aid work as for her acting.born in belgium in 1929, audrey s father was british and her mother was dutch.audrey was sent to live at a british school for part of her childhood. during world war ii , she lived and studied in the netherlands. her mother thought it would be safe from german attacks. audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to london after the war. but she realized she wasn t going to be a ballerina. so she began taking acting parts in stage shows. later she began to get small parts in movies.but it was audrey hepburn s move to america that brought her true fame. in 1951 she played the character “gigi” in the broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. two years later, roman holiday made her a star at the age of 24.audrey made more than 25 movies. among her most popular roles was holly golightly in breakfast at tiffanys in 1961. three years later she played eliza doolittle in my fair lady.she was married two times and had one son by each husband. in 1989, the un children s fund named audrey a goodwill ambassador. she travelled all over the world in support of unicef projects. the un agency said she was a tireless worker. she often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for unicef projects.audrey hepburn often said her loyalty to unicef was the result of her experiences as a child during world war . she said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. she was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.41in paragraph 1, “her aid work” means _.a. winning an academy award as best actressb. taking acting parts in stage showsc. making moviesd. acting as a goodwill ambassador for unicef42the reason why audrey lived and studied in the netherlands was that _.a. she wanted to be a ballerina b. her parents were from britainc. the education there was excellent d. it was safe there 43we can infer from the passage that _.a. audrey s parents lived in germany during world war b. audrey lived in america in the 1950sc. audrey was made to give up dancingd. the character “gigi” in the broadway play was her most popular role44_is not mentioned in the passage about audrey hepburn. gexes were never recovered. a. marriage b. identity c. contribution d. religionbparents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). but last summer, joanna and henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “the door to his room is always shut. ” joanns noted. tina and mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “she used to cuddle up (蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk,” said mark. “now we joke that she does this only when she wants something, sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. the problem is figuring out which time is which. ”before age 11, children like to tell their parents whats on their minds. “in fact, parents are first on the list. ” said michael riera, author of uncommon sense for parents with teenagers. “this completely changes during the teen years. ” riera explained. “they talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last. ”parents who know whats going on in their teenagers lives are in the best position to help them. to break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. and they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. 45. “the door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son . a. is always busy with his studies b. doesnt want to be disturbedc. keeps himself away from his parents d. begins to dislike his parents46. what troubles tina and mark most is that . a. their daughter isnt as lovely as beforeb. they cant read their daughters mind exactlyc. they dont know what to say to their daughterd. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help47. which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph ?a. teenagers talk a lot with their friends. b. teenagers do not want to understand their parents. c. teenagers do not talk much with their parents. d. teenagers talk little about their own lives. 48. what can be learned from the passage?a. parents are unhappy with their growing children. b. parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. c. parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. d. parents should try to understand their teenagers. canother 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 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（选择）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.49. what is the passage mainly about?a. the problems faced by the old in society.b. why we should take responsibility for the old.c. how we can improve the lives of the old.d. where the old can go to get their pensions.50. 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.51. 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. becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.d. there is no single solution to the problems of the old.52. what is the writers main purpose in writing this article?a. to point out the need for government support for old people.b. to make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.c. to discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.d. to instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.dinternational studies (ba)key features recognizes the “global community”（国际社会） has close connections with practical research much of the

functioning normally. their ability to withstand (抵挡) almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. theyre known as the black box.when planes fall from the sky, as a yemeni airliner did on its way to comoros islands in the india ocean june 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. so when a french submarine (潜水艇) detected the devices homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.in 1958, australian scientist david warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. that was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all u.s. commercial flights by 1960. early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane the area least subject to impact from its original position in the landing wells . the same year, the federal aviation authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations,and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000. when submerged, theyre also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. experts believe the boxes from air france flight 447, which crashed near brazil on june 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say theyre still likely to turn up. in the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the
