In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens Country have been cut in half.But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than 6 an hour.The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percenttwice the national average;for advocates（代言人） for the poor, thats an indication much more needs to be done.“More people are getting jobs, but its not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.“Welfare was a poison.It was a toxin（毒素） that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst.“The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities.Its beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important.”Mr.Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.1.Why dont people enjoy their better lives when they get jobs?A.Because they are used to relying on welfare to make livings.B.Because the cost of living is higher than before.C.Because many families are below average income.D.Because their wages are very low.2.From the passage we know that the reconstruction of is the core of the reform.A.government aids B.work ethicC.welfare funds D.moral awareness3.From the example of the Athens County, we know great efforts should be done for the poor to .A.improve their living standardsB.to help them be employedC.to get them off welfareD.to increase their wage4.From the passage, it can be inferred that the author .A.is completely certain about the success of welfare reformB.thinks that welfare reform has done little good for the poorC.insists welfare reform has increased the governments burdenD.considers welfare reform fundamentally successfulHow to Keep a Relationship Healthy and StrongAre you new to experiencing relationships?

I felt that only when I 1certain things could I finally be happy in my life. Most of the time I felt like a tortoise believing that being slow and 2 would win the race. At other times I would 3 like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous 4 hoping to reach that banner a little faster. 5，I began to see that no matter how long I raced towards it，the banner was never any 6 .I finally decided to 7 and take a break. It was then that I saw my 8 sitting beside me.It had been with me as I 9 hard to support my family，as I played with my children and heard their 10 and even when I was 11 with my wife at my side looking after me. It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner. I just didnt have the 12 to see it.There is an old Chinese proverb that says，“Tension is who you think you should be. 13 is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the 14 life we think we should have and 15 the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banner far away. It will be found 16 your own heart，soul and mind. It will be found when you 17 that others love you just as you do.Dont be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness.

I was writing this letter to share with you my suggestions. First of all, our school should lay more emphasis in cultivating students learning methods. As the saying goes, teachers should not only pass on knowledge to students but also teach themselves how to study. In the world of information explosion, if students can be equipped with independent learning skills, no doubt they can have an advantage in this increasingly competitive world. In addition to, students after school life can never be overlooked. Our school should set up more clubs when students can display their talents and acquire some survival skills such as how to get along with others and how to be a team player. Allowing for more leisure time mean that students can devote more time to pursuing their interests and hobbies, which may well turn to be a welcome supplement to their beautiful life later. Thank you for spending your precious time read my letter and I hope my suggestions can be of some help. Best wishes, Li Jia 答案：. 阅读理解A语篇导读：本文是一篇议论文，讲述社会福利系统改革在近年来所产生的效果以及不同的分析家对这些现象的不同看法。1.【解析】细节理解题。由文章第二段原文“But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour”可知尽管过去两年中不享受福利待遇的人中有70%的人解决了就业问题，但因其工资薪水太低，生活水平并未得到实质性的提高，故选择D选项。【答案】D2.【解析】细节理解题。依据文章倒数第2段原文“The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communitiesIts beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important” 可知社会福利改革改变了低收入社会群体的道德风气，但更重要的是它正在重建一种职业道德。由此可推断“职业道德的重建”才是这个改革的真正核心，即B选项正确。【答案】B3.【解析】推理判断题。依据文章第二段“The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percenttwice the national average；for advocates（代言人） for the poor, thats an indication much more needs to be done.”可知尽管贫困人口的就业率得到显著改善，但其实人民贫困率仍然很高。而对贫困家庭来说，贫困率才是真正应该提高的东西。贫困人民的生活水平仍亟待提高，所以政府应投入更大的精力到提高人民生活水平上去而不是提高就业率或是工资等，故A选项正确。【答案】A4.【解析】推理判断题。纵观全文我们发现文章开头与结尾所表达的情感都是对社会福利系统改革的一种肯定与赞扬“While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many statesat least in getting people off welfare”尽管在文中作者也提出改革的其他问题，但总体看来作者仍然是赞成这项改革的。所以说改革在根本上是成功的。fundamentally根本上的，基本的，因此选择D选项。【答案】D七选五阅读语篇导读：与人保持长久的健康的关系是一门艺术，在本文中作者就如何和别人保持长久的健康的关系给人们提出了一些有效的建议。比如：对人要诚实，要尊重别人，要帮助别人，知道如何和别人交流。5.【解析】根据下句“Do not hide things from them, do not lie.”不要对人隐瞒，不要撒谎。“Be an honest person with them.”要做一个对他们诚实的人，可以承接下句。故选B项。【答案】B6.【解析】根据前后两句“You have to learn to adjust to their liking.”和“Dont just think about yourself, think about what your partner needs out of it as well.”可知你要了解自己同伴的需求，不要只是考虑自己的感受和需要。“Basically, learn to study your partners moods, wants, and needs.”基本上学会了解你同伴的情绪、需要和需求，可以承接上下文，故选F项。【答案】F7.【解析】根据下两句“Always be willing to help them and give them honesty and positivity at the same time. Make them feel you are someone they can really count on and build a future with.”可知要愿意帮助他人，要让别人知道你是值得依赖的。“Make sure you are encouraging to your partner.”要确保你在鼓励你的同伴，能够承接下文，故选C项。【答案】C8.【解析】根据本段前两句“Laughter is the key to happiness.”和“Laughter may seem silly”可知选D项，“Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.”“Laughter”是提示词。【答案】D9.【解析】根据下句“Its important to communicate this to them, not keep it bottled up.”可知和别人的交流很重要，而且要注意交流的方式和方法，不要把它封闭起来。“If they did something that made you unhappy, tell them about it in a respectful manner.”如果他们做了一些使你不高兴的事情，要用一种礼貌的方式告诉他们，能够承接下文，故选G项。【答案】G.完形填空语篇导读：作者通过自身经历明白一个道理：幸福就在每个人的身边。1.【解析】我觉得只有当我完成（accomplished）了某些事情后，我最终才会幸福。【答案】C2.【解析】tortoise意为“乌龟”，人们形容他的行为就是慢且稳，所以此处肯定是steady。【答案】C3.【解析】其他时间，我又像一只兔子一样，尝试不同的旁道。根据语境可知，act（做事，行动）正确。【答案】A4.【解析】我以一种危险的速度（speed）前进，希望能更快一点儿到达那面旗帜。【答案】D5.【解析】渐渐地（gradually），我开始发现无论我跑多远，那面旗帜从不曾更近一点儿。【答案】D6.【解析】closer 更近一点儿，符合语境。【答案】B7.【解析】最后，我决定坐下来（sit down）休息一下。【答案】B8.【解析】就在那时，我看到幸福（happiness）就在我身边。根据文章第一句中的“happiness”可知，A项正确。【答案】A9.【解析】当我努力工作（worked）来养家糊口时，当我和孩子们一起玩耍，听到他们的笑声（laughter）时，甚至当我生病（sick）妻子在身边照顾我时，幸福一直都在我身边。【答案】D10.【解析】小孩子最讲求的就是开心，所以选择laughter最好，stories从语法上讲没有错误，但和“happiness”相关性不够强，不是最佳选项。【答案】B11.【解析】look after照看，那男主人公肯定就是生病了，所以选择sick。【答案】A12.【解析】我只是没有看到这些身边的幸福的智慧（wisdom）。【答案】B13.【解析】压力来自你对自己的期待，放松你会发现真实的自己。此处relaxation（放松）和tension（压力）对应，故选C项。【答案】C14.【解析】也许我们大家都应该停止追求我们自己认为应该拥有的完美生活的脚步，享受（enjoy）我们现在所拥有的生活。perfect完美的。【答案】D15.【解析】参见上题解析。enjoy享受。【答案】A16.【解析】你会在你自己的心中、思想里、脑海中找到你想要的幸福。故选in。【答案】C17.【解析】当你意识到（realize）其他人爱你就像你爱他们一样时，你就会感到幸福。【答案】C18.【解析】在通往幸福的路上，不要做乌龟，更不要做兔子。要做一只顽皮的小狗，无论去哪里，都把快乐（joy）带在身边。【答案】A19.【解析】把自己从赛跑中解脱出来。takeout of从中出来，符合语境。【答案】A20.【解析】谈及爱和幸福时，你
