3．Are you good with money？I learnt to be careful with it during my childhood．My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week．So，I learnt I had to save some if I didn't want to run out of cash quickly．No surprise there：my dad was an accountant!
It's never too early to become money savvy （會(huì)理財(cái)）．That's what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks．He was part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school curriculum in England．It will be embedded（植入）in maths and citizenship education．This includes children from 5to 16years old．
Lewis says："We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy（無(wú)知）in the UK-one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued misselling epidemics （違規(guī)銷(xiāo)售）．"
Being careful with money pays off．Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to pay a large number of people who were persuaded to spend money and buy insurance policies they didn't need．Many wasted their money on investments which were not for them．Few have the patience to read the small print．
The British say‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves'．It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses．
Martin Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be thrifty（節(jié)儉） and refuses any suggestion that he is mean．The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express："the better you are with your cash，the better your life can be．People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely．"

32．From Paragraph 1we can know that the authorD．
A．ran out of cash quickly    B．earned a lot of money
C．was in deep debt           D．was good with money as a child
33．The financial education in England aims toC．
A．help children make money
B．deal with the current economic crisis
C．educate children to become money savvy
D．a(chǎn)void continued misselling epidemics

A．They invest money blindly and unwisely．
B．They neglect big purchases．
C．They have no patience to spend money．
D．They watch their daily expenses．
35．What does the author mainly tell us？B
A．Financial illiteracy is the cause of economic crisis．
B．Take care of money and life will be better．
C．Financial education must be included in schoo1．
D．People should learn to be thrifty and mean．

11．Tonight，my piano recital（鋼琴演奏會(huì)） was the most important thing in my family．My grandparents were coming by plane to hear me play．Even my busy Aunt Dianne，who is on TV every night reading the news，was coming．
But one thing was for sure．I would never win an award for my piano playing．And
that's just because the more I practiced，the more nervous I got．So there I was，on the stage，in my beautiful dress，and I sat down at the piano．But when I started to play，I hit a wrong note．I told myself to start over．But then I hit the wrong note again．It was as if I hadn't practiced at all．
Finally the disaster was over．I ran off the stage．I couldn't understand why audience（觀眾） were clapping．But they were．My mom and dad had flowers for me and we were all supposed to go out for a nice dinner，but I couldn't．I just wanted to go home and cry and never go anywhere again．After we went back home，Aunt Dianne just came in and sat down on the side of my bed．
"It was my first night on the air，"she said．"I had never been on television before and I made a mistake．I mispronounced my name and the name of the news show．And you know what？No one even noticed but me．Just like tonight，no one noticed-just you．"Aunt Dianne was right．I think we are harder on ourselves than anyone else is．Maybe I will leave my room．And maybe I'll play the piano again．

56．From the passage we can know Aunt DianneB．

18．The Hunan Satellite TV（HNTV） show"Where are we going，Dad？"is a big hit．Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone，and they had to spend 72hours with their children there．The program fully showed us a modern version of the"how to be a good father"．As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children，this new form of"Lost on the way"played by nanny Daddy and cute kids caused a lot of people's emotional resonance（共鳴）．Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer．But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children．
The TV shows like"Children are hard to support!"，"Where are we going，Dad？"，"hot mom"and"cute kids"are becoming more and more popular．All of these show the new parents'confusion in children's education and the appeal for the balance between career and family．
In real life，on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life； on the other hand they continue to do so．The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female，among whom 36% are aged from 25to 34．We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children，while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing，or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom．The story of a child without the company of father is still going on．In fact，it is sometimes the same to mothers．In a modern family，it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child．The participation of mother in the children's education is also very low．
It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education，and where the parents will guide their children to go that"Where are we going，Dad？"shows us．If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit，it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher．Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot．The truth is that children will go where their parents go； and society will go where the children go．

67．What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second passage？A
A．worried       B．favorable  C．optimistic      D．proud
68．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？B
A.36% of the audience of the program are male aged from 25-34．
B．Parents shouldn't entirely leave the education of children to the old．
C．In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child．
D．The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play．
69．In raising a child in modern society，parents shouldB．
A．play computer games with their children
B．balance well between family and career
C．keep their children at home to avoid socializing
D．break down the barrier between children and teachers
70．Which one is the best title of the passage？C
A．Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids
B．Modern Education is Important
C．Confusion Behind"Where are we going，dad？"
D．New problems in Modern Children's Education．

8．What historical site impresses you the most？I've always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt．A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them．Like millions of other tourists I marvelled at stoned-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilisation．
But popularity might be the collapse （崩潰） of such archaeological treasures．
Take Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings，for example．It lay untouched for more than 3，000years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922．Now more than 1，000people a day walk through it．
But as more and more people visit，the temperature and humidity （濕度） inside the tomb change．As a result，the beautifully decorated plaster （膠泥） is coming away from the rock．
In order to preserve its heritage，a replica of the monument is being opened about one km away from the actual burial site．Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun's tomb and used the data to recreate it．
Adam Lowe from the organisation behind the project，F(xiàn)actum Arte，says the copy is identical to the original．He believes visitors will want to"become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction"，so won't mind seeing a replica．
But for historian Tom Holland，a copy is still a copy．He believes that although preservation is important，there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun's tomb．
He says it was built"by people who believed in the world of the spirits，the dead and the supernatural．You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced．"
What about you：would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it？

51．The author mentions Tutankhamen's tomb to showD．
A．its marvelous ancient civilization
B．its popularity among tourists
C．its inner beautiful decoration
D．its damage caused by human activities
52．The underlined word"replica"（in Paragraph 5）means"B"．
A．copy
B．tomb
C．palace
D．door
53．The critics who are against the project hold the view thatB．
A．visitors will mind it
B．it can't be replaced
C．its inner beautiful decoration
D．its damage caused by human activities
54．What is the author's tone towards the project？B
A．Favorable．
B．Doubtful．
C．Objective．
D．Negtive．

12．There has been much discussion recently about reducing the weight of English in China's high-stake tests such as the national college entrance examination．It is argued by some applauding the recent change to reduce the importance of English in tests so that it will lead students to focus more on learning Chinese．The TV program Writing in Chinese has exposed the problem that students and the general public cannot write in Chinese as they used to do．
Some blame the design of the curriculum for giving English an equal or greater amount of emphasis，which might have contributed to the failure in teaching Chinese．But this is probably not a fair accusation since children in English speaking countries cannot spell either．
I doubt that studying English in itself hurts the study of Chinese．In fact，high achievers in English or another foreign language are more likely to be high achievers in Chinese．It has been proved many times in recent Chinese history that those capable of using a foreign language are also masters in their mother tongue．Qian Zhongshu，Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are just a few examples．
Another trend of thought for curriculum reform is related to the perception of"worth"．It is true that English is one of the subjects that students do spend too much time on，with pitiful results．This makes some doubt if it is worth giving it priority．But this is not a sound argument either as students still need to study things that matter more to their future in spite of challenges learning English presents to them．
Improvements in Chinese language education should not be achieved by sacrificing another important subject．There should be a robust（健康的） foreign language education program，as a foreign language improves a student's future job prospects．Bashing（抨擊） English education as a waste of time or using it as a goat for failures in Chinese education are both harmful tendencies．
To be constructive，we ought to start a dialogue on ways to make improvements in learning outcomes so that students'time learning English is spent more effectively．There are a few things that could improve English education，such as assessment design，learner motivation and teaching style，
I am sure there are many other areas where changes can greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of English learning．The public discourse at present is a little oversimplified．People are arguing for or against English having less weight in major tests，when the dialogue should be taken a step further，to the improvement of learning or teaching methods that may benefit the teaching of other subjects as well，Chinese included．

63．In paragraph 3 Qian Zhongshu，Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are mentioned toB．
  A．show respect for their capabilities of learning languages
  B．prove English and Chinese are not contradictory
  C．confirm the importance of learning English in China
  D．tell the readers English Education is to blame
64．According to the passage，which of the following statements is right？C
  A．The TV program Writing in Chinese is very popular at present．
  B．Good results of learning English are not worth so much time．
  C．Some are in favor of attaching less importance to English in exams．
  D．Sacrificing English can improve Chinese language education．
65．In the writer's opinion，what should be done to solve the argument？D
  A．Increasing time spent in learning Chinese．
  B．Increasing time spent in learning English．
  C．Reducing the weight of English in examinations．
  D．Improving the learning outcomes effectively．
66．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？A
