三、阅读题（每小题3分）

Many older Americans spend their final years in a nursing home or assisted living center. These places provide services that help older adults with activities they can no longer do on their own. However, most people say they would like to remain in their own homes. Now, there are nonprofit groups that help them do that.

Philip Smith is ninety-one years old and lives with his wife in an old house in Seattle,Washington. And he wants to keep it that way. He always says:"As far as I'm concerned, I would not like to leave this place. Living in a group situation is something I couldn't tolerate. I'd kill myself before I had to do that."

Mr. Smith says now he and his wife can take good care of themselves in their two-level house. But he and his wife know they will soon need help with simple housework. Work like changing a light bulb that hangs at the top of the stairs. In the past, an older American would ask one of their children or a neighborhood teenager to change the light bulb. But here,those young helpers have grown up and gone. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have three children, but they all live in other states. So they are considering joining a “virtual village”. This is a local group of volunteers and service providers that help older adults. They might help these adults with anything from transportation to small home repairs and dog walking.

The virtual village idea was first developed about ten years ago in Boston,Massachusetts. The idea has spread to an unofficial network of villages around the country. One hundred fifty are currently in development.

31.Mr. Smith doesn't like living in a nursing home, because （ ）.

A.he hates to live with many other people together

B.he is afraid that he will kill himself there

C.older people are treated badly there

D.he and his wife have heir own house

答案：A

32.What volunteer service for the seniors is not mentioned in the passage?（ ）

A.Providing ride for them.

B.Changing light bulbs for them.

C.Taking their dogs for a walk.

D.Cooking meals for them.

答案：D

33.What is the idea of “virtual village”?（ ）

A.Building more nursing home in the countryside.

B.Seniors live in their own home with the help of volunteers.

C.Arranging older people to live in group situations.

D.Encouraging children to live with their older parents together.

答案：B 

四、翻译题（每小题10分）

34.In many Western countries, a considerable number of parents have removed their children from school and are teaching them at home. Such children do all their normal lessons at home, often under the guidance of a parent. The first thing to consider is whether this is legal or not. In most countries it is, so long as parents can prove that their children are receiving an adequate education, equal to that provided by their state educational system. The next consideration is whether the parents have the time, self-discipline, intelligence and patience to teach their own child week after week, day in and day out, for hours on end. Then there is the problem of what will be taught, and how.

答案：在很多西方国家，已有数量可观的家长把孩子从学校带回家自己教。这些孩子通常是在父亲或母亲的指导之下在家里进修所有的正规课程。让孩子在家上学首先需要考虑的是这样做是否合法。在多数国家是合法的，只要家长能证明自己的孩子在家里受到合格的、与国家教育体制提供的质量相当的教育即可。接下来要考虑的是家长是否有时间、有自制力、有学识、有耐心，可以周复一周、日复一日地一连几个小时教自己的孩子。然后的问题就是教什么、怎么教。

五、写作题

35.Directions:You are to write in no less than 120 words about the title “The Most Important Quality for a Person to Be Successful in the World Today”. You should base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:（15分）

（1）你认为在现在的世界上要想成功什么素质最重要？

（2）请举例说明你的理由。

答案：The Most Important Quality for a Person to Be Successful in the World Today

I think the most important quality for a person to be successful in the world today is being tolerant. Here I do not define success economically. I define success socially. To succeed in the future, we will need to be tolerant of different background, opinions, and lifestyles.

Our modern society has become increasingly open. People from different cities, provinces or even different countries come to work in one workplace. So we must learn to live and work with these people and to be tolerant of the cultures, beliefs and lifestyles which are different from ours if we want to live and work with them peacefully.

In the present world, many a war was waged just because of different opinions or beliefs. We should not do things like that. We should not stop speaking to people or start a quarrel just because we have different opinions and beliefs. We must learn to be tolerant of one another and respect different opinions. We should find a common ground — an idea we can both agree on. Once we have agreed on one subject, it will be easier for us to settle differences in other subjects.

Learning to be tolerant is very important for everyone if he or she wants to be successful socially in our modern world.
