For girls ‎ the figure was 53. In the 1980s, after the one-child policy became official, the rate for boys and girls was equal--- both 36. By the 1990s，26 males per 1000 live births died before the age of one--- and 33 girls. The 2000s saw 21 boys per 1000 live births died and 28 girls.‎ By 2050，it's predicted that 25% China's population will be 65 or older．The predicted decline in the number of people of working age has made the government to drop the one-child policy．‎ ‎1．When was the baby deaths rate for both boys and girls equal？‎ ‎ A．In the 1970s． B．In the 1980s． C．In the 1990s． D．In the 2000s ‎2．What makes the one-child policy abolished according to the passage？‎ A．The decline of birth rate． B．The rise of baby deaths rate． C．The change of family structure． D．The decline of working age people．‎ ‎3．The passage sums up the one-child policy by___．‎ A．numbers     B．examples  C．pictures     D．analysis B We didn’t have a tree. My dad had as much pride as anybody, I suppose, so he wouldn’t just say that we couldn’t afford one. When I mentioned it, my mother said that we weren’t going to have one this year, that we couldn’t afford one, and even if we could---it was stupid to mess up your house with a dead tree.‎ About three days before Christmas, I was out collecting for my paper route. It was fairly late---long after dark---it was snowing and very cold. I went to the apartment building to try to catch a customer who hadn’t paid me for nearly two months---she owed me seven dollars. Much to my surprise, she was home. She invited me in and not only did she pay me, she also gave me a dollar tip.‎ On the way home, I walked past a Christmas tree shop and the idea hit me. The ‎ selection wasn’t very good because it was so close to the holiday, but there was this one real nice tree. It had been a very expensive tree and no one had bought it. Now it was so close to Christmas that the man was afraid no one would buy.‎ He wanted ten dollars for it, but when I told him what I had, he said he might sell it for that. I really didn’t want to spend the whole money on the tree, but it was so pretty that I finally agreed. I dragged it all the way home--- about a mile, I think---and I tried hard not to damage it. I arrived at home at last. My heart was bursting as I announced that I had a surprise.‎ ‎“Where did you get that tree?” my mother exclaimed. But it wasn’t the kind of exclamation that indicates pleasure. After she knew the truth, she said that I was going to end up in the poor house because I believe in stupid things like Christmas trees. My mother had never talked to me like that before and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.‎ ‎4. Why did the writer’s mother refuse a tree?‎ A. Because she couldn’t afford a dead Christmas tree.‎ B. Because she thought it was unreasonable to have a tree.‎ C. Because she was much so proud that she felt better.‎ D. Because she thought she wasn’t very proud of herself.‎ ‎5. How did the writer feel when he got home?‎ A. Upset and calm. B. Anxious and happy.‎ C. Proud and excited. D. Sorry and confused.‎ ‎6. What made the shop owner sell the tree?‎ A. His pity on the writer’s situation B. His desire of offering help C. His worry of keeping the tree.‎ D. His kindness of helping others ‎7. What the writer’s mother said in the last paragraph means she was ______.‎ A. pleased B. angry C. doubtful D. embarrassed C When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “ I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.‎ Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when you need help. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.‎ This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.‎ ‎8. According to the passage, winners .‎ A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives C. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame themselves rather that others ‎9. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .‎ A. avoid B. accept C. improve D. consider ‎10. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .‎ A. find a better way to handle the problem B. blame him for his lack of responsibility C. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. ask a more able colleague for help ‎11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. A Winner’s Achievement. B. A Winner’s Problem.‎ C. A Winner’s Opportunity. D. A Winner’s Secret.‎ D One form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren?‎ Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.‎ When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I find it very relaxing. It’s not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”‎ Another development that has favored grey games? It is a change in the type of video games available on the market. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy（策略）and ‎ simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.‎ Some people argue that grey gamers simply don’t have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the grey gamers may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them.‎ ‎12. The second paragraph is intended to ________.‎ A. show the best way to exercise the brain B. stress the importance of good health C. explain why grey gamers exist D. teach how to play video games ‎13. What was older people’s attitude towards their using personal computers at first?‎ A. Doubtful B. Indifferent C. Enthusiastic D. Supportive ‎14. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is ________.‎ A. offering figures B. giving examples C. quoting experts’ words D. providing charts ‎15. By saying ‘This couldn’t be further from the truth.’ in Paragraph 5, the author means ________.‎ A. mind challenging games are not fit for older people B. children should improve their skills with practice C. playing computer games requires analytical thinking D. older people can perform well in some computer games 第一节 ‎（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。‎ Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.‎ ‎ 16 . ‎ A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart.‎ Respect them more and cherish these moments. ‎ You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own. It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. 17 .‎ Satisfy their requests.‎ ‎ It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 18 . Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?‎ Keep company with them. ‎ Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 19 . Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.‎ Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 20 . Seek help if you are being abused in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.‎ A. Forgiveness is the key.‎ B. Tell them you love them every morning.‎ C. Parents will in turn express their love to you.‎ D. After this, share your feelings with your parents.‎ E. Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can.‎ F. Please remember parents are as important as friends.‎ G. There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example.‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 完型填空 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C ‎ 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ The Calendar read December 15.
