The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly, but in order to stay shes had to prove her language skills by tak
34、ing a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民）population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.Some immigr
35、ant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合）.Others say its only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they
36、can contribute to society.Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immig
37、ration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italys then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7
38、.5percent, with immigrants children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence (居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Eur
39、ope. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.Italians always see me as a foreigner, an outsider, even though shes stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.58. Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?A. To continue
40、to stay in Italy.B. To teach her children Italian.C. To find a better job in Italy.D. To better mix with the Italians.59.

She wishes to go back to her home country.CEnvironmentalists said our planet was bound to die. Now one man says they are wrong
42、. “Everyone knows the planet is in bad shape,” thundered a magazine article last year. “Species are being driven to die out at record rates, and the rivers are so poisonous that fish are floating on the surface, dead.”But theres growing belief that what everyone takes for granted is wrong: Things ar
43、e actually getting better. A new book is about to overturn our most basic assumptions about the worlds environment. Rivers, seas, rain and the atmosphere are all getting better.The total amount of forests in the world is not declining. The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg, professor of st
44、atistics at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, is an attack on the misleading claims of environmental groups, and the “bad news” culture that makes people believe everything is getting worse.Now the attacks are increasingly coming from left-wing environmentalists such as Lomborg, a former member o
45、f Greenpeace. The accusation is that, although the environment is improving, green groups with profits of hundreds of millions of pounds a year are using scare tactics (战术) to gain donations. Lomborgs book doesnt deny global warming probably the biggest environmental threat but destroys almost every
46、 other environmental claim with many official statistics.The Worldwatch Institute claims that deforestation has been accelerating over the last 30 years. Buy Lomborg says that is simply rubbish. Since the dawn of agriculture the world has lost about 20% of its forest cover, but in recent decades the
47、 forest areas depleting has come to a stop. According to UN figures, the area of forests has remained almost steady, at about 30% of total land area, since 1940s. Forests in countries such as the US, UK and Canada have actually been expanding over the past 40 years. Despite all the warnings the Amaz
48、on rainforest has only shrunk by about 15%.Nor are all our species dying out. Some campaigners claim that 50% of all species will have died out within 50 years. But other studies show only 0.08% of species are dying out each year. Conservation efforts have been successful. Whales are no longer threa
49、tened and the bald eagle is off the endangered list.Environmental groups claim that many of the improvements are the results of their campaigns. Stephen Tindale, director of Greenpeace UK, said, “There are important examples, such as acid rain and ozone, where things werent as bad as predicted, and
50、thats because our behaviour changed.”61. What is Lomborgs main argument in The Skeptical Environmentalist?A. Our planet is in bad shape.B. The worlds environment is improving.C. Conservation efforts have been successful.D. The total amount of forests in the world is not declining.62. What is Lomborg
51、s main accusation of environmentalists?A. They changed their behaviour toward the environment.B. They only told people bad news about the environment.C. They scared people into making donations.D. They overturned our basic assumption about the worlds environment.63. The underlined word “depleting” i
52、s closes in meaning to “_”.A. accelerating B. limiting C. expanding D. reducing64. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Are all species dying out? B. Isnt conservation powerful? C. Arent environmentalists wrong? D. Is Our Planet Bound to Die? DTwo things changed my life: m
53、y mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and its true. I would be a different person if my mom hadnt turned a silly bicycle accessory(附属物) into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly
54、fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly dont know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, wed hear something like, I dont care what so-and-so got
55、for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room/ a car for your birthday/ a lavish（奢侈的）sweet 16 party. We had to earn our allowance(零用钱) by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spe
56、nt cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.It was summer and, one day, my mother
57、 drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew I knew I had to have it.Its beautiful, my mother said when I pointed it out to her. What a neat basket.I tried to hold off at first. I p
58、layed it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldnt stand it any longer: Mom, please can I please, please get it? Ill do extra chores for as long as you say. Ill do anything, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?I was desperate.You know, she said, gently rubbing my
59、 back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, If you save up you could buy this yourself.By the time I make enough itll be gone！Maybe Roger here could hold it for you, she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.He cant hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please,
60、Mom, please?There might be another way, she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldnt find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother mak
61、e dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount wed agreed upon.Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood g
62、irl Id played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson Ive taken with me through my life:
63、Honey, your basket is extra-special, Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.65. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. The children enjoyed doing housework.B. The author came from a well-off family.C. The mother raised her child

68、ed as the overuse of the computer which continues despite serious negative consequences for personal, social or occupational functions. However, not all people who spend hours each day on the computer are considered addicted. There are many uses for computers and the Internet and in many cases, an i
69、ndividual may spend 6 or more hours in a day on the computer but still not be considered an addict. Therefore, there is no set number of hours that is considered a potential for computer addiction.But those who are suffering from anxiety and depression caused by stress at work, relationships or fina
70、ncial problems tend to become computer addicts.

Some addicts possess anxious feelings when wanting to use the computer or knowing that time on the comp

The computer can also be used as a form of escapism from reality.Excessive computer use may result in the lack of face-to-face social interaction and an increasing amount of time and money o
73、n hardware, software and computer-related activities. Computer addiction makes one neglect his work, school, or family obligations. He often fails at repeated efforts to control computer use. So its time to seek help for the sake of health.Counseling (心理辅导) or therapy can focus on treating underlyin
74、g mental health conditions that caused the addiction such as anxiety, depression, social trauma or other conditions. Many different options for group or community support are available to assist those addicts. Just getting out and interacting withothers can be very rewarding to the computer addict.
75、Another method is to focus on new interests. For instance, a computer user might take part in a new gym membership, spend time at the movies with friends or go out for a walk. If a computer user does feel that he must go onto the computer, consider talking himself out of the computer use unless it i

If he does go on the computer, he must make a plan for what he will do when on the computer, how long it will take and what time you will be off of the computer.Computer AddictionIntroductionComputer addiction refers to the overuse of the computer (71) of serious negative con

On the one hand, safe food is beneficial to students healthy growth, which lays a solid foundation for their s
89、ustainable development. On the other hand, if they were offered low-quality food, they couldnt keep fit on campus, making their parents worried a lot and compromising their academic performances.Ensuring students having access to safe food is a top priority. To begin with, the government should make
90、 stricter rules. Besides, the school leaders should attach importance to the issue. Whats more, schools are supposed to invite parents and students to supervise school canteens regularly. Only when we join forces can campus food safety be guaranteed.In conclusion, we cant emphasize the importance of campus food safety too much.
