C、Anyone who claims more than he has already got is very likely to get nothing at all in the future.

D、There must be something better after every piece of unpleasantness.


参考答案：C

Friends play an important part in our lives, but we don&39;t know much about how to make friends. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, races, looks and social positions. Thus it is more difficult for people to become friends if there is a big difference in age and background. However, some people don&39;t think these factors are of the most importance.


正确答案：

朋友在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色，但我们对如何交朋友却知之甚少。当我们认识人时，我们会考虑年龄、种族、外表和社会地位。因此，如果年龄和背景有很大的差异，人们就很难成为朋友。然而，有些人并不认为这些因素是最重要的。

A. they have lost their living hopes

参考答案：CABAC

Almost everyone knows the meaning of "Mr.", "Mrs.", and "Miss&q

Almost everyone knows the meaning of "Mr.", "Mrs.", and "Miss". "Mr." is used before the names of gentlemen. "Mrs." is for married women and "Miss" is for single women. But what is "Ms."?

For some time, businessmen in the US have used "Ms." before a woman's name when they do not know whether or not the woman is marrieD.Today, however, many women prefer to use "Ms." rather than "Mrs." or "Miss". The word "Mr." does not tell us whether a man is married or not. Many women think this is an advantage for men. They want to be equal to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know whether or not they are marrieD.

There are some problems with "Ms.", however. Not all women like it. Some like the older ways of doing things. Some find it difficult to pronounce. ("Ms." sounds like [miz].) Generally, young women like it better than older women do. It is difficult to know whether "Ms." will be used by more American women in the future or not. What do you think of this change?

1. Many young women prefer to use "Ms." because ________.

：A.they think themselves as good as men

B.it doesn't tell whether they're married or not

C.the word sounds more pleasant than "Mrs." does

D.the word has been used for a long time


正确答案：B

A． men would choose working women as their marriage partners

B． more women would get married to seek financial security

C． even working women would worry about their marriages

D． more people would prefer to remain single for the time being


正确答案：D
D  [解析]由第一段的“Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead.”可推出D项符合原文意思。

Who Want to Live Forever?
If your doctor could give you a drug that would let you live a healthy life for twice as long,would you take it?
The good news is that we may be drawing near to that date.Scientists have already extended the lives of flies,worms and mice in laboratories.Many now think that using genetic treatments we will soon be able to extend human life to at least 140 years.
This seems a great idea.Think of how much more time we could spend chasing our dreams,spending time with our loved ones,watching our families grow and have families of their own.
"Longer life would give us a chance to recover from our mistakes and promote long term thinking," says Dr.Gregory Stock of the University of California School of Public Health."It would also raise productivity by adding to the year we can work."
Longer lives don't just affect the people who live them.They also affect society as a whole."We have war,poverty,all sorts of issues around,and I don't think any of them would be at all helped by having people live longer,"says US bioethicist Daniel Callahan."The question is‘What will we get as a society?'I suspect it won't be a better society."
It would certainly be a very different society.People are already finding it more difficult to stay married.
Divorce rates are rising.What would happen to marriage in a society where people lived for 140 years?And what would happen to family life if 9 or 10 generations of the same family were all alive at the same time? Research into ageing may enable women to remain fertile for longer.And that raises the prospect of having 100-year-old parents,or brothers and sisters born 50 years apart.We think of an elder sibling as someone who can protect us and offer help and advice.That would be hard to do if that sibling came from a completely different generation.
Working life would also be affected,especially if the retirement age was lifted.More people would stay in work for longer.That would give us the benefits of age-skill,wisdom and good judgment.
On the other hand,more people working for longer would create greater competition for jobs.It would make it more difficult for younger people to find a job.Top posts would be dominated by the same few individuals,making career progress more difficult.And how easily would a 25 -year-old employee be able to communicate with a 1 25 -year-old boss?
Young people would be a smaller part of a society in which people lived to 140.It may be that such a society would place less importance on guiding and educating young people,and more on making life comfortable for the old.
And society would feel very different if more of its members were older.There would be more wisdom, but less energy.Young people like to move about.Old people like to sit still.Young people tend to act without thinking.Old people tend to think without acting.Young people are curious and like to cxperience different things.Old people are less enthusiastic about change.In fact,they are less,enthusiastic about everything.
The effect of anti一ageing technology is deeper than we might think.But as the science advances,we need to think about these changes now.
"If this could ever happen,then we'd better ask what kind of society we want to get,"says Daniel Callahan."We had better not go anywhere near it until we have figure those problems out."

Which of the following is implied in the sixth paragraph?
A:Marriages in the US today are quite unstable.
B:More and more people in the US today want to get married.
C:Living longer would make it easier for people to maintain their marital ties.
D:If people live longer,they would stay in marriage longer.

答案：A
解析：
由文章第三段内容可知，延长寿命让人们可以有更多的时间追逐梦想、陪伴爱人、看到自己后代的成长。第四段最后一句又指出，延长寿命还可以使我们工作更久。仅B项的内容在文中没有提到。
由文章第六段前三句的内容可知，如今人们保持婚姻越来越困难，离婚率也在上升。故本题选A。
A、C、D三项的内容都在文章第九段有所涉及，只有B项在文中没有提到。故本题选B。
由文章第十段和第十一段的内容可知，老龄化社会中，社会更关注的是使老年人生活得更安逸，变得拥有更多智慧，但少了一些活力，且缺乏对新事物的好奇和改变的激情。故本题选C。
由文章最后一段的内容可知，Daniel Callahan认为，在没有搞清老龄化社会将带来的问题之前，最好不要急于向这方面发展。

考题 共用题干 Living Alone Is Joyful More and more Americans are living alone.Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner. _______（46) According to a recent U.S.census（人口普查）,25 percent of all households in the U.S.are made up of just one person.This is dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago. The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely．______(47)The majority of these people have chosen to live alone.They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family. It's now socially acceptable,even fashionable,to live alone.As people get better jobs and become financially independent,it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household.______(48) However,people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often. The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it."Living alone is a luxury,"says Nina Hagiwara,33."Once you do it,you can't ever go back to living with others,"David C'Debaca,46,agrees.______(49) Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please._______(50) The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.______(49)A:There's more pressure to get married nowadays.B:The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.C:However,even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.D:It seems that many grown-ups today are realizing that childhood dream.E:In fact,a quarter of the 23 million single people in the U.S.are under the age of 35.F:He says,"I like being by myself."答案：F解析：在第一段开始，作者就提到“越来越多的美国人过着单身生活”，紧接着讲述了“一些人过着单身生活的原因是离婚或者配偶的去世”。选项中只有C项“更多的美国人过单身生活的原因是他们选择了这种生活方式”是与此相关联的。前面一句话说“典型的独居人群既不是老年人也不是离异者”；后面一句话说“这些人中的大部分人选择了这一生活方式”，联系上下文可知，“这些人”指的不是前面所提到的老年人或离异者，而应该是本段最后一句话中所提到的“响应减轻社会压力而不结婚和组建家庭的人”，选项中只有E项“事实上，在美国2300万个单身的人中有1/4的人不到35岁”是与此相关联的。前面一句话说“因为人们得到了更好的工作，经济上更加独立，所以他们才有可能维持一个人生活需要的开支”，而选项中只有B项“越来越多的女士有了好的工作，她们也使得独居人口的数量增加了”是与此相关联的。前面一句话提到了一个人David C ' Debaca，他说“一旦你独居了，就很难再与他人生活在一起。”说明他已经可惯了这种生活方式，而选项中只有F项“他说他喜欢自己生活”是与此相关联的。最后一段的第一句话说“儿童认为，长大意味着想干什么就干什么”，而选项中只有D项“似乎今天许多大人正在实现那种儿时的梦想”是与此相关联的。
