Milan has prohibited the consumption and sale of alcohol to young teenagers in an effort to curb binge-drinking(遏制狂欢饮酒).

Parents of children under the age of 16 caught drinking wine or spirits will be liable to heavy fines of up to 500 Euros($700).

A third of 11-year-olds in the city have alcohol related problems.

In a country where for centuries wine has been part of local culture the prohibition has come as a shock.

But the authorities are deeply concerned about the increase in consumption of alcohol by children as young as 11 in the country’s industrial and financial capital. So as an experiment, supplying alcohol-either wine or spirits-to youths under the age of 16 in bars, restaurants and liquor stores will be prohibited.

Heavy fines will be imposed on the parents of offending children and on shopkeepers or bar owners who serve them.

A national law prohibiting the sale of alcohol to under-16s is only loosely enforced(执行), as Italian families are used to sometimes giving young children a teaspoon of wine as a family party treat.

In the past centuries, Italian children would sometimes even be given wine to drink in preference to water which was often polluted.

There has been a storm of protest by bar owners who refuse to act as alcohol police for young people.

But more Italian have realized that their old easy-going attitudes towards consumption of alcohol will have to change.

33. Which of the following is prohibited in Milan?

A) Selling wine and spirits to Italian people. B) Drinking wine or spirits. C) Drinking of alcohol by young teenagers. D) Binge-drinking in Milan 34. Who will be liable to heavy fines of up to 500 Euros?

A) Parents of young teenagers caught drinking wine or spirits. B) Children under the age of 16 drinking wine or spirits. C) 11-year olds who have alcohol related problems D) Parents of 11-year-olds having alcohol related problems.

35. The word “authorities” in paragraph 5 most probably means ______.

A) the government B) alcohol police C) local reporter D) alcohol experts

36. According to the passage, Milan______.

A) is the only city trying to curb binge-drinking. B) is the country’s industrial and financial capital. C) prohibits the sale of alcohol in bars or restaurants. D) prohibits the sale of alcohol, either wine or spirits.

37. The difficulty in enforcing a national law to prohibit the sale of alcohol to young teenagers mainly comes from ______.

A) young teenagers B) Italian tradition

C) protests of bar owners D) parents of teenagers

Passage Two

Although you may think that bottled water is a safer option than tap, two new reports show that the store-bought stuff is actually less regulated(监管) than the water you get out of your tap almost for free.

The food and Drug Administration(FDA) has little authority to regulate bottled brands, according to a U.S. Congressional report released recently.

While municipal water utilities are required to provide public reports of test results, bottled-water makers are not. So although you may pay a pretty penny for bottled water, that doen’t mean it’s any better than come out of your tap. In fact, it could be worse and you’d never know it.

The new research is backed by a report from the Environmental Working Group. The nonprofit organization surveyed the labels and Web sites of nearly 200 popular bottled-water brands and found that less than 2 percent disclosed thee important facts that can affect safety: the water’s source, purification methods, and chemical pullutants in each bottle.

Reaching for the most popular bottled brands isn’t necessarily a solution. In fact, the EWG report says that some of the best-known brand are the least likely to report where the water comes from and what it contains.

38. Compared with bottled water, tap water ______.

A) contains more pollutants B) has safer water source C) is more strictly regulated D) is actually less regulated 39. Which of the following is true about bottled water? A) Bottled brands provide test results publicly.

B) Most brands of bottled water are regularly tested. C) Purification methods are reliable and adequate.

D) Bottled water might contain more pollutants.

40. The focus of the survey by the EWG is on ______.

A) The labels and Web sites of bottled-water brands B) the environment of the source of bottled water C) the important facts related to the safety of water D) the purification methods to process water

41. It may be concluded from this passage that ______. A) the FDA has no right to regulate bottled water

B) people spend much money on bottled water only for safer water C) most popular bottled brands are found better than less-known ones. D) Bottled water from stores is not necessarily cleaner than tap water 42. The author’s attitude towards bottled water tends to be ______. A) positive B) negative C) unclear D) particular

Passage Three

China will pay dearly if it does not act now to build up an old-age social security system(社保体系)，as its population aged 80 or above will hit 83 million by 2050, a population expert, Ma Li, has warned.

China formally became an aged society in 2000, when the population aged 60 or above accounted for 10 percent of its 1.3 billion people.

With an annual growth rate of 3.7 percent, china’s population aged 80 or above will reach 22 million by 2020, and 83 million by 2050, according to Ma, a deputy(代表) to the 11th National People’s Congress(NPC).

In contrast to developed countries, China entered the aged society while it is still a developing country.

“China is not yet ready for the aged society. It does not havea complete old-age social security system. There are not enough resources. Fiscal support is scarce. And the risk is ever rising,” said Ma.

The lawmaker said China must act now to set up an old-age social security system that covers both rural and urban population.

Such a system should be based on the care of the old people by their families, backed-up by community-level services networks and with old folks homes as a supplement, he said.

Ma also stressed that China has the capacity to do that, as its economic structures and level of urbanization are well beyond the stage at which developed countries began to establish old-age social security systems for their rural populations.

43. According to the population expert, it is the time for China to ______. A) pay the price for its 83 million aged people B) keep its aged population from growing too fast C) look at its own problems as an aged society

D) begin building an old-age social security system

44. The phrase “accounted for” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______. A) constituted B) explained C) caused D) produced

45. According to Ma, China has entered the aged society but has not ______. A) investigated the situation of the ageing population B) built a complete old-age social security system C) noticed the risk of its growing population D) set up any social organization for the issue

46. In Paragraph 6 Ma is mentioned as a “lawmaker” because he ______. A) is a member of NPC B) is a population expert C) works for a law office D) cares about social security

47. Which of the following should play the main role in the old-age social security system? A) The community-level services networks. B) The rural and urban old folks homes. C) The family members of the aged people. D) The rural and urban communities.

Passage Four

Paul Newman was not only a movie star. He was also politically active, and fought for liberal causes. In 1968, he helped the Democratic Party presidential candidate in election. Newman protested the Vietnam War in front of the American Embassy in London. He expressed great pride that he was named on President Ricard Nixon’s list of enemies.

Hotchner became a huge success selling different food products. Over the years, more than two hundred fifty million dollars in company profits have been donated to social causes and organizations.

One of these is the Wall Gang Camp, started by Paul Newman in 1988. Its aim is to provide a free summer camp experience to children with cancer and other serious diseases.
