A giant set of Olympic rings, made up of 20,000 flowers, were unveiled at Kew Gardens in west London. And the motto for the London Olympics has been announced as “Inspire a generation.”London 2012 chairman Seb Coe announced the motto. He said: “It is everything that we have been saying since we started this extraordinary journey.” Coe added that the motto is also a call for athletes to come to the U.K. to perform at their very best and inspire the world.The preparations for the Games are proceeding according to planbeing both on time and within budget, according to London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton. Deighton said that millions of people around the U.K. are getting ready to celebrate the biggest event in sport. “Eight million of the 11 million tickets have been sold to people in Britain and we are sure that Brits will get hold of a chunk of the other three million too.”Many of the test events have already been held at the Olympic venues. And a bigger one will come on the first weekend of May in the Olympic Park.Coe has been mentioned by the British media and British bookmakers as among the contenders to light the flame, although his position as organizing committee leader always made that seem unlikely. Five-time rowing gold medalist Steve Redgrave remains the betting favorite.56. Who is most likely to be chosen to light the flame at the opening ceremony? A. Steve Redgrave B. Deighton C. Seb Coe D. Denis Oswald57. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?. A. The preparations for the London Games are quite smooth. B.

In response to the 1,300th anniversary of the poets birth, the meme, “Du Fu is busy,” is spreading through the Internet and turning the iconic(偶像的) poet into a figure of fun.A meme is a cultural phenomenon. Its an idea or image that somehow strikes a chord with Internet users and prompts them to comment on it, change it, or use it in different situations. In Dus case, the meme is a picture of the poet taken from a textbook. The picture shows a very serious Du sitting on a rock, clothed in loose robes. His chin is pointed resolutely upward and his eyes gaze calmly into the distance. It is a picture of a man with a great mind and a heroic spirit.That image is changed in the meme. Du Fu is now seen holding a gun or listening to an iPod or dressed as a Japanese cartoon character. In todays world, it seems fewer people respect great minds or heroic spirits.This is sad because it means we are losing our sense of idealism. Du Fu led a life of poverty and humiliation. I visited his thatched cottage in Chengdu and imagined the hardship he endured: the loneliness, the cold, and the hunger. Yet, hardship didnt kill his spirit, and his great poetry reflects his inner strength.Internet users may find that giving Du Fu the business is entertaining, but it cannot diminish his greatness. And that enduring image of greatness is the one that truly matters.59. which expression can be used to replace the underlined part in Para. 1? A. getting along very well with his business B. getting busy in doing his business C. becoming a successful businessman D. being made to look foolish60. Which of the following pictures is mentioned in the passage? A. B. C. D. 61. Whats the authors attitude towards the meme, “Du Fu is busy”? A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral.62. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Meme is more and more popular. B. Du Fu is no longer a famous poet. C. Du Fu is getting the business. D. Du Fu has become a new hero.CPineapple Awards Celebrate Fruits of ScienceWe live in a world of wonder but not in a world of magic. And understanding that world does not mean learning a few tricks at Hogwarts. Instead, it means understanding how important science is in our daily lives.Just take a moment and look around your home. The electric lamp on your desk, the silicon microchip in your mobile phone, your mothers laundry detergent; they are all the results of science.To get people more aware of these wonders that surround us, , a science website, and Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Museum have established the “Pineapple Science Awards.” The awards are to be given annually and recognize recent achievements in chemistry, physics, medicine and biology, mathematics and psychology. There are also two special awards for discoveries that are imaginative, fun and thought-provoking.Zhou Xinyues research certainly met those criteria. The Sun Yat-Sen University professor was among the first group of Pineapple winners. She conducted an experiment that showed that counting money can ease pain. Professor Zhou had people count money and then dipped their hands into hot water. It turns out that after flipping through a brick of RMB, people can keep their hands in hot water for a longer time. I suppose this proves that although money cant buy you happiness, it can certainly make your life less painful.If that sounds a bit frivolous, its all in keeping with the spirit of the awards. They are intended to be light-hearted. That is why the pineapple was chosen as the awards symbol. Ji Shisan, the founder of , said, “This nutritive fruit has a bright color and pleasing taste while shaped in a strange way, which indicates the awards are pleasing, interesting, nourishing, and a bit strange.”Pineapple winner Zhou Xinyue added, “Some research topics seem to be weird but actually have deep meaning, which inspires us in a different way. The topics might be funny, but the research method should be serious and scientific.”Are you interested in science? Then reach for the sky. You might end up with a pineapple in your hands.63. The awards recognize achievements in following fields EXCEPT_. A. chemistry B. biology C. psychology D. art64. The examples in Para. 2 are to _. A. show how important science is in our daily lives B. prove learning a few tricks at Hogwarts is necessary in our daily lives C. get people more aware of these wonders that surround us D. indicate that some research topics seem to be weird and have little meaning 65. From Para. 5 we can know _. A. whether the pineapple was chosen as the awards symbol B. how the pineapple was chosen as the awards symbol C. why the pineapple was chosen as the awards symbol D. why the pineapple looks so strange66. According to Zhou Xinyue, _. A. if you reach for the sky you might end up with a pineapple in your hands B. the topics sounding funny doesnt mean the research method isnt serious or scientific C. although the pineapple looks strange, it has a bright color and pleasing taste D. counting money can ease pain and money can buy you happiness DAt the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants' impact on the economy and the reality?There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the strain that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There's some truth to all these explanations, but they aren't quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what's going on, consider the way immigration's impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businesses in California. Granted, these producers' savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffer most from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of American high-school dropouts by 9% between 1980-2000.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the fiscal (財政的)burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants' access to certain benefits.The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect(凈效應(yīng)) of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected say, low-skilled workers, or California residents the impact isn't all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions," says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. "But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one." Too bad most people don't realize it.67. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Whether immigrants are good or bad for the economy has been puzzling economists.B. The American economy used to thrive on immigration but now it's a different story.C. The consensus among economists is that immigration should not be encouraged.D. The general public thinks differently from most economists on the impact of immigration.68. In what way does the author think ordinary Americans benefit from immigration?A. They can access all kinds of public services.B. They can get consumer goods at lower prices.C. They can mix with people of different cultures.D. They can avoid doing much of the manual labor.69. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “curb” in paragraph four? A. strengthen B. deny C. encourage D. limit70. What is the irony about the debate over immigration?A. People care too much about something of small impact.B. Those who are opposed to it turn out to benefit most from it.C. Even economists can't reach a consensus about its impact. D. There is no essential difference between seemingly opposite opinions.任務(wù)型閱讀（每空格1個單詞）“HEARTLESS”its not usually a word you would want to use to describe a person. But having his heart removed was what saved Craig Lewis lifeand what made him the first living “heartless” man.The 55-year-old had been dying of heart disease. He was told that he only had 12 hours to live. That was when Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier, two doctors from the Texas Heart Institute, US, decided to try something new. They removed Lewis heart and replaced it with an artificial (人造的) one. Less than a week after the operation, Lewis was able to sit up in bed and speak to his family, according to Reuters.Lewis kept on living like a normal person, with only one differencehe didnt have a heartbeat. The human heart usually pumps blood through our bodies by beating regularly. By contrast, this artificial heart pushes the blood forward with two moving blades(槳葉). If y
