magazinebchildren are being indirectly affected by the impact of the recession (经济衰退) on their parents, the childrens society warns. the chief executive of the childrens society, bob reitemeier, said that children were “on the front of recession”. he said the recession made it even more important to try to end child poverty. the answers suggest children from poorer backgrounds are more likely to be affected, but over a third of children across all backgrounds said they were aware that the recession was worrying their parents. fifteen-year-old patricia said her family felt the impact of the recession on their everyday budget. “we have to save up our money and do not spend it so much on unnecessary things,” she said. those questioned appeared to have great awareness of the economic crisis, which, unsurprisingly, was higher among the older children. but around 15% said they hadnt been affected by it. recent figures showed that in 2007 there were 850,000 young people with no particular occupation. an official from the government said it was so “disappointing” that some young people were concerned about the economy. parents are clearly best placed to talk to their children about their worries, but schools also play an important role in teaching young people the skills they need to become healthy, happy and confident individuals.24.which of the following is true? a. children from poorer areas are less likely to be affected. b. it is more important to try to end child poverty in the recession.c. all the children questioned are worried about the economy.d. that some young people are worrying about the economy is “good news”.25.what does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 5? a. the impact of the recession. b. the poorer background.c. everyday budget. d. the government.26. whats the main idea of the passage? a. many children are concerned about the recession. b. children are being directly affected by the recession. c. the recession influenced children indirectly. d. schools play an important role in teaching young people how to become healthy, happy and confident individuals. 27. which of the following can be inferred from the passage ? a. the writer is very disappointed that so many people are out of job. b. families and teachers should teach children the value of budgeting c. children are not supposed to know too much about the impact of the recession d. children with good personalities deal with the impact of recession better.ca recent study suggests that teens relationship with parents, friends and teachers may have a lot to do with why they dont get a good nights sleep.david maume, a sociologist and sleep researcher, analyzed federal health data, which interviewed 974 teenagers when they were 12, and then again at 15. he found that family dynamics (动态) have much to do with how well kids sleep. teens, who had warm relations with their parents and felt like they could talk to them or their parents were supportive of them, tended to sleep better. however, families that were going through a divorce or a remarriage tended to affect teens sleep. and problems at school also affected teens sleep. feeling safe at school and having good relations with teachers tended to promote better sleep. as did good relationships with friends. kids who took part in sports or other positive social activities or shared similar academic goals with their friends were also more likely to get a good nights sleep. these add up to what makes lots of sense: a general feeling of well-being helps teens sleep. if were happy and contented, were much more likely to sleep better than if were sad and anxious.now, of course, teens can hardly resist being drawn to their computers and social networking. maume also found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, kids slept better. its a finding that seems obvious, but parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers.clearly, teenagers arent getting 9 to 10 hours a night, which puts them at risk for all the consequences of lack of sleep, including poor academic performance, colds and stress. 28. what is the passage mainly about?a. teens sleep is linked to their relationship with people around them.b. lack of adequate sleep puts teens at risk of many bad consequences.c. modern technology has something to do with teens sleep problems.d. it is necessary for teens to join in sports and positive social activities.29. according to maumes analysis, who will probably have a poor nights sleep?a. teens who feel like talking with their parents.b. teens who have friends sharing their dreams.c. teens who feel contented about themselves.d. teens who lack a sense of security at school.30. para 5 functions as . a. a comparison b. an introductionc. a conclusion d. an addition 31. parents are supposed to when their kids are growing up. a. continue their broken marriageb. allow children to decide when to sleepc. limit teens using new technologyd. force teens to have 10 hours sleep dailydit had been a long time since i had been to jacksonville, florida.i had driven to town

after walking about a block i saw an open shoe store.i walked inside and asked if i could use their telephone book.unable to find a listing for the barber college, i picked out the number of a local beauty salon, hoping they might tell me if the barber college was still in business.the number was busy, so i decided to wait and try again in a few minutes.as the salesman and i stood talking the front door opened and a young man about twenty came into the store pushing himself in a wheelchair.“i need a new pair of shoes,” said the customer.as he turned the corner, there was a blanket across his lap.i was shocked to see that the young man had no legs.“a gift for a friend?” i asked the boy.“no,” he replied.they are for me,” he continued, with a smile on his face.i just smiled back and watched to see what would happen next.“what type of shoe would you like?” asked the clerk.“how about a pair of cowboy boots?”the man pointed to the back wall where three or four pairs of boots were

parents used to buy me a new pair of shoes every year.that was such a wonderful feeling.something i have never forgotten.the smell of the leather and the pride i felt when i walked around the store showing off my new shoes.”the salesman came walking down the aisle with a large box.he sat it down on the floor, took out one boot and handed it to the young man.the boy closed his eyes.he placed the boot against his nose, and drew in a large breath.i did not know what to say as tears began to fall on the young mans cheeks.“what type of accident did you have?” i asked him.“farm accident,” he said, as he tried to clear his voice.“do you want the cowboy boots?” the salesman asked him. “oh, yes!” he answered. “i see buying a new pair of shoes still gives you that good feeling you talked about,” i told the young man, as i smiled. “yes it does.” he said “and i may have someone, and his feet to share it with some day.”32. why did the young man want to buy a new pair of shoes?a. because he bought a pair every year. b. because he wanted to send a new pair to a friend.c. because he hoped to keep it for memory. d. because he enjoyed the feeling of possessing a new pair.33. the author writes about

time to discuss some great english language literature to take on a long train journey. before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your english reading comprehension level. if youre at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a childrens book or reading a book that youve read in chinese translation. 37 if youre at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. for advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners （booker, nobel, pulitzer） are good options. 38 when i pick up a new book i like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, i would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses . generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if i get involved in the story. another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend whos interested in reading the same book. you can make goals that you both want to achieve. 39 some quick recommendations: harry potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the narnia series; anything by us writer michael crichton or british writer agatha christie; and if you like horror, us writer stephen king is always unusual and fun. 40 happy reading!a. if you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful b. the most important thing is to pick a book that youre really interested in.c. you may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.d. you should just find a topic or author that youre interested in, and the rest will go from there.e. you can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by sms or e-mail.f. instead, theyre a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.g. this will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since youre already familiar with the story.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 (共20小题, 每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项i was
