every 100 americans are over 65. the aging of the population will affect american society in many ways education, medicine, and business. quietly, the aging of america has made us a very different society one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.a persons age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. the social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as it used to be. it doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. public ideas are changing.many people say, “i am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” no one says “act your age” any more. weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways. 1. it can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in america _.a. has made people feel younger b. has changed peoples social positionc. has changed peoples understanding of age d. has slowed down the countrys social development2. the underlined word “one” refers to _.a. a society b. america c. a place d. population3. “act your age” means people should _.a. be active when they are old b. do the right thing at the right agec. show respect to their parents young or old d. take more physical exercises suitable to their age4. if a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _.a. normal b. wonderfulc. unbelievable d. unreasonable【参考答案及解析】1. c

【2014高考英语广东省中山市华侨中学二模试题】bin my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “bloom (开花) where you are planted.” it reminds me of dorothy. i got to know dorothy in the early 1980s, when i was teaching early childhood development through a program with union college in barbourville, kentucky. the job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.dorothy taught in a school in harlan county, kentucky, appalachian mountain area. to get to her school from the town of harlan, i followed a road winding around the mountain. in the eight-mile journey, i crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, i found it depressing. the poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.from the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. upon arriving at dorothys classroom, i was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. the children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). in case you dont know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. her enthusiasm never cooled down. when it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her child development associate certification, dorothy was ready. she came to the assessment and passed in all areas. afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her ph. d. degree. after the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. she said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. 31. “early childhood development” in paragraph 1 refers to _. a. a program directed by dorothyb. a course given by the author c. an activity held by the studentsd. an organization sponsored by union college32. in the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing _. a. the long trackb. the same train c. the poor housesd. the winding road33. upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by _. a. a warm welcomeb. the sight of poke greens c. dorothys latest projectsd. a big dinner made for her34. what can we know about dorothy from the last paragraph? a. she was invited to a celebration at a restaurant. b. she got a pen as a gift from the author. c. she passed the required assessment. d. she received her ph. d. degree.35. what does the author mainly intend to tell us? a. whatever you do, you must do it carefully. b. whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment. c. however poor you are, you have the right to education, d. wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.【参考答案】31-35. bcacd 【浙江省宁波市2014高考英语十校联考试题】 单项填空（共20小题；每小题05分，满分1 0分）
