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.

A．less that 10% of its population is over 60

2.If China enters an aging society, __________.

3.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.

Men usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can have his own way all the time. A man cannot live in society without considering the interests(利益) of others as well as his own interests. “Society” means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust(不公平) or harmful to others. One man’s decisions may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friend’s house. He sets out, driving at full speed like a competitor in a motor race. There are other vehicles and also pedestrians (行人) on the road. Suddenly there is a crash. There are screams and confusion. One careless motorist has struck another car. The collision(碰撞) has injured two of the passengers and killed the third. Too many road accidents happen through the thoughtlessness of selfish drivers.

We have governments, the police and the law courts to prevent or to punish such criminal acts. But in addition, all men ought to observe certain rules of conduct. Every man ought to behave with consideration for other men. He ought not to steal, cheat, or destroy the property(财产) of others. There is no place of this sort of behavior in a civilized society.

51. A man cannot have his own way all the time because________.

A California family drives a car that could help protect the environment. When Jon and Sandy go to the store or to their daughters’ soccer games, they drive in high-tech style. They drive a $1 million, fuel-cell-powered car. It may be the world’s most expensive car and one of the most environmentally friendly cars. The FCX is the first fuel-cell-powered car to be used by a family anywhere in the world. The FCX uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel. Car makers have been working to develop vehicles that are better for the environment. They are developing cars that use fuel other than gasoline. And then what is fuel cell technology? Fuel cell technology works by changing the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water. This process produces electricity, and water vapor which comes out of the exhaust pipe. Most cars release dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Many scientists say these gases are major contributors to global warming. “The FCX is driven just like any other vehicle on the road, but without the gases which pollute the environment,” scientists say. Fuel cell technology has been around since the 1800s, but scientists have yet been to perfect it. They say it may take years before the technology is ready for widespread use. Another earth-friendly car is already on the market. Hybrid cars use both gasoline and an electric motor. They are becoming more popular with customers because they cut pollution and improve fuel efficiency.

46. Which of the following about the FCX is not true?

A. It may be the most expensive car in the world.

B. It is one of the most environmentally friendly cars.

C. It releases dangerous gases to pollute the air.

D. It uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel other than gasoline.

47. According to the passage, what is the major cause for global warming?

A. Gases from FCX. B. Water vapor from cars.

C. Hydrogen and oxygen. D. Gases from cars.

48. From the passage, we know that fuel cell technology ______.

A. works by water B. has a history for over two hundred years

C. works by electricity D. has been widely used since the 1800s

49. We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. future cars will be environmentally friendly

B. there will be no gasoline for cars

C. people can’t afford to buy cars in the future

D. global warming has been stopped

50. Hybrid cars are popular because ______.

A. they are the fuel-cell-powered cars

B. they are energy-saving and cut pollution

C. they are perfect cars in the world

D. they produce no gases to pollute the environment

TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it will be swallowed up by the sea.

Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.

But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes Tuvalu’s rising sea level.

The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.

Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川) melt, and adds more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years.

The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.

Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.

Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.

68. We can infer from the second paragraph that .

A. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea

B. all Tuvalu’s islands are about five meters above the sea level

C. drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed

D. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves

69. Put the following events in the right order.

a. Glaciers began to melt. b. People burn coal ,oil and gas.

c. The greenhouse effect is growing. d. The earth is getting warmer and warmer

e. The sea level is rising. f. More CO2 is produced.

A. d,f,b,c,a,e,g B. b,f,c,d,e,a,g C. f,c,b,d,a,e,g D. b,f,c,d,a,e,g

70. What does “climate refugees” mean?

A. Climate changes. B. Climate effect.

C. People forced away from their homeland by climate.

D. Rare animals moving from place to place for climate changes.

71 Which of the following is False according to the passage?

A. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years for warmer temperatures.

B. The average global temperature has risen by 1-3 centigrade degrees over the past 100 years.
