This year, as China is ushering in two celebrations from Oct 1-8: the National Day holiday and the Mid-autumn Festival. For anyone who is looking forward to a rich, refreshing break, here is a list of some of the best exhibitions around town.Qin and Han dynasties relicsThe exhibition of the civilizations of Qin and Han celebrates the glory of those two dynasties (211BCAD220） in terms of politics, economics, arts and culture. More than 300 artifacts from museums and institutions across the country are on show through Nov 30.If you go:9 am -5 pm through Nov 30. Closed on Mondays.

The exhibition The Civilizations of Qin and Han celebrates the glory of Song Dynasty.22. Which section of China Daily is the passage probably from?A.Lifestyle B. Business C. Travel D. Fashion23. The passage is mainly to.A. do a research B. offer informationC. entertain the readers D. give adviceBMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it es to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial（经济的）reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more fortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more fortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also e into consideration. If family is a top priority（优先，最重要）, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate（合适的）.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “ people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially(至关重要地), the examination result is what one must take into consideration by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.24. When it es to going to college , the author thinks. A. financial situation is the first to consider B. students are unwilling to leave their home C. students will bee homesick D. students are eager to attend their ideal university 25. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Students can be independent at college. B.A long distance will make students upset. C. The location of the college is a main factor. D. The climate must be taken into consideration.26. What does the underlined part “people person” in the passage mean? A. A person of great capacity. B. A very particular person. C. A very sociable person. D. A person of great importance. 27. Which is the most important factor when choosing a college? A. The location of a college. B. The examination result. C. School size. D. The ing challenges.CToday anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things we need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Lots of the money today is made of paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money.In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Some Africans once used elephant tusks, monkey tails, and salt as money.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. Later, countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history, form the days of shell money until today.28. In the Philippine Islands was once used as money.A. rice B. knife C. cloth D. wheat29. What was first used as money?A. Elephants tusks. B. Cloth. C. Salt. D. Shell30. The first paper money .A. wan passed from west Asia to China B. looked like a note used today C. was first used in Europe D. looked like a piece of fur31. . We can infer from the passage that .A. paper money isnt difficult to makeB. money must be suited to carryC. people need money to exchange goods with each other D. people prefer metal coins to paper notesDAccording to a new US study, couples who expect their children to help care for them in old age should hope they have daughters because they are likely to be twice as attentive overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, a sociologist at Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members. Her analysis(分析) of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别) is the most important predictor(预示物) of whether or not people will actively care for elderly parents.In a paper being presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men statistically likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Whereas the amount of elderly parent care daughters provide is associated with limitations they face, such as employment or childcare, sons caregiving is associated only with the presence or absence of other helpers, such as sisters or a parents spouse(配偶),” she explained, “Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.” “This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK, the xx census(人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.But many are doing so at the risk of their own health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full- time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts(相对应的人) who are not carers.32. Whats the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly? A. Gender. B. Education. C. Career. D. Family networks. 33. The US study finds that . A. sons are twice likely as daughters to care for parents in old age B. having a sister makes men less likely to do their fair share C. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents D. sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to female family members 34. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly. B. Many care providers work longer hours than others. C. People shouldnt pass on caring responsibilities to others. D. Many care providers have potential health problems. 35. The author develops the text by. A. explaining social networks of careers B. describing peoples experiences C. analyzing various research and data D. paring different gender behavior第二节：七选五（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。Kids with Special NeedsKids with special needs refer to any kid who might need extra help because of medical, emotional, or learning problems. For example, disabled kids need wheelchairs. They not only need the equipment that helps them get around, but they might need to have ramps(斜坡) or elevators available. 36 Kids with an illness would have special needs. 37 Kids with sight problems might need Braille books to read. Kids with hearing problems might need hearing aids. 38 It might be harder to do normal thingslike learning to read or just getting around school. The good news is that parents, doctors, nurses, teachers, and others can help. The goal is to help kids be as independent as possible.Other kids also can be a big help. How? By being a friend.

Being friendly to kids with special needs is one of the best ways to be helpful. As you get to know, they may help you understand what its like to be in their shoes.

However, after I 61 (e) out of my teachers office, I told myself, “Smile! Its not so serious.”I smiled a big smile and 62 worked a little, really.Everyone gets 63 (depress) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I came 64 a sentence in the Bible, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the days own trouble be sufficient for the day.” It suddenly struck me，“ 65 (worry) about a problem doesnt help. Why not just give a big smile and face up 66 the trouble？”Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that 67 (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I 68 (convince) that theres something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me 69 courage to move on.Remember, whenever youre faced with a setback, whenever youve been treated unfairly, all it takes is determ
