The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly, but in order to stay shes had to prove her language skills by taking a

17、 test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad. Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民)population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship. Some immigrant

18、 advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合).Others say its only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can

19、 contribute to society. Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures. Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigr

20、ation, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italys then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.

21、5 percent, with immigrants children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy. Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence (居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Eu

22、rope. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration. Italians always see me as a foreigner, an outsider, even though shes stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.1.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?A.To continue t

23、o stay in Italy.B.To teach her children Italian.C.To find a better job in Italy.D.To better mix with the Italians.2.Some people worry that the new language requirement may _.A.reduce Italys population quicklyB.cause conflicts among peopleC.lead to financial difficultiesD.put pressure on schools3.Wha

24、t do we know about Cojochru?A.She lives with her sister now in Italy.B.She enjoys learning the Italian language.C.She speaks Italian well enough for her job.D.She wishes to go back to her home country.4、If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big

25、cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthda

26、ys of their own national heroes. But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in W

27、estern universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest th

28、at Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Busi

29、nessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As

30、 for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.1.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to .A.provide some key facts about ConfuciusB.attract the readers interest in the subjectC.show great respect for the ancient thinkerD.prove the popularity of

32、ten Wisdom in AmericaB.Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC.Chinese Culture for WesternersD.Old Thinker with a Big Future4.The passage is likely to appear in .A.a biographyB.a history paperC.a newspaperD.a philosophy textbook5、 A dragonfly barely an inch and a half long appears to be the animal worlds

33、 most prcnluctive long distance traveler flying thousands of miles over oceansaccording to newly published research. Biologists who led the study say the evidence is in the genes. They found that populations of this dragonfly, called Pantala (lavescens, in Texas, eastern Canada, Japan, Korea,India,

34、and South America, have genes so similar that there is only one likely explanation. Apparentlysomehow一these insects are traveling distances thai are extraordinarily long for iheir small size, breeding (繁殖) with each other, and creating a common worldwide gene pool. But how do insects from different

35、continents manage to meet? Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved These dragonflies have adaptation such as increased surface areas on their wings that enable them to use the wind to carry them. Dragonflies,in fact,have already been observed crossing the Indian Ocean from Asia

36、to Africa. “They are following the weather, says Daniel Troasl, who analyzed the DNA samples in Wares lab. Theyve going from India where its the dry season to Africa where its the wet season, and apparentlythey do it once a year. Wetness is a must for Pantala to reproduce, and that, says Ware, is wh

37、y these insects would be driven to even attempt such a dangerous trip, which she calls a kind of suicide. The species depends on it. While many will die on the roule, as long as enough make it, the species sunives. For the moment, the details of this extraordinary insect travel are an educated best

38、guess. Much more work is needed to bring many loose ends together. Ware and Troast hope that scientists can work on plotting those routes.1.What proves Pantala flavescens are the worlds longest-distance flyers?A.Scientists have tracked the dragonfly across the world.B.There are many Pantala flavesce

39、ns in various continents.C.The same dragonfly was found both in Asia and America.D.Pantala flavescens in different continents have similar genes.2.What helps Pantala flavescens fly a long distance?A.Their special body shape.B.Their ability to use wind.C.Their small and light body.D.Their large and s

40、trong wings.3.What is necessary for Pantala flavescens to reproduce?A.Damp weather.B.Enough sunshine.C.Dry environment.D.Warm nests.4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.The weather.B.The insect.C.The wind.D.The trip.6、 BEIJING (AP)Sandstorms whipping across China shrouded(遮

41、蔽) cities in an unhealthy cloud of sand Monday, with winds carrying the pollution outside the mainland as far as Hong Kong and Taiwan. It was the latest sign of the effects of desertification: Overgrazing,deforestation,urban sprawl(无计划地扩展) and drought have expanded deserts in the countrys north and

42、west.The shifting sands have gradually moved onto populated areas and worsened sandstorms that strike cities, particularly in spring. Winds blowing from the northwest have been sweeping sand across the country since Saturday, affecting Xinjiang in the far west all the way to Beijing in the countrys

43、east. The sand and dust were carried to parts of southern China and even to cities in Taiwan,1,600 miles (2,600 kilometers) away from Inner Mongolia where much of the pollution originated. The sandstorm in Taiwan, an island 100 miles (160 kilometers) away from the mainlands forced people to cover th

44、eir faces to avoid breathing in the grit(砂砾) that can cause chest discomfort and respiratory problems even in healthy people.Drivers complained their cars were covered in a layer of black soot in just 10 minutes.In Hong Kong,environmental protection officials said pollution levels were climbing as t

45、he sandstorm moved south.Twenty elderly people sought medical assistance for shortness of breath. Hong Kongs radio RTHK reported. The latest sandstorm was expected to hit South Korea on Tuesday, said Kim Seung-bum of the Korea Meteorological Administration.The sandstorm that raked(掠过) across China o

46、ver the weekend caused the worst “yellow dust” haze in South Korea since 2005,and authorities issued a rare nationwide dust advisory. Grit from Chinese sandstorms has been found to travel as far as the western United States. Chinas Central Meteorological Station urged people to close doors and windo
