    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today,10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society (社会) in many ways —education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the growing of America has made us a very different society —one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
    A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position (职位、地位), marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
    Many people say, ‘I am much younger than my mother—or my father—was at my age.’ No one says ‘ Act your age’ any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
    小题1:It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______.
    A．has made people feel younger
    B．has changed people’s social position
    C．has changed people’s understanding of age
    D．has slowed down the country’s social development
    小题2:The underlined word ‘one’ in the first paragraph refers to____.
    A．a societyB．AmericaC．a placeD．population
    小题3:."Act your age " in the last paragraph means people should ______.
    A．be active when they are old
    B．do the right thing at the right age
    C．show respect for their parents young or the old
    D．take more physical exercise suitable to their age
    小题4:If a 20-year-old man becomes general manager of a big company, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ______.
    A．normal B．wonderful
    C．unbelievable D．unreasonable

    阅读理解。
         Mr. Green owned a few shops and was busy with his work. Once his wife had a fall and broke her leg.
    She was sent to the hospital and needed someone to look after her. They had several servants, but none of
    them could do the job. One of his friends brought a girl to Mr. Green. She looked beautiful and strong.
    Mr. Green liked her at once, and wanted to hire her.
         When the girl went out of the room, the friend said, "I hear she's a little foolish. You'd better ask her
    some questions. If she answers them well, you can hire her."
         Mr. Green agreed and called the girl in again. He asked, "What would you be a servant for?"
         "My mother is often ill," the girl said, crying, "I have to stop studying and find work. I want to get some
    money to buy some medicine for her."
         "Where's your father, then?"
         "He died last year." answered the girl.
         "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," said Mr. Green, "And how did he die?"

    capital."
         "How many times had your father been to London?"
