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 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 in situations 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 working places 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.1. What is the passage mainly about?A. The problems 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?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 savings 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.3. The underlined word “viable” in the fourth paragraph most probably means “_”.A. impossibleB. practical C. usefulD. successful4. 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 problems of the old.5. What is the writers MAIN purpose in writing this article?A. To point out the need for government support 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.四、书面表达海底总动员(Finding Nemo)是一部深受青少年喜爱的动画电影,请你根据以下内容写一篇英文影评。1. 背景:澳大利亚的大堡礁(Great Barrier Reef)2. 导演:Andrew Stanton3. 角色:Marlin(一条逗笑的鱼);Nemo(Marlin勇敢的儿子);Dory(一条善良的鱼,后来与Nemo成为朋友)4. 故事梗概:一天,Nemo独自外出,不幸被人类抓上船,Nemo的父亲Marlin到处找儿子,后来Marlin遇到了好友Dory,并在其帮助下出发寻找Nemo。5. 评价:这部电影画面优美,故事动人,是一部人人欣赏的精彩电影。 答案与解析一、单项选择1A。last 持续;occupy 占领;perform 执行,表演,perform a ceremony 举行仪式;play表演。根据题意2008年奥运会开幕式持续了三个多小时,可知选A。2D。句意:美国的父母们认为知识使生活有意义,因此他们尽力为孩子们提供机会以发展他们的技能和值得花费精力的爱好。worthwhile 值得花时间(精力)的;worth后接动名词或名词;worthy 有价值的,常作表语;valuable 值钱的,贵重的。3D。考查动词辨析。句意:那个细心的编辑检查了设计蓝图唯恐漏掉什么。overlook 忽略;view 看见;escape 逃跑;omit 省略。所以只有D项符合句意。4A。despite 尽管,由busy与work hard可知,前后句为转折意义。besides 除外还有;but for 要不是,如果没有;due to 由于,因为。5A。句意:大约有150人在这次飞机坠毁事故中丧生,但有两个孩子幸免于难。survive后接名词作宾语,表示“从中幸存下来”。6A。句意:他向所有同事公开了他十年前因抢劫而坐牢的事。declare指“公开,让人知道”。7D。句意:如果你把半小时全部花在孩子身上,孩子会十分感激的。appreciate 感激,理解;delight 给某人以乐趣,使愉快;estimate 估计,评价;consider 考虑,思考。appreciate后接名词或动名词作宾语,不可接不定式。如:we shall appreciate hearing from you again我们会很高兴能再收到你的来信。8B。句意:有人发现Lees丢失的车被丢弃在公路旁的树林里。vanish 消灭;scatter 散落,分散;reject 拒绝。9D。本题考查的是虚拟语气。表示对过去的假设,主句的谓语用would have done,从句谓语用had done。10C。这道题表面上是否定了主句,但实际上I dont suppose中的not是否定从句的。suppose表示“认为”时的用法与think和believe相同。11C。考查动词短语辨析。句意:若下周他有空的话,他就去看你。drop in on sb. call on sb. 意为“拜访某人”;而call at sp. drop in at + sp. 意为“访问某地”。12A。考查短语。第一空用动词短语break away from sb. 表示“摆脱某人”,第二空用free from表示“免除”。13C。句意:他对社会主义国家作出了巨大的贡献,make contributions to sth.doing.是固定搭配,意“为作出贡献”。14D。句意:干预其他国家内部事务的任何国家都会被一致地谴责。condemn 谴责,责备;blame 责怪;scold 责骂;punish 惩罚,因此A、B、C三项都不符合题意。15B。句意:你的职责将包括代我去约会。include和involve后面都要求跟动名词作宾语,include指整体中包含某项内容;involve所包含的内容是抽象的事物,不一定要列出全部内容;contain指整体中或容器中现有、装有、含有;attain达到,得到。二、完形填空1B。Harrisburg和Lewisburg两个地方之间的“距离(distance)”大约是八十英里。D项表示“长度”,语意不恰当。2B。本段开头部分提到作者当时开车行驶在两地之间,所以此处描述的是“开车”的速度。3C。在一条狭窄的道路上,作者好几次被前面的一辆行驶缓慢的卡车“困住”了,即“无法超车”。4D。根据本段第二句中的内容可知作者当时急于赶路,所以非常“不耐烦地”握紧了拳头。5B。在一条开阔的公路上,作者“来到(came to)”了一个有交通灯的十字路口。6C。当作者“靠近(approached)”交通灯时,灯变成了红色,于是作者踩了刹车。7B。作者坐在那里,一直等待着交通灯“变成”绿色以便通行。8D。上文提到作者环顾左右和后面,但是空无一人,由此可知作者是至少一英里之内任何一个“方向”中唯一的人。9A。虽然当时四周没有一个人,可是作者没有闯红灯,作者开始“琢磨”自己这样做的原因。后三项分别表示“怀疑”“挣扎”“遗憾”,均不符合语境。10B。作者不害怕被“罚款”,因为四周没有交警。fine表示“处以罚金”,符合语境。11A。由于当时周围没有人,闯红灯当然不会有“危险”。12A。在当晚稍晚的时候,作者“遇到”了一群朋友。后三项分别表示“克服”“除掉”“回电话”,都不符合语境。13B。上一段的开头部分提到“作者不知道自己为什么当时没有闯红灯”,此时作者又“回想起”这个问题。14C。作者认为自己之所以停下来是因为这是我们所有人彼此之间的合同的一部分,它不仅仅是“法律”,而且是我们共同的一种安排。此处,第17空后面的law也是线索提示。15A。我们彼此信任对方会“执行”这种安排:我们不闯红灯。honor表示“信守,执行”,符合语境。16A。像我们中的大多数人一样,作者更可能“停止”做被社会常规认为是不好的事情。后三项分别表示“保护”“拒绝”“害怕”,均不符合语境。17D。与被法律禁止的事情相比,作者更不可能做社会常规“不赞成”的事情。disapprove of 不赞成;前三项分别表示“谈及”“支持”“吸收”,均不符合语境。18B。我们曾经彼此“信任”对方去做正确的事情,这非常令人惊奇。此外,第15空前面的部分以及第19空前面的部分都是线索提示。19B。作者强调的是彼此之间应该互相信任,这是“首先”需要做到的事情。20D。作者通过深思感悟到当时的行为非常正确,因此为那天晚上没有闯红灯感到无比“自豪”。三、阅读理解1. C。主旨大意题。文章的第一段很鲜明地点出主题,随后给出相关的建议。2. D。细节理解题。从文章的第四段“.through government taxes to increase the level of pensions .which can help provide a comfortable life for them”可知,D项正确。3. B。从前面一词unfortunately和后面的“The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly”可知,应选B,说明政府没有办法和能力来关注老年人。4. D。综合归纳题。文章给出了四种解决老年人的问题的办法,最后又指出:“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.”5. C。主旨大意题。由文章第一句话“A serious problem for todays society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives”及后面作者给出的四点建议旨在讨论可能解决这一社会重要问题的办法,可知应选C。四、书面表达参考范文:Finding Nemo, directed by Andrew Stanton, is set off the Australian coast in the Great Barrier Reef.Marlin is a clownish fish and he is a single parent. He has a son named Nemo, who is a naughty fish. Another character is Dory, who becomes a friend of Marlins. One day, when Nemo was alone, he was caught by human. Together with Dory,his father Marlin set out to look for Nemo. And at last, they succeeded.I like this story; the pictures in the film are great and the story is moving. It is a brilliant film for all to enjoy it.
