Currently, they have to pay into their pension(养老金) plans for at least 15 years before they can retire.‎ ‎ Chen Xianlian, a female worker at a motorcycle parts company in Chongqing municipality is among those who would like to see the retirement age unchanged. “I have to do lots of tough and repetitive work every day and I feel very tired after my working day,” the 41-year-old said. “All my colleagues are discussing the government's possible move to raise the retirement age. None of us wants to work any more years.”‎ University graduates also fear that any rise in the retirement age could limit their employment opportunities.‎ ‎21．We can learn from the passage that ________.‎ ‎ A．China is not planning to push back the age at which workers can retire ‎ B．China is probably going to delay the retirement age in the future ‎ C．China is not likely to delay the retirement age in the future D． China has pushed back the age at which workers can retire ‎22．According to the current policy, Chen Xianlian has to work ________ more years from now before her retirement. ‎ A. 9 B. ‎14 ‎ C. 19 D. 15‎ ‎23. The underlined word “hikes” in Paragraph 4 means ________.‎ A. discussing B. reducing C. pushing D. increasing ‎ ‎24．Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A. Not all the Chinese people support the new policy.‎ B. The life expectancy of Chinese people is expected to rise to 73 during the next five years. ‎ C. The retirement age in China will be 60 for men and 55 for women in the government and 50 for female workers.‎ D. The government has put a fixed timetable on the new policy.‎ B With the development of our country, starting your own business has become a trend, which was once unheard of in China. Nowadays, though, it’s quite common to become your own boss. Let’s say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what you’ll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didn’t have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan.‎ The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful.‎ Product Your product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new, don’t expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them.‎ Place There’s no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall.‎ ‎ Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them?‎ Price Work out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, you’re also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too!‎ Promotion ‎ How can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business.‎ ‎25. What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A. How to start a business. B. Starting a business soon.‎ C. Preparations for starting a business. D. Starting your own business.‎ ‎26. If you want to start a noodle shop, you should ________.‎ A. expect people to show much interest B. let people try it at a low price C. research your noodles D. let children have a try ‎27. According to the author, the reason why most businesses fail is due to lack of ________.‎ A. a shop B. a business plan C. money D. successful businessmen ‎28. You are selling toys to children. It costs 5 yuan to make each one. How much should you charge the children for each toy?‎ A. 15 yuan. B. 5 yuan. C. 50 yuan . D. 10 yuan.‎ C I hold the belief that parents do not owe(欠) their children a college education. If they can afford it ,they can certainly send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty if they can't. If the children really want to go, they'll find a way. There are plenty of loans(借款) and scholarships for the bright and eager ones who can't afford to pay.‎ When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them a payment on a house. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren. If they want to, it must be considered a favor(恩惠) but not an obligation（义务）.‎ Do parents owe their children anything? Yes ,they owe them a great deal.‎ One of their obligation is to give their children a personal value. A child, who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy or constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters or cousins, will become so unsure, so he/she is afraid of failing and won't try at all. Of course they should be properly corrected when they do something wrong, but it's often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate them and give them chances to try and fail .They must learn to bear failure. When criticisms(批评) are really needed ,they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss .That is the way children learn.‎ ‎ Parents owe their children a set of values to build up their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deeds. A child who sees no laughter and no love at home will have difficulty in laughing and loving.‎ No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.‎ ‎29. According to the author,______.‎ A. parents must support their children even after they married B. parents needn't feel guilty if they are unable to send their children to universities ‎ C. parents should give their children a payment on a house D. if parents can't afford the tuition(学费), they should take loans to send their children to go to colleges ‎30. The author mainly talks about in this passage______．‎ A. the duties of the parents B. why parents owe their children something C. the reason why children feel stupid and unworthy D. the best way for parents to teach their children ‎31．According to the author, what should parents do when children make mistakes？‎ A. Let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time.‎ B. Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters.‎ C. Get angry and correct them immediately.‎ D. Tolerate them and tell their children not to make mistakes again.‎ D Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few clear benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that are very often asked.‎ Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as human beings. What drove our ancestors(祖先) to move away from the trees, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species(物种), the better its chance of living on. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is that this genetic makeup tries to expand wherever possible. ‎ Nearly every successful nation has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be recognized and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can reduce its effects. ‎ Exploration also allows minerals and resources to be found. Even if we don’t need them immediately, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be not only physical materials. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even mirrored sunglasses are by-products(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry! ‎ Although many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may save us. Although space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist. ‎ Although Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability(适应能力) of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future. ‎ ‎32. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?‎ A. To express his doubts. B. To introduce points for discussion.‎ C. To compare different ideas. D. To describe the conditions on Earth. ‎ ‎33. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?‎ A. Humans don't like to stay in the same place. B. Humans are likely to fight.‎ C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans are nature-born to do so.‎ ‎34. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?‎ A. Our genetic makeup. B. Resources on the earth.‎ C. The adaptive ability of humans. D. By-products in space exploration. ‎ ‎35. The passage is most likely to appear in a journal about _________.‎ A. sports B. education C. science D. entertainment 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ A foreign language is never easy to learn well. However, most people can learn a second language well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively. ‎ ‎ 36 ‎ ‎ Language learning is cumulative(积累): you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours every day if you want a good mark.‎ Distribute(分配)your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day ‎ Study a different task each time: 37 , etc. Get an overview during half an hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing conversations, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar…About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation(背诵) or practice.‎ Take part in every class --- even if you aren’t well prepared ‎ 38 Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading the language.‎ Make yourself comfortable in the classroom ‎ Get to know your classmates, so you’ll feel you’re among friends. 39 For example: you explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.‎ Learn grammar if you don’t already know it Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.‎ Practice for tests by doing what you’ll have to do on the test If the test will require you to write, then study by writing--including spelling and accents. 40 Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation.‎ Develop a good attitude Have a clear personal reason for taking the class.

Some people say this is practical while others think easy access to them creates problems. The following is the result after discussion.‎ Some students think that the advantages overweigh the disadvantages. First, shops on campus means convenience in buying daily necessities, which is actually an important part of their colorful campus life. Besides, this can guarantee their safety when doing shopping , for they don't need to go out of the school any more. So the number of the students who go out to buy snacks is decreasing. This contributes to the safety and good order on campus.‎ However, other students hold a different opinion. They argue that the shops affect their study and rest time, making it difficult for them to concentrate on learning. Moreover, students will spend much more time and money on junk food. ‎ From my point of view, no shops should be operated on campus for the health of the students and the good order of the school. ‎ ‎　　‎
