    第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题。每小题3分，共60分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    A
    We thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way,
    two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.
    We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.
    That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
    Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”
    “ But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me—you’ll hate me,” he replied.
    I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy –as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.
    I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.
    We are still struggling for out better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.
    36．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that________.
    A．they became closer as they struggled together
    B．they hoped to find jobs in the same company
    C．neither of them had the courage to ace difficulty
    D．they were trying to make their relationship closer
    37．We can learn from the passage that________.
    A．they both found good jobs at last.
    B．both of them were worried about joblessness.
    C．her husband was to blame for the unemployment
    D．they didn’t love each other when they got married
    38．Which of the following can best describe their present life?
    A．Bitter but easy. B．Comfortable and happy.
    C．Hard but warm.       D．Well-off and relaxing.
    39．The best title of the passage might be________         .
    A．We Have It All           B．We Find It Again
    C．A Perfect Couple            D．A Hard Time

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    Everybody has had at least one experience from which he knows the meaning of life. This time, which took place several years ago, but seems as if it just happened.
    On an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s dress and picked out a beautiful skirt. “ Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” he said．I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral of my sister, after her unexpected death.
    He took the shirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
    I’m thinking about his words, and they’ve changed the way I live my life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. “Someday ”and “one of these days ”are losing their importance  on my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now.
    Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.
    56．Why did Jan buy the beautiful skirt but didn’t wear it?
    A．She waited for a special occasion to wear it on.
    B．She wanted to keep it for someone else.
    C．She saved it till she grew up.
    D．She would give it to herself as a gift some day.
    57．What does the underlined word “cherish” mean?
    A．Treasure.  B．Waste.      C．Own. D．Save
    58．From his experience, the author learns that_______.
    A．everybody can have a happy life through efforts
    B．every day in our lives is worth cherishing
    C．enjoying ourselves is the most important thing in our lives
    D．everybody will have some things left to do after his death
    59．What does the author write this passage for?
    A．To show how to make good use of everyday in life.
    B．To explain the true meaning of his brother-in-law’s words.
    C．To tell people to cherish every day and find the meaning of life.
    D．To encourage people to waste time and enjoy themselves in life.
    60．What’s the best title for this passage?
    A．Every Day IS a Gift      
    B．My Sister Jan
    C．What Is the Meaningful Life like   
    D．The Most Important Time in Your Life

    E  
    Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
    The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
    In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
    The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
    Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
    Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
    Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
    Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.
    77.For children who receive allowances, they’d better not ________.　　
    A. waste money to buy gifts for their parents or friends　　
    B. buy their favorite clothing or electronics for themselves　　
    C. save money like their parents or other adults　　
    D. ask for the next allowance before the decided date.
    78．Many parents give children an allowance regularly to ______.　　
    A. meet children’s basic need for life       
    B. give control over their children　　
    C. see whether they have financial mistakes  
    D. help children learn how to manage money
    79.If children are required to save their allowance, they ______.　　
    A. can experience three things related to money　　
    B. can understand the relation between goals and sacrifice　　
    C. will do more work around the house　　
    D. help themselves found the basis for their future life
    80. What is the best title for the passage?
    A. Be Generous to Pay Your Children
    B. Be Wise to Avoid Financial Mistakes
    C. Saving Allowances Does Good to Children
    D. Allowances Help Children Learn about Money

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    Some people have unforgettable past memories that make them sad and angry. Well, to deal with this, I suggest that you pick yourself up and move ahead. It is easier said than done! So here are a few ways to bring about the change.
    Do something you really love doing. We all have interest in what we love working on, but most of us don’t have any time to do anything about them. Well, this is your time to do that! It’ll take your mind away from whatever is making you unhappy and of course it’ll help you remember your happy days in the past when you used to relax more often.
    Think long and hard. I’m sure you must be doing this already, but I want you to think about the effect that forgiving other people could have. Think about whether you are ready to accept the changes this might bring.
    Write about your feelings. Most people are too lazy to write, but it is often the best way to clear your mind. Write about your experiences and then forget about your past memories. On the Internet there are thousands of places where you can list out all your experiences without writing down your real name.
    Make a start on this and I’m sure the frequency of your worries will decrease soon enough.
    56. The passage is mainly about ______.
    A. how to forget bad past memories            B. how to do the things we love
    C. learning to accept changes                      D. writing about past memories

    A. it will take our minds away                    B. we don’t have any time
    C. it will recollect our memories                 D. it is easier said than done

    Finally, this week’s comedy “Tomorrow’s Another Day” at the Cambridge MGM cinema, is another one in the long line of successes from director Peter Hamin.
