must be destroyed. Panama disease has affected crops in Southeast Asia, Australia and South Africa. There is concern that it may spread to bananas grown in the Americas. This could threaten an important export product for Central and South America.
The International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain, whose headquarter lies in France, supports research on bananas. The group says that more research must be done to develop improved kinds of bananas.
The group says that fungal diseases mainly affect only one kind of banana. In fact, there are five-hundred different kinds of bananas. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says the Cavendish banana represents only ten percent of world production.
The UN agency says farmers should grow different kinds of bananas. This protects against diseases that affect only one kind. Experts warn that disease may cause the Cavendish banana to disappear. This has already happened to one popular banana because of its genetic weakness against disease. (words: 335)
小題1:What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Bananas are the world’s most important food crops.
B．There are five hundred different kinds of bananas.
C．The risk to a popular banana shows need to grow other kinds.
D．How to grow bananas in different countries.
小題2:Bananas are threatened by diseases because ___­­­­­­_______.
A．they have genetic weaknesses against disease.
B．they are one of the most valuable exports.
C．the only way to prevent it is to put chemicals on their leaves.
D．they grow from the seed
小題3:Panama disease__________.
A．doesn’t belong to fungal disease.
B．has spread to bananas in the world.
C．a(chǎn)ffects the leaves of banana plants.
D．destroys the bananas more seriously than Black Sigatoka disease.
小題4:We can infer from Paragraph 6 that ____________.
A．the center of the group is in the US.
B．the key to solving the disease is to research all kinds of bananas.
C．the Cavendish banana covers only a small part of the output of bananas.
D．each fungal disease affects five hundred different kinds of bananas.
小題5:According to the passage, which information is right?
A．The Cavendish banana can be mainly imported from North America and Europe.
B．Fungal diseases mainly affect the Cavendish banana.
C．The Cavendish banana won’t die out in the future.

Thanksgiving is an important festival in North America. We interviewed several students from the US and Canada. Here is what they have told us about their Thanksgiving experiences.
Josie from New York, USA
“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November. It is to remember the first group of people from Europe to live in America. When they first arrived, they found the environment strange. But they learned to survive after some native American friends showed them how to grow and find food. Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”
Todd from California, USA
“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shopping. That means we have four weeks to buy Christmas presents for our families and friends. For me and my friends, the most important part of the festival is the big football game on TV. The match is watched by millions of people all over America. Thanksgiving is seen as an exciting day for football!”
