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 pany must take lifelong responsibility for its employees，it may suffer from a mercial 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(养老金)Furthermore，some institutions should be created for senior citizens，which can help provide a fortable 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(选择)have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore，it is reasonable to expect that some bination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.21What is the passage mainly about?AThe problems faced by the old in society.BWhy we should take responsibility for the old.CHow we can improve the lives of the old.DWhere the old can go to get their pensions.22According to the passage，how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?ASet aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.BIncrease savings levels of people during their working years.CIncrease the discounts for food and transport for the old.DMake available pensions for those who have retired.23The underlined word “viable” most probably means“_”Aimpossible Bpractical Cactual Dsuccessful24What can be concluded from the passage?ATaking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.BEmployers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.CBeing independent should be the goal of most old people.DThere is no single solution to the problems of the old.25What is the writers main purpose in writing this article?ATo point out the need for government support for old people.BTo make general readers aware of the problems of retired peopleCTo discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.DTo instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.BMy first student Marie was a 44yearold single mother of three.In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take.When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it.She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldnt always remember what she needed.Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list.Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标签), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Maries selfconfidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies.She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket.After this successful trip, she reported how selfconfident she felt.At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading.She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories.When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off.As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well.I found that helping Marie to build her selfconfidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others.In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.26What did the author do last summer?AShe worked in the supermarket.BShe helped someone to learn to read.CShe gave single mothers the help they needed.DShe went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.27Why didnt Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?ABecause she liked to walk to the supermarket.BBecause she lived far away from the bus stop.CBecause she couldnt afford the bus ticket.DBecause she couldnt find the right bus.28How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?AShe knew where the goods were in the supermarket.BShe asked others to take her to the right place.CShe managed to find the goods by their looks.DShe remembered the names of the goods.29Which of the following statements is true about Marie?AMarie could do things she had not been able to do before.BMarie was able to read stories with the help of her son.CMarie decided to continue her studies in school.DMarie paid for her own lessons.30. What do you think of the author of this passage? AHopeful BHelpful CClever DLuckyIV. 根基短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。（51=5分）Most drinks stating that they are fruitflavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food mission. Shoppers need to check the labels (标签) before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be nonexistent, said Food mission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. Food production is highly petitive. _31_ It will increase profits, and consumers wont always realize they are being tricked. Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables,or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberryflavored products sold in stores. _32_ Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar. _33_ Lets take jam as an example. Some strawberryflavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all. _34_ Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is misleading. _35_ Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread, Tokelove said. Its time to take measures to protect the consumers rights. A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.C. They found that about 60 percent of them didnt contain any fruit at all.D. If panies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.G. The Food mission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging. V完形填空 （201=20分）Lauren Singer has produced almost no waste in the past two years.
