Dear Tom,
I am very glad that you asked me the question about the problem with the “left-behind students” in China.
In fact, it’s a special phenomenon that exists in most rural areas. Many parents leave for big cities far away from their homes to earn money while the children are taken care of by their grandparents.
Owing to lack of parental control, some children neglect their studies, and some behave rudely towards others, and some even do something against the law. Thus, left-behind students have become one of the top social problems.
As far as I’m concerned, to solve this problem, parents should keep in constant contact with children by phone or email and the government should take measures to show concern for left-behind students.
Best regards,
Li Hua

A
Thursday, October 21, 2004
A gas explosion at a coal mine in central China has killed at least 56 people and left some others missing.
It is one of the worst mine accidents in recent years, and officials said the chances of finding anyone still alive were slim.
More than 400 people were working in the Daping Mine in the city of Xinmi, Henan province, when the explosion happened late on Wednesday.
More than 200 people escaped but 56 miners were confirmed dead, and rescuers were searching for survivors, Xinhua News agency reported. But Sun Huashan, deputy administrator（副部长） of the State Administration of Work Safety, said their chances for survival were “rather slim”.
The bureau supervising Henan coal mine safety was also pessimistic（悲观的）.
“The situation is very tough in the mine. The gas is very dense（浓密的）, and in such conditions, it’s hard to survive,” an official at the bureau told the French news agency AFP.
Thousands of people died in some poorly regulated mines each year, despite the government promises to improve safety.
Official figures released on Thursday showed that 4,153 people died in mining accidents in China in the first three quarters of this year — a figure 13% lower than last year’s.
36．The passage probably comes from .
A. a newspaper B. a diary C. a story book D. a survey
37．About _________ people were dead or missing in the gas explosion.
A. 400 B. 200 C. 246 D. 140
38．What did the officials mean by saying “the chances of finding anyone still alive were slim”?
A. it’s hopeful to find someone alive
B. it’s not unlikely to find one alive
C. it’s almost impossible for them to live in such a hard situation
D. they would give up rescuing and searching
39．The passage tries to tell us __________.
A. one of the worst coal mine accidents
B. how to avoid coal mine accidents
C. many coal mine accidents happen in China
D. the decrease of deaths in mining accidents of the year
B
When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed with swimming, camp, and family vacations, it can be a challenge to find time for learning. But kids’reading skills don’t have to grow cold once school’s out. Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun:
Explore your library. Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven’t seen before. Many libraries have summer reading programs, book clubs, and reading contests for even the youngest borrowers. With a new library card, a child will feel extra grown-up checking out books.
Read on the road. Going on a long car trip? Make sure the back seat is stocked with favorite reads. When you’re not at the wheel, read the books aloud. Get some audiobooks ( many libraries have large selections) and listen to them together during driving time.
Make your own books. Pick one of your family’s favorite parts of summer—whether it’s baseball, ice cream, or the pool—and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines. Stick the pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it. When you’re done, read the book together. Reread it whenever you like!
Keep in touch. Kids don’t have to go away to write about summer vacation. Even if your family stays home, they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures. Ask a relative to be your child’s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
Keep up the reading habits. Even if everything else changes during the summer, keep up the reading routines around your house. Read with your kids every day—whether it’s just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon. And don’t forget to take a book to the beach! Just brush the sand off the pages—it’s no sweat!
40．The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. encourage parents to read B. give advice on raising kids
C. raise a good summer reader D. suggest places for vacations
41．If you drive on a long trip in summer, you can _______.
A. visit the local library and join book clubs
B. borrow some audio books to listen to
C. keep in touch with friends by sending postcards
D. read your own picture books with your son
42．By saying “Just brush the sand off the pages—it’s no sweat”, the author means________.
A. taking away the sand on the book is very difficult
B. a special book is needed when you’re reading on the beach
C. one can remove the sand on the book with a brush easily
D. there’s no trouble reading even on the beach
43．Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A. Parents B. Students C. Teachers D. Editors
C

?Isaac Newton：The Last Sorcerer
Michael White
From the author of Stephen Hawking：A Life in Science, comes this colorful description of the life of the world’s first modern scientist. Interesting yet based on fact, Michael White‘s learned yet readable new book offers a true picture of Newton completely different from what people commonly know about him. Newton is shown as a gifted scientist with very human weaknesses who stood at the point in history where magic (魔术)ended and science began.

?Fermat's Last Theorem
Simon Singh
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world‘s greatest mathematical problem：Fermat’s Last Theorem (定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Poly-technique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat‘s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.

If women are mercilessly exploited（剥削）year after year, they have only themselves to blame, because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion. They are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth ,comfort and durability（耐用）. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability（不稳定）?Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanged styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide. 48．Designers and big stores always make money _____. A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions C. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing D. because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing 49．The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _____ of
clothing. A. cost B. appearance C. comfort D. suitability 50．By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious” (Para.4, Line1), the writer means that
_____. A. women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at B. women are better able to put up with discomfort C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa．__51__ We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways — and with different motives（动机）． __52__ A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife．It also joins two families, which benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy．Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age．Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry． Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals（仪式）． __53__ In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue．" Something old represents the past．Something new represents success in the future．Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family．__54__ In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical．The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing．The money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life．In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home．Once they move in, they take good care of the tree, making it grow and blossom．The planting of the tree is a good metaphor（隐喻）for marriage．__55__ A．Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple． B．A truly good marriage is something that grows with care． C．In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children． D．And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband． E．Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own．
