54题答案:工 推理题.文章说You should not be upset(不安的)if your English friends don't invite you home(你不必因为你的英语朋友没邀请你而感到不安),后面接着说明原因 It doesn't mean they don't like you(这并不意味着他们不喜欢你),故最有可能就是他们也喜欢你,故选A.
55题答案:A 细节题,文章讲了很多礼貌的行为,后面提到it's not polite to ask how much things cost,故问价格是不礼貌的,选A.
56题答案:B 细节题.由于用了start …then….and then…followed by coffee等表示先后的词,但最后落到了coffee上面,故选B.
57题答案:A细节题 从Ask your hosts(主人)what time you should arrive可知A正确,外国人最讲究准时,其它三个答案并没有提到,选A.

2.阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章后第62到71小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.
A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible(有责任的) for our elderly and how to improve their lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society.I would like to suggest several possible ways to this problem.
First,employers(雇主) should take the responsibility for their retired(退休的) employees.To make this possible,1% of profits(利润) should be left for this purpose.But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees,it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage because of higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual(个人).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 find that it's difficult for them to pay 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.The government could provide more money through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(养老金).What's more,some institutions(社会福利机构) should be created for senior citizens,which can help provide a comfortable life for them.Unluckily,as the present situation in our country shows,this is not a truly practical answer.The government doesn't have enough money 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 set up some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
In short,all these measures have advantages and disadvantages.Therefore,we are expecting to combine(结合)these measures so that we can provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
