16．D 细节理解题．根据第三个广告的句子"Where：Cheyenne，Wyoming"，它的价格是Competition tickets start at 18，and concert tickets at 23，所以总共是41．故选D．
17．B 细节理解题．根据第四个广告的句子"This year's performances include Wagner's"The Flying Dutchman"and Verdi's"King for a Day"，"它的标题是The Glimmerglass Festival．故选B．
18．B 推理判断题．文章是四个艺术方面节日的广告，所以出自网站的艺术版面．故选B．
19．D 细节理解题．根据该段的This area is better known for mountain biking than for music以及it has hosted a private festival that brings classical，jazz，Latin and other types of music to the land．可知Moab Music Festival不仅可以欣赏音乐表演，而且因为该地区以骑山地自行车而出名，所以你还能学到骑山地车技术，故选D．

点评 本文是广告布告类阅读，主要考查细节理解题和推理判断题．在做细节理解题时，首先根据题目要求迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语．认真比较选项和文中细节的区别，在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

4．Six months before she died，my grandmother moved into an old people's home and I visited her there when I was in Britain．She was sitting in the living room with about 15other residents （居住客），mostly women，half of them asleep．The room was clean and warm，with flowers and pictures，and the care assistants were kind and cheerful．All was silent except when the residents needed to be helped to the bathroom．It was depressing （压抑）．Gran talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchildren，but I knew from my sister that they hated going to visit her there，and to be frank，I couldn't wait to get away myself．
So I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France．The idea is simple，but revolutionary--combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building．The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music，painting，gardening，and caring for the pets，which the residents are encouraged to keep．In the afternoons，the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children，and if a child is feeling sad or tired，they can always find someone for comfort．
The advantages are great for everyone concerned．The children are happy because they get a lot more of free afternoon，and enjoy themselves because someone has time for them．They also learn that old people are not‘different'or frightening in any way．And of course，they see illness and death and learn to accept them．The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed．They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too．And the staff （员工） are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children．Nowadays there is less and less contact （接触） between the old and the young．"There are many reasons for this，including the breakdown of the extended family，working parents with no time to care for ageing relations，families that have moved away，and smaller flats with no room for grandparents．But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children．And more and more old people are lonely and feel useless，along with more and more families with young children who badly need more support．It's a major problem in many societies．
That's why intergenerational programmes，designed to bring the old and the young together，are growing in popularity all over the world，supported by UNESCO and other local and international organisations．There are successful examples all over the world，using young people to teach IT skills to older people and using old people as volunteer assistants in schools，perhaps reading with children who need extra attention．One successful scheme （方案） in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight．The young people help with practical things such as writing letters，reading bank statements and helping with shopping，and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors．
But it isn't only the individuals concerned who gain from intergenerational activities．The advantages to society are great too．If older people and the youth of today can understand and accept each other，there will be more harmony in a community．
64．The new concept that the writer read about in the newspaper refers toB．
A．allowing old people to help take care of children
B．building a bridge between the old and the youth
C．encouraging children to visiting old people
D．requiring more assistants to help the old people
65．What is the major problem in society today according to the passage？C
A．The breakdown of the extended family．
B．More and more old people left behind．
C．Lack of care for the old and the young．
D．Children without much care from their parents．
66．The underlined sentence in paragraph 3implies thatD．
A．the new combination can provide a lot of chances of jobs
B．actually the old people can act as assistant staff
C．children are those who get advantages most
D．more than the old people and children can get advantages．
5．Are you planning a new job or new career？（33）Even if/Even though the ongoing economic slowdown means most industries still face cutbacks（裁员），there is one field that's likely to grow steadily in the future：Health Care Field．Job opportunities in health care are on the rise and expected to increase 34% through 2018．This is due to two factors：Firstly，the American population （34）is aging/are aging （age） rapidly at present．A much （35）larger （large） population of the elderly means a huge increase in demand for medical services and the people （36）who/that provide them．
The second reason is related to technology．Our health care is getting more and more sophisticated（尖端的）．And，that means highly skilled people （37）are needed （need） by the public to deliver the service．
Put these things together （38）and you may get higher salaries than others．We all know that doctors make a lot of money．But doctors （39）must endure over 10years of schooling and hard work．
Fortunately，you don't need to become a doctor to settle into a well-paying job．There are many opportunities available，and one of the best ways to get into the field is （40）as a medical assistant．
2．One evening years ago in New York，I sat on a bench in a park and watched a little boy，around 2 years old，（61）running （run） freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance away．The boy would fall to the grass，（62）get （get） up，and without looking back  （63）at  his mother，run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened．
When kids fall down，they don't think of the fall as a failure．Instead，they consider（64）it as a learning experience．They try again and again until they succeed．While I（65）was touched（touch）by the boy's strong mind，I was also touched by the way he ran．With each attempt，he looked so confident and natural．He only wanted to run freely and to do it as（66）well（good） as he could．He was just being a child-just being himself-being completely in the moment．He never gave up．Each time he（67）fell（fall），he got himself back up again，as if he knew that falling down was（68）simply（simple）a part of life．He was not looking for others'smiles，or worrying about（69）whether someone was watching or not．He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely．I learned a lot from that experience，and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many（70）parts （part） of my life．
