An application is calling on thenext 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 alonehow to manage their finances in an increasingly plex and demanding world. Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner MartinLewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financialeducation a pulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Childrenfrom five to sixteen should be taught about everything from pocket money topensions, 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-calledwash-up earlier this month-the rush to legislation before parliament wasdismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has alwaysbeen one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum. As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habitsof young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven to ll-year-olds are saversbut by the time they get t0 17, over half of them are in debt to family andfriends. By this age, 26% see a credit or overdraft（透支）as a way of extendingtheir spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it muchharder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have been fallen many oftheir parents generation unless they receive good quality financial educationwhile at school. The UK has been in the worst financial recession（衰退）for generations. Itdoes seem odd that-unless parents step in-young people are left in the darkuntil they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up atuniversity. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financialeducation 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 effectively22. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that A. the author plains 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 out23. 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 B Tayka Hotel de SalWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $ 95 a nightWhy its cool: Youve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? Thatssomething few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt-includingthe beds (though youll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets). The hotel sitson the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake which is the worlds biggestsalt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks,and glue them together with a paste (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries.When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste tostrengthen the bricks. Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $ 240 a nightWhy its cool: Taking a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room isjust the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window-there isno glass! -you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(罩篷). Lateryou might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to themain part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read.

Dog Bark Park Inn B&BWhere: Cottonwood, IdahoHow much: $ 92 a nightWhy its cool: This doghouse isnt just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly.

C It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid-off co-workersout for a drink for fort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the joblessor the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the Universityof Cambridge heard data suggesting its the latter. Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based onvarious surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed peoplewho feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression asthose who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless persons mental health may“bottom out after about six months, and then even begin to improve, themental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “justcontinues to get worse and worse, Burchell says. Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beingsfeel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate butinvisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety,for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they aresuffering from-even if the result is cancer. Its better to get the bad news andstart doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When theuncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight response, whichleads to damaging stress. But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view,Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels ofanxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on theGHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchellexplains, “For women, most studies show that any job-it doesnt matterwhether it is secure or insecure-gives psychological improvement overunemployment. Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend tofeel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner,and that more of a mans self-worth depends on his job.28. Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more? A. They have to do more work since then. B. They have no chance to find better jobs. C. They have to work with inexperienced workers. D. They constantly worry about losing their jobs.29. What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight response? A. Not having a paid job. B. Fierce petition for jobs. C. Not knowing what will happen. D. Pressure to work longer hours.30. What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph? A. Advice on preparing a job interview. B. Advice to those in insecure industries. C. Some knowledge of psychology. D. Difference in men and women.31. What could be the best title for the text? A. Is it less stressful to get laid off than stay on? B. Should greater sympathy be given to the jobless? C. Do employees bear more stress than ever before? D. Do men or women show higher levels of anxiety? D Most of the time, the ground feels solid beneath our feet. Thatsforting. But its also misleading because theres actually a lot going onunderground. Masses of land (called plates) slip, slide, and bump against eachother, slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions andbillions of years. Scientists know that Earth formed about 4. 5 billion years ago. They alsoknow that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled, its outermost layer, calledthe crust （地壳), eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shifthappened, however, is an open question. Now, an international group of researchers has an answer. Theyve foundnew evidence suggesting that Earths crust started shifting at least 3.8 billionyears ago. The new estimate is l. 3 billion years earlier than previous ones. Not long before 3. 8 billion years ago, lots of small planets were hittingEarth, keeping its crust in a hot, melting state. After the hard crust formed,much of it sank at various times into the planets hot insides. There, it meltedbefore returning to the surface. In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such placesis in Greenland, in an area called the Isua supracrustal (上地壳) belt. The rockycrust there is between 3. 7 and 3. 8 billion years old. The belt was once part of theseafloor, but now it is exposed to air. The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supracrustal belt. Theynoticed long, parallel cracks（裂缝）in the rock that have been filled in with atype of volcanic rock. To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crustcaused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock oozed from deepinside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the whole area cooled, forming what wesee today. That explanation, plus chemical clues inside the rock, suggests that the Isuasupracrustal belt was once part of plate under the ocean, beginning around 3.8billion years ago. “Its a fantastic case of solving a jigsaw puzzle（拼图）,”says one of theresearchers. He notes that the puzzle was “a very difficult one because theserocks are all very old and have been badly ruined.32. The underlined phrase “oozed from in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to A. filled up gradually B. washed away quickly C. flew out of slowly D. broke through suddenly33. What can we infer from the text? A. The shapes of continents and oceans changed slowly. B. The Earths crust started shifting l.3 billion years ago. C. The crust began to shift when the Earth was hot. D. The hit from small planets made the Earth cool.34. What do scientists know about the past of the Isua supracrustal belt? A. It was once covered by hot, liquid rock. B. It remained under the deep sea. C. It stayed hot and sinking. D. It kept moving slowly.35. The text is mainly about A. why the Earth cooled B. how the Isua supracrustal belt formed C. whether the ground beneath our feet is still D. when Earths crust began shifting第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lots of people stress out about talking in front of the class or getting laughedat if they make a mistake in front of an audience. 36 The “stress hormonesthat your body produces at times like these can actually help you focus. But when worry and stress about performing get to be too much, thesehormones give people that “red alert（紧急状态）”feeling-the one that causesyou to feel cold or sweaty, or get butterflies in your stomach. 37 Be prepared. 38 Rehearse（排练）as much as you can and practice infront of others at every opportunity.

This is because the culture systems are two separate systems 4 1 . The origin of the eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China andIndia. Both of the two cultures are gestated（孕育）by 42 .In China, themother river is the Yellow River, 43 the Indian one is the Hindu River.These two cultures were 44 for several thousand years and formed their ownstyles. Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture 45 went overseasto Japan, 4 6 into the Japanese society and 47 the Japanese culturenowadays.
