That 5me of that night, 6he brought back a small box that he found somewhere--- how 7nobody ever knew. Since it was Rex, it 8easily have been half a race. The box wasn’t a good one. It was just a 9old piece that somebody10. Still it was something he wanted, probably 11there was some difficulty in transportation（运输）. And that he thought could test his courage.

We came downstairs and turned on the 15light. Rex was on the top step trying to pull the thing up, but it had 16somehow. And he was just holding his own(坚持着). I suppose he would have held his own 17dawn if we hadn’t helped him. The next day we carried the box miles away and threw it out.

With its budget of $80 million , John Woo as director, and an all-star cast（明星云集的演员阵容）, Red Cliff is the most expensive and ambitious Asian-financed film ever. Last week I saw the release of the second part, and boy oh boy does it shows. But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing my Cao Cao's from my Zhou Yu's, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn't so sure he was the man I should be rooting for. And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one-liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy（侦探）and an innocent northern soldier. The characters' interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle. Clocking in at（结束于）around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained（精疲力竭） as Cao Cao's soldiers must have 1,800 years ago. 1.By expressing “boy oh boy” in the first paragraph, the author seems to show that _______. A．the film characters are like boys who are childish. B．the film provides amazing and surprising scenes for audience. C．the film is suitable for younger boys to watch. D．the film scene is so bloody that boys shouldn’t watch it. 2.When did the author change his attitude toward Cao Cao? A．When he read the history story about Cao Cao. B．When he saw Cao Cao was watching a game of Cuju, C．When he realized that Cao Cao took some bad measures to beat his enemies. D．When he saw the romantic love story of Cao Cao and a southern spy. 3.The following factors of the film are all mentioned in the passage except_______. A．high budget B．leading roles C．actors and actress D．conversations 4.From the passage we can infer that_______. A．the author is a football fan in a foreign country. B．Cuju is the name of an ancient Chinese variation of football. C．the film Red Cliff 2 lasts about two hours. D．the author was very tired after about two hours’ battle.

The new iPhone 3G should please everyone. Its look and feel are only slightly improved, but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury. Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of the iPhone 3G's high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time. That's great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G network of AT&T（美国电话电报公司） (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active. That's not so great in cities like New York where AT&T's cellular coverage is awful. As one of my colleagues in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It's just a toy. You can't make phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time." The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the hundreds of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find tons of games (I like JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location — provided by the iPhone 3G's GPS chip — to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster over the 3G network. 1.The new iPhone 3G has following features except that _______ A. It looks and feels better B. It has a faster network C. It is easy to locate a place D. It is too expensive for people to buy 2.Why do one of my colleagues carry Verizon phone with him all the time? ______. A. Because iPhone 3G is just a toy. .. B. ecause he prefers Verizon phone better. C. Because AT&T's cellular coverage is terrible there D. Because Verizon phone enables him make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time 3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage. ____. A. App Store will offer you great fun. B. many apps have been developed for the iPhone. C. Most apps are very expensive. D. Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times are popular websites. 4.From the passage we know that the attitude of the author toward iPhone 3G is _____. A. doubtful B. appreciative C. optimistic D. pessimistic

Birds that are half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleeping—control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks. Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once. Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction. Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that compared with 12 percent for birds in internal spots, outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of napping time. “We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say. The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds napping side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open. Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning. Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds’ half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species. 1.According to the passage, birds often half sleep because ______. A. they have to watch out for possible attacks B. their brain hemispheres take turns to rest C. the two halves of their brain are differently structured D. they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions 2.What is implied about the example of a bird’s sleeping in front of a mirror? A. An imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security. B. Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security. C. The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread. D. A single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror. 3.While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to ______. A. alert themselves to the approaching enemy B. emerge from water now and then to breathe C. be sensitive to the ever-changing environment D. avoid being swept away by rapid currents 4.By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that ______. A. half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weather B. the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solved C. most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepers D. half-brain sleep may exist among other species

People in China, as in other parts of the world, are waiting to see how U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will deal with global problems such as the current economic slowdown once he takes office. As Sam Beattie reports from Beijing, there is widespread hope for closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation. For many students in Beijing, Mr. Obama symbolizes all that is possible in the United States. He's a popular winner here, seen as a self-made man who has made it to the top. "I think he is very charming, and a president who can create a new era," said Zhang Wei, a university student. "I like him very much and most of my friends do too." Ni Weibo, another university student, agrees. "Sino-U.S. relations still need more cooperation," she said. "I think he will help take it to a new era." China's President Hu Jintao congratulated Mr. Obama within hours of his victory, saying he hoped bilateral ties could be made stronger. Political analysts here say China will be looking for the incoming president to avoid contentious issues such as Taiwan's independence, human rights and Tibet. Instead, they say Beijing would like Mr. Obama to focus on solving the global economic crisis, and to help China's slowing economy by opening up U.S. markets. But trade relations might be a sticking point, says Renmin University's Professor of International Studies, Shi Yinhong. He warns, "There is a possibility that President Obama will take some protectionist measures which China will not accept, then trade disputes could develop to a degree that we have not seen ever before." Despite making the headlines, Mr. Obama faces some tough challenges in managing the U.S. relationship with China. China is now a stronger and more confident country than the China his predecessors dealt with. And in this time of economic uncertainty, analysts say it's a country with which Mr. Obama will want to maintain a good relationship. 1.What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A. Mr. Obama was popular with many students in Beijing mostly because he will take office soon. B. Economic slowdown is the big problem that the world is facing and looking forward to solve except US C. China’s President Hu Jintao congratulated Obama on his victory within hours. D. Through Obama’s being elected, we can see all is possible in US and a new relationship may come. 2.What is not mentioned in this passage? A. What Barack Obama is expected to do in dealing with the US-China relationship. B. Why Barack Obama will maintain a good relationship with China. C. How Barack Obama will deal with the current economic slowdown. D. What image Barack Obama has given to Chinese people. 3.. What does “ a sticking point”( in para.7 ) mean? A. a twist point B. a disputed point C. a good beginning D. a understanding point 4.What is the best title for this report? A. US-Chinese Cooperation Under the Current Economic Slowdown B. Obama, Seen As A Popular Winner In China C. Chinese Want Stronger Ties With US Under Obama Administration D. The Current Economic Problem faces China As Well As US
