My mother has been a true inspiration to me and changed the way I looked at life.Since my birth she has made it evident that I would become 16 and that I wouldbe one of the great ones.

I took the box down to a little shop that gave things out to the poor and the homeless and told them what had happened．Then I asked them to give the box to someone who could use it．The person there told me not to be upset, but I told her I was not crying for myself but for him because what I had done took away his dignity by treating him like a beggar．I was so ashamed．What a great lesson it was for me to learn. Sometimes accepting help is harder than giving it.36.

An Unfortunate ExperienceBA new report says African governments are ill prepared to handle the growing number of people over age 65. The population in Africa as in other parts of the world, is getting older. Currently, there are 36 million people on the continent 65 years and above，which is 3.6 percent of the population, up from 3.3 percent 10 years ago. That could rise to 4.5 percent by 2030 and 10 percent by 2050. The African development Bank is raising concerns over the shortage of health insurance and pensions.The African Development Bank says, "Aging is highly linked with long-term physical and mental disability and a number of long-term chronic (慢性的) conditions.""Africa is not well prepared to care for its aging population right now. And it needs to prepare for this fact." said Professor Mthuli Ncube, the African Development Bank's chief economist. African nations spend far less on healthcare than developed nations. Not so many countries have well developed medical aid plans for the elderly, whether they are privately provided plans or indeed government plans. If you look at the pension plans, you will find the pension industries are not well developed in some of the countries.Professor Mthuli Ncube said African governments failed to take action on health insuranceand pensions because they were busy with economic reforms.Another challenge for Africa is the worsening of informal systems of social protection. That is cash and support from both the extended family and community sources.The African Development Bank recommends governments help carry out health insurance and pension plans. Ncube said African governments didn't have to handlethe health insurance burden alone. "It is not only a must but also an opportunity for private companies to add their bit in this regard", he said. The report also recommends that African governments consider providing ways of free health services, medications and long-term health care facilities for the elderly.41. From the first paragraph we know the facts except that ________.A. the speed of people aging is becoming quickerB. African governments are not well prepared to deal with the aging populationC. Africa has the largest aging populationD. the shortage of health insurance and pensions adds to African governments'difficulty in dealing with the aging population42. Which is not highly linked with the aging according to the passage?A. Long-term physical disability.B. Long-term mental disability.C. Long-term chronic illnesses.D. Long-term shortage of care and love.43. What got in the way of developing health insurance and pensions in Africa?A. The economic reforms.B. Too many old people.C. The shortage of land.D. The development of the economy.44. How can the aging problem be solved in Africa according to Ncube?A. African governments should spend as much money on healthcare as developed countries.B. African people should save enough money to insure their health.C. African governments should combine with private companies to finish healthinsurance and pension pains.D. Private sources should take the main responsibility to help the elderly.45. The article is most likely to be seen________.A. in a story book.B. in a newspaper.C. on a TV program.D. in a textbook.CThere exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our 1ives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person l'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to avoid the sadness and bring a little light into our lives.46. According to the passage, humor is necessary and essential because________.A. it can help people get on well with othersB. it can pick up people's spiritsC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldD. it makes people more confident47. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with_______.A. facts and descriptionsB. theories and conclusionC. examples and conclusionD. stories and persuasion48. The underlined phrase "busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by________.A. keeping silentB. speaking loudC. laughing hardD. explaining carefully49. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to________.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life50. What is the author's attitude towards the present world?A. IndifferentB. PositiveC. SatisfiedD. CriticalDFluency is a rather murky(含糊) word. When I tell people that my second language is Sp anish, I often get asked the question, “Are you fluent?” How do I answer this question? Well, while I’m most comfortable with English, Spanish comes naturally. The thing is, my English and Spanish aren’t at the same level. Do I consider myself less fluent in Spanish? What if I told you I could live in a Spanish-speaking country, find a professional job, and use the language fully to meet my needs? This is what makes the question of fluency a difficult one. Instead, ask the question, “What can I do with my l anguage?” Let’s look at 3 examples of different levels of fluency:You decide to take your first Czech（捷克语的）. By the end of the course, you have enough language to greet your friends, tell time, describe the weather, name basic clothing items and colors, and address letters to all of your family members. Congratulations! You’re now fluent in survival Czech.You decide to continue your Czech studies for a full academic year. You learn basic grammar and can write or speak a simple sentence. You can order a meal, make a doctor’s appointment and struggle through a conversation with a native speaker. Now you’re fluent in elementary Czech.Next, you decide to take a year off and move to Prague(where they speak Czech). You find a job working in a local cafe, and because you’re fun to be around, youquickly make friends. You’re very comfortable with street Czech and can easily solve any day-to-day problems that come up. We could say you are fluent in working Czech. Do you still make errors? Yes. Do these errors get in the way of your daily life? No, of course not.At each of these stages, you’ve achieved a level of fluency. Of course, these are simplified examples to give you a better understanding of what fluency might mean at three levels, but there are not only three levels of fluency. These stages continue to increase in difficulty.51. How does the author introduce the topic of this passage?A. By asking a series of questions.B. By analyzing his/her problems.C. By telling a small story.D. By taking his/her own example.52. The survival level of fluency means a language learner can ______.A. understand what a native speaker is sayingB. write simple sentences without any mistakeC. use the language to carry on simple conversationD. communicate with native speakers well53. As a Spanish learner, which stage is the author probably in?A. Survival Spanish.B. Working Spanish.C. Elementary Spanish.D. A more difficult stage.54. In the author’s opinion, _______.A. there are three levels of fluencyB. he/she is a fluent Czech speakerC. his/her Spanish is as fluent as his /her EnglishD. mistakes are unavoidable while you’re studying a foreign language55. By taking Czech as an example, the author wants to ______.A. make readers understand his/her opinion betterB. tell readers he/she is also good at CzechC. tell readers how important Czech is in the worldD. tell readers it is easy to learn a foreign language well第II卷（非选择题）第三部分：写作（提高题）第一节：阅读表达（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）(学法题)阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。
