population in Africa as in other parts of the world is getting older Currently there are 36 million people on the continent 65 years and above which is 3 6 percent of the population up from 3 3 percent 10 years ago That could rise to 4 5 percent by 2030 and 10 percent by 2050 The African development Bank is raising concerns over the shortage of health insurance and pensions 养老金 The African Development Bank says Aging is highly linked with long term physical and mental disability and a number of long term chronic 慢性的 conditions Africa is not well prepared to care for its aging population right now And it needs to prepare for this fact said Professor Mthuli Ncube the African Development Bank s chief economist African nations spend far less on healthcare than developed nations do about 26per person per year Not so many countries have well developed medical aid plans for the elderly whether they are privately provided plans or indeed government plans If you look at the pension plans you will find the pension industries are not well developed in some of the countries Professor Mthuli Ncube said African governments failed to take action on health insurance and pensions because they were busy with economic reforms Another challenge for Africa is the worsening of informal systems of social protection That is cash and support from both the extended family and community sources The African Development Bank recommends governments help carry out health insurance and pension plans Ncube said African governments didn t have to handle the health insurance burden alone It is not only a must but also an opportunity for private companies to add their bit in this regard he said The report also recommends that African governments consider providing ways of free health services medications and long term health care facilities for the elderly 1 From the first paragraph we know the facts except that A the speed of people aging is becoming quicker B Africa has the largest aging population 第 7 页 共 16 页 C African governments are not well prepared to deal with the aging population D the shortage of health insurance and pensions adds to African governments difficulty in dealing With the aging population 2 Which is not highly linked with the aging according to the passage A Long term physical disability B Long term mental disability C Long term chronic illnesses D Long term shortage of care and love 3 What got in the way of developing health insurance and pensions in Africa A The economic reforms B Too many old people C The shortage of land D The development of the economy 4 How can the aging problem be solved in Africa according to Ncube A African governments should spend as much money on healthcare as developed countries B African people should save enough money to insure their health C African governments should combine with private companies to finish health insurance and pension pains D Private sources should take the main responsibility to help the elderly 5 The article is most likely to be seen A in a story book B in a newspaper C on a TV program 第 8 页 共 16 页 D in a textbook 13 8 分 阅读下面短文 从每小题所给的四个选项中 选出一个最佳答案 Here is a story A man sees a butterfly 蝴蝶 The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis 蛹 Feeling sorry for it the man decides to help He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily Surprisingly enough the butterfly is unable to fly If the butterfly doesn t struggle 挣扎 奋斗 to leave the chrysalis it can t fly The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly Similarly the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly When people are young meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life When we look at successful people we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle One famous businessman who now owns many big supermarkets used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young Another successful man is Dennis His father died when he was only twenty His father s death forced him to mature fast He had to bring up a family of nine people He took up the challenges and overcame them Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges like rock climbing camping volunteer work and so on However just passing exams will not prepare a person for life We must meet and overcome challenges The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow For countries to continue to become successful it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them 1 Dennis s example shows that successful people should A sell clothes from door to door B overcome the difficulties C take up business early D

Continue to Become Successful 14 10 分 What might the future be like Here are some predictions 预言 Returning home during the Spring Festival is difficult for many Chinese people More than 2 billion

it wasn t always like that The American Indians were the first people to chew gum This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land In 1848 a sailor called John Curtis began selling it He was the first person to sell chewing gum The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces It became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew Nowadays other things are added to the gum to make it soft and sweet By 1890 there were hundreds of different chewing gums The most famous name in chewing gum however is probably William Wrigley He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays He also said that chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired Although today many millions of people chew gum not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do Many people think it is dirty The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places 第 12 页 共 16
