What is the difference between developed and developing countries? The question is quite a difficult one. But we can compare them in two important aspects: people and economy.
In developing countries there are high rates of both birth and death. Families decide to give birth to more than one child, because many developing countries do not have the systems necessary to guarantee(保证) the life of old people. Raising more children seems to be the only way to make sure that during their later years a person will be taken care of.
The situation is completely different in fully-developed countries. Those countries have low levels of birth and mortality. Low mortality rate is mainly because of the good health care, but low birth rate is due to the fact that supporting a family with more children is expensive nowadays. Another reason is that more and more women decide to work outside, so there is usually no time and place for a large group of children in their lives.
In developed countries, most industries have high levels of technological progress, while in developing countries most GDP comes from agriculture. It is mainly due to the fact that services and many branches of industry are in the stage of development. But they have the potential to develop quickly, because they have many things to improve.
Of course, the difference between developed and developing countries is not that clear, because some countries might be in the middle of great changes. When a country is in that stage, some data can define the country as a developing one, but others may show that it is a developed one.
1.Why does the writer think the question is difficult to answer?
A. Because the people and economy of cannot reflect the whole situation.
B. Because most developing countries are certain to become developed ones.
C. Because he can only compare them in two aspects—people and economy.
D. Because a developing country can be seen as developed one by some data.
2.In developing countries, there are high birth rates because people hope ________.
A. their children will have a bright future
B. generations can live under the same roof
C. they will be taken care of in their later years
D. the next generation can contribute more to society
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mortality” in Paragraph 3?
A. Health. B. Death.
C. Employment. D. Survival.
4.What’s probably the writer’s attitude towards the future of developing countries?
A. Negative. B. Worried.
C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.

Vietnam aims to solve the relations between economic development and cultural preservation. Vietnamese cultural departments and activists have tried to preserve the historical and cultural relics in the country.
Vietnam now has more than 40,000 historical relics. These relics of various forms and history are treasures for future generations.
However, hundreds of relics are severely damaged due to the negative influence of time, war and human activities. Head of Hanoi Relics Management Board, Nguyen Doan Tuan, says rescue work must preserve the relics’ soul: “We cannot replace ruined construction with new materials. We must preserve its shape, size and style. We need to pay attention to every brick replaced so that it looks exactly like the original.”
Most relics have to rely on tourist fees for repair and rescue work. Director of Van Mieu Cultural and Science Center, Dang Kim Ngoc, says that the relics must be promoted widely to attract more visitors and bring in more income for repair and preservation: “We provide constant guide services for visitors so that they understand more about our relics. At the same time, a natural surrounding of the relic has been ensured, including the grass field and garden to improve its scenic value.”
The local government agreed that the relics must be turned to the community for shared efforts in the preservation work. Director of Vietnam Revolution Museum Dang Quoc Quan, said that the community must be guided in the preservation and protection, “The UNESCO aims to let local community take part in the preservation of relics. We have seen limitations in the preservation of relics, especially festival-related groups of buildings. This requires management and guidance by the government.”
Nguyen Thi Minh Ly from the Department of Heritage says the community should be guided in proper behaviors towards relics: “This will ensure the protection of cultural relics in later generations. Creative restoration (修复) must be based on previous (先前的) values.”
Experts have called for a systematic (系统的) guidance by the state in local level preservation while promoting creative thinking in restoration for each relic.
1.Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A.A government survey. B.A research paper.
C.A newspaper report. D.A travel guide.
2.Which of the following is not the reasons for the damaged relics in Vietnam?
A.Human activities. B.Poor building materials.
C.War influence. D.The passing of time.
3.It can be inferred from paragraphs 4-6 that to preserve relics, the government should .
A.turn to the UNESCO for financial help
B.improve the scenic value by raising tourist fees
C.encourage the community to join in the rescue work
D.make full use of the money raised by the local people
4.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Guide the Community in Proper Behaviors
B.Replace the Ruined Construction with a New Style
C.Hundreds of Relics in Vietnam Are In Ruins
D.Experts Call for a Systematic Way to Preserve Relics

If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and mathematics?
It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine and attractive.
However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This difference appears to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations, too.
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supply answers.
Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call in boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.
1.Girls are likely to think that _____.
A.science courses are for both boys and girls
B.science courses make them more popular
C.science courses make them successful
D.science courses are difficult for them
2.The text mainly discuss_____ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.
A.biological B.historical
C.social D.personal
3.What are boys usually encouraged to do at school? _____
A.To get help with their homework. B.To play the leading role in class.
C.To work with girl students in class. D.To learn to take care of others.
4.The author would probably agree that ______.
A.boys and girls learn in the same way
B.boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
C.girls are more confident in themselves than before
D.girls should take fewer science courses than boys

What’s the difference between the British Isles, Britain, the United Kingdom and England?
The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other Britain. Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands and it is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.
The United Kingdom (UK) is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is made up of Scotland, Wales, and England (i.e. the whole of Britain), and also about one-sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The rest of Ireland is self-governing(自治的).
England is the largest, most populous (人口众多的), and generally speaking, the richest section. English people often use the words “England” and “English” when they mean “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh angry. The Scots are very proud of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not consider themselves as England, and have a culture and even a language of their own. Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but is soon grew discontented (不满的), and for forty years the “Irish Question” was the greatest headache of British Parliament(国会). At last, Ireland divided itself into two: Northern Ireland remained loyal(忠诚于) to the Crown(英国王室), and in 1922 the rest of the country broke away to form Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland.
1.Which is the largest in area?
A. The British Iles B. Great Britain
C. England D. The United Kingdom
2. Which is the largest island of the British Isles?.
A. Ireland B. Britain
C. England D. Northern Ireland
3.The United Kingdom is mainly made up of ________.
A.3 parts: Scotland, Wales, and England
B.4 parts: Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland
C.2 parts: the whole of Britain and Ireland
D.2 parts: the whole of Britain and Northern Ireland
4. Strictly speaking(严格地说), which is wrong?
A.“English” refers(指) to people of England.
B.“The Scots” refers to people of Scotland.
C.“England” refers to all the people to the UK.
D.Only one-sixth of Ireland belongs to the UK.
5.Who will be happy if we use “England” when we mean Britain?
A. The British B. People of England
C. People of the Republic of Ireland D. The welsh

With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified(多样化) than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics(数据统计). I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame（责怪）the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
1.What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”?
A. Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B. Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C. Living an active life and giving up bad eating habits.
D. Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
2.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
3.The author writes the passage to __________
A. show people a social problem
B. provide facts for government
C. advise solutions to a problem
D. compare opinions with people
