At the 2004 U.S. Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual eventsacross every possible stroke. He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelpsmatch Mark Spitz ’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2008, he will earn a＄1 million bonus fromhis sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passedhis ability on to his kids.Michael ’ s coach told Michaelc’ s mother that her son was a rare telent-limbed.Longwith bighands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous iscompetition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are likepaddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he’ s shown the ability to domin any event.In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group at thJunior Nationals.At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete Sydney Olympics forthe U.S.in 68 years. In an astonishing performance, he medaled six times and set five worldrecords. Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in recordtimes in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳 )— doing so on thesame day, which was a first in swimming history.Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’ t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set onmore than Olympic glory.He wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like MichaelJordan and Tiger Woods have.16.Which of the following is the biggest achievement of Michael Phelps so far?A. An all-around competitor in the history of swimming.B. Breaking of a record in the 200-meter butterfly.C. Six individual events across every possible stroke.D. Five titles of Olympic champion.17.

The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the humanfactor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust theirinstinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usuallypick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candi date lies or is less than completely honest.“ This can be a serious problem for employers” , explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment.most difficult liars to find are those who tell half- truths rather than complete lies.” Researchshows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practiceis omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps betweenperiods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange.ng on these“areasFocusiwillforce candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when peoplesignal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervoushand movements all indicate discomfort.”Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists thatclose inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can youconfirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less thancompletely honest.21.The best title of this passage can be ___________.A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC.Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD.Advantages of Job Interviews22.The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23.How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A.By leaving out some necessary informationB.By providing more information than needed.C.By using their body language.D.By telling some unbelievable lies.24.In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we _____.A. examine the resumes carefullyB. inspect the candidates aggressivelyC. correct the resumes intentionallypare one’s resume with others ’25.What is the author ’s attitude towards job interviews?A. Most objectiveB. Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kindof such birds is the coot —a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool. ”The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize amd count its eggs,”says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader ’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. “Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds wererecognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn ’tremove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world, ”the ecologist concluded.26. The meaning of the bird ’s name “coot”probably is __________.A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27. In the passage, “foreign eggs”refers to _________.A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched28.Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests.B. To put their own eggs intoothers ’nests. C. To hatch othercoots’eggs.D. To protect their own eggs.29.Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage?Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.A. Ⅰ .onlyB. Ⅱ .onlyC. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ .D. Ⅰ .,Ⅱ .and Ⅲ .30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that the coot has?A. To trick other coots.B. To fight back the tricks.C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.D. To recognize and count its own eggs.Passage FourNational Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in the Inter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbiting outpost, the U.S. space agency said on Tuesday.Internet magnate Mark Shuttleworth signed a contract on Dec.4 with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency(RASA) to fly aboard a Soyuz space taxi to the station in April 2002, almost exactly a year after lionaire Dennis Tito became the first to experience space as a paying guest.NASA spokeswoman Kristen Larson said by telephone:”We’ve agreed in principle to the flight of Mr. Shuttleworth. However, there are some final details that need to be takenof . ”Larson would not say what details needed resolving , but said the station’s internationalpartners---including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada---had drafted a set of requirements for space travelers covering “physical ability, psychological ability, language ability ”and “length and appropriateness of training. ”Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacinghis was going to be extremely busy. “The station is for workers, and it puts an additional burden on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that are productive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facility, ”he said.Space Adventures chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a Russian official had been quoted as saying the price wasno worse than Tito ’s fare, which was widely reported to be ＄ 20 million.31.

Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Banks are ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; theyrely on depositors not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not sound, that it cannot pay off its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all the accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be funds to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks anticipated a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough funds in hand to pay off as many depositors as might apply. The officers simply instructed the tellers to pay on demand. Next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line convinced many that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’windows. Clothing was torn and limbs were broken, but the jam continued for hours. The power of the panic atmosphere is evident in the fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was sound and could pay out all depositors, nevertheless withdrew the funds in their own accounts. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty restraining herself from doing the same.41. A bank run occurs when __________.A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all of its depositors at one timeD. employees of a bank take their own funds out of the bank42. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to __________.A. explain why they could not pay out all depositsB. pay out deposits as requestedC. assure customers that the bank was soundD. pay out money as slowly as possible43. The essential cause of a run on a bank is __________.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of sufficient fundsC. crowds of peopleD. inefficient tellers44. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught sayA. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many withdrawals would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.45. According to the passage, the actions of the customers of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were influenced chiefly by the __________.A. ease with which they could obtain their moneyB. confidence demonstrated by other customers of the bankC. confidence that Mrs. Vaught demonstratedD. failure of several other banks to openPassage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Gravity holds us so dose to the Earth's surface that nobody can jump more than a few feet into the air without the force of gravity pulling him down. It takes a powerful engine to keep an airplane up in the air. If you throw a ball upwards as hard as you can, you will notice that it travels in a curved path before it comes back to the ground. If the Earth had no gravity, the ball, insteadof traveling in a curve, would move away in a straight line; in fact, it would never come back to the ground. If the Earth were to lose its pull of gravity, we should all fly off it as it spinsround in space. The Earth has a strong pull, but modem rockets going out into space are able to escape from the gravity, because they travel so quickly. With the ball thrown into the air, the height reached by the ball depends upon how hard it is thrown. The greater the starting-speed, the higher the ball will go. If it could be thrown so that it traveled fast enough, the ball would escape into space and never come back. Nobody can throw a ball as fast at this, but powerful rocket engines can send spaceships away from the Earth at such a speed that the Earth's gravity is not able to pull them back. This is how we can now send rockets to the Moon.46. Gravity holds us dose the Earth's surface, and as a result, __________.A. we can lift ourselves no more than a few feet above the EarthB. nobody can jump a few feet into the airC. no one will be pulled downD. any one of us can Jump as high as expected47. What would happen to a ball thrown upwards if there were no gravityA. It would spin round in space.B. It would fly off into spaceC. It would fall into a curved path.D. It would move towards the Earth.48. The ball thrown into the air would never come back to the ground __________.A. without such a powerful horizontal pushB. if it were thrown upwards as hard as you canC. should it travel in a curved pathD. were it not for gravity49. The height the ball will reach depends on __________.A. the escape velocityB. the limiting velocityC. its starting velocityD. its traveling speed50. What is it that makes it possible to put a spaceship into orbitA. the Earth's gravityB. a strong pullC. a powerful engineD. the powerful rocket enginePassage ThreeQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Does a bee know what is going on its mind when it navigates its way to distant food sources and back to the hive, using polarized sunlight and the tiny magnet it carries as an aid Or is the bee just a machine (Unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any other way to us e Donald Griffin’s term) Does a bee have “awareness”, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagineThere is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl Von Frisch and more recently confirmed by James Gould at Princeton, biologists who wish to study such things as bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals, the dish or whatever is moved progressivelyfarther and farther from the hive.Eventually, the target is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the geologists shifting the dish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.51. Which of the following is the best title for the passageA. The Bee Hive: Nature’s Candy ShopB. Testing the Awareness of BeesC. Navigational Techniques of Birds and InsectsD. Behaviorists Versus Biologists: A Zoological Debate52. In the second paragraph why is Karl Von Frisch mentionedA. To introduce his observation on bee behavior.B. To contrast his theories with those of James Gould.C. To give credit to his description of the bee hive.D. To support the argument that bees use sunlight to navigate.53. According to the author, why was sugar used in the studyA. To keep the bees nourished and healthy during the experiment.B. To train the bees to travel to a particular place.C. To reward the bees for performing the experiment correctly.D. To ensure that the bees did not sting the scientists.54. The result of the experiment explained in the passage seems to indicate which of the followingA. Research using bees is too dangerous to be conducted successfully.B. Bees are unable to navigate beyond 100 feet of their hive.C. Scientists can teach bees to speak to people.D. Bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks.55. Which of the following best describes the format of the passageA. a response to criticismB. a comparison of two competing theoriesC. a question followed by a possible answerD. a position supported by scientific debateSection 2Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (A) or false (B). Then blacken the corresponding letter（A or B）on the Answer Sheet.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.) Write your answers on the Answer Sheet of Paper Two. （请将此部分的答案写在试卷二的答题纸上）Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Thank—you cards seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human contact．Although our society has changed greatly over the past century，the etiquette (礼节) of thank-you notes has not．While most people would agree that thank-you notes are a necessity，there are still those who forever delay or are forgetful for unknown reasons．And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more obvious (or lacking) than June．The month of brides and graduations，and the beginning of summer parties．“It’s a must-do thing．A real thank-you does not come by e-mail．They come in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to pass around for everyone to read，”said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige．Don’t think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes-anyhandwritten letters，for that matter-have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity (尊严) inthis e-hyper (超电子) world．Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance (复兴)．More than simply obeying rules of etiquette，thank-you cards are a sign of caring．“They’re more important now than ever，”expert Peter Post says．“You’re building a relationship．And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge (表示谢意) when someone has done something nice for you．’’The payoff (回报)，Post says，can be huge．“It perpetuates (延续)，”he says．“The more we do it，the more it comes backto us，and it’s a benefit to us a11．It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in.”61. The writer thinks the Internet ________________________________________.62. Baldrige argues that a thank-you note should be __________________________63.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Do you know what the world's biggest fish is? Here's a clue: it's not a whale! It's the whale shark. The whale shark is also the world's biggest fish by far. The scienitists have proven that the whale shark can grow up to 12 meters long and weigh as much as 12, 500 kilos. That's even bigger than most of the dinosaurs that went extinct 65 million years ago.Whale sharks are unique because they have many unusual characteristics. For example, the whale shark is a filter-feeder.This means that it eats tiny shrimp-like creatures which it filters from the water as it swims. Whale sharks move slowly but continuously through the water, scooping up plankton as small fish scatter around them.Whale sharks are spotted with white or pale yellow spots, and young whale sharks have bright yellow stripes running along their bodies. It is believed that whale sharks have existed for more than 60 million years, which makes them one of the oldest creatures on Earth. Another interesting fact about whale sharks is their ability to live for a long time. Some whale sharks have been known to live as long as 100 years.1.

Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man — by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers ov er the loudspeaker: “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when we speak of our modern society.31.Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because .A.the population of the world is increasing fastB.people use too many man-made materialsC.we have more and more industryD.we are producing more cars, trucks and buses32.People crowd into the cities since .A.they want very much to find well-paid jobsB.they are anxious to enjoy the achievements of our societyC.they have become tired of their homelandD.they have a strong wish to become industrial workers33.According to the passage, what does man value most among the following?A.IndustryB.HealthC.Clean airD.The future of the children34.The story about the airline pilot tells us that .A.man knows where the society is goingB.people do not welcome the rapid development of modern societyC.man can do little about the problem of pollutionD.the speaker is worried about the future of our society35.In this passage the author really wants to tell us .A.the development of technology pollution has become a serious problemB.we should lower the speed of development to stop pollutionC.it’s time we did something to reduce pollutionD.as industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural resultText BAmong all the animals, the ape（猿）is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the same brain structure, the same nervous system, and the same kind of blood.There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee, the orangutan, the gorilla, and the gibbon. They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree. These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruit.

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologue（自言自语）as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t chan ge your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle tosome extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam（鼓起干劲）and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.41.If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably .A.he is a lazy personB.he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC.he is not sure when his energy is lowD.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening42.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A.Unawareness of energy cycles.B.Familiar monologues.C.A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.43.If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should .A.change his energy cycleB.overcome his lazinessC.get up earlier than usualD.go to bed earlier44.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .A.help to keep your energy for the day’s workB.help you to control your temper early in the dayC.enable you to concentrate on your routine workD.keep your energy cycle under control all day45.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C.Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D.Children have energy cycles, too.Part III Cloze.（10 points）What is it about violence that is so attractive to the general public? There are so many people who would rather see a violent movie 46 a movie filled with romance or adventure. If you were to compare the revenues from box office earnings（票房收入）, I am almost positive that the movies 47 blood and guts 48 much more than other movies.There are so many people 49 this kind of movie affects people in a 50 way.

This shift has been driven by several factors, including advancements in technology, changing work cultures, and the desire for a better work-life balance.Technology has played a crucial role in enabling remote work. With the advent of high-speed internet, video conferencing tools, and cloud-based applications, employees can now collaborate effectively with their colleagues, regardless of their physical location. This has made iteasier for companies to hire talent from anywhere in the world and for employees to work from anywhere they choose.The changing work culture has also contributed to the rise of remote work. Companies are increasingly recognizing the value of flexible work arrangements and are offering more opportunities for employees to work from home. This shift is driven by the growing demand for a better work-life balance and the desire to attract and retain top talent.Remote work has several benefits for both employees and employers. For employees, it offers greater flexibility and the ability to create a personalized work environment. It can also lead to increased productivity, as employees are able to work in a setting that is conducive to their individual needs. For employers, remote work can reduce overhead costs, increase employee satisfaction, and improve retention rates.However, remote work also comes with its own set of challenges. Communication can be more difficult when working from home, and there is a risk of feeling isolated. Additionally, employees may struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance if they are not careful.Despite these challenges, the trend towards remote work is likely to continue. As technology continues to evolve and work cultures continue to change, more and more companies and employees are likely to embrace the benefits of remote work.26.

The park was filled with people enjoying the beautiful weather. There were children playing, couples strolling, and groups of friends gathered around a picnic table.As I walked along the path, I noticed a young man sitting on a bench, looking very sad. I approached him and asked if he was okay. He looked up and said, "I'm fine, but I just feel really lonely."I sat down next to him and asked him to tell me what was going on. He explained that he had moved to the city a few months ago and had not yet made any friends. He felt isolated and was struggling to adjust to his new environment.I listened carefully and offered him some advice. I told him that it was important to be proactive and reach out to people. I suggested that he join a local community group or take a class to meet new people. I also encouraged him to be open and friendly, as making friends is often about taking the first step.The young man seemed to feel better after our conversation. He thanked me for listening and for the advice. As I continued my walk, I couldn't help but feel happy that I had been able to help someone in need.This experience reminded me of the importance of being kind and compassionate towards others.

They came because they wanted to live in the countryside and to grow their own food.In June 1986,they decided to start a school.They managed to get an old,disused primary-school（小学）building and started with twenty-four children aged from four to twelve.The teachers say，“The important thing in school is doing,not sitting.”And so the courses include yoga（瑜伽），cooking,knitting,kite-making,music,fishing,drama（戏剧）and environmental （环境的）river studies,as well as reading,writing,math and science.21.Which of the following is NOT true about the new school set up in Denmark?A.The school has a lot of choice in deciding what to teach.B.The school has to follow the national courses.C.Only educated parents are allowed to set up their own school.D.The school has to have at least27pupils.22.The writer tells about the Cooleenbridge School in Ireland because.A.it was used as a comparisonB.the pupils there were aged from4to12C.it was set up by parents who are not people of DenmarkD.it was taken as an example of this kind of“small school”23.What makes this kind of school special?A.It was set up by parents not by government.B.It is an old,disused primary-school building.C.The number of pupils in it is only sixty.D.It has to have at least60pupils.24.The sentence“the important thing in school is doing,not sitting”means.A.children should do more homework at home,not just sit in class to listen to the teachersB.children should learn by themselves not rely on teachersC.what teachers should do is teaching in the classroom,not sitting in the officeD.children should learn through practice not just from books25.Which of the following statements best suits the author's opinion?A.Students should have either yoga,cooking,knitting,kite-making,music,fishing,drama and environmental river studies,or reading,writing,math and science.B.Students now are having too much burden to learn all kinds of classes.C.Students can choose some practical classes such as reading,writing,math and science.D.Students should not only have classes such as reading,writing,math and science,but also yoga, cooking,knitting,kite-making,music，fishing,drama and environmental river studies.Passage FourIn2020,there were118million elderly people living alone in China,29million of whom were80 or above.If even10percent of these senior citizens require eldercare services,at least11.8 million eldercare service positions are needed.Given the above-mentioned characteristics, Chinese-style eldercare is faced with numerous challenges.First,the country must urgently establish a multilevel,multidimensional and intelligent eldercare services system.Today,most seniors in China prefer home-based care.Ninety percent of seniors take care of themselves at home.About7percent rely on community support,and only3percent live in nursing homes.At the same time,however,a gap remains between the supply and demand for eldercare with regard to the ability of seniors to pay for these services,as well as numerous disparities in the quality of nursing institutions.２０２２年成考专升本《学士学位英语》真题及解析Due to bed shortages,for example,mid-range nursing institutions are failing to meet the needs of those who require their services.Second,the three-pillar structure of China's pension system is out of balance.In2020,the basic pension insurance fund，the first pillar，accounted for70percent of the market.Occupational pension schemes,the second pillar,accounted for nearly30percent of the market,and commercial insurance,the third pillar,equaled almost nothing.Third,the development of the pension industry faces both institutional and conceptual obstacles. This is manifested in a number of ways,including the ambiguous distinction between competitive and noncompetitive industries,a lack of a clear boundary between the government and the market,as well as the inability of private organizations to provide financial support and medical insurance so as to compete with public organizations.Fourth,the pension system needs to be further improved.At present,development of the second and third pillars of China's pension system is lagging behind，and there are also concerns about the adequacy and sustainability of pension funds.26.Which of the following is NOT the challenges that Chinese-style eldercare is faced with?A.The three-pillar structure of China's pension system is out of balance.B.To urgently establish a multilevel and intelligent eldercare services system.C.The pension industry faces great obstacles.D.The children of the elders are living far away from home.27.What does the word“seniors”mean in Paragraph3?A.The fourth-year undergraduates.B.Old people.C.People with disabilities.D.Privileged people.28.Which of the following is NOT true based on the passage?A.Most elders in China take care of themselves at home.B.Mid-range nursing institutions fail to meet the needs of those who require the services.C.Only3percent of seniors live in nursing homes.D.A large majority of seniors rely on community support for eldercare services.29.According to the passage,how many elderly people of80or above live alone in China in 2020?A.80million.B.180million.C.29million.D.11.8million.30.Which accounts for the least in the structure of China's pension system?A.The commercial insurance.B.The basic pension insurance fund.C.The occupational pension schemes.D.The second pillar pension.PartⅢVocabulary and
