Nuclear­powered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.
The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear­powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)­powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (軍事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance (聯(lián)盟)military moves.
It will be the first time that a nuclear­powered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War Ⅱ at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear­powered weapons are based.
“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage，” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.
The 44­year­old Kitty Hawk, the US Navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned(廢棄核武器) in 2008. The new carrier will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern technology.
Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US­Japan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don't believe that the two countries are threats to the region.
“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.
小題1:With such a powerful weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens ________.
A．a(chǎn)re aware of its benefits to the country
B．a(chǎn)re anxious about its potential danger
C．a(chǎn)re curious about the advanced technology
D．a(chǎn)re against where the carrier will be based
小題2:The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to________.
A．set up a kind of base in Japan
B．strengthen the US­Japan military alliance
C．show Japan's greater military capability
D．get rid of the dated marine weapon
小題3:From the story, we learn that________.
A．no other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriers
B．Japan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weapons
C．Japan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrier
D．Japan will be the third country to produce a nuclear­powered aircraft carrier
小題4:By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that________.
A．he is quite confident of their military defense
B．he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrier
C．what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrier
D．it is unnecessary to guard against the two countries

Two weeks after the opening ceremony, the Games are over. The last of the three hundred gold medals has been awarded and the flags of the winners have been raised for the last time.
The final event is the closing ceremony. This occasion is always sad and happy at the same time. It is a sad occasion because the tremendous excitement is over, and it will not happen again for four years. Those who have made friends will have to say goodbye, perhaps for ever.

Most schools are named after famous people. Other schools are named after the streets on which they are located. Some school names are most unusual. How they were chosen is anyone’s guess.

Most of the time, we choose colors for decorating based on our personal taste and our sense of aesthetics (審美學(xué)). But, a number of color experts believe that colors have an effect on our emotions and that it would be wise of us to be conscious of that before settling on a definite choice.
Some of the effects of colors are well known and accepted by most people. In fact, those effects have been the subject of serious research and experiments and have been scientifically proven. But not all scientists agree on the validity (正確性) of the results.
When we become interested in the psychological effects of colors, it is important to know that not all societies share our opinion of those effects on our emotions. What we hold as an "objective" observation on a color is often nothing more than a reflection of our cultural belongingness, which has attributed properties to that color for generations.
Why is it not possible for us to hold a really objective discourse(論述)on the subject? In part, because it is very difficult to separate the psychological from the symbolic, the symbolic aspects are definitely cultural. Often, and this without our realizing it, they influence our understanding of colors and the following emotions - both psychological aspects. Black and white are good examples. In western countries, black is considered serious, dramatic and sometimes sad. People are warned against its potentially depressing effects on decoration. Black is the traditional color of mourning. White, on the other hand, is associated with purity, peace and optimism. For those reasons, white is the traditional color of bridal dresses. No one would think of attending a funeral in white. Any more than it would occur to a bride to wear black. We simply remain convinced that it is not in the "nature" of those colors. Yet, in certain oriental countries, it is white, not black that is the color of mourning.
That having been said, there is some “overlapping” in the properties different cultures attribute to certain colors. For example, Feng Shui, the traditional Chinese philosophy that distinguishes between good and evil influences explains colors much in the same way as the majority of western color specialists. Is that to say that colors have real natural properties which all humans perceive(感知) in the same way or is the phenomenon an example of the cross-influences that affect the thinking of cultures brought closer to one another by a certain Venetian(威尼斯人) called Marco Polo? It is difficult to say.
But, be that as it may, colors do affect us. And if you feel emotions for a certain color, note them and remember them. You may even wish to consider them next time you are planning to decorate. The decision is yours!
小題1: Most of the time, we ignore ______ when choosing colors for decoration.
A．personal tasteB．our aesthetics
C．cultural effectsD．psychological effects
小題2:Why is it not possible for us to hold a really objective discourse on the subject?
A．Because it is often nothing more than a reflection of our cultural belongingness.
B．Because the colors have the properties for generations.
C．Because it is difficult to separate the psychological from the cultural.
D．Because the symbolic aspects influence our perception of colors.
小題3: The italicized word “overlapping” is paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to______
A．differenceB．conflictC．samenessD．a(chǎn)greement
小題4: In western countries, white is ______.
A．preferred by bridalsB．used in a funerals sometimes
C．depressing in decorationD．pure in its nature
小題5: According to the author, which of the following statements is certain?
A．Different cultures can have the same properties of colors.
B．If you feel emotions for a color, note them and remember them.
C．All humans perceive colors’ natural properties in the same way.

Although Paris is often considered the city of romance， close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet，singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes， brown hair，and is 1.8 meters tall，or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.
At this Paris location，single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door，they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(過道).
With purple baskets in hand， shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay， they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish（美化）one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket， on the other hand，is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition， what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These ways it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.
小題1:What do many single people in Paris complain about?
A．The difficulty in meeting people.
B．The idea of supermarket dating.
C．The items on their grocery list.
D．The inconvenience in shopping.
小題2:Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?
A．The dating supermarket is located in Paris.
B．The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.
C．People looking for love must get a basket of a particular color
D．The dating supermarket has very good business.
小題3:How do love shoppers meet one another?
A．They schedule their meeting in advance.
B．They go through a special checkout.
C．They pick out their groceries with great care.
D．They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.
小題4:According to the writer，a possible way to win a woman’s heart is to              .
A．pick up a purple basketB．buy low-fat food
C．embellish your appearanceD．buy pet food
小題5:Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?
