summit in London, the two leaders pledged that both countries will be working together to help the world resist the financial crisis.

President Hu Jintao and US President Barack Obama made the announcement to the press before they went into the official meeting, their first, at Winfield House, residence of the US ambassador to the UK.
Although it is thei
r first meeting, they have kept a close contact, which Obama said will “set the stage” for both countries “to tackle the challenges in the years to come. ”Both presidents highlighted the importance of China-US relations, especially during the current economic crisis.
Obama said he hoped their meeting will be constructive and open not only about the whole state of the world economy during the current crisis, but to the efforts to improve peace and security for both countries and the world.

Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry"s trade association, CTIA, estimates（估计）more than 48billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation"s emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission（FCC）with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
"The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers -telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction（绑架）emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
小题1:What is the purpose of the approved plan?
| A．To warn people of emergencies via messages. |
| B．To popularize the use of cell phones. |
| C．To estimate the monthly number of messages. |
| D．To promote the wireless industry. |
A．CTIA B the Warning Alert and Response Network
C．FCC D．federal regulators
小题3:An alert message will NOT be sent if________.
| A．a child loses his way |
| B．a university shooting happens |
| C．a natural disaster happens |
| D．a terrorist attack occurs |
| A．Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students |
| B．Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry |
| C．Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters |
| D．Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon |
Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London.
In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City.
As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.
“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert.
Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I’ll stay in London,” she said.
There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition,” said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. “I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”
But certainly not cheaper. In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.
Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice. Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don’t have to choose. “I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized,” she said. “In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares.”

| A．People can do everything in London. |
| B．People will feel lonely in London. |
| C．People in London enjoy living in different ways. |
| D．People in London enjoy a lawless life. |
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip(闲谈), to the “serious”, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions, American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.
Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist(极端主义的) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate(中立的). Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other countries, American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals(丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair(水门事件). The Newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.

| A．supporting extremist groups from time to time |
| B．inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for them |
| C．avoiding carrying articles about extremists |
| D．printing articles representing different political viewpoints |
| A．the characteristics of American newspapers |
| B．the development of American newspapers |
| C．the functions of American newspapers |
| D．the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers |
Eventually,we learned how to use the Mistaken Identity Syndrome (MIS) to our advantage.For example,we would play tricks on our friends and classmates,pretending to be the other twin.Nor were teachers immune(不受某事物影响) to our tricks.On at least one occasion,when Kirk was sick,I covered for (替代) him by taking his tests.We also tried our little game out on Mom,but she always knew who was who.Once we grew up，we even covered for each other at work.We didn"t mean any harm;we simply started this as an experiment to see whether our bosses and co-workers could tell the difference.
As a bank manager, I meet with dozens of clients(顾客) on a daily basis, while my brother manages a staffing service for local employers. As a result, Kirk is constantly approached by people who want to discuss their various money accounts, while I"m frequently thanked on the street as a department store customer service representative.
However, the MIS took a truly embarrassing turn when Kirk and I found ourselves unable to tell each other apart. Once, my brother and I were traveling in a car with several friends. My brother"s hair must always be in place. Kirk was driving when he noticed in the rearview mirror (后视镜) that his hair was a bit messy.
He lifted his right hand to brush his hair back into place and was disturbed when his hand didn"t appear in the mirror. Several times he repeated this action. Finally, he started laughing.
小题1:According to the first paragraph, we know that .
| A．few people can tell the author from Kirk |
| B．the author was punished more than Kirk |
| C．the author was always rewarded though he was wrong |
| D．being twins is really a good thing for both twins |
| A．a kind of disease difficult to cure |
| B．the situation of mistaking identities |
| C．the tricks that children like to play |
| D．the way to separate two similar things |
| A．he is often successful |
| B．he means to harm his boss |
| C．his brother is seriously ill |
| D．he often behaves strangely |
| A．He felt embarrassed about his hair. |
| B．His brother"s hair was really messy. |
| C．His brother was doing the same thing. |
| D．He became the victim of the MIS. |
Other people may fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to (一定会) make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
In a word, you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
小题1:The passage suggests that ______.
| A．a good writer may not be a good speaker |
| B．a good writer is always a good speaker |

| B．may not be an intelligent student |
| C．will score better in exams |
| D．will not be a good student |
A. his teachers B,his deeds in the classroom
C. his appearance D. his reactions to different situations
小题4:The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to______.
| A．judge a book by its cover |
| B．make the mistake of thinking a young man stupid |
| C．overestimate a student’s intelligence |
| D．judge a person’s intelligence by his appearance |
