1.It is an inescapable fact that to most people there comes a time when failing powers of mind or body made it impossible for them to manage their daily lives without some sort of help, and despite the weakened sense of family solidarity, this help comes in many cases from children, other relatives, or occasionally friends. When an old person or old couple gives up an independent home and becomes part of another household it does not mean that all the problems of old age are automatically solved; the problems are different, not so pressing perhaps, and their solution lies more with the younger relatives than with the older people themselves. Caring for the aged requires skill as well as goodwill. Much advice is now available for those caring for young children and babies, and there are numerous books to help mothers in bringing up their families, but as far as I know little has been written about the day-to-day care of old people. Fortunately the first essentials, sympathy and affection, are very often to be found, and will carry relatives, friends and old people a long way, but not the whole way; without these two virtues the work of caring for the old can be onerous (繁重的) and unrewarding. Probably the first thing for anyone to learn who has old people to care for is the need to allow them the freedom of action, to realize that their personality is still individual and that social significance is essential to happiness. It is all too easy to take the attitude that the old are past doing anything and to encourage resting and doing nothing. This is mistaken kindness, though it may be an easy way of satisfying the conscience compared with the more exacting way of continual encouragement to be active, to go out, to find worthwhile occupation. The latter course, 10 however, is much more likely to promote happiness.71.To solve the problems of the old, __________.A.younger relatives should play a key roleB.old people should live with younger relativesC.old people should live in an independent homeD.younger relatives should visit the old occasionally72.Advice about bringing up families is mentioned in the second paragraph to show that __________.A.it is the first essential to care for the oldB.it is easier to care for the young than the oldC.goodwill and skill are required in caring for the oldD.there are not enough suggestions about caring for the old73.Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?A.Younger relatives often, but not always feel sympathy and affection for the old.B.With failing powers of mind or body, the old should be encouraged to rest.C.Young people are more concerned with social significance than the old.D.It is mistaken kindness to encourage the old to look for a job.74.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "pressing" (Para.1)?A.independentC.automaticB.essentialD.urgent75.What is the best title for the passage?A.Personalities of the OldB.Problems of the OldC.Caring for the OldD.Housing of the Old

    根据下列内容,回答206-210题。
    When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, webrought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules isthat young people should always respect eiders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrass-ment in the United States.
    I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving foodto a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told herthat I had made sure they got their food quickly because ! always respect the elderly. As soon as Isaid that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, tookme aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike thedescription "old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heardmy reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed
    and were no longer angry.
    In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventyor eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Youngpeople always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
    However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows thata person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep them-selves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping tolook young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry be-cause this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn'twant to hear.
    After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don't respect themany more; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

    How do older people think of younger people’s habits?  

    正确答案: Given the two generations lived in the totally different environment ,I bet their living habits are different from us in many aspects. I am not sure what older people think of us. I guess that they might think we are a bit spoiled and can’t endure hardships. Since our lives are easier and we have many opportunities to enjoy a lot of entertainment. I’ve heard some of them complain that since the one-child policy we are a bit too spoiled. They often complain that we never work hard and we don’t show as much respect to older people as they did when they were young.

    PART 3Discussion topics: Children Do you think children today are happier?

    正确答案: While I think we have to talk about the issue critically. Firstly, I don’t think kids today are happier than before. Kids nowadays have to endure heavy bags and tight schedule and they also have to worry about many things for they have tremendous academic pressure .But they can attend many extra-curriculum classes(or interest classes )and learn many skills such as the piano, dancing and so on. I think they are a little burdened but I also think they are lucky because they have the opportunity to learn so much. Children in the past didn’t have so many chances to learn those things but they have less pressure.

    问答题
    Now Internet has almost become the symbol of information age. Some think that it is a very great invention because by it, they can do many things that were impossible before. But some view Internet with much disapproval because it distracts people's attention rather than help people do things better. What is your opinion about the influence of Internet on the modern society? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic:Internet and the Modern SocietyIn the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement, with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have .written to a natural conclusion or a summary.  Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

    正确答案:
    The Internet and the Modern Society Recently the influence of Internet has attracted much public attention. People worry about the time wasted on it, the damage caused by virus spread on it, and most of all, some violent crimes committed due to the violent games played on it. All these concerns may be reasonable. But if we take a broader perspective, we may find that Internet has had many positive impacts on the modern society.
    First of all, Internet has made the access to information more convenient. In .the past, people could get information they wanted through only limited channels, such as newspaper, radio, and television. This means that only a certain amount of people could get the information at a certain time and in a certain place. But now with the help of internet, people can get information no matter when they want. As a researcher has pointed out, information explosion means that people live in the ocean of information, and Internet has been essential to make that true.
    Besides, Internet has also made communication more convenient. Sociologists agree that communication is vital to maintain harmonious human relation, but the communication was rather inconvenient in the past despite the continuous improvement of technology. Letters have been so slow as to be nicknamed snail mail; telegraph and telephone may be quicker, but they have been very costly. But now many new communication tools developed on the basis of the Internet, such as e-mail, msn and QQ, have made talking to a person extremely quick, convenient, and virtually free of charge. This will undoubtedly improve the human relation in the modern world.
    The most important impact, however, is that Internet has made social interaction more convenient. Before the Internet era, various social institutes had only limited options to choose from if they wanted to reach the public, and naturally the result was usually unsatisfactory. But now in the Internet era, all these institutes can set up their own websites, which can not only provide the public with information but also collect reaction from the public. For example, the government can collect people's opinion about a certain project through the Internet, producers can promote products through Internet, and universities can clarify admission policies through Internet. The result is that Internet can help to bring about a more open, fair and interactive society.
    In a word, more convenient social interaction, personal communication and access to information are the three major changes the Internet has made in the modern society. Although there do exist some problems with the Internet, these positive influences certainly are more important. What we should do is to find measures to solve the problems rather than just talk about them. Just as the proverb goes, we should not stop eating for fear of being choked.
    解析:
    本题的题目首先列举了人们对互联网的两种看法,然后要求考生谈论自己对关于“互联网对现代社会的影响”。本文的引言段采用的是转折式(self-refutation)。作者先列举了互联网的一些问题,然后话锋一转,提出互联网的影响主要是积极的这一观点。在正文段落中,作者分别从三个方面阐述互联网的影响,即获取信息更方便、人际交流更方便和社会互动更方便。这一顺序非常合理,从个人到社会,符合范围从小到大、水平从低到高的规律。前面两段的衔接词分别为first of all和besides,第三段则使用了the most important impact,however,这起到了很好的强调作用。另外,第一段中的专家证言和第二段中的例子都使得文章的内容更加丰富。结论段使用in a word开始,作者在一句话中完成了summary。Final comment中的格言的使用,也为文章添色不少。

    A man is 36 years old. He asks the other man how old he is. The other man answers: “I am twice as old as you were when I was as old as you are today.” How old is the other man?

    正确答案: 48
    解析: 解答本题需要理解“I am twice as old as you were when I was as old as you are today.”,意思为:B男在A男这个年纪(36)时,B男年龄是当时A男年龄的两倍,假设B男年龄为x,则x=[36-(x-36)]*2=x,故x=48。
