Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneCalifornia has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative. “Starting this fall with high school math and science, we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks.” That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June, talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online. He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital ones can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive. And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances.The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems. More than six million students attend California public schools.Earlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools. These had to meet at least 90% of the state's learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them.Six of the ten were published by the CK12 Foundation, a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years. The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family. 'California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves.Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them. But only in addition to their traditional books.School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies but that would not help the environment. Also，there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively.31.The Digital Textbook Initiative_______.A.will probably take effect in six yearsB.covers all the high school subjectsC.is advocated by California state governorD.has been approved by all states32.The main reason for promoting digital textbooks is to ______.A.benefit the environmentB.help save moneyC.provide interesting materialsD.reduce students’ heavy burden33.The digital textbooks were approved by______.A.content developersB.trained teachersC.Khosla FamilyD.CK12 Foundation34.What is true of CK12 Foundation?A.It paid teachers to write digital textbooks.B.It produced 16 digital textbooks.C.It is financed by California state government.D.It makes money through developing digital textbooks.35.According to Susan Martimo digital textbooks______.A.are not likely to have a widespread useB.will soon replace traditional onesC.are certain to be approved by school districtsD.will first be adopted by well-equipped schools36.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that______.A.the use of digital textbooks is not really freeB.schools are reluctant to print out copiesC.students need to pay for computersD.training teachers to use the textbook is not efficientPassage TwoDoctors in Britain are warning of an obesity time bomb，when children who are already overweight grow up. So，what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.The cheerful Mr. Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens, is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump (胖乎乎）一and happy. In 18th century paintings beauty is equated with rounded bodies and soft curves. But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.So what do you do? Diet? Not according to England’s chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, He says that physical activity is the key for reducing the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart disease as smoking.So，having bought some cross trainers，how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? Luckily for those who find treadmills (跑步机）tedious, the Health Development Agency believes that physical activity that fits into people’s lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms “are not making the nation fit,” and may even cause harm.There’s new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be bad for you. Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unaccustomed exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can adversely affect normal function in unfit people. The only people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.So,should we forget about gyms and follow some experts’ advice to increase exercise in ourdaily life? After all，getting off the bus a stop early and walking the rest of the way can't do any harm! One final thought. How come past generations lacked gym facilities but were leaner and fitter than people today?37.This passage is mainly about ______.A.increased risks for overweight peopleB.how to keep fit and avoid fatnessC.the dangers of exercise in the gymD.the benefit of a balanced diet38.What does “this expanding problem” (Para. 1) refer to?A.The obesity time bomb warned of by doctors.B.The slow growing up of overweight children.C.Too little exercise and too much diet.D.Neglect of the health issue by the government.39.Why does the author mention Mr. Pickwick in Charles Dickens’ novel?A.He was portrayed in an 18th century painting.B.He is the hero of a world famous novel.C.He is the image of being plump and happy.D.He suffered from heart disease and stroke.40.According to Sir Liam Donaldson what is the best way to avoid obesity?A.Being on diet.B.Giving up smoking.C.Doing physical activities.D.Being as inactive as possible.41.Which of the following is NOT recommended by the Health Development Agency?A.Going to the gym to walk on treadmills.B.Walking up escalators，dancing or gardening.C.Taking the stairs rather than the lift.D.Playing active games with your children.42.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that______.A.too much exercise may actually be bad for healthB.experts’ advice cannot be always followedC.moderate daily-life exercise can make us leaner and fitterD.past generations longed for gym facilities we have todayPassage ThreeLoneliness has been linked to depression and other health problems. Now, a study says it can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25% more likely to do the same.Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also grow like infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression.The new findings involved more than 5，000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.Researchers from the University of Chicago, Harvard and the University of California, San Diego, did the study. The findings appeared last month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about 17 days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about 5%, or two and a half days.Lonely people become less and less trusting of others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends and more likely that society will reject them.John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study. He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.The aim should be to aggressively create what he calls a “protective barrier” against loneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart.43.Besides loneliness, which of the following can also spread among people?A. Happiness.B. Friendship.C. Depression.D. Smoking.44.The Framingham Heart Study starting from 1948 ______.A.involved 5，000 patients of depressionB.expanded its research topicsC.identified loneliness as one key factor for heart diseaseD.examined the relationship between loneliness and depression45.Which of the following is true about the spread of loneliness?A.It is a common phenomenon among women.B.It leads to a gradual loss of friends.C.It is often found in the neighborhood.D.It ruins the relationships between close friends.46.Having a lonely friend, you are more likely to______.A.strengthen your friendshipB.develop new friendshipC.reduce the sense of lonelinessD.increase the sense of loneliness47.According to John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago, loneliness can______.A.result in aggressivenessB.cause people to be overprotectiveC.push people to the verge of povertyD.infect social networks48.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Loneliness is linked to depression.B.Loneliness can spread.C.Lonely people tend to grow fat.D.Lonely people need more friends.Passage FourSome 23 million additional U. S. residents are expected to become more regular users of the U. S. health care system in the next several years, thanks to the passage of health care reform. Digitizing medical data has been promoted as one way to help the already burdened system manage the surge in patients. But putting people’s health information in databases and online is going to do more than simply reduce redundancies. It is already shifting the very way we seek and receive health care.“The social dynamics of care are changing,” says John Gomez, vice president of Eclipsys，a medical information technology company. Most patients might not yet be willing to share their latest CT scan images over Facebook, he notes, but many parents post their babies’ ultrasound images, and countless patients nowadays use social networking sites to share information about conditions, treatments and doctors.With greater access to individualized health information—whether that is through a formal electronic medical record, a self-created personal health record or a quick instant messaging session with a physician the traditional roles of doctors and patients are undergoing a rapid transition.“For as long as we’ve known, health care has been ‘I go to the physician, and they tell me what to do，and I do it, ’”，says Nitu Kashyap, a physician and research fellow at the Yale Center for Medical Informatics. Soon more patients will be arriving at a hospital or doctor’s office having reviewed their own record, latest test results and recommended articles about their health concerns. And even more individuals will be able to skip that visit altogether, instead sending a text message or e-mail to their care provider or consulting a personal health record or smart-phone application to answer their questions.These changes will be strengthened by the nationwide shift to electronic medical records, which has already begun. Although the majority of U. S. hospitals and doctors; offices are still struggling to start the changeover, many patients already have electronic medical records—and some even partial access to them. The My Chart program, in use at Cleveland Clinic, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and other facilities, is a Web portal (门户）through which patients can see basic medical information as well as some test results.Medical data is getting a new digital life, and it is jump-starting a “fundamental change in how care is provided”，Gomez says.49.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A.Challenges Against Doctors and HospitalsB.The Future of Your Medical DataC.Benefits of the U. S. Health Care ReformD.How to Access and Share Your Health Information50.Putting patient information in databases and online______.A.enables more Americans to join the health care systemB.contributes to the passage of health care reformC.changes how people seek and receive health careD.increases the burden of the U. S. health care system51.According to John Gomez, many patients use social networking sites to______.A.change their social interactionsB.post their latest CT scan imagesC.show their babies’ recent picturesD.share information about their health care52.Which of the following is NOT changing the traditional roles of doctors and patients?A.An easier access to information online.B. A formal electronic medical record.C. A self-created personal health record.D. A quick instant-messaging session with a doctor.53.According to Nitu Kashyap, more patients in the future will______.A.refuse to follow their doctors’ adviceB.be more dependent on their doctorsC.have their health conditions examined through e-mailD.leave out their visit to doctors’ offices and hospitals54.It is stated in the passage that______.A.nationwide digitalization of medical data will begin soonB.most of U. S. hospitals and doctors are against the shiftC.patients are starting to make use of their electronic medical recordsD.patients are worried about the security of their health informationPassage FiveA metaphor is a poetic device that deals with comparison. It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a metaphor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any other type of figurative language. The reason for this is that poets compose their poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may or may not be our perception of love. Therefore, the poet’s job is to enable us to experience it, to feel it the same way as the poet does.Let’s analyze this remarkably unsophisticated metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose，first we must examine the characteristics of that flower. A rose is spectacular in its beauty, its petals (花辦）are nicely soft, and its smell is pleasing. It’s possible to say that a rose is actually a feast to the senses of sight, touch, and smell. The rose’s appearance seems to border on perfection, each petal seemingly symmetrical in form. Isn’t this the way one’s love should be? A loved one should be a delight to one’s senses and seem perfect. However, there is another dimension added to the comparison by using a rose. Roses have thorns. The poet wants to convey the idea that roses can be tricky. So can love, the metaphor tell us. When one reaches out with absolute trust to touch the object of his or her affection, ouch, thorn can cause great harm! “Be careful，” the metaphor warns: Love is a feast to the senses，but it can overwhelm us, and it can also hurt us and cause acute suffering. This is the poet's perception of love—an admonition (劝诚).What is the point? Just this: It took almost 14sentences to clarify what a simple metaphor communicates in only four words! That is the artistry and the joy of the simple metaphor.55.According to the passage，what is a metaphor?A. A contrast between two different things to create a vivid image.B. A comparison between two different objects with similar features.C. A description of two similar objects in a poetic way.D. A literary device specially employed in poetry writing.56.The main idea of this passage is that______.A. rose is a good image in poetryB.love is sweet and pleasingC.metaphor is a great poetic deviceD.metaphor is ambiguous57.It can be inferred from the passage that a metaphor is______.A. rich in meaningB. difficult to understandC. not precise enoughD. like a flower58.As is meant by the author thorns of a rose______.A.protect the rose from harmB.symbolize reduced loveC.represent objects of one’s affectionD.add a new element to the image of love59.The meaning of the love-is-a-rose metaphor is that______.A.love is true joyB.true love comes once in a lifetimeC.love is both good and bad experiencesD.love does not last long60.According to the passage, poetry is intended to ______.A. release angerB. entertain the readersC. reward the sensesD. express poets’ ideasPart Ⅳ Cloze (15 minutes，15 points，1 for each)Directions:In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage One“Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exercise.” said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While here‟s no question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you‟re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with thechallenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they couldn‟t get the job done.Stress that you can manage may also boost immune(免疫的)function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects believed they had control over the outcome. In the second, they weren‟t in control: They had to sit through a gory(血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did go on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin(免疫球蛋白)A,an antibody that‟s the body‟s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. “They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage,” says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.“Sustained stress is not good for you,” says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity (长寿) , “It‟s the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective. “31. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the benefits of manageable stressB. how to avoid stressful situationsC. how to cope with stress effectivelyD. the effects of stress hormones on memory32. The word “shun” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means _____.A. cut down onB. stay away fromC. run out ofD. put up with33. We can conclude from the study of the 158 nurses in 2001 that _____.A. people under stress tend to have a poor memoryB. people who can‟t get their job done experience more stressC. doing challenging work may be good for one‟s healthD. stress will weaken the body‟s defense against germs34. In the experiment described in Paragraph 3,the video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody because _____.A. the video was not enjoyable at allB. the outcome was beyond their controlC. they knew little about surgical proceduresD. they felt no pressure while watching the video35. Which of the following is Dr. Bruce McEwen inclined to emphasize by saying “But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain”?A. a person‟s memory is determined by the level of hormones in his body.B. stress hormones have lasting positive effects on the brain.C. short bursts of stress hormones enhance memory function.D. a person‟s memory improves with continued experience of stress.36. What does the author imply to the readers according to the passage?A. People should avoid stress just as they shun food, love or exercise.B. People should keep sustained stress which is good for our health.C. People should live without stress at all.D. People should not afraid of occasional stress which can be good for us.Passage TwoHe has been at the helm (IB) of the Securities and Exchange Commission for only three months, but WilliamDonaldson has given individual investors reason to believe that he will prove to be an effective champion of their interests as a vigilant regulator of the nation‟s financial markets. The challenges ahead remain daunting, but Mr. Donaldson is steadily restoring the agency‟s credibility in the wake of its disastrous stewardship by Harvey Pitt.The SEC. chairman passed his first .big test by persuading William McDonough, the respected president of the New York Federal Reserve, to run the new accounting oversight board created by Congress last summer. He has also opened an important inquiry into trading practices at the New York Stock Exchange. The commission has issued rules to tighten corporate boards‟ oversight over financial audits. Mr. Donaldson should now see that more is done to shore up shareholder democracy.A reassuring sign that there is a new sheriff(治安官)on Wall Street came in the aftermath of the recently announced landmark settlement with 10 brokerage(经纪人业务)firms over their tainted stock research. The SEC. chairman sternly rebuked Philip Purcell, the chief executive of Morgan Stanley, for trying to minimize the extent of his firm‟s involvement in the scandals. Mr. Donaldson, a former Wall Street banker himself, wrote a letter to Mr. Purcell describing concern over his “troubling lack of contrition”, and reminding him that Morgan could face further legal problems if it denied the settled charges.Besides being unusual, Mr. Donaldson‟s move was a powerful use of his office‟s bully pulpit (讲坛). With all the talk about whether the SEC. has enough material resources to pursue corporate malfeasance---the agency‟s budget is being increased significantly---it was easy in the Harvey Pitt era to forget that a strong SEC chairman can wield a great deal of moral authority. This is especially true given financial institutions absolute need to retain public trust.Mr. Donaldson should be ready to use his bully pulpit often. Wall Street is awash in a “troubling lack of contrition” for its past misdeeds.37. From the first sentence of paragraph one we can see that _____A. Mr. William Donaldson is a very capable chairman of the Securities and Exchange CommissionB. the Commission is on a boatC. Mr. William Donaldson is a steward of a sailing boatD. Mr. William Donaldson was once a sailing champion38. From the first paragraph we can infer that Mr. William Donaldson is _____.A. inexperienced as a stewardB. capable, alert and reliableC. not much better than Harry PittD.following the steps of Harry Pitt39. In line 6 paragraph 2, what does “shore up” possibly mean?A. strengthenB. lightenC. go to the upside of the shoreD. reduce40. From paragraph two we can see that _____.A. Mr. William Donaldson asked Mr. William McDonough to take the exam instead of himselfB. Mr. William McDonough was asked to do what the Congress wanted him toC. what Mr. William Donaldson has done might violate shareholder democracyD. Mr. William Donaldson has somewhat exceeded his authority41. Which of the following statements agrees with the facts appear in the passage?A. As a former banker Mr. William Donaldson sought to do others down.B. Being the SEC chairman, Mr. William Donaldson is somewhat warlike.C. Mr. William Donaldson goes to the church regularly.D. Mr. William Donaldson has done all he can to rebuild the credibility of the SEC.42. Which of the following will you choose as the title of the passage?A. New Sheriff of Wall Street.B. A Careerist.C. A Former Banker Gets on in Life.D. A Man Who Knows No Fear.Passage ThreeThere is no question that raising teenagers is a challenge no matter how many parents are living in the home. Particularly challenging are the ages between 12 and 16, which are marked by mood swings, defiant attitudes, and attempts to push the limits set by their parents. During this time, teens are trying their hardest to gain adult independence, which is a normal part of the natural growing process.So, we accept this as a time to help them learn lessons and find their way to adulthood, despite the fact that it sometimes makes us feel like we are raising aliens from another planet! Two parents in the household can be a definite plus during these years, especially if both are healthy and loving. In single parent homes, a healthy and loving atmosphere is also a key ingredient to raising responsible teens. Also, teens are often masters at pitting (使人相斗) their parents against one another, so when they have divorced parents living in different households, it can be extra difficult to co-parent with effectiveness.What can single parents do to make the teens in their homes more pleasant? The suggestion is to create realistic and enforceable boundaries. Let your kids know that you will negotiate boundaries every six months, for instance. Let them come up with ideas so that they will be more apt to comply. The topics to discuss may be such as how they spend their time after school, how they spend time with their friends and how should be their dress code and their hairstyles, and so on.However, when it comes to alcohol, drugs, smoking and other obvious health risks, there should be no negotiation at all. I never give them permission to drink—and that was final. Let them know they are responsible for their own behavior and should take themselves out of situations that could lead to trouble.A week before your six-month meeting with your teen, call the other parent and talk about how things have been going in each household. Most of the time, there is a wide range of healthy variations in parenting styles. Explain to your teens that when they enter the workforce, they will work with different supervisors, so operating under different household guidelines should be respected and will be good training for their future.43. The first paragraph tells us that _____.A. it is necessary for the parents to bring the teenagers to a doctor if they have an unsteady moodB. raising children from 12 to 16 is an especially difficult task for parents as a wholeC. it is not normal for teenagers to try to gain adult independenceD. in raising children, the more adults there are in a family, the better44. In the second paragraph, the author implies that _____.A. on their way to adulthood, some children just behave like foreignersB. only in single parent homes, a healthy and loving air is a very important factor in raising teensC. raising teenagers is a difficult task especially in a single parent familyD. many parents divorced as a result of their children‟s pitting45. What is the best way to make the teens more pleasant?A. To distinguish the responsibilities of the parents from those of the children.B. To be more tolerant to them.C. To establish the highest mark children can get.D. To discuss with them the rules of behavior they have to comply.46. By using the sentence “that is final”, the author _____A. shows his firm standpoint on these mattersB. implies that there was to be a sports meet.C. shows that it is the last time for them to discuss this matterD. shows that he likes to use sports terms47. Which of the following statement is NOT TURE?A. A week before the six-month meeting with the teen, negotiate with your ex-husband or ex-wife.B. Explain to your teen that he or she should respect different guidelines in different households.C. In single families the teen actually enjoys the same rights as ones in other family.D. The dress code and hairstyles of the teens should be no negotiation at all.48. What is the main idea of the passage?A. To teach the single parent how to raise teens successfully.B. To show how difficult it is to raise teens.C. To show to the children that following different rules in different homes is helpful for their future work.D. To show the single parent that he or she should make friends with the other parent.Passage FourShe was slim and he liked her that way. So he called a lawyer. The result was a contract. According to the document, the fresh-faced bride agreed to pay a fine for each pound she gained in weight, the money refundable upon its loss. The paper signed, and the wedding went on.This is a prenuptial (婚前的) agreement—one more indication of the strange pass of marriage in this most transactional decade. You are welcome to marriage, contractual style, where increasingly detailed legal documents spell out everything from who‟s going to do the dishes to who‟s going to get the house when you split.This is family planning taken to extreme. Once employed solely by the rich, second-timers and the old industrialist carrying off the latest young cookie, the prenuptial agreement—a written pact between a couple outlining the financial obligations in the event of divorce—is becoming commonplace in a litigious (爱打官司的) Disillusioned and materialistic age in which one in every two marriages is projected to end in divorce.The only question is: What about love? When asked whether anyone believes in Cupid (爱神)anymore, Dr. Michael Vincent Miller says,” Given a century that is full of sexual liberation, computer-dating services and so on, one feels tempted to reply, …only in a mood of desperate nostalgia(怀旧)‟.”“Pre-nups” (prenuptial agreements) do assume negativity. Founded on disillusionment, they cannot be separated from the high divorce rate in the United States. The result, argues Miller, is a kind of defending mentality. “We‟ve gotten good at managing finiteness, fail-ure and trouble with a sort of …What‟ s yours is yours and what‟s mine is mine‟s realism‟. We‟ve seen it isn‟t all about love. We‟ve seen there‟s power politics in there—a fight for control, and when you‟ve got those things, you‟re halfway to lawyers and money.”In other ways, however, the compacts embody positive, even idealistic thinking about marriage, love and relations, a law scholar Isabel Marcus believes. Marcus says, “Contracts could spell the end of romantic love as salvation. They say love exists, but that it‟s best accompanied by good, hard thinking about equitability(平等) .”By writing a contract, the couple gains control of its marriage. “What‟s good is it contributes to honesty; what‟s unfortunate is the idea that any contract can govern your emotions,” says the author of the book “The Nature of Love.”49. The scene described in the first paragraph _____.A. is a part of a comedy filmB. is something rareC. is something real and becoming common dailyD. is ridiculous50. According to paragraph 2, which of the following statement is NOT true?A. Pre-nups was once employed solely by the rich, second-timers and the old industrialist.B. The prenuptial agreement is written just in case the couple may divorce one day.C. The divorce rates are high today.D. It is a romantic and fantastic age in which people still believing in marriage and love.51. According to the passage, people _____.A. know more about how to protect their interestsB. are enjoying more equality in their marriagesC. believe the law undoubtedlyD. have a high divorce rate52. The phenomenon of pre-nups _____.A. shows the improvement of people‟s lifeB. shows that people nowadays are more realistic than romanticC. is the product of women liberationD. shows that people don‟t believe each other53. Some people argue that pre-nups are positive because they _____.A. guarantee the equality of everyoneB. make love accompanied by a balanced relation between the twoC. guarantee the freedom and equal rights of womenD. make marriages suit the modern times better54.

The rapid growth in world trade and the emergence of new national entities in the last 30 years have further emphasized the role of international shipping. Because of the generally free environment in which it has operated, the industry is highly mobile and flexible--- characteristics that, together with technological progress, have facilitated the rapid growth in world trade.In recent years, however, there have been several technological and institutional developments that are likely to have major efforts on the industry. One of the latter is the aggregation of conventions and practices known as the Law of the Sea, which has been discussed in the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea since 1958. The third UNCLOS began in 1974 and concluded when a treaty was issued on April 30, 1982. The treaty will enter in force when 60 nations have ratified it. How soon that will happen is, of course, not possible to say. What can be said is that a new legal structure governing the oceans appears to be evolving, with traditional principles giving way to new concepts. Since the environment in which an industry operates determines its structure and mode of operations, international shipping has been molded by the conventional principles governing the use of the oceans as highways and will be affected by shifts in the international climate and changes in the Law of Sea.Ocean shipping, as we know it today, has developed under the concepts of “freedom of the seas” and limited territorial waters with the rights of “innocent passage.” Clearly, a new Law of the Sea derived from a reinterpretation of these concepts will significantly change the atmosphere in which the shipping industry operates and, accordingly, dictate revised policies and practices for both industry and public authorities. Minimally, ship operations must consider changes in the definitions of what constitutes the high seas. They must consider the corresponding changes in the jurisdiction of shipping lanes and coastal and open waters compliance with rules for environmental protection; and vessel traffic controls in some areas.55.
