13.My friend,Peg,and I were seeking evidence that there were people who were treating our soil,our waters,our air with the love and respect they deserved.And we found it.
One day we saw a busload of school children on an outing.The bus had stopped at a hamburger stand where we were having a rest,and half-a-hundred children poured out.Busloads of children,of course,were not new,and I hardly gave them more than a glance until I realized what they were doing.Chatting and laughing,the children were picking up as much waste as they could carry from around the stand and its parking area.They took the waste to their bus,where several bags had been brought out for the waste.
Within five minutes,before our astonished eyes,that parking lot had been picked c lean.Impressed,I walked over to their teacher."I'm interested,"I began."In fact,I'm surprised at how those kids worked this place over.Is this some kind of environment protection class?"
"You'd never guess it,"he said,"but we're a history class."
"A history class?"
"That's right.We're on our way from Boston to visit Fort(城堡) Ticonderoga.Before the trip,one of the things we tried to find out was how the Ticonderoga countryside looked back in old days,"he said."In fact,we made a little table display of the scene,using toy buildings and toy trees.When one kid jokingly suggested we ought to put a few bottles and cans around to make it look real,the others blamed him.But the boy argued that he bet Ticonderoga would look like that today.Besides,if they thought it was so funny,were they prepared to clean it up if he was right?The class decided,however,that the entire fort might be too big a task to do.But they agreed to clean up any roadside area where they stopped on their way to the fort.And so that's what they did!"
41.How did the author feel when he understood what the kids were doing?A
A.Amazed.
B.Bored.
C.Disappointed.
D.Unconcerned.
42.Why were the students going to Fort Ticonderoga?A

1.The easy way out isn't always the easiest.I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug,my husband of one month,to a special meal.I glanced through my cook book and chose a menu which included homemade bread.Knowing the bread would take time,I started on it as soon as Doug left for work.As I was not experienced in cooking,I thought if a dozen was good,two dozen would be better,so I doubled everything.
As Doug loved oranges,I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl.Soon there was a sticky dough (生面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks.Realizing I had been defeated,I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work.
I went on preparing the rest of the meal,and,when Doug got home,we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice.He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed.Twice he got up and went outside,saying he thought he heard a noise.The third time he left,I went to the window to see what he was doing.Looking out,I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin,holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container.
When I came out of the house,he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin.Picking up the stick again,he held the lid up enough for me to see.I felt cold.But I stepped closer and looked harder.Without doubt it was my work.The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as if it were breathing.I had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there.I didn't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing-Doug or me.
21.The author's purpose in writing this story isB.
A.to show the easiest way out of a difficulty
B.to tell an interesting experience
C.to describe how easy it was to make bread
D.to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books
22.When Doug went out the third time,the woman looked out of the window because she wasD.
A.surprised at his being interested in the bin
B.afraid that he would discover her secret
C.unhappy that he didn't enjoy the meal
D.curious to know what disturbed him
23.What made the dough in the rubbish bin look frightening?A
A.The shaking and sighing movement.
B.The strange-looking appearance.
C.A small dog inside the bin.
D.A snake inside the bin.

8.It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation,it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly,my mother will push the conversation into World War III.She'll complain(抱怨) about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment,I don't want to do any job related to science,either.In fact,when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English and communications,she nearly had a heart attack.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I've seen my mother
struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6:30am and usually comes home around 5pm or even 6pm.However,I want her to know that by becoming a doctor,it doesn't mean I'll be successful.I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

8.A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their Lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a quashing of the system we want for our society.I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
      First,employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees.To make this possible,a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees,it may softer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual.This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement.This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years.This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition,the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly.This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions.Furthermore,some institution should be created for senior daises,which can help provide a comfortable life for them.Unfortunately,as the present situation in our country shows,this is not a trulyviableanswer.The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly,particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up,all these options have advantages and disadvantages.Therefore,it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.

46.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.The problems faced by the old in society.
B.Why we should take responsibility for the old.
C.How we can improve the lives of the old.
D.Where the old can go to get their pensions.
47.According to the passage,how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?D
A.Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B.Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C.Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D.Make available pensions for those who have retired.
48.The underlined word"viable"most probably means"B".
A.impossible      
B.practical       
C.useful          
D.successful
49.What can be concluded from the passage?D
A.Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.
B.Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
C.Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.
D.There is no single solution to the problems of the old.
50.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this article?B
A.To point out the need for government supped for old people.
B.To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.
C.To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
D.To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.
