         Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial
    complexes for the recycling of waste.The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that
    goes into the dumps would be made into something useful.Even the most dangerous and unpleasant
    wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
         The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw
    materials go into it and what go out.The aim is to find out how many of these raw materials could be
    provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city.This plant would recycle not only
    metal such as steel and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
         Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish.
    When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this:first, it will pass through metal bars
    which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed；then it will pass through a
    powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids；after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken.Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits
    of iron and steel; the rubbish and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
         The first fullscale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away.Indeed, with the growing cost of
    transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling
    plants before long.
    1. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
    A. show us a future way of recycling wastes
    B. tell the importance of recycling plant
    C. warn people the danger of some wastes
    D. introduce a new recycling plant
    2. How many stages are there in the recydling process?
    A. 3  
    B. 4  
    C. 5  
    D. 6
    3. What's the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?
    A. To deal with waste in a better way.
    B. It's a good way to gain profits.
    C. It's more economical (经济的) than to dump wastes in more distant places.
    D. Energy can be got at a low price.
    4. The first fullscale huge recycling plants________.
    A. have been in existence for 15 years
    B. take 15 years to build
    C. can't be built until 15 years later
    D. will remain functioning for 15 years
    1-4: ABCC

    　　In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world．The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teacher's and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good, schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available -- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.

    　　Adults often forget what a confusing pictures school can offer to a child．He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people -- of ten rather frightening looking people -- and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupils to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

    (1)According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that ________.

    [　　]

    A．they are taught by many different teachers

    B．they do not attend lessons in every subject

    C．the teachers do not want to be friendly

    D．the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils

    (2)After becoming a pupil in secondary schools, the pupil begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he ________.

    [　　]

    A．is told by his teachers to behave so

    B．is not accustomed to the life in the secondary school

    C．realizes the secondary school life requires him to act so

    D．suffers from the pressures of school work

    (3)In secondary schools every pupil having problems should first ________.

    A．know how to ask for help

    B．be freed from any pressure of academic work

    C．be able to discuss his problems in class

    D．be able to discuss his problems with any teacher

    (4)According to the passage _______.

    A．the author doubts whether the actual situation in the secondary school can encourage pupils to ask for help

    B．to judge whether a secondary school is good or not depends on what guidance and personal help it can offer

    C．adults tend to think that children are able to deal with everything in school with ease

    D．the school offers pupils nothing but confusion

    (5)In this passage about secondary schools, the author is mainly concerned about 

    A．academic standards

    B．the role of specialist teachers

    C．the training of the individual teachers

    D．the personal development of pupils

    　　I am glad to be your guest speaker today．It is a great pleasure to visit your school and to meet all of you．

    　　I would like to tell you about myself．I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years．I chose this job so that I could travel the world．And the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons．I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death．But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness．

    　　In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children．Some were as young as four years old．They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing．But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them．Within me year, she was looking after two hundred children．She clothed them, fed them and taught them．She gave them hope．

    　　Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake．In one place, I found an old lady whose house was in ruins．Her son was missing and rescue workers said there was no chance that he was still alive．But the old lady did not give up hope．For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself．She did not stop until she found her son．He was alive．

    　　Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious medical condition．He had “undergone” twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital．I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming．

    　　In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from．When my lire was difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people．

    第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题；第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
    第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题后的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    A
    Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when finacial mistakes are not very costly.
    The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
    In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
    The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
    Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
    Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
    Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.
    A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
    Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.
    41．Giving an allowance, parents should consider all the following EXCEPT_______
    A．how much the child should get each time
    B．whether the child has made a budget
    C．where the money really goes.
    D．how often a child can get it
    42．The author of the passage holds the opinion that__________
    A．what children learn by handling allowances may be beneficial in the future
    B．children can learn to set up their own business with their allowances
    C．keeping allowances in the bank is the best choice for children
    D．it is not a good idea to pay children for housework at home
    43．The underlined words “compound interest” in the passage probably mean_______.
    A．increasing curiosity to learn how to make more money
    B．stronger power to hold one’s attention to saving money
    C．money paid by the bank on your original money and the gain from it
    D．the sum of money that you earn from keeping your money in the bank
    44．What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Be Generous to Pay Your Children.      
    B．Be Wise to Avoid Financial Mistakes.
    C．Saving Allowances Does Good to Children.
    D．Allowances Help Children Learn about Money.
