D.Fairly dull.‎ 答案A 解析推理判断题。从文中描述可知,作者退休后的生活忙碌而充实,并且有时间做自己想做的事,故A项正确。‎ 四、七选五 ‎(思维品质)‎ Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?‎ As we grow up,we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.These are influenced by society,our family,the education we receive and so on.　1　 ‎ Financial experts say that everyone also has their own beliefs of how to manage their finances.This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.‎ ‎　2　 They are:the ant,the cricket and the snail. ‎ The ant — works first ‎　3　 They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire.The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk. ‎ The cricket—enjoys first The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future.They even borrow money when they really want something.　4　 These people have little savings.When they get old,they might have problems.They should learn to save and buy insurance. ‎ The snail—lives under pressure ‎　5　 They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses.They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. ‎ A.Many young people now belong to this group.‎ B.On the other hand,many old people belong to this group.‎ C.According to our different values,experts put us in three categories.‎ D.The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.‎ E.Once this value system is set up,it’s not easy to change later in life.‎ F.Different from ants,crickets are those who make their life overburdened.‎ G.Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter,these people don’t care about enjoying the moment.‎ 答案1.E　2.C　3.G　4.A　5.D 五、语篇填空 ‎(语言能力)‎ When John Milton,the writer of Paradise Lost,entered Cambridge University,in 1625,he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of 1.　　　　　(study) it as his second language at St.Paul’s School,London.Like all English boys who prepared 2.　　　　　 college in grammar schools,he 3.　　　　　(learn) not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly.He spoke Latin smoothly,4.　　　　　,it seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy. ‎ Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way.They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart 5.　　　　　(easy).They first made a word-for-word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English.As they increased their skill,they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original.The schoolmaster was always at hand 6.　　　　　(encourage) them.All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in. ‎ After several years of study,the boys began to write 7.　　　　　(composition) in imitation of the Latin writers they read.And as they began to read Latin poems,they began to write poems in Latin.Because Milton was already 8.　　　　　 poet at ten,his poems were much better than those 9.　　　　　(painful) put together by the other boys.During the seven years Milton spent at university,he made regular use of his command of Latin.He wrote some excellent Latin poems,10.　　　　　 he published among his works in 1645. ‎ 答案1.studying　2.for　3.had learned　4.however ‎5.easier　6.to encourage　7.compositions　8.a　9.painfully　10.which
