         According to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay
    and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an
    impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem.
         The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children,
    and infants. Its members are from all ethnic groups. What they have in common is poverty.
         Currently in the U S, thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent
    or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as
    one homeless man explains, you can't pay the rent with food stamps.
         With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative.
         Although men constitute the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children
    are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the US are teenagers and young children. 
         People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these
    individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers
    and adults have not completed high school. The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor. One third
    of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol. While one quarter of the same group uses drugs.
         Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many
    institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent "home". Unfortunately, a number of those
    people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves.
         Job loss in today's economy has also become a real factor in the loss of people's homes. The breakup of
    families through abandonment and divorce are also contributing factors, particularly when there are children
    involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the
    homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads.
    1. The writer thinks that the US government's definition for the homeless reveals _____.
    A. an insincere attitude toward the homeless
    B. an unbearable attitude toward the homeless
    C. an uncivilized attitude toward the homeless
    D. an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless
    2. The US government helps the homeless by _____.
    A. giving them homeless allowance
    B. giving them food stamps
    C. finding jobs for them
    D. finding residence for them
    3. People become homeless for all the following reasons EXCEPT _____.
    A. the lack of adequate education
    B. the abuse of alcohol and drugs
    C. the closure of institutions for the mentally ill
    D. the poor performance of economy
    4. The breakup of families is likely to lead to homelessness because a parent with kids may _____.
    A. lose his or her job in today's economy
    B. be unable to look after the kids
    C. not have enough income
    D. find residence at a homeless shelter
    1-4: D B D C

    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。
    David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.
    But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon（跟腱）which means he could be out of action for around six months. With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.
    The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league. After attempting to kick the ball he collapsed to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered（被担架抬走）away.
    It is not yet known whether he has completely severed（切断）his Achilles tendon or only torn it. The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.
    England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.
    "We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement. "I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.
    "David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."
    Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed（共鸣）Capello's words of support:
    "It is a horrible situation for Beckham. I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.
    David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.
    Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.
    Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.
    If he could repeat the same feat，in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.
    So, perhaps all is not lost. Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:
    "You never want to write off（排除）David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back（恢复原状）."
    56．What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Beckham had a dream?
    B．Beckham—a great football player!
    C．The end for Beckham?
    D．World Cup in South Africa!
    57．What does the author mean by saying “missing it will be a big blow?”
    A．Missing the World Cup will be a big success.
    B．Missing Beckham means a great failure.
    C．Missing Beckham means an important opportunity for the American club LA Galaxy.
    D．Missing the World Cup means a big disappointment for Beckham.
    58．We may infer from the passage that____________
    A．Beckham will definitely not be able to play football again
    B．Beckham was cured by a great knee specialist he found
    C．Beckham has his ability to bounce back

    阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
         [1] Doctors may soon have some suggestions for health that even kids will like: more playtime. European
    and international health experts say a new study makes the most convincing case for the benefits of children
    being active. They say the research may lead to new guidelines saying youngsters aged between 5 and 16 need
    to be active up to 1.5 hours a day.
         [2] Experts said the study doesn't mean children need to be on treadmills (跑步机) or in a soccer
    leagues-they just need to be able to run around and play physically, even for short bursts of time.
         [3] The study looked at 1,732 9-year-olds and 15-year-olds from Denmark, Estonia and Portugal. Physical
    activity was observed for four continuous days. Despite differences among the three coun- tries where children were observed, the benefits of physical activity were the same.
         [4] About 40 percent of those observed were reasonably ac- tive, while the rest were sedentary, researchers said. The study found that the benefits of physical activity applied to all children- not just to obese ( 肥胖的)
    children normally thought to be at a higher risk.
         [5] While much attention has been paid to children's bad eat- ing habits,this study calls for equal weight to
    be placed on activity levels.
         [6] "We don't need to be getting kids running on treadmills in the gym." said Cavil."We need to encourage
    kids to play." One of the study's key findings, he explained, is that it proves the benefit of short bursts of activity, rather than a need for continuous exercises.
         [7] But _____ perhaps the greatest factor in children's physical activ- ity will be the parents themselves."It's
    not just that children should be more active,it's the whole family," said Weiss."Parents should be role models."
    1. What idea can we get from the researchers' finding in the pas- sage?( No more than 15words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    2. What do you think parents should do to help their kids?( No more than 15 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    3. What do the children need to do to follow the doctors' sugges- tion?( No more than 15 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    4. Please explain the underlined word in English.( Only one word)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.

         On a recent morning in Clearwater, Florida, Maja Kazazic jumped down into water. From a distance, the
    dolphin seemed friendly enough. Still, Kazazic felt a little panic slide into her excitement. In spite of her fear,
    she felt strong wearing her new leg.
         In second grade in Bosnia, Kazazic lost her cousin, Jasmina. Kazazic promised she would honor Jasmina
    by swimming with a dolphin, an animal that both girls loved. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says
    Kazazic,"so I decided that someday I'd do it for her."
         However, in 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut just below
    the knee and she received her first artificial (人工的) leg in the US. Because there was so little bone left, and
    with her right leg also damaged, walking was rather painful, but she managed to graduate from college. She
    was able to play golf or tennis.
         Then one day a young dolphin, Winter, who had lost her tail, caught Kazazic's eye. Trainers were fitting
    Winter with a high-tech tail. When they were done, Winter dashed off through the water.
         Kazazic was excited. If she can do this, there's no way I can't, she thought. Within ten days, she had a
    new leg with the help of the inventor. Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise. "After being
    in a war, this should be a piece of cake," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. Then and there the
    two went on an hour-long swim around the pool.
         When Kazazic climbed out, she quietly said, "I feel like I owed (欠) somebody something, and now I've
    paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and cried till she lost her voice.
    1. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Kazazic's Promise.
    B. Jasmina's Death.
    C. Kazazic's Debt.
    D. A Dolphin's Tail.
    2. What does the underlined word "panic" mean in the first paragraph?
    [     ]
    A. Fear.
    B. Surprise.
    C. Excitement.
    D. Satisfaction.
    3. Which is the correct order of the following events?
        a. Kazazic was treated and received a new leg in the US.
        b. Kazazic made a promise to swim with a dolphin.
        c. Jasmina died in Bosnia when Kazazic was in second grade.
        d. Kazazic overcame difficulties and carried out her promise.
        e. Kazazic was badly injured in her legs during the war.
    [     ]
    A. b, c, e, a, d
    B. b, e, c, d, a
    C. c, b, e, a, d
    D. c, e, b, d, a
    4. Kazazic cried in her car after she swam with the dolphin because _____.
    [     ]
    A. she was sad her cousin couldn't do it with her
    B. she was excited her promise had come true
    C. she was afraid she would lose the other leg
    D. she was proud she didn't owe money to anybody
