A
Left alone for over a month after the sad death of their owner, cats Roly Poly and Pudding never stood much of a chance. Amazingly, however, the lucky pair survived thanks to their vast fat.
Police found the fat cats after reports of a smell coming from their elderly owner's home in Walsall, West Midlands. Both cats were close to death, but had kept on diet although having no access to food. When officers found the pair, they were still overweight at over nine kilos t- more than twice the weight of a normal cat.
RSPCA inspectors believe the cats managed to stay alive because of their owner's feeding habits, and could have been even heavier before they were discovered.
Judith Haw, from the RSPCA, said, "The cats were obviously much-loved by their owner, but perhaps a bit too much. We think the lady didn't have any relatives who could care for the cats and she didn't have time to let anyone else know. The cats did not have access to any food and were using the house as a toilet, so police were called when neighbors complained about the smell."
Judith said the cats, which are being eared for at Foxtwood Cattery near Stoke, need a new home with a perfect parent who would be a health-conscious fitness fanatic (狂热者). She also said, "We'd love to find the cats a personal trainer or perhaps someone who is on a diet so they can help the cats lose weight, too."
56. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?
A. The cats are being looked after near Stoke.
B. Inspectors from RSPCA called the police.
C. The lady had time to let anyone else know her death.
D. The cats are twice heavier than a normal cat.
57. RSPCA inspectors thought the cats can survive owing to ______ .
A. their owner's feeding habits
B. too much food
C. their owner's love
D. RSPCA's careful attending
58. According to Judith, the cats ______ .
A. were left alone for a month
B. needed a toilet
C. should be fed scientifically
D. gave off some terrible smell
59. We can infer from the passage that ______ .
A. the lady didn't have any relatives
B. the cats might have had nowhere to stay
C. police found the pair in Walsall
D. the cats' owner massively overfed them
B
As the job-hunting season is approaching, many graduates are suffering from anxiety. Worried about not getting satisfactory offers, some students have sleep problems, or even lose their appetite (胃口).
According to a survey across several universities in Wuhan, over 72 percent are worried about finding a Job. Students in the first one or two years are also uneasy about their job expectations, which contributes to spreading anxiety further.
Lang Lei, a business major from Renmin University, hoped to get a position in a large state-owned enterprise. But when it turned out that things wouldn't be so easy, Lang became concerned. "I began to worry," said Lang, who has now changed to more realistic goals. "Sometimes It was impossible for me to stop worrying. I had to talk about it on and on with my friends."
Others feel anxious while waiting for interview results. Mo long, a senior software engineering major at South China Normal University, said, "For a day or two, I couldn't help but keep thinking about how I performed in front of the interviewers, how well I answered their questions, and whether they would consider giving me a chance in the end.". Mo was even unable to focus on other things as his apprehension grew. Often he just wanted to grab a phone to call the Human Resources Department, but he didn't have their number.
Wen Fang, a well-known educator in Beijing, advises students not to be misled by the surveys and reports about the job market. "Unemployment rates are not linked to personal chances of getting a job, which is mainly determined by his or her ability."
According to Wen, a mild degree of anxiety is normal, which can even be helpful. But if it constantly affects a student's normal life, one should pay more attention. "Focus on adapting yourself to the needs of society, and never expect too much of your goals," Wen added.
60. Mo Tong didn't call the Human Resources Department because ______ .
A. he couldn't get through to the number
B. he'd rather talk with his friends
C. he was unaware of the number
D. he felt himself full of anxiety
61. ______ causes part of students unease.
A. Being worried about getting unpleasant jobs
B. Waiting for the interview results
C. Taking part in too many examinations
D. Planning to have further education
62. We learn from the last paragraph ______ .
A. anxiety is normal
B. we should pay more attention to anxiety
C. we should set a suitable goal
D. constant anxiety may affect a student's normal life
63. What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Expectations.
B. Anxiety.
C. Understanding.
D. Chances.

Australia's Opera House and Harbor Bridge are going to be joined by a new landmark after the local government approved a ￡330 million, l5-hectare (公顷) Chinese-themed park including a full-sized copy of the gates to Beijing's Forbidden City. The park, to be built in Wyong Shire, about 50 miles north of Sydney, will also have a nine-story temple housing a giant Buddha and a mini-city modeled on Chinese water towns.
The local mayor (市长), Doug Eaton, said the park, to be finished by 2020, is going to become one of the country's main tourist attractions. "Outside the Opera House and Harbor Bridge, this has the potential to be among the biggest tourist attractions in the state," he said, "What this project will do is turn the Wyong Shire into a tourist attraction and bring millions of dollars worth of tourism into the area, which will have a lasting effect on the local development."
The local government has agreed to sell the land to the Australian Chinese Theme Park Pty Ltd., the private company behind the project. Construction will begin with the building of the Forbidden City gates in 2015.
The park will also include a section in the architectural style of the Tang and Song dynasties and another in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It will have a 1000-seat theatre, restaurants and function halls, and a children's section devoted to pandas.
"It is going to be a unique S500 million tourist attraction, employing more than a thousand people and bringing a bright future to Wyong Shire," said Bruce Zhong, chairman of the ACTP. The project is designed to take advantage of Chinese tourist market.

Parents seem to be looking in an unusual place for inspiration for baby names this year—their smartphones and iPads.
The number of babies named after Apple products has soared—Apple, Siri and Mac have all
risen in popularity as baby names this year, according to parenting advice site BabyCenter's annual report.

Meanwhile, for boys, the name Mac has jumped 12%.
The huge success of iPhone and iPad seems to be behind the new trend—BabyCenter describes the youngsters as 'iBabies', "The smart phones may just be the best parenting tool since diapers (纸尿裤) and some parents are showing their respect to industry leader Apple in their choice of baby names," says Linda Murray, the site's global editor in chief.
Space-themed baby names also rose in popularity, lb is perhaps inspired by the publicity around NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover. "It seems space was a huge naming inspiration for parents this year: Sky, Star, Luna, Skylar, Heaven, Stella, and Mars all flew higher than last year," says Miller.

A beautiful girl fell into a city moat (护城河) as a result of a careless step. She was swept by the currents (水流) to a broken fence of a bridge arch (拱门) in the moat, which caught her dress and stopped her for a short time. As the currents were rapid and the water surface is two or three meters below the ground, it would be hard to rescue her and even harder for the rescuer to climb up to safety. None of the passers-by dared to run the risk.
Eventually a young man dived into the moat, attempting her rescue. As a good swimmer, he soon reached the girl and dragged her to the bridge pier (桥墩). The accident attracted a large crowd, and not only came a group of firemen trying to help but also a lot of reporters. One of the latter asked the young man, "What made you run the risk in such rapid currents?"
The young man turned to the girl and gave a loud answer, "It was her beauty." The answer caused a general smile among the on-lookers. "Didn't you have any idea of the danger you would come across?" asked the reporter again. "Why," said the young man, "She's so charming that it would be a great pity if she had been swept away by the rapid currents." This time all burst out laughing.
Later that evening, the TV news ran an item about the rescue. They showed the scene of the
rescue itself, the saved girl full of gratitude and people's praise for her heroic rescuer. But the young man's interesting answers were missing, not to be heard.
72. Why dare not passers-by save the girl?
A. The currents were always rapid.
B. The river was too deep.
C. They w ere afraid of taking the risk.
D. They needed a witness.
73. When the beautiful girl ______ , the young man gave her a hand.

D. was swept down the river

D. some ordinary persons
75. What can we learn from the passage?
A. A young man accidentally saved a girl falling into a moat.
B. There exist honesty and beauty as well as kindness.
C. Passers-by laughed at the young man's answer without hesitation.
D. News reporters covered the whole incident that evening.

认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。
There are many TV programs on Chinese food, but few are like China at Your Tongue Tips. The latest seven-part documentary (纪录片) offers insights into the geographical, historical and cultural aspects of what Chinese eat.
Made by Chen Xiaoqing, an award-winning documentary maker, China at Your Tongue Tips is filled with varieties of food, which tells us the beautiful process of food-making. The program is sure to attract both food experts and ordinary audiences.
Television is filled with food programs these days, especially introductions of top chefs and close looks at the complicated and refined (精制的) cooking processes of a feast (盛宴), but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture, according to Chen.
"The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes, like eating habits of eating."
The surprise is that the show is not only about dishes. Every part focuses on different people, who tell stories about their adventures with food.
"As a saying, goes, 'you are what you eat','" Chen says. "Food is always connected with people. Behind the documentary, they are stories that reflect people's living situations and attitudes. That's another section which makes it special."
To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing researches and interviews in about 60 cities before they started shooting in last July. Filming lasted about nine months.
China at Your Tongue Tips shows social changes while presenting food culture, such as showing the elderly are in their hometowns while other members of this family work outside. In
those cases, food serves as reminders of happy times and centerpieces of reunions.

One possible version:
In my opinion, we shall not leave our parents alone for one cause or another. As internationalization and increased mobility of society require the young to be always on the way of seeking educational or occupational success, the majority of the young men have little time to visit their parents and take care of them while most seniors are willing to live with their children.
As is well-known, though our country's economy rises rapidly, social welfare system for the senior is still under construction. Therefore, it's not proper for the young to take the Western approach of a welfare society where the government lakes care of all the elderly.
In conclusion, even if the social welfare's system can support all senior citizens, the love that
only a family member can give cannot be replaced.
