The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028.Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younger workers in their thirties will be able to retire. Mr Willetts，who is accompanying David Cameron in India，urged workers older than 60 to give further education serious consideration.“There is certainly a pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled，”he said.“Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay up to date with knowledge and skills you will be more employable.”Mr Willetts said a university course had“wider”benefits，making people more likely to lead healthy lives.“Education is such a good thing that it is not reserved for only younger people，”he said.“There will be people of all ages who will want to study.There is great value in lifelong learning.”Under previous rules，students in England would get a loan to cover tuition fees only if they were younger than 54.Latest figures showed that only 1,940 undergraduates starting courses last year were older than 60，out of a total of 552,240 students in Britain.Some 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60，according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.1We can learn from Paragraphs 1&2 that older workersAshould be retrained after retirementBhave no chance to get a loan to cover tuition feesCmay hold back the countrys future economic successDare encouraged to go back to university and retrain2According to the passage，a person who is over_years old can draw a pension in 2028 in Britain. A54 B60 C65 D673What does Mr Willetts think of education?AThere is no need for workers older than 60 to receive further education.BUniversity courses have nothing to do with a healthy life.CEducation is only provided for younger people.DPeople of all ages can receive different education.4What does the author mainly imply in the last paragraph?AThe number of students in Britain is large.BThe number of students aged over 60 years old is small.CThe elderly dont like the courses for undergraduates.DThe elderly refuse to receive education.体裁：说明文话题：城市交通词数：322难度：建议用时：6分钟Taxi，the underground，driving.in London these means of transport are expensive.As a student on a budget，I couldnt afford the 30 pounds ( around 300 yuan) fare for a taxi.Even a bus was one pound and 20 pence ( about 12 yuan) for a single ticket.I didnt need to travel this way anyway.I had Mabelmy London bike.When I moved to Beijing，like every foreigner，I was delighted to discover I could take a cab for cheaper than a single journey on the subway.But something was wrong.I missed Mabel.That was when I met Mandarin Mabel also known as Mandy，my Beijing bike.In many ways，Beijing is made for：It is a flat，easy land compared with hilly London.The cycling citys north/south/east/west square structure is also easier to travel than Londons unplanned，twisting streets.However，Beijing comes completely with its own dangers.The rules of the road are flexible.Bikes，cars，passers by all float up and down ways in both directions.Compared with Londons terrible cycle paths，in Beijing，every road has huge，wide cycle ways.But cars，taxis and motorbikes see no reason why they shouldnt use the cycle ways as a shortcut，and why they shouldnt announce you to get out of their way when they do.Beijing traffic is more good natured.In London，the road is an active war.People shout，quarrel and beat on each others windows.In Beijing zone，drivers never get actively angry.In fact，often they ignore cyclists.Obviously that means its up to the cyclists to see them.Mandy is a tree Beijing bike.It is nearly broken，it makes loud noises every time you ride on it，and I have had to make several emergency repair stops for it.But cycling round Beijing on a sunny day is a joy.It is just me，Mandy and the city.5What can we conclude from the first paragraph?ABicycles are the most popular means of transport in London.BTo save money，the author used travel around by bus in London.CThe expense of public transport makes some people want to buy a bike.DThe author didnt travel around London because of lacking a bike.6What does the author think of cycling around Beijing?AThe citys twisting streets make it hard for the rider to find the way.BCars，taxis and motorbikes on the cycle lane pose a threat to cyclists.CWith the flat land and wide cycle lanes，its safer to cycle in Beijing than in London.DCycling in Beijing is safe because of its flexible rules.7What can we infer from the article?AIn the authors view，Beijing drivers drive more safely.BIn London，cars，taxis and motorbikes are allowed to use the cycle paths.CPeople in London follow the traffic rules more closely than those in Beijing.DMandy breaks down so easily that it makes the author miss her London bike Mabel.8The reason why drivers in Beijing seldom get angry is that _.Athe cycle ways are flatBthey care little about cyclistsCthey can even drive on the cycle waysDpeople in Beijing dont often ride bikes.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.An unpunctual man，on the other hand，never does what he has to do at the right time._1_Theres a proverb which says，“Time flies never to be recalled.”This is true._2_ The unpunctual man is for ever wasting his most valuable possessions as well as others.The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters，or return calls or keep appointments._3_ He knows that he can get through his huge amount of work only if he faithfully keeps every appointment and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended to._4_ If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time，he keeps all the other guests waiting for him.Usually this will be regarded as rude both to the host and the other guests.Unpunctuality，moreover，is very harmful when it comes to ones duty.Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed
