On March 23, 2010, Google took a major step in withdrawing its search-engine services from Beijing to Hong Kong. Google acknowledged that it failed to make progress in negotiations with the Chinese government for permission to let Google stop censoring(审查) its search results.
Since posting the announcement on its website, Google’s stock price has fallen from $ 595 to about $ 567, while Baidu, the leading search engine in China, has seen its stock price rise by 50%. A potential foreign beneficiary (受益者) is Bing, Microsoft’s new search engine. And while Bing may not exactly have got the keys to a very rich kingdom, its managing group understand their good fortune and are not shying about sticking the knife into Google. Craig Mundie, a chief officer of Bing, told China Daily that “We feel good enough now,” adding, “but it’s a 20-year journey, and not just three years. And Microsoft is here to stay.”
Several other Chinese Internet companies are no doubt moving swiftly to take advantage of this situation. Both Sohu.com — a Yahoo-like website in China — and a hugely successful instant-messaging company called Tencent (腾讯) are already trying to hire Google China staff. Analysts believe that of the two, Tencent is in the better position. Nearly 70% of China’s 400 million Internet users use instant-messaging, and of those, 80% use Tencent’s system, known as QQ. That’s the major reason why Tencent’s potential market is bigger than Baidu’s, and an insider at the company acknowledges that the search business is full of opportunities.
All the competitors of Google do what the Chinese government requires: censor their search result. If Microsoft and the others intend to be in China “to stay”, as Craig Mundie put it, there is no chance that the censoring principle will change for them.
As to the Google’s exit, one of its investors made the comment recently, “There’re still a lot of us who believe that they’ve made the wise choice. But Google is apparently out and I guess we just get to accept it.” However, some Chinese netizens regretted the loss of its professional services on Google, such as maps, videos, music and translations. 13.

It is not a surprise that water pollution is also a high danger. We have no choice but to pay more attention to how we are using water, and how we may be wasting it. We must bridge the gap between our understanding of how important water is to our survival and what we can do to ensure that we have an adequate supply of clean water for years to come. Another kind of pollution that often gets ignored is noise pollution. Most people are used to the noise that surrounds them every day. However, noise pollution can damage one’s hearing and even one’s mental health. Noise pollution is caused by loud music, machine noise and automobile and plane noise.
Three types of pollution
Air pollution
It greatly __1 (affects)_the natural environment and people’s health, and
damages buildings ,monuments and status.
Water pollution
People should pay more attention to _2 (how)_ they are using and wasting water, and bridge the gap between their understanding of the __3___of water and what they can do. Noise pollution
People’s hearing can be damaged and they even become _4____unhealthy.
分析：
3.importance。根据表中信息可知，本题是有关水污染的细节问题。根据文中的“We must bridge the gap between our understanding of how important water is to our survival and what we can do to ensure that we have an
adequate supply of clean water for years to come.”可知本题需要使用important的名词形式importance。 4.mentally。根据文中的“However, noise pollution can damage one’s hearing and even one’s mental health.”可知，本题考查了词类的修饰关系，修饰形容词需要使用副词，mental的副词形式mentally。 2．利用语态转换
The health dangers of smoking have been well reported. For years, doctors have warned that smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks, lung disease, and a number of other medical problems.
Bad effects of smoking
Many kinds of disease and a number of other medical problems are ___1___with smoking
分析：1.connected/associated/linked/concerned。本题是根据上文中的第三句设置的，原文中是主动语态“Studies also have linked smoking to……”,试题中为了避免重复文章中的原句，把它改成了含有被动语态的系表结构“be connected/associated/linked/concerned with…”。这种命题方式在任务型阅读试题中比较常见。

请认真阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在表格中填入一个最恰当的单词。
Ambition is a necessary quality in life. It is the force which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we haven’t got some degree of ambition, these talents will not be used for our own and other’s benefit. We must continually want to be better than we are. Without ambition we are just jellyfish that flop through life. We only react to events; we don’t try to control them.
Ambition, however, can have several defects.
First of all it can be unrealistic. We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that
are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations objectively. They may tell us that we haven’t the ability to deal with people and would make good businessmen. We refuse to take their evaluation. We keep on trying. Many years and many disappointments later we are forced to accept their judgment. But what a waste of time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!
Secondly, our ambition can be too concentrated. We devote our attention to one narrow aim, such as getting distinctions in our science subjects. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what damage we have caused ourselves in the process! We are isolated beings who only care about a particular examination. And we probably won’t make good scientists. We lack the breadth(宽度，广度) of view necessary for success in higher studies.
Thirdly, our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money, or power, or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to make up by seeking the respect of others through possessions of these artificial signs of worth.
Fourthly, our ambition may be self-centered. Instead of directing some of our ambition towards community improvement we may exploit members of the community in the interests of self-advancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further mark of our own success.
Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals---necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live. But, like all blind forces, it must be directed if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart. Otherwise ambition may demand too high a price in terms of human qualities.
Title Merit Imperfection How Do We Count 71.____________ With an ambition in our heart, we’re always trying our best to use our talent to become 72.___________ than we are, thus 73._____________ ourselves and others. 74.____________ ambition may fail us in seeing the limits of our own abilities. Too 75.____________ ambition may cause us to devote our attention to one narrow aim, lacking the breadth of view necessary for 76,____________ success. Our ambition may make us among those 77._____________ people who gain their interests by sacrificing others’. Our ambition can be 78.____________ to lifeless aims, which lead us to the way to build up our 79.____________ through possessions of artificial signs of worth. Conclusion
Ambition is a good servant but a bad 80.____________. Therefore, we must try to direct it in a proper way. （六）书面表达。在写作中注意几点：
