16.There are many older people in the world and there will be many more.A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries.Accor ding to the World Health Organization,by 2020 there will be 1 billion,with over 700 million living in developing countries.
 It is a surprising fact that th e population aging is particularly rapid in developing countries.For example,it took France 115 years for the rate of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent.It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.
 What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk?One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live,the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability.Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible,including during old age,to lessen the financial burden on the state.
 Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society.In some African countries,certainly in Asia,older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge.Yet traditions are fading away daily,which does not make sure the continued high regard of older people.As society changes,attitudes will change.
 Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination in employment.Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.
 Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people.Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.
5.The rate of older peopleC.
A.is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries
B.is one-seventh of the population in developing countries
C.will increase much faster in China than in France
D.will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020
6.According to passage,which of the following are governments most worried about?
A
A.The diseases and disability of older people.B.The longer life and good health of people.
C.The loss of taxes on older people.D.The increasing  respect for older people.
7.Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?D
A.Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.
B.Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.
C.Making sure adequate income protection for older people.
D.Providing free health care for sick older people.
8.The author concludes in the last paragraph thatB.
A.governments have spent lots of time in solving the aging problem
B.population aging is a hard problem,but it needs to be solved urgently
C.people are too busy to solve the population aging problem
D.much time and effort will be lost in solving the aging problem.
6.Once upon a time,lion,the king of woods came to God and said,"Thank you,my Lord!You have given me a perfect physique (体格) and let me control the whole woods."Hearing this,the God smiled."But your purpose for coming here should not merely be this.It seems that you are embarrassed by something."
Then,the lion made a short roar."Yes,my Lord!How considerate you are!As a matter of fact,I do need your help.Although I'm strong,I have been frightened by the cry of the cock every morning.My lord,please make the cock not cry every morning!"Instead of answering the lion's request,God said,"You can turn to the elephant,and he will give you a satisfying explanation."
The lion ran to the elephant with joy.But he found the elephant was stamping(跺脚) with anger when he got there."What makes you so angry?""An annoying mosquito has been trying to get into my ear.It almost makes me mad."
The lion left the elephant and understood the meaning of the God.
Everybody will meet embarrassment in his or her life,no matter how strong or mighty he or she is.Most of the time,others cannot help us.It is unnecessary and useless to blame the unfairness of the world.There are positive aspects at any time.Embarrassment can become opportunity if you try to face and enjoy it.It is also opportunity for you to surpass(超越) yourself.

21.According to the text,the reason why the lion came to the God is thatA.
A.he turned to the God for help
B.He begged the God to punish the cock
C.he praised the God for giving him so much
D.He sought God's advice on how to make the cock not cry himself
22.How do you understand the underlined part"the meaning of the God"in Paragraph 4?D
A.Learn to tolerate whatever other may do to you.
B.Treat others the same way you are treated by others.
C.Believe in whoever will help you when you are in need of help.
D.When meeting embarrassment in life,you cannot always get help from others.
23.The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph probably refers toB.
A.the meaning of God       
B.embarrassment in life
C.unfairness of the world     
D.opportunity you get in life
24.The author's purpose of writing the passage is most likely toC.
A.entertain  
B.inform   
C.persuade   
D.describe.
13.There is something very wrong with the system of values in a society that has only unkind terms (措辞) like nerds and geeks for the intellectually curious and academically serious people.
We all know what a nerd is:someone who wears thick glasses and ugly clothes; someone who knows all the answers to the chemistry or math homework but can never get a date on a Saturday night.And a geek,according to Webster's New Word Dictionary,is a street performer who shocks the public by biting off heads of live chickens.It is an obvious fact about our language and our culture that someone who is devoted to pursuit (追求) of knowledge is compared to such a strange person.
Even at a famous educational institution like Harvard,anti-intellectualism (反智主义) is widespread:Many students are ashamed to admit,even to their friends,how much they study.The same thing happens in U.S.primary and high schools.
Enough is enough.The anti-intellectual values that have spread throughout American society must be fought.There are very few countries in the world where anti-intellectualism runs as high in popular culture as it does in the US.In the most industrialized nations,especially in East Asia,a kid who studies hard is praised.But in America,average professional ballplayers are much more respected and better paid than professors of the best universities.
How can a country where typical parents are ashamed of their children studying mathematics instead of going dancing be expected to compete in the technology race with Japan?How long can America remain a world-class power if we constantly put social skills and physical strength over academic achievement and intellectual ability?
Do we really expect to stay afloat largely by bringing in our scientists and intellectuals from abroad,as we have done for a major part of this country without making an effort to also develop a pro-intellectual (有利于知识分子的) culture at home?
Not until the words"nerd"and"geek"become terms of praise rather than insults 
(侮辱) do we have a promising future.
21.What is the meaning of the words"nerd"and"geek"in this passage?B
A.They are used in the U.S.to describe students from other countries.
B.They are insulting terms which are used to describe smart students.
C.A nerd is a good student and a geek is a poor student.
D.Nerds and geeks are proper descriptions of strange students.
22.What can be learnt from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?C
A.The US government doesn't mean to spend much money on education.
B.Few students work hard for their grade in famous universities like Harvard.
C.Anti-intellectualism is not popular in industrialized countries in East Asia.
D.Professors earn more than professional basketball players on average in the US.
23.What is probably the author's attitude towards the present society's anti-intellectualism?C
A.Proud           
B.Supportive        
C.Unconcerned      
D.Anxious 
24.What can be a suitable title for the text?D
A.What is anti-intellectualism?
B.Why does society avoid nerds?
C.Don't laugh at nerds.
D.America needs its nerds.
11.How to Sleep Better
If you're having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning,waking up more than once,for example),this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.
1.Get on schedule.Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality.(36)F For example,if you normally wake up at 6am on weekdays to get to work,you might go to bed around 10pm,because that's when you start to feel sleepy,and it's also a good time to ensure 8hours of sleep.If,on the weekend,you sleep until 9am,you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until 1am.
2.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.(37)D Digestion slows down while asleep,and a full stomach may interrupt sleep.Similarly,you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach,as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
3.(38)B Exposure to light during the time when you're supposed to be sleeping can destroy your body's internal clock.Turn your light off,or use a very dim(暗淡的) night light.(39)A  They include windows,LED clocks and computer lights.
4.Change your sleeping position.You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren't fully aware of what you are doing,but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference.(40)G

A.Try to avoid all sources of light.
B.Keep the room as dark as possible.
C.Make note of unusual circumstances.
D.Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.
E.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F.In other words,sudden change of sleeping time will affect your"biological clock".
G.If you wake up in the middle of the night,make an effort to have a comfortable position.
