and D).

Passage One
Question 21 25 are based on the following passage.
To better understand the new historical resolution of the Communist Party of China
adopted in the sixth plenary session of its 19th Central Committee, one must first
look
back on the Party s century long historical experience. What were the endeavors the
CPC
has carried out over the past century? And what achievements has it made?
In summing up those endeavors and achievements, the resolution notes at the beginning
of its preamble: Since its founding in 1921, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has
remained true to its original aspiration and mission of seeking happiness for the
Chinese
people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Staying committed to communist
ideals
and socialist convictions, it has united and led Chinese people of all ethnic groups
in
working tirelessly to achieve national independence and liberation, and then to make
our
country prosperous and strong and pursue a better life. The past century has been
a
glorious journey. To put it simply, the CPC has succeeded in doing two great things
over
the past century: First, it founded New China after achieving national independence
and
liberation; second, it has significantly enhanced the happiness of the people not
least by
making the country richer and stronger than ever with persevering efforts based on
socialist principles.,
The CPC s century long endeavors can be divided into four stages. During the period
of
the new democratic revolution, i.e., the 28 years from the establishment of the Party
to
the founding of New China, the Party led the people through bloody battles and
unyielding struggles to achieve the country s great transformation from a millennia
old
feudal autocracy to a people s democracy. The Chinese people have since stood up,
shaking off the century of humiliation , corroborating the notion that without the
Communist Party, there would be no New China .,
Following that was the period of socialist revolution and construction, that is,
the 29 years
between the founding of the People s Republic of China and the convention of the
third
plenary session of the 11th Central Committee, during which the socialist system
was
established and the country managed to build an independent, relatively complete
industrial system and national economic system on the ruins of wars, with a new world
in
sight.
Then came the period of reform and opening up with an emphasis on socialist
modernization, or the 33 years between the convention of the third plenary session
of the
11th Central Committee and the 18th National Congress of the CPC, during which
elements of a market economy were introduced throughout the reform and opening up
process. This raised the living standard of Chinese people from bare subsistence
to
moderate prosperity in general and marked the tremendous advancement of the Chinese
nation from standing up to growing prosperous.
And the most recent period, the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics,
ushered
in by the convention of the 18th National Congress of the CPC, has witnessed historic
achievements and sea changes in the country, as well as the country s transition
from
standing up, growing prosperous to becoming strong. During this period, the Party
took
into account both domestic and international imperatives, and solved many tough
problems that were long on the agenda but never resolved and accomplished many things
that were wanted but never got done.
The three periods following the founding of the PRC were dedicated to socialist
construction. While each period had unique features, the Party has unwaveringly
stayed
true, all along, to its original aspiration of serving the people well.,
The CPC s endeavors have transformed the modern history of China, putting an end
to an
era characterized by disunity, division, weakness and poverty, as well as foreign
invasion
and bullying. This has fundamentally changed the fate of the Chinese people and the
Chinese nation. Indeed, the country s successful transition from standing up,
growing
prosperous to becoming strong is a telling comment on the CPC s endeavors and
achievements over the past century. As the resolution puts it, the endeavors of the
Party
and the people over the past century represent the most magnificent chapter in the
millennia long history of the Chinese nation.
The resolution illustrates, from five perspectives, the historical significance of
the CPC s
endeavors over the past century: fundamentally transforming the future of the
Chinese
people; trailblazing the right path for achieving the rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation;
demonstrating the strong vitality of Marxism; producing a positive impact on the
course of
world history; and making the CPC a pioneer of the times. In the context of human
development, the modernization pursued by the CPC is of significant global influence.
As
every nation seeks its unique path of modernization, the CPC has managed to
trailblaze a
path that dovetails with China s actual conditions but is unique from that of the
West. It
only took China a few decades to complete the process of industrialization that took
developed countries several centuries, which has brought about the two miracles of
rapid
economic growth and enduring social stability in China. This has made an indelible
contribution to the progress of human civilization.,

path
of modernization, the CPC has managed to trailblaze a path that dovetails with China
s
actual conditions but is unique from that of the West ?

B. The CPC has set a fix model for other developing countries to follow.
C. The CPC always puts actual condition and practice in the first place.
D. The CPC doesn t learn from the West.
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
The cacao tree, once native to the equatorial American forest, has some exotic traits
for a
plant slender and shrubby. Cacao doesn t flower, as most plants do, at the tips of
its outer
and uppermost branches. Instead, its sweet white flowers hang from the trunk and
along a
few fat branches which form where leaves drop off. These tiny flowers transform into
pulp filled pods almost the size of rugby balls. The low hanging pods contain the
bitter
tasting, magical seeds.
Somehow, more than 2,000 years ago, ancient humans in Mesoamerica discovered the
secret of these beans. If you scoop them from the pod with their pulp, let them ferment
and dry in the sun, then roast them over a gentle fire, something extraordinary
happens:
they become chocolate. And if you then grind and press the beans, which are half
cocoa
butter or more, you will obtain a rich, crumbly, brown paste chocolate at its most
pure and
simple.
The Maya and Aztecs revered this chocolate, which they frothed up with water and
spices
to make bracing concoctions. It was edible treasure, offered up to their gods, used
as
money and hoarded like gold. Long after Spanish explorers introduced the beverage
to
Europe in the sixteenth century, chocolate retained an aura of aristocratic luxury.
In 1753,
the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus gave the cacao tree genus the name Theobroma,
which means food of the gods .
In the last 200 years the bean has been thoroughly democratized, transformed from
an
elite drink into ubiquitous candy bars, cocoa powders and confections. Today
chocolate is
becoming more popular worldwide, with new markets opening up in Eastern Europe and
Asia. This is both good news and bad because, although farmers are producing record
numbers of cacao bean, this is not enough, some researchers worry, to keep pace with
global demand. Cacao is also facing some alarming problems.
Philippe Petithuguenin, head of the cacao program at the Centre for International
Cooperation in Development Oriented Agricultural Research (CIRAD) in France
recently
addressed a seminar in the Dominican Republic. He displayed a map of the world
revealing
a narrow band within 18 north and south of the equator, where cacao grows. In the
four
centuries since the Spanish first happened upon cacao, it has been planted all around
this
hot humid tropical belt from South America and the Caribbean to West Africa, East
Asia,
and New Guinea and Vanuatu in the Pacific.
Today most chocolate beans come from West Africa and Central Africa. In many parts
growers practise so called pioneer farming. They strip patches of forest of all but
the
tallest canopy trees and then they put in cacao, using temporary plantings of banana
to
shade the cacao while it s young. With luck, groves like this may produce annual
yields of
50 to 60 pods per tree for 25 to 30 years. Then the growers move on and clear a new
forest patch unless farmers of other crops get there first. You cannot keep cutting
tropical forest, because the forest itself is endangered, said Petithuguenin
“ World
demand for chocolate increases by 3z a year on average .With a lack of land for new
plantings in tropical forests, how do you meet that?”
26. The flowers of the cacao plant appear .
A. at the end of its top branches
B. along all of its branches
C. close to its leaves
D. mainly on its trunk
27. According to the passage what is true about chocolate?
A. Chocolate is a man made food made from ferment and dried cocoa beans.
B. Chocolate is natural fruit of cocoa.
C. Chocolate is cocoa butter.
D. Human only has 200 years history of making chocolate.
28. In paragraph 3, what does the word Theobroma mean?
A. food of gods
B. a Swedish god
C. a food of Switzerland
D. a Swedish botanist
29. Which of the following place is suitable for the planting of cocoa?
A. the Pacific Ocean
B. 18 north and south of the equator

Passage Three

stress. No one is immune to this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring
it,
