Should there be a compulsory (强制的) age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and egocentric to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions (养老金) and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can deprive society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.74. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To explain the compulsory age limit.B. To discuss the retirement age.C. To examine people’s working life.D. To introduc e a particular stage.75. It can be inferred in the fourth passage that ______.A. the young people have more creative spiritsB. Pensions and freedom are not given to the old nowC..Modern advances in medicine make old people never dieD. old people believe that a younger person could do better76. What is the author’s opinion on the retirement ageA. The author thinks when to retire depends on the employees themselves.B. The author is against lengthening the retirement age.C. The author thinks that retirement age varies from country to country.D. The author is in favor of allowing old people to continue working.77. The passage is arranged as follows:•74-77 BAAASection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Priscilla Ouchida’s “energy-efficient” house turned ou t to be a horrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000, three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks, the house was equipped with small double-paned（双层玻璃的）windows and several other energy-saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however. Priscilla’s eyes burned. Her throat was constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness. Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde（甲醛）gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-to-wall carpeting. The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation’s drive to save energy. The problem itself isn’t new. “The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,”says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. “Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn’t worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the pollutants generated in most households seldom build up to dangerous levels.78.the smith used double-paned windows to equip their house to__________79.to some extent, what was the result of the nation’s drive to save energy?________________________________________________________________80. by saying “to accentuate the situation” in para.3, the author means___________81. home builder did’t worry about unsealed cracks because_________________78. prevent air leaks79. the indoor air pollution80.to make the situation worse81. because energy used to be cheapTranslation1.虽然他已经老得跳不动舞，却仍然很热衷于参加各种派对（keen）2.除非你听从李教授昨天给你的忠告，否则你将一事无成。

His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies.After his father's death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis （肺结核）， he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16， the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816， entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817， Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn't stop his love of rhythm.John Keats' next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818． The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based （叙事体的） and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the "knowledge" associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout （发作） with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821．（1）Why did John Keats' change attitude towards life？___A．Because his parents passed away.B．Because he only received poor education.C．Because Edmund Spenser's poetry influenced him too much.D． Because he received a lot of criticism from a magazine（2）While trying to achieve his dream of becoming a poet, John Keats was___ ．A． experiencedB． impatientC． knowledgeableD． determined（3）What do we know from the passage？___A． Keats received little education at school.B． Endymion was concerning a real love story.C． In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.D． Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.18.（填空题，8分）Volcanic ash from Iceland's volcano continues to cause disruptions to air travel across Northern Europe. As the nearly universal grounding of aircraft causes problems for 25 countries in Europe, the passengers are starting to run into secondary problems from the four days of being stranded． Additionally, the further effect of economic losses are beginning to pile up.Already the chaos surrounding the volcanic ash is being compared to the days after 9/11． As the ash plume continues to ground air transport, it is estimated that nearly 17，000 flights a day have been canceled at the cost of nearly ﹩2.7 million a day, according to a report filed by the Wall Street Journal. In the report, it was said that cost was for a single airline, and that the cost for other lines could be measured in hundreds of millions of dollars.While the cost on the airline industry is significant ， the cost on passengers is more significant. Airline cancellations have forced many travelers into hotels and more are looking to their travel insurance plans to cover the costs. The U．K．'s Independent reported that travel insurance plans have a rule that make claims from travelers invalid. In these policies ， travel insurances which are purchased as a way to cover additional costs when travel plans are unexpectedly disrupted because the specific event like a volcanic eruption is not mentioned. Then the policy does not cover the event.However, there is hope,though, as Air France and Dutch airline KLM both report positive test flights of aircraft at different altitudes to ensure the safety of flight. It is not known if these flights will be the beginning or just one-off chance flights. These flights were operated in a window of operations in the ash plume, but due to the erratic nature of the airflow, there is no guarantee that this will open up air operations over Europe. At this rate, the nations of Europe will be likely to see a significant impact on their pocketbooks, both in the corporations and the individual households.（1）The underlined word stranded probably means___ ．A． struckB． controlledC． stuckD． disturbed（2）From this passage we can see that___ ．A． the volcanic ash caused more trouble than 9/11 didB． airlines suffered great losses due to the eruptionC． travelers had to ask for help from the governmentD． nearly ﹩.2.7 million was lost in all（3）Why are claims about insurance from travelers unacceptable？___A． Because volcanic eruption isn't included in travel plans.B． Because volcanic eruption companies don't keep their word.C． Because airlines haven't bought insurance for travelers.D． Because airlines didn't expect the eruption.（4）This passage mainly tells us about___ ．A．the volcanic eruption in IcelandB． the great trouble for air travelsC．the unfavorable flight conditionD． the cost of European airlines19.（填空题，8分）By the mid-1920s, Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. had been one of the most celebrated men.In 1957， when Pablo Picasso was in his seventh decade, he joked that x-ray technology might one day reveal a lost work underneath one of his early paintings. Today, that prediction became reality although the technology involved goes far beyond x-rays.Using hyper-modern tools to peer into one of his Blue Period paintings, researchers have not only shown a hidden piece of art history in astonishing new detail, they have revealed a striking amount of insight into Picasso's creative process and style.The investigation focused on"La Miséreuse accroupie, "or" Crouching Woman, "painted in 1902 and currently owned by the Art Gallery. The painting, an oil on canvas （画布） piece drawing a crouching （蜷坐的） woman who wears a long coat, shows Picasso's typical Blue Period colors： grey, green, blue and white. It shows that the innovative modernist was inspired by the lines of an underlying landscape painted by an unknown artist.The analysis also exposes several changes to the woman described in the painting,many of which Picasso ultimately abandoned. Researchers released their findings on Saturday's press conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Austin, Texas. "We think now it's a landscape painted by someone enrolled at the fine arts academy in Barcelona, someone in Picasso's orbit but not in his close circle, "says Kenneth Brummel, assistant curator of modern art for the Art Gallery of Ontario.As to why Picasso would have "recycled" another artist's canvas（油画布）， reasons could range from economic necessity, as a young artist still establishing himself, to deep inspiration driven by the lines of the image already laid down there. Picasso often re-used canvases for this reason.""He didn't shave off the canvas or put a preparatory layer over it," Brummel says." Picasso saw this landscape, found inspiration, and decided he was going to paint it immediately."（1）According to the text ，the most likely process of Picasso's painting？___① Picasso reused another artist's canvas.② Inspired by a landscape painting, Picasso decided to paint one too.③ Picasso painted a woman on the landscape painting.④ Not happy with the landscape, Picasso covere d it totally.⑤ Picasso made changes to the womanA．② ③ ④B．④ ② ③C．① ③ ⑤D．② ① ④（2）How did Picasso deal with the landscape painting？___A． He reused it because he hated wasting anything.B． He hid his own paintings beneath the landscape.C． He took the advantage of it and created a new one.D． He kept it to himself with the permission of its owner.（3）What can we infer from the passage？___A． People often celebrated Picasso's success.B． Picasso was not well-off when he started his career.C． Picasso became successful overnight.D． Picasso was good at imitating other artists' works.（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？___A．Picasso's predication turned out to be jokeB． High technology uncovered art mysteriesC． Seeing is not always believingD． Lost Artwork Found Under Famous Picasso Painting20.（填空题，8分） Ever wonder how this season's celebrations affect the environment？Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic：The holidays are a wonderful, cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents. But I'm not like most people. I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeer are, and more importantly, how I can calculate those impacts.Lately I've been particularly curious as to whether Santa's old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.I should mention that, surprisingly, I was unable to find statistics specific to Santa's magical flying reindeer, so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals. In other words, don't complain to the government about the damage Santa is causing to the environment based on this article.Santa's yearly trip around the globe is 44，000km long, twice the average of a North American driver. If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip, then reindeer power only needs to push Santa's sled forward. To complete the trip in 12 hours, I estimate they must travel at a speed of about 3100km/h. To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!So the next question is： how much food is in 980 million calories？ Well, if they're eating corn, they'd need to eat 16，500 lbs each - or 1.6 acres of food. Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that we'll leave for another calculation.We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are "letting out" some of that corn in the form of methane （甲烷，沼气）． A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons. With methane causing 20 times the global warming damage of CO2， and the altitude increasing that damage by 1000% that another 20 times, we can put Santa's round-trip emissions at 15，488 tons. This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally-friendly car would release on the same trip!Bad Santa.（1）Which aspect does the writer NOT mention in her analyses about reindeer's influence on environment？___A． Distance covered.B． Money spent on food.C． Tons of waste let out.D． Calories consumed.（2）According to the passage, how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed 12 reindeer？___A． 12.8B． 16C． 19.2D． 128（3）Which of the following words best describes the tone of the passage？___A． Humorous and concerned.B． Cheerful and friendly.C． Academic and formal.D． Serious and boring.（4）Which of the following is the best title for this passage？___A． Santa, watch where you're going!B． Let's reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!C．Santa Claus is coming to town!D． Is Santa driving clean and green？21.（填空题，10分）Many people believe that heart disease only affects older men. （1）___ ．The reality is that people of all ages die of heart attacks each year.And while death rates have declined in the U．S． and many western European countries, they are on the rise in the developing world.Yet most heart disease is preventable.The challenge of heart disease is that it may be silent for years before causing any noticeable problems.No one would have guessed that Barbara Teng would have a heart attack. She was not overweight. "In 2014， the week after I turned 49 when I was on a business trip in Chicago I had a major heart attack," she said. （2）___ ． She now exercises daily and monitors her heart health.Dr. Patrice Nickens who is with the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute thinks that heart disease is 82 percent preventable. " （3）___ ，" she said."Men are also facing the same problem and the key to staying healthy is knowing your numbers"．"Your weight ，your blood cholesterol blood sugar and your blood pressure are important numbers that can help you take action and reduce your risk ，" she said. （4）___ ．"And the steps to take are simple： don't smoke, maintain a healthy weight,exercise,know your numbers and talk to your physician and control these risks," she said.African-Americans are at higher-than-average risk for heart disease and stroke； people don't even know they have it, which increases the risk. Medstar Washington Hospital Center is trying to reach this population. （5）___ ．For example, they help the people monitor their blood pressure. If people realize they are at risk for heart disease ，they'll make lifestyle changes：lose weight ，exercise, eat the right foods and keep in touch with a doctor.A． With the right training, they can play an important role in community healthB． A healthy lifestyle can prevent heart diseaseC．Lack of exercise causes heart attacksD．It is the leading cause of death for womenE． This is a set idea that is not trueF．And that changed her life22.（填空题，15分）The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.Migrating （1）___ mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. "Obviously these animals have developed their travelling （2）___ （pattern） over thousands of years. But it is extremely （3）___ （like）that these animals can change their habits fast enough," said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth.（4）___ （hard） hit by rising temperatures are turtles. So far, scientists （5）___ （find）that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. It also provides （6）___ （evident） that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer.With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. Other animals （7）___ （pick） out as particularly in danger include：the North Atlantic Right Whale, （8）___ main food （tiny shrimp） is disturbed by the change in oceanflows and the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. "We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level. "The clock （9）___ （run）．" said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, （10）___ the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.23.（填空题，1分）The park has only been open for one month, so it's hard to___ （评价） it.24.（填空题，1分）He had to put off the a___ because of his poor health.25.（填空题，1分）After his vacation he was in good condition both physically and m___ ．26.（填空题，1分）He felt___ （羞愧的）that he hadn't told the truth.27.（填空题，1分）I think what a___ to me about this painting is the colors he uses.28.（填空题，1分）Are you satisfied with his___ （翻译）of the poem？29.（填空题，1分）Well,my schedule is quite f___ ，so I can arrange to meet with you any day next week.30.（填空题，1分）He is in___ （拥有）of this rare vase.31.（填空题，1分）His carelessness may lead to disastrous c___ ．32.（填空题，1分）Nobody knows how this world came into___ （存在）．33.（问答题，25分）假定你是新华中学的学生会主席李华，作为交换生，你去英国Winton High School进行了一个多月的学习交流活动，期间住在该校就读的学生Tom家中，现已回到中国．请你给Tom写一封感谢信．内容包括：1．感谢Tom及其家人；2．在英国期间的收获；3．信中附上两张照片和一份礼物注意：1．词数100左右；2．可以适当增加细节，使行文连贯；3．开头语已为你写好Dear Tom,How is everything going with you？ _____Yours,Li Hua。

I first started writing in the summer of 1998. Back then I was a teacher. After years of dreaming, I decided it was finally time to write a book. For 10 years I wrote,16 four middle-grade novels and six pictures books almost only to editors. This was17 in the snail-mail age. Remember the _18_ you experienced as a child waiting for birthday presents to arrive in the mail? That was me for the better part of a decade.In Spring 2009, at the last minute, I decided to hand in a middle-grade historical novel-in-verse(韵文) to enter for a(n) 19 at a local writing conference. I knew in my heart that it was my 20 work, but I wasn’t sure how it would be 21 alongside pieces meant for the adult market. But then ----I won.

Over the span of 20 years, I’ve got 18 completed manuscripts and was 28 almost 350 times. It took me 14 years to see my first book 29 the shelf. You could look at these numbers and get pretty 30. I can look at these numbers and feel the same. I know plenty of people with a 31 apprenticeship(学徒期).I have friends who have been more 32 and they have published far more than I have. But here’s the 33 th ing I’ve learned in the last 20 years: My process is mine. My journey is mine. Each book finds its way on its own.The writing life is a long-term journey. There is no right way.
