DBlack Box VR. BA serious problem for todays 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.24. What is the writers 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.25. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Impossible. B. Practical. C. Useful. D. Successful.26. 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.27. 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.CThe New York TimesStephen Hawking, the brightest star in the firmament（天空）of science, whose insights shaped modern cosmology（宇宙论）and inspired global audiences in the millions, has died aged 76. His family released a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning confirming his death at his home in Cambridge. Hawkings children, Lucy, Robert and Tim said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.” “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years to come. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world.”When Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuronal （神经元的）disease in 1963 at the age of 21, doctors expected him to live for only two more years. But Hawking had a form of the disease that progressed more slowly than usual. He survived for more than half a century and long enough for his disability to define him. His popularity would surely have been diminished without it. Those who live in the shadow of death are often those who live most.For Hawking, the early diagnosis of his terminal disease, and witnessing the death from leukaemia of a boy who he knew in hospital, ignited（点燃）a fresh sense of pursue. “Although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life in the present more than before. I began to make progress with my research,” he once said. Embarking (着手) on his career in earnest, he declared: “My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.”28. The following statements about Hawking is true EXCEPT_. A. Hawking had three kids according to the passage.B. Hawkings intelligence and spirits influenced enormous people all over the world.C. Hawkings disease became worse quickly after being diagnosed.D. Almost all his life was devoted to the exploration of the universe in spite of his severe disease.29. What does the underlined word “diminish” most probably refer to? A. Increase B. DecreaseC. GainD. Disappear30. Which of the following words can be used to describe Hawking? A. Active and knowledgeableB. Optimistic and determinedC. Thoughtful and hardworking D. Diligent and kind31. What was it that inspired Hawking to pursue his dream?A. His courage and persistence with brilliance and humor.B. His motor neuronal disease. C. His insights into modern cosmology.D. His being diagnosed with disease and seeing his friend die of leukaemia.D Sea turtles are one of several species that have temperature-dependent sex determination. The number of female babies increases when nests are made in warmer sands. A recent study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, California State University and Worldwide Fund for Nature Australia examined two genetically distinct populations of green sea turtles living in the Great Barrier Reef. The study found that a group of about 200,000 turtles living in the northern partof the reef was almost entirely female. While the southern population was 65 to 69 percent female, females in the northern group accounted for 99.1 percent of young turtles and 86.8 percent of adults. After combining their results with temperature data, the scientists in charge of the study found that the northern green turtles have been producing mainly females for more than two decades and that the complete feminization(雌性化) of this population is possible in the near future. The temperature at which the turtles will produce male or female babies can be passed on to the turtles children. Most sea turtle populations are now producing offspring(子嗣) above the most suitable temperature, making it clear that climate change poses a serious threat to the survival of these populations. The chief executive of World Wildlife Fund Australia, Dermot OGorman, said this is another sign of the impact of climate change, following recent research that shows that coral bleaching(珊瑚白化) events are occurring far more frequently than in the past. Weve had two years where weve had mass bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef, he told Guardian Australia. Thats a very visible(看得见的) sign of the impact of climate change. But this is a quiet change. We cant see the impact its having on a turtle population until a study like this shows some long-term trends.” The lead author of the paper, Dr Michael Jensen, said the findings represent a major environmental conservation issue. OGorman said more urgent action on climate change is clearly needed, adding that some conservationists have already taken practical measures, such as using shade cloth on turtle nesting beaches to lower the sand temperature, and reducing bycatch in the fishing industry. Shade cloth can be used in certain places, but theres a limit to the scale you can do that, he said. “Now every large male who can reproduce is going to be even more important.”32. According to the research on Great Barrier Reefs green sea turtles, _. A. about 65 to 69 percent of northern turtles are female B. 86.8 percent of southern turtles have grown up to adults C. the feminization of green sea turtles could become worse D. adult green sea turtles can change their sex in warmer places33. Why did OGorman mention coral bleaching? A. To suggest that climate change poses more risks to coral than turtles. B. To compare the living environments of turtles and coral. C. To urge people to take practical measures to fight climate change. D. To stress this discovery about green sea turtles is very valuable.34. Conservationists are taking action to . A. keep the sea turtles nests cool B. stop the illegal fishing of green sea turtles C. expand the size of the green sea turtles nesting places D. build special nests for turtles to produce offspring35. Which would be the best title for the article? A. How climate change affects ocean creatures B. Invisible change caused by global warming exposed C. Necessity of protecting green sea turtles and their habitatD. Global green sea turtle populations in greater danger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 dogs mind is only equal to that of a two-year-old baby. 36 Therefore, they are probably the first to notice any change in the behavior of their masters. Lets do some deep-digging to understand the amazing ability of a dog.They sense your feelings. Isnt it strange? 37 This is true. A study published in the Animal Cognition journal says that dogs are known to come to people who appear sad or depressed. It doesnt matter if the person is their owner or a stranger. They have an ability to sense sadness and are attached to troubled souls. 38 Dogs can easily tell when youre playing with favorites, and if you reward or play more with other pets, your dog might notice it and feel uncomfortable. As they cant say how they feel, they will scratch, yawn or lick their mouths.They smell fear. Lets say youre faced with your worst fear. Would you get scared and run away or just face it? Before choosing how to deal with it, you should remember one thing. 39 Research shows that dogs often sense their masters responses in dangerous situations. If you fear something and choose to back away, chances are that your pet is going to do the same thing.Theyre watching you. We are all raised as respectable individuals who are taught to respect elders, obey the law and help out people in need from time to time. 40 But if you have a dog at home, it is time to be serious about them. Dogs like generous people. So just be careful around your pet; it may judge you on how you behave with others.A. They sense health problems.B. They understand when ignored.C. They know when no ones looking at them.D. You would be setting an example to your pet.E. Every time you feel sad, your dogs just know it.F. But dogs are able to sense everything around them.G. However, not all of us take these three things seriously.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It was a cool October evening.
