Since then，the show has grown into a big success for the network，even  raking in  fans abroad with its international distribution．In May，The New York Times reported that Warner Bros．，which produces and distributes the show，had entered into"what is believed to be one of the most profitable TV deals ever"with TBS and local Fox stations．
Audiences just can't seem to get enough of the character of Sheldon Cooper，who is as socially dysfunctional as he is bright．Admirers take to Facebook fan pages to post their favorite Sheldon quotes，including："I'm not insane （crazy），my mother had me tested!"and"They were threatened by my intelligence and too stupid to know that's why they hated me．"
Fans can visit Jim Parsons Online，and there is even a site，SheldonShirts．com，dedicated to the many shirts worn by the character，complete with links to where to buy them．Mary Waring created the site because of her husband's interest in Sheldon Cooper's shirts．And with his character's nerdy character and addiction to all things"Star Trek，"Parsons is also a hit with  fan boys and fan girls．

2．Greenland is Shrinking at Surprising Rate
A new study shows one of the largest glaciers in Greenland is becoming smaller and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected．If it continues，Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3 feet．
The rates of change that we're noticing are much higher than expected．If these rates continue，it is not unlikely that Greenland could shrink by several tens of percent this century．However，it's not known how quickly this coastal response of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice．
Greenland is the world's largest island，covering an area more than three times the size of Texas．Some 81 percent of it is covered by ice，and there are many glaciers．Glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice．Where a glacier meets the sea，its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom．A glacier's front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats．
Since the 1970s，the front of Helheim stayed in the same place．Then it began melting rapidly，moving back 4.5 miles from 2001 through this past summer．It has also grown thinner，from top to bottom，by more than 130 feet since 2001．And over these past four years，its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70 feet per day to nearly 110．
The melting is driven by a warmer climate．Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit in the last decade．Since most of Greenland's ice is on land，seas will rise as the ice melts．If all Greenland's ice sheet melted，oceans would be 15-20 feet higher．Nobody expects that to happen anytime soon．
68．Which of the following about the glaciers is TRUE？C
A．Glaciers only lie in Greenland．
B．Water in glaciers is more than sea water．
C．Glaciers sometimes float on the water．
D．Glaciers can increase the water level of lakes．
69．According to the text，we know that GreenlandB．
A．belongs to Canada                   
B．is the largest island in North America
C．is all covered with glaciers           
D．is sinking under the sea level
70．Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glaciers？D
A．the climate of the world will be warmer．
B．the glaciers in other area will be bigger．
C．It will be easy for explorers to visit the island．
D．Some coastal cities may be under the sea．

1．The US government has started a website，Admongo，to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them．It claims to provide visitors with an"education"through games and other entertainment．
       A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo．"Call me Haiz"，he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it．Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising．
       Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities．Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers．
       The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things：To identify the advertiser．To know what the advertiser is really saying．And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do．
       Children learn these things through a video game．They create their own game character．They can choose different skin colors，hair styles，eye and mouth shapes．Then they begin a trip through ad-land，where there are ads on buses and billboards．The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level．
       The Admongo game takes players inside a home，to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found．It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing．
       One such area is food marketing．The Federal Trade Commission（FTC） says it is a big business．The FTC estimates that food，drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009．
       The FTC says children are important for three reasons．They buy products．They influence parents and caregivers to buy．And they are the future adult buyers of the products．
       A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value．First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children．
66．What is the best title of the text？B
A．The guide of Admongo                     
B．An education website for children
C．A popular online video game              
D．A website aimed at children
67．Why did the government start the website？C
A．To attract the biggest market of buyers．
B．To sell the products of its company．
C．To help children know about advertising．
D．To advertise the video game for children．
68．What can players do in the website game？A
A．Choose hair styles for their character．
B．Travel to a supermarket．
C．Eat in a fast-food restaurant．
D．Play video games during the trip．
69．Children are important for advertising because they areB．
A．important for the society                   
B．the most potential buyers
C．easily influenced by ads                    
D．easily affected by poor products
70．According to Michelle Obama，lots of food advertised for children areD．
A．healthy       B．of high nutrition   C．yummy          D．of low quality．

20．A．The power and habit of thinking 
B．The value of previous education
C．The correctness in using mother tongue 
D．The development of an educated man 
E．The possession of gratitude 
F．Refined and natural manners  
 
76．C
   The first characteristic of an educated man is the precision of the use of the native language．When one hears English well spoken，with pure diction，correct pronunciation，and an almost unconscious choice of the right word，he recognizes it at once．How much easier he finds it to imitate English of the other sort．
77．F
    When manners are artificial and forced，no matter what their form，they are bad manners．When，however，they are the natural expression of fixed habits of thought and action，and when they reveal a refined and cultivated nature，they are good manners．There are certain things that gentlemen do not do，and they do not do them simply because they are bad manners．
78．A
   Human beings for the most part live wholly on the surface or far beyond the present moment and that part of the future that is quickly to follow it．They do not read those works of prose and poetry which have become classic because they reveal power and habit of reflection and induce that power and habit in others．When one reflects long enough to ask the question how？He is on the way to knowing something about science．
79．D
    An educated man continues to grow and develop from birth to his dying day．His interests expand，his contacts multiply，his knowledge increases，and his reflection becomes deeper and wider．It would appear to be true that not many human beings，even those who have had a school and college education，continue to grow after they are twenty-four or twenty-five years of age．By that time it is usual to settle down to life on a level of more or less contented intellectual interest and activity．The whole present-day movement for adult education is a systematic and definite attempt to keep human beings growing long after they have left school and college，and therefore，to help educate them．
80．B
    The more visionary dreamer，however charming or however wise，lacks something that an education requires．The power to do may be exercised in any one of a thousand ways，but when it clearly shows itself，that is evidence that the period of discipline of study and of companionship with parents and teachers has not been in vain．

18．A severe heatwave sweeping India，with temperatures of almost 44°C，the highest in 52years，has killed at least 80people this month，officials said on Sunday． The hot weather，which officials say would continue over northern，north-western and central India in the next 48hours，also may have some impact on wheat production，exporters and flour-mill associations said．
New Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.7°C on Saturday，indicating a hot summer in the next two months in the nation's capital and other parts of northern and eastern India． The highest temperature in the past 24hours was 47°C at Ganganagar city，in Rajasthan state． Summer temperatures have been 4°C-6°C above normal over most parts of northern and central India since March，weather officials said．
In the eastern state of Orissa，authorities have decided to shut down schools from next Tuesday，advancing the annual summer holiday． Authorities said they were investigating reports of 53deaths from various parts of the state．
"District collectors have been asked to investigate and submit reports on other deaths，"Bhimsen Gochhayat，a government official said． Other deaths were reported from northern state of Uttar Pradesh and central Madhya Pradesh states．
India is expected to produce about 82million tons of wheat in 2009-2010，but there could be a shortage of 1-1.5million tons due to the heatwave，said Veena Sharma，Secretary General of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India．"Most of the harvesting is over，but there definitely will be a slight shortage of 1-1.5million tons due to the extreme weather conditions，"she told Reuters．
India is relying on an abundant wheat crop to make up for a 14.2% drop in rice output，the major summer-sown food grain，marred by the worst monsoon （季風(fēng)）in 37years last year． Weather officials say with summer temperatures in India set to remain above average，there were hopes of heavy rains at the start of the monsoon season that will help early sowing of rice，soybeans and lentils．

17．We've all seen them：perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles（腹�。�．It's easy!Just pay﹩149.99 for the Torso Track or﹩149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist．Americans spend tens of million of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist．
And did they work？Not necessarily．Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches（仰臥起坐）．Some can even cause injury-like the﹩518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP，which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin，La Crosse．Others，like the popular Ab-Doer，trpically burn less energy than a gentle walk，according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise．
The fact is that many Americans don't have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles．They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can't lose enough fat to make a difference．Even if the underlying muscles are well developed，and it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of tan inch of fat．That's enough to dismiss most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day．
So what works best？In its new study，the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer．A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10minutes a day performing such movements as"Body Boogies"and"Good Mornings"will"help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets．"Steven Loy，professor at California State University，Northridge，tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements．He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises．They determined that the muscles were no more active，and in some cases less so，when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer．
Taking a broader approach，researchers at San Diego State University compared 13abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles．They concluded，in a report published in May，that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time．Among the winners：the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the"Captain's Chair"，a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest．Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results．

63．Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles？C
A．Torso Track．
B．Ab-Doer．
C．Captain's Chair．
D．Body Shaper-Q8SP．

14．Japan's nuclear crisis（危機(jī)）has caused global alarm and reviews of safety at atomic power plants around the world．
"Japan's nuclear crisis was mainly public panic，not radiation risk"，an Australian expert，Michele Kearney，remained cheerful about the future development of international nuclear industry．
Professor Barry Brook，the director of Climate Science at Australian University，said that the crisis will lead international governments to improve measures to protect nuclear plants against extreme natural events，but is unlikely to cut down the use of nuclear power．
"It should be kept in mind that the explosions at the Japanese reactors were chemical，not nuclear，"Brook said，adding that"People don't understand that their bodies are radio-activated，the food that they eat，and the rocks the air and the sunlight，all of that are natural radiation they experienced．"
Graham Andrew，an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency （IAEA） said，"To better prevent an accident like the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan，there must be a high regard  given to matters of safety．"
Denis Flory，an IAEA vice director-general and head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security，said，"What is needed is that whatever development of nuclear energy cannot be seen without a very strong safety culture，with a very strong safety authority with very strong safety standards，so these are  two aspects which must go hand-in-hand and which must go together with a very strong transparency （透明） process．"
Flory said he believes that since Fukushima，more and more people have considered that strong safety measures are"the only way forward"when it comes to developing nuclear energy．
Currently，the IAEA's nuclear safety standards are not a must for member states．However，if a member state is receiving IAEA technical cooperation support，it is required to adopt the agency's safety standards．
It will likely take some time to come to lasting agreements on how nuclear safety must develop，but Flory said that a minister-level conference planned for June will mark the beginning of a process of building stronger standards．

67．Which word best describes Brook's feeling about Japan's nuclear crisis？B
A．Worried．   B．Calm．    C．Terrified．  D．Confused．
68．The underlined"regard"is closest in meaning toB．

B．A strong safety culture and a strong safety authority．
C．Development of nuclear energy and a strong safety culture．
D．Development of nuclear energy and a strong transparency process．
70．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？B
A．It is impossible to cut down the use of nuclear power．
B．The final agreements on nuclear safety standards are yet to come．
C．Member states of the IAEA have to adopt the agency's safety standards．
D．A minister-level conference is being held to discuss stronger safety standards．
