Are you single or married? Are
you a cat or a dog owner? Do you exercise, or are you a “couch potato” (a
person who sits on the sofa all day watching TV, eating and basically doing
nothing)? These questions and many others are about your lifestyle.
People in the United States feel that they can choose their lifestyles and even shape their own
identities. The great variety of lifestyles leads to constant national
discussion of choices that people make. This freedom of choice is fun and
exciting, but it also creates stress and uncertainty. In newspapers, lifestyle
issues are discussed in the features or style section. In The Chicago Tribune
this section is called “Tempo”. People turn to this section for lively discussion
on lifestyle choices they face with regard to their personal identities, their
families, and their social lives.
Many American people believe
that they can make their lives happy and satisfying despite their problems. If
they lack confidence or tend to feel anxious, shy, angry, or depressed, they
believe that they can change themselves. Self-help books, magazines, and
feature articles are filled with advice from experts about steps to take to
become a happier or more satisfied person and to improve one’s self-respect.
Part of this research for self-improvement is a belief that even one’s own
appearance can be controlled. This is why there are so many articles in the
newspaper about looking young, wearing the latest fashions, and becoming
physically fit.
Lifestyle choices also involve
moral and social issues. How should children be raised? How should people
behave on a date? How should elderly people be treated? How can people stay
happily married? All these kinds of issues are constantly discussed and are constantly
changing. Not only are experts such as psychologists consulted, but stars from
the political and entertainment worlds are held up as lifestyle leaders as
well. In the newspaper, feature articles called profiles（简介）discuss in detail the personal lives
or public work of movie stars, authors, artists, and excellent individuals who
are not stars. The lifestyle choices these people make contribute to the public
discussion of all the issues that people think about.
A well-known advertising slogan
is “Just do it.” In the culture of the United States, people believe that they
can take action and become the kind of people they want to be and live the way
they want to
live.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

It has long
been thought that first-born children are more successful than their younger
brothers and sisters and often have qualities of being more organised and
responsible as well as being eager to be in charge.
study has shown that the elder child's achievements can help improve their younger
siblings(兄弟姐妹) exam results by helping them to raise their game. For the
first time ever, researchers from the University of Essex examined how the
success of first born children in school affected their younger brothers and
sisters by studying primary school test results.
And the data
showed that having an older brother or sister improved a child’s learning with
the equal effect of spending an extra &670 on the younger sibling's schooling. One
of the study’s authors Birgitta Rabe explained, the older sibling’s achievement
may have a direct effect on the younger sibling’s school grades if the older
sibling teaches the younger sibling or the younger sibling
imitates(模仿) the older sibling, for example in their work style, or
tries to be different, for example
the older sibling
passes on important information about educational choices or school and
teachers to the younger sibling.
The effect is
even more noticeable in less well-off families showing poorer children benefit
more from a successful older sibling. “We find that the effect is larger for
siblings in families relying on free school meals, living in poverty and
speaking a language other than English at home. This means that children who
live in poverty benefit more from a successful older sibling than children who
live in well-off families.”
29. The study is mainly based on the
children’s ________.
results&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.
work style
background&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D.
educational choices
30. According to the study, ________ tend
to benefit more from a successful older sibling.
children who live in rich families
children who live in poor families
children whose parents are successful
children whose mother language is English
31. What can we conclude from the study?
A. Younger siblings
are more successful than first borns.
B. First-born
children are as successful as their younger siblings.
C. First-born
children are more successful than their younger siblings.
D. The success
of first borns has positive effects on their younger siblings.
32. The passage is likely to appear in ________.
A. a newspaper

a high school textbook
C. a science

Holidays are
really important.& Many of us have childhood memories of summer

in different ways.

are expensive and, for those families on low salaries or living on
Benefits，they are often

for many families to meet.
For working
parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for
childcare. When an annual leave allowance
amounts to only five weeks, there is a need
to spread this across the year. Couples
can find themselves taking leave in turn in order
to care for children who are on holiday.
The schools
that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed (承

a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of
children receiving free school meals is
quite large in Nottingham and many schools have
breakfast clubs to make sure that children
get a healthy start to the day.

undertake programs of group or individual educational support.
Schools also have an important role in
safe guiding children's welfare through the
ongoing touch and support with their
pupils. During the long summer holidays, much
of this is missed.
In setting out
its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council is seeking to
reduce the summer holiday down to four
weeks, with a more balanced five terms of
roughly eight weeks, each followed by a
two-week break. We believe this will give real
&down time& for school staff and
pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a
real break in learning.

aren’t walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small
parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t
in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national
sickness: motorosis.
illness to which I had thought myself immune, for I was bred in the tradition
of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as
good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign
of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And
the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced — and beat — a teenage
football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.
enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the
heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out
recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids
exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And
walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry
Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can
learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of
seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He
cannot learn in a car.
car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life.
Many people don’t dare to approach N to them the world they were
born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river
thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while
waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that
the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can
evaluate what is basic and everlasting.

Millions of Americans return
from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn’t always come home
with them. Airline identification tags（标签）can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where.
And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines
collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don’t
keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot
sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace
So once insurance
companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong
to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which
is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all
of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of
the store’s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
Each day, clerks
bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老练的）shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find
everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather
jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
The store’s own
laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The
Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live
rattlesnake.
The store has a
little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（获得物）have been
preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian
pharaoh's tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.
Statistics
indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.
46. Paragraph 1 shows that
many passengers lose their luggage because______.
A. they are
B. they are in a

airlines cannot sell the bags is that ______.

find the owners

keep the bags as long as possible
48. The Unclaimed Baggage
Center is very popular because______.
A. there's a large
variety of goods
B. all the things
there are very cheap.
C. visitors may purchase something undervalued.
D. visitors will
enjoy some amusing activities there.
49. What can we infer from
the passage?
&A. A little museum will
keep all the precious unclaimed baggage.
&B. The percentage of
passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small.
&C. The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use.
&D. People are not
allowed to buy the illegal things in the store.
50. What is the main purpose
of the passage?
A. To introduce
how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America.
B. To introduce an
attractive place to tourists.
C. To remind
passengers of taking care of their baggage.
D. To advise the
airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage.

Nowadays the
cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to
own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The
result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the
local governments are faced with.
&& When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved
by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them
into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Souderton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre
traffic over five months.
&& What the council found, though, was that the project proved
somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of
their shops relied on passing car drivers for
some of their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their
&& Making car driving expensive is another way of encouraging people
to use public transport more. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their
cars less.&Fining&drivers who are in areas where cars have been
banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.
&& However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to
succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them
an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the

transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are

An English saying goes: “All work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy.” That means we should relax after a day’s
hard work or we’ll be unhealthy.
Many students know that if they want to
get ideal jobs with good salaries, they must do well in high school so they can
enter good universities. Therefore, they spend all day studying without time to
However, not all students can go to top
universities even if they work very hard. Students are pressurized by parents
and teachers who are just concerned about their studies and exam scores while
ignoring their hobbies and individual differences. As a result, students are
forces to work harder and harder. Furthermore, there is pressure coming from students
themselves. They realize they have a slim chance of getting into a top
university as competition is fierce. So, they put a lot of stress on themselves
and stay in a nervous state day after day. If they keep it up, they’ both psychological and physical.
What students need is relaxation. This
doesn’t mean that they should give up their ambitions and stop studying hard.
It means “work while you work, play while you play”. If you can do this, you
will improve your health greatly. You’ll feel yourself suddenly fresh, just
like recovering from a terrible illness. You’ll find that your studies are not
a burden anymore.

students need most.

universities.

during their work.
D. That they think too much about the
result of their work.

&&& Summer time is in full swing，which for many kids means being happily removed from the classroom
strictness and the stress of daily homework.
&&& But as kids and parents enjoy their
well-deserved break from school work，we can all take a
more active role in ensuring their minds don’t simply melt away into a mess of
video games，texting and social media.
&&& Summer is the perfect time to encourage
children to read. A recent study，conducted by Common
Sense Media，has found that the older kids get，the less
likely they are to read for pleasure.
&&& There has been a drop in reading among all kids，especially adolescents over time. And reading for fun drops off
dramatically as children grow. The study found that more than half of all
nine-year-old read daily for fun. But those numbers drop to just 27 percent
among 13-year-old and even lower for older teens. In 1984，31 percent of 17-year-old said they read every day for pleasure.
But that number has dropped to a disturbing 19 percent today.
&&& It’s not just the kids who are reading less.
Parents also read to their children less than ever. A recent survey shows this
busier generation of parents read to their children just an average of 30
minutes per day- down from an average of 45 minutes per day in 1999.
&&& In today’s world，there are
more distractions for children，and reading doesn’t always
stand high on that list. Part of the decline is surely due to the technology
impact on children. But the digital revolution also means opportunity. There
are more platforms than ever for children to read：from tablets
to e-Readers. In this brave new world，we must find more
creative ways to engage our kids and ensure that we are raising a new
generation of readers.

serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for the old
and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial（财政的） problem but
also a question 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（利润）should be set aside for this
purpose. But when a company must take lifelong responsibility for its employees，it may suffer from a commercial（商业的）disadvantage due to higher employee
way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual（个人的）. 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.
addition, the government could take the responsibility for the care of the old.
This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of
pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens,
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 old, particularly when it is
busy trying to care for the young.
further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some
workplaces especially for the old where they are independent.
sum up, all these solutions have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is
reasonable to expect that some combination of these solutions may be needed to
provide the care we hope to give to the old generations.
77．What is the passage mainly about?
What problems could the old face in society.
Why we should take responsibility for the old.
How we can improve the lives of the old.
Where the old can go to get their pensions.
78．According to the passage, how can the government help to improve
the lives of &the retired people?
Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
Increase saving levels of people during their working years.
Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
Make available pensions for those who have retired.
79．The underlined word
“viable” in para.4 most probably means “________”．
impossible&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.
unbelievable&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D.
successful
80．What can be concluded from the
A.Becoming
independent should be the goal of most old people.
Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.
There is no single solution to the problem of the old.

It is easy as a parent to get into the habit of calling your
children names. Often these names are used as terms of love, but can still be
damaging. Calling a child a little brat (顽童) or a booger can subconsciously (下意思地)
convince them that they are those things. This can hurt their self-image and
self-esteem. As a parent it is important to only use terms of
love that can’ t be misconstrued by the child, such as sweetheart,
darling, love, etc. or simply use their name.
is important for children to improve and to know when they have done something
wrong. If they are not corrected, they will continue to do things improperly.
However, when a child faces criticism regularly, it becomes extremely natural
for them to start criticizing themselves. As a parent, you should correct, not
criticize your child. When pointing out things they have done wrong, or that
need improvement, you should also point out good things. A child who never
hears anything good about himself or his actions will eventually start to
believe that there is nothing good about himself.
need to have their parents giving them attention every day. It is so easy to
just let your children entertain themselves with books, television, video
games, the computer, etc. It is possible to go a whole day without any kind of
meaningful conversation between child and parent. Children who are not getting
the attention they require from a parent will often stop doing school work, get
in trouble, or find few positive friends. It is important to remember to make
real efforts to have conversations about likes, dislikes, dreams, fears,
friendships, morals (道德), etc. daily, so that a child knows he can talk
to you, interrupt you if necessary, etc.
parent child relationship is one of the most important relationships a child
has. As a parent, you should continually try to improve your parenting, and
help your children to love themselves, and believe they have worth. If they do,
they will go further, and be more successful in every aspect of their life. If
you don’t, your child may face some real struggles that could have been easily

We all waste food, you and me
millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every
year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is
wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich
countries is almost the same as that produced in sub – Saharan Africa. This
raises some important questions.
developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have proper cooling,
storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables
dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food
is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems,
significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And
the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.
&& Consumer culture has filled
China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country
and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their
food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy
vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other
products close to their expiry (失败) date.
Chinese consumers tend to be generous. In restaurants or at home, often too
much food is ordered or cooked and served. So while trooping out of a restaurant,
full and happy, with colleagues or friends, they never look back at what’s left
untouched on the table. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for
the waste they create?

When we’re talking to someone, writing to
our parents, or making a phone call to our friends, our words carry the
message. So people communicate with words.
Can we communicate without words? The
answer is “Yes”. A smile on your face shows you’re happy and friendly. Tears
in your eyes tell others that you’re sad. When you put up your hand in
class, your teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You move
your head up and down, and people know you’re saying “Yes”. If you move your
head from side to side, you mean “No”.
Other things can also carry messages. For
example, a sign at the bus stop helps us to know which bus to take. A sign on
the door tells us where to go in or out. There are a lot of signs around us and
we receive messages all the time.
People can communicate in many other ways.
An artist can use his drawings to tell about the blue sky, the green grass and
many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in
the world, and also about people and their ideas.
Books, TV, radio and films all help us
communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world
and what other people are thinking about.
With the development of high tech, perhaps
our communication ways will change a lot.
