閱讀下列短，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Just as soe people think that certain nubers are lucky or unlucky, others believe that we can use nubers to understand our personalities, or predict what will happen to us in the future.
Nuerology is a way of using nubers to describe a person’s character, and to ake predictions about future life events. Nuerologists use the nubers 1-9, 11 and 22 — also known as the “aster” nubers — to help a person understand his or her personality, life goals, and destiny.
Nuerologists consider your Life Path nuber to be the ost significant because this nuber describes your character. To find this nuber, add together all the nubers in your date of birth. For exaple, a person born on April 25, 1985 would add the onth (4), to the nubers of the date (2+5), plus the nubers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). In this case the total is 34, so this person’s life path nuber is 7(3+4). Nuerologists believe that people with this nuber are peaceful and affectionate but can also be very reserved.
Your Expression nuber describes your talents and predicts how you should use these to fulfill your destiny in life. Nuerologists assign a nuber between 1 and 9 to each of the letters in your nae. These nubers are then added together in the sae way as before to find your Expression nuber. Nuerologists can also do calculations to predict when the ost challenging periods of your life will be.
Nuerologists also believe that the day a person is born is iportant. Each day of the onth has a character description. People born on the fourth are said to be responsible, honest, and stubborn. People born on the fifteenth have very strong attachents to faily and hoe. Those who celebrate their birthday on the thirtieth are artistic, creative, and iaginative, and often ake good writers.
If we calculate the nuerical value of our nae and birth date, nuerologists believe that we can learn ore about our personalities. They also believe that we can predict our destinies, how our lives will progress, and what challenges we ay face along the way. To the nuerologist, nubers can be used in any ore ways than we think.
26. If a person was born on Noveber 8, 1995, what is his Life Path nuber?
A. 7 B. 8 C. 9 D. 11
27. To understand your abilities and how to use the in your life, you should calculate your ______.
A. Life Path nuber B. Expression nuber
C. birthday D. nae and birth date
28. According to the passage, a person born on the fifteenth tends to be _______.
A. stubborn B. hoe-loving C. artistic D. iaginative
29. According to the passage, nuerologists believe that _________.
A. Life Path nuber can be used to predict a person’s ost challenging life periods
B. Expression nuber is the ost eaningful for people to learn a person’s character
C. nubers can help people better understand theselves
D. nubers can be used to change a person’s future
30. The function of the passage is __________.
A. to raise doubts about the usefulness of nuerology
B. to persuade readers about the benefits of the practices it describes
C. to describe soe of the nuerological practices and their purpose
D. to tease those who take such beliefs seriously

Norally when I pop in to see y parents, y u bursts out of the house with a big sile. Not today. "Your brother," she says, "he's showered twice this afternoon. Does he know how uch it costs to run this house?" Are we liiting water now? I didn't think the recession(蕭條) had got that bad. y poor brother is a booerang kid. Like 60 percent of guys iediately after university, he's back at hoe. Graduating ￡15,000 in debt and faced with unpaid internships(實習期) or loages thanks to the flooding of the arket with graduates, a lot of twentysoethings siply don't have the necessary incoe or parental support to live independently.
Three years after getting their degree, ost graduates are still not earning above the average salary. They have a near 50 percent tax burden, thanks to student loan repayents and council tax on top of incoe tax and national insurance. Unless you have parents who can afford to finance what is effectively a second hoe for the, returning to the parental nest is often the only affordable option.
The booerang effect is becoing even ore pronounced thanks to the recession. One in four of those losing their job during the downturn is under 25. Only 13 percent of final-year students have jobs. Hoe is the only place any are going: 111,000 16-29 year olds oved back hoe in 2008, five ties the average of previous years.
Booeranging is bad news. It poses serious probles for parents' finances. They've already supported their children through university, topping up loans with handouts, averaging ￡12,300 in total, to keep twentysoethings afloat. Now their retireent savings are being eaten away by continuously dependent children.
It’s bad for the returning kids too. Abitious young people will be left frustrated, seeing their university peers fro ore wealthy backgrounds excel only because parents' oney was there to support the through the initial period of poverty wages. Those living in rural areas are further disadvantaged by lack of access to cities where ost new jobs are located. Half of all young people now feel they will not achieve their goals. Research by the Prince's Trust reveals that one-quarter of all 16-2ear olds are regularly down or depressed. And depression does not help self-otivation, the very trait needed to seek out job opportunities.
31. In paragraph 1, the other’s criticizing her son for showering too often shows _________.
A. the price of water has increased
B. she thinks her son is selfish
C. her son is an econoic burden

32. What is the booerang entioned in the passage?
A. A person earning low incoe.
B. A person who has heavy tax burden.
C. A youth who cannot get parental support.
D. A youth returning to parents after graduation.
33. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the tax bill of ost young graduates?
A. National insurance. B. Incoe tax.
C. Council incoe. D. Student loans.
34. Who is coparatively ost affected by the recession according to the passage?
A. Those who haven’t copleted their university studies.
B. Those who are supported through by their parents.
C. Those who can have access to the urban facilities.
D. Those who were born into the well-off failies.
35. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Global Recession
B. Booerang Kids
C. Uneployent Rate
D. Falling Incoes

Studying volcanoes is a deanding profession. Hazel Ryer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, clib to the top of ountains, then clib 200 etres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38-year-old volcanologist does her best to ake it sound less alaring than it is. “Driving to work is ore risky,” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 etres,” she adds, trying to ake it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.
Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long tie, so it’s not surprising she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Popeii. “I reeber reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in tie had quite an effect on e and I a still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”
Nowadays, volcanoes are getting ore and ore unpredictable. There have been any changes in sea level caused by global waring and elting ice caps. These have resulted in soe dorant volcanoes erupting, so studying the is ore dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn’t take any unnecessary risk she has had soe frightening oents. Her worst experience was on the slopes of ount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava strea. “I guess it was five etres. The floas 1,000°C, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to elt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision --- there wasn't tie to do anything else.”
And what about the future? “I haven’t been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend soe tie working in the Antarctic,” she says. “I would also like to knohy quiet lava flows erupt fro soe volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Ryer won’t be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to worust yet.
36. Hazel’s clai that “driving to work is ore risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ______.
A. people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the past
B. Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in.
C. there are any bad drivers in the place where Hazel lives
D. Hazel is being odest and understating the dangers she faces
37. When did Hazel first becoe interested in volcanoes?
A. When she was visiting Italy.
B. When she was at school.
C. When she was twenty.
D. When she saw Vesuvius.
38. The underlined word “these” (in paragraph 3) refers to __________.
A. elting ice-caps B. volcanic eruptions
C. changes in sea level D. higher teperatures
39. When Hazel was on ount Etna she had to ________.
A. take a dangerous route
B. take an unnecessary risk
C. leave her boots behind
D. walk for ten hours around the ountain
40. In the future, Hazel wants to ________.
A. revisit volcanoes she knows
B. go on holiday to the Antarctic
C. find a less dangerous job
D. discover new things about volcanoes

Across the planet there are illions of people who engage in soe type of editation, the practice of concentrating and clearing the ind to bring the body into a state of peace, at least a sei-regular basis. For soe, particularly aong practitioners of Eastern religions such as Buddhis and Hinduis, this is part and parcel of their religious practice.
For others, particularly in Western cultures, editation tends to be a response to stress. With the world econoy approaching eltdown and people worried about their job or their ability to keep their hoe, it’s a way for people to attain a state of peace of ind and well-being.
For those interested in taking up the practice, instruction in editation for beginners can be found in literally thousands of sources. x kb1
One of the ost popular styles of ediation in the West, with classes offered in ost ajor cities, is called Transcendental editation. T, as it is known aong its practitioners, first cae to worldwide attention when the Beatles began practicing it in 1967. For direct, guided, personal instruction in editation for the beginner, T ay be the hallark.
Part of the confusion about how to practice editation effectively is due to the fact that there are literally hundreds of techniques chapioned by various groups and individuals. As a general principle, it ight be said that all editation techniques seek to have the practitioner attain a state of consciousness that is different to our ordinary state of awareness. They attept to train people to clear their inds and achieve a sense of inner peace. It sounds siple enough, but of the huge nuber of people experient with editation, very few are able to aintain its practice over the long haul. In ost cases, this is due to frustration over the inability to experience any draatic, instantly recognizable effects.
This is quite a sad state of affairs, that so few these days are willing or equipped to persist in soething that doesn’t provide iediate life-changing results. It reflects a culture in which deands for discipline and sustained effort are considered unnecessary or even unfair. It is no surprise therefore that any people abandon their efforts at editation before they have a chance to bear fruit.
But for anyone who does decide to take up this worthwhile practice, please reeber. You ust clear your ind, relax and “take it as it coes”. aintain the practice with a sense of discipline and devotion, and eventually benefits of inner peace and cal will be yours.
41. The underlined part “part and parcel of” in paragraph 1 is nearest in eaning to ________.
A. closely associated with B. very different to
C. usually sent fro D. an iportant eleent of
42. The goal of editation is ________.
A. to clear the ind B. to practice a religion
C. to develop a technique D. to carry out an experient
43. What can we infer about editation fro the passage?
A. It has two ain types.
B. It is practiced by any faous artists.
C. Its benefits are not iediately obvious.
D. ost people find it a very good way to relax.
44. According to the writer, what has attracted any Western people to editation practices in recent years?
A. Their iproved understanding of foreign culture.
B. The need to fill in their growing free tie.
C. Increasing eployent instability.
D. igration fro countries in which editation is traditional.
45. Who is the probable audience for this article?
A. Experienced editation practitioners.
B. People interested in starting to learn editation.
C. Buddhists and Hindus.
D. People who are very religious.

The arrival of World Book and Copyright Day always draws public attention to young people's reading, but ere teporary attention cannot increase the popularity of reading. The lack of reading books is becoing an increasingly severe proble in China.
According to a survey by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Shanghai residents read ost in China, with only eight books read a year on average. About 1.3 billion Chinese people read less than one book every year, if textbooks are not taken into account.
Nowadays, children's spare tie is occupied by attending various tutorial classes, taking exa preparation training, and learning piano, painting, dancing, weiqi, or other techniques.
"Childhood is a good period for reading literature. Reading can wake up the true nature of children, and good education should fit children's nature," said Zhou Yiin, who is also a teacher.
Scholars are also worried about another adverse ipact of the lack of reading. "If a child had never read a book fro beginning to end before the fourth grade, he or she ay lack the ability to read an entire book," said Jiang Junjing, an experienced teacher. What is worse, it ay result in a lack of the ability to grasp the whole situation. Children who lacked the ability to read an entire book in childhood ay end up being unable to grasp the whole picture or anage the whole tea when they grow up.

Reading books
According to a recent survey, the lack of reading books is a serious proble in China. Too busy with school work and tutorial classes, children seldo have chances to read, which raises great concern aong the scholars about the serious consequence.
I strongly believe that reading books are very iportant. Firstly, as Francis Bacon put it, “reading akes a full an”. By reading different books, we perfect ourselves entally. “Histories ake en wise; poes witty; the atheatics subtitle; natural philosophy deep; oral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend”. Secondly, good books can delight, entertain and educate us. The iportance of reading books is gaining new insight or perspectives on issues and helps us to have a new understanding of the world around. We can apply the insight in everyday life or as a way of building upon the knowledge that already encopasses our ind and enrich our lives.
One of y favorite book is Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen. Basically, this is a story of courtship and arriage, but through the huorous, soeties satirical tone of the author, I get to know about hooen lived their lives and what the upper and iddle class people centered around in the late18th century England. I sile at the wit of r. Bennet, laugh at the indlessness of rs. Bennet. I a totally ipressed by Lizzy’s eloquence when she debated with r. Darcy, and equally oved when r. Darcy finally aditted he had an affection for Lizzy. In a word, with this book, I teporarily escape fro the 21st century world, entertaining yself and at the sae tie broadening y horizon.
We read books for pleasure. They entertain us. And we read the for profit. They enlighten us. Good books draw us into their iaginative worlds and engage us with the power of their invention. They enlarge our understanding of ourselves and deepen our appreciation of life. Therefore, I think reading books is very iportant.
