阅读理解。     The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood,
when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It
varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, and what sort of drinks you"ve had. Some
people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.
     In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you"re below the legal
limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.
     It takes hours for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy
drinking session in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning,
or you could even find that you"re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you"ve had a few drinks at
lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit till late
in the night.
     In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they
were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts and the less able they were
to do it! So the only way to be sure you"re safe is not to drink at all.
     Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents
have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest
cause of death among young men. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath
analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.
     It is important to remember that driving after you"ve been drinking doesn"t just affect you. If you"re
involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure.1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Three standard drinks may cause some people to reach the legal limit.
B. There is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach the legal limit.
C. The legal limit for driving after drinking is 0.08g of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood.
D. The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching legal limit is the same for different people. 2. We may find that the alcohol in our blood is over the legal limit in the evening after we had a few drinks at noon because ________.A. the drinks are too strong
B. the alcohol in our drink is likely to get out of our body
C. our body needs some time to get the alcohol out of our body
D. our body is sensitive to alcohol3. We may infer that even a professional driver ________ if he drinks heavily.A. will probably fail to pass through a set of movable posts
B. will certainly pass through a set of movable posts
C. will hardly be confident of their ability to pass through a set of movable posts
D. will be absolutely capable of passing through a set of movable posts.4. This passage indicates that ________.A. a driver who does not take any alcohol will not die in road accidents
B. those who drink must be killed
C. more young men die in drink-related accidents than in any other way
D. one in three of the drivers often drinks a lot5.One of the writer"s purposes in writing the passage is to tell you that ________.A. young men should never drive quickly
B. driving after drinking may put many lives at risk
C. safe drinking is impossible
D. the manner of drinking is meaningless

阅读理解     The Kingdome in Seattle was destroyed on March 26,2000. It was taken down to make room for a
new stadium. The blast(爆破)from the falling building caused the earth to shake as if an earthquake had
happened.
     Scientists placed more than 200 earthquake recorders in the earth to measure the movement. They
found which parts of the city shook the most. This information helped them know which parts of the city
would be damaged in a real earthquake at an early time.
     A real earthquake happened on February 28, 2001 in Seattle. The Nisqually earthquake was 6.8 on
the Richter scale(里氏). It damaged the same parts of Seattle that scientists had predicted from the pulling down of the Kingdome. It was a plate quake. It started deep in the earth, 37 miles below the surface on
the Juan de Fuca Plate. Sometimes,huge plates under the earth cause earthquakes when the plates move
against each other suddenly.
     Scientists have learned that deep earthquakes have very few aftershocks. The Nisqually earthquake
had only 4 ones. Another earthquake in California that was close to the surface had over 120 aftershocks. Scientists do not know why the deep earthquakes have fewer aftershocks.
     Scientists plan to blast in the ground near Seattle with the purpose of testing the plate. The
shockwaves from the blast will jump off the plate and give them all idea of where the plate is and how it
is moving. This will give them more information in case another real earthquake hits the area.    1. What will happen after a deep earthquake according to the scientists?A. There will be very few aftershocks        
B. There will be many aftershocks.
C. There will be little damage.  
D. The Richter scale of the quakes will be 6.8 or more. 2. According to the passage,                 have the most aftershocks. A. deep earthquakes    
B. shockwave earthquakes
C. earthquakes more than 6.8 Richter scale
D. earthquakes close to the surface 3. By studying the blast in the ground near Seattle, scientists hope to              .   A. destroy the Kingdome
B. find out how many plates there are in the ground there
C. learn where the plate is and how it is moving
D. know which places are likely to have the most damage

     According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and
postgraduate programmes on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998. Although
no latest official numbers were available, Netbig.com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 per cent

Chinese mainland colleges and universities. "Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more

market," Netbig.com vice-president Ingrid Huang said. "I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people," said
Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shi Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a

Yang Chingyao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies.
     A Netbig.com survey showed the campuses favoured by Taiwanese students included Beijing,
Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most
popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.

阅读理解。    Ever since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye(颜料) broke, there has
been confusion over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no
connection whatever.
   Sudan 1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food
products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003.
   Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from
the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled.
Last week Sudan"s Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for
clarification of the origin of the dye"s name.
   Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudan"s Embassy in China, explained the purpose
of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous
dye.
"We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there," she said. "Our embassy
to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our
country. But they told us there was no relationship."
   The FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanese
embassy last week.
    "They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name,"
she said. "People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we
cannot give any explanation before we find out."
   Sudan dyes, which include Sudan 1 to 4, are red dyes used for colouring solvents(溶剂), oils,
waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishes. They are classified as carcinogens by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer. 1. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph one?A. Causing cancer.
