some information about the Charles Dickens Museum D tell readers how to make use of the Charles Dickens Museum B At the age of sixteen I joined a volunteer group with my dad I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia On the night we arrived we discovered that our family was living in a trailer 活动房车 that was in poor conditions A crew had been wolfing on it for two weeks but every time they finished one problem another surfaced We decided the only reasonable solution was to bridle a new house something unusual but necessary under these circumstances The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms a bath and a kitchen On Tuesday of that week while we ate lunch together I asked the family s three boys Josh Eric and Ryan What do you want for your new room Expecting toys and other gadgets that children suavity ask for we were astonished when Josh responded I just want a bed The boys had never slept in a bed They were accustomed to plastic mats That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift On Thursday night a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding When we saw the delivery truck coming we told the family about the surprise We could hardly contain ourselves It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning That afternoon as we fitted the frames of the beds together Eric ran into the house to watch us Too dirty to enter his room he observed with wide eyed enthusiasm from the doorway As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows Eric asked What is that A pillow he replied What do you do with it Eric continued to ask When you go to sleep you put your head on it I answered softly Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow Oh that s soft he said hugging it tightly 5 Now when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent my dad gently asks Do you have a pillow We know exactly what he means 41 The author s first volunteer project was A working on a poor trailerB helping a poor family C donning beds and beddingD dealing with a housing problem 42 On hearing Josh s answer the author was shocked because A the family lived in a trailer C Josh didn t know what a bed was B Josh expected to get some toys D The boys had no bed to sleep in 43 By We could hardly contain ourselves the author means that they all A felt confused B felt excited with joy C couldn t help laughingD failed to keep the secret 44 From the passage we can learn that what Eric had never seen before is A a trailer B a bed C a pillow D a truck 45 From the last two paragraphs the author s father means that A what the author wants to get may be unnecessary B the author should not waste money on small things C the author should do more volunteer work for the poor D what he will buy is not what the author wants but a pillow C A serious problem for today s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their Lives It is not only a financial problem but also a quashing of the system we want for our society I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem First employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees To make this possible a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose But when a company must take life long responsibility for its employees it may softer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor In addition the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions Furthermore some institution should be created for senior daises which can help provide a comfortable life for them Unfortunately as the present situation in our country shows this is not a truly viable answer The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent To sum up all these options have advantages and disadvantages Therefore it is 6 reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations 46 What is the passage mainly about A The problems faced by the old in society B Why we should take responsibility for the old C How we can improve the lives of the old D Where the old can go to get their pensions 47 According to the passage how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people A Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire B Increase savings levels of people during their working years C Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old D Make available pensions for those who have retired 48 The underlined word viable most probably means A impossible B practical C useful D successful 49 What can be concluded from the passage A Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money B Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age C Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people D There is no single solution to the problems of the old 50 What is the writer s main purpose in writing this article A To point out the need for government supped for old people B To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people C To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem D To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life D I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling 叛逆 I wish it were so At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents You should be learning to stand on your own hvo feet But take a good look at the present rebellion It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents Instead of striking out boldly on their own most of them are clutching 紧握 at one another s hands for reassurance They claim they want to dress as they please But they all wear the same clothes Then set off in new directions in music But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that many people are doing it They have come out of their cocoon 茧 into a larger cocoon It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be And many of today s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children All this adds to a great barrier 障碍 for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path But the barrier is worth climbing over The path is worth following You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party You may want to collect 7 rocks when everyone else is collecting records You may have some thoughts that you don t care to share with your classmates at once well go to it Find yourself Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are That is the only kind of popularity that really counts 51 In this passage the author wants to tell A teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves B readers how to be popular with people around C parents how to control and guide their children D people how to understand and respect each other 52 According to the author many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own but in fact most of them A have much difficulty understanding each other B lack confidence C dare not cope with 处理 problems single handed D are much afraid of getting lost 53 Which of the following is true according to the passage A There is no popularity that really counts B What many parents are doing is helping their children find their own paths C It is bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates D Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to but they are actually doing the same 54 What does the author think of advertisements A Convincing B Influential C Instructive D Authoritative 权威的 55 During the teenage years one should learn to A differ from others in as many ways as possible B get into the right reason and become popular C find one s real self D rebel against parents and the popularity wave 第 II 卷 共 35 分 第三部分 写作 第一节 阅读表达 共 5 个小题 每小题 2 分
