Tensions have erupted over some barren rocks in the Pacific that you may never have heard of, but stay tuned—this is a boundary dispute that could get ugly and some day have far-reaching consequences for China, Japan, Taiwan and the United States．

The islands in dispute are called the Senkaku chain by Japan, the Diaoyu islands by China, and the Diaoyutai by Taiwan．All three claim the islands, which are really just five small islands and three barren rocks northeast of Taiwan, 200 miles off the Chinese coast．

The latest conflict occurred when a Chinese fishing boat collided with two Japanese naval ships trying to stop it near the islands．The Japanese prevented the Chinese captain from leaving the place for questioning and the two countries have been exchanging angry protests．

The reason to worry is that nationalists in both China and Taiwan see the islands as unquestionably theirs and think that their government has been weak in claiming this authority．

So far, wiser heads have generally won the argument on each side, but at some point a weakened Chinese leader might try to gain the legal right with the public by pushing the issue and recovering the islands．It would be a dangerous game and would have a disastrous impact on China-Japan relations, but if successful it would raise the popularity of the Chinese government．

In reality, of course, there is zero chance that the U．S．will honor its treaty（条约） with Japan over a few barren rocks．We're not going to risk a nuclear conflict with China over some islands that may well be China's．But if we don't help, our security relationship with Japan will be at the breaking point．

So which country has a better claim to the islands? My feeling is that it's China, although the answer isn't clear-cut．Chinese navigational records show the islands as Chinese for many centuries, and a 1783 Japanese map shows them as Chinese as well．Japan purported to "discover" the islands only in 1884 and took control of them by force only in 1895 when it also grabbed Taiwan．

The best approach would be for China and Japan to agree to refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice, but realistically that won't happen．And since some believe that the area is rich with oil and gas reserves, the claims from each side have become more insistent．

As Chinese nationalism grows, as China's navy and ability to project power in the ocean gains, we could see some military conflicts over the islands．

Taken from NewYork Times

56．The underlined word "purported" （in Para．5） is closest in meaning to "_____"．

       A．claimed            B．happened       C．pretended         D．intended

57．The latest conflict referred to in the passage occurred because _____．

       A．the Japanese government has bought the Diaoyu Islands from the Liyuans

       B．two Japanese naval ships sailed in the Chinese sea around the Diaoyu Islands

       C．A fishing boat collided with two Japanese naval ships by design in the Japanese sea

       D．the Japanese kept the captain of a fishing boat from returning for questioning

58．Which of the following is the author's personal idea?

       A．It is the two Japanese naval ships that are to blame for the conflict．

       B．It is the Chinese captain of a fishing boat that is to blame for the conflict．

       C．It is China that has a better claim to the islands because of its navigational records．

       D．It is the U．S．that will honor its treaty with Japan over a few barren rocks．

59．Why does the author think neither China nor Japan will agree to refer the dispute to the international Court of justice?

       A．because Japan has navy and ability to power the Diaoyu Islands．

       B．because the claim from both sides has become more insistent．

       C．because China is developing so quickly that it will declare a war on Japan．

       D．because the U．S．won't be involved in the dispute between China and Japan．

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.

60．In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.

A．teenagers to try to pursue their real selves           

B．readers to try to be popular with people around

C．parents to try to control and guide their children   

D．people to try to understand and respect each other

61．The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.

A．growing away from their parents           B．following the popularity trend

C．walking a new way on their own           D．turning to their friends for help

62.The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.

A．the distractive and variable society         B．the dazzling(眼花缭乱的) music world

C．the parental care and love                            D．the popularity wave in the society

63．What does the author think of advertisements?

A．Convincing.  B．Instructive.        C．Influential.  D．Authoritative.

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

“Two full inches in the first three days！”

These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads，promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs，slim the face，smooth wrinkles，or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.

Often such products are nothing more than money­making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health.

To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug，FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device，FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health，FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily，or it can take legal action，including seizure(查封)of the product.

One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.

Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually. Before buying，it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.

64．It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________.

A．objective  B．costly             C．unreliable  D．illegal

65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A．The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.

B．New products are more likely to be questionable.

C．The production of a device must be approved by FDA.

D．The promoters usually just care about profits.

66．FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product________.

A．if it is a drug                                B．if it is a device

C．if its consumers make complaints   D．if its distributors challenge FDA's authority

67．The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________.

A．a product which was designed to produce electricity

B．a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case

C．a successful advertisement of a beauty product

D．an example of a quality beauty product

The mystery of Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa painting has been cracked with the help of emotion-recognition software from scientists recently. According to findings which will be published in the New Scientist, a British journal, the exact breakdown of Mona Lisa's emotions,   were 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry.

The software rated features such as the curvature (曲度) of the lips and crinkles around the eyes. Dr. Nicu Sebe, a professor at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, used emotion-recognition software to come up with the exact breakdown of Mona Lisa's emotional state.

The program draws on a database of young female faces to get an average "neutral" expression. The software uses this average expression as the standard for comparisons. Other applications of emotion-recognition software might be to detect terror suspects on the basis of their emotions as well as their physical characteristics.

Possibly the most famous portrait of all time, Mona Lisa's mystifying expression has puzzled art lovers for five centuries. In 2003, a scientist from Harvard University said the way the human eye processes visual information meant the smile was only obvious when the viewer looked at other parts of the painting.

The painting, which is on public display in the Louvre in Paris, was painted between 1503--1506．It was thought to be named after the sitter, most likely the Florentine wife of Francesco del Giocondo.

68．Which of the following is probably the practical use of the emotion-recognition of software?

       A．It can be used to decide whether a painting is valuable.

       B．It can be applied to detect a criminal.

       C．It can show the painter of an ancient painting.

       D．It makes Mona Lisa known to the world.

69．The software judges people’s emotion by _____.

       A．the features on their face                            B．the smile on their face

       C．the way they talk                                       D．the painting which has been painted

70．Which statement is true according to the text?

       A．The painter of Mona Lisa had a mixed emotion of happiness, disgust, fear and anger while painting.

       B．Leonardo da Vinci worked out an emotion-recognition software with the help of scientists.

       C．The name of Francesco del Giocondo’s wife could be Mona Lisa.

       D．The painting Mona Lisa was painted in the fifteenth century.

I was real sad when I found my bicycle went wrong again. Tired of repairing it again and again,

decided buy a new one. After school, I went to a shop locating in the center of the city with a

friend called Jack. The black bicycle attracted my eyes as soon as we went into the store. It looked

so cool that I could hardly wait to ride it. The shopkeepers told us that it was the latest bicycle.

He wanted to charge me for 800 yuan, that was too high for me. I just couldn’ t afford such

an expensive one. Then I choose another one, which cost him only 200 yuan. It was not perfect,

so it was much better than the old one.
