阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents
in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people
when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is
entering a new stage of an aging society.
An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population.
“China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.
As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country’s total working population will decrease after 2015.
China is not the only country getting old. More that 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen.
However, experts said that China doesn’t have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.
56．An aging society is a society that        .
A．less that 10% of its population is over 60
B．10% or more of its population is over 60
C．there are four old people in a family
D．most of its population is over 60
57．If China enters an aging society,      .
A．there will not be enough labor resources
B．the family planning policy will be ended
C．everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old people
D．China will have a highly developed social security network
58．What does Cai Chuang mean by saying “China is getting old before becoming rich.”?
A．China will be an aging society, then be a developed country.
B．China will be a rich country before being an aging society.
C．An aging society will affect Chinese economy development.
D．China will stop developing because of its aging problem.
59．The passage mainly talks about         .
A．an aging society             B．Chinese social problem
C．family panning policy     D．aging problem in China

第三部分：阅读理解.(共15小题：每小题2分，30分)
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并将该答案写在答卷上。
A
To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day… they will lose all taste of learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, cooking, working on computers, studying French, playing the piano, climbing trees, or just running around.Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget (预算，经费), and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.

58 What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?
A. They love learning.         
B. They are very naughty.
C. They want to be outside all the time.
