Lisa, a 25year old from Beijing, recently places a number of very unpleasant statements on the
Internet regarding the elderly.They include things like "don't rely on others", "don't expect others to
help", "don't be talkative", and "dont't be so stubborn". The underlying message was that elderly
people should not take advantage of their old age to demand special favours from others, particularly
from the young.This of course flies_in_the_face_of the Chinese tradition of respecting the elderly.But,
in my opinion, Lisa's "requests" might not be totally unreasonable.Old people do sometimes behave
like they're "stubborn"and "talkative". Still, the young woman is rudely insensitive to why the elderly
behave that way.As people get old, they become increasingly weakened physically.So it's natural for
them to ask for more help from others.As their memories decline, they tend to be talkative because
they easily forget what has just been said.The American psychologists D. R.Atkinson and G. Hackett
said that the brain is characterized by flexibility.It has the ability (most pronounced up to the age of 12)
to change itself as a result of experience.But, as the brain ages, this flexibility decreases.As a result, the
elderly are often inflexible in their ways.
Therefore, old people need real care and deserve to be taken care of.Many have devoted most of
their lives to the wellbeing of the family or social.Their aging is no reason for showing prejudice (偏見)
to them. According to Chinese tradition, older people are to be respected.As are Westerners.
I live in the US for eight years, and in Hong Kong for 13.Never have I seen or heard anyone who
would openly tell old people "to behave themselves".
We may encourage old people to be more selfreliant.But rudely demanding that they do so is ageism.
That's where the difference lies.
1. What does Lisa think of the elderly?
A. The elderly hate to rely on the others.
B. The elderly should take advantage of their old age.
C. They are not talkative but stubborn.
D. The elderly always demand special favors from the young.
2. The underlined part in the first paragraph can be replaced by"________".
A. expresses the apparent meaning of
B. shows disagreement with
C. deals with the surface meaning of
D. draws a conclusion from
3. What's the writer's attitude towards this problem?
A. The young woman is too sensitive to why the elderly behave that way.
B. The elderly naturally ask for more help from others, because their brain is characterized by flexibility.
C. The elderly are often inflexible in their ways, which makes the young suffer.
D. The elderly deserve to be taken care of and we shouldn't show our prejudice because of their aging.
4. The last three paragraphs really want to show that________.
A. we should respect the elderly
B. the people in the US or Hong Kong respect the older people
C. old people should be encouraged to be more selfreliant
D. different ideas about the elderly are allowed to exist

Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.
Li and his classmates from No.2 Middle School affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day(情人節(jié)) selling roses on the street. As night approached, they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.
Suddenly, a gang of robbers jumped out at them. The five robbers were tall and strong, so Li ran away to call the police. He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right. His classmates returned safe and sound.
So, what would you have done in Li’s situation? Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?
A new Beijing student code(守則) does not encourage you to risk(冒險(xiǎn)) your life to help them.
The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.
It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others in dangerous situations. Gone are the old calls, which had been in place since 1987, for students to “fight criminals(犯罪分子) courageously” and “sacrifice themselves to save other”. Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.
A well-known example was Lai Ning, who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.
The deaths connected to teenagers “heroic acts” started a national wide debate(爭(zhēng)論) about the protection of youngsters.
Wei Lusheng, a parent in Beijing, said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves, before learning from heroes.
But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.
“Getting rid of the ‘fight criminals courageously’ words do not mean we deny the spirit of ‘fearlessness’ and ‘readiness’ to help others”, said Li Jing, an official in Beijing. “But, we should be more rational(理智的) about the spirit of sacrifice.”
Li Lu’ou agreed. “Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward,” he said. “But you need to おmake sure you are able to offer help. For example, it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning, but didn’t know how to swim. In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”
1.Which is true about Li and his classmates?
A. They bought roses for each other on Valentine’s Day.
B. They called 110 immediately they were held up by a gang of robbers.
C. Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.
D. Instead of fighting the robbers Li thought it right for him to call the police.
2.The new student code was introduced in Beijing because_____________.
A. students are facing more danger than they used to
B.the old student code didn’t include the spirit of courage
C.the old one didn’t tell students how to protect themselves while helping others in trouble
D.the old student code encouraged students to sacrifice themselves to save others
3.Which can be inferred about Lai Ning?
A. He was one of the top 10 model young pioneers in 1987.
B. If it weren’t him, the forest fire would not have been put out.
C. According to the new code, he shouldn’t have risked his life to put out the fire.
D. His deeds did not agree with what the old student code encouraged.
4.The underlined word “deny” in the second last paragraph means “_____________”.
A. agree with B.disagree with
C.connect with D.object to
5.According to the new student code which of the following statements is right?
A. There will be more criminals after the new student code was introduced.
B. The police in Beijing will have a more difficult time in keeping order.
C. The spirit of “fearlessness” and “readiness” to help others will be thrown away.
D. Teenagers are advised to make sure they are able to offer help when they want to.

As I travel across China, I hope to learn as much as I can about the Chinese people, your history, and your dreams for the future and I hope to help the Chinese people understand more of America's history, the lessons the American people have drawn from it, and the dreams we hold for the 21st century.
I believe both Chinese and Americans aspire(立志，有愿望) to many of the same things--to provide for our families, to teach our children, to build our communities, to protect our earth, to shape our own futures, and pass brighter possibilities on to our children.

The steps we take over the next week can lead to far greater strides for our people in the years ahead.
Here in this city of your magnificent history, we must always remember that we, too, are ancestors(祖先).

BILL GATES has promised to give all of his US $ 58 billion fortune to charity—rather than leaving it for his children.
The founder of Microsoft, who steps down from his post Friday, said he wants to make a “positive contribution” to the world. He has promised to transfer his money to the charity he has set up with his wife Melinda, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funds health and education projects around the world.
He revealed(透露) his decision a week before he steps down as executive chairman of Microsoft, the firm he founded more than 30 years ago. The 52?year?old will continue to work as non?executive chairman and will spend just one day a week at the business.
Speaking about the joint?decision he made regarding his fortune with his wife, he said,“We’ve chosen not to pass it on to our children. We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact.” He said he did not want to leave it in his will for his children and added,“It’s like saying which children are most important.”

He will be succeeded in his post by Steve Balmer, the co?chief executive since 2000. Although the move was announced two years ago and there has been lots of planning, many people speculate that Gates’ departure will leave a big gap in the firm.
Charlene Li, from Consultants Forrester Research, said:“What they’re going to lose is that founding focus, and the ability to rally the troops.”
Microsoft has an outstanding financial performance and currently has profit margins estimated at 30 percent. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation claims to be the biggest philanthropic organization in the world.

III．閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）
第一節(jié) 閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
Now in his senior year in Bowdoin College, a small, elite liberal-arts（文科）college in Masine, Chen Yongfang has become such a devotee of the liberal-arts approach that he’s made it his mission to spread the word throughout China. He has coauthored a book called A True Liberal Arts Education, which essentially explains the little-known concept to Chinese students and their parents. Though there have been many books about how to get into Ivy League universities, “there was not a single book in China about the smaller liberal-arts colleges,” he says.
The book, which Chen wrote with friends Ye Lin and Wan Li, who also attend small U. S. colleges, touts（兜售）such benefits as intimate classes (the student-to-faculty ratio at Bowdoin is 9:1) and professors who focus on teaching rather than research. Chen, 23, explains that he was won over by Bowdoin’s commitment to nurturing skills for life, rather than simply for the workplace. “Liberal arts is abut fostering your identity,” he says. “They want to cultivate your mind.” He admits that liberal arts may be a hard sell in a country with an increasingly competitive job market. The book states bluntly that in the short term, a liberal-arts education won’t improve job prospects. “In China, employers are looking for someone who can come in and start working immediately when they graduate, not someone who still needs to be trained in practical skills,” Chen says.
The book, which received wide media coverage in
China and now has a waiting list for its second print run, is certainly timely:
it plays into a growing debate in China about what national universities should
be teaching. The country needs a workforce with the skills and creativity to
help move away from low-cost manufacturing and, in economic terms, move up the
value chain. And some educators believe liberal-arts training is vital to help
China deal with its increasingly complex new realities. Yet the well-known
intellectual historian Xu Jilin believes that China’s rapid expansion of higher
education has had a detrimental effect on curriculum as the country’s universities
race to compete globally. “Education these days in like factory-farming
chickens,” he says. “Universities all wan to get into international rakings—and
most of these depend on research. They’re not interested in providing a unique
education for our kids.”
1．According to Chen Yongfang, the benefits of attending liberal-arts colleges are the following EXCEPT .
A．closer relationship with tutors
B．teachers more devoted to teaching
C．practical skills for getting a job in China
D．development in mind and life-long ability
2．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．the teaching quality in big research universities not as good as small colleges
B．it is more difficult for liberal-arts graduates to find a job because employers don’t believe that they can perform well
C．literal-arts education is of little help to China’s economic development
D．research universities received more Chinese applicants than smaller liberal-arts colleges
3．The word “detrimental” in Para.3 probably means “_________.”
A．instant B．rewarding C．damaging D．obvious
4．According to Xu Jilin,___________.
A．the expansion of higher education has improved the competitive strength of China’s universities
B．Chinese universities are providing the same courses as foreign universities
C．many universities are not paying enough attention to teaching
D．research should gain more attention in order to improve China’s universities’ rankings
5．This passage is most probably adapted from_________.
A．a(chǎn)n article introducing liberal arts
B．a(chǎn)n article introducing the book A True Liberal Arts Education
C．a(chǎn)n article criticizing China’s higher education
D．a(chǎn)n advertisement for Bowdoin College
