I had spent over five exhausting（令人疲乏不堪的） years on my essay for my Ph. D（哲學(xué)學(xué)士）. and was anxiously preparing for my oral boards which were to be held in California, and I had  36  a flight through Minneapolis, where I was to change  37 . My flight was very late, and I was soon in an all—out run to  38  my flight. I had to stop to catch my  39 on a moving sidewalk when I  40 a woman in her fifties   41 with a carry-on bag.
I don’t know   42  , but I looked at her face and blurted out, “Are you going on flight 567 to California?”
She responded, “Yes.”
“So am I ,” I responded．“Give me your bag. I’ll run   43 and tell them to wait for you.” I took her bag and started running again. I   44 onto the plane and told a flight attendant that one more passenger was behind me and to please   45 the plane for her. I   46 myself with her bag, and a few moments later she arrived and was the last person on the plane   47 they closed the doors and   48  . After the plane leveled off, I   49 the bag to her, and she smiled at me and thanked me.
I didn’t sleep a wink in the hotel and arrived at the   50 at seven o’clock in the morning. The  51 kept me waiting for an hour in a room. I walked into the boardroom and was initially frightened by all the   52 in their robes. As I slowly   53 at the faces of all the board members, I noticed the bright face of a woman. She gave me a smile   54 a young schoolgirl. It was the same woman whose bag I had carried ahead the night before.   55 , whenever I made a mistake on any questions, she did a great job of relaxing me.

A pair of pandas being lent by China to Japan was set to arrive in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo in the Japanese capital and raising hopes that the animals may help improve bilateral (雙邊的)ties.
Bi Li and his female partner, Xian Nu, both 5, were  due  to  touch  down at  Narita international Airport in Tokyo on a flight from Shanghai.
Together with their keeper, the pair were transferred from Chengdu, to Shanghai on Monday morning, said Li Desheng, deputy chief of the Wolong Nature Reserve.
The pair, which are young adults, will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo since April 2008, when the institution's beloved Ling Ling died.
Ueno Zoo had spent 90 million yen ($1.1 million) installing under-floor heating, a playground with a sandbox and landscaping.
The pair will dine on rare bamboo from the central Japanese mountain of Izu that is similar to what they are used to at home in China.
The zoo's first pair of pandas arrived in 1972, marking the normalization of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Expectations are running high that the pandas that will stay in Japan for 10 years will boost the local economy and improve troubled relations between Tokyo and Beijing.
Business and tourism officials expect them to bring in around 20 billion yen a year, or 10 percent of the local economy.
In 1993, a year after Ling Ling arrived in the zoo, an additional 1 million people visited the attraction. Visitors have fallen to around 3 million a year from 3.5 million since Ling Ling's death.
Since a boat collision near the Diaoyu Islands in September, Sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point. The media outlets expressed hope that bilateral relations will improve with the arrival of the pandas.
小題1:The passage mainly tells us         .    
A．a(chǎn) pair of pandas was lent to Japan by China
B．the pair of pandas from China brought hope of improving Sino-Japanese relations
C．the normalization of diplomatic ties between China and Japan
D．sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point since the Diaoyu Island incident
小題2:en the pair of pandas arrives in Japan,         .   
A．a(chǎn)n additional 1 million people will visit the zoo
B．they will eat what they are used to from China
C．they will stay there for 10 years
D．they will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo
小題3:According to the passage, we know that Ling Ling stayed in Japan for about         .  
A．5 yearsB．10 yearsC．15 yearsD．20 years
小題4:What does the underlined phrase "touch down" probably mean ?   
A．take offB．landC．come upD．meet
小題5: The arriving of the pandas is expected to bring several positive effects except         . 
A．boosting the local economy

No matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. You can be pleased with the fact that the number of such is relatively small.
It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity (一致性) in the lists which represent the best choices of any period. In every age, the list makers include both ancient and modern books in their selections, and they always wonder whether the moderns are up to the great books of the past.
What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
Great books are probably the most widely read. They are enduring best sellers. Gone with the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.
Great books are popular, not pedantic. They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.
Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.
Great books deal with the continuously unsolved problems of human life. There are mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Inquiry not begins with wonder, but usually ends with it also. Great minds acknowledge mysteries only honestly. Wisdom is encouraged, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.
小題1:Which is not the criterion in the following when considering a great book?
A．Although not a best seller, it must be the most widely read．
B．A great book can be read without any effort．
C．Great books are never out of date．
D．Great books will not disappoint you if you try to read them well．
小題2:According to the author, Gone with the Wind is     .
A．a(chǎn) best sellerB．disliked by readers who like Shakespeare
C．read more often than Don QuixoteD．a(chǎn) great book
小題3:In the passage the underlined word “pedantic” means        ．
A．showing the feelings, esp., those of kindness, which people are supposed to have
B．serving as practical examples
C．being elementary
D．paying too much attention to details in books
小題4:The best title for this passage is        .
A．Great Books in Your LifeB．Great Books in Your Specialty
C．How to Find a Great Book?D．What Is a Great Book?

When you are far away from home for the first time and have a lot to adjust to，you can't do it alone. However independent you are，it is good to have a roommate during your first year.
Living with someone helps ease your loneliness. Sure it may seem appealing to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing. If you have a bad day, you may want to talk to someone.
Friends are great sources of venting (宣泄), but friends can't always be there. Even worse, they may be self­centered and show no interest in your problem. It's not that roommates aren't like this, but even just small talk can help you feel better.
Having a roommate teaches you how to get along with people and settle conflict. You two should set up rules immediately and discuss what to do when there is conflict. If you two don't like each other，you still study，relax，and sleep in the same room. You must find a way to get along.
Finally，having a roommate exposes (使接觸) you to different ways of living. Your roommate may come from a different city，and have different living habits. He or she also has different interests and personalities. You don't have to end up liking the same things your roommate does，but try to learn something different. You will be surrounded by many different people in college and have the chance to try things you never have before. Why not start learning from your roommate？
Having a roommate gives you the skills and personal background you will need to utilize (利用) when you are out on your own. Make the most of living with a stranger and besides，there will be plenty of opportunities for you to have your own room later in your college years.
小題1:Who are probably the intended readers of the passage？
A．University teachers.
B．Students who are not independent.
C．Students in the first year of college.
D．Students who will graduate from college soon.
小題2:From the passage，we can learn that 　　　　.
A．roommates will become good friends in the end
B．there may be disagreements between roommates
C．students can choose those they like as their roommates
D．those with similar interests can become roommates
小題3: How is the passage organized？
 
小題4:The purpose of the passage is to　　　　.
A．tell the importance of friends
B．compare friends with roommates
C．encourage students to find a roommate
D．state the different ways of living

Everybody hates rats．But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends．
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue（救援） dogs. Why? Because they can smell people．Dogs save lives．They help rescuers to find living people．But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces．So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat．
How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people．When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal（信號）．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals．When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive．The rat has smelled that person．
Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better．Christian Linster at Cornell University—New York says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around．Rats are good at that．” Rats can also see in the dark．They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic．A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe．” Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake，of course）．
小題1:In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become man's best friends because they can _________．
A．take the place of man's rescue jobs
B．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D．get into small spaces
小題2:From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by_________．
A．the noise made by the ratB．the rat's unusual behavior
C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD．the smell given off by the person
小題3: In doing rescue jobs，_________．
A．rats smell better than dogs
B．dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
C．robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D．rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots
小題4: Rats have all the following advantages except that_________．
A．they are more fantastic than other animalsB．they are less expensive to train than dogs
C．they don't need electricityD．they are small and can get into small places
