my mother joined a “Mrs. Forty-Plus” competition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told our family that she did not care if she won—she simply had always wanted to perform on stage. She told each of us “I’m not doing it to win: I’m doing it to dance!” The competition was exciting! I prayed that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed(摆姿势) to perfection, her speech brought tears to everyone’s eyes, and her performance was wonderful. That night, at age forty-three, my mother was crowned(为…加冕) “Mrs. Forty-Plus”. She was the first person in our family to ever win such a title. 64.The first paragraph mainly shows that the author’s mom was ___.

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(个人的). 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(养老金).Furthermore, some insituation 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 practical 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(选择) 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. 68. What is the passage mainly about? A. The problems faced by the old in society B. Why we should take responsibility for the old C How we can improve the lives of the old D. Where the old can go to get their pensions. 69. 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. 70. 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. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people D. There is no single solution to the problem of the old. 第二卷(共35分)第一部分：单词拼写。(每题1分，共10分) A.根据首字母写出正确的单词 71.

Considering about too many people in the big cities and famous sites around, our parents and I have made an agreement that we’ll go to the countryside not far away from our home to have a two-day trip by bicycle. We are setting out at 7 o’clock in the morning on October 1. If possible, we can get there earlier to fish. My dad and I are taking different kinds of things for our picnic and I am eager for my mum’s excellent cooking outside. For so long time our family haven’t been out together. Cycling there, I can make myself completely relaxed, enjoying beautiful scenery and warmth with my parents. Besides, we can stay in my uncle’s and have a small family party there at night. We are coming back the next afternoon. If you have any plan, please let me know. Hope to hear from you soon. Yours Wang Fei (责任编辑：admin) |
