BEIJING, March, 17th --The Japanese automaker Toyota will recall some 4,400 units of FJ Cruiser cars in China over seat belt flaws, China's consumer quality watchdog said Saturday.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said on its website that Toyota China will recall these imported cars produced between December 2007 and March 2013.
Toyota is busy working on the solution to the flaw and will release improvement methods before April 15, according to the administration.
This marks Toyota's second recalling this year after the auto giant announced in January that it would recall 22,869 units of Lexus IS cars in China due to wiper arm problem.
China's private auto ownership reached 93.09 million units by the end of 2012, up 18.3 percent compared with the year before. Along with the fast expanding auto market, Chinese drivers grow more concerned about the quality of their cars.
Also on Saturday, the AQSIQ said in a statement on its website that its research has basically confirmed the German automaker Volkswagen's direct shift gearbox (DSG) transmission has defects which may cause engine power failures and urged Volkswagen to recall defective cars after China Central Television (CCTV) exposed Volkswagen's gearbox defect on Friday.
To better protect the interests of Chinese consumers, the AQSIQ announced late last year that it would formulate a guideline to regulate a recall system for faulty cars.
小題1:What does underlined the word “recall” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A．To ask people to return a product.
B．To bring something into one’s mind.
C．To remember something from the past.
D．To ask someone to go back.
小題2:According to the passage, Lexus IS cars were found to have       .

小題3:What is the purpose of regulating a recall system for faulty cars?
A．To limit the sales of imported cars in China.
B．For a better development of national automobile industry of China.
C．In order to show the authority and power of AQSIQ.
D．For a better protection of rights and interests of Chinese consumers.
小題4:What was China’s private auto ownership by the end of 2011?
A．About 93 million units.B．About 110 million units.
C．About 79 million units.D．About 90 million units.

Worried about how many calories you will get in that piece of pizza, chocolate cake or bag of chips? A new iphone application Mealsnap may help. Users just need to take a picture of the meal with the phone, and it will give a calorie read-out almost immediately.
Mealsnap was developed by DailyBurn, a health social network that focuses on helping its users lead healthier lifestyles. It has created several other health and diet-related iphone applications. The applications gives users a quick reply. To do that, it matches the taken picture to a databank containing the calorie information of nearly 500,000 kinds of food. Users then get the range of calories for the meal that is photographed.
We started with something simple — an apple. A couple of minutes later the application replied that it was an apple and between 64 and 96 calories. More impressive was the reply we received after sending a photo of mixed salad bowl. Mealsnap replied that the bowl contained “yellow rice with corn, boiled eggs and beans” and that the food was between 532 and 798 calories.
Mr. Smith, director of DailyBurn, said that usual calorie counting needed a long time, but that the application made it easier to know the calories in food. That’s why it is so popular among those who are trying hard to lose weight.
In addition, Mealsnap can serve as a food diary. No need to write down what they’ve eaten, the photos will be stored. Then users can keep a visual log (記錄). Mr. Smith said: “It’s like a food journal, but easier. All you do is to take the picture. The simple act of recording something can cause a psychological change that can help people on their health journey. Knowing the calorie range makes me think more about what I’m eating.
60. 小題1:The purpose of DailyBurn is to _______.
A．help people have a healthy life
B．make iphone more popular
C．help people find ways to lose weight
D．persuade people to buy iphone products
61. 小題2: We can know from the passage that Mealsnap is ________.
A．a(chǎn) cameraB．a(chǎn) phoneC．a(chǎn) calculatorD．a(chǎn)n application
62. 小題3:What can be learned from the third paragraph?
A．Mealsnap can also tell what the food is.
B．Mealsnap is only useful for simple things.
C．The result of Mealsnap isn’t always right.
D．Mealsnap needs a long time to show the calorie range.
63. 小題4:Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Mealsnap iphones work as a health signal
B．Mealsnap iphones offer you a health signal
C．Mealsnap iphones — the best-selling phones
D．Mealsnap iphones count your calories

Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress(緊張) levels and blood pressure in people—half of them pet owners—while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic(心算) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quick to base line heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall—mostly with their dogs—and found it worth doing.
小題1:The underlined word “subjects” refers to ______.
A．what students learned at school
B．people that were studied
C．those who had pets with them
D．those people without pets
小題2:A person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if _______.
A．he has a pet companion
B．he has less stress of work
C．he often does mental arithmetic
D．he is taken care of by his family
小題3:Why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?
A．They have lower blood pressure.
B．They become more patient.
C．They are less nervous.
D．They are in higher spirits.
小題4:The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that ________.
A．people with dogs did more exercise
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful
小題5:What does the text mainly discuss?
A．What pets bring to their owners.
B．How pets help people calm down.
C．People's opinions of keeping pets.
D．Pet's value in medical research.

A growing number of college students are applying to take entry tests for medical and dental （牙科的） schools among increasing graduate unemployment in Korea.
“I’ve decided to apply for the test to enter a medical college to become a doctor, changing from my original plan to prepare for a lawyer qualification exam in order to get a more stable job in the future,” said a 24-year-old college graduate, Lee, who majored in business administration during his undergraduate schooling.
The new medical and dental school system is getting popularity, attracting an increasing number of students every year since its appearance in 2004, as it is open to all college graduates regardless of their previous majors.
The Education Development introduced the new medical and dental education system, in which college students with bachelor’s degrees are allowed to study medicine or dentistry by taking the Medical Education Test (MET) and Dental Education Test (DET).
Ten medical schools and six dental colleges that have used the new system have received 4,377 applications (申請(qǐng)) for the entrance exams.
Applicants are getting younger compared with those in their 20s representing 76.9 percent of the total. The tests might be easier for students with biology and chemistry majors, but graduates from other majors are also applying for the tests.
Under the existing medical and dental education system, students should take a two-year premedical course followed by a four-year medical course.
Students graduating under the new medical or dental education system are given master’s degrees, while those graduates who studied under the previous system have bachelor’s degrees.
小題1:Why do more and more Korean students apply for medical schools?
A．Because doctors are highly respected in Korea.
B．Because they want to get a more stable job.
C．Because medicine is easier to learn than other subjects.
D．Because the medical education system is reasonable.

A grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC was found by archaeologists in England On May 3, 2002. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.
His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.
小題1:Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man?
A．Tools, a bone pin, a bow and a cushion stone
B．A copper knife and two gold earrings.
C．Two pots, arrows and materials to make arrows.
D．some chicken and grains.
小題2:The man buried in the grave might be ______ at that time.
A．A poor manB．a(chǎn) kind-hearted manC．a(chǎn) rich manD．a(chǎn)n ordinary man
小題3:Why is the man buried in the grave called the "king of Stonehenge" ?
A．He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.
B．He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.
C．He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
D．All of the above.
小題4:We can infer that _______ .

Drunken driving—sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic(流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years.
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or several glasses of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were serious in most courts, but the drunken slaughter(屠宰) has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing(使翻轉(zhuǎn)) a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition(禁止) of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
小題1:From the first paragraph, we can know that _________.
A．most Americans like drinking
B．heavy drinking is hard to avoid
C．many Americans are killed by drunk drivers
D．Americans are not shocked by traffic accidents
小題2:In America, public opinion about drunken driving has changed because ________.
A．judges are no longer serious
B．new laws are introduced in some states
C．the problem has attracted public attention
D．drivers do not appreciate their manly image
小題3:What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A．The legal drinking age should be raised.
B．Young drivers were usually bad.
C．Most drivers hoped to raise the legal drinking age.
D．Drivers should not be allowed to drink.
小題4:Laws recently introduced in some states have _________.
A．reduced the number of deaths.
B．resulted in fewer serious accidents.
C．prevented bars from serving drunken customers.
D．specified the amount drivers can drink.
小題5:Which of the following best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving?
A．It may lead to organized crime.
B．It is difficult to solve this problem.
C．The new laws can stop heavy drinking.
D．There should be no bars to serve drink.

The British usually expect one or two snowfalls each year but the amount of snow rarely affects everyday life. However, this week Britain has had the worst snow it has seen in around 18 years. Some places had more than 30cm in a day.
The bad weather caused severe disruption. More than 3000 schools had to close as teachers and pupils were unable to get to school. School children weren’t too unhappy about it though as they headed out to play the snow, building snowmen, having snowball fights, sledging and some even snowboarding and skiing.
In London, bus services were withdrawn for a day and tubes and trains were cancelled. Major motorways in the country had to close. Many people were unable to get to work and it is thought the cost of this lost labor is around &1 billion (10 billion yuan) to businesses and the economy.
Anyone who wanted to leave the country had problems too. Runways were closed at all the UK’s major airports because of the amount of snow. Hundreds of flights were cancelled leaving some passengers stranded at airports.
So why is the UK so ill-prepared for snow? The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, explained that there aren’t enough snow –ploughs（鏟雪機(jī)）and gritters（撒沙機(jī)）and it doesn’t make sense to buy such equipment when it snows so infrequently.
The south-east of England was the hardest hit at the beginning of the week but the snow is now moving northwards where the chaos continues.
More ice and snow is forecast throughout the week and the advice from travel and weather organizations is to stay indoors unless you really need to venture out!
小題1: Which of the following facts is FALSE according to the passage?
A．More than 3000 schools had to close for the heavy snow.
B．Major motorways in the country had to close for the bad weather.
C．Runways were closed at all the UK’s major airports for the amount of snow.
D．The government organized to clear the snow away with snow-ploughs and gritters.
小題2: What does the underlined phrase venture out probably mean in last paragraph?
A．go outB．search out
C．take no risksD．stay indoors
小題3: What can we learn from the passage?
A．School children seemed happy to head out to play in the snow though schools had to close.
B．The cost of the lost labor reached around 10 billion yuan to businesses and the economy.
C．Hundreds of flights couldn’t land because the runways were closed at major British airports.
D．Tubes and trains in London were cancelled, but drivers were still driving in main motorways.
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．The heavy snow is what the British have been expecting for 18 years.
B．The heavy snow has been a very rare heavy one in the UK for 18 years.
C．The heavy snow doesn't please school children at all.
D．The government isn’t ill-prepared for snow.
小題5:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Harsh Winters Visit Britain
B．Heavy Snow Hits the UK
C．Bad Weather Causes Chaos Just in London
D．Heavy Snow Causes Disruption Only in Motorways

Animal training refers to teaching animals specific responses to specific conditions or stimuli (刺激). Training may be for the purpose of companionship, detection, protection, entertainment or all of the above.
An animal trainer may use various forms of reinforcement (強(qiáng)化) or punishment to condition an animal’s responses. Some animal trainers may have a knowledge of the principles of behavior analysis and operant conditioning (操作性條件反射), but there are many ways to train animals and as a general rule no legal requirements or certifications are required.

Training chickens has become a way for trainers of other animals (primarily dogs) to perfect their training technique. Bob Bailey, former director of Animal Behavior Enterprises and the IQ Zoo, teaches chicken training courses where trainers teach chickens to tell different shapes, to successfully pass through a way with obstacles (障礙) and to chain behaviors together. Chicken training is done using operant conditioning, using a clicker and chicken feed for reinforcement.

Fish can also be trained. For example, a goldfish may swim toward its owner and follow him as he walks through the room, but will not follow anyone else. The fish may swim up and down signaling the owner to turn on its aquarium light when it is off, and it will skim the surface until its owner feeds it. Pet goldfish have also been taught to perform more difficult tasks, such as doing the limbo (a                         kind of dance) and pushing a very small soccer ball into a net.

Among all animals, they are the third cleverest after monkeys and dolphins. Scientists think the training of pigs is easier than the training of dogs and cats. Pigs have a very good sense of smell. They can find things nearby or faraway. They can also help the police to find out drugs at an airport or at a train station.
小題1:The aim of training animals is to _________.
A．detect objects for peopleB．keep people company
C．protect or entertain peopleD．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題2:Which is True according to the passage?
A．Most people teach animals general responses to general conditions.
B．Training animals requires some certifications.
C．Training chickens is a way to improve the trainers’ skills.
D．Chickens can be trained to help the police to find out drugs.
小題3:According to the passage, a fish can _________.
A．be trained to follow anyone
B．turn on its aquarium light when it is off
C．signal its owner to feed it
D．take part in a football game in the field
小題4:Scientists think the training of pigs is easier because _________.
A．pigs do not bite like dogs
B．pigs are smart animals
C．pigs have a good sense of hearing
D．pigs can help find out drugs at an airport
