2．I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France．The idea is simple，but revolutionary--combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building．The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities．In the afternoons，the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children，and if a child is feeling sad or tired，there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle（擁抱）．There are trips out and birthday parties too．
The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned．The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention，and respond well because someone has time for them．They see illness and death and learn to accept them．The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed．They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too．
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young．There are many reasons for this，including the breakdown of the extended family，working parents with no time to care for aging relations，families that have moved away，and smaller flats with no room for grandparents．But the result is the same--increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children．And more old people who are lonely and feel useless，along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support．It's a major problem in many societies．
That's why intergenerational programmes，designed to bring the old and the young together，are growing in popularity all over the world．There are examples of successful attempts all over the world．Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example．Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another，perhaps reading with children who need extra attention．

36．A nursery school is a place whereC．
A．future nurses are trained                        B．the elderly live
C．children are taken care of                       D．the old join in activities
37．Which is true according to the passage？B
A．A number of assistants are employed to take care of the children．
B．The new concept benefits both the elderly and the children．
C．The children become stronger after getting more individual attention．
D．The children learn that sick people will die．
38．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3？D
A．The reason why the old and the young are separated．
B．The support children need．
C．One reason why children don't live with their grandparents．
D．The problem that the old and the young are separated．
39．What does the"intergenerational programmes"in Paragraph 4refer to？A
A．Combining elderly homes with nursery schools．
B．Letting the children and the residents eat together．
C．Asking young people to teach IT skills to older people．
D．Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools．
40．What is the best title for the passage？B
A．Old people's Homes in France                     B．Building Bridges of Life
C．A Solution to the Elderly Problem                 D．Children's New Happy Life．

分析 本文介紹了一種新思維那就是在孩子們的生活與老年人的生活之間架起一座橋梁既解決了老人孤獨的問題又緩解了孩子們不能被充分照顧之憂一舉兩得從而滿足各自的需要．

解答 36-40．CBDAB
36  C  推理判斷題．通過第一段可以看出"combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building"的目的是讓孩子一起吃飯分享活動從中可推斷出nursery school與children有關(guān)，C選項符合題意．
37   B   細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段第一句得知"參與活動的每個有關(guān)人員都得到了巨大的利益"B選項正好符合此意．其他選項之意在文中沒有信息支持．故選B．
38   D   推理判斷題．根據(jù)本段第一句Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young．再加上下文細(xì)節(jié)的支持又有最后一句的歸納不難發(fā)現(xiàn)本段主要講述的問題是老人和年輕人被分開了，D與題意相符．做題時注意題干當(dāng)中的"mainly"之詞．故選D
39   A   推理判斷題．根據(jù)第四段第一句畫線部分后面的定語designed to bring the old and the young together，再結(jié)合第一段不難看出"intergenerational programmes"是"將養(yǎng)老院和幼兒園結(jié)合起來，A選項是最佳選擇B、C、D三個選項雖然在文中都提到但都屬于A項里面的具 體做法．故選A
40    B  主旨大意題．本篇的第一段里提到"new concept"最后一段提到"intergenerational programmes"都點明了同樣的意思在孩子們的生活 與老年人的生活之間架起了橋梁將他們連在一起．B選項正合此意．A、C、D 三個選項意思過于片面．故選B

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

13．Culture Shock
    Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings （of surprise，uncertainty，confusion，etc．） felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment，such as a foreign country．
Generally speaking，we could say that there are four stages of culture shock．The first stage is called"the honeymoon"．In this stage，you are excited about living in a different place．（36）G
    The next stage is"the hostility（敵意）stage"．In this stage，you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was．（37）D Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．
    Then you come to the third stage called"recovery"．In this stage，you start to feel more positive．（38）BThe whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it．
    The last stage of culture shock is called"adjustment"．In this stage，you have reached a point where you actually feel good．（39）EThe things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable．
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages．（40）CIt also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another （e．g．，from high school to college）．

A．You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock．
B．And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．
C．In addition，culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor．
D．You become tired of many things about the new culture．
E．You have learned enough to understand the new culture．
F．You begin to understand you need to travel a lot．
G．And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you．

10．The recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain's great scientists，biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking，is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men．Surprisingly，they have rather more in common than we think．
Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds．They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families---not wealthy but comfortably off，with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service．Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University---and both succeeded，Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics．
Neither author has a very positive view of his early university life．Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work，"You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail．Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for．"He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student （本科生）．
Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins．Like Hawking，he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures．But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful，"It was really only the tutorial system that educated me．"
For both men，scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962．Dawkins，who remained at Oxford，describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students，which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book，The Selfish Gene．This volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinism evolution．
Hawking，on the other hand，moved to Cambridge University after graduation，where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicists since Albert Einstein．He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body，leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes．Although communication is slow---he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine---his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and origins of the universe．
Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker．Read together，they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research．
 
41．Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins'backgrounds？D
A．They were both from wealthy families．
B．They studied the same subject in university．
C．They graduated from the same secondary school．
D．They both came from families that valued good education．
42．Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student？B
A．He preferred doing his own research and experiments．
B．Students considered it inappropriate to study too much．
C．The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him．
D．He was more interested in making friends with his classmates．
43．According to Dawkins，what helped him develop his most important ideas？D
A．His hard work as an undergraduate．
B．The support he received from his family．
C．The excellent tutors at Oxford University．
D．The competition from other postgraduate students．
44．What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage？D
A．Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate．
B．Hawking is more respected by the scientific community．
C．They knew each other during their studies a t Oxford．
D．Hawing has experienced more physical difficulties．
45．What is the function of the last paragraph？B
A．To state which book the writer prefers．
B．To recommend the reviewed books to readers．
C．To summarize the achievements of the two scientists．
D．To suggest the order in which the books should be read．

17．Almost anywhere in the world，you can probably see graffiti （涂鴉畫）．Although it's usually more common in big cities，it can be found in almost any community，big or small．
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it's really art．This isn't always an easy question to answer，simply because there are so many different types of graffiti．While some simply consists of collections of letters，known as tags，with little artistic value，such examples are easy to find，especially on larger spaces such as walls．
If it weren't for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission，it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art．Most graffiti，however，annoys the property owner，who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art．
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed，such as paints that  dissolve graffiti paint，or make it easy to remove．Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams．
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface （丑化） private or public property； but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them．Graffiti artists can，for example，create murals （壁畫） for property owners，and get paid for them．
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level，and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls．After all，who would remember Monet or Picasso if they'd created their masterpieces on walls，only to have them painted over the next day？Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy，but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world，we do need to try．

66．What would be the best title for this passage？D
A．How to Be a Good Graffiti Artist．B．Stop Removing Graffiti!
C．Do You Like Graffiti？D．Is Graffiti Art？
67．The reason why people remove graffiti is that itA．
A．makes buildings ugly                  B．has no artistic value at all
C．robs private property                   D．takes up too much space
68．In Paragraph 4，the underlined word"dissolve"is closest in meaning toC．
A．change         B．flow          C．remove           D．freeze
69．The example of Monet and Picasso are mentioned in the passage to indicate thatD．
A．they are world-famous artists
B．they are good at graffiti
C．walls are right places to keep their masterpieces
D．their works，if painted on the wall，might not be kept long
70．The writer's attitude toward graffiti is that graffitiD．
A．should be removed by more countries      B．should be saved on larger spaces
C．should be created only on paper or canvas     D．may be accepted as art．

14．Present or Future？
Americans are future-minded．They really live in the future．The present is just a way station． This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared even by all European countries．The French are known to be present-minded while the British are often called past-minded．For Japanese Zen followers，time is like a pool of water．Things just happen．There is no past，present or future．Egyptians are well known for their past mindedness．
I did not grow up with a telephone．So the Yellow Pages were something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U．S．．I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that it didn't have what I needed．My wife used to ask，"Didn't you call before going there？"The concept of calling ahead of time requires planning and a future mind，while my upbringing was in a present-minded culture．
One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking．So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in advance what things she needs for the upcoming meals．She is always sure that she has everything．The truth is that many times，in the middle of cooking，she will ask for items we don't have．That shows a present mind．You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning．
Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life accordingly is a sign of a future mind． Normally，when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas，I figure that it will rain today．Here people are trained from their childhood to figure out at least that day's expected weather before leaving the house．I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds．Here my present mind gets me wetevery time．
Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degree which is beyond the comprehension of many cultures across the globe．So the annoyance many Americans face when working with people from other cultures is understandable．In today's dialogue，building the bridge to the 21st century may turn out to be easier than building bridges with other cultures，which may appear to be so foreign．However，they are vital partners for our interdependent life on this planet．

60．The author was most likely born inB．
A．America       B．France    C．Britain    D．Egypt
61．Which is true about the author？A
A．He was more future-minded than his mother．
B．He received most of his education in Japan．
C．He learned to check the weather before going out．
D．He disliked calling the store before going shopping．
62．What's the main idea of the last paragraph？D
A．Americans value time more than any other culture．
B．Americans should be understood by other cultures．
C．Communication between cultures is easier than before．
D．Harmony should be achieved despite cultural differences．

12．Hallmark  arrived in my hometown of Calcutta，India when I was 16．On Valentine's Day（情人節(jié)），I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store．I remember wishing two things．One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me．Unfortunately，Valentine's Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism（資本主義） was ruining your culture．
The next Valentine's Day，I still didn't have a boyfriend，but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer．I can't remember what it exactly said inside the card，but it hardly mattered．I know I'm not the only one who's had the blues because of being single on Valentine's Day．
It's not just on Valentine's Day that I'm reminded of these feelings．One night，my friend and I were at the subway station in New York City waiting for the local to arrive．The station was mostly full of college students，and later an older couple walked in．Just at that moment，a street musician started playing She's Only a Woman to Me．The couple began dancing around the station and lost in their own world．On the train，I found myself recalling the time when I was with a date at the subway station，and there he picked me up in his arms like I was a ballerina（芭蕾舞女演員）．
My view of romance has changed from when I was 16in Calcutta to now，23，and living in Manhattan．This year，I won't focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day．I'll spend Valentine's Day with friends in New York City．But I won't try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone．Instead，I'll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome．

55．The underlined word"Hallmark"in Paragraph 1probably refers to aC．
A．city       B．street
C．store      D．man
56．We can infer that in the opinion of the writer's fatherB．
A．his daughter should have received a gift
B．people in India shouldn't celebrate Valentine's Day
C．people in India should welcome Western culture
D．his daughter should know more about capitalism
57．According to Paragraph 2，if someone has the blues，he or she is probablyD．
A．lucky          B．a(chǎn)ngry
C．excited        D．sad

A．The writer now has a boyfriend．
B．The writer now is afraid of Valentine's Day．
C．The writer will go to Rome with her coupled-up friends．
D．The writer's attitude towards Valentine's Day has changed．
