A
China in the 21st century is making great progress in space technology. In 2003, the country sent up the manned spacecraft Shenzhou-V. Four years later, Chang’e-I went into orbit (轨道) around the moon. In 2008 a Chinese man did the country’s first spacewalk.
These achievements would have been unthinkable without the contribution of Qian Xuesen, a key scientist on space programs and rocketry (火箭技术) of the People’s Republic of China. This pioneering scientist passed away in Beijing on October 31 in 2009 at the age of 98.
Once called “the father of our space industry”, Qian began working on China’s missile and space technology in 1956, when China had little technology. When asked by General Chen Geng whether the Chinese could develop their own missiles, Qian said Chinese could do anything that foreigners could.
His research helped lead to the explosion of China’s first atomic bomb (原子弹) in1964, as well as to its first man-made satellite in 1970 and its first manned spacecraft in 2003.
Qian was born in Shanghai. He graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934.Then he studied in the US at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later at the California Institute of Technology. During World WarⅡ, Qian’s research contributed to the development of rocket technology that the US military (军队) began using in the 1940s. He was once prevented from leaving the country because it was decided that he knew too much about certain military matters. It was not until in 1955 that Qian returned to China with the help of the late premier Zhou Enlai.
“I plan to do my best to help the Chinese build a nation where they can live with dignity (尊严) and happiness, ” Qian told reporters before sailing for China in 1955. The great scientist devoted all his life to keeping the promise.
56. What is the article mainly about?
A. It gives a short history of Chinese missile and space programs.
B. It is about how Qian contributed to the Chinese space program.
C. It lists important events that Qian experienced.
D. It is a brief introduction to Qian, a famous Chinese scientist.
57. Which statement about Qian is TRUE?
A. He was born in China and brought up in America.
B. He went to America for further study after graduation from university.
C. He returned to his hometown right after finishing his education.
D. He had worked on missiles in the US military before coming back to China.
58. Qian was personally involved in many historic events in China EXCEPT .
A. the first spacewalk
B. the first man-made satellite
C. the development of missiles
D. the explosion of an atomic bomb
59. From the article, we can conclude that .
A. the US military had hoped to take full advantage of Qian’s talent
B. Qian had an important position in the US military in the 1940s
C. when World War broke out, Qian was studying at Shanghai Jiaotong University
D. it was not easy to get Qian back from the US
B
It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always go od to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in y our physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
We all have limited resourc es in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career．
There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”
So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper（成功）．
60. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．
A. mistakes are unnecessary for development
B. we are afraid of trying new things
C. it’s common for people to make mistakes
D. mistakes are better than not trying
61. The underlined word “eliminate” means _______．
A. avoid
B. Remove
C. accept
D. solve
62. According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is ．
A. avoiding making the same mistakes
B. accepting the punishment willingly
C. taking consequences into account
D. trying things out one by one
63. What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?
A. Never mind, I can always try again．
B. I’d better stay out of trouble．
C. Ok! Now I can learn something．
D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset．
C

The "Occupy Wall Street" movement gained more support on Wednesday as unions and students joined in. With the protests developing from a group of young people's camping out near the New York Stock Exchange on September 17 to large-scale (大规模的) movements across the country and around the world, people can't help asking: What has led to "Occupy Wall Street?"
Three years after the severe economic crisis, the U.S. economy now is stuck again.
Protesters are not satisfied with the present economic situation since unemployment rate is above 9 percent and economic growth has slowed. The housing market is still struggling for a recovery three years after the bubble (泡沫) burst. People are losing their houses even after they have paid a large amount of mortgage(抵押). It is getting difficult for young people to find jobs. People feared that a similar crisis like the one in 2008 may be already on its way.
It is Wall Street that possessed the most riches. It is Wall Street greed that, at least partly, led to the financial crisis in 2008. It was Wall Street's "fat cats" who take taxpayers' aid money as their own big bonus (奖金). With the growing economic crisis around the world, people realize that Wall Street is responsible for it. So they try to target people who created the crisis.
The majority of the protesters are young people under 30. Many of them are unemployed. Some are students with mountains of loans (贷款). Some are hard-working people about to lose their houses even if they have paid a large amount of mortgage. They are complaining that the hard-working middle class is getting poor, yet Wall Street stays wealthy.
William Cohan, author of Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the world, wrote recently that Wall Street not only learned nothing from the 2008 crisis, they are also trying to kill all reforms that might "break this dangerous cycle in which bankers get very rich while the rest of working people suffer from their mistakes."
67. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The ca use of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.
B. The demand of the protesters of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.
C. The popularity of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.
D. The development of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.
68. According to the second par agraph, what set off the “Occupy Wall Street” movement?
A. The housing market.
B. The bad economic situation.
C. The mortgage
D. The high unemployment rate.
69. We can learn from the passage that Wall Street is the symbol of in the USA.
A. civilization
B. power
C. wealth
D. fashion
70. We can infer that William Cohan .
A. is the organizer of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement
B. lives on Wall Street
C. is against the “Occupy Wall Street” movement
D. approves of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement

Health is the most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than health. If we take away our money, houses, cars or even our clothes, we can still survive. 71 That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.
How can we keep healthy？In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk foods. 72 I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins.
73 Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.
What’s more, I think friends are an important part of one’s health. 74 I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It is good to stay with my friends.
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy.

Dear Editor,
Every summer vacation witnesses a series of camps organized by different instituions, such as English camps, weight-losing camps, and so on, which abundantly draws/ attracts parents’attention.
The reasons behind can be concluded as follows. To begin with, summer is absolutely a right time for children to broaden their horizons and strengthen their basis of different subjects. Meanwhile, in some parents’ opinion, it is far better to keep their chidren occupied than to leave them at home having nothing to do.
As far as I am concerned, mostly the participation of summer camps does benefit children.However, there is no need for all parents to copy something blindly. They might as well cope with it sensibly. Otherwise, negative effects won’t be avoided in terms of time, study habit, or growth.
Regards
Lihua
