Federal regulators(調(diào)整者) Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert (警報(bào)) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates（估計(jì)） more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation’s emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
"The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers –telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (綁架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
小題1:What is the purpose of the approved plan?  
A．To warn people of emergencies via messages.
B．To popularize the use of cell phones.
C．To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D．To promote the wireless industry.
小題2:The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ____. 
A．CTIAB．the Warning Alert and Response Network
C．FCCD．federal regulators
小題3:The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by _____. 
A．the US federal governmentB．mobile phone users
C．the carriers themselvesD．the law of the United States
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?  
A．Cell Phone Alerts Protecting StudentsB．Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry
C．Cell Phone Alerts of National DisastersD．Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon

Speaking in his first National Day Rally speech on 15 August, Prime Minister Lee Hsien said Singapore’s education system was set for more reforms in the years ahead, particularly for the primary and secondary education．Read the summary of his thoughts on education below．
For a start, the Government is prepared to send and additional 3,000 teachers to Singapore schools, cut the courses of study even further and change the way the mother tongue, especially Chinese, is taught．But, for the changes to be successful, parents need to help．
Singapore has a devoted group of teachers and principals and quite a few of them are outstanding, but the Republic’s schools can be even better．To help the schools make a jump in quality, the Government plans that within the next 6 years, it will send 1,000 more teachers to primary schools, 1,400 to secondary schools and 550 more to junior colleges．Each school would decide how to use its extra teachers．Some may want to make classes smaller so students get more individual attentions while others may have new teachers assist more senior teachers, but the overall goal is to give teachers the time and space to come up with ways to bring out the best in their students．
More teachers must not mean more homework, however．In fact, the Prime Minister wants to see the courses cut down so that there is less pressure on the students．Good grades are important but they should not be the only goal students have．PM Lee is convinced that “we must teach less so that our children can learn more．”
Another change will be in the teaching of the mother tongue so that students can become more fluent．The key is to teach Chinese as a living language not just an academic subject like Latin．Therefore, the focus should be on speaking and reading the language．To do this, there must be an environment outside the classroom that is contributing to strengthening the Chinese lessons．
小題1:The text is mainly about         in Singapore．
A．the education reformB．a(chǎn)dding more teachers
C．the mother tongueD．ways of teaching
小題2:The general goal of using extra teachers is to          ．
A．make classes smallerB．a(chǎn)ssist more senior teachers
C．teach moreD．help teachers improve teaching quality
小題3:PM Lee holds that the students should         ．
A．do more homework B．give up higher grades
C．study more coursesD．be given more time to learn more
小題4:The key to teaching Chinese well is to          ．
A．make it academicB．have a creative environment
C．give more Chinese lessonsD．encourage speaking and reading a lot

What is the relationship between violence and sports? Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive． ”
David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, “These are often celebratory riots— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly． ”
Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous — no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality．”
Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, “Some people don’t even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it’s OK to do almost anything. They think, ‘There are so many of us and not enough of them． ’ ”
Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as “big parties．” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly． ”
小題1:Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs? 
A．There’s a connection between violence and sports
B．One cause of violence at sports events is alcohol．
C．There are many reasons for violence at sports events．
D．David Sampson and Dennis Brock have the same opinion．
小題2:Which of the following does NOT belong to a “mob mentality”?
A．“I must drink some alcohol to stop myself feeling shy． ”
B．“ It’s safe to do what many people are doing． ”
C．“There are so many of us and not enough of them． ”
D．“ No one knows I’m doing this． ”
小題3:How many experts are quoted by the writer of this passage?
A．Two．B．Four．C．Three．D．Five．
小題4:The last paragraph is mainly about ______．
A．how to turn games into big parties
B．why to install cameras in stadiums
C．how to prevent violence at sports events
D．how to avoid oneself behaving badly
小題5:What lesson can we learn from this passage?
A．Never drink any alcohol no matter where you are．
B．Whenever you are watching a game, you should keep quiet．
C．Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing something．

For several years, scientists have been testing a substance called interferon(干擾素), a possible wonder drug that is proving to be effective in treating a variety of diseases, including virus infections, bacterial infections, and cancers. To date, the new drug has no side effect of great influence to discourage its use.  But in spite of its success, last year only one gram was produced in the entire world.
The reason for the shortage lies in the structure of interferon. A special protein, the interferon produced from one animal species cannot be used in treating another animal species. In other words, to treat human beings, only interferon produced by human beings may be used. The drug is produced by infecting white blood cells with a virus. Fortunately, it is so effective that the amount given to each patient each time is very small.
Unlike antibiotics (抗生素), interferon does not attack germs directly. Instead, it protects healthy cells from being infected, and prevents the reproduction of viruses within cells.
As you might conclude, one of the most special uses of interferon has been in the treatment of cancer. Dr. Hans Strander, a research physician at Sweden’s famous Karolinska Institute, has treated more than one hundred cancer patients with the new drug. Among a group of selected patients who had received operations for advanced cancer, half were given  traditional treatments and the other half were given interferon. Among those treated with interferon 70 percent of them remained alive over three years, as compared with only 10 to 30 percent among those who had received the traditional treatments.
In the United States, a large-scale project supported by the American Cancer Society is now under way. If the experiment were successful, interferon could become one of the greatest medical discoveries of our time.
小題1:What is the difference between antibiotics and interferon?
A．Interferon has serious side effects, while antibiotics do not.
B．Antibiotics kill germs by attacking them directly, while interferon does not.
C．Antibiotics are very effective, while the effect of interferon is limited.
D．They are different in structure, although they are both proteins.
小題2:According to the passage, if 170 cancer patients received interferon treatment, how many of them would remain alive over three years?
A．About 30.
B．About 50.
C．About 120.
D．About 70.
小題3:The passage tells us that ________.
A．it is difficult to produce interferon in large quantities because of its special structure.
B．interferon is produced widely in lots of countries.
C．few of the patients who had received traditional treatments remained alive.
D．most of the patients who received interferon also needed traditional treatments.

The German shepherd runs off and noses around in the grass of Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau. “OK, Oakley,” the dog’s handler orders, “Find it!”
Oakley sniffs (嗅) until he comes to a bush, then stops, sits, and looks up at his handler. She bends to see what he has found: the waste of an endangered African wild dog. “Good dog!” she praises. The handler pulls a tennis ball from her pocket. Oakley jumps for his reward.
“He doesn’t actually want the waste,” says Aimee Hurt, a founding member of the U.S.-based group Working Dogs for Conservation. Hurt is in Kenya to train both Oakley and his handler. “He finds it so he can play with his ball. We’re the ones who want the waste.”
Detection dogs are sometimes taught to locate actual animals. Black-footed ferrets (雪貂) have been studied with their help. But more often the dogs learn to locate the waste of creatures such as bears, wolves and mountain lions.
What the dogs find provides scientists with data about a species. Scientists can use the DNA collected from animal waste to identify individuals, sex, and population sizes — all without ever seeing the animal itself. “It can take years to gather this kind of information if you have to trap animals,” Hurt explains.
Waste analysis might make a huge difference when wild species are accused of attacking domestic livestock (家畜). Hurt says, “A good detection dog will find the waste so we can see what the animal is actually eating.” This may help reduce problems between people and wildlife.
小題1: The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 2 refers to  “_____”.
A．the German shepherd
B．a(chǎn)n African wild dog
C．Aimee Hurt
D．the handler
小題2: Oakley is interested in finding the waste because _____.
A．he wants to study endangered animals
B．he can get a tennis ball to play with
C．he wants to eat it
D．he wants to play with it
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Trapping animals is not difficult.
B．People are making efforts to protect the environment.
C．Detection dogs attack domestic livestock frequently.
D．Collecting animal waste is a good way to gather information.
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Detection dogs can help scientists study wildlife.
B．Detection dogs can defend wildlife.
C．Detection dogs can help the police catch the criminals.
D．Detection dogs can help local people defend domestic livestock.

Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales
　 Fish have ears. Really. They’re quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths (耳石).
　 As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate (碳酸鈣). By looking through a microscope and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish’s age, just like the growth rings of a tree.
　 Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They’re examining the chemical elements (元素) of each otolith ring.
　 The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.
　 Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history.
　 In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles.
　 This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.
小題1:What can we learn about fish ears from the text?
A．They are small soft rings.
B．They are not seen from the outside.
C．They are openings only on food fish.
D．They are not used to receive sound.
小題2:Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?
A．Trees gain a growth ring each day.
B．Trees also have otoliths.
C．Their growth rings are very small.
D．They both have growth rings.
小題3:Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?
A．The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.
B．Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.
C．We can know more about fish and their living environment.
D．Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.
小題4:How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”?
A．They are very interested in Thorrold’s research findings.
B．They want to know where they can find fish.
C．They lend their fish for chemical studies.
D．They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.

Teaching includes more than leadership. Some of the teacher's time and effort is directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation(評(píng)價(jià)). But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effective organizational structure and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goals, or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group. The leadership pattern includes helping to form and keep up a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.
On the first day of class the teacher faces a room filled with individuals. Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages cooperation.
Standards and rules must be set up that keep order, ensure justice, and protect individual rights, but are not against school policy. What happens when one student hurts another's individual rights? Without clear guidelines agreeable to students, teachers, and administration(行政管理), the classroom can be in disorder. Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without opinions from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in ruining the class environment, finding ways to break rules.
No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and setting up a positive atmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance(保持) is necessary. Conflicts(沖突) arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new organizational structure. Sometimes out pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or athletic contests, or family troubles cause pressure in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to bring back a positive environment by helping students deal with conflicts, changes and pressure.
68. This article is written mainly for the purpose of ______.
A. providing information for teaching    
B. studying the teacher's behavior in the classroom
C. comparing the teacher's behaviors with students'    
D. teaching and organizing a class
69. The teacher, in some way, is a leader because ______.
A. he must well-organize a class and keep a good learning environment
B. he deals with students in the same way as a leader does
C. he should develop agreement among students
D. he has to keep his class in order and give instruction and evaluation
70. Which of the following is not true?
A. If the teacher well unites his student sand creates a positive atmosphere, he then will complete his task.
B. If guidelines are not acceptable both to students and teachers, the classroom can be a mess.
C. Outside pressure may cause pressure among students.
D. Students need the teacher just as sheep need a shepherd(羊倌).
