• 2．I've spent over a year in India，and in those 365 plus days，I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated，particularly by taxi and rickshaw （人力車） drivers，but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel，as long as you know what you' re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi，India，and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams （欺騙）.
     Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are，if you arrive in Delhi by plane，as soon as you make it through customs，you' II be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport，be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport，and one is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police，rather than by independent taxi drivers.
     Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities，partly because it' s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common，but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw，you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees，depending on distance.
     If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals，take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are，however，very cheap.A bus trip won' t set you back any more than 15 rupees，as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded，try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
     The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable，between six and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English，and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.
  
  （1）To avoid being cheated，you ought to

  if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.
  A．pay more to the drivers to keep safe
  B．show your ticket to the driver
  C．go to a police-run booth
  D．go out of the airport
  （2）T he author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to

  .
  A．save some money
  B．gain some unique experience
  C．enjoy the comfortable trip
  D．help the local rickshaw drivers
  
  （3）What can we infer from the passage？

  
  A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.
  B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.
  C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.
  D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.
  （4）Which may be the topic that follows？

  
  A．Car rentals in Delhi
  B．Food and drink：in Delhi
  C．Weather conditions in Delhi
  D．Hotel recommendations in Delhi

• 3．Imagine putting a seed in a freezer，waiting 30，000 years，and then taking the seed out and planting it.Do you think a flower would grow？
     Amazingly，scientists have just managed to do something very similar.They found the fruit of an ancient plant that had been frozen underground in Siberia- -a region covering central and eastern Russia- -for about 31，800 years.Using pieces of the fruit，the scientists grew plants in a lab.The new blooms have delicate white petals.They are also the oldest flowering plants that researchers have ever revived from a deep freeze.
     "This is like regenerating a dinosaur from tissues of an ancient egg，"said Jane Shen-Miller，a biologist of University of California，Los Angeles.
     The plant has a long history.Back when mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses walked on the land，an Arctic ground squirrel buried seeds and fruits in an underground chamber near the Kolyma River in northeastern Siberia.The ground became permafrost，a layer of soil that stays frozen for a long time.
     Recently，Russian scientists dug out the old squirrel（松鼠）hole and found the plant remains 38 meters below the surface.Back at the lab，the team fed nutrients to tissue from three of the fruits to grow shoots.Then the scientists transferred the shoots to pots filled with soil.The plants produced seeds that could be used to grow even more of them.
     It' s important for scientists to know that plant tissues can still be revived after being frozen for a long time.That' s because many researchers are trying to preserve the seeds of modem plants by freezing them and then storing them in giant lockers at various spots around the globe.One such endeavor，an underground facility in Norway，is called the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.It stores hundreds of thousands of frozen seeds.If a plant ever goes extinct（滅絕），scientists could bring it back by taking its seeds from the Svalbard or other storage lockers.
     "No one knows how long they are able to live for，but freezing is basically the format for many plant conservation attempts nowadays，" Jane Shen-Miller said.It' s a good thing that at least some plants are tough enough to survive in the experience.
  
  （1）How are the fruit originally get underground？

  
  A．It was buried there after the earthquake.
  B．It was trapped there during the ice-age.
  C．I was planted there by ancient farmers.
  D．It was placed there by an animal.
  （2）Why are scientists interested in this discovery？

  
  A．It helps them learn how plant life has changed in the past 30，000 years.
  B．It can help guide future efforts to protect endangered plant-life.
  C．It can provide directions for where to look for other ancient plants.
  D．It proves that all plant life can survive for thousands of years when frozen.
  （3）The underlined word"they"in the final paragraph refers to

  .
  A．plants
  B．seeds
  C．scientists
  D．storage lockers
  （4）The purpose of the passage is to

  .
  A．discuss a plant conservation effort
  B．introduce some ancient plants
  C．outline some causes of global warming
  D．describe a scientific research project

• 4．Sports accounts for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies．Many television companies have used sports to attract views from particular sections of the general public，and then they have sold audiences to advertisers．
     An attraction of sports programs for the major U．S．media company is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons - the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing．Sport events are the most popular weekend programs，especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week．This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming．Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports．The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers．They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers，cars and life insurance．
     Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming．These sports attract few viewers，and the ratings（收視率） are unusually low．However，the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers．It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States，including many lawyers and business managers．This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars，business and personal computers，and holiday trips．This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings．Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of "company cars" and computers．With such viewers，these programs don't need high ratings to stay on the air．
  
  （1）Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs？

  
  A．Because there would be few viewers
  B．Because the advertisers would be off work．
  C．Because television programs would go slowly．
  D．Because viewers would pay less for watching television．
  （2）In many families，men make decisions on

  ．
  A．holiday trips
  B．sports viewing
  C．television shopping
  D．expensive purchases
  （3）Why are the ratings not important for golf and tennis programs？

  
  A．their advertisers are carmakers
  B．their viewers are attracted by sports
  C．their advertisers target at rich people．
  D．their viewers can afford expensive cars
  （4）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．Television ratings are determined by male viewers．
  B．Rich viewers contribute most to television companies．
  C．Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television．
  D．Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events．

• 5．（1）

  You probably think you will never be a top student．This is not necessarily so，however．Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to．Here's how：
     Plan your time carefully．When planning your work，you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list，you should make a schedule of your time．First your time for eating ，sleeping，dressing，etc．Then decide a good，regular time for studying．（2）

  A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems，but it will force you realize what is happening to your time．
     Find a good place to study．Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials．No games，radios，or television．When you sit down to study，concentrate on the subject．
     Make good use of your time in class． （3）

  Listening carefully in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says．
     Study regularly．When you get home from school，go over your notes，review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read that material． （4）

  If you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you'll remember it longer．
     Develop a good attitude towards tests．The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．They help you remember your new knowledge．The world won't end if you don't pass a test，so don't be over worried．
