本篇文章難度適中，主要講述香港人口老齡化問題以及低生育率的問題，并講述老齡化所帶來(lái)的問題。雖然香港政府鼓勵(lì)人們生育并且為未來(lái)從事醫(yī)療計(jì)劃，但是香港人認(rèn)為政府做得不夠，政府應(yīng)該考慮完整的人口計(jì)劃。

【1】句意：與目前13%的比率相比，超過65歲的人口將會(huì)達(dá)到28%。

over超過（年齡、數(shù)目等超過）；about大約；under在……下面；around大約。根據(jù)Hong Kong Is Aging“香港正在老齡化”可知，表示“超過65歲的人口”，故選A。

【2】句意：如今香港的人們更喜歡沒有孩子并且活得比以前更長(zhǎng)。

like喜歡（后接to do或doing）；prefer更喜歡（后可接to do）；enjoy享受（后接doing）；think認(rèn)為。根據(jù)The Hong Kong government has encouraged people to give birth and worked on the medical plan for the future可知，人們不喜歡生小孩，排除D；根據(jù)空后not to do可知，排除C；且沒有like not to do這個(gè)說法，應(yīng)用don’t like或dislike to do。故選B。

【3】句意：這些理由已經(jīng)毀壞了人口結(jié)構(gòu)并且導(dǎo)致了令人擔(dān)憂的形式。

found out查明；led to導(dǎo)致；taken place發(fā)生；broke out爆發(fā)。根據(jù)Hong Kong has become the city with the lowest birth rate around the world for years“香港多年來(lái)已經(jīng)成為全球出生率最低的城市”可知，表示“導(dǎo)致令人擔(dān)憂的形式”，故選B。

【4】句意：香港多年以來(lái)已經(jīng)成為全球出生率最低的城市。

highest最高的；tallest最高的；lowest最低的；shortest最短的。根據(jù)The Hong Kong government has encouraged people to give birth and worked on the medical plan for the future“香港政府鼓勵(lì)人們生孩子并且開始從事未來(lái)的醫(yī)學(xué)計(jì)劃”可知，香港政府鼓勵(lì)人們生小孩，所以香港成為全球出生率最低的城市，故選C。

【5】句意：香港的男人和女人各自平均能夠活到83.1歲和90.1歲。

on average平均；at most至多；at least至少；in average含量平均。根據(jù)Hong Kong people live even longer than the Japanese“香港人活得甚至比日本人長(zhǎng)”可知，此處表示香港的男人和女人的平均年齡，故選A。

【6】句意：在這些情況下，工作人口變得更少并且在未來(lái)醫(yī)療花費(fèi)的數(shù)量會(huì)變得更大。

elderly上了年紀(jì)的；working工作；native本國(guó)的，本地的；urban城市的。根據(jù)全文可知，上文講述香港的老齡化嚴(yán)重，所以工作人口變得越來(lái)越少。故選B。

【7】句意：然而超過80%的人認(rèn)為政府做得還不夠多。

in fact事實(shí)上；however然而（表轉(zhuǎn)折）；therefore因此；then然后。根據(jù)The Hong Kong government has encouraged people to give birth and worked on the medical plan for the future“香港政府鼓勵(lì)人們生孩子并且開始從事未來(lái)的醫(yī)學(xué)計(jì)劃”可知，政府鼓勵(lì)人們生孩子，但是人們認(rèn)為政府做得不夠多，所以表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故選B。

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) A、B、C、D中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。C
We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.
Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average（平均）, three years longer than the non-runners.
Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts（健身專家） to lower the risk of injury（受傷） for people who are new to running.
⊙Take it easy.
Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance（里程） or speed.
⊙ Get good running shoes.
There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.
⊙Take good notes.
Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes. But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running.
（1）The writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph ____________.
A.good health comes from running
B.running is the best exercise
C.health problem can be solved by good exercise
D.not all exercise is equally（同樣的） good
（2）In the second paragraph, we know ____________.
A.three quarters of 55,000 adults were new to running
B.the number of non-runners was getting smaller
C.a good habit of running may help you live longer
D.the hope to live three years longer drives people to exercise
（3）You take notes in order to ____________.
A.remind you of where to have new shoes
B.help you find the way of running that fits you
C.take a rest between running days
D.help you do some research on exercise
（4）The purpose of the passage is to ____________.
A.provide information for the researchers to work better
B.warn the non-runners of the dangers in running
C.help runners to exercise in a scientific way
D.encourage as many people as possible to join in running

【題目】閱讀下面材料，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。B
Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (資源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
（1）Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?
A.Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.
B.Hope their guests use less disposable things.
C.Wish their guests to save money.
D.Want their guests to use more disposable things.
（2）Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Many disposable things are made of plastic.
B.Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.
C.Plastic is very bad for the environment.
D.Plastic breaks down easily.
（3）What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?
A.Use shopping bags made of plastic.
B.Do not throw away paper cups.
C.Use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks.
D.Do not forget to reuse daily necessities（日用品）.
（4）We can tell from the story that ________.
A.people don't like disposable things at all
B.we can't use paper or plastic bowls at school
C.we should use less plastic things and protect our environment
D.hotels won't provide disposable things because they want to save money

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。 The other day, I told Connie that I'd rather take the bus to work than ride in my comfortable limousine, because of the high cost of gasoline. But today, I discovered how wrong I was.
When I got into my limousine this morning, my driver told me that the motor didn't sound like it was running well.
“Look,” I said, “I have an important meeting at 9:00. I have to be on time!”
We drove about three blocks—then the motor died.
“Sorry, Mr. Foster. I thought this might happen. But look! There's the downtown bus. Maybe you should take it. So you don't miss your meeting.”
“Well, I…I…Oh! I suppose I have to.”
I got on the bus and gave the driver my money.
“Mister, are you serious? We can't make change for a $100 bill!”
“I AM CHARLES K. FOSTER. AND I ORDER THAT YOU SHOULD MAKE CHANGE!”
“Mister,” said the driver, “I don't care who you are. You will have to get off the bus.”
Well. I was so mad when I got off that bus that I didn't watch where I was going, and I was almost hit by a car! So now, all I have to say is this: My business may be killing me, but riding the bus certainly will.
