And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.32. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _. A. want to be as rich as their neighbours B. want others to know or to think that they are rich C. dont want others to know they are rich D. want to be happy33. It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to _. A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York City C. live in apartmentsD. have many neighbours34. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is _. A. an important name B. a popular name in the United States C. his neighbours name D. not a good name35.

A. do as the poor persons around him do B. do everything he likes to do C. do as his neighbours do D. do as the rich people around him doDThe Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.Global positioning system (GPS) (全球定位系统)Its a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact(精确地) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. Its made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (设备) on land and receivers.Space TechnologyRussian and American scientists have worked together for the international Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless(无限的) advantages. Its even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.Underwater RobotHercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.The world is changing so quickly that its hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. Its important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives.

A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity(自动性)”.A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase(短语). With automaticity, he doesnt have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.41. “Reading is the key to school success” means that reading . A. helps school develop faster B. is a key to a successful school C. helps students go to a key school D. can improve students learning results42. Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they . A. know how to read the words B. do not have to think while reading C. read by themselves without any help D. pay attention to the meaning of the text43. Rossman tells that any child who will possibly be an automatic reader.A. turns off TV one night 4 weeks B. reads books by the word quickly C. spends an hour reading every day D. gets the same grades as others in exams44. The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “ ” in Chinese.A. 结结巴巴地读 B. 全神贯注地读C. 心不在焉地读 D. 声情并茂地读45. The best title for the passage is “ ”.A. IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity B. TV Is Bad for Childrens ReadingC. Automaticity Depends on PracticeD. Automatic Reads Will Be Successful第II卷 （共51分）四、填空（共16小题，每小题1分，满分16分）A） 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，是句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题纸标号为4650的相应位置上。46.

It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible ways to this problem.First, employers(雇主) should take the responsibility for their retired(退休的) employees. To make this possible, 1% of profits(利润) should be left for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage because of higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual(个人). This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people find that its difficult for them to pay for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government co
