阅读理解。     How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and, old people wishing they were young
again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age
gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
     Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents,
he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be
given so much without having to do anything in return. What"s more, life is always giving new things to the
child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his
pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being
punished for what he has wrongly done.
     When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his
clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing
about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used
to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and
has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society. 1. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _____. [     ]
A. life for a child is fairly easy
B. a child is always loved whatever he does
C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D. only children are interested in life 2. The main idea of the passage is that _____. [     ]
A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one"s life
D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life 3. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _____. [     ]
A. examples of successful young men
B. how to build up one"s position in society
C. joys and pains of old people
D. what to do when one has problems in life

阅读理解。     Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crime.
More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at Bushwick
High School graduate in four years.
     Some people might say, "We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges." But Malaak
Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, "Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges
than you do." She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they can
handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick
kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of
Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change, aims to show that any kid can change the world.
     "Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs." Says
Compton-Rock. "We want them to live a life of purpose and service."
     In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a
child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens,
cared for babies and bought groceries.
     "The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤儿院) and I helped a little boy who had been
abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS," says Queen Clyde, 12. "It"s been good to be
on this trip. But what"s also important is what we do when it"s finished. That"s what counts." " I never
appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing," says Sadara Lewis, 12 "It"s really changed
my attitude. I want to make a difference."
     The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their
experience, fund-raising and more. 1. What"s the main idea of the first paragraph? [     ]
A. Bushwick is the poorest place in New York City.
B. Bushwick still needs more care from the government.
C. It is children who suffer most in New York City.
D. Children in Bushwick are living in a bad situation. 2. In Compton-Rock"s opinion, the Bushwick kids _____. [     ]
A. have few challenges
B. should be kept out of schools
C. can learn to deal with their own problems by helping others
D. are living much better than people in Africa 3. Compared to Bushwick kids, some children in Soweto _____. [     ]
A. may have bigger challenges
B. receive no care from the government
C. are much more independent
D. are able to lead the family 4. According to the passage, "Journey for Change" can be best seen as the saying "_____". [     ]
A. God helps those who help themselves
B. saying and doing are two things
C. one stone kills two birds
D. a friend in need is a friend indeed 5. From the passage we know that _____. [     ]
A. there are few students in Bushwick High School
B. the trip to Soweto will have a long influence in spite of its short time
C. most children are suffering from AIDS in Soweto
D. kids with HIV will be abandoned in Soweto

完型填空。     I"ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of
showing care.
     What I   1   most about visiting my boyfriend"s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room
as we   2   ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to   3   his family as cold. When we got
into the   4   to go home, his father suddenly appeared   5 , he began to wash his son"s windscreen. I could
feel he is a caring man through the glass.
    I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often   6   me early in the morning. "Buy
Xerox. It"s a good sharp price," he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant   7   or inquiry about
my life,just financial instructions. This manner of his   8   me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought
about my father"s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his
   9   morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I  10  him.

Beauty has always been regarded as something admirable. Almost everyone thinks that attractive people are happier and healthier; they have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants (顾问) give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man"s rise, it is harmful to a woman"s. Handsome male executives (主管) were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required. This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.
1. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _____.
[ ]
A. strengthens the feminine qualities required B. makes women look more honest and capable C. is of great importance to women D. often enables women to succeed quickly
2. Bowman"s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.
[ ]
A. turns out to be an obstacle to men B. affects men and women alike C. has as little effect on men as on women D. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women
3. It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often _____.
[ ]
A. practical B. old-fashioned C. prejudiced D. serious
4. The author writes this passage to _____.
[ ]
A. discuss the negative aspects of being attractive B. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive C. demand equal rights for women D. emphasize the importance of appearance
