QINGDAO - Water and power supplies have been restored in the East Chinese city of Qingdao, the site of an oil pipeline explosion on Friday, the local government said on Monday.
Crude oil began leaking (泄漏) from the pipeline at 3:00 am Friday in Qingdao in Shandong province. The valves（阀门）of the Huangdao oil warehouse were shut about 15 minutes later.
The oil spill（泄漏的石油) then flowed into the city’s rainwater pipe network, which empties into Jiaozhou Bay. Explosions occurred at two locations around 10:30 am Friday when workers were clearing the spill.
According to the local government, about 85 percent of public heating and 90 percent of the gas supply were also brought back to normal as of Monday.
Residents who have been taken to temporary settlements are receiving bottled water and bread.
Most schools and kindergartens have reopened classes after Friday’s oil pipeline explosion. No injuries and deaths of students or teachers have been reported following the explosions at an underground pipeline operated by Sinopec. The school buildings of one middle school in the district were seriously damaged during the explosions. Education authorities have arranged psychological help for students and teaching staff. All other 18 schools and kindergartens in the district reopened classes on Monday.
As of Monday noon, the death toll from the explosion had risen to 55, with 9 people still missing and 136 hospitalized. According to local police, 49 bodies have been identified so far, and 42 of them were male victims. As of Monday morning, the blood supply in Qingdao was enough for the injured after more than 950 people in the city donated more than 340,000 ml of blood in the wake of the incident.
Increased use of the Internet and mobile phones is undermining pupils’ ability for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.
Cranfield School of Management found almost six in ten schoolchildren were copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.
More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).
The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.
Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsession(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning. ”
“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”
The report revealed that so-called “text-speak” was increasingly finding it was into pupils’ school work.
Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as “r u ok” in essays and classroom tasks.
It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils’ writing because it was so full of confusing language.
Phrases such as“innit”and“Gr8”were regularly found in school work.
The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.
More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.
24. It can be inferred from what Kakabadse said that .
A. he is in favour of students’ mobile phone usage at school
B. he believes schools are responsible for technology obsession
C. the research finds a new way to improve school management
D. it is hard to limit students’ mobile phone usage at school
25. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most students’ writing skills are becoming worse.
B. Students like to invent new words in their writing.
C. Text message language may affect pupils’ language skills.
D. 30% pupils often send text messages when studying.
26. What’s the attitude of the author to the problem?
A. Anxious.
B. Approving.
C. Optimistic.
D. Tolerant.
When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault."or"I know I'm late,but it's not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague(同事) fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
27. According to the passage, winners_______________.
A. have responsible and able colleagues
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their eyes
C. deal with problems rather than blame others
D. blame themselves rather than others
28. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. avoid
B. accept
C. improve
D. consider
29. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should __________.
A. ask a more able colleague for help
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. find a better way to deal with the problem
30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Winner's Achievement.
B. A Winner's Problem.
C. A Winner's Opportunity.
D. A Winner's Secret.
D
The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as “would you really marry a woman who works?” And today it’d be “would you marry one who doesn’t?”
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.
Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he brought her typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
31. The book Gone with the Wind was_______.
A. written in “ The Dump”
B. awarded ten Academy Awards
C. first published on a newspaper
D. adapted from a movie
32. The underlined phrase “tower over”in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_?
A. be very pleased with
B. be much taller than
C. show great respect for
D. show little interest in
33. Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?
A. Because she was rich enough.
B. Because she was injured then.
C. Because her husband didn’t like it.
D. Because she wanted to write books.
34. We can know about Margaret Mitchell from the passage that________.
A. her height made her marriage unhappy

第节 完形填空30分My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.
The first two

42
for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them.
As we were
43
on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them
off at the walls or floor. However, one lady
45
my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn’t
46

47
with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got.
48
she was singing, she was also
49
out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my

51
to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling

about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.
Justin also
53
the same lady. The difference between us is that he
54
on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her
55
and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my
56
to let you know that.”
This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No
57
can completely describe that touching moment...
It
58
a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love. Justin’s example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was a
59
that I will never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself
60
to have witnessed his lesson.
