A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. 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 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 combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
4. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?
A. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.
C. To point out the need for government support for old people.
D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.
5. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Impossible. B. Practical.
C. Useful. D. Successful.
6. 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 for food and transport for the old.
D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.
7. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.
B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
C. There is no single solution to the problems of the old.
D. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.可知,由政府忙于照顾小的,没有资金照顾老人,所以这措施是行不通的,没有可操作性。从而可以猜测viable为“可行的”之意。故选
B。

Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a low-income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.
Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore, a home improvement store run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that,” he said. Josh set a fundraising deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didn’t shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.
Josh’s fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30,000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19,000.
“I didn’t care how long it took me,” Josh said. “I would raise $100,000. “With three weeks left, a company called Josh’s house, offering to donate $18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $124,000 before his deadline. “The momentum just kept going, and we decided to do more.”he said. “Josh’s Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.
Next year, the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province. As a 11-year-old kid when starting fundraising, Josh was able to send a powerful message
across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true.
8. Which word can best describe Josh Morrison in paragraph 2?

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home
countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage(传统)through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
12. What’s the function of food mentioned in the article?
A. To help motivate homesickness. B. To show national identity.
C. To reflect a country’s history. D. To show a community’s superiority.
13. What does the underlined “it”in Paragraph2 rfer to?
A. The specific traditional food. B. The national culture.
C. A traditional expression of food. D. The old-fashioned taste.
14. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?
A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C. To make the dishes popular among customers.
D. To present their own food culture in a new way.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?
A. Negative. B. Balanced.
C. Unfair. D. Unchangeable.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】

词义猜测题。根据上一句中It also operates as an expression of culture identity.可知,此句中it代指“民族文化”,句意为:移民们把它带到任何地方,它是他们的文化自豪感的象征,也是应对思乡之情的手段。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. 可知,一些移民不得不改变他们餐馆原有的菜肴是为了迎合不同的顾客。故选C。

47.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Jenny was a pretty eight-year-old girl.
One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace, by which she was totally defeated. How eagerly she wanted it! But when she saw the price, her heart sank a little. She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her. Her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I can buy you the necklace, but when we get home, we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately, feeling a burst of joy. So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day. Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you love me?” “Oh, yes, Daddy, you know I love you.” the little girl said delightedly, with a broad smile on her face. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” Hearing that, Jenny froze there, an anxious expression twisting her face. “Oh! Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay?” “Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss, gently and calmly. “Good night, little one.”
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, “Do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you.” the little girl murmured softly, trying to escape from her father’s eyes. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” “Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She is my favorite.” The little girl begged. “No, that’s okay,” her father said, smiling broadly and sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams.”

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her story, Jenny was waiting anxiously for him on the bed. When listening to the story, Jenny was totally absent-minded, with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly. When the story came to an end, unexpectedly, Jenny offered her beloved necklace to her father, with her fingers trembling automatically. No one knew what the necklace meant to her. She whispered to her father, softly and gently, “Daddy, you know I love you more than the necklace.” Then, the necklace slid into her father’s hands determinedly.
Paragraph 2:
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered, the father dragged out a blue box. Much to Jenny’s amazement, a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box, which set her heart racing. Jenny froze there, a thrilled expression twisting her face. Before Jenny was able to say something. her father brushed a warm kiss on her face and gathered her into his arms. Holding the genuine necklace in her hand, Jenny lifted her lip, tears beginning to blur her vision.

本篇书面表达考查读后续写。
【详解】读后续写主要以故事类文本为主,考生在阅读时,不应该走马观花看情节,而应找出文章的六要素(who, when, where, what, how, why
),然后将每个主要事件都用六要素串联成一句话。这样一来,冗长的故事就成了两三句,文章的结构自然清晰明了。同时,考生还应该分析已给出的两个开头句包含的主要句子结构,这样才能保证正确的写作方向。为了写出符合故事发展的“尾巴”,必须先分析原文的情节发展方向。除了采用上文提到过的六要素分析法,在审题时还应该着重分析三个点:起因、转折、高潮。只有确定了故事的起因,考生才能合理推断这个起因会导致的可能结果;只有确定了故事的转折,考生才能合理地将故事发展下去。不过,在设计情节时,同样要考虑六要素,将它们串联成一句话,再将这句话添砖加瓦变成段落。在语言方面,注意主谓语一致,时态呼应,用词贴切,合理使用高分词汇、短语及句型;不要抄原文,情节合情合理;书写美观,保持卷面整洁。
【点睛】范文内容完整,结构严谨,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了高级句子When listening to the story, Jenny was totally absent-minded, with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly.使用了状语从句的省略,和with复合结构;Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered, the father dragged out a blue box.使用了非谓语动词做状语;Much to Jenny’s amazement, a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box, which set her heart racing.使用了which引导的定语从句。这些为文章增色不少,而且全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
