A
Scars of Love
Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.
He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator（短吻鳄） was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma （外伤）, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”
You and I can identify with （认同） that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.
56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son
C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator
57. From the passage we can infer ________.
A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go
B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator
C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms
D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs
58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?
A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.
C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.

B
Frankfurt: Renault SA Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn said the future of electric cars depends on a rebound (反弹) in oil prices that may boost sales of the battery –powered vehicles he’s spending 4 billion euros ($ 5.9 billion) to develop.
“If oil is less than $ 70, we are going to have a problem,” Ghosn said in an interview at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Renault pledged to sell 100,000 electric cars by 2016 in Israel and Denmark, the first two countries to hire the Paris-based company’s US partner Better Place to roll out nationwide networks of battery-charging swapping stations.
Ghosn is pitting (绞尽脑汁)electric cars from Renault and Japanese affiliate Nissan Motor Co against a new generation of smaller, cheaper gasoline electric hybrids from rivals including Toyota Motor Corp. The French company’s Fluence sedan, on show for the first time in Frankfurt, will become the world’s first mass-market electric car if the agreement with Better Place pays off.
“The outlook for investors in electric cars is extremely dangerous, but if oil prices take off again, there may be a significant commercial opportunity and big rewards,” said Peter Schmidt, managing director of Warwick, England-based consulting firm Automotive Industry Data.
The price of oil, which stood at $70.75 a barrel（桶） by this morning in Europe, will rise to $75 tomorrow, based on the median（中间数）of 35 estimates ranging from $40 to $110. It’s likely to fluctuate （波动）between $80 and $92 through 2013, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The higher oil prices are, the better it will be for electric cars.
B. Sales of electric cars depend on the new design.
C. The agreement with Better Place pays off.
D. The quality of battery-powered autos can not be guaranteed.
60. The sentence “But if it’s at $ 200, the economic equation’s very easy, and if it’s more than $ 200, even easier.” can be put at the end of _________.
A. paragraph one              B. paragraph two           
C. paragraph three             D. paragraph four
61. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Fluctuation of oil prices              B. Bad future for electric cars
C. Oil price holds key for electric autos   D. A promising CEO

The Focal Point of the “ Chinese Liquor Golden Triangle”
In China, there is a saying: a good spirit(wine) is in Sichuan, but the great one is in Yibin.
Yibin, the birthplace of Wuliangye, has a centuries-old tradition of producing great spirits. At the confluence of Jinsha and Min rivers, Yibin is praised as the first city on the source of the Yangtze River. Here, the water is clean, the soil is rich, and the climate is very favorable for brewing good liquor. The blessings of nature and centuries-old liquor brewing traditions gave rise to “ The Ten-Mile Liquor City ”, the main production facility of domestic liquor giant Wuliangye Group Co. Ltd.
Extending across 10 kilometers and dotted with gardens and sculptures, the city attracts domestic and foreign visitors with its famed liquor brewing and related culture. Another attraction is its legendary Ming Dynasty (1368-1644AD) liquor cellars (酒窖，地下储藏室).
The city has 30,000 large modern brewing tanks that provide an enormous capacity to store liquor.
The high quality of Wuliangye also owes much to its unique brewing techniques and materials. These traditional techniques are included on the list of national intangible（非物质的） cultural heritage.
Wuliangye’s sales revenues（销售额）and pre-tax profits accounted for nearly half of the respective （分别的） 59 billion yuan and 12.5 billion yuan generated by Sichuan’s provincial liquor industry in 2008. Liquor production by large enterprises in the province was about 1.1 million kiloliters, accounting for 19.6% of the production in the country.
Wuliangye is now investing 300 million yuan in a state-of-the-art quality assurance center (质保中心)that has higher standards than national requirements, which will boost the existing quality-control system when it is put into service next year.
With a goal of production value of 100 billion yuan for the year of 2020, Wuliangye is playing a leading role in the development of the liquor industry in the region. A lot of related industries are now building up in the region to create a Chinese Liquor Golden Triangle —the Chinese equivalent （相当于）of the French Bordeaux region---that continues to appear on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
67. To be exact, the domestic liquor giant Wuliangye Group Co. Ltd. Lies _________.
A. on the Jinsha River              B. in the city of Yibin
C. to the west of Sichuan            D. on the middle reaches of the Youngtze River
68. Which of the following is the most favorable for brewing the good wine?
A. The water       B. The soil         C. The climate          D. The facility     
69. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage above ?
A. Compared with the western countries, Chinese wines have a long way to go.
B. The Golden Triangle is known for its wines and related industries.
C. Wuliangye’s pre-tax profit accounted for nearly 6.25 billion in 2008.
D. The liquor production of our country in 2008 is about 5,6 million kiloliters.
70. Domestic and foreign visitors go to the city for its _______.
A. famous wine brewing and related culture
B. beautiful geographical landscape
C. historic relics of different Chinese dynasties
D. the source of the Yangtze River

The art of Palmistry (手相术)
Palm reading, or palmistry, is the ancient art of studying the lines on the palm of the hand to describe a person’s character and foretell future events in a person’s life.
To study a person’s character and future, a palm reader looks carefully at the three main lines on the active hand (the one a person writes with). The reader usually looks first at a person’s Life Line. This begins under the index finger, and goes down towards the wrist. This line describes the way a person lives his or her life. A person with a deep Life Line is energetic and competitive. If a person has a faint line, he or she is more of a thinker than a doer.
The Heart Line runs across the hand, just below the fingers. This line describes one’s emotions or feelings. A person with a deep Heart Line is a peace maker. Family is important to this person. Those with a faint line do not like to be alone. They are often controlled by their emotions.
The Head Line is below the Heart Line. It describes how a person thinks. A person with a long Head Line thinks about things very carefully. Those with a short Head Line are very decisive. A person with a deep Head Line is clever and talkative. Those with a faint Head Line are often messy, but very creative.
Palm readers believe that these lines and marks on the hand can tell us something about our personalities. Try the test on yourself. Do you agree?
