In the video, the band members ride a New York City subway while performing entirelyon iPhones, with applications linked with mini-battery powered broadcasters for each instrument.Singer Luck White says the production was a top-secret operation."We didn't tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from management, from everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put iton YouTube,"explained White.It has been watched by more than 2 million on YouTube since debuting(首次露面) last week. "All I've wanted to do for the past few days is just stare at the YouTube page and keep refreshing it to see how far it will go, " said Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band."The Internet changed everything,"Espiritu said. "It's kind of an exciting time because it forces everyone to adjust and be creative and find new ways to get your name out there."The idea for the video came from Espiritu's 24-year-old brother Benjamin, who's hoping to go to film school. " I've seen a lot of these music applications, and they're kind of fascinating to me,"Benjamin Espiritu said. " I thought: 'What would happen if iPhones kind of took over the world? If there could actually be a band that played straight through with iPhones, what would that look like?'" So they shot(拍摄 ) the video —with iPhones also serving as video cameras. The band also tried Union Square but were stopped during playing because they didn't have a permit."The YouTube views are translating into album sales,"Espiritu said. "We've seen the jump." Their album has been in the top 10albums on iTunes.Will their fans start cheering for iPhone-only performances? "We've gotten the most exposure(曝光 )and teh most fans that we've ever gotten through this, so I wouldn't be surprised if fans are goingto want to see that.: Espritu said.1.Who first saw the ban's video to the song Take Me Out?A. Their friendsB. Their familyC. The people onlineD. Their management.2.What did Espiritu mean by saying "The YouTube views are translating into album sales"?A. The You Tube views make the album sales increase.B. The band has changed the video on the YouTube into an album.C.People need to pay for the video if they view it on the YouTube.D. People who have viewed the video on the YouTube should buy an album.3.What can we learn from the text?A. It was Espiritu who came up with teh idea of the video.B. Benjamin thought iPhones would take over the world.C. The band also managed to shoot the video in the Union Square.D. Espiritu thought it was possible fro their fans to prefer iPhone-only performances.4.What would be the best title for this text?A. Atomic Tom's iPhone Subway PerformanceB.Take Me Out— Atomic Tom's New SongC.A band's performance through YouTubeD.A Band's iPhone single T ake Me Out Hits BigBThe British coloney(殖民地)of Bermude is a top summertime escape. Yet, even through October, Bermuda isn't ready to stop for the winter. During this month, world-class festivals on teh island keep things lively and the weather remains comfortable enough for Bermuda shorts and bathing suits.In October, Bermuda hosts two major festivals — the Bermuda Music Festival and the BermudaCulinary Arts( 厨艺 ) Festival. The 10 th anniversary Bermuda Music Festival begins October 5 and features three days of performances at the Royal Naval Dockyard( 皇家海军造船厂)on Bermuda's West End. Featured main stage performers include Joss Stone, Pattie Labelle, and Al Green, and a second stage spotlights local Bermudian artists. General admission tickets start at $60 for on e day or $160 for a three-day pass.Starting October 21, the Culinary Arts Festival brings some of North America's top chefs to the island for four days of food and wine tastings, conferences and cooking competitions. Participating chefs includeTodd English and Michael Lomonaco, among others. Three-day festival passes start at $649 per person, but you can also buy separate tickets for individual events.Even if you don't attend one of the festivals, there's still plenty to do. With mostly sunny days and temperatures averaging aroung 79 degrees, the weather is just right for participating in Bermuda's two favorite pastimes —golf and tennis. With fewer visitors on the island than during the summer, you may have an easier time getting the best times or a spot on the courts. It's also still warm enough to enjoy the island'spink sand beaches and go swimming, because the water keeps the summer's heat longer than the air. Of course, you can always shop in the city of Hamilton's upscale(质优价高的 ) small goods arts and crafts shops.5.The Culinary Arts Festival lasts _____.A. from October 5 to 7B. from October 5 to 8C. from October 21 to 24D. from October 21 to 256.The best time to travel to Bermuda is ______A. springB.

Hu Zongxian, the Zhejiang governor of the Ming Dynasty, placed the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding isletswithin China ’maritimes defense system. It demonstrates that the islands have been within China’ s maritime defense region since the Ming Dynasty.Japan claimed sovereignty（主权） during the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, seizing the islands byillegal means.The Cairo Declaration issued after World War II stipulated( 规定 ) that all territory taken by Japan illegally, including China’ s northeast, Taiwan and Penghu islets, must beto Chinareturned.In August 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender under the terms of the Potsdam Declaration. The declaration laid out that Japan must return Taiwan, the Diaoyu Islands andsurrounding islets to China.But the islands came under US control after 1945. In 1951, Japan and the US signed an illegal treaty inSan Francisco without inviting China. The islands were then "entrusted" to Japan according to the treaty.On September 18th, 1951, then Chinese Premier and Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai made a solemn(庄严的 ) statement on behalf of the Chinese government that the Treaty of Peace with Japan signed in San Francisco was illegal , and would not be recognized without the participation and signing of the PeopleRepublic of China.In June 1971, Japan and the United States signed an agreement to hand over Okinawa to Japan. TheDiaoyu Islands were mapped into the handover area.China ’ s Foreign Ministry announced on December 30th 1971 that such a move was "totally illegal"and reiterated( 重申 ) that the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding islets were "an integral part of the Chineseterritory".第二节 (共 5 小题 ;每题 2 分,满分 10 分)依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly.Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions:a.Do you move your lips when reading silently?b.Do you point to those words with your fingers as you read?c.Do you move your head from side to side as you read?d.Do you read one word at a time?If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and stop them moving.If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still.If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance when your eyes are traveling across the lines of words.Even if you do read fairly fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read ingroups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster.51. While reading, you should ____.A. not hold your books with your handsB. not keep your head stillC. not use your finger to point to the wordsD. do all of the things mentioned in A, B and C52. You may hold your fingers over your lips when you read so as _____.A. to feel whether your lips move or notB. to tell others to be silentC. to keep yourself from talking to othersD. to hold a piece of paper between them53. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, ____.A. you need to read the words outB. you need look at every word carefullyC. you need to remember every wordD. you need to read several words at a time54. If you can read fairly fast now, ____.A. you don’t need to learn to read fasterB. you can learn to read even fasterC. you can go on reading like thatD. you can enjoy readingBSchool tragedyA man wounded eight school children to death and injured five others while they were waiting at their school gate in Nanping City, Fujian Province, on the morning of March 23.Police arrested(put somebody into prison) 43-year-old suspect(嫌犯) Zheng Mingsheng, a former community doctor in Nanping. Zheng is a native of Nanping and used to work at the Mazhan Community clinic(诊所), before quitting his job in June 2009.The local prosecutor(检查官) said on March 24, Zheng, who showed no sign of any mental illness in conversation, told investigators(people who were looking into the case) that he developed hatred(feeling of hating somebody or something) toward society after failing to find a job and breaking up with his girlfriend.A Spring FestivalWater-Sprinkling Festival, which comes in mid-April, is the new year of the Dai ethnic people(傣族人) in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. In face of the recent serious droughtdisaster, there have been calls for calling off this year’s festival celebrations.Droughts and floods are not new things. Still, the Water-Sprinkling Festival keeps going on year by year. Indeed, this is a serious drought, but that is not a reason to call off this year’s celebrations. After all, it is an important event for Dai people to carry forward their culture.Of course, the drought will affect the celebrations to some extent. Given the seriousness of the disaster, this year not so much water is available for sprinkling. So many Dai people suggest only symbolic activities be held. They also call for donations to be made and prayer ceremonies for rain around the festival. This is expected to be a special Water-Sprinkling Festival.Coalmine DisasterA coalmine operated by Dongxing Coalmining Co. in Xinmi, Henan Province, where an underground fire killed 25 miners on March 15 became a public concern.A local work safety regulator said the mine should have been going through technical reforms, but restarted production without a license.After the tragedy, the police detained(扣押) an investor and several senior managing persons of the coalmine. Four officials who are believed to have failed to perform their managing roles effectively, including a vice mayor of Xinmi, were removed from their posts.55.The suspect created a bloody case mainly because _______.A. he caused a medical accident during an operation in the clinic and was firedB. his girlfriend left him and married a teacher in that schoolC. he became mentally disturbed after a set of failures in financeD. he hated the whole society deeply after a series of failure in personal life56. What happened to Dai people this year? ________.A. Their Water-Sprinkling festival was called off thanks to the drought in YunnanB. They had to celebrate their annual Spring Festival simply without enough waterC. People throughout our country only donated to those earthquake-stricken areas in QinghaiD. Their prayers for rain didn’t come true57. _______ probably led to Dongxing Coalmine disaster according to paragraph 2.A. the restarting production without necessary technical and safety gurantees (保障)B. an underground fireC. the officials’ failure to inspect the safety conditions of the coalmineD. the bad management of Dongxing Coalmining Co. in Xinmi, Henan Province58. Where can the news possibly be taken from?A. A magazine about natural disastersB. A newspaper on culture and customC. A news review magazineD. A government reportC.Today we’ll tell you about some new understanding of why cutting the main branch of a plant or tree can lead to better development.The findings are from researchers on two_continents.Professor Prezemyslaw Prusinkiewicz of the University of Calgary in Canada led the research with scientists from Britain and Sweden.Their study appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Researchers have known since the 1930s that the actively growing tip of a plant produces a hormone(荷尔蒙)called auxin(生长素)．This hormone flows down the main stem.Scientists say the auxin has an indirect effect on buds(芽)on the side of the stem to prevent branching.These buds themselves also produce auxin.The research suggests that to grow，they have to be able to export the hormone into the main stem.But the flow from the stem tip prevents them from doing this.The researchers wanted to find out how this blocking happens.Professor Prusinkiewicz is on leave in Australia，but he sent us an e－mail suggesting a simple way to understand the process.Think of a major road crowded with traffic.So many cars are on the main road that the cars on the side roads cannot enter.The stem is like the crowded main road.The new research shows that the buds on the side cannot export their auxin into the main stem because it is too full.But if that main shoot is pruned(修剪)，other buds below it can start exporting.They are no longer prevented from growing.Ottoline Leyser from the University of York says that after a plant is pruned，all the inhibited(被抑制的)shoot tips compete with each other to grow.In doing this，the branches influence each other’s growth.Nearby shoot tips are more likely to affect each other than those that are far apart from each other.Professor Leyser says the strongest branches grow best，wherever they may be on the plant.The study found that the main shoot grows the best of all not because of its position at the top of the plant，but mostly because it got there first.59.The underlined part “two continents” in Paragraph 2 refers to“__________”．A．Asia and AfricaB．Africa and EuropeC．North America and EuropeD．Australia and Europe60．Professor Prusinkiewicz compares the cars on the side roads to __________.A．plant stems B．plant budsC．the leaves of a plant D．the roots of a plant61．To make the buds on the side of the stem to grow better，the main shoot should __________.A．be cut offB．be protectedC．be watered as much as possibleD．be given much auxin62．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?A．Researchers have recently found out that the growing tip of a plant produces hormones.B．Auxin has a direct effect on buds to keep branches from growing.C．Buds on the side of the stem can’t produce hormones.D．In order to grow，the buds on the side of the stem export the hormones into the main stem.63．Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A．Why shoot tips grow fast?B．When and how to prune plants?C．Scientists help cut the mystery behind pruningD．The great scientist—Prezemyslaw PrusinkiewiczDThe success of Pickwick Papers made Dickens very popular.He suddenly found himself at twenty-four,the most famous novelist of his day.Busy as his social life was,he worked on twonovels at the same time—Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers.He was particularly proud of Pickwick,which was a huge success an d was regarded as a comedy masterpiece.“If I were to live a hundred years and write novels in each,I should never be so proud of any of them as I am of Pickwick.”It has been said of Dickens that he gripped(控制)the imagination of his readers because his imagination gripped himself.The people in his works were so real that they could make him laugh or cry.When writing Oliver Twist he said that he could not rest until Fagin,the wrong-doer,had been hanged.Dicken’s marriage to Catherine Hagarth,with whom he had nine children,ended unhappily in 1858.He started to travel about giving readings of his works.His interest in theatre gave his novels the qualities that made them suitable for reading aloud on the stage.A tiring travel to the United States affected his health.On June 9,1870,when he was working on a new novel,he died,as he had wished.He said he wanted to die working.64.It seems clear that Dickens became a famous novelist ______.A.because of his social workB.with the success of PickwickC.because he was writing two novels at the same timeD.when he began to give readings of his works65.According to this passage we know that Dickens ______.A.was only interested in writing novelsB.didn’t like Oliver TwistC.wished to live a hundred years and write three novels in eachD.didn’t think he could write a better novel than Pickwick Papers in his life66.From the passage we can see that Fagin must be ______.A.a person in real lifeB.a character in Oliver TwistC.a character in Pickwick PapersD.one of Dick ens’ works67.Which of the following is true?A.Dickens had always enjoyed his marriage to Catherine Hagarth.B.Dickens was a successful actor.C.Dickens’ death had little to do with his hard work.D.Dickens had wished to die in the course of
