Medicine comes in lots of different packages. Painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away. Antibiotic cream (抗菌素膏) from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?
A team of scientists from Scotland say “yes”. They’ve engineered special chickens that lay eggs with disease-treating drugs inside. 
These eggs come from chickens that have been engineered to produce certain drugs inside their egg whites.
These drugs are made of molecules called proteins(蛋白質(zhì)). Animals make thousands of proteins — they’re the main element in skin, hair, milk and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good candidates (候選者) for making protein drugs.
Researchers have already made cows, sheep and goats produce protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are cheaper to take care of, need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories, says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA — the code that tells cells how to make proteins — so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs. One drug can treat skin cancer, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis (多發(fā)性硬化).
The scientists changed the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites. This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.
【小題1】If you cut your finger, you may use ________ to cure it.

A．painkillers in a tabletB．a(chǎn)ntibiotic cream from a tube
C．chicken eggs D．protein drugs
【小題2】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Scientists from Scotland have succeeded in packing medicine into chicken eggs.
B．The drugs are made of molecules called proteins.
C．Scientists chose chickens for their experiments because chicken eggs taste delicious.
D．The animals are good candidates for making protein drugs.
【小題3】The drugs in special chicken eggs can ________.
A．treat lung cancer B．help reduce headache
C．change people’s DNA D．treat multiple sclerosis
【小題4】We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．eating eggs is the best choice for the patients now
B．scientists changed the chicken’s DNA and put all the drugs in chicken eggs
C．we may eat special eggs as drugs when we are sick in the future
D．the drugs produce harmful effects on the chicken’s bodies
【小題5】The best title for the passage is ________.
A．Chicken Eggs to Replace MedicineB．Chicken Eggs as Drug
C．Chicken Eggs and MedicineD．Chicken Eggs and Animal Milk

Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.
The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.
The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name.
In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪惡的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,
“Turn and peep, there’s blood in the shoe;
the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.” ZXXK
Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.
【小題1】What dose the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?

A．Such wonderful things.
B．Other well-loved characters.
C．Old fables.
D．Cartoon movies.
【小題2】How did Cinderella get her name?
A．The Birds came up with it.
B．It was given by Disney.
C．It came from the word “ash”.
D．She got it from her mother.
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?
A．Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.
B．The ball was held to celebrate the prince’s wedding.
C．Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.
D．The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.
【小題4】The moral of the original story is that ____________.
A．a(chǎn) wicked person cannot escape punishment.
B．a(chǎn) devoted person certainly deserves respect.
C．a(chǎn) well-behaved child earns a great reward.
D．a(chǎn) dishonest child cannot get mother love.
【小題5】What does the author think of the Disney version?
A．Excellent.B．OrdinaryC．Dull.D．Ridiculous.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated(復(fù)雜), it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps（軍營）in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages.

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home’, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education.” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution. They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (貸款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition（學(xué)費(fèi)）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
【小題1】How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?

A．They asked their kids to come home.
B．They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D．They got help from the school and the federal government.
【小題2】Financial aid administrators believe that          .
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobs
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint
C．college tuition fees will double soon
D．America’s unemployment will fall
【小題3】What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C．They will try their best to send kids to college.
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.
【小題4】According to the last paragraph, the government will           .
A．provide most students scholarships
B．dismiss some financial aid administrators
C．stop the companies from making student loans
D．go on providing financial support for college students

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．
Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少數(shù)民族的成員） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．
You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．
【小題1】The writer himself felt surprised at ______．

A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see” 
B．“Long time no see” used as standard American English 
C．so many literal translation of the expressions used in America 
D．finding out Americans use the expression every day 
【小題2】The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．
A．mixture literature B．Confucius’ words 
C．a(chǎn) kind of cooked dish D．American changing cultures 
【小題3】According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．
A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see” 
B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular 
C．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages 
D．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew 
【小題4】The main idea of the passage is that ______．
A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into English 
B．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America 
C．some American expressions can be used in China 
D．American English keep being enriched from different cultures 
【小題5】According to the passage，which of the following statements is not true?
A．Informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure． 
B．Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure． 
C．“Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage． 
D．There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew．

NO matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you’ll see Lonely Planet guidebooks in the hands of travelers.

Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. This year marks the company’s 40th anniversary. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts, all dedicated to travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They save you time and keep you from missing the very best things in a place. And of course, their reviews of hostels, hotels and restaurants, in addition to ticket information about your destination, are useful.
This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map, directing the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自發(fā)性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also lament(哀嘆)that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same things and having the same experiences as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same trail.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have an overly(過度的)large influence on local communities. For example, some locals dedicate their lives solely(僅僅)to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They fake a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses just to attract tourists’ dollars.
【小題1】The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that　　　.

A．it can help you to save time and money when traveling
B．you will not miss the best things without having to make choices
C．it provides a lot of useful information about your destination
D．you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city
【小題2】Who will find a Lonely Planet guidebook very useful?
A．Someone who always takes a taxi when traveling.
B．A tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.
C．A person who’s nervous touring an unfamiliar place.
D．A native traveler who is traveling alone.
【小題3】People criticize the guidebook because　　　.
A．the guidebook is not as useful as most travelers expect
B．travelers using it will be bored with meeting the same people on their journey
C．travelers using it may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures
D．local people keep their old lifestyle under the guidebook’s influence
【小題4】What does the underlined word“fake”in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．mistake　　 B．learn　　 C．pretend　　 D．create
