【改編】Australian scientists say an organic compound used by Indian women to paint dots or bindi on their foreheads could hold the key to a breakthrough in cancer treatment. Rose Bengal (玫瑰紅)was first used in the early 1900s as a dye for food, textiles and cosmetics. But now it is proving to be a useful weapon in the fight against skin cancer.
Television advertisements constantly warn of the dangers of overexposure to the fierce sun. Among them is the possibility of the disease melanoma(黑瘤), a type of skin cancer. More than 1,200 Australians die every year from the disease.
Initial trials of a solution of Rose Bengal injected into some melanoma cells have had a 75 percent success rate in controlling the disease. Professor John Thompson, the director of the Melanoma Unit at the University of Sydney, says this organic dye could become a powerful cancer-fighting treatment.
“We believe it works by getting into the tumor(腫塊) cells and causing them to self-destruct. But the exact mechanism by which it works is not totally clear. It’s not useful for people who have a primary melanoma. The treatment of primary melanoma is surgical excision(切除),”he said. “It’s useful to inject tumors for people who have recurrences; when the primary treatment has failed and when recurrence in the area, or at more distant sites has occurred.”
About 90 percent of Australians who develop melanoma survive thanks to early diagnosis and treatment. If left untreated, however, the disease can be fatal.
Convincing younger people in Australia about the dangers of overexposure to the sun is a battle campaigners are constantly waging.
Veronica Manock, a 21-year-old student, had two major operations to remove a cancerous tumor from her leg.
“I’ve had a lot of friends who just said ‘I thought it was just, you know, I’ll get a mole(痣) cut out and that’s it’, whereas I don’t think people realize how much danger they’re putting themselves into and how easy it is to stop something like this happening to you just from doing little things,”said Marock.
Other researchers in Australia are investigating genetic treatments to skin cancer. There is a pressing need for such research to produce effective treatments. Australians, the majority of whom are fair-skinned(淺膚色的), are four times more likely to develop a melanoma than people in Canada, the United States or Great Britain.
1.Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Rose Bengal —the cause of skin cancer.
B. Rose Bengal —a tool to fight against skin cancer.
C. Skin cancer—the first killer.
D. Melanoma—the threat to health.
2.What does the underlined word “fatal” mean?
A. Curable. B. Serious. C. Deadly. D. Self-healing.
3.From what Veronica Manock said , we can know _______.
A. people haven’t realized overexposure to the sun is dangerous
B. mole on the leg is dangerous.
C. people can do nothing to protect themselves from melanoma
D. nothing can be done to deal with the disease.
4.Who are likely to develop a melanoma?
A. Englishmen. B. Canadians.
C. Americans. D. Australians.
5.In which section of a newspaper does the passage possibly appear?
A. Economy. B. Agriculture. C. Health. D. Fashion.

Like many other parts of our lives today, education has become a global enterprise. In microcosm(微觀世界), my school is proof of just how global. Monkseaton High School is an ordinary state-funded school of 850 students in the unfashionable part of northeastern England. Over the past seven years it has sent 12 students to American universities --- two of them to Harvard. Monkseaton has, in turn, attracted students from other countries, including Germany and Latvia. Monkseaton now almost routinely receives inquiries from students in Eastern European countries. Obviously, learning English is a big draw, but his pattern of student movement was unheard of five years ago.
The brain drain is a universal phenomenon, and countries that don’t face up to the new reality will be losing some of their most precious resources. The northeast of England is its poorest region, and has experienced a severe loss of highly qualified professionals-to-be. Some of the most able 18-year-olds are going to other parts of Britain, even to other countries. What is happening here is happening to Britain as a whole. Most noticeably, there is a growing trend of British students taking degrees in American universities. This year the number will break the psychological barrier of 1,000 students for the first time.
And what is happening at the secondary-school level is happening to higher education. Wherever they come from, today’s students have a very different perspective on education from their parents. Because of television, the Internet and their travels, these students see the world as a much smaller place than their parents once did. They are more confident in accepting the challenge of moving from one country to another, from one culture to another; in many cases they can even apply to schools over the Internet. Students are also more aware of the overall cost of education and are looking for value for money. Plus, for many, education linked to travel is a better option than education at home.
1.Why does the author say education has become a global enterprise?
A. Monkseaton High School used to be a very unfashionable school in the Northeast England.
B. Monkseaton High School is now one of the state-funded middle schools in England.
C. Monkseaton High School has sent two top students to the Harvard University in U.S.
D. There is now an extensive exchange of students among different countries.
2. What can we infer about northeast England from the passage?
A. It is one of the poorest regions in England.
B. It has experienced a severe loss of professionals.
C. It will face a more serious brain drain in the near future.
D. It is losing its young talents to other parts of the world.
3. According to the passage, students today have different perspective from their parents on the following EXCEPT that _________________.
A. education linked to travel is much better than education at home
B. overall cost of education should be considered against money value
C. moving from one culture to another is a welcomed challenge
D. the Internet is more popular and easier to access in the near future
4. The students today tend to see the world as a much smaller place NOT because __________.
A. they are having more exposure to the television programs
B. they are having easier access to the Internet
C. they are having frequent travels to the other parts of the world
D. they are having better communication with their parents
5. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to __________.
A. tell us the benefit of globalization of education
B. analyze the causes for students’ moving trend in Great Britain
C. criticize the universal phenomenon of brain drain worldwide
D. draw attention to students’ moving from one country to another

【原創(chuàng)】On Sunday, Samsung used the 2015 installment of Mobile World Congress to announce the latest models of its Galaxy line of smartphones: the S6 and S6 Edge, aiming to retake its throne.
Both devices take the Galaxy line in a completely new direction. The most apparent change is the noticeable lack of plastic formerly synonymous with Samsung smartphones. With the S6 lineup, Samsung chose to go with a combination of metal and a glass housing.
The S6 Edge features a curved display on both edges of the screen. A fingerprint sensor sits below the home button. The user only needs to place a finger on the button and wait for the scan to complete. The change makes the experience nearly identical to that of Apple’s Touch ID.
Sure to disappoint Samsung loyalists, the South Korean company rejected two features long used to mock(嘲弄)Apple’s AAPL 0.49% iPhone: expandable storage and a replaceable battery. Looking beyond the changes in appearance are a faster processor, higher-quality camera, curved display, and wireless charging capabilities.
The new feature called Samsung Pay is very appealing and will bring users more convenience.
And it has a leg up on Apple Pay, which is limited to working only at retail locations and outlets with the necessary equipment to process NFC payments. With Samsung Pay, users won’t be caught in the middle of a spat between competing payment platforms. So go right ahead.
Another thing: Each year when Samsung would announce the latest Galaxy device, it would announce some software-based features that served little purpose. With this year’s release, Samsung cut the fat. Any unnecessary menus were left out.
For years, Samsung’s flagship phones have been long on features, but short on follow-through. The new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge appear to lay the groundwork for a lineup of devices that are quite the opposite.
1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The competition between Samsung and Apple.
B. The introduction of the latest models of Samsung.
C. The development of Samsung company.
D. The similarity between Apple and Samsung.
2.Which is NOT the new feature of the S6 and S6 Edge?
A. An emergency battery B. A faster processor.
C. Samsung Pay. D. Higher-quality camera.
3.According to the passage, we can know Apple ______.
A. has a replaceable battery
B. has Touch ID
C. uses plastics as material
D. has no payment function
4.In which aspect may Samsung’s latest models disappoint its users?
A. It is more expensive than expected.
B. Mobile payment function is inconvenient.
C. It has more useless software.
D. Its storage can’t be expanded any longer.
5.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Samsung is longer in shape.
B. Samsung is good at creating new models.
C. Samsung has an advantage of function.
D. Samsung is always following trends.

On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. I was feeling a little tired as I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks. They were so heavy that I decided to throw away some things. So I started to walk to the garbage can while I noticed that a poor man was holding a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed over to another nearby garbage can and started looking for something.
I suddenly felt very guilty because I was going to throw away a new drink just because it was heavy. I walked up to him and handed the drink and some snacks over to him. The man looked up in surprise and took what I gave him.
With a big smile on his face he said, “Wow! You are the first person to give me some sandwiches and drink, and some tasty food. This is my son’s lucky day.”
With that, he thanked me happily. There was a warm feeling inside me and I knew I had done something good. I now understand what the real meaning of “Giving is getting” is.

A beer bottle thrown from the stands landed near Usain Bolt in the moments before the 100-meter final Sunday night in London.
As Bolt and seven other competitors ducked into their starting crouches, a bottle sailed from the first row of the stands at Olympic Stadium.
It harmlessly bounced in the lane belonging to Yohan Blake and didn’t appear to cause a distraction(分心) to the runners, who started a moment later. The thrower’s lack of distance was a blessing. Had he gathered tips from the competitors of the hammer throw(鏈球) competition, which was taking place in the infield at the same time as the 100 final, the bottle could have hit one of the competitors. It ended up landing a few feet from Blake (lane5).
Edith Bosch, a female Dutch judoka who won a bronze medal earlier during the Olympics, claimed that the man who threw the bottle was sitting near her and that she “beat” him. Whether that’s true or the hyperbole (夸張的語句) of an aggravated athlete was unclear in the minutes after the incident. Pictures show a group of Dutch athletes sitting behind the starting area.
Police took the man into custody(監(jiān)護(hù)). He will appear in court on Monday morning.
Neither Bolt nor Blake said they knew of the incident until they were informed by reporters. “I don’t know who would have done that,” Bolt said.
Gatlin was aware of it but implied it was only a slight distraction. “I didn’t know what it was,” he said, according to the BBC, “but when you’re in those blocks, the whole stadium is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.”
1.How many exact athletes are mentioned in the text?
A. Two B. Four C. Seven D. Eleven
2.What is the text mainly about?
A. Usain Bolt along with seven other competitors
B. A female Dutch judoka sitting behind the starting area.
C. The lane belonging to Yohan Blake before 100 final.
D. A beer bottle thrown at Usain Bolt before 100 final.
3.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the athletes for the 100-meter final?
A. Critical B. Doubtful
C. Disapproving D. Positive

Shirley Temple Black, who lifted America’s spirit as a bright-eyed child movie star during the Great Depression, peacefully passed away at her California home on Monday evening at 85, surrounded by her family and caregivers.
Temple, born on April 23, 1928, started her entertainment career in the early 1930s and was famous by age 6. Temple was 3 when her mother put her in dance school, where a talent scout spotted her and got her in Baby Burlesks, a series of short movies with child actors playing in adult movies.
Movie studio directors took notice of her and in 1934 she appeared in the film Stand Up and Cheer! and her song and dance caught people’s attention. Movies such as Little Miss Marker and Bright Eyes featured her signature song. In 1935, she received a special Oscar for her “outstanding contribution to screen entertainment” in the movie Stand Up and Cheer!
She made some 40 feature movies, including The Little Colonel, Poor Little Rich Girl, Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, in 10 years, starring with big-name actors like Randolph Scott, Lionel Barrymore and Jimmy Durante. Temple was a superstar before the term was invented. She said she was about 8 when crowds shouting their love for her made her realize she was famous. “I wondered why,” she recalled. “I asked my mother and she said, ‘Because your films make them happy.’ ”
Her child career came to an end at 12. She tried a few roles as a teenager—including opposite future president Ronald Reagan in That Hagen Girl – but retired from the screen in 1949 at 21.
Temple was only 17 when she married for the first time to John Agar, who would eventually appear with her in two movies. Their five-year marriage produced a daughter. In 1950 she wed Charles Black in a marriage that lasted until his death in 2005. She and Black had two children. Temple’s interest in politics was sparked in the early 1950s when her husband was called back into the Navy to work in Washington.
1.For which movie did Shirley Temple win the Oscar?
A. That Hagen Girl
B. Little Miss Marker
C. Stand Up and Cheer
D. The Little Colonel
2.When Temple first caught the audience’s eyes, ____.
A. she hoped to play a role in a series of movies
B. her family was offered
C. her mother sent her to a local dance school
D. the United States was in fact in financial straits
3.After Temple got married to Charles Black, ____.
A. she might have begun her political life
B. she had to raise her two young children
C. she decided to work for the Navy
D. she ended her film career on screen
4.It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ___.
A. people could find happiness in Temple’s films
B. Temple’s mother only focused on income
C. Temple disliked crowds shouting at her
D. Temple’s mother was worried about her

We know that the earth has become warmer over the last century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a group established by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program, reports that the average surface temperature of the earth has increased during the twentieth century by 0.6°+ 0.2°C.(The + 0.2°C means that the increase might be as small as 0.4°C or as great as 0.8°C). This may seem like a small shift, but although regional and short—term temperatures do fluctuate(變動(dòng)) over a wide range, global temperatures are generally quite stable. In fact, the difference between today’s average global temperature and the average global temperature during the last Ice Age is only about 5 degrees C. Indeed, it’s warmer today around the world than at any time during the past 1,000years, and the warmest years of the previous century have occurred within the past decade.
We also know that human activities—primarily the burning of fossil fuels—have increased the greenhouse gas content of the earth’s atmosphere significantly over the same period. Carbon dioxide is one of the most important greenhouse gases, which trap heat near the planet’s surface.
The vast majority of climate researchers agree with these overall findings. The scientific disagreements that do still exist primarily concern detailed aspects of the processes that make up these largely accepted general themes.
You can think of this website as a window into the world of scientific research. In this primer, you’ll find a general discussion of the physical processes underlying the earth’s climate, an outline of the kinds of data that may shed light on how the climate is changing—and the role of human activity in these changes—and a description a some of the questions and uncertainties that researchers continue to explore. This primer is organized into four interconnected sections: the Atmosphere; the Hydrosphere(水圈); the Cryosphere(低溫層); and the Biosphere(生物層).
1.We know from the text that “IPCC”___.
A. engages in the climate and changes about the earth.
B. is a group by scientists who like to walk around the moon
C. works in the World Meteorological Organization
D. often greets the passers-by from the outer space
2.We know from the text that carbon dioxide ___.
A. is one of the most important greenhouse gases
B. has fossil fuels
C. traps cold near the planet’s surface
D. exist in human activities
3.From the text, we know when we say the temperature of something has increased by about 0.7+ 0.2°C, the + 0.2°C means___.
A. the increase might by as small as 0.3°C or as great as 0.7°C
B. the increase might by as small as 0.5°C or as great as 0.8°C
C. the increase might by as small as 0.5°C or as great as 0.9°C
D. the increase might by as small as 0.4 C or as great as 0.8°C
4.What would be the best title for this text?
A. What Are the Scientific Disagreements
B. You Can Think of This Website
C. What Do We Know about Global Climate Change?
D. The Vast Majority of Climate Researchers
