Sad stories do exist in large numbers for the past lottery winners and that's why some financial experts say "70 percent of lottery winners will squander away (乱花) winning within a few years." Some end up losing all within two years, family relationships destroyed or even worse.Wayne Schenk was an old soldier diagnosed with lung cancer. When he won a million dollars in a lottery he thought his troubles were over and he would get the advanced medical treatment that might save his life. But Lottery officials refused to pay him the total sum in a single payment and they said they could not make an exception to the regulations. When Schenk died in 2007, he'd only received one payment of $34,000.Another lottery winner, Billy Bob Harrell, Jr. killed himself two years after winning 31 million dollars in the Texas lottery in 1997.He'd spent large amounts of money and given large amounts away, but he didn't end me expected peace that should have come with the freedom of money.Other lottery winners have ended up in prison for crimes. Many suffer bankruptcy (破产) after the big jackpot (头奖) is spent and given away, including some of the eight people who won the 365 million Powerball in 2006.The examples given paint a sad picture of what can happen if you win a big lottery jackpot, but fortunately, these examples don't tell the stories of all jackpot winners.56. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Most lottery winners use up money quickly.B. Most lottery winners don't really end up well.C. Winning lottery means relationships destroyed.D. Financial experts are against the lottery industry.57. Why did lottery officials refuse to give Wayne Schenk the million dollars in onepayment?A. He was diagnosed with lung cancer.B. He was unwilling to give away his money.C. They had to observe the official rules.D. They didn't want to disturb his peace.58. The author supports his main idea by ____.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. listing numbersD. listing reasons59. In the following paragraph, the author will probably talk about_____.A. advice given by financial expertsB. happy stories of the lottery winnersC. conclusion drawn by the authorD. regulations about lottery winningBAdvertisement★Share Flat.

Since these devices are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function”. Many young adults agree and use their cell phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers boasted about their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has transformed itself into an accessory（饰品）business. And for many today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.“Complications” --- features that go beyond simple timekeeping--- are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, lunar calendars, USB drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings（挥棒方式）!Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches. For example, Japanese watc hmakerTokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet (手镯) than a watch.Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative flair or a love of sports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(小玩意儿) in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!63.The underlined word “redeem” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “__________”.A. enlargeB. regainC. proveD. lose64. According to the passage, a multi-function watch can _________.A. store the list of phone numbersB. remind you of your daily affairsC. be used as a calculatorD. show the direction65. In Paragraph 4, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned to _________.A. prove today’s wa tches are fashionableB. compare a watch with a cool braceletC. show how popular Shinshoku watches are.D. stress it’s Tokyoflash that makes Shinshoku watches66. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Japanese watches stand outB. Watches tell more than timeC. Watch industry is in a bad situationD. Watches are becoming less popularD“A very disruptive(调皮捣蛋的) six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,” said one teacher. “ I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring the latter.Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behaviour of their parents.My members tell me that parents also come into school often and threaten staff and some staff have been attacked by a pupil’s parents. One father encouraged his child to start a fight on the playground before school started. A primary teacher reported that a parent shouted at him. We need to have a serious and sensible debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably expect of schools and teachers.Children will not learn how to behave as social beings if they are stuck in front of the TV for hours every day. They need their parents to show an interest in them and to spend time with them, helping them to play with their peers(同龄人) and to learn the rules of social behavior.Children are now arriving at school socially undeveloped, increasingly unable to dress themselves, unable to use the toilet properly, unable to hold a knife and fork and unused to eating at a table, Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, writes in today’s Observer. Instead of taking responsibility themselves, too many parents expect teachers to control their children’s behaviour and wellbeing, she adds. Bousted says one mother b lamed staffwhen she discovered that her 16-year-old son was smoking.We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed(沉迷于) in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take bake control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behaviour and sticking to those boundaries. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resource------time------- so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.67. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?A. The violence in the school.B. The study pressure of students.C. The responsibilities of the students.D. The right to achieve students’ potential.68. The underlined part in Paragraph 7 means _____.A. parents care little abo ut children’s life at homeB. parents and children live in their separate roomsC. children don’t live with their parents in the same houseD. children live a different life from that of parents at home69. The author’s attitude to the behaviour of parents may be ______.A. dissatisfiedB. indifferentC. understandingD. tolerant70. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parentsB. schools can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachersC. students are responsible for making themselves known in societyD. parents should spend time with children to make them ready to learn第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）71Most fitness advice is aimed at a general audience.
