Around 30 percent of the post­90s graduates surveyed live in a property of below 20 square meters one year after graduation. Half of the surveyed said they are unwilling to degrade their living conditions by incurring housing debts. The report，Society Blue Paper: China Social Situation Analysis and Prediction，surveyed 4,110 students born after 1990 in 12 universities across the country. Of the interviewed,2,730 of them are currently still students at school and 1,380 are graduates. The survey reveals that in a year after graduation，more than 70 percent of graduates rent houses or live in dormitories provided by their employers. About 20 percent live at home of their parents or relatives and less than 5 percent live in the houses of their own. “ The report shows most post­90s graduates have to purchase a house on their own，” said Tian Feng，deputy director of the research lab for teenagers and social problems affiliated(隶属的)to CASS. It is still a rigid(一成不变的)demand for the post­90s to have their own houses. Only one third of respondents agree to lower their current living conditions to save money to purchase a house，and about 55 percent choose not to buy a house if the investment means a heavy debt burden. More than half of the graduates believe that property investment is the best way to maintain the value of money for the time being. However，if the graduates had a sum of money for a down payment on a home，most said they would rather use the money on entrepreneurship(创业)or other business endeavors which they say provide a sense of achievement. Tian said that on the one hand，the post­1990 generation recognize traditional Chinese values which regard property as a necessity to build a family but on the other hand，they prefer a high­quality and free­style life instead of living under the economic restrictions imposed by heavy house loans.24Which of the following is NOT about post­1990 graduates property ownership?AThey put more stress on personal value.BThey are unwilling to lower their current living conditions.CThey want to invest on other things providing a sense of achievement.DThey neednt purchase a house on their own.25What does the underlined word “incurring” probably mean? ABearing.BLeaving. CClearing.DRemoving.26According to the passage，at most how many graduates interviewed have their own houses?A206.B137. C69.D55.27What can we infer from the last paragraph about the post­1990 generation?AThey treat property as a preference to build a house.BThey prefer a high­quality and free­style life.CThey have mixed feelings about property ownership.DThey lack a sense of responsibility. （C）When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity(团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene Ann and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.28. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show _A. the strength of family unity B. the difficulty of growing upC. the advantage of chopsticks D. the best way of giving a lesson29. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the Ann family _A. started a business in 1975 B. left Vietnam without much moneyC. bought a restaurant in San Francisco D. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles30. What can we infer about the Ann daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to run a corporation B. Strength comes from peaceC.

Family unity builds success （D）Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours，they would earn as much as 172，000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income 30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analysing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119 hours a week，40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1，000 mothers with children under 18，it found that, on most days，Mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that Mums could take on，including housekeeper，part­time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part­time lawyer，at 48.98 an hour，would prove to be the most profitable of the “Mum jobs”，with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face，with 80 per cent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of Mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day.The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never­ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.32How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?A30，000. B142，000.C172，000. D202，000.33The biggest challenge for most mothers is from _Aemotional demand Blow pay for workCheavy workload Dlack of training34What is stressed in the last paragraph?AMothers' importance shows in family all year long.BThe sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.CMothers' devotion to children can hardly be calculated.DInvesting time in parenting would bring a financial return.35What can we conclude from the study?AMothers' working hours should be largely reduced.BMothers should balance their time for work and rest.CMothers' labour is of a higher value than it is realized.DMothers should be freed from housework for social life.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Dos and Donts of DonatingGiving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a regular basis.36._ Here are some dos and donts of donating your belongings.
