The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.University tuition fees(学费) are currently capped at 3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 percent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average 31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than 10,000. Average debts for graduates are 12,363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said, “The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.”Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.56. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students payback ability has become a major issue.57. The phrase “to raise the ceiling” in paragraph 2 probably means “_”.A. to raise the students loansB. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuitionD. to life the school building roofs58. According to Stephen Moir, students _.A. are too young to be exposed to financial issuesB. should learn to manage their finances wellC. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance59. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters well.B. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a required course at college.D. Young people should become responsible adults.BWhen I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. Ive lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldnt let that happen.Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.Mr. Clark was selected as Disneys 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “Youre all going.”On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didnt want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages (孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. Its now my dream to one day start a group of womens clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.60. Without Mr. Clark, the writer .A. might have been put into prisonB. might not have won the prizeC. might have joined a womens clubD. might not have moved to Atlanta61. How many students names were finally drawn out of a hat by Mr. Clark?A. NoneB. ThreeC. Fifty-five.D. All.62. In the passage, the writer intends to tell us that .A. Mr. Clark went to South Africa because he liked travelingB. Mr. Clark helped to set up a group of womens clubsC. a good teacher can help raise his or her students scoresD. a good teacher has a good influence on his or her studentsCTechnology is the application of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animal-breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via medical technology.Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources we may well find technological substitutes for many of them through our research programs.Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living63. What is the best title for the passage?A. The definition of technologyB. Modern technologyC. The application of technologyD. The development of technology64. From the passage, we can infer that this article is probably _.A.taken from a learned journalB. a part of the introduction to American business C.followed by the passage talking about factors of productionD. Both B and C65. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. Modern technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living.B. The three major factors of production-land, labor and capital are all influenced by technology.C. Technology is the response to our needs.D. The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology.66. According to the passage, people can live a long life with the help of _.A. higher quality of life B. medical technologyC. modern farming machinery D. technological substituteDThe world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but well have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawis harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether.Second, the US and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The US government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol(乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods - three crops, grasses and wood products - but theres no case for the government to pay to put the worlds dinner into the gas tank.Third, we urgently need to weather-proof the worlds crops as soon and effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond - which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather - can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.67. An international fund based on the Malawi model would _.A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per yearB. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a yearC. decrease the food prices as well as the energy pricesD. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds68. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that _.A. it is not wise to change food crops into gasB. it is misleading to put three crops into the gas tankC. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any wayD. biofuels should be developed on a large scale69. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry weather.B. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help poor regions.C. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.D. It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not.70. In the passage, the author calls on us to _.A. slow down but not to stop economic growthB. develop tree crops, grasses and wood productsC. achieve economic growth and political stabilityD. act now so as to relieve the global food shortage第II卷（两大题，共35分) 第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空1个单词。Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities(大都市) like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside to take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her.This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that y
