Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to sixteen received a full

financial education got lost in the “wash up". An application is calling on the

next government to bring it back.

    At school the children are taught to add up and subtract（减法）  but,

extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account-let alone

how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.

    Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin

Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial

education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children

from five to sixteen should be taught about everything from pocket money to

pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the children,

schools and families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called

¨wash-up" earlier this month-the rush to legislation before parliament was

dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always

been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.

    As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits

of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven to ll-year-olds are savers

but by the time they get t0 17, over half of them are in debt to family and

friends. By this age, 26% see a credit or overdraft（透支）as a way of extending

their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much

harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have been fallen many of

their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education

while at school".

    The UK has been in the worst financial recession（衰退）for generations. It

does seem odd that-unless parents step in-young people are left in the dark

until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at

university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial

education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.

21. The passage is mainly about

    A. how to manage school lessons

    B. how to deal with the financial crisis

    C. teaching young people about money

    D. teaching students how to study effectively

22. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that

    A. the author complains about the school education

    B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract

    C. students have been taught to manage their finances

     D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out

23. The website and the consumer campaigner joined to

    A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money

    B. promote the connection of schools and families

    C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament

     D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education

Travelling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things.      36   The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.

Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you.   37 

Another great benefit is the relaxation you get.    38 

When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.

   39 

 They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship/relationship. You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic (对往事怀恋的) you can experience the trips again by looking at your pictures.

It’s never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end.    40 

With the Internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.

A. It’s nice to enjoy a stress-free time.

B. As the saying goes, you never know what you have until you lose it.

C. When traveling with friends or family it creates memories of a lifetime.

D. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting.

E. Going on a trip means that you are most likely going to spend time outside.

F. However, there are still many budget airlines fighting for your dollar right now.

G. There are many benefits other than enjoying yourself that can be realized when you travel.

The Human Development Report, published annually since 1990, seeks to __50__ “human development” around the world and calculates a “Human Development Index” (HDI 人类发展指数) for 169 countries. The HDI is __51__ on average income, life expectancy, and level of education. __52__, rich countries tend to have higher HDIs than poor countries, but there are interesting __53__ in human development among countries with similar levels of economic development, because some have better health and education systems than others.

Almost every country in the world has a higher HDI than in 1990, despite the fact that since the 2008 financial crisis the total number of people living in extreme __54__ has increased. The report concludes that most people are healthier, live longer, are more __55__, — and that even in countries with severe economic problems, people’s health and education have generally __56__. Although sub-Saharan African countries are at the bottom of the pile __57__ human development, some of them have made significant progress since 1990. The report is __58__, however, of the fact that economic inequality has increased significantly in the last twenty years, both within and between countries.

The greatest threat to HDI in the future, according to the report, is climate change. The way to increase average income in a country is through economic growth, which means increased production and __59__.

If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.      36．

◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down?    37．    But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.

◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten.     38．     You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.

◆     39．    After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.

◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it.      40．  In the end, you will expand your ideas.

A. I often experienced that myself.

B. It trains you to express your thoughts.

C. It allows you to see your progress over time.

D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

E. Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.

F. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.

G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year — and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets — not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

    If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

    Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items(物品) for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

    What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping — big-box retailers especially —in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

    I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

72. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in          .

A. its business-to-business service        B. its big size

C. its not charging small sellers           D. its low price

73. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage?

   A. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.

   B. Alibaba will continue to develop.

C. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.

D. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.

74. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail. 

B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.

C. TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.

D. The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.

 She often shares her deepest thoughts and fears with friends through QQ, as if they______   chatting in her living room.

Stephen Glenn is a famous American research scientist who has made several very important medical breakthroughs. Many people were dying to know the secrets to his fantastic achievements.  To unveil the mystery, a newspaper reporter interviewed him asking why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others? 

Having assumed to hear wordings like innate curiosity for science or hard work, the reporter was surprised to have him respond that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about four years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor - a real sea of milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or chastising him, she said, "Steve, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pond of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Steve, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!

This renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment ‘doesn't work,’we usually learn something valuable from it.

Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Steve's mother responded to him?

66. According to the passage, a newspaper interviewed Stephen Glenn in order to ______.

   A. persuade him to treat some dying patients            

   B. find out his differences with ordinary people

   C. hear about his opinions about medical science

   D. know about why he was so successful

67. According to the passage, the underlined word ‘chastise’ is closest in meaning to ______.

   A. pursuing        B. punishing       C. praising        D. educating

68. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

   A. Steve spilled the milk bottle to make a milk sea on purpose.

   B. Steve’s mother allowed him to play some time with the spilled milk.

   C. Steve’s mother let him choose the tool himself to clean up the milk

   D. Steve’s mother led him to try out ways to tightly hold the milk bottle.

69. What ordinary mothers can learn from Steve’s mother is that ______.

   A. never put milk bottle where little kids can get hold of

   B. appreciation of kids’ behaviours is important to their growth

   C. mothers should teach kids to learn from their own mistakes

   D. kids should learn to become scientists from childhood.

If you’re locking into your career plans, college counselor Nancy has three words for you: Don’t do it. Actually, Nancy isn’t the only counselor advising students to take their time in discovering who they are and what they want to do when they get out of college.

“Preparing broadly makes sense to me,” she explains, “and that the best preparation for a future that is still unfolding, is a broad preparation. It shouldn’t prevent you from following areas that light you up, but a broad preparation will prepare you for multiple careers.” That’s important because jobs change more frequently due to changes in technology and business competition. Some jobs that are available today may be on their way out in 10 years. “The best thing about preparing broadly is that you get to live in a big world,” says Nancy. “You avoid getting stuck in a job or business area, and if your job becomes out of date, you can move on.”

Many students make the mistake of working on "the next step in front of them," avoiding time to explore their interests or reflect on what they're learning about themselves. For example, students will look at a college and try to figure out what the college is looking for in a student. Then they try to remake themselves into that student, even though it might go against who they really are.

Students let the “next-step mentality” hold back their learning as well. Many students don’t take courses outside their comfort zone for fear it will ruin their GPA(平均成绩) and their chances of getting into a certain college. “You may be unwilling to go outside your areas of strength for fear you’ll get a low grade,” says Nancy. “But if you think one grade in one class will ruin your chances of admission, you’re doing harm to yourself. Colleges look at a number of factors in addition to grades. Students often think requirements of colleges are much stricter and narrower than they really are.”

Since colleges work to admit a diverse group of students, the best thing to do is be yourself and explore your options. There are many people in their late 20s who are unhappy in their careers and who regret that they didn’t pursue a wider range of interests while in college.

32. Nancy’s advice is based on ______.

   A. Rising unemployment                         B. Strict college requirements

   C. A fast-changing job market                       D. A lower academic performance

33. What does the underlined phrase “comfort zone” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

   A. Their career plans.                                   B. Their favorite courses.

   C. The jobs they dream of.                       D. The subjects they are good at.

34. According to the text, which of the following is a “next-step mentality”?

A. Studying to meet a certain job requirements when in college.

B. Spending time exploring interests while learning.

C. Taking new courses in varied fields.

D. Reading all types of books.  

35. Who will probably find the text most helpful?

A. Business managers.    B. Job seekers.    C. College students.    D. Employees.

Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The December exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends in Purple Girls Club for a get-together. “

As Farah left the kitchen，her father called her from the living room.

Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah, what has happened to your grades？You have failed in Mathematics. You were a good student and I had such high hopes for you, my girl. ”her father shook his head.

Farah had no answer. She loved her father very much and hated to see such look in his eyes. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.

Farah decided to turn to her friends for help. One by one, she called her so-called friends in Purple Girls Club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help. Farah sat sadly on her bed and then made up her mind . She knew only one person would help her. She went downstairs and went to the house across the street.

Hafsa opened the door and welcome her in. “If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your exams,” she said.

Next Monday，as two friends entered the school together，Gina the leader of Purple Girls Club saw them and called out “Farah, you know our rules. You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.”

When students read articles about scientific discovery, they learn what worked. Scientists present the methods that got the best result. They often show only the results that are significant and important. What they won’t show are the mistakes or failures that came first. Yet sometimes those mistakes pointed the way to success.

It can take a long time and many experiments to achieve scientific success.Robbin, 16, and Annabelle, 15, learned that while working this summer in a biochemistry lab at Stony Brook University in New York.What’s more, they learned that failure is not necessarily something to fear.  

“I like the idea of scientific research,”says Robbin. It’s the basis for“every lesson you learn in school and understanding everything you see in life.” This summer, Robbin has been working with Lauren, a chemistry student, who is making new drugs to fight harmful bacteria. At first, the tests made Robbin anxious. She worried that she might be making costly mistakes. But Lauren reassured her that finding out what doesn’t work is “just part of the learning process”. With time, the teen got comfortable with the idea that every experiment wouldn’t succeed.

Annabelle also learned a lot about failure and success. She worked with graduate student Agnieszka Gil.“Sometimes I try something and it takes a while for the experiment to run.”This means that finding out whether Annabelle did something wrong can be a stressful waiting game, because “if you did something wrong you need to do it again.” But she’s now learning to be patient and not to expect instant success. In science, figuring out why something failed is what may just put them on the road to success.  

32. What impresses students most in articles about scientific discovery?

　　A. Scientists achievements.　　        B. The reasons for success.

　　C. The cause of mistakes.　　         D. Stressful process of research.

33. What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Robbin is a graduate student.        B. Lauren managed to make new drugs.

    C. Annabelle learns the value of patience.  D. Agnieszka expected an instant success.

34. What did Robbin and Annabelle have in common in their experiments?

    A. They did their experiments independently.

    B. They realized not all experiments would succeed.

    C. They assisted graduate students to make new drugs.

    D. They made severe mistakes in the experiments.

35. What does the writer intend to tell us?

　　A. The cause of making errors in science.

　　B. The significance of scientific discovery.

　　C. The importance of doing experiments.

　　D. The correct attitudes towards failures.

The malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones. Some of the malls remained open around the clock, partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts. 

Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring, being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives. However, to use a well-worn play on words: it is our presence, not our presents, that truly counts. Many of us, unfortunately, can be so inattentive, even in the presence of our loved ones, that we might as well not be there at all. 

Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time. Whole industries — media, entertainment, education — rely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence. A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be psychologically unhealthy. 

In earlier times, both diet and attention could be left unregulated (没人管的) without major cause for concern. There were natural checks and balances: limited availability of food meant few got fat, for example. Similarly, in bygone times we might have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller; today, watching an entire TV series, while speaking to nobody, is common. In traditional societies, with smaller population, everyone would get a fair deal of attention. On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa; now we have Google and Wikipedia. 

“She just wants attention.” people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention. But the truth is that human beings need attention, and giving attention to each other is, to a large extent, what human civilization is based upon. This perhaps explains the runaway success of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. While we use such sites for “micro Hogging”, “idea voicing” and “status updates” — the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange. 

I friend you, you friend me, I retweet you, you retweet me. The charming ease with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smart phones. It is also a vicious (恶性的) circle. As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online, there is increasingly less attention to be paid in the real world, which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online, or else risk attention-starvation. 

The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed, and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, so it is with too much attention exchange. The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible; heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The consequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social, and so may take longer to identify, but they will be equally damaging. 

Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer, and therefore more valuable. In a sense it is priceless. And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round. 

59.  People use social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook to __________. 

 A. obtain information                      B. give attention to others 

 C. voice their opinions                     D. notice and get noticed

60.  What can we infer from Paragraphs 6-7? 

 A. More people will risk attention-starvation in future. 

 B. The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed. 

 C. Technological advancement contributes to all diseases.

 D. Transformed attention exchanges do harm to society.                                            

61.  The writer’s purpose for writing the passage is to __________. 

 A. advocate more focus on real life attention        B. analyze the necessity of attention giving

C. give practical tips on attention exchange   D. recommend some social networking sites

The sentence，which puzzled John，was also     me and we had to turn to our English teacher for help.

Do’s and Don’ts of Donating

Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a regular basis.   36  Here are 10 do's and don'ts of donating your belongings.

Do Prep Your Clothes

You've thoroughly cleaned out your closets and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated．Before you bag up these pieces,  inspect each one to ensure that they’ re in good condition．Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can't see any stains.  37   

Don’t Donate Damaged Items

The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it' s in good,  useable condition. Don’t pass along clothes or furniture with rips（裂口 ）or stains,  chipped dishes,  books that are missing pages, or games with lost pieces.  38  Find a local company that will recycle these items instead.

Do Donate More Than Just Clothes

  39  Stuffed animals, framed pictures, unused candles, small power tools, sports equipment, ornaments, baskets, blenders, dishes, glassware, utensils, silverware, pots and pans, curtains, blankets, toasters, mixers, pillows, towels, bed sheets, bikes, and exercise equipment are much sought after donations.

      40
