第二部分：理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面四篇短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In the Western world we tend to group people by age, such as 3-year-olds, 13-year-olds and 80-year-olds. Why do we separate people by age? Maybe there are reasons, but sometimes I think it’s because of ignorance, prejudice and lack of choices. It is also because of fear. We sometimes avoid old people because we are afraid of aging and dying.
On occasion I realize that I rarely spend time with elderly people. However, I have always had a good time being with them. When I think of my own experience with my grandmother, I remember her as a person who always had the patience to listen to me. Elderly people have plenty of time and have experienced a lot. They possess a wisdom that we don’t have yet. A few years ago my boyfriend and I invited our neighbor on a Sunday to drink tea with us. She was an 89-year-old woman whose husband had recently died. It took us several weeks to make up our minds to invite her because we were always very busy.
I still remember very well what a relaxing and interesting afternoon we spent together. Even after moving to another town, we still keep in touch, even if it’s only for a short visit once a year. Most of the time we are very much concerned about ourselves, and we forget about the true values in life. The closer we keep relationships with old people, the more natural things may seem to us. I believe that we need to reconnect the old and the young for our own mental and social health. They can give us knowledge, love or, at least, good memories.
41. What’s the author’s opinion towards age separation in the West now?
A. She thinks it’s reasonable.
B. She is against it.
C. She is in favour of it.
D. She has no certain view about it.
42. From her experience we may conclude that _____.
A. she is a considerate person
B. she dislikes old people
C. she must be an expert about society
D. she may lack motherly love
43. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Closing the Gap between the Old and the Young
B. Our Duty to Care for the Old
C. Old People Need Caring
D. Love from the Elderly
B
How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child----things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
44. According to Para. 2, the writer thinks that_____.
A. life for a child is comparatively easy
B. a child is always loved whatever he does
C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D. only children are interested in life
45. After a child grows up, he______.
A. will have little time playing
B. has to be successful in finding a job
C. can still ask for help when in trouble
D. should be able to take care of himself
46. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People are often satisfied with their life
B. There are fewer interesting things for old people
C. Adults are freer to do what they want to
D. Adults should no longer rely on others
47. The main idea of the passage is_____.
A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains.
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.
C

People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet?the story of Velvet Brown，a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained?and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents，both Americans，had moved there for business reasons.

In 1963，she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra?the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend(传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet，she has been lucky. she has beauty，fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker.

Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others?several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.

B.I believe in God.
C.I did pretty well as a taxi driver

F.I serve people well whether they tip or not.
.56
I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts in the world. it's what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by it.
57.
Because taxi drivers are sometimes rude, people get the wrong impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them are honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week where a taxi driver hands in money , mobile phones or something valuable people leave in their taxi. If they weren't honest, you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers.
58.
One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my taxi. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of baggage that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to track her in order to return her ring. I didn't get as much as “thank you.” Still, I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.
59.
I bought my own house in America. Life is not easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day, In all my years of driving a taxi, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks. Even if they get a little troublesome once in a while, I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.
60.
Something about tips(小费). You know most Americans are pretty generous. I always try to be nice to everyone, whether they tip or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish（教区）.
