But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly father s, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.”Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus o n parenting.”1. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing? A) Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. B) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children. C) Older parents are often better prepared financially.D) Older parents can take better care of their children.2. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream” (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?A) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.B) They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.C) They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.D) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.3. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that _________.A) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageB) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energyC) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children.4. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?A) Being laughed at by other people.B) Slowing down of their pace of life.C) Being mistaken for grandparents.D) Approaching of death.5. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.B) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.C) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.D) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.Passage twoLosing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women s Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don t remember even seeing it, that s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that s "a red flag that something more serious may be involved." Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood第 4 页共11 页pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on Array medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense againstmemory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain s cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says. "Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.6. Why does the author say that one need’ t be concerned about memory slips?A) Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.B) They occur only among certain groups of people.C) Not all of them are related to one’s age.D) They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.7. What happens as we become aged according to the passage?A) Our interaction skills deteriorate.B) Some parts of our brain stop functioning.C) Communication within our brain weakens.D) Our whole brain starts shrinking.8. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A) Totally forgetting how to do one s daily routines.B) Inability to recall details of one s life experiences.C) Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D) Occasionally confusing the addresses of one s friends.9. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A) Check the brain s cognitive reserve.B) Stop medications affecting memory.C) Turn to a professional for assistance.D) Exercise to improve their well-being.10. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice for combating memory loss?A) Having regular physical and mental checkups.B) Taking medicine that helps boost one s brain.C) Engaging in known memory repair activities.D) Staying active both physically and mentally.Passage threeIn spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s nosurprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.第 5 页共11 页Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were fav ored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re w alking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.11.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A) It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B) It is their major source of protein in winter.C) It can easily be made into a work of art.D) It can bring wealth and honor to them.12.What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?A) They are shaped like jewel cases.B) They are cherished by the rich.C) They are heavily painted in red.D) They are favored as a form of art.13.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A) Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B) Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C) Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D) Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.第 6 页共11 页第 7 页 共 11 页14.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. B) She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea. C) She always derives great pleasure from designing something new. D) She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end. 15.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting? A) It originated in the eastern part of Europe. B) It has a history of over two thousand years. C) It is the most time-honored form of fancy art. D) It is especially favored as a church decoration.A bookless life is an incomplete life. Books influence the depth and breadth of life. They meet the natural 1)_____for freedom, for expression, for creativity and beauty of life. Learners, therefore, must have books, and the right type of book, for the satisfaction of their need. Readers turn 2)____ to books because their curiosity concerning all manners of things, their eagerness to share in the experiences of others and their need to 3) _____ from their own limited environment lead them to find in books food for the mind and the spirit. Through their reading they find a deeper significance to life as books acquaint them with life in the world as it was and it is now. They are presented with a 4)_____ of human experiences and come to5) _____ other ways of thought and living. And while 6)____ their own relationships and responses to life , the readers often find that the 7) ____ in their stories are going through similar adjustments, which help to clarify and give significance to their own.Books provide 8)______ material for readers’ imagination to grow. Imagination is a valuable quality and a motivating power, and stimulates achievement. While enriching their imagination, books 9)______their outlook, develop a fact-finding attitude and train them to use leisure 10)_____. The social and educational significance of the readers’ books cannot be overestimated in an academic library.Part IV . Fill in the blanks by selecting suitable letters for words fromthe word bank. You may not use any of the words more than once.（1x10）第 8 页 共 11 页1. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures andrepeated misfortunes in his lifetime. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.2. Thanks to modern aviation, we can now move through space at an inhuman speed. For the first time in human history, we can outrun the sun and move from one hemisphere to another in a single day. Of course, it's not enough to simply get on a plane. Most people, after all, escape to Paris so they don't have to think about those troubles they left behind. But here's the irony: Our mind is most likely to solve our most stubborn problems while we are sitting in luxury in a Left Bank café.Part V .

Some people say the Chinese were the first to start it, others believe it was the ancient Germans, and still others claim it was the Romans.We know that the Chinese have always had a great festival at the time of their New Year, which comes later than ours. The Chinese New Year festival lasts several days. The ancient Germans established a New Year festival because of the changing seasons. The German winter began at the middle of November. This was the time when they gathered the harvest, because everybody came together at this time for the happy occasion, and because it meant they would have a period of rest from work afterwards. They would make merry and have a great holiday. Even though it was November, they considered it the beginning of the New Year! When the Romans conquered (⼊侵) Europe, they changed this time of celebration to the first of January.From then on the coming of the New Year was a symbol of a new life with new hope for the future. This custom and this meaning have lasted to this day. We celebrate the New Year hoping it will bring us a good life.46. What do you think the author's nationality is?C. Roman.D. None of the above.47.

(5 points)Passage 1At university you meet many different types of students. There are lazy students, smart students, and students who are so intelligent that they hardly have to work at all.An interesting game to play is to put people into types. For example, the ambitious student is very easy to identify. Not only do they work extremely hard but they also make sure that they know the right people and attend the right events. You'll see them chatting to lecturers after a lecture is finished. They usually look serious and carry big bags of books.The party girl is easily recognized by her fashionable clothes and the fact that at every party you go to she's surrounded by friends.Then there's the "techy", a student who knows everything about computers and technology. They can be found at most times of the day playing with a computer.51.There is a student who work extremely hard and often chat to lecturers after a lecture is finished.What kind of student is he/she?_________________________________________________.The "organizer" is another type that's very recognizable. They love to organize things, whether it's parties or club meetings. And of course, there's always the "last minute" student. They may be very good students, but they always hand in assignments at the last moment, and they arrive at a lecture one minute before it's about to begin. Although I'd rather not be a "last minute" type, that's what I am, I'm afraid!52. Who can be easily recognized by fashionable clothes?_______________________________________________.53.

(5 points)Passage 1I don't know how many good teachers there are in the world, but I feel it is deeply important for a student who is in trouble to meet a good teacher.I had a maths teacher who hates to see struggling maths students. He always ridicules the slow students when he gets a chance. For example, the teacher looks down upon a student due to her failure in maths. It's not that this student is stupid but rather she has no interest in maths. The maths teacher always gives the girl the cold shoulder and says this girl is the stupidest student he has ever seen. One time this student got the lowest score on a maths exam, the teacher made fun of her and then students guessed who had the worst score. When that student had some questions to ask the teacher, he was第9 页共14 页impatient with her. Finally, the girl said to me that paradise is very far from her. Everyday she feels Eden, but there is no way to reach it. She feels that she is a tiny lantern which is placed into the water and will slowly drift out to sea until it can't be seen. What a lonely vision that is!All students have different abilities because each of them is unique. No one can foretell his future. The teacher should learn how to treat the slower students properly, how to encourage them and not to hurt their feelings. Please leave a bit of love for these special students."It is not how much we do but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving," said Mother Terasa. After all, love can creates power.66. In this article, the writer thinks that when a student is in trouble, it is very important that the student shoulddo his best to turn to some teachers.67. The underlined word "ridicule" in the second paragraph means laugh at.68. The girl fails in every maths exam because she is tired of the maths teacher.69. What the girl tells the writer shows the girl is mentally suffering.70. The writer attacks the maths teacher strongly, but he asks all people to collect money to support thespecial students.XI.

You’re not participating; you’re careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don’t want to be here, do you?W: I’m sorry Dr. Smith. It’s just …I’ve got lots of things to do. I’m studying Web design and I’m a first-class player on our golf team. It’s hard to see why I need to take a Spanish languageclass!M: Well, I’m sorry you feel that way, but learning another language can improve your performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when youvisit your father in Mexico.W: Gosh! What do you mean, professor? Just because my father does business in Mexico I’m supposed to learn Spanish –on top of everything else I have to learn? It’s just too much! Andif I don’t spend enough time on the golf course, I won’t remain a first-class player on the golf team. I still don’t see why I should learn a language that’s so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design!M: Listen Miranda, I’ve known your father since we were students at university 20 years ago –and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf orWeb design. But I am giving you good advice. Please listen.W: Yes, of course, you’re like my favorite uncle.M: Your brain isn’t like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full. Instead, it’s likea muscle.

Here in Chicago, things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem appropriate to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no rituals like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) convention in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) leisurely chat. I think that it is important for business partners to getfamiliar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too abrupt, there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being assessed when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the perception is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another means of making money.All of this used to create a real dilemma for me. At first, it caused me to have as little interaction with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.完形填空I am frequently asked the question ,”Can you use chopsticks”I have lived in Korea ,Japan and China .In each country , I have ,more often than not and without having requested one ,been given a fork when one was available .I have politely refused and said that I would be fine with chopsticks .Sometime, I have to make further explanation.Chopsticks are the least of my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant .In fact ,learning how to use chopsticks takes me nothing but a few weeks .This is not to say I was skillful, though .Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me ,whereas learningthe rituals and how to conduct myself at the table is quite difficult .Just how many times do I have to say ”no ,thank you”when I really mean”no ,thank you ,I truly am full ”?How do I get away with refusing more food without offending someone ?If I insist and I still get more ,is it appropriate just not to eat it ?This would be impolite where I come from.I have enjoyed many great meals and my interactions with the people have been great .I am increasingly aware that I will never be able to give back as much as I have received. I don’t know how I can ever thank all of the people who introduced me to eating in Asia.Unit2汉译英1. 尽管她是家里的独生女，她父母也从不溺爱她。

You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.There are more than forty universities in Britain—nearly twice as many as in 1960.During the 1960s eight completely new ones were founded and ten other new ones were created technologies into universities. In the same period the of students more than doubled, from 70,000 to than 200,000. By 1973 about 10% of men aged from eighteen twenty-one were in universities and about 5% of women. All the universities are private institutions. Each has its governing councils, some local businessmen and local politicians as a few academics(大学教师).The state began to give grants to them fifty years , and by 1970 each university derived nearly all its from state grants. Students have to fees and living costs, but every student may receive from the local authority of the place he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full costs,including lodging and unless his parents are .Most take jobs in the summer about six weeks, but they do not normally do outside during the academic year. The Department of Education takes for the payment which cover the whole expenditure of the , but it does not exercise direct control.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage One“I like him the minutes I saw him.” “Before she even said a word, I knew there was something funny about her.” Such statements are examples of snap judgments, opinions which are formed suddenly, seemingly without any sound reason at all. Most people say snap judgments are unsound or even dangerous .They also admit they often make snap judgments and find them to be fairly sound. Snap judgments like “love at first sight” or “instant hate”, if taken seriously, have usually been considered signs of immaturity or lack of common sense. When someone has a feeling about someone else, people more often laugh than pay attention.Most people think you find out about a person by listening to what he says over a period of time. Others say “actions speak louder than words”, usually in relation to keeping promises.Because people assume “you are what you say you are”, they talk a lot to become acquainted with each other. Once two people have become acquainted, they think it was their conversation that gave them their information about each other. As behavioral sciences develop, however, researchers find the importance of speech has been overestimated. Although speech is the most obvious form of communication, we do use other forms of which we may be only partially aware or, in some cases, completely unaware. It is possible we are unconsciously sending messages with every action, messages that are unconsciously picked up by others and used in forming opinions. These unconscious actions and reactions to them may in part account for our feelings and snap judgments.41. According to the first paragraph, a snap judgment is______.A. a sound opinion although it is formed suddenlyB. an opinion formed suddenly, seemingly without reason.C. an sound and dangerous opinion formed quickly.D. an opinion formed with careful thought.42. People become acquainted with each other through talking because they believe_____.A. they are able to judge a person by what he or she saysB. this is the only way to know othersC. they are able to find some shared interest in their talkingD. by doing so they can escape being immature43. Research shows that, while speech is important in forming opinions,__________.A. body language is of little importanceB. we are fully aware of other forms of communicationC. it is impossible to know how much it helps us form judgmentsD. its importance is thought to be greater than it really is44. According to researchers, snap judgments are partly the resultof__________A. messages we receive unconsciouslyB. our conversation with other peopleC. being unable to understand oral communicationD. not sending the correct messages consciously or unconsciously45. According to the passage,_______________.A. people use snap judgments to laugh at other peopleB. people are not talking when they are using body languageC. people use body language to communicateD. people cannot explain such feelings such as “love at first sight” or “instant hate”Passage TwoAcquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was diagnosed in the US in the late 1970s. Since then, AIDS has killed more than 204,000 Americans---half of that number in the past few years alone. Another 185,000 of the one million infected with the HIV virus are expected to die within the next year.Nearly half of those diagnosed with the virus are blacks and Latinos. Women and youth in rural southern communities now constitute the fastest growing segment of people with AIDS.Despite such alarming numbers, the federal and state governments have been slow in implementing programs to stop the spread of AIDS. In place of government inactivity, a number of local organizations have emerged. One organization, the South Carolina AIDS Education Network, formed in 1985 to combat the growing number of AIDS cases. Like many local organizations, this organization suffers from a lack of money, forcing it to use its resources creatively. To reach more people in the community, some AIDS educational programs operate out of a beauty shop.46. Which of the following statements is true?A. AIDS was diagnosed in the US in the middle 1970s.B. All of those diagnosed with HIV virus are blacks and Latinos.C. The governments are very active in implementing programs to stop the spread of AIDS.D. The South Carolina AIDS Education Network suffers from a lack of money.47. What’s the meaning of the underlined word implementing ?A. make upB. carry outC. fight take action48. These local organizations operate educational programs out of a beauty shop in order to ____?A. save moneyB. save timeC. contact more peopleD. impress people49. According to the passage, which group of people makes up the fastest growing group of people with AIDS?A. Women and youth in urban southern communities.B. Women and youth in rural southern communities.C. Women in rural northern communities.D. Women and youth in rural northern communities.50. From the passage we can infer that___?A. Because the government is active in stopping the spread of AIDS, some local organizations have emerged.B. Half of 204,000 Americans will die during the next year.C. The local organization isn’t lacking in money, so it doesn’t have to use its resources creatively.D. Although the number of people inflected with AIDS is surprising, the federal and state government haven’t taken actions in time to carry out programs to stop the spread of AIDS.Passage ThreeWhen we think about people who are leaders, we often get a mental picture of someone who is older, smarter, and wiser than ourselves. Studies of leadership, though, have usually found that there is almost no relationship between skill as a leader and traditional measures of intelligence.Some recent research by psychologist Fred Fiedler and his colleagues suggest that both intelligence and experience may be important --- but just how important depends upon how stressful the work situation is and what kind of task is to be accomplished. The researchers obtained measures intelligence, experience, performance, and stress.Overall , these variables (因素) were not related to one another . Men with high and low intelligence were equally likely to give good performance ,as were men with more and less experience , or more and less stress with their bosses .However, when you look separately at those men who have high stress with their bosses, the picture changes.In high stress situations, there was no association between intelligence and performance, but there was between experience and performance. In other words, in difficult situations, it was helpful to“know the ropes”. In low stress situations, the findings were just the reverse: Experience was not related to good performance, but intelligence was. That is, when things are going well, intelligence is very useful in leadership.A study of fire fighters’ performance under high and low s tress conditions also found experienced officers performed best under situations of stress.None of this is really very surprising. If you have ever had a supervisory (管理的) job , you probably found that at least as much energy went into handling people as went into handling the job itself. Tests of intelligence at least the ones we have now do not predict success in handling people.51. The study of leadership finds________.A. The leaders are older, smarter and wiser than others.B. The skill as a leader has a great relationship with intelligence.C. The skill as a leader has no relationship with intelligence.D. The skill as a leader has a great relationship with experience.52. According to the researcher Fred Fiedler, the importance of intelligence and experience_______.A. depends on how stressful the work situation is.B. depends on what kind of task is to be accomplishedC. depends on situation and task.D. depends on leadership.53. The relationship among intelligence, experience, performance and stress is ___.A. relatedB. not relatedC. importantD. less importance54. The phrase “know the ropes” (para graph 4) means _____.A. To know the rules.B. Tie the ropes together.C. Cut the ropes.D. Not to know the rules.55. Intelligence is more useful than on other occasions in leadership_______. A. when experienced officers performed best under situations of stress. B. when you have ever had a supervisory job C. when you have much energy. D. when things are going well.IV. Translation.

For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are of that parent. The things parents do and say—and then they do and say to them—therefore stronglyinfluence a child’s 24 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 25 they want their child to become.A parent’s actions 26 affect the self image that a child forms 27 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly qualities in their parents will have difficulty positive qualities in themselves. Children may 31 their self image, however, as they become increasingly 32 by peers groups standards before they reach 13 .

Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage OneJust as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it may also power up the brain. A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.“It’s clear that the brain benefits from exercise,” says scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups. One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.“The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,” Greenough said. “In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals.”Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can, he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well, the benefits multiply. Young brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise, suggested another of Greenough’s experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young. And while animals aren’t people, he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didn’t exercise showed no improvement.41.__________ can benefit from physical exercise.A. Only the heart and lungsB. Only bones and musclesC. Only the brainD. All of the above42. What makes the brain better able to process information?A. Vigorous physical exercise.B. Skill-based exercise.C. Both of them.D. Neither of them.43. While _________ of rats showed a greater number of brain connections, ________ had a greater density of blood vessels in the brain.A. the first group/the third groupB. the second group/the third groupC. the first group/the second groupD. the second group/the first group44. One possible reason for scientists to make experiments with rats or other animals is that _____.A. rats benefits from the experimentsB. the experiments can boost the brains of the ratsC. an effect found in rats may also apply to humansD. rats and humans are very much alike45. Which word in Paragraph 6 tells us that older adults were divided into two groups in the humans studies?A. Corresponding.B. Inactive.C. Older.D. Faster./Passage TwoMary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, h oping to find work illustrating children’s books----her life’ goal. So shewas disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.“I was crushed,” she admits. Gre eting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results transformed her life forever.Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company and the annual sales are in the $100 million range----all as a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York.Once you know Engelbr eit’s distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 200 paced away----bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Engelbreit is cheerful, down-to-earth, humorous, and always cute. “ I think the world could use more cuteness,” she explains. Indeed, it’s her trademark.With her work taking off in so many directions, it was perhaps inevitable that Engelbreit would eventually realize her dream of illustrating a children’s book. In 1993 she created drawings for a children’ book and saw it become a best-seller. At the same time she made a surprising discovery: “It was fun, but oddly enough, I like doing greeting cards best.”46. When she flew to New York, Mary Engelbreit expected ______.A. she would be better suited to drawing greeting cardsB. she would be turned down by the book publishersC. she would give a try at drawing greeting cardD. she would illustrate children’s book47. As a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York, Engelbreit______.A. gave up on drawing illustrationsB. dre w illustrations for a children’s bookC. became a successful illustrator for greeting cardsD. made a drawing of a young girl in overalls.48. You can tell Engelbreit’s cards from 20 paces away by their style of being____.A. plain and funnyB. bright and funnyC. plain and boldD. serious49. Which of the following characteristics is most important to Mary Engelbreit？A. CuteB. down-to-earthC. cheerfulD. humorous50. According to the writer, Mary Engelbreit finally realized her dream of illustrating children’sbook because____.A. she learned how to illustrate children’s booksB. she kept her feet firmly on the groundC. she overcame many difficultiesD. she succeeded in many different waysPassage ThreeAmy High is decked out in the traditional pink dress and golden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-grade classroom and greets her students: "Salvete, omnes!" (Hello, everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they are studying derivatives. "How many people are in a duet?" High asks. All the kids know the answer, and when she asks how they know, a boy responds, "Because duo is 'two' in Latin." High replies, "Plaudite!" and the 14 kids erupt in applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct such English words as bilateral and quadrilateral. "Latin's going to open up so many doors for you," High says. "You're going to be able to figure out the meaning of words you've never seen before."High teaches at Providence Elementary School in Fairfax City, Va., which has a lot riding on the success of her efforts. As part of Virginia's high-stakes testing program, schools that don't boost their scores by the year 2007 could lose state funding. So Fairfax City, just 18 miles southwest of the White House, has upgraded its two crumbling elementary schools with new high-tech television studios, computer labs and one very old feature--mandatory Latin.Here lies one of the more counterintuitive developments of the standardized-testing movement: Though some critics complain that teachers are forced to dumb down their lessons and "teach to the test," some schools are offering more challenging course work as a way of engaging students. In the past three years, scores of elementary schools in high-stakes testing states such as Texas, Virginia and Massachusetts have added Latin programs. Says Allen Griffith, a member of the Fairfax City school board: "If we’re trying to improve English skills, teaching Latin is an awfully effective, proved method."This is not your father's Latin, which was taught to elite college-bound high schoolers and drilled into them through memorization. Its tedium and perceived irrelevance almost drove Latin from public schools. Today's growth in elementary school Latin has been spurred by new, interactive oral curriculums, enlivened by lessons in Roman mythology and culture. "One thing that makes it engaging for kids is the goofy fun of investigating these guys in togas," says Marion Polsky, author of First Latin: A Language Discovery Program, the textbook used in Fairfax City.Latin enthusiasts believe that if young students learn word roots, they will be able to decipher unfamiliar words. (By some estimates, 65% of all English words have Latin roots.) Latin is an almost purely phonetic language. There are no silent letters, and each letter represents a singlesound. That makes it useful in teaching reading. And once kids master the grammatical structure of Latin--which is simple, logical and consistent--they will more easily grasp the many grammatical exceptions in English.51. From the first Paragraph we learn that _____.A. the students show little interest in learning LatinB. the students say hello to their teacher in LatinC. Amy High teaches the students to read Bible in LatinD. learning English is unnecessary if you have perfectly mastered Latin52. Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?A. The testing program is crucial to the schools.B. Latin is compulsory to the elementary schools students in Fairfax City.C. Providence Elementary School will not get state funding this year.D. Fairfax City government had done a lot to equip its elementary schools.53. According to Allen Griffith, Latin _______.A. has little to do with EnglishB. is very helpful to one’s learning EnglishC. wil l replace English in the near futureD. should be taught to kids even when they are in elementary school54. Which of the following best defines the word “plaudite”?A. Great.B. Sorry.C. Class is overD. Sad.55. One reason for Latin enthusiasts to sup port young students’ learning Latin is _______.A. Latin has a longer history than EnglishB. Latin has less word rootsC. every letter in English word represent a single soundD. Learning Latin will facilitate English learningIV. Translation.

Then decide whether the following statements are True or False.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time limit: 4 minutes and 57 secondsAs my train wasn't due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time. I made my way to the luggage (行李) office to collect the suitcase (小型旅行箱). I took out my wallet to find the receipt (收据) for my case, but the receipt was nowhere to be found. When my turn came, I explained this situation to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously (怀疑地) and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown object no different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If the list was correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly packed, and I wrote them down.After I had done this, I went to look among shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and, for one terrible moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked up the receipt, he could have easily claimed (认领) the case already. This did not happen fortunately, for after a time I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet, this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling note and the "lost" receipt came out with it. I couldn't help blushing (脸红) and looked up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen.1.When the man explained the matter to an assistant, theassistant looked at him with pity.TF2.The man got nervous while looking for his suitcase, as herealized anyone could take it with the receipt.TF3.The man's suitcase was laid in the corner on the ground.TF4.The assistant was trying to verify what the man was saying."To verify" means to check and make sure of somethingTF5.The man blushed because he felt timid and did not know whatto do.TFThe woman grew quite excited when she noticed her guest 1.She 2. 3.keeps.

The gardener made her way from one plant to another as she went on with the personal history of each plant.Part 6 Reading Comprehension (MultipleChoice)(每小题：2 分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choosethe best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.Friends play an important part in our lives. And while we may getalong well with a number of people, we can only be friends withvery few. The average student, for example, has about 6 friends.Most people spend time with others they like, but still the degree ofintimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interestvary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into accountthings like age, race, economic condition, social position, andintelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, itis more difficult to get along with people when there is a markeddifference in age and background.Many friends avoid argument. It is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs. They have attitudes and interests in common that they often talk about and they might think of themselves being "on the same wavelength". It generally takes time to reach this point however. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another for favors and to keep promises. Also, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class, or race.1.What is True according to the first paragraph?A. A person can only have a few real friends.B. We should put things such as age, race, economicconditions, social positions, and intelligence in the first placewhen making friends.C. People whom we can get along well with are our friends.D. A student has six friends at most.2.In Paragraph 3, "being on the same wavelength" means______.A. talking as fast as othersB. having the same topic as othersC. having attitudes and interests in commonD. having the same experiences and emotions3.The word " intimately" in Paragraph 3 perhaps means______.A. far awayB. closelyC. wellD. in distance4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Even friends may have difference of opinion.B. Friends never argue with each other.C. It takes time to become good friends.D. Shared experiences can make for a strong friendship.5.To strengthen friendly relationships, people______.A. should have the same age, class, and raceB. should get rid of the annoying habitsC. should support and understand each otherD. should hold friendship ceremonies。

Reading Comprehension(阅读理解：每题选择一个最佳选项)[A]This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between America and othercountries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand2. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____ .A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages3. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. Americans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America4. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car5. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students[B]In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, but, by interacting with native speakers of English, you may observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it." The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.6. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ___________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange languageD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language7. According to the passage, the present tense in English is ___________.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students8. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ___________.A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. comparing their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers9. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___________.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models10. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that ___________.A. mistake are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageD. mistakes do not interfere with communication[C]After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth（来回地）from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy（昏昏欲睡的）. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!11. A good title for this passage is ____________.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest12. The word "drowsy" in the last paragraph means ____________.A. sickB. stand upC. a little sleepyD. asleep13. The passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____________.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly14. During REM, ____________.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B15. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____________.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated here[D]How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly(可感知地) change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowed they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?16. This passage is mainly about _________.A. living space and behaviorB. population and living conditionsC. interesting experiments on ratsD. a natural law for human society17. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A. To determine how much living space a rat needs.B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C. To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D. to find out the relationship between population and living conditions.18. Which is NOT a result of being too crowded for rats?A. They become nervous.B. they cannot get enough rest.C. They become less active.D. They eat less.19. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions _________.A. are directly related with populationB. may cause an increase in violenceC. may lead to high birth rateD. may bring about pollution problems20. The author seems to imply that _________.A. human society is very similar to that of ratsB. birth control is essential fro a better lifeC. efforts should be made to improve living conditionsD. rats are not social animals[E]The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or ever more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. There are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car poll. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.21. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Each American family has got at least one car.B. Some American families have got more than one car.C. Cars are very common in the United States.D. Americans do not use cars for pleasure only.22. According to the passage, children must be taken to school by car when ________.A. their homes are over one mile away from their schoolB. there are no school buses available and the school is too far away for thechildren to go to on footC. there are a number of children in the neighborhood and their families have theirown carsD. the children are too young to walk23.

Three or four people who drive in turns to the office or the factory where they all work.D. Parents who drive their oven children to school in turns.24. What does the author think of forming car pool?A. It is a good practice.B. It is good only for mothers taking children to schoolC. It will cause parking problems.D. It helps cut down the number of cars produced each year.25. What does the author think is the problem about cars in the United States?A. There is a shortage of gasoline for a car.B. There are too many cars in the streets and on the roads.C. There are not enough cars to go around.D. Some families still do not have their own cars.[F]A four-year study conducted by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the idea way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician(儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.11. What would be a good title for the passage?A. How to Test InfantsB. Parents and ChildrenC. Choosing a BabysitterD. Day Care for Babies12. A baby is likely to feel more at ease with _________.A. a housekeeperB. an infantC. an adult strangerD. teenage children13. What does Dr. Benjamin Spock do?A. He recommends babysitters.B. He writes baby books.C. He conducts studies on infants.D. He directs a testing center.14. According to the passage, how should working parents provide care for their babies?A. Find a private home with other babies.B. Take their babies with them to work.C. Hire an adult to come into the home.D. Search for a large nursery with a good reputation.15. The author is talking to _________.A. working parentsB. researchers on infantsC. pediatriciansD. babies under three[G]It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21. Inflation is a situation in which __________.A. we find our money increase in its valueB. employment no longer becomes a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value22. According to the author, inflation __________.A. seldom happensB. is very common at the present timeC. has become rare in recent yearsD. is just reasonable23. According to the passage, if incomes and prices rise together __________.A. money will hold its valueB. inflation poses no problemC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. the business will prosper24. When money loses its value __________.A. its rate against gold will be kept at the same levelB. it is no longer stableC. goods will lose their valueD. incomes will keep rising25. In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother(烦恼) to save[H]Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to themuscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupil's time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.26. When we play tennis we have to _________.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back27. The "complicated chain of events" refers to _________.A. the passing of information and making of decisionsB. the meeting and hitting back of the ballC. the coordinated(协调的) movements of our eyes, brain and musclesD. a lot of practice before playing tennis28. By character-training, the author means that sports and games can help children _________.A. live a better life when they grow upB. know letter how to behave properly in their future lifeC. understand better the virtues they learn in booksD. All of the above29. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by _________.A. what he does out of classB. what he learns in booksC. his place in societyD. his lessons at school30. What is of the greatest importance to a football team isA. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climate[I]My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that's young and growing - your brain. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that's the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC. a suppositionD. a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to __________.A. think oneself too old to go back to schoolB. keep one's mind awakeC. try to stay youngD. get one's degree with honor33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became __________.A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to __________.A. go back to schoolB. forget one's own ageC. keep in touch with young peopleD. keep one's mind awake and active35. All of the following statement are true EXCEPT that __________.A. human brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what's going on around you IV. Translation(翻译：把下列英文翻译成汉语)[A]When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to coordinate our steps---his halting, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”[B]Alone now, the widow reads considerably. She used to underline favorite passages to share with her husband. Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter with the man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”。

He listened carefully for a few moments but could hear nothing. Inside, the front-room door was half open. Jonathan studied it thoughtfully, wondering if he had forgotten to close it that morning. He stepped silently across the hall to the door and looked inside the room. The shadow of a man was clearlyreflected on the far wall in the evening sunlight. The man had clearly been standing behind the door since Jonathan's return. Jonathan immediately locked the door. Then he calmly picked up the telephone in the hall and set about calling the police.The burglar (盗贼), a tall fellow, tried to climb through a window to get out but Jonathan had expected that.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Letter writing is becoming less and less common as millions of young people connect daily with their friends through the Internet. The Internet is quickly becoming the place, similar to department stores, where people of the younger generation go to talk with each other.Some young people use the phone less and stay online moreto keep in touch with others. Professors are of the opinion that the online connection is a positive development for an age group that desires to keep social relations.Today, 80 percent of American young people use the Net, according to Global TGI, a market research firm. By 2010, that number will climb to 95 percent.Although most young people say they still prefer talking by telephone because they can express feelings, many say they spend more time online. There are different reasons for that. First, online communication is relatively fast, cheap, and easy--especially compared to long-distance phone calls. Then there is the awareness that the Internet is a recent development, and, therefore, cool."Y oung people always have to be up on what's new," says Henkart, a high school junior from California. "Since email is cool, young people want to find out what the excitement is about."36. Why do many young people still prefer the phone to the Internet?37.

The lady said that she lived in a flat beside theirs, and that she had come to welcome them to their new home.Mrs. Jones invited her in. "I hope you'll excuse us for all this mess (杂乱)," said Mrs. Jones, "We are trying..." "Oh, that's quite all right," said the lady. "Do you know, in some parts of this town, neighbors are not at all friendly? There are some streets-and even some buildings-where people don't know their neighbors-not even their next-door ones. But in this building, everyone is a friend with everybody else. We are one big, happy family. I'm sure you'll be happy here."The lady was greatly surprised when she visited the same flat the next time, because she found that a different man and a woman had moved in.

英语试题（课文项）根据要求完成下列题目：1It has often been remarked that the saddest thing about youth is that it is wasted on the young.2Reading a survey report on first-year college students, I recalled the regret, "If only I knew then what I know now."3The survey revealed what I had already suspected from informal polls of students both in Macon and at the Robins Resident Center: If it (whatever it may be) won't compute and you can't drink it, smoke it or spend it, then "it" holds little value.4According to the survey based on responses from over 188,000 students, today's college beginners are "more consumeristic and less idealistic" than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.5_______6Interest in teaching, social service and the humanities is at a low, along with ethnic and women's studies. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.7_______8"I'll tell them what they can do with their music, history, literature, etc.," she was fond of saying. And that was four years ago; I tremble to think what she's earning now.9Frankly, I'm proud of the young lady (not her attitude but her success). But why can't we have it both ways? Can't we educate people for life as well as for a career? I believe we can.10______11This is where age and maturity enter. Most people, somewhere between the ages of 30 and 50, finally arrive at the inevitable conclusion that they were meant to do more than serve a corporation, a government agency, or whatever.12______13If it is a fact that the meaning of life does not dawn until middle age, is it then not the duty of educational institutions to prepare the way for that revelation? Most people, in their youth, resent the Social Security deductions from their pay, yet a seemingly few short years later find themselves standing anxiously by the mailbox.14While it's true all of us need a career, preferably a prosperous one, it is equally true that our civilization has collected an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own. And we are better for our understanding of these other contributions—be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More importantly, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.一、根据所给的提示和上下文内容将下列空缺内容补充完整：A.Most of us finally have the insight that quality of life is not entirely determined by a balance sheet.
