Americans spend most of their lives working .For most Americans ,their work defines them :They are what they do . What happens ,then, when a person can no longer work? Most Americans stop working at the age of sixty-five or scventy and retire.because work is such an important part of life in this culture ,retirement can be very difficult .Retirees often feel that they are useless and unproductive .Of course,some people are happy to retire;but leaving one's job,whatever it is,is a difficult change,even for those who look forward to retring .Retirement can also bring financial problems.Many people depend on Social checks every month .During their working years,employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government .Each employer also gives a certain percentage to the government.When people retire,they receive this money as income.These checks do not provide enough money to live on , however,because prices are increasing very rapidly .Senior citizens,those over sixty-five,have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet.The rate of inflation (通货膨胀) is forcing prices higher each year ;Social Security checks alone cannot cover these growing expenses. The government offers some assistance, but many senior citizens have to change their life-styles after retirement.They have to spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to buy food, fuel,and other necessities. Of course, many senior citizens are happy with their retirement,They have time to spend with their families or to enjoy their hobbics. Some continue to work part time;others do volunteer work. Some ,like those in the Retired Business Executives Association, even help young people to get started in new business. Many retired citizens also belong to "Golden Age "groups. These organizations plan trip and social events .There are many other pooortunities for retirees.21.The statement".,their work defines them :"implies that _. A.work restricts AmericansB.work matters most to AmericansC.work gives Americans a definitionD.work takes up much of Americans'life22.Even for those expecting to retire,reriremnet_.A.makes them feel more usefulB.leaves them more productiveC.creates no financial difficultiesD.presents a change hard to accept 23.After retirement, part of retirees' income originates from_.A.the "Golden Age"groupB.the fovernment's savings in the bankC.the employee's savings in the bankD.the emoloyer's contribution to the government24.Retirees' money from Social Security cheeks is not enough to live on because of _.A.their lower salaries B.less savings in the bank C.their changed life-styles D.the rapid increase in prices25.The last paragraph indicates that_.A.many retirees could make personal tripsB.many retirees are satisfied with their lifeC.many retirees have free time to enjoy hobbisD.many retirees work part-time to make money Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Lawmakers are raising alarms about sleep-deprived doctors-and if you'ar concerned,so 'should you sleeep'is a funny thing.We'ar taught that we should get seven or eight hours a night,but a lot of us sleep less than that,and some of us actually sleep too much .A study reported that people who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly three times as likely to die of a stroke. Doctors have their own special sleep problems.Resident doctors(住院医生)are famously sleep deprived. When I was training to become a doctor,it was not unusual to work 40 hours on end without rest .Most of us took it calmly,confident that we could still deliver the highest quality of medical care.Maybe we shouldn't have been so sure of ourselves.An article in the journal of the American Medical Association points out that in the moring after 24 hours of sleeplessness,a person's motor performance is comparable to that of someone who is legally drunken.Curiously,doctors,who believe that operating under the influence of drinking is grounds for dismissal,often don't think twice about operating without enough sleep. “I could tell you a horror story,”says Jaya Agrawal,，president of the American Medical Student Association ."A doctor was operating after being up for over 36 hours ,and he almost fell asleep standing up and nearly face planted into the wound."Agrawal's organization is supporting the Patient and Physician Safety and Protection Act of 2001,introduced last November Its key provisions include an 80-hour workweek and a 24-hour work-shift limit.Most doctors, however, resist such interference. Dr. Charles Binkley, a senior surgery resident at the University of Michigan ,agrees that something needs to be done but believes doctors should be bound by their conscience ,not by the government. The U.S. Controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers.But until such a system is in place for doctors are on their own.26.The study indicates that to sleep over 8 hours routinely and still feel tired is _.A.funny B.unusual C.normal D.dangerous27.Doctors hold that_.A.it is natural for them to sleep less before operationsB.they should have enough sleep before their operationsC.they could manage an operation even without enough sleepD.it is beneficial for them to drink some spirits after operating 28.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.doctors are prohibited from operating after drinkingB.doctors are trained to sleep less before their operationsC.doctors deprived of 24 hours of sleep will probably be firedD.doctors often think carefully about operations with less sleep29.It could be concluded from the passage that _.A.doctors believe they should be bound by conscienceB.most doctors do not want to be interfered while sleeping C.the authorities should be responsible for doctors' lack of sleepD.most doctors think they themselves could control sleeping hours30. Most doctors' attitude towards the provisions is_.A.negative B.positiveC.aggressive D.indifferentPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family .Timing is another consideration .Some children get a weekly allowance.Others get a monthly allowance.In any case ,parents should make clear what ,if anything,the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first ,young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.If they do this ,they they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget.Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs,like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a goog idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.Paying children to do extra work around the house,however,can be useful.It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want.Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice:you have to cut costs and plan for the future. 31.Parents often give allowance to their children for them_.A.to pay for school fees B.to buy gifts for themselvesC.to put savings in banks D.to learn to manage money32.If young children have spent all of their allowances beyond a budget,parents_. A.should give them more moneyB.should not offer them any adviceC.should help them to make a budget待添加的隐藏文字内容3D.should not offer them extra money33.According to the passage,it seems that_.A.older children often make financial mistakesB.younger children know little about money spendingC.parents usually give their children monthly allowances D.experts advise parents to give their children more money34.When giving their children allowances,parents should be careful of _.A.age and amount B. place and timeC.amount and timing D.timing and age 35.If a child sets a goal he tries to obtain with money,he should first_.A.make extra moneyB.reduce his expensesC.share his money with othersD.do more work around the home.Word Form(10point each)将括号内的各词变为适当的形式填入空白，答案写在答题纸上。56.It will be interesting to see what's going to happen at the next_(elect).57.For those involved, the scandal has been a very_(pain)experience.58._(safe)needs to be improved on the railways in that country.59.The present crisis bears some _(similar) to the oil erisis of the 1970s.60.His mother becomes disappointed whenever he fails to live up to her_(expect).61.Being a _(high) motivated lauguage learner, he takes every opportunity to improve his English.62.Our most _(success)product is based on a very simple idea.63.local people are questioning the _(wise) of spending so much money on the new road.64.Don't worry.
