10、ce, the novel follows the progress of 6 year old Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, a gifted child who was the result of a government program to develop new commanders to help in the fight against the alien. In the School Ender quickly shows himself to be at the top of his class through his clever use of intell

11、igence during a zero-gravity war game. While Enders success makes him a target for older, envious(嫉妒的) commanders, he keeps moving up and is finally promoted(提撥) to Command School where he gets further training from the famous commander Mazer Rackham. In Command School, Enders tests and games become

12、 increasingly exhausting until he is finally forced to make a frightening decision that has destroying results. Enders Game centers around a group of children who seem to grow into full adults whose emotions and actions seem inconsistent with their actual ages. The youth of these characters added we

13、ight to the sadness I felt for these kids who had been raised to be cold and trained since birth to view life as a conflict to be won or lost. The fact that these “Innocents” are competing against each other to kill a faceless enemy for the better of mankind is seen as an unavoidable result of the f

14、ear that was stuck in humanity. And while obvious similarities to our own present state of war can be made, the book doesnt focus as much on the alien threat as it does on Enders struggles and the results of his actions. My main regret with this book was that I didnt read it when I was younger. I th

15、ink that I probably would have had an even greater reaction to the story and the struggles of Ender if Id been closer to his age when I experienced it. Oh well, better late than never I guess.21. Ender studies in Command school because of_. A. the conflict with other countries B. a government progra

16、m C. his further training D. exhausting tests and games22. How did the writer feel about the children in Enders Game? A. Fearful.B. Sad. C. Proud. D. Envious.23. This passage is probably one part of _. A. a science novel B. a news storyC. a school introduction D. a book reviewB Researchers Jose Cord

17、ova and Erich Astudillo have discovered a new molecule(分子) that kills the bacteria Streptococcus Mutans, long known to be responsible for breaking down sugars in food in the mouth, which damages tooth leading to decay(腐爛). The new molecule they call “Keep 32” has been found to kill the bacteria. The

18、 two have applied for a patent(專利) on their discovery and have also begun a marketing strategy aimed at both oral care products and food products. They say either product, if left in the mouth for just 60 seconds ,will kill all the harmful bacteria in the mouth and keep them at bay for several hours

19、. If the new molecule passes health and safety tests, the two believe products using their new molecule should be on the market in as little as a year and a half. They expect the market for such a product to reach $300 million in just the first year. The two have been working together since 2005 usi

20、ng money from the Founder Institute and say the aim is to approve the process for creating the molecule theyve discovered for big companies like Procter & Gamble, Colgate even candy companies such as Hersheys. In interviews, Astudillo has suggested that the two researchers are already heavily in

21、to discussion with several companies, some of which are interested in buying the patent once it is approved. Over the years many products have come on the scene with announcement of reducing tooth decay and even the loss of teeth, but other than the introduction of fluoride(氟化物) into drinking water,

22、 not much progress has been made. If the announcement made by this new team proves true however, it could foresee a mark in saving the world of tooth decay as well as helping to improve the health for millions of people as tooth decay has been linked to many other health problems throughout the body

23、 including heart attacks.24. The underlined word “them” in Para. 2 refers to _.A. oral care productsB. food productsC. new molecules D. the harmful bacteria 25. The phrase “come on the scene” in Para. 4 is closest in meaning to _. A. performed B. occurred C. existed D. arrived26.What has been a way

24、to reduce tooth decay and even the loss of teeth over the years?A. Using the molecule “Keep 32”. B. Killing the bacteria Mutans. C. Introducing fluoride into drinking water. D. Cooperating with some big companies. 27. This passage mainly tells us that _. A. many health problems are closely connected

25、 to tooth decay B. the discovery of a new molecule will greatly benefit health care C. two researchers are discussing their patent with companies D. researchers discover a molecule that can kill tooth decay-causing bacteria C With around 40,000 students, the Politecnico di Milano is the largest and

26、most technical university in Italy, offering undergraduate, graduate and other courses in engineering, architecture and design. Founded in 1863, just two years after Italy was united, Milan Polytechnic is international famous. Many of its graduates now work in big companies abroad like M.I.T., Calte

27、ch and Oxbridge. Yet the Politechnic has a problem. As you know, here in Italy people speak Italian. Beautiful though the language may be, it is not a good choice for engineers when theyre building a way in Norway or designing a bridge in Vietnam. For better or worse, the global tongue of engineers

28、is English. Hoping to attract more international students, the Politechnic decided to run its doctors courses in English only. Over 100 teachers went to court to block the plan, referring to a 1933 law that makes Italian the official language. For some teachers, all that matters is that they dont fe

29、el comfortable teaching in English. In 2013, the court said they were right. Teaching English was out. But there was more to come. They then went on a nationwide campaign against their universitys decision. Unwisely, the defenders of the Italian language backed them, saying, “we note with regret and

30、 concern the ignorance and abandonment(放棄) of Italian in the university education.” The leaders at the Politechnic refused to be frightened, and asked for the ruling. Last month the Council of State said, “Art and science are free, and teaching them is free.” The question is whether teaching in Engl

31、ish prevents students acquiring knowledge. But one could put it differently, and ask whether universities should be free to teach in whatever way they think best serves their students. Interestingly, the people one might expect to be most against English-only teaching, the students themselves, have

32、taken it easy. The president, Giovanni Azzone, told me: “Students write to me about everything from the lack of parking spaces to washrooms that dont work. Not one has ever complained about the courses in English.” 28. The main idea of the passage is that the Politechnic decision to run its doctors

33、courses in English only _. A. attracts more international students B. sends more students to work abroad C. makes some teachers out of work D. meets with different responses29. Which statement is NOT the reason why the Politechnic decided to use only English in class? A. Many graduates work abroad.B

34、. Italian is widely used. C. English is the global language.D. The Politechnic is an international university.30. Those who agree with the new change in the Politechnic are _. A. the Politechnic leaders B. over 100 teachers C. the Council of State D. the defenders of Italian31. The students attitude

35、 towards English-only teaching in doctors courses is _. A. indifferent（漠然的） B. disapproving C. skeptical D. approving D LONDON-The International Table Tennies Federation(ITTF) plans to work with Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft Corporation, to promote(促進(jìn)) table tennis in the United States, ITTF

36、 PresidentAdham Sharara said. The plan was put forward after Gates came to London to watch the game between US teen player Ariel Hsing and Chinese Li Xiaoxia on Sunday, Sharara told Xinhua in an interview. Sharara didnt disclose the details, but said that Gates offered to help after watching Hsings

37、match, in which the 16-year-old girl nearly pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Olympic table tennis history, pushing No. 2 seed Li to the limit before losing 4-2 in six tight sets. “Gates was surprised to see the young American girl played so well. He asked me what he can do to help promote tab

38、le tennis in the United States. I think well work with him. If the United States becomes very strong in table tennis, its also good for China,” Sharara said. Sharara said the case is a “good example” which shows that ITTFs efforts in promoting the popularity. The ITTF has changed its rules for the L

39、ondon Games, allowing only two players from one nation to enter the singles events. Three players from each National Olympic Committee(NOC) were allowed to enter the singles in previous Games. “The reason we do this is to help more NOCs to join in our game. If we give more chances to the top countri

40、es, someone like Hsing will not come to the Olympic Games. They have no chance. But if we give them the chance, we can see what they can do,” Sharara said. Sharara said the change increased the pressure on strong teams, like China, Japan, South Korea and Germany. “But they understand now because the

41、y saw other NOCs attending. Some countries before had no chance to play in table tennis, but now they are joining in table tennis.” Other changes made to the Olympic Games include the color of floor (from red to blue) and new table design. “As far as presentation is concerned, we try to change all t

42、he time, especially in the Olympic Games. We hope to give audiences something new, exciting and cool.” Table tennis has long been the strengths of Asia, especially China. Since the sport was introduced into the Olympics in 1988, China has taken 20 of 24 gold medals available. Four years ago in Beiji

43、ng, it claimed six medals in the mens and womens singles. Talking about the development of table tennis, Sharara said, “China has the responsibility to promote the sport. Of course, China has done a lot.”32. It is mainly reported in this news that in order to promote table tennis in the United State

Their idea of retirement is to live a quiet life close to their son. 37 They want to create a special needs trust to help pa

The Zupans ideal plan is for Mike, 60, to retire first, in five to seven years, and for Nicole, 5

49、2, to continue working for several years beyond that before she joins him in retirement. But before they can get there, they want to pay off the $18,000 in credit card debt, partly because their sons treatment is not covered by insurance.
