met Carl on a bus.Sitting down，I began to read Jack Kerouacs On the Road.Next to me was an old man in a grey suit.He asked me if Id read any other book like the one I was holding.When I told him I had，he seemed to become interested.To tell the truth，so did I，although I am usually impatient with the elderly.He introduced himself as Carl.He told me about how he used to play the trumpet(喇叭) back in the fifties in jazz clubs.He asked me if I liked jazz.I told him that I liked punk music*，which reached its peak in the 1970s.I was shocked when he just smiled and nodded.He said，“You remind me of myself when I was your age，a young man in his twenties.I remember how my parents couldnt understand why I enjoyed listening to that awful noiseI guess your parents say the same thing，dont they？”Now it was my turn to smile.Later，Carl and I talked about a lot of different things.The more we talked，the more amazed I became at how much the two of us really had in common.I havent seen him since then，but the thought of our connection that day rarely(很少) leaves my mind.He really made me think about how much we can learn from each other，regardless of age，race or religion.If we all took the time to attempt to understand each other，I think that the world would be a much better place that we could share together.*Note：Punk music is a type of loud and aggressive rock music popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s.1How did the author react when the old man started a conversation?AHe showed no interest at first.BHe got frustrated with the old man.CHe enjoyed talking with the old man.DHe was impatient with the old man.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“When I told him I had，he seemed to become interested.To tell the truth，so did I，although I am usually impatient with the elderly.”可知，尽管平常作者不愿和老人交谈，但是在车上当老人询问他读过的书籍的时候，作者很感兴趣地与Carl交流，由此可知，他喜欢和Carl交谈。答案：C2The author was shocked by Carls smile because _.ACarl liked punk music at such an old ageBCarl didnt show dislike of punk music CCarls reaction was similar to his parentsDCarl had much knowledge about punk music解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“I remember how my parents couldnt understand why I enjoyed listening to that awful noise”可以推断，当作者说自己喜欢punk音乐时，老人对他的喜好表示理解，而不是反感，因此作者为他的这种态度感到吃惊。答案：B3What kind of person is Carl?AHe is stubborn and serious.BHe is enthusiastic but proud.CHe is knowledgeable but selfish.DHe is considerate and friendly.解析：总结概括题。Carl对作者听punk music表示理解，而且友好地与作者谈了很多话题，故选D。答案：D4After talking with Carl，the author realized that _.Ayoung people could actually learn more from the oldBit was not so difficult to communicate with old peopleCpeople should try to understand and learn from each otherDmusic could be a bridge that connected different generations解析：主旨推断题。根据此次经历，作者意识到人与人之间应该互相理解对方，互相学习。答案：C山东、天津专用Today more than 75 percent of American families have at least one credit card，which makes it possible to rent cars，shop on the Internet，and buy plane tickets.“You need a credit card，”says Terry Savage，the syndicated Chicago SunTimes financial columnist.What you dont need，she adds，is the longterm debt.Banks make more interest when people pay over time；thats why minimum payments on credit cards have shrunk (收缩)to as low as one percent of the total balance.With payments that small，it sounds so easy.But wait：The average college student owes almost $2,800 on plastic，and that doesnt include student loans.If she pays $50 a month，including an 18 percent interest rate，it will take her more than ten years to pay off the credit cardat a total cost of $6,154.Financial experts agree that personal responsibility could prevent most debt problems；dont spend it，and you wont have to pay it back.But they still put some of the blame on banks，which attract new customers with low rates，then increase the interest if theyre late on just one payment.Many consumers are unaware that banks can raise your rate if youre late paying a completely unrelated bill，such as your mortgage(抵押)Banks argue that late payments indicate credit risk，justifying higher rates.But in recent years banks have redefined whats riskyoften raising rates and charging punishment if a payment is late by even a few minutes.According to Robert Manning，a noted industry expert，late fees rose from $1.7 billion in 1996 to $7.7 billion in 2003.Officials at the American Bankers Association，the trade group representing the credit card industry，say this ：“Lenders use penalty(处罚)fees as a riskmanagement tool against customers who mishandle their finances.”How much debt is okay？Savage recommends that your mortgage payment plus property tax and home insurance total no more than 40 percent of your takehome pay；Ramsey says no more than 25 percent.Total debt，though，should never be more than half your takehome pay.As for credit card debt，most experts agree that any is too much.“If you can only make the minimum payment on your credit cards，”says Savage，“thats when you know that debt has become your lifestyle.”Struggling to keep up with those payments，nearly 9 million Americans seek debt counseling every year .Sadly，many will wind up deeper in debtvictims of overpriced plans that promise to “Pay Down Your Debt！”1Why do most of the American families have at least one credit card?ABecause it is convenient for them to rent cars，shop on the Internet，and buy plane tickets.BBecause they have no pocket money.CBecause most of the American families have no cash.DBecause it is fashionable to own a credit card in America.解析：细节理解题。根据第一句中的“which makes it possible to rent cars，shop on the Internet，and but plane tickets”可以得出答案。答案：A2From this passage we can infer that in order to finish their college courses some American college students_.Alive on their parentsBborrow money from the bankChave debt problems all their livesDlive a hard life解析：推理判断题。根据第三段内容可以推出答案。答案：B3According to financial experts，the way to prevent debt problems is that you_.Acan borrow money from your friends and relativesBcant lend others moneyCcant borrow money from the bankDshouldnt be late paying a completely unrelated bill解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句话可以得出答案。答案：C4Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?ABanks will raise rates and charge punishment if a payment is late by even a few minutes.BIts wrong for the borrowers to put some of the blame on banks when they have debt problems.CBanks will make less interest when people pay over time.DIf you have a credit card，you can prevent debt problems forever.解析：细节理解题。从文章第五段的第二句话可以得出答案。答案：A5If your total debt is more than half your takehome pay，_.Ayoull enjoy your life betterByou have to work at the weekendCthere is no choice but to pay it back in timeDyour life will be much influenced解析：推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段的最后一句“Total debt，though，should never be more than half your takehome pay.”可以推出答案。答案：D.任务型阅读(陕西专用)AWho does freelancing?BThe advantages and disadvantages of freelanceCThe definition of freelanceDKey to freelance successEWhat is freelancing really like?FThe best way to develop a career1Freelance is a word that goes back to medieval times when it was used to describe soldiers who sold their skills to those prepared to pay their market rate.Today its an increasingly common way of working for people in a range of occupations and appeals to many who feel constrained by corporate culture.2What you gain is freedom of movement，what you can lose is a sense of belonging.You can end up feeling isolated from normal support networks，because suddenly you are responsible for your own welfare，training，safety，career development，equipment，professional updating and a thousand other things，it is easy to remain unaware of these things in the relatively coss
