A . Smartphone payments are available in every part of China now. B . Life in Beijing has become the most advanced in the world C . You can buy anything you want using mobile payments in Beijing. D . Mobile payments are popular in large cities in China like Beijing

It was a seventeen-jewel Elgin in a locket-style case, and my mother bought it before she was married in September 1916. It was a typical watch of the era, functional yet decorative and was given to me around the time I was thirteen or fourteen. At that time, it was just another one of the things I owned. When I left for the service in April 1941, I took the watch with me.

My unit was sent to the Philippine Islands. While crossing the Pacific, I almost lost the watch after carelessly leaving it tied to a waterline when taking a shower. Thankfully, an honest GI found it and returned it. The watch still did not seem that special to me. It was just one of my practical possessions.

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, we retreated to the Bataan Peninsula. Now I started to become a little concerned about my watch. When we were told to surrender to the Japanese, I knew that my watch could become a Japanese souvenir. I didn't want to lose it. I did what I could to outsmart my enemy. Finally, my unit surrendered, and we were sent to a work detail in northern Luzon. One day, I was standing in the dump box of a truck, guarded by one Japanese soldier. His eyes were staring at my pocket and then reached out with a gloved hand. I froze and held my breath, fearing that I was about to lose my now prized possession. Surprisingly, the guard was not curious enough to ask about what I had in my pocket, and again the watch was safe for a while.

The work detail lasted about seventy days. After that, we marched on to Cabanatuan Prison Camp, where I remained for two and a half years. There I removed the band from the watch and wrapped the face in medical gauze and tape. It made a small, easy-to-hide package. At last, when my camp was liberated, the watch and I made the trip home. When I walked through the door, I learned that my mother had died. Now her watch, which had become a reminder of my own survival, was also a reminder of her life.

（1） How did the writer feel about the watch at first?

A . Common. B . Special. C . Prized. D . Useless.
（2） Which of the following statements is true?

A . My mother gave the watch to me when I got married in September 1916. B . I lost the watch due to my carelessness on the way to the Philippine Island. C . My mother died after I returned from the Cabanatuan Prison Camp. D . It took more than two and a half years before I finally returned home.
（3） What is the best title of this text?

A . A Reminder of My Survival. B . Mother's Watch. C . The Bombing of the Pearl Harbor. D . My Life during the War.

A. Besides B. because of C. With D. As for

A famous doctor is going to ____________ for his illness.

一位著名的医生要治疗他的病。

As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) .

Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.

Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say.

We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.

The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an "acceptable" report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.

12. We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.

A. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies

B. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms

C. energy policy catches much attention of the public

D. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents

13. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____.

A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based power

B. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation

C. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power

D. guarantees an increase in energy output

14. It can be inferred from the passage that____.

A. an official report will settle the energy problem

B. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms

C. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiation

D. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts

15. Which of the following reflects the author's opinion?

A. Increase political impact on energy policy.

B. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.

C. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.

D. Release a statement of supporters on wind farm.
