Years later, Caroline died from a brain tumor at the age of 45, leaving five children. In her last weeks, she asked Julie to raise the children as her own. Julie, a single mother of three with a small income, didn’t hesitate.‎ ‎ “I held her in my arms and said ‘You’ll be OK’, but I knew I was losing her.” She says.‎ ‎ “The hospital rang me and I rushed there, but Caroline had just gone,” she says. “I went to her house. The children arrived home from school in a taxi and I gathered them in my arms and said: ‘Mommy has gone to Heaven.’”‎ ‎ “Michael, who was 11, left the room. Kieran, ten, sat in great surprise; James, nine, broke down; while Emma, seven, and Chantelle, five uneasy. I brought them home.”‎ ‎ Julie, mother of Adam, 20, Peter, 19, and 14-year-old Christian, moved the table from her dining room to turn it into an extra bedroom for the girls.‎ ‎ She says “I put a tent up in the garden, and the children took turns to camp outside. We turned into a game. The children were terribly hurt by losing both their parents. But now, despite our lack of space and money, we have become one happy family.” The table in the kitchen is so small that Julie had to cook Christmas dinner in two sittings. Her eldest son has left for university and his bedroom is used by the younger boys.‎ ‎ Julie had to work 50 hours a week and runs the home on her salary.‎ ‎ “The children aren’t quiet anymore.

B．Traditional ideas.‎ C．Educational values. D．Historical events.‎ D Happy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story.‎ Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.‎ Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was of ten treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.‎ Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).‎ ‎32. The main idea of the third paragraph is________.‎ ‎ A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money ‎ B. many old people in America are leading a hard life ‎ ‎ C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65‎ ‎ D. American social security benefits are not good ‎33. From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by________. ‎ A. serious B. bad C. disappearing slowly D. growing fast ‎34. From this passage we can know________. ‎ A. in America, growing up is not a wonderful process ‎ ‎ B. in America, growing up is as wonderful a process as growing old ‎ ‎ C. in America, growing up is a wonderful process, while growing old is not ‎ ‎ D. in America, growing old is a wonderful process, while growing up is not ‎35. What should be mentioned in the following paragraph?‎ ‎ A. The public will change their attitude towards old people.‎ ‎ B. People will provide more services to the old in their communities.‎ ‎ C. Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americans. ‎ ‎ D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.‎ 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。‎ As we know, everyone can make mistakes, but don’t worry about it. The following is what we should do when we make mistakes.‎ ‎• Just admit (承认）it. Don’t think that our mistakes are caused by others. 36 Don’t blame other people, and don’t cheat ourselves, either.‎ ‎• 37 .In order to stop the problem from getting worse, we should act quickly to solve it. If we don’t act and deal with the problem quickly, it’ll only make us feel more stressed. Also it is necessary to make a plan of action and correct the mistake according to it. 38 .‎ ‎• 39 .Those who have made the most mistakes can get an A, for they are the ones who have learned the most. The more we learn from our mistakes, the cleverer we are.‎ ‎• 40 .What caused us to make the mistake? How can we avoid making the same mistake in the future? When we act with a method to get a good result, do it that way next time. If we don’t, we should stop, think about it, change it and try again.‎ A. Realize that making mistakes is the best way to learn.‎ B. Don’t be afraid of failure.‎ C. Be brave and face the fact that we have made the mistakes.‎ D. Solve it at once.‎ E. So be away from stress.‎ F. So decide quickly and act.‎ G. Think about what we can learn from our mistakes.‎ 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，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。‎ Stealing? I guess we were stealing.

Speed was never my 47 .So I could just stand there and 48 whatever punishment would surely come my way from Mr Jordan. He marched me to my house and my mother criticized me. My friends gathered to celebrate their 49 and observe my capture. They 50 me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain to my father about how 51 it was. “I don’t think so,” Dad said. “You got the punishment you 52 .” “But what about other guys?” I asked. Dad said, “You can’t 53 what happens to other people. You can only 54 what happens to you. You picked Mr Jordan’s strawberries that night, and you were punished for it. To me, that is completely fair.” Then I couldn’t 55 my father’s words.‎ ‎ 56 through the years I knew what he talked about. We didn’t come to earth with a 57 that life would treat us fairly.
