The 2009 total solar eclipse lasted up to 6 minutes, or the longest one that has ever been seen in China in almost 500 years from 1814 to 2309. Viewers in parts of 11 provinces in China’s southwestern, central-southern and eastern areas, such as Tibet, Hunan and Jiangsu, witnessed the total solar eclipse, while in most parts of Shanghai, viewers could see the spectacular phenomenon. For viewers in other provinces, including Beijing, they observed a partial eclipse（日偏食）. And in the Shanghai Science & Technology Museum, visitors saw the sketch maps illustrating the whole process of the full solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is caught between the sun and the earth while each of them moves along their fixed orbits. In a total solar eclipse, the sun, the moon and the earth are directly aligned（排成直线）as the sun swings into the shadow cast by the moon.
An academic meeting on solar eclipse will be hosted by the International Astronomical Union in Suzhou soon, on which “Total Solar Eclipse”, which was finished in this year by a famous embroidery master Chen Yinghua, will be displayed.
It is predicted that the next total solar eclipse that can be seen in China will fall on March 20,2034. But it can only be seen in remote provinces, such as Tibet and Qinghai. It cannot be compared with the 2009 one—in terms of duration and number of cities that can see the eclipse.
The last total solar eclipse visible in China took place on Aug. 1, 2008. It was observed in northwest China and lasted 2 minutes in Yiwu County of northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the best place to see the phenomenon.

For new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their dark red passport, becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying a large and strange family.
Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologies and market researchers, and are more interesting
35% of Germans live alone, but only 9% of Spanish. Perhaps this explains why Spanish lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.
The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can’t just be the dark ev enings. There are no figures on how many British go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain.
The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.
The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.
The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spanish. Well, of course they do, it’s colder.
Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spanish.
The French are the champion public transport commuters(经常往返者)of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.
The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spanish than it is among the British or Swedes. So, sharing a lift is a hard time for both the British and the Swedish.
There are exceptions to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year-old daughter. “If you don’t understand each other’s language, just laugh a lot and eat and point at things.”
61. Accroding to the passage, which country’s people attend the most adult evening class in Europe?

4/10 women who diet end up heavier than when they started watching their waistline （腰围）, a study announced today. The research also showed that a large percentage of women start noticing that they gained weight again just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight.
Yesterday, Dr Ian Campbell of the Jenny Craig weight management program said: “In the
UK 61.4 % adults are overweight or obese. Successful weight management requires a long-term commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good. Dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important. Otherwise as this research shows, women could end up heavier than when they started.”
The “Food: Body: Mind” report was publicized by Jenny Craig who quizzed 2000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around weight loss. 6/10 said they are currently on a diet and 1/5 women said they are on a “continuous diet”.
It found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their “reflection in the mirror”, preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering (not beautiful) photos posted on social networking sites. Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half.
However, the study showed that 1/10 give up within one day, while almost 1/5 manage to make it to a week or more. The average is ten days. Many blamed pressure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain, which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal. Others blamed colleagues, who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter, while mothers who polish off their children's leftovers（剩饭）was another common cause of weight gain.
66. Which of the following might be the best title for this article?
A. Three reasons to fail in dieting
B. Important things for successful diet
C. Obesity: problem for 61.4% adults in UK
D. 4/10 women gain weight on diets
67. In the UK, women who go on a diet __________.
A. are all overweight or obese
B. are likely to gain weight again after reaching their ideal weight
C. all fail because they are not persistent enough
D. end up heavier than when they start to diet
68. The underlined word “triggers” in Paragraph 4 probably means __________.
A. effects
B. examples
C. causes
D. imagination
69. Which of the following is NOT the reason why many people quit dieting very soon?
A. The pressure they put on themselves to lose weight quickly.
B. Colleagues who give them fatty lunches and snacks.
C. Reflections they see in the mirror.
D. Leftovers of children’s taken by their mothers.
70. In which column of the newspaper do you probably find the passage?
A. Health.
B. Economy.
C. Sports.
D. Education.
PART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)
Section A(10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Teenage is one of the most complicated(复杂的) phase in which the child is becoming an adult. So it is important that parents and teachers organize fun and educative activities for teenagers.
Teenagers often spend their time on television or the Internet at home. So it’s necessary to
put their time into constructive use with the help of fun activities. Teenagers love to have slumber parties(在主人家过夜的聚会) at home by inviting their close friends. Therefore, you can arrange a fun slumber party for their friends. You can also put them on a project of making a family scrapbook(剪贴簿). Besides, giving some improvement to their room is an enjoyable activity for teenagers.
Today, as most parents go for work, there is no one to mind teenagers when they come home from school. So teenagers usually misuse this free time and get involved in illegal activities like drinking, drugs, criminal activities, etc. The best way of avoiding this is to organize some activities for them. For teenagers who are interested in sports, arranging a sports club. For teenagers who like music, the school can arrange classes where they can learn singing or playing a musical instrument. For those who love reading, it’ll be a good idea to start a reader’s club where teenagers can read and have group discussions about books.
Teenagers start getting bored as soon as the summer vacation starts and to prevent them from getting addicted to television or the Internet, it’s necessary to involve them in some outdoor activities. For example, go for a holiday where they can experience. If going for a vacati on isn’t possible, teenagers can do along with their friends other outdoor summer activities like fishing, cycling, going for an educational tour to a museum, etc.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
The earthquake and tsunami have caused huge human and material losses in Japan, and the threat of unclear radiation has added to people’s sadness. Some of the factories will have to move outside the country to ensure its business.
Owing to the level of the damage to Japanese of factories and infrastructure, it will be weeks or even months before the country’s supply chain returns to normal and its manufacturing level gets back to its previous lever. While most factories will be running as usual in the next few months, it is likely than some of the older and less efficient ones will be shut down. It will thus be cheaper and easier to use manufacturing bases in China and other low-cost countries than to rebuild the factories in Japan.
One example of the change in Japanese companies’strategy is that less than half of the automobile manufacturing capacity of Toyota, Nissan, and Honda is in Japan. With the triple disasters affecting in Japan, its automobile companies are expected to keep increasing manufacturing outside the country, and China looks like an appropriate destination for that.
A similar strategy applies to consumer products such as TV sets, music players, and mobile
handsets. Companies such as Sony have already moved much of their manufacturing to other countries, and this trend will continue. The production of many semiconductor products will steadily move outside Japan, too with perhaps the establishment of strategic relationships with other countries.
Is this trend bad for Japan? No, if new industries are built to take advantage of the opportunities in the global market to ensure a better future.
81. If Japan want its automobile companies to increase manufacturing outside the country, which country will be an approprite destination? (No more than 1 word)(2 marks)
82．What has contributed to the Japan’s disaster? (No more than 9 words)(2 marks)
83．List two different kinds of products that have already moved their factories ourside Japan.(No more than 7 words )(3 marks)
84．Why won’t many Japanese factories plan to rebuild but turn to foreign bases after the disaster?(No more than 8 words)(3 marks)
