But when it es to learning about high-technology devices, the opposite can often be true. That is what is happening through a program in the eastern American city of Columbia, Maryland. The 50 Plus Center offers free technology classes to adults aged 50 and over. The teachers are often teenagers and even younger children. Myra Stafford is 73 years old. She signed up for the workshop to learn how to use her iPod. Ms Stafford says she is learning quickly about the device, and she enjoys learning from younger people. Eleven-year-old Zhion Perkins teaches Ms Stafford. He says that patience is very important when working with older adults. “You have to be really patient, because some of them might not know as well as others,” he says. Meridy McCague is the director of the 50 Plus Center. She says the classes are necessary for seniors to connect with the world around them, and teaching senior citizens about technology can be helpful for the economy. “There is a huge growing population over 60-thats just expanding, which offers a good opportunity to buy online, or to research products online. About a third of the Internet users in general are over 50. As seniors get more excited about using the technology, theyre going into the marketplace and buying it . So thats a boom for economy right there,” she says. Madison Lam is a 17-year-old teacher for the technology workshop. She says she also learns a lot from helping seniors. “I think Ive learned a lot on how to connect with people and work with them, because Im usually a shy person and Im not good at connecting with others besides my family and friends. So Ive learned to be more outgoing.”21.Why did Myra Stafford go to the 50 Plus Center ?A. To buy an iPad. B.To have a physical examination.C. To make friends with young people. D. To seek help with some technical problems.22.In the fourth paragraph, Meridy expresses the view that _.A. Teaching seniors technology helps the economyB. People have to be careful when buying online.C. America is entering the aging society quicklyD. Its unwise for older people to do online shopping23. What does Madison Lam think of her experience at the 50 Plus Center ?A. Boring B. Rewarding C. Painful D. InspiringBWhether you are young or young at heart, it is never too late to change, or take in some new and better practices into your daily life. Here are some wise lessons that I wish I knew when I was younger.I used to be worried about what others thought of me. Finally, I changed. Remember that if youre wasting too much time looking for respect from others, then you will not have time to finish all you desire. Everyone has an opinion, but in fact others opinions about you are based more on their history and perceptions( 观念) than anything youre actually doing. So depend on your own assessment(评估) of you rather than others. Enjoy every moment of today. Dont wait to do or enjoy anything. Dont tell yourself you will do it tomorrow. If it is important to you, then do it today. Pay attention to what is happening now, the task at hand and all the choices you make today, big and small. Our future is set by what we decide and do today. What happened yesterday is over. You can not change it. So let it go. Dont waste your energy considering anger or unhappiness. It only stops you from moving forward in life. Look for the good in people. Celebrate the happy moments, big and small. Search for the chances for growth. Give helpful encouragement rather than unwanted criticism. Be helpful whenever possible. In a word, life is serious but you can still be delighted and hopeful. Otherwise, whats the point ?24.We shouldnt worry too much about what others think of us because _.A. Our own assessment is enoughB. Their opinions about us may be wrongC. We are improving ourselves every dayD. We dont always need other peoples help25.What should we do in the authors opinion ?A. Never forget our hard times.B. Change our lifestyles regularly.C. Never look for respect from others.D. Always plete important work in time.26. How should we deal with other people according to the author ?A. Try to help them. B. Never assess them.C. Show thanks to them. D. Make friends with them.27. Whom is the test most probably written by ?A. A clever child. B. A middle school student.C. An expert on human relationships .D. An old man with rich experience of life. C The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch. About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US last October. Its been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3500 and bee a menace to local people in Florida. Months ago, the Swiss government allowed locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow(鬣羚), a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew. However, these stories dont always mean that animal protection stops became of human interests, especially when it is related with economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people. “There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldnt push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain.”28. Last October, Florida held its first bear hunt in about _.A. five years B,ten years C. fifteen years D. twenty years29.What does the underlined word “menace” in the second paragraph mean ?A. Threat. B.Chance . C.Bargain. D.Treasure.30.What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisens story ?A. Protecting animals needs hard work.B. Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.C. Zhou had a good relationship with local people.D. Protecting animals can bring economic development.31.Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with ?A. Human development should be considered first.B. We should pay more attention to animal protection.C. We should consider both the environment and human interests.D. Its difficult to find proper ways to solve environment problems.D Driving to a friend house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friends rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people-myself included-usually missed sights like this because we spent most of our lives indoors.My friend has also seen it . He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night and went indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between the high mountains and me lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I had ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply. Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiberglass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters, ovens, air conditioners, cars and puters.Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables, read books and walk in the mountains . And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may bee an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons . But I will be able to walk outside on a silent night and be touched by the moon.”32.Why did the author feel sorry for himself ?A. There was too much pollution.B. He failed to see the full moon in the city.C. He didnt adapt to modern inventions.D. There were too many accidents on the road.33.What impressed the author most in the mountainous jungle of northern India ?A. No modern equipment. B. plete silence.C. The nice moon. D. The high mountain.34.Modern things are mentioned in the fourth paragraph mainly to _.A. show that the author likes city life very muchB. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern lifeC. explain that people have fewer chances to enjoy nature D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them35. What is the best title for the text ?A. Touched by the Moon B. The pleasures of Modern LifeC . A Bottomless Well of Silence D. Break Away From Modern Life. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）注：请将36-40题答案填图在答题卡71-75处。 Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. 36 Some are shy in real life but are confident to municate with others online, others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues or problems at home. Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can cause problems, such as bullying (恃强凌弱) or arguments. 37 But there are also a few people who use the Internet for illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers. 38 Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and the chat rooms your children visit.
