Among the _3_ majors, Law graduates had the most difficulty finding jobs, with the _4_ unemployment rate of 17.7% of all the majors in 2009. English majors had the highest _5_ of the unemployed for three years, with 15,700 graduates still out of work. “Such majors as Computer, English and Law were the most _6_ ones for Beijing students entering universities in 2005, but now these graduates are in a tight corner,” said Ba ran, a senior occupation counselor at a well-known company.

The people who work at the studio teach customers how to build their own bikes from bamboo. “ Our goal is to create the opportunities for people to get the perfect bike, the one they build themselves, “ says Marty Odlin, one of the studios owners, “Bamboo is very user-friendly. Theres no way a non-expert could build a steel bike in a weekend. But with bamboo, its possible.The Bamboo Bike Studio is also helping set up factories in Ghana, a country in West Africa. The factories will produce inexpensive bamboo bikes on a large scale. If this project is successful, it might mean new jobs and inexpensive transportation for the people of that country. Bamboo bikes are a natural fit in Ghana because bamboo grows abundantly throughout the country. It is a grass, not a tree, and it is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. It can grow up to 40 inches in a single day. Bamboo has qualities that make it as good as steel for building a durable(耐用的), comfortable vehicle. It contains a large amount of SiO2, a hard compound (化合物) that is the most abundant building block of rocks on Earth. A bamboo bike, says Odlin, is “the perfect everyday bike.”In Ghana, bikes are in high demand. Few people have enough money to afford a car. So bikes are used to transport most of the countrys food and material goods.The people of Ghana are also too poor to finance the construction of factories that build traditional steel bikes. But mass-producing bicycles from locally grown bamboo is a workable alternative, says Odlin. He plans to show teams of Ghanian workers how to quickly assemble bamboo bikes. He estimates each worker will be able to produce about four bikes a day.26. What is the aim of the Bamboo Bike Studio? A. Protecting the environment. B. Helping developing countries. C. Reducing the pressure of traffic. D. Helping people to get perfect bikes.27. Which of the following words best describes the work of the Bamboo Bike Studio in Ghana? A. ExperimentalB. DangerousC. SuccessfulD. Difficult28. Bamboo is suitable for building bikes mainly because_. A. it is a grassB. it grows fast C. it is strongD. it is user-friendly29. The underlined word “assemble” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “_”. A. rideB. buildC. buyD. choose30. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Life without steelB. Bamboo Bike Studio C. New uses of bambooD. A natural fitB The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth. When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where its not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “Whats up?” I asked him. “I I dont have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said“Thank you very much!” When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if hes a swindler? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didnt know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask. Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face. “Oh, gosh! Long time.” “Are you in school now?” I asked. He nodded. “Thats good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “Whats wrong?” I asked. “Its a gift.” He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “Ive been waiting to give these to you.”31. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.A. the boy was greedyB. the boy had suffered a lotC. the boy was in bad need of money D. the boy was good at bargaining 32. The second time the author met the boy, the boy _.A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts B. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooks D. tried to take advantage of him33. The author gave his money to the boy because _.A. he wanted to make himself feel betterB. he had learnt to help others since childhoodC. he held a higher position in the societyD. his parents asked him to do so 34. What does the underlined word “swindler” mean? A. troublemaker B. beggar C. thief D. cheat 35. Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful D. Shy and nervous.CWhen you get in your car, you reach for it. When youre at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it. Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, its the third most addictive thing in modem life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships. The costs are becoming more and more evident, and I dont mean just the monthly bill. Dr. Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality. Sounds extreme, but we ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell - phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e - mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we dont have as many friends as our parents. Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends, he says. If the cell phone has truly had these effects, its because it has become very widespread. Consider that in 1987, there were only l million cell phones in use. Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them. They far outnumber wired phones in the United States. 36. From the first two paragraphs, we can know_. A. cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettesB. cell phone addiction is good for building personal relationshipsC. people are longing to have their own cell phonesD. cell phones are the same as cigarettes37. Cell phone addiction has caused the following effects EXCEPT_ .A. a barrier to personal contact B. fewer friendsC. an escape from reality D. a serious illness38. The underlined word curb in Paragraph 2 means “_. ”A. ignore B. control C. develop D. rescue39. The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that_ .A. women Use cell phones more often than menB. talking on the phone while driving is dangerousC. cell phones do not necessarily bring people togetherD. cell phones make one - on - one personal contact easy40. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Cell phones Are the New CigarettesB. Cell phones Are Harmful to the SocietyC. The New Report about the Cell phoneD. The Disadvantages of the Cell phoneDIts easy to be a bit jealous of Sean Andersons adventures even if he is a fictional character in a movie.We first saw Anderson explore the depths of our planet in the 2008 hit movie Journey to the Center of the Earth. The 17-year-old returned in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island on February 10. The film is based on French writer Jules Vernes fantasy novel，The Mysterious Island，but it also uses elements from Treasure Island，Gullivers Travels and 20，000 Leagues Under the Sea.It begins when Sean receives a distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist. Seans stepfather，Hank，is unable to stop his stepson from setting out on a voyage to discover the island，and so joins him instead. Together with Gabato，the only helicopter pilot willing to risk the trip，and Gabatos beautiful，strong-willed daughter Kailani，they set out to find the island，rescue its lone human inhabitant and escape before a huge earthquake forces the island underwater and buries its treasures forever.The movie was filmed on the Hawaiian island of Oahu，also the location of the hit TV drama Lost. The islands jungles and beautiful mountains grow up out of the screen thanks to the movies 3D technology.The island setting is key to many works about mystery and adventure，such as Utopia，Robinson Crusoe，Lord of the Flies，and Shakespeares play about a magical island，The Tempest. Guardian writer David Cox believes that islands enjoy a special place in the human imagination. Unlike deserts or forests，islands have boundaries. “This makes them theaters in which alternative worlds，paradises or hells，can readily take the stage，” Cox writes. According to Cox，islands may seem different，but “they have the same obvious but distinct features of isolation”.Life forms evolve on islands and may adapt to their islands specific conditions. In Journey 2，the hero rides a giant bee. However，according to Cox，human character is also forced to evolve in many stories about islands. Cox argues that islands provide distance from familiar ways of thinking and invite or require us to rethink who we are and how we behave. They enable us “to know ourselves as distinct from those around us，and，in so doing，forge a more close relationship with the world”，Cox writes.41.
