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 institutions (慈善机构、福利院)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 combinations of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.4. What is the passage mainly about ?A. The problem faced by the old in societyB. Why we should take responsibility for the oldC. How we can improve the lives of the oldD. Where the old can go to get their pensions5. 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(打折)for food and transport for the old.D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.6. The underlined word “viable” most probably means _ .A. impossibleB. practicalC. usefulD. successful7. What can be concluded from the passage ?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue (问题) of the old.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.CFish cats are a kind of cats that love water and love to fish. They are like tigers and lions only much smaller, around twice the size of our average pet cats. They live in wetlands of South Asia and mangrove forests (红树林)of South and Southeast Asia. Like many endangered species, fish cats were in danger of dying out more than twenty years ago, mainly because of the great international need for fish food and the people's cutting of the mangroves at an extremely fast speed.Mangroves of Southeast Asia are home to a great many fantastic species, like fish cats, turtles, shorebirds and others. Mangroves can protect soil, and they can be the first line of protection between storms, tsunamis and the millions of people who live next to them. The fact is that mangroves can store almost five to ten times more CO2 than other forests. So protecting mangroves may well be like protecting five to ten times more of other forests.Ten years ago, in South India, many people came together to change the future of their home. In less than 10 years, with international support, the state forest departments and the local people worked together to restore over 20,000 acres of unproductive fish and shrimp farms back into mangroves. Now experts are working with them in helping study and protecting the mangroves as well as the species living in them. Fish and shrimp farmers are now willing to work with experts to test the harvest of nature protection like fishes, turtles and other species in mangroves. The local farmers are encouraged to protect and plant mangroves where they have been lost. A win-win-win for fish cats, local people and the global ecosystem(生态系统)is being built.8. What made the fish cats endangered?A. Natural enemies and environment pollution.B. Cutting of mangroves and lack of water.C. Being too large and need for fish food.D. Less fish and overcutting of mangroves.9. Why are mangroves so important?A. They can prevent extreme weather.B. They can take in more CO2 effectively.C. They help plants grow better on the soil.D. They are perfect home to all species.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Ways of turning farms into forests.B. Changes of South India in 10 years.C. Efforts to protect the mangroves.D. Work in protecting shrimps.11. What's the best title for the text?A. Fish Cats and Mangroves ProtectionB. The Importance of MangrovesC. Ways to Protect Fish CatsD Man and NatureDSquare dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang. The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West,while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States. The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem. Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other. Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other peoples lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior. As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society. If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.12. The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to _.A. show his opinionB. make complaintsC. bring up the topicD. criticize the local police13. The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _.A. entertainmentB. quietnessC. freedomD. quality14. What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?A. Go back to China.B. Fight for their right.C. Ask America to change its law.D. Keep the noise lower.15. Whats the writers attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park?A. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant.B. He strongly supports the action of the local police.C. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture .This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another .
