【題目】When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remeber once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.

I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go and down I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.

I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tear s when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep.

I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to hey can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help you r fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again!

【解析】本文是一篇哲理感悟。文章講述的是“所有的路，最終都是回家的路”。 確實(shí)是這樣，這輩子所有的路不管怎樣波折最終都會引導(dǎo)著我們回家，有的是回到地球上看得見摸得著的家，有的是回到心里的家。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remeber once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. ---, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. 即使這樣，我也不覺得無聊。家附近的田野、山坡、林地都是極佳的玩耍場所，只有想不到，沒有玩不到的冒險(xiǎn)�？芍�，作者在他年輕的時(shí)候之所以幾乎沒有感到無聊是他可以在大自然中享受樂趣。故選C。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.（我開始害怕起來，我不想等天黑以后困在這條路上，但是如果現(xiàn)在往回，天黑前也回不到湖邊。）和第三段第二、三句--- My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tear s when I saw something in the distance.（心跳加速，雙腿疼痛，淚水幾乎要奪眶而出，我最后抬頭一瞥，遠(yuǎn)處好像有什么東西）由此推知，“我繼續(xù)朝前走著，恐懼在我心理蔓延”，這說明作者心里害怕，劃線詞something指的是Fear.故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. 在湖的后部沿岸，我驚奇的發(fā)現(xiàn)之前沒有的一條上了些年頭的草坪泥濘路。我當(dāng)即就決定去走走。這條路上遍布凹坑以及泥巴上的輪胎印，在路的兩邊類似分界線般的扎根的植物，這仍然不失為一個(gè)冒險(xiǎn)的好場所�？芍�(dāng)他在泥土路上探險(xiǎn)時(shí)他的想法是矛盾的。故選A。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段中Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to hey can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help you r fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again! 確實(shí)是這樣，這輩子所有的路不管怎樣波折最終都會引導(dǎo)著我們回家，有的是回到地球上看得見摸得著的家，有的是回到心里的家。愿你的人生之路都有愛為伴，愿你在旅途中幫助同路人，愿你人生中的一段又一段旅程都是通往“家”的旅程�？芍疚乃v述的是“所有的路，最終都是回家的路”。故選D。

【題目】For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs, coupled with the aging of the baby-boom generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995.The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology（老年學(xué)）.

Lawyers can specialize in “elder law”, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.

Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”

【1】With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit ________.

A. from the adoption of the “elder law”

B. from presenting their professional services to the elderly

C. by enriching their professional knowledge

D. by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests.

【2】Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?

A. Retirees who are business-minded.

B. The volunteer workers in retirement homes.

C. college graduates with an MBA or law degree.

D. Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.

【3】Why can businessmen gain profit in the emerging elder market?

A. Retirees are more generous in spending money.

B. They can employ more gerontologists.

C. The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.

D. There are more elderly people working than before.

【題目】閱讀理解
With fuel costs rising and airlines finding more fees to impose （強(qiáng)加，征稅）on travelers every day, airfare isn’t getting any cheaper. Since you can’t drive to all your dream destinations, flying is the only way to go sometimes and, undeniably, the fastest. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to find the most affordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead.
Get the best fare. Airlines put out their fare sales on Tuesday morning, making this day the best day to book a flight for less.
Fly during the least popular times. Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are the slowest days to fly, which means cheaper deals than the rest of the week. You can also find reduced rates on early morning flights, since many people don’t like to get up before the sun to get to the airport. Earlier boarding times can also considerably cut down your chances of getting bumped on an overbooked flight or delayed because of other delayed flights or mechanical issues.
Choose your seat later. Some airlines charge you to pick your seat when you book online, adding even more to the bottom line of your ticket cost. If you show up early on your travel day, you can still get suitable seats. Some of the best seats get held back until flight day, unless others are willing to pay extra for them ahead of time, so you still have the chance at one of those.
Fly on holidays. You already know that summer is the most expensive time to fly, and even though most other times are more affordable, the days surrounding holidays can be crazy. Save big if you’re willing to travel on major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Don’t wait until the last-minute to book. Many travelers don’t know that there’s a sweet spot for booking and getting the best price on your tickets. Book too early or too late and you could end up paying more than you need to. The best time to book is between three months and six weeks from when you want to travel.
（1）The passage is intended to _______.
A.inform us how to book a cheaper ticket
B.tell us how to choose the seat and time for a flight
C.persuade us into travelling by air
D.inform us of some best ways to save money on a flight
（2）Which of the following statements is not true?
A.Airline travelers are supposed to pay more for the rising fuel costs
B.Early morning flight will help avoid some bumps and delays.
C.You can only book your seat online before or on your flight day.
D.Booking too early may cost you more money on your tickets.
（3）Which is the best time to book the flight for October 2nd?
A.May 15th
B.August 15th
C.June 15th
D.September 15th

【題目】閱讀理解
Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.
The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(養(yǎng)育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.
Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."
（1）The underlined expression "parental involvement " in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A.parents' expectation on children's health
B.parents' participation in children's education
C.parents' control over children's life
D.parents' plan for children's future
（2）What is the major finding of Robinson's study ?
A.Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.
B.Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.
C.Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.
D.Parents are not able to help with children's homework.
（3）The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should .
A.help children realize the importance of schooling
B.set a specific life goal for their children
C.spend more time improving their own lives
D.take a more active part in school management
