21、o should be responsible for our elderly(老年人)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 retired
22、employees.To make this possible，a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose.But when a company must take lifelong 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 responsibi
23、lity 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 gover
24、nment 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(养老金)Furthermore，some institutions should be created for senior citizens，which can help p
25、rovide 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 or
26、ganizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up，all these options(选择)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 elderl
27、y generations.31What is the passage mainly about?AThe problems faced by the old in society.BWhy we should take responsibility for the old.CHow we can improve the lives of the old.DWhere the old can go to get their pensions.32According to the passage，how can the government help to improve the lives o
28、f retired people?ASet aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.BIncrease savings levels of people during their working years.CIncrease the discounts for food and transport for the old.DMake available pensions for those who have retired.33The underlined word “viable” most pro
29、bably means“ ”Aimpossible BpracticalCuseful Dsuccessful34What can be concluded from the passage?ATaking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.BEmployers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.CBecoming independent should be the goal of most old people.DThere is no single solution
30、to the problems of the old.35What is the writers main purpose in writing this article?ATo point out the need for government support for old people.BTo make general readers aware of the problems of retired peopleCTo discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.DTo instruct retired p
31、eople on how they can have a happier life.CThe more you give to others，the more you reap yourself.When you share what you know，you will find that you grow according to the number of seeds that you sow.Such is the one secret to be happier in life.Spread cheer and teach others to do the same.People wi
32、ll gather around you to hear your wisdom，and feel your love.They will come to receive your sharing of what is inside you，all around you，and the messages coming from above.Life is all about giving back.It is not about heartache or lack.Count your blessings every day.Put them in a stack that grows hig

34、the cycle of giving and receiving works.Ah yes！You will discover endless perks!For many people today，especially women who are socialized to give of themselves，and told they are selfish if they want to do something for themselves，the cycle of giving and receiving gets blocked.When a person gives and
35、does not receive，then the energy flow gets cut off.Every person must receive，as well as give.Nature intended for that balance in creating that particular flow.Now why would that giving and receiving be a natural law？Because all people need to open themselves to receiving.In receiving you tell yourse
36、lf you are worthy and deserving of what life has to offer.36Which word can replace the underlined word in paragraph 1?Agather BreceiveCdevote Dlose37According to this passage，the author wants to tell us .AGiving is more important than receivingBReceiving is more important than givingCWomen need more
37、 receiving than givingDGiving and receiving is a natural law，and both are important38If you want to be popular with the people all around you，what should you do?AGiving them whatever they want to get.BDancing to the music to amuse them.CSharing whatever you have with them.DSpreading cheer and teach
38、others to do the same.39For the women who are giving，which sentence is right?AThey dont need receive or praise.BThey are selfish if they want to do something for themselves.CThey need receiving to encourage their energy to continue giving.DThey cant understand the secret to be happier in life.40The
39、reason why receiving is important is that .Awe living together is to receive our possessions.Blife is all about giving back not receiving from others.Cthe more you give to others，the more you reap yourself.Dyou are worthy and deserving of what life has to offer.DGrowing up in Swaziland，Sara was awar

62、快，因为她发现路边的树和行人后退得很快，这里选D项，突出速度之快。3D看到前面的车停下，作者应该感到很害怕，作者的情绪又一次升级。4A根据we turned around quickly可知，司机为了避免撞到那辆车。5B根据当时的情景可推断，司机转向太快，车子应该失去了控制。6A根据was later saved by the police可知，司机是被困在了车里，故选A项。7B根据下文作者多次做手术这一语境可知，作者“失血太多(suffered serious bleeding)”。8D作者立即被送到医院去了。9C根据上文作者重伤的语境及still一词可知，做了十个小时的手术后，作者的状况依
63、旧不好。10A根据语境可知，作者在转院的路上，肺衰竭了，所以会进重症监护室。fail在这里意为“(身体的某方面)衰退”。11D这里是指由于需要手术或者身体某些部位出现了毛病，故选D项。12A作者受伤严重，手术后也会留下很多毛病，所以这里是指她还能做一些日常事务，但很多她想做的事情都做不了了。13C这里是指作者以后还要去医院接受一些手术。文中多处提到的operaion一词为提示。14B这里是指所发生的这次车祸，故选B项。这次车祸改变了作者的一生，也改变了她身边一些人的一生。15C根据作者的这次经历可知，作者建议司机不要开快车，因为开快车会导致灾难。16When17.by18.As19.to20.

65、中所述，California有很多值得参观的地方。所以如果有机会去那里，你一定会玩得很开心。故B项正确。30C主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了关于加利福尼亚州值得旅游参观的特色之处，故C项最符合文义。31C根据文章第一段可得出答案。32D根据第四段前两句话可得出答案。33B 文章第四段说明政府可以通过税收提高老年人的养老金，但不幸的是目前国家的状况表明政府根本无法提供更多的资金来关注老人，因此，这是个不切实际的解决办法。34D最后一段最后一句话说明，要解决老年人的问题使用单一的办法是行不通的，必须要综合使用以上提到的几种解决办法(some combination of these options)。
66、35C文章讨论的是要解决老年人这个社会问题的几种可能的解决办法。【语篇解读】“善有善报”，人生中奉献和获得是不能分开的，奉献传播快乐是幸福的秘密；同时获得也是必然的自然规律，敞开心扉获得，会使你更加的充满活力，使你的价值得到承认。36B猜测词义题。根据文章的中心“Every person must receive，as well as give.”可猜出此处为：你奉献得越多，你就会收获越多。37D主旨大意题。通读全文可知作者通过论述奉献是快乐之源，而获得是必然的自然结果而得出：奉献和获得都是自然规律，同等重要。38D细节判断题。根据文章第二段开头一句可知要受到周围人的欢迎喜爱，就要传播快乐，教
