TIJUANA, Mexico – A powerful earthquake swayed （摇动） buildings from Los Angeles to Tijuana, killing two people in Mexico, blacking out cities and forcing the evacuation （疏散） of hospitals and nursing homes．One California city closed off its downtown due to unstable buildings．
The 7．2-magnitude quake centered just south of the US border near Mexicali was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit region in decades．
"It sounds like it's felt by at least 20 million people," USGS seismologist Lucy Jones said．"Most of Southern California felt this earthquake．"
Sunday afternoon's earthquake hit hardest in Mexicali, a commerce center along Mexico's border with California, where authorities said the quake was followed by at least 20 smaller aftershocks, including ones of magnitudes 5．1, 4．5 and 4．3．
"It has not stopped trembling in Mexicali," said Baja California state Civil Protection Director Alfredo Escobedo on Monday．
Escobedo said one man was killed when his home collapsed just outside of Mexicali and another died when he rushed into the street in panic and was struck by a car．At least 100 people were injured in the city, most of them struck by falling objects．Power was out in virtually the entire city．
Susan Warmbier was putting away groceries in the San Diego suburb of Chula Vista when her husband asked, "Is the house moving?"
Elsewhere in San Diego, there were reports of shattered windows, broken pipes and water main breaks in private buildings, but no reports of injuries, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque said．Coronado Bridge over San Diego Bay was briefly closed as a precaution．
Across the border in Tijuana, Mexico, the quake caused buildings to sway and knocked out power in some areas．No tsunami warning was issued, but hundreds of people on Tijuana's crowded beach feared the worst and fled when they felt the ground shake．
What's the best title of the passage?

The 7．2-magnitude quake         ．

Which is NOT true according to the passage?

People got injured mostly         ．

Coronado Bridge over San Diego Bay was briefly closed         ．

"A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker．One percent of all people interviewed said “YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, raising his voice for dramatic effect．"But I can tell you, only a small part of that 1 percent are telling the truth．"
I've met colorful people like Wang all over China．They are cynical（玩世不恭的） yet warmhearted, plain spoken but smart．And many of them are confined（局限于）to work in factories．
Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important natural resource．Their energy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of the world's factory．
But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends: "When I grow up I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life．It's been happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated．Earning 1,200 yuan （$169） per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career．There should be better ways to earn your rice．
Many modern factories no longer have production line workers．Robots do the assembly（装配）．People just do the monitoring．In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder, why are people still standing in production lines?
But life is cheap in China．So why not continue to exploit the low-cost labor situation and keep the economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask．
How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?

A．One percent

B．Only a small part

C．Only a small part of that one percent

D．The writer didn’t mention it．

Which is NOT the writer's opinion of factory workers?

Wang Hongjun is a person who is         ．

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

The world of the science-fiction 3-D film Avatar is so perfect that the line between fact and fiction has become somewhat blurred （模糊）．
Movie-goers have admitted being annoyed by depression at not being able to visit the planet Pandora．Set in the future when Earth's resources have been used up, director James Cameron's film tells the story of a company trying to exploit a rare mineral on a new planet．The humans clash with the natives — a peace-loving race of 7-foot-tall, blue-skinned creatures called the Na'vi, who exist in perfect harmony with nature．
Fans have flooded the Internet with their confused feelings．On the site Avatar Forums （论坛）, the topic "Ways to deal with the depression of the dream of Pandora not being able to come true" has more than 1,000 posts．In a similar forum, Louis, one user, wrote: "When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed grey．It just seems so meaningless．I still don't really see any reason to keep doing things at all．I live in a dying world．" On the Avatar site Naviblue, a fan calling himself Jorba has even asked others to join him in starting a real Na'vi tribe．
This fantasy world, with its wonderful plants and animal life, is brought to life by using impressive special effects．Many people believe that 2010 is the breakthrough year for the technology helped by 3-D movies such as Avatar．"It has taken the best of our technology to create this virtual world and real life will never be as perfect as it seems on screen．It makes real life seem more imperfect．"
What is the best title of the text?

A．A blockbuster movie: Avatar

B．The Avatar effect: movie-goers feel depressed after watching Avatar

C．2010: a breakthrough year for．3-D movies

D．Pandora: a perfect world

We can infer that Louis          after watching the film Avatar．

A．will cherish his present life more

B．feels disappointed about the real world

C．will intend to create a real Na'vi tribe

D．is proud of living on the earth

Thanks to the success of Av'atar,         ．

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs．
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity．The results were astonishing．
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up．
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus．Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them．
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese （very fat） before they start school．
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too．
"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks．"
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%．
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year．
What causes children in the UK to be obese?

What can be inferred from the passage?

Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?

What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?

All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK except         ．

After achieving a 9 percent GDP growth, hosting a successful Olympic Games and carrying out its first space walk the year before last, you'd think China would be happy．__________________．That, at least, is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors．
       China Is Not Happy was published in March, 2009．It is a follow-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular, on China．Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world today．
They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of preeminence （卓越）．"From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world．" the book says．
The authors, single out the US for special scorn （轻蔑）．"The economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, that what we've been saying is right," said one of the authors．
The book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores．Yet much of the response to the book has been negative．Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book's radical （激进的） opinions．The book is a way to "fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly," wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily．Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism （爱国主义）, but there is a limit．In her blog she wrote, "If we are to bully （欺负） other countries, take the world's resources and try to lead it, we're going over the top．"
