China is working hard to deal with the contaminated(被污染的)milk products scandal（丑闻）, which has so far left four babies dead, a senior official with the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday.
Dr Shigeru Omi, director of the WHO Western Pacific regional office, told a press conference that China is taking the issue "seriously".
"After admitting the problems, the Chinese government is very serious about the matter and I hope the situation will be brought under control as soon as possible," Omi said.
The WHO is assisting China in looking into the scandal but will not conduct its own investigations(调查), Omi said.
Globalization means the scandal that started in China is a problem for people around the world, he said.
"Every country can be affected, so the international community should work together to solve the problem," he said.
Since the scandal over the contaminated dairy products broke, 6,244 infants have fallen ill, 150 have been diagnosed with acute kidney failure(肾衰竭), and four have died.
Investigations have shown the babies were made sick by the presence of melamine （三聚氰胺）in milk formula（配方奶粉）. Anothony Hazzard, a food safety specialist at the WHO"s Western Pacific regional office, said the decision by some countries to recall milk products imported from China was "reasonable".
"I think many countries decided on the recall, I think under this kind of situation when the picture is not yet clear, it a very reasonable position that countries take."

Glacier National Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada, an American Indian reservation, and a national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the park also borders about 17,000 acres of private lands that are currently used for ranching, timber, and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are essentially the only ones available for development in the region.
With encouragement from the park, local landowners initiated a landuse planning effort to guide the future of the North Fork. The park is a partner in an interlocal agreement that calls for resourcemanaging agencies to work together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. Voluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the park and the county, is helping to restrict smalllot subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment.
The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection effort may have been stimulated by concerns that congress would impose a legislative solution. Nevertheless, many local residents want to retain the existing character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved understanding of all concerns.
73. The passage mainly discusses ______.
A. the endangered species in Glacier National Park
B. the protection of lands surrounding Glacier National Park
C. conservation laws imposed by the state of Montana
D. conservation laws imposed by Congress 
74. Why are the private lands surrounding Glacier National Park so important?
A. They function as a hunting preserve.B. They are restricted to government use.

75. The relationship between park officials and neighboring landowners may best be    described as ______.
A. indifferent                      B. intimate C. cooperative               D. disappointing
76. It can be inferred from the passage that a major interest of the officials of Glacier     National Park is to ______.
A. limit land development around the park       B. establish a new park in Montana
C. influence national legislation           D. settle border disputes with Canada 

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Anchors on China Central Television (CCTV) will need to do some fast talking to replace the popular English acronyms(首字母缩略词) they’re now banned from using. Shanghai Daily reports that “anchors at China Central Television [CCTV] have been banned from saying the Engli

sh acronyms NBA, CBA, GDP, and the like in their programs.”
The replacement for those handy acronyms? Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name, standardized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
Although CCTV (oops, we mean China Central Television) presenters must already have a score of at least 94 in their government-rated oral Mandarin proficiency exam, saying the full name of organizations like the CBA or WTO ― 10 and 6 character’s long separately ― is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors. CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily, “A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips. It is a little trouble but a necessary one because not every audience member can understand the initials.”
Although the government isn’t giving any official explanation for the shift, it is believed to have to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi, director of the China International Publishing Group, at March’s NPC meeting. In his speech, Huang said, “With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English, measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese. If we don’t pay attention and don’t take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English, Chinese won’t be a pure language in a couple of years.”
Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages (the French and Québécois beat them to it by a long way), acronyms are more about saving time than they

are about corrupting a language, we would think. Good luck to the CCTV anchors.
56. CCTV anchors have to “do some fast talking” because they can no longer ______.
A. speak as slowly as they like                    B. mix English into Chinese
C. use shortened Chinese expressions           D. have so much time for their program
57. According the writer, “CBA” is supposed to be replaced with “______” by CCTV anchors.
A. 中国男子篮球甲级联赛                       B. 中国篮球协会全国男女篮球职业联赛
C. 中国篮球联赛                                     D. The Chinese Basketball Association
58. When Sun Zhengping said “if my tongue slips”, he meant “if I _____”.
A. habitually use an English acronym          B. speak a little bit too fast
C. make a mistake in pronunciation             D. say something impolite or improper
59. What’s Huang Youyi’s proposal?
A. Using full English names instead of short forms.
B. Translating Chinese terms into proper English.
C. Avoiding Chinese words mixing into English.
D. Keeping our mother tongue as a pure language.
60. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph？
A. China has fallen behind in the matter.      B. The ban is not necessary.
C. Chinese shouldn’t be corrupted

. D. CCTV anchors will have a hard time.

Britain"s most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found.
Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day. The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie. It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang.
Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men.
The second most common fib（无关紧要的谎言） is “I haven"t got any cash on me” when asked for money by tramps (流浪者), beggars and Big Issue sellers. “Nothing"s wrong – I"m fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”.
Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn"t get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place.
Other lies to make the top ten included “I"ll give you a ring”, “We"re just good friends” and “We"ll have to meet up soon”. “I"m on my way” and “No, your bum doesn"t look big in that” completed the top ten.
Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.
In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults.
66. Whether the person being called has pushed the “ignore” button or ______, the calle

r at the other end hears the same tone.
A. really has no signal                               B. can’t get the text
C. has a battery failure                            D. answers the call
67. Most people think women are better liars because ______.
A. there’re more women liars                            B. fewer women liars are found out
C. women tell less harmful lies                   D. women are harder to convince
68. “Our server was down” is perhaps a lie told as an excuse for not ______.
A. inviting a friend to dinner                      B. responding to an e-mail
C. coming to a party on time                      D. cleaning one’s room
69. “You look lovely” and “I’m on my way” rank _____ on the popular-lie list.
A. 3rd and 8th               B. 5th and 10th          C. 4th and 9th        D. 5th and 12th
70. The OnePoll spokesman seems to think it’s ______ for the British to lie so much.
A. puzzling             B. disgusting             C. impossible          D. reasonable

Section One
The city is an accumulation of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher (哲学家) Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact, has been designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin (拉丁语的) word “civitas”(meaning “city” ), and it is by no means a coincidence. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of order in human society.
Section Two
The emblem, showing the ima

ge of three people ― you, me, him/her holding hands together, symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世” (meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers" wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which showcases the various urban cultures of the world.
Section Three

The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke supports each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help. If the human are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available. Such an urban life will be nice.
Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China ― “World Expo 2010 Shanghai China welcomes you!”
