If everyone matured at the same, fixed rate, it wouldnt be a human process. Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across different categories within the s

27、ame individual, so Id say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and Ive got the county court judgment to prove it.However, we broadly agree that theres a difference between a child and an adult, even if we might argue about the transitio

28、n point. So the political theorist David Runcimans view that six-year-olds should be allowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic responsibility. Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent,

29、 could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them the votealong with, unavoidably, seven-year-olds who are even sillier, if anythingis quite an amusing proposal.Runcimans argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life, which is currently twisted in favor of the old, wh

30、o dont (he added) ever need to demonstrate mental capacity, even long after theyve lost it.The first part of his case is self-evident: pensions are protected while childrens centers are closed, concepts such as sovereignty(最高权威) are prioritized over the far more urgent business of the future: climat

31、e change. Nostalgia(怀念) for a past the young wouldnt even recognize plays a central role, which is completely unfair.Most of the arguments against giving six-year-olds a vote are that children would end up voting for something damaging and chaotic, if someone made unrealistic promises to them, which

32、 could never be realized. Well, its not childrens fault.Having said that, children do tend towards the progressive, having a natural sense of justice (which kicks in at the age of six months, psychologists have shown, by creating scenes of great unfairness to babies, and making them cry) and an unde

33、rdeveloped sense of self-interest. My kid, when he was six, made quite a forceful case against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldnt cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be free. It was a kind of pre-Marx co

34、mmunism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you wouldnt mind someone else not having.On that particular day, when we were registered as voters, my kid was quite far to the left of me, but in the normal run of things, were united, which brings us to the point of the

35、problem: children obey you on almost nothing, but they do seem to believe in your politics until theyre adolescent. So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes. And what can stop us having even more children, once theres so much enfranchisement(选举权) in it for us?Now, i

36、f parents could be trusted to use their influence wisely, and hammer into children the politics it will take to assure a better future, then I wouldnt necessarily have a problem with that, apart from, obviously, that culture is already wildly twisted towards parents, and I can imagine a few non-pare

37、nts boiling with fierce anger. But thats not worth talking about anyway, because parents cant be trusted, otherwise wed all already vote Green(绿党).In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while were here, if any votes come up in the near future, which will have an impact on the next

38、five decades of British political life, alongside EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly should be enfranchised.1、The author refers to his age of adulthood to prove that _.Apeople mature at different rates in various aspectsBtheres a common standard for the age of adulthoodCa credit card is more diffic

39、ult to get than the voteDcertain rights are granted at different stages of life2、People reject David Runcimans proposal because _.Athey dont think a child can grow into adulthood earlierBthey are uncertain whether children can assume responsibilityCthey believe children are far from mature in many w

40、aysDthey know the age to get the vote is not to be questioned3、What is the base for David Runcimans argument?AA cultural preference for the old.BThe imbalance in political life.CInequalities of opportunity.DPublic ignorance of childrens abilities.4、The author talks about his kid to indicate that _.A

41、children are good-natured and like to help people in needBchildren are simple-minded and can fall for an adults trickCchildren are innocent and dont want to be involved in politicsDchildren are in favor of a just society and tend to be idealistic5、The author thinks allowing children the vote may lea

42、d to _.Atwisted cultureBmisuse of rightsCparents objectionsDunusual maturation6、What is the main point of the passage?AAllowing children the vote is not altogether absurd.BThere is a difference between adults and children.CParents should introduce politics to their children.DThe definition of adulth

43、ood is quite controversial.24（8分）Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit resid

44、ents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.Theres no more room to bury the dead, they cant be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against

45、 federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazils National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but t

46、he project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I havent got a job

47、, nor am I healthy. And now they say I cant die. Thats ridiculous,” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of th

48、e mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.1、What

49、 is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?ABan on building a new cemetery. BBan on parking in certain zones.CForbidding buried grounds in preservation. DProhibiting residents from dying early.2、What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?

50、AThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.BThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.CThe bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.DThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.3、Whats

51、 the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?AHe gives strong backing to them.BHe objects to them.CHe remains silent about them.DHe asks the residents for advice on them.4、Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe bill has come into effect but it doesn

52、t state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.BThe residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.CThe government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.DNo better resolution of the problems has been thought out.25（10分）I have been teaching the tenth-grade English

53、 for four years. Needless to say, I love my subject and vowed to one day impart(透露) my love of literature to my future students. Well, I must admit, I have made more than a difference. I have changed the way students perceive(感知) literature and have even inspired some to become English teachers.One

54、student in particular is named John. I met him last year when he was a student in my English class during the eighth period. He sat in the back often, saying very little. However, I sensed that he was taking in all that I taught. John was never absent nor was he late. He seemed very mature for his a

55、ge.As the year progressed, we read lots of poetry and various stories about different cultures and real-life experiences. I have always wanted literature to speak to my students so that they could find relevant connections which would finally give them that motivation to read, write and interpret. W

56、hile reading and writing poetry, John wrote some beautiful poetry that spoke of his experiences as a black male in America.On the last day of school, students were asked to write a brief autobiographical essay and to dedicate(献给) it to someone he or she thought was significant in his or her life. Jo

57、hn dedicated his essay to me and used clip art that decorated the dedication with roses.He stated in the essay that some people you meet in life are flowers, but then there are those who are roses. Ms. Hopkins, Ijust want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of

58、being in your class. You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet. I will never forget you. Tears streamed down my eyes. I had had a particularly hard personal life that year and somehow that letter made it worth the struggle.Making a significant contribution to someones life i

59、s something money could never buy. Teaching allows teachers to make a positive difference in the life of someone.1、Whats the authors purpose to take John for example?ATo show that her students were all excellent readers.BTo develop her own idea about English literature.CTo prove what she had just sa

60、id was true.DTo persuade her readers to change their minds.2、Why did John choose to dedicate his autobiographical essay to Ms. Hopkins?AHe thought she was significant in his life.BHe wanted to say to her that she was a red rose.CHe expected her to know he had enjoyed her class.DHe remembered she had
