Eleven tigers died in more than three months at a zoo in Shenyang in the Northeast. Who is responsible for the management of the non-state-owned zoo? Why is the annual income of 12-14 million yuan from sales of tickets not enough to provide for the more than 1,000 animals?

In the past 11 years since the zoo was established on the basis of the city's state-owned zoo, the total number of animals has been reduced from more than 1,000 in 61 species to more than 500 in 41 species. More than 100 workers have been on strike for a week asking for their payment. The state-owned zoo has been converted into a non-state one, but that does not mean whoever runs it can make money at the expense of the animals. And neither does it mean that whoever has the controlling share can do whatever he or she wants without being supervised by the local government.

Rumors have it that the zoo intentionally starved the tigers to death to put pressure on the local government for more money. If it is true, the decision-makers should be arrested for the crimes of killing endangered wild animals. Yet none of the leaders at the zoo has said a word. The local government won't be able to plan for the future of this zoo and of the wild animals if the problems with the current management are not resolved.

A) 11. B) 1000. C) 61. D) 41.

音频中提到，在过去的11年中，动物园的动物从61个物种1000多种生物减少到41个物种500多种动物（the total number of animals has been reduced from more than 1,000 in 61 species to more than 500 in 41 species），可见动物的数量急剧减少，所以选B。 18.What is the author's attitude toward the zoo management?

A) Indifferent. B) Neutral. C) Supportive. D) Critical.

正确答案为 D 你没有作答。 解析：

音频中提到，动物园的私有化并不意味着管理人员可以以牺牲动物为手段谋取利益（that does not mean whoever runs it can make money at the expense of the animals）如果传言属实的话，动物园的决策

者会因杀害濒危野生动物而被逮捕（If it is true, the decision-makers should be arrested for the crimes of killing endangered wild animals），可见作者对动物园领导者的批判态度，所以选D。 Script

For the Boao International Tourism Forum that opened this weekend in Boao, Hainan Island, we hope it isn't full of empty talks about the general development of tourism. What we would like to see is for the forum to be concerned about the island's housing and hotel prices, which will threaten island tourism in the long run.

Immediately after the central government's January announcement to develop the island into an international tourist attraction, housing and hotel prices on the island soared quickly. They have been five times higher than the prices before the announcement. The central government's plan by no means wants to make the island into a scenery attraction for the rich. But 10,000 yuan for one night at a three-star hotel for a family of three is far too high for even white-collar professionals.

The sudden increase has indeed attracted many investors to the island, and both local government and real estate developers must have made a tidy sum in the past months. But traveling to and staying on this island has been a great trouble for many families who enjoy seeing the beautiful landscape on the island. National rush for houses will only push housing prices higher in the near future. If bubbles are popping up in the housing market and vacationing is becoming far too expensive, tourism will take a massive hit. With all this in mind, the healthy and stable development of tourism should be one of the major topics for the forum.

19.What will influence Hainan Island's tourism directly?

A) International tourism forum. B) Housing and hotel prices. C) Government's policies. D) Family structure and income.

正确答案为 B 你没有作答。 解析：

音频中提到，岛上的住房和酒店价格会威胁到岛上的旅游业（the island's housing and hotel prices, which will threaten island tourism in the long run.），可见住房和酒店价格会影响到当地的旅游业，所以选B。

20.What's the central government's plan for Hainan Island?

A) To raise the housing and hotel prices on the island. B) To make the island a scenery attraction for the rich. C) To make the island an international tourist attraction. D) To boom tourism by holding an international forum.

正确答案为 C 你没有作答。

解析：

音频中提到，国家是想将海南岛开发成国际性的旅游景点（develop the island into an international tourist attraction），所以选C。

21.What's the expected topic for the forum?

A) Protection of the island's environment. B) Improvement of the island's infrastructure.

C) Healthy development of the island's tourism industry. D) Healthy development of the island's retail industry.

正确答案为 C 你没有作答。 解析：

音频最后提到，健康稳定的旅游业发展将是论坛的主题之一（the healthy and stable development of tourism should be one of the major topics for the forum），所以选C。 Script

For the first time on the Forbes Billionaires List, the number of Chinese billionaires ranks second in the world, following theUnited Statesand overtakingRussia. Of the 64 billionaires from the Chinese mainland in the 2010 list, 27 are new to the rankings. But while they celebrate their new worldwide fame, we hope they also spend a moment or two considering the role they should play in society.

The image of Chinese billionaires has not been very tasteful these days. Compared to foreign billionaires, many of the rich inChinaare less generous and sympathetic. To some extent, being rich inChinais seen as leading a luxurious and wasteful life. There is also evidence that some of the rich acquired their wealth through illegal means. It is, therefore, our hope that the Chinese who have made their way into the Forbes Billionaires List this year set a good example for the rest of the rich nationwide by shouldering more social responsibilities.

They could win praise if they repay society in one way or another. By donating a portion of their fortune to a charity or spending in the name of a public welfare cause, they could mold a better image of the rich in our society. In fact, the general public, including some wealthy individuals, did respond well to theSichuanearthquake two years ago and made substantial donations for relief efforts.

22.Which country had the third largest number of billionaires in 2010?

A) America. B) China. C) France. D) Russia.

正确答案为 D 你没有作答。

A %us a semester and we'll give you the world.\This motto (格言) of Syracuse University's Division of International Programs Abroad is a brief way to sum up the advantages of studying abroad for college students. A semester of studying overseas can open your eyes in ways the best on-campus courses cannot.

B Studying abroad means living and studying for a period outside the United States. Many US colleges and universities now offer their students this opportunity, either through their own programs or through affiliations (关系) with programs of other schools, like Syracuse, that admit guest students. Students attend class and earn academic credit that counts toward their own degree requirements. Several different types of programs exist. It is important to find the one best for you.

C Overseas centers are, in effect, small branches of a US school that exist in a variety of locations. Syracuse and many other schools have such centers. While facilities may not have exactly the same services as the home campus, they provide students with basic assistance in living and studying overseas. Staff members help with housing, integration (融入) into local community activities, and other student needs. A faculty from the home campus or hired locally teaches classes that have been designed to provide American students with a solid knowledge base. Students have a \relax.

D Such centers exist in most parts of the world, although the largest number of them may be found in Western countries, especially England, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy. Still, non-European sites are experiencing the largest growth. In 1993-94, nearly 1,500 students went to Africa, an increase of 17.5% over the previous year. Asian programs experienced nearly a 20% growth rate during the same period.

E University exchanges are arrangements that permit US students to enroll directly in classes at foreign universities, usually as a part of an exchange that sends students from the foreign schools to enroll for a similar period in the United States. Students are limited to exchanges with English-speaking schools unless they are fluent enough to take classes in another language alongside native speakers. Differences in curriculum (课程) and scheduling sometimes pose other barriers difficult to overcome, but the rewards of undertaking this challenging experience are great.

F Increasingly popular are short-term programs of perhaps two to six weeks. These programs are frequently led by home-campus professors who teach one or two intensive courses during the summer or other school break periods. They are often \of locations over the length of the program.

G What is the best program for you? It depends. I advise students to choose the longest program that fits their degree plans and their comfort level. It takes time to understand and adapt to a new culture. If foreign language fluency is a goal, this too is best accomplished through a long-term overseas stay. However, the increased cost that usually accompanies studying abroad, degree requirements that make an extended absence from campus difficult, or other personal factors sometimes lead students to select shorter-term options.

H Once they decide that they should study abroad, most students have a good idea of where they would like to go. Cultural customs are often a determining factor: African-American students frequently select sites in sub-Saharan Africa, while programs in Spain and Latin America enroll large numbers of Hispanics. But just as often, students look to their future rather than to their past, selecting programs that fit their major and their career plans. For example, business or international relations students can gain valuable awareness of the European Union at sites in London, or learn about the increasingly important Pacific Rim countries through participation in programs in Hong Kong, Singapore, or Japan. Theater, English, or journalism majors find London an excellent place to study. Foreign language majors achieve true language mastery by studying where their chosen language is spoken while living with a host family.

I Most subjects can be studied overseas. Some are difficult to find, but even science or music students can often continue their studies at British or Australian universities. And the great advantages of studying abroad work for everyone! Students who return from studying abroad are more aware, more self-confident, and more mature than those who do not study abroad. They stand out, as part of a select group, from those who have chosen to remain closer to home.

J Students who consider their options well in advance of the time they want to study abroad will be better able to fit the resulting credits into their degree programs and remain on target for graduation and they will be more likely to find the necessary financial resources. Speak with your school's advisor of the studying abroad program as well as with your own advisor. Find out what financial aid is available. Many schools allow aid to be used for studying abroad. Don't be deterred (阻止) by high price tags attached to your favorite programs! Many schools have extra aid available, even for guest students. For students with Internet access two key web-sites are www.studyabroad.com and www.finaid.org.

Millions of Americans currently keep guns in their homes for hunting or self-defense purposes. Although a gun can give a sense of safety in the event of a street attack or home invasion, owning a gun also poses many dangers in and of itself. Studies consistently show that guns kept inside the home are more likely to be used on a friend or family member than on an intruder (闯入者) or criminal. The gun owner may shoot a perceived threat, not realizing that they have been frightened by a family member, friend, or acquaintance. This is often referred to as the \the milkman\person. Tragically, this can lead to the accidental injury or even death of a loved one.

These dangers become complicated when there are children living in the home. Even if parents think the guns are secured, it can be surprising what children can get into. Too many adults take for granted that young children will understand the dangers of a gun. Unfortunately, news stories about kids accidentally killing friends with a gun that they think is a toy show the true danger of guns in a home with children.

If you do keep a gun in the home, it is crucial that you follow the appropriate safety precautions. Keep friends, family members, and yourself safe from gun-related accidents in the home by storing the guns securely. The guns must not be accessible to anyone except the adults living in the home. Even if the gun is unloaded and the safety is on, never point a gun at anyone for fun, especially if your children are watching. Your finger should never touch the trigger (扳机) of a gun unless you plan to fire it at that instant. Every adult with access to the gun should enroll in a class on proper ownership and use of a gun. Knowing as much as you can about your gun is the key to safety.

56.What is the \

A) Shooting a milkman by accident.

B) Shooting thieves or criminals sucessfully. C) Shooting someone they know accidentally. D) Shooting another gun owner for self-protection.

正确答案为 C 你没有作答。 解析：

文章第二段第四句话提到，持枪者可能因为感到恐惧而开枪，完全没有意识到，自己只是被家人、朋友或者熟人吓到了（The gun owner may shoot a perceived threat, not realizing that they have been frightened by a family member, friend, or acquaintance.），可见他们只是意外开枪，所以选C。 57.Why is it possible for gun owners to injure or kill the persons they love?

A) Because they do not obey the rules of keeping a gun. B) Because they are too frightened to shoot accurately. C) Because they may shoot first before identifying them. D) Because they may lose control of their feelings.

正确答案为 C 你没有作答。 解析：

文章第一段倒数第二句指出，受到惊吓的人可能先开枪，然后才看清对方是谁（A scared gun owner may shoot first, before identifying the person.），所以选C。 58.What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A) Adults should not buy children toy guns. B) Parents should teach children how to use a gun. C) Parents should make sure their guns are secured.

D) Adults should educate children about the dangers of a gun.

正确答案为 D 你没有作答。 解析：

第二段指出，家长们理所当然的觉得孩子们了解枪支的危险性，可事实上，孩子们可能认为枪支只是一件玩具，因而会意外射杀自己的朋友。由此可见，家长应该教育孩子，使他们认识到枪支的危险性，所以选D。

59.The author suggests that those who keep guns at home should realize the importance of ________.

A) learning how to shoot accurately B) showing children when to fire a gun C) ensuring that the guns are unloaded D) following appropriate safety precautions

As a part of the requirements for high school graduation and university admission, seniors need to write a college essay before graduation. Although it is compulsory (必须做的) for you to write a college application essay, you should do it voluntarily since your preferred college really wants you to write one.

Writing college essays can be risky for some people. It can be exciting but some students consider it as a headache. It can be a big problem for them, especially those who can't write effectively and efficiently. It can be a tough fight since there will be thousands and thousands of students who are going to compete for college admissions through writing a well-distinguished college essay. You can't write it on your own without any supported facts, further research and analysis about the topic of your essay.

Since this is really a serious job, you need to have a strong plan on how to start and finish your college essay. You need to put up some efforts on your work so that you can stand out among the rest of the college applicants. If you are a little bit afraid on how to start your work, then you should concentrate further on the fact that you need to pass the admissions in order to reach your goals in life. All you need to have are the skills in writing college essays effectively.

Need to do background research for a paper? Keep these things in mind to ensure that you create strongly-documented arguments for your work. Base your research around the types of work that will serve you best. For instance, an essay on government policies will likely require you to pore (认真研读) over legal documents and law journals. If you're unsure, ask your professor or advisor about possible research sources. Since each will likely have their own preference, you can get around the hurdle (难关) quickly by asking them directly.
