   Beijing: Beijing is to spend up to US$20 billion to change the Chinese capital into a 21st century one for the 2008 Olympics.

   The government managed to host the 2008 games. The general aim is for Beijing to have the same environmental standards as Paris, London or Washington by 2008.

   Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent to pipe natural gas to the city’s homes, taking away dirty coal burning gradually while 60,000 buses will be changed to liquefied gas.

   The money also will be used for relocating the polluting factories and building green areas. By 2008 around 90 percent of Beijing’s waste will be treated, compared to only 40 percent at present.

   Olympic officials realize the city has a long way to go to match the environmental standards of such cities as Paris, Toronto, Istanbul and Osaka.

   City officials have already announced that around 50 large projects are being dealt with to improve traffic jam and cut down pollution. They include construction of Beijing’s first light railway, a 40.5 kilometer line which is expected to be completed in 2005.

   Beijing, besides, plans to build an 82.25-kilometer-long subway to add to the existing 53 kilometers. Nine major roads will be rebuilt or widened.

   Beijing also plans to build a 70-meter-wide green area along the waterways to protect water quality as well as increase the green areas.

1. The government will pipe natural gas to the city’s homes in order to ________.

A. solve the problem of being short of fuel     

B. bring down the cost of daily life 

C. reduce the pollution of our capital  

D. keep up with the development of modern society

2. The underlined word “relocating” in this report means _________.

3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.

There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.

Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.

Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria, such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.

Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

8. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?

A. Price.     B. Safety.

C. Freshness.    D. Variety.

9 What is the doctors’ suggestion?

A. Grow your own food.  B. Reduce the use of pesticides.

C. Make sure the food is clean. D. Buy large companies’ products.

10. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?

A. It tastes better.   B. It is easier to grow.

C. It contains more fat.  D. It is more nutritious.

11. Where does this text probably come from?

A. A recipe book.   B. A chemistry paper.

C. A medical report.   D. A health magazine.

D

For top students from low-income families, applying to colleges is particularly difficult. One approach makes this whole process easier? Provide an adviser for them.

That's the idea behind CollegePoint, a program to help gifted students go to schools that match their intelligence. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT—and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than $ 80, 000 a year, they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students' questions.

Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don't think they have what it takes to get in and because many don't even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, thinking about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice: Skidmore College in New York.

Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle, an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can't get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-state wasn't her first choice, but it was the best option for her.

12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. How CollegePoint works.   B. The history of CollegePoint.

C. Ways to apply for a free adviser.  D. The challenge of choosing colleges.

13. What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?

A. Thinking highly of their abilities.  B. Knowing little about colleges.

C. Lack of enough learning experience. D. Failure to pass the entrance exam.

14. Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?

A. She didn't want to stay far from home. B. Her favorite major was provided there.

C. She would show her talents to the full. D. The university met her financial needs.

15. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Steps for Students to Choose Suitable Colleges

B. CollegePoint—How to Be a Financial Adviser

C Advisers Helping College Students to Score High

D. CollegePoint—Helping Students Select Ideal Colleges

Dear Tim,

With a new science and technology museum whose theme is “Intelligent Manufacturing in China” built in our city recently, our school plans to organize a visit for us students. Knowing that you are rather interested in modern science and technology, I am writing to invite you to go there with us.

As scheduled,we will gather at the school gate this Saturday morning and take the bus at around 8: 00 a.m. Since the museum is newly built, various kinds of most advanced technological and scientific innovations are exhibited. I have heard a model of a solar car as well as a 3D room is on display. Moreover, the visitors will not only have a chance to experience the amazing speed of 5G networks but also get a better understanding of the AI equipment.

Would you please let me know whether you can go to the museum with us or not? Looking forward to your early reply.
