22．（8分）“Hey, little boy, will you support me when I’m getting old?” Wang Wenshan, 35, asked his newborn baby as he hugged him at home.
The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improved standard of living. As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents. But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead.
The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries. The Information Office of the State Council, China’s cabinet, issued（发行）a white paper on measures China has been taking to help its elderly population. The paper said China’s population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century and the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population. By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.
An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society. It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems. It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system.
“I used to think that it’s not an issue for me to provide for the aged,” said Wang, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance. But last year Wang’s father suffered from a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.
After his father recovered, Wang opened a bank account for each parent and put away some money in the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties. In
addition, he has to save money every month to provide for his son’s future education. “I’m now breaking my back to support my family: saving pensions for the parents, my son’s education funds, and living costs.”
Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself. “We have to take precautions（预防）before it is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view,” he said.
1、Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?
A．Social problems. B．Unemployment.
C．More pressure on each family. D．The problem of the pension system. 2、From the passage, we can infer ________.
A．the aging problem is one of the concerns of the Chinese government
B．China will encourage young couples to have more than one child
C．many people have realized the aging problem
D．children will not support their parents in China
3、Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word “inevitably”? A．Surprisingly. B．Certainly.
C．Hopefully. D．Evidently.
4、From the passage, we can see that ________.
A．China is the only country to face an aging society
B．most of the developing countries face an aging society
C．countries with a large population face an aging society
D．more and more developed countries face an aging society

24．（8分）Senses That Work Together
When we think about how our senses work, we usually imagine them operating separately: you sniff a flower, and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain. However, it’ s more complex than that. Most evidence for cross-modal perception (知觉) comes from studies into sound and vision (视觉).
But research that shows other senses crossing over is coming out all the time, and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing.
When New York researchers, Daniel Wesson and Donald Wilson, tried to find out the truth about a “ mysterious” area of the brain called the olfactory tu bercle, they had to deal with this fact. Originally,they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell. But during testing,
Wesson noticed that every time he put his coffee cup down, the mouse cells jumped in activity. In fact,the olfactory tubercle is well-placed to receive both smell and sound information from the outside world.
Later they found that among separate cells, most responded to a smell but a significant number were also active when a sound was made. Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presented together, by increasing or decreasing their activity.
Of course, mice aren’ t people, so research team has been carrying out further experiments. They pulled together a group of people and gave them various drinks to smell. Participants were asked to sniff the drinks, and then match them to appropriate musical instruments and produce the notes at different levels. The results were interesting: piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strong smells sounded like the instruments that are made of metal.
Further research found that listening to different sounds can change your perceptions. Studying taste this time, the team ordered some special toffee (太妃糖) and
put together “ soundscapes” corresponding to bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while listening to each soundscape, and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter, depending on which soundtrack they were listening to.
Studies like this are helping scientists correctly describe our understanding of the senses, and how the brain combines them with its advantage. The consequences are worth considering. Could we see musicians work together with chefs to produce
sound-improved food and drink? Will you be ordering a coffee with a soundtrack to bring out your favorite smell? Come to think of it, that could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains don’ t get round to.
1、What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A lot of research focuses on the senses.
B．Sound and vision are relatively easy to study.
C．There can be a link between sound and smell.
D．Evidence about the way senses work is hard to obtain.
2、In Wesson and Wilson’ s research, ______.
A．the mice were affected more significantly by sound
B．the result confirmed what the researchers had suspected
C．the mice seemed to be afraid of certain sounds or smells
D．the connection between sound and smell was found by chance
3、What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．Participants took an active part in the experiments.
B．The purpose of the further experiments was totally different.
C．The result failed to support what was found in previous experiments. D．Experiments showed that links between sound and smell were consistent.
4、How does the author feel about the effect of the research?
A．She is excited about the creative chances.
B．She is surprised at the recent developments.
C．She is convinced that the findings will be used soon.
D．She is worried about how the knowledge can be applied.
25．
（10分）I've just got to talk about this problem I'm having with my postman. It all began a year ago，after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude，I asked him about the baby. The next week，not wanting him to think I had asked out of
mere politeness the week before. I asked all about the baby again. Now I can't break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words "How's the baby？"come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why can't I stop it？The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it，I want everyone to like me.
My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: " All he ever does is complain；he talks at me rather than to me，never listen to a word I say，and yet for some reason I'm always really nice to him. I'm worried in case I have a difficulty one day，and he won't lift a finger to help. "
What about at work Richard Lawton，a management trainer，warns: "Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff，treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning. "To explain the point，Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who，after making one of his managers fired，said with moist（湿润的）eyes that he was so，so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied" "If you were that sorry，I wouldn't be leaving. "The lesson being，therefore，that if you try too hard to be liked，people won't like you.
The experts say it all starts in childhood. "If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good，"says Zelda West-Meads，a marriage guidance consultant，"they develop low self-confidence and become compulsive（难以抑制的）givers. "But is there anything wrong in being a giver，the world not being exactly short of takers？Anne Cousins believes there is. "There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy，"she says.
"It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it. "
I am now trying hard to say to people" I feel uncomfortable about saying this，but. . "，and tell myself" Refusal of a request does not mean rejection of a person" and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.
1、Why does the author ask the postman about his baby?
A．He is interested in the baby.
B．He wants to create a good impression.
C．He wants to be always polite to him.
D．It's a way to start a chat with great politeness.
2、What could we find out about the author's sister and the caretaker?
A．She doesn't want to risk displeasing him.
B．She doesn't pay attention to him.
C．He often refuses to help her.
D．He is impatient of her overreaction.
3、Managers are more likely to be popular if they_____________.
A．help the staff with their problems
B．make sure the staff do not lose their jobs
C．encourage the staff to be polite to each other
D．do not make too much effort to be liked
4、what can we learn from this text?
A．If you tell the truth, it will not make people like you less.
B．If you take time to talk to people, they will like you better.
C．You should avoid unpleasant situations where possible.
D．You shouldn't refuse other people's requests for help.
5、What is the author's intention of writing this passage?
A．To show how to let others like you more.
B．To prove how to create a harmonious atmosphere.
C．To encourage people to have more self-confidence.
D．To suggest ways of dealing with difficult people.

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
29、I'm writing to tell about the discussion we've had in the recent class meeting about whether Senior One students should take a lot of tonics to keep fit.
Opinions are divided on the topic. Sixty percent of the students think it unnecessary to take any tonics. They hold the opinion that taking tonics will cause them to put on weight, which is bad for their health. What's more, the price of tonics is rather high.
However, forty percent of the students point out that Senior One students have a lot more homework to do every day. So many students get tired and tonics can help to refresh themselves. In addition, they can't afford time to have sports.
Personally, having right food is more important. The best way to stay healthy is to take exercise regularly.。
