It is predicted（told in advance）that the rise in the city’s elderly population will reach its top between 2025 to 2030, the newspaper reports. A recent survey（study）also shows that the population above the age of 60 in China has amounted to（reached）some 132 million so far, and the figure is increasing by 3.2 percent each year. “Yet fewer children have been born these years, so the social security（保障）system should be improved as soon as possible,” said Shen. Shanghai has chosen some communities（社区）as pilot neighborhoods to carry out a help-each-other program in an attempt to solve the problem. People can help take care of the elderly people, and they in turn will be looked after by others when they get old, according to China Daily.64. Which of the following is the correct way to calculate Shanghai’s population?  A. 132,000,000×0.1007 B. 2.460,000÷0.186 C. 132,000,000×0.032       D. 2.460,000×0.18665. The main idea of Paragraph Four is about        . A. China’s going to face the same problem as Shanghai does B. the aging problem with China is not so serous as with Shanghai C. Shanghai is just a window for seeing China’s aging problem D. the situation with China is getting worse than that with Shanghai66. What should the society do to carry out the help-each-other program? A. Elderly people help each other. B. The old and the young help each other. C. The young help the old. D. The old help the young.67. Which of the following will the aging problem result in? A. People enjoy longer lives. B. Fewer children are born each year. C. The population above 60 is larger than that. D. The society has to devote a lot more to old-age care.DOne silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action — a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He'll probably say, "Fine, I’m all right." But you have put a bug in his ear - maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else "How do you feel?" Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask "How do you feel?" if you're visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it's no use asking him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him. "How do you feel?" Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age", he said, "either you feel all right or you're dead."68. According to the writer, greeting such as "How do you feel?" ___.   A. show one's consideration for others       B. are a good way to make friends    C. are proper to ask a man in action          D. generally make one feel uneasy69. The question "How do you feel?" seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ____ .   A. a man working at his desk      B. a person having lost a close friend   C. a stranger who looks somewhat worried   D. a friend who is ill'70. George Bernard Shaw's reply in the passage shows his ____.   A.  cheerfulness    B. cleverness   C. ability    D. politeness71. "You've put a bug in his ear" means that you've ___.  A. made him laugh   B. shown concern for him   C. made fun of him   D. given him some kind of warning                     EMoods, say the experts, are feelings that tend to become fixed, influencing one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology (药理学) offers a lot of tranquilizers (镇静剂). What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to set you loose from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug-store but try the following methods.Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic exercise(有氧运动) seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep up the exercise, you’d be in high spirits," says. Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favourably to drugs as a mood raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise - running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate, increase blood circulation and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do some of the activities for at least 20 minutes a session three to five times a week.72. What is the main subject discussed in the passage?A. How to beat a bad mood.         B. How to talk bad moods out.C. How to do physical exercises.     D. How to join in aerobic exercises.73. According to the passage, all of the statements are true EXCEPT that ________.A. climbing is an efficient cure for a bad moodB. moods can have a bad effect on people’s healthC. aerobic exercise can help people get rid of bad moodsD. pharmacology has provided people with many tranquilizers74. "Feel out of sorts" in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “_____”.A. put things in order 　　　　　    B. are in high spiritsC. are in a bad mood 　　　　　　　    D. search for tranquilizers75. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. some drugs are more effective than physical exercisesB. a person does not need aerobic exercise if he is in a good moodC. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneselfD. when in a bad mood, one may not work very efficiently第II卷第四部分  写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节  任务型阅读（共10小题:每小题1分,满分10分）认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。（10分）注意：每空格1个单词。Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how. 1) Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.2) Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. 3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.4) Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.5) Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried. There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

After 12 silent Spring Festivals, Beijing regained a gorgeous festival eve which was decorated with splendid fireworks and livened up with firecracker clacks. However, there is still a heated discussion whether we should ban fireworks or not in the city.   According to the recent survey, there are 80.16% of people who support our Chinese traditional way to celebrate China New Year. They think setting off fireworks can certainly add pleasure and joy to the festival and it can bring more traditional colors in the modern era. However, 19.84 % of people think that setting off fireworks can cause air and noise pollution. What’s worse, it sometimes causes terrible accidents to us and to our poverty. And it is very common that every year many people got injured by setting off the fireworks carelessly.
