Brazil is a federation that consists of twenty-six states and one federal district. The biggest majority of Brazil’s population belongs to the Christian religion and almost all of them are Catholics. This is something Brazil inherited(继承) being Portugal’s colony(殖民地).
Historically, the country was a colony claimed by people from Portugal and this made Portuguese the official language. The Portuguese reached Brazil in 1500 and until that moment it was inhabited by semi-nomadic(半游牧的) people. The Portuguese changed Brazil into a country of slaves until 1800, when Maria I of Portugal came to live to Brazil. The Queen did not stay long in Brazil, but during the 20 years of royal presence a lot of changes occurred: commercial ports to United Kingdom were opened; Brazil stopped being isolated(孤立) from other countries. So at the moment of getting the independence on the 7th of September, 1822, Brazil already had the potential to develop. The Brazilian Empire, Pedro I, abolished slavery in 1888 in the face of Princess Isabel. A lot of European people started coming to Brazil and the industry of the country started working. In the 19th and the 20th century as it has been said above foreign people immigrated(移民) to Brazil and basically 5 million European and Japanese people became the residents of Brazil. The beginning of the 20th century was especially marked by the immigration of a lot of Asian people: Japanese, Korean and Chinese immigrants. As a matter of fact Japanese people do not immigrate a lot, and the fact that the Brazilian-Japanese people are the largest Japanese minority in the world does astonish greatly.
The majority of the cultural inherits of Brazil are actually Portuguese, due to the fact that Brazil was Portugal’s colony for a very long time. The southern states mainly consist of European population and the north and the northeast consist of a mixed population including Africans, Amerindians and Europeans. Most of this population is Roman Catholic. No other country in the world has the same amount of Catholics. The modern tendency of Brazil is the growing number of people calling themselves Protestants. Around 7.4% of the population don’t believe any god. Some Brazilians, especially in the northern states are mixed Africans who prefer following the traditional African religions. Only 1.8% of the population chose Buddhism, Islam or Judaism.
Though Brazil always tried to maintain democracy, it was failed several times by the dictatorship(独裁) of Getulo Vargas. This fact could not affect the political situation in the country.
61. Brazil was ruled by Portuguese about ______.
A. 22 years B. 300 years C. 322 years D. 328 years
62.Who might block the development of Brazil?
A. Maria I B. Pedro I C. immigrants D. Getulo Vargas
63. The writer mainly tells us the ______ of Brazil in the passage.
A. religion B. history C. culture D. political situation
64.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Brazil was isolated from other countries when Maria I stayed there.

C. Brazil has the largest population of Catholics in the world.
D. Some people in Brazil don’t believe any god.

A. western culture B. modern culture C. traditional culture D. mixed culture

The United States Congress is responsible for making and approving federal laws—rules that everyone in the country must follow.But exactly how do those laws get made? The process is not easy,and it takes a long time.
A law begins when someone puts forward an idea.The idea can come from anyone,but it has to get to a U.S.lawmaker who wants it to become legislation.In time,the idea is further developed into a written proposal,called a bill.
Then,a member of Congress officially proposes the bill.After the bill is introduced,it is sent to a small group of lawmakers,called a“committee”.Sometimes committee members seek more information about the proposal by holding hearings.Sometimes the committee changes the bill.Sometimes it decides not to take any action.In that case,we say lawmakers“table”the bill,or let it“die in committee”.
But now and then,the bill is offered to lawmakers not on the committee.Those lawmakers debate the bill further.They might change the bill again.Finally,the full House or Senate votes on the bill.If it does not earn the majority of votes,the bill does not advance.
Finally,the agreed-upon bill is sent to the president.If the president signs it,the bill becomes a law.If the president does nothing and Congress is officially meeting,the bill becomes a law.But if the president does nothing and Congress is not in session,the bill does not pass.Or the president can officially reject the bill.If that happens,the bill is not stopped.Instead,it is returned to both the Senate and the House.If two-thirds of the senators and two-thirds of the House members approve the bill once again,even with the president objecting,they turn the bill into a law.
1.Who is the first to propose a bill?
A. A lawyer.
B. A citizen.
C. A member of Congress.
D. A committee member.
2.When does a bill finally become a law?
A. After it is sent to a committee.
B. When the president signs it.
C. After it returns to the Congress.
D. While Congress is not in session.
3.What can be inferred from the text?
A. Not every bill can be turned into a law.
B. Anybody can put forward a proposal.
C. If“tabled”,the bill has to be voted on.
D. Once proposed,the bill can't be changed.

The United States federal government had two young men in the state of Tennessee arrested on October 22 on unknown charges.
In court documents published on Monday, it came to light that the men had discussed attacking an African – American school and killing 14 of them.
Another crime was about planning to murder Presidential candidate Barack Obama.According to their affidavits (口供), the suspects’ “final act of violence” would be like this: when they attacked Obama they would wear white suits and top hats and drive “their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows.”
The two suspects are Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Arkansas and Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee.According to the court papers, they met last month over the Internet through a friend.Schlesselman and Cowart are believed to share “very strong views” about White Power.

Cowart also had a MySpace page on which photos of guns were presented under a heading of “My Guns”.On his page he wrote, “Better to die quick fighting on your feet than to live forever begging on your knees.”
Some have questioned the pair's ability to carry out the charged plan, but authorities have been very concerned about Obama as the first black presidential candidate from a major party.
“We honestly don't know if they had the ability or the skill to carry out the kind of plan that they talked about.” said Malcolm Wiley, of the United Satates Secret Service in an interview with The New York Times.“But we take any threat seriously no matter how big or how small it is.”
Cowart and Schlesselman are scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursady.

Imagine that the genome (基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book, or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is an enormous document. A huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus (核) of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.
The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor (比喻), It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of letters into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters. Genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters, And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子), The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.
1.How do human genomes read according to the passage?
A. Only from left to right. B. Only from right to left.
C. From both directions at the same time D. From one direction at a time
2.We can learn from the passage that the human genome ______.
A. is as long as the River Danube
B. can be easily placed on the head of a pin
C. is coded with and alphabet of four letters
D. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself
3.It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for ______.
A. specialists in the field B. general readers
C. natural scientists D. readers with academic background
4.The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is ______.
A. to focus on the differences between the two
B. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two
C. to simplify the concept of the human genome
D. to give an exact description of the human genome

Laziness is a state of inaction. It is something that you do, not something that you are. Being lazy means you have no motivation to do anything. Many people make the mistake that they view themselves as lazy.
Lazy people are often seen as useless. They are the ones who don’t do anything. They can be seen as underachievers or even bums(废物). This can be a child or an adult. You can view a student who never studies as lazy. You can see an employee who doesn’t do his work as lazy. In all of these cases, what the lazy person is doing is being lazy. But are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy?
There is a huge different between saying you act lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. One is suggesting that your laziness is temporary while the other suggests that it’s permanent. This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t; they simply are people who are temporarily acting that way.
So that causes a person to be inactive? The answer is a lack of goals. If you give someone a good enough reason to do something, they will do it. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do something. Lazy students don’t study because they don’t see the point in studying. If you give them a reason, a strong enough reason, they will take action.
For example, if you are too lazy to go to the gym, would you go if someone offered you a million dollars to go? If you are too lazy to go to clean out the garage, would someone pointing a gun to your head help you take action? The reason can be positive or negative as long as it’s strong enough to induce(引起)action.
To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is to help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards a certain goal.
1.According to the passage, who can be viewed as acting lazy?
A. A student who always cheats out the garage.
B. A husband who never cleans out the garage.
C. A clerk who si always scolded for being useless.
D. A mother who doesn’t feel like cooking on Sunday.
2.The main reason why people are not active is that___________.
A. they are aimless
B. they lack enough money
C. they have too many negative feelings
D. they find no point in learning new things
3.The purpose of the writing is to help readers___________.
A. to recognize one’s weakness
B. to see laziness in a different way
C. to have a clear idea about what a habit is
D. to inspire students to be hard-working
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Being lazy and cat lazy
B. Laziness and motivation
C. Temporary and permanent.
D. Being positive and negative

Attitude is an internal(内在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.
The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas—all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.
Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.
Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.
1.According to the passage, we know attitudes _________.
A. are largely affected by one’s behavior
B. come from different situations in one’s life
C. remain unchanged in one’s daily life
D. could be chosen according to one’s will
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?
A. Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.
B. Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea.
C. Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.
D. Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.
3.The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show ________.
A. particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action
B. people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds
C. an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily
D. people often make mistakes when they are not noticed
4.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. Researchers believe that attitudes only come from emotional states.
B. Attitudes have a bad influence on actions.
C. An honest child won’t steal a penny.
D. Attitudes can be learned either by one’s experience or by observing the actions of others.

C
The Tasmanian devil is a rare marsupial(有袋动物)that lives only on the Australian island state of Tasmania. The doglike animal is rapidly disappearing. The Tasmanian state government estimates that the number of devils has dropped from around 150,000 in the mid-1990s to between 20,000 and 50,000 at the end of 2007.
The devil was declared an endangered species last week. It is being wiped out by a rare cancer called devil facial tumor(肿瘤)disease(DFTD). It spreads like a cold or flu from animal to animal. The disease is passed when one devil bites another. When the marsupial is infected with DFTD, large tumors develop around its mouth and neck. These growths make it impossible for the devil to eat. Many finally die from starvation within six months of being infected. As the name implies, the disease occurs only in Tasmanian devils and cannot be passed to humans.
You’ve got to remember that devils are scavengers(清扫工). They search through garbage for food. Throughout Tasmania people maintain outdoor dumps. If somebody threw out a carcass(兽类尸体), then the devils might actually consume quite large quantities of it.
The disease has not yet appeared in the devil population that lives in the northwest region of Tasmania. Conservationists have captured some of the healthy devils and sent them to a new home on the mainland of Australia. They hope these DFTD-free marsupials can be used to start a captive-breeding population. Once there are more disease-free devils, they can then repopulate the areas of Tasmania where the species are being wiped out.
Tasmanian devils play an important role in keeping the state’s ecosystem in balance. They keep the population of other predators, such as foxes and wild cats, in check. Ray Nias, head of World Wildlife Federation—Australia’s conservation program, says all Tasmanian wildlife will suffer if the devil becomes extinct. “If the devils go and the foxes and cats increase, it would be all over for a good dozen or more species of mammals, many of which are unique to Tasmania.”
46. It can be inferred that the Tasmanian devil is __________.
A. a hard-working street-cleaner B. a grass-eating animal
C. a meat-eating marsupial D. A DFTD origin
47. What’s the reason for making the Tasmanian devil endangered?
A. A rare disease called DFTD occurs in Tasmanian devils.
B. Dogs like to attack Tasmanian devils.
C. Tasmanian people try to wipe out Tasmanian devils.
D. The region of Tasmania is becoming hard for Tasmanian devils to breed.
48. To which question does the last paragraph give the answer?
A. How should people protect the devils?
B. What do the Tasmanian people do with the devils?
C. What happens if the devils disappear?
D. Which animal is closely related to the devils?
49. What measures do Tasmanian people take to stop the devils from being wiped out?
A. Trapping disease-free devils in a new place to breed more young devils.
B. Searching the cause of the disease and finding an effective treatment.
C. Developing new chemicals for the infected animals.
D. Moving all the devils to a new home on the mainland of Australia.
50. What’s true about DFTD?
A. It’s a disease that can be spread to human beings.
B. It’s a cold that occurs only in Tasmanian devils.
C. It’s a flu that Tasmanian devils get from their companions.
D. It’s a cancer that can be passed from one Tasmanian devil to another.

The American dream is the faith held by many people in the United States of America that through hard work, courage, creativity and determination, they can achieve a better life for themselves. More specifically, they agree on how to get ahead in America: get a college education, find a reliable job, and buy their own house. But do Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable?
The most recent National Journal poll asked participants about the American dream, what it takes to achieve their goal, and whether or not they felt the control over their ability to be successful. Obviously, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream and what it takes to achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th century. Generally speaking, people felt that their actions and hard work not outside force deciding their lives. But the participants had definitely mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy.
In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic(悲观的) about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they see going to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority 52 percent think that young people do not need a 4-year college education in order to be successful.
Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a master’s degree and works in public health, was the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability(稳定) his parents and grandparents never did. While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new viewpoints and life experiences. To Fendley, a sense of drive and purpose, as well as an effective high-school education, and basic life skills, like balancing a checkbook(支票簿), are the necessary elements for a successful life in America.
1.It used to be commonly acknowledged that to succeed in America, one had to have ____.
A. a sense of drive and purpose B. an advanced academic degree
C. a firm belief in their dream D. an ambition to get ahead
2.What is the finding of the latest National Journal poll concerning the American dream?
A. More and more Americans are finding it hard to realize.
B. It remains alive among the majority of American people.
C. An increasing number of young Americans are abandoning it.
D. Americans’ idea of it has changed over the past few decades.
3.What do Americans now think of the role of college education in achieving success?
A. It still remains open to debate.
B. It has proved to be beyond doubt.
C. It is much better understood now than ever.
D. It is no longer as important as it used to be.
4.How do some people view college education these days?
A. It helps broaden their minds. B. It needs to be strengthened.
C. It widens cultural diversity. D. It promotes gender equality.
