If your child needs a summer job, here are a few options to consider:‎ Lemonade/Cookie Stand Benefits Creates a concept of running a business: Your child will be his own boss, set his own price, and run the show. It’s a great introduction to running his own business.‎ Limited Start-Up Costs: The things used to make lemonade are cheap, so your child should be able to get back his investment with a handful of sales.‎ What Kids Learn About Money: Your child will learn a very valuable lesson about pricing. The price of his lemonade will decide how much he can sell, if he will recover his investment and the amount of profit.‎ Yard Work Benefits:‎ Repeated Customers: If a homeowner needs help raking (耙地) this year, he’ll probably want help again next year. Your child should be able to maintain a regular set of customers after one season.‎ Safety: Yard work is generally safer than a lawn-mowing job. Without having to operate machines, your child will be much safer.‎ What Kids Learn About Money: Because of the variability (变动) in pay, your child will need to learn how to negotiate(谈判) a fair price with homeowners if they ask.‎ Lifeguard Benefits:‎ Responsibility: Kids learn a lot about responsibility when lifeguarding. They are within rights to tell whether a certain activity is safe and are allowed to take action as they see fit.‎ Exercise: Lifeguards need to be proficient at swimming and must exercise to stay in shape.‎ What Kids Learn About Money: To be a lifeguard, one must be certified. Your child may have to pay for lifeguard training, although some employers provide it on-site.‎ ‎21. Which one is not the benefit of selling lemonade or cookies for children?‎ A. To learn how to run a business. B. To own repeated customers.‎ C. To learn profit and loss. D. To lower the risk of losing money.‎ ‎22. Which is suitable if you want your child to learn communication and negotiation?‎ A. Yard Work B. Lemonade/Cookie Stand C. Lifeguard D. All of the above ‎23. If your kid wants to be a lifeguard, he or she has to do all the following except ______.‎ A. keeping a good figure B. excelling at swimming ‎ C. learning to take action when necessary.D. receiving training for free B My parents and two older brothers arrived in Queens from Cuba in 1967, squeezing into a one-bedroom apartment that got even more cramped when I showed up two years later. Suspicious of everyone and unable to communicate in English, my parents weren’t about to let their kids hang out in the streets. And since they both worked, we boys spent a lot of time at home.‎ The main public library on Merrick Boulevard was the first place I was allowed to visit on my own. I started going there when I was eight. Everything I needed was located on what seemed to me an endless single floor. Wandering around that building aimlessly on a Saturday afternoon offered a sense of freedom I’d never experienced before.‎ Once my father dropped me off, it didn’t really matter what I did so long as I could explore. I find it interesting that people today say that libraries are no longer about books; they weren’t really about books for me back in the 1970s, either. It was ‎ more about being around other people who looked like they were being productive-turning pages, making copies, patiently waiting for items. All this was attractive to me.‎ I felt a certain level of dignity and self-respect at the library. I didn’t borrow books from the library despite spending practically every Saturday of my childhood there. I certainly went over hundreds and hundreds of them during my walks around the building- sports, politics and the solar system were my favorite sections. ‎ But I felt no great need to bring books home. We had no room for books in our apartment anyway. I felt like a poor kid when I read books at home. I felt like everyone else when I read books at the library.‎ ‎24. The underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph I probably means “________”.‎ A. dangerous    B. shabby    C. messy    D. crowded ‎25. What did the author appreciate most about the library?‎ A. The atmosphere it provides     B. The books he could explore.‎ C. The productive people in it.    D. The seemingly endless floor.‎ ‎26. The author didn’t borrow books from the library because ________.‎ A. he had finished reading all the books he preferred B. he felt like reading at the library to enjoy freedom C. he didn’t want to lose his dignity and self-respect D. he was too poor to afford the cost of borrowing books ‎27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. A Building Shaped a Nation’s Spirit. B. Culture Shock Is Never a Barrier C. My Aimless and Boring Childhood D. How a Public Library Set Me Free ‎ C Waiter Scott was born on August 15,1771 in Edinburgh, Gotland. At the age of two, Scott suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症) which left him with a limp. He was sent to live with relatives to try and find a cure. In 1783 he attended the University‎ of ‎Edinburgh. He had to leave for a year because of health problems. In 1786, Scott worked in his father’s law firm. He returned to the university in 1789 to study law, graduating in 1792. The same year he became a lawyer and was accepted into the Faculty of Advocates (苏格兰律师公会).‎ Scott did some translation work from 1796-1798. In 1799, Scott became ‎ sheriff-deputy of Selkirkshire, a post which he held until he died. In 1800, Scott rewrote a ballad collection called Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border. In 1805, he became part owner of The Ballantyne Press which had published his The Eve of St. John in 1799. His poem The Lay of the Last Minstrel was published that same year and became very popular. He was a co-founder of the Quarterly Review, a literary journal. Scott continued to write poems and ballads, each one becoming more popular than the last. In 1810, The Lady of the Lake was published and sold 25,000 copies in less than 9 months.‎ Scott moved his family to Abbotsford in 1812. In 1813, The Ballantyne Press collapsed, which caused Scott to have serious financial problems. In 1814, he wrote a novel called Waverley to earn money and it became the most successful English novel of the time. He went on to write 26 novels in the series.‎ In 1826, Scott faced financial ruin again when his publisher failed, which him to work even harder. In 1830, he began suffering from diseases and he died at home on September 21,1832.‎ ‎28. Which word can best describe Waiter Scott’s childhood?‎ A. Unfortunate. B. Colorful. C. Quiet. D.

Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.‎ ‎ “I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’ s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”‎ ‎ At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”‎ ‎ However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.‎ ‎ Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University‎ of ‎Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”‎ ‎32.

The underlined “it” (in paragraph 4) refers to ________.‎ A. a great effort ‎ B. the idea of living beyond the present life span C. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years ‎ D. the conservative estimate ‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for this text?‎ A. Living Longer or Not B. Science, Technology and Long Living C. No Limit for Human Life D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Do Man-on-the Street Interviews The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 36 But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.‎ When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the –street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 37 ‎ Hit the streets with confidence. 38 Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic,” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.‎ Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don’t get discouraged.‎ ‎ 39 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 40 ‎ ‎ If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.‎ A. Limit your time.‎ B. As you approach people, be polite.‎ C. If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.‎ D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.‎ E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.‎ F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.‎ G. With a question like this, you will get more than a ‘Yes” or “No” reply.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41─60各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter（伐木工） went to a timber merchant to ask for a job and he got it.
