For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage 1Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the wash up. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.At school the children are taught to add up and subtract（减法） but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft（透支） as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”The UK has been in the worst financial recession（衰退）for generations. It does seem odd that unless parents step in young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents. 11The passage is mainly about .Ahow to manage school lessons Bhow to deal with the financial crisisCteaching young people about money Dteaching students how to study effectively12It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that .A. the author complains about the school educationB. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtractC. students have been taught to manage their financesD. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out13The website and the consumer campaigner joined to .A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket moneyB. promote the connection of schools and familiesC. ask the government to dismiss the parliamentD. appeal for the curriculum of financial education14According to Pfeg, .A. it is easy to keep good habits longB. teenagers spend their money as plannedC. parents are willing to pay the debt for their kidsD. it will be in trouble if the teenagers are left alone15A poll is mentioned to .A. stress the necessity of the curriculum reform B. show the seriousness of the financial recessionC. make the readers aware of burden of the parentsD. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposalPassage 2What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colors do influence our moods there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.16You would rather follow than lead means .A. you dont like to follow othersB. you would be a member rather than a leaderC. you would be afraid of following othersD. you would like to be a leader rather than a follower17If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer .A. red to yellow B. blue to orangeC. red to grey D. blue to yellow18They tell us, among other facts, that we dont choose our favorite colors as we grow up. Among other facts means .A. besides other facts B. in regard to other factsC. not considering other facts D. according to other facts19Which of the following is fact? A. Peoples preference of one color to another is instinct.B. Peoples preference of one color to another is acquired as they grow up.C. More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were born.D. Colors have little influence on our moods.20Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to others because of .A. its shape B. its structureC. its color D. its building materialPart III.

He finished his tea, went inside, found a book, then turned on the porch light on his way back out. After sitting down again, he looked at the book. It was old, the cover was torn, and the pages were stained with mud and water. It was Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, and he had carried it with him throughout the war. He let the book open randomly and read the words in front of him.He smiled to himself. For some reason, Whitman always reminded him of his happy childhood. He was glad he had come back. Though he had been away for fourteen years, this was home and he knew a lot of people here, most of them from his youth. It wasnt surprising. Like so many southern towns, the people who lived here never changed, they just grew a bit older. 他喝完了茶，走了进去，发现了一本书，然后在回来的路上打开了门廊的灯。重新坐下来之后，他看着这本书。这本书很旧，封皮有破损，书页上染上了水渍和泥垢。这是沃尔特怀特曼的草片叶，他在整个战争中都带着这本书。他随机打开这本书然后阅读在他面前的文字。 他对自己微笑。因为某些原因，怀特曼总是让他想起了他快乐的童年。他很高兴他回来了，虽然他已经离开十四年了，这是家，他知道这里的很多人，他们中的大多数都是幼年时的，这并不奇怪。像南部的诸多城镇，住在这里的人从来没有改变，他们只是越来越老了一点Part IV.
