A.It is never too old to learn
B.Think twice before you do

.阅读理解
A
When it comes to friends,I desire those who will share my happiness,who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me.I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love.It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours,too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade,I had a friend.We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors.We said little at school,but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper,and one of us would say:“Let's start with a train whistle today.”We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the end of that school year,we,too,were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London,I had a friend.He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair.But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine.We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears,sometimes in a funny way,in the other's dreams.She and I agree that,at certain times,we seem to be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments,I often think:“Yes,I must tell...”We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家),who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

A.become serious about her study
B.go to her friend's house regularly

答案:D
2.According to Paragraph 4,the author and her friend .
A.call each other regularly
B.have similar personalities
C.enjoy writing to each other
D.dream of meeting each other
解析:考查推理判断。从该段内容可知,我们写长长的信给对方,出现在对方的梦里,从来未曾见过面,因此C项正确。A项文章未提及;B项不符合文意,文章只是说她们在某些方面相似;D项也不符合文意。
答案:C
3.In the darkest moments,the author would prefer to .
A.seek professional help
B.be left alone
C.stay with her best friend
D.break the silence
解析:考查推理判断。最后一句说,在黑暗的时候(心情压抑的时候),我宁愿做自己最好的朋友,也就是说,在这些时候作者宁愿独自一人。
答案:B
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Unforgettable Experiences
B.Remarkable Imagination
C.Lifelong Friendship
D.Noble Companions
解析:考查主旨大意。本文介绍作者人生道路上的几个朋友,这些朋友与她一起写诗作文,和她一起探讨人生,尽管有些素未谋面。在心情压抑的时候,她宁可独自一人,她把充满激情的时光保留着,送给最好的朋友;她寻找能照亮她的生活的朋友。从这些内容判断,本题选D“品质高贵的朋友”。
答案:D
B
An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于) the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January,according to UCAS,the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at Alevel were also up.
Professor John Beath,the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University,said his firstyear lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400,rather than the usual 250.
“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors,who would like to learn something about it.One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn't traditionally done,”he added.
University applications rose 7% last year.But there were rises above average in several subjects.Nursing saw a 15% jump,with people's renewed interest in careers in the public sector (部门),which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters,and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on,although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking,the head of Child Trust Funds,said:“It's possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
语篇解读:受经济危机的影响,更多学生对经济学感兴趣,更多的学生把经济学作为自己的一门课程。
5.Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their .
A.greater stability
B.higher pay
C.fewer applications
D.better reputation

A.economics
should be the focus of school teaching
B.more students should be admitted to universities
C.the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened
D.children should solve financial problems themselves
解析:细节理解题。由文中倒数第二段“A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters...”可知。
答案:C
7.According to Hocking,the global economic crisis might make the youngsters .
A.wiser in money management
B.have access to better equipment
C.confident about their future careers
D.get jobs in Child Trust Funds
解析:细节理解题。由文中最后一段“It's possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”可知答案。

8.What's the main idea of the text?

答案:B
C(2010·湖北八校联考)“Primary school children
are abandoning books for computer games,as parents struggle to find the right balance between play,homework,reading and electronic entertainment at home,”Ed Balls,the Education Secretary,said yesterday.
Mr.Balls called on parents to cut down on the amount of time they let their children play computer games and urged them to spend at least ten minutes a night reading bedtime stories.
He added that a recent consultation by his department had found a huge groundswell of concern among parents about how best to regulate their children's computer play.“Across the country we should be getting our kids to play computer games a bit less and to read a bit more,” he said.
His comments followed the publication of a major international comparison of reading among tenyearolds which showed that England had fallen from third to fifteenth position in the past five years.Scotland fell from fourteenth to twentyfirst place in the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study,run by Boston College in Massachusetts.Russian children came top in the study.
The literacy report for England,produced for the Government by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER),found that 22 percent of English children spent five hours or more playing computer or video games on a normal school day,with 37 percent spending more than three hours.This was exceeded only by the US and seven other countries.
The report also found a clear association between the number of books at home and reading attainment.The 23 percent of children with 200 or more books at home had significantly higher reading scores than the 10 percent with ten or fewer books.
9.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Playing computer games too much can greatly affect children's learning grades.
B.Parents are urged to make children play computer games less and read more.
C.Tenyearold children in different countries spend different amount of time on reading.
D.It is necessary for children today to find a balance between playing and learning.
解析:主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是Ed Balls呼吁父母们加强对孩子的管束,让他们减少玩电脑游戏的时间,多读书。
答案:B
10.According to the passage, spend the most time on reading.
A.the Russian children
B.the American children
C.the English children
D.the Scottish children
解析:事实细节题。由第四段最后一句话“Russian children came top in the study.”可知,答案为A。
答案:A
11.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.How children perform at reading tests is mainly determined by the number of books they have at home.
B.Children should keep at least ten books at home in order to get good reading scores.
C.The number of books children have at home is obviously related to their reading tests.
D.Only the children who have more than 200 books at home can perform well at reading tests.
解析:事实细节题。最后一段说,该报告还发现,家庭藏书的多少与孩子的阅读量有很明显的联系,家中有200本以上书籍的孩子比家里只有10本或者更少书籍的孩子的阅读分数更高。
答案:C
12.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.busy parents today are to blame for causing reduced reading time for their children
B.parents haven't found a proper way to regulate their children's computer play
C.children in developed countries show less interest in reading
D.all the parents spend less than 10 minutes reading bedtime stories to their children
解析:推理判断题。第三段说,最近的一次咨询活动发现,父母十分关注该如何控制孩子们玩电脑游戏的时间,由此判断选B。文章没有提到这个现象的责任在谁(A项错),也没有说孩子阅读量的大小与国家经济发展的关系(C项错),D项与第二段的叙述不符。
答案:B
Ⅳ.任务型读写
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management.He raised a glass of water and asked the audience,“How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”
All of the students tried to answer the question,and their answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g.“It does not matter on the absolute weight.It depends on how long you hold it.If I hold it for a minute,it is OK.If I hold it for an hour,I will have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day,you will have to call an ambulance.It is exactly the same weight,but the longer I hold it,the heavier it becomes.”
“If we carry our burdens all the time,sooner or later,we will not be able to carry on,because the burden is becoming increasingly heavier.”
“What you have to do is put the glass down,rest for a while before holding it again.”
We have to put down the burden periodically (有周期地),so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.Otherwise I think that we will break down on the half way and can't realize our dream as we planned.All of us should really keep this in mind.
Before you return home from work tonight,put the burden of work down.Don't carry it back home.You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burden you are having now on your shoulders,let it down for a moment if you can.If you do like this,you can greatly improve your work efficiency (效率) and life quality.
Life is short;let's enjoy it to the fullest.
