解析

36. wonder 意为“对……感到疑惑,想知道”。其它同句意不符。
37. I was met by a girl…无论从句意和结构上A更恰当。weet比greet句含的意义比“问候”更丰富。
38.  in trouble “遇到麻烦”,选择C句意恰当。
39. a member of… 表示属于某组织的成员,而且下文接着解释the Breakfast club 是干什么的,所以答案选D 。
40.  根据上下文判断Breakfast Club 就不是吃breakfast 的地方,而是学生间相互交流沟通的俱乐部。
41. 根据上下文判断Breakfast Club 是学生发起组织起来的。
42. as a result of 表示“由于……而产生的结果”后接名词。
43. 表达情况的虚拟语气,从句省略了if 而使用倒装结构,bad 前置。
44. for short 为固定短语,意为“简写为”。
45. privately 意为“个人谈话”,强调私人性质为个别交流,而secretly 强调保守秘密,不让第三者知道。
46. in their hearts和on their winds 作并列结构,起到强调everything 的作用。
47. motto 指“座右铭”
48. 从句意上选择select 更恰当。
49. diverse 指“多元化的”、“形形色色的”,强调不同成份。
50. academic achievement 指学习成绩。
51. belong to “属于”,participate“参与”
52. listener 才符合Breakfast Club 倾听沟通的宗旨。
53. 作为a good listener,应该“集思广益”(brainstorm),听取咨询者的倾诉,而不是提建议。

55. go through all the training and experiences指“共同经历”,其他与句意不符。

Twenty years ago,kids in school had never even heard of the Internet.Now,I"ll bet you can"t find a 36 person in your school who hasn"t 37 heard of it.In fact,many of us use it on a regular basis and can even use it at 38 .The “net” in Internet really stands for network.A network is two or more computers 39 together so that information can be 40 or sent from one computer to 41 .The Internet is a vast 42 for all types of information.You may enjoy using it to do 43 for a school project,downloading your favorite songs or 44 with friends and family.Information can be found 45 web pages that companies, organizations, and individuals(个人)create.It"s like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses!But since anyone can put 46 on the Internet,you also have to be careful and use your best 47 and a little common sense.
Just 48 you read something on a piece of paper someone puts on a bulletin board doesn"t mean that it"s good information,or even correct, for that matter.You have to be sure that whoever posted the information knows what they"re talking about, 49  if you"re doing research!But what if you"re just emailing people?You still have to be very 50 if you"ve never met the person that you"re communicating with online.You could be doing something 51 !You should never give out any 52  information to someone you don"t know,not even your name!And just like you can"t 53 the information on every website out there.You can"t 54 on what strangers you “meet”on the Internet tell you either.In the same way that you could 55 things about yourself to tell someone,someone else could do the same to you!

People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother"s Day on the second Sunday in May and Father"s Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with child-care.

They often have outdoor barbecues for Father"s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

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 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 retried 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 suffer 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 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 elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some workplaces especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The problem 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.
小题2: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 saving 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
小题3:The underlined word “viable” most probably means ____.
A.impossibleB.practicalC.usefullD.successful
小题4: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 problem of the old
小题5:What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this article?
A.To point out the need for government supporting 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.

The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card(信用卡) fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Web site(网站).Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care.

  If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start with https://—the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.
Keep your password safe: Most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.
