答案 C
10.A scientist who can speak English is in closer touch with those of other countries than ________ who doesn't.
A.that B.those C./ D.one

—Yes. I love ________ when the weather is like this. Why not go out for a walk?
A.this B.it C.one D.that
解析 考查代词用法。此处it作形式宾语,真正宾语是when the weather is like this。假如主句谓语是表示爱憎类的动词,如like/dislike/hate/appreciate,且其宾语为一个宾语从句时,则一般把it放于其中作形式宾语,后面再加上if或疑问词引导的宾语从句。再如:I dislike it when people talk with their mouths full.我厌烦人们一边嘴里满是东西,一边谈话。I'll appreciate it if you could open the window for me.假如你能帮我打开窗户,我将不胜感谢。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
体裁:谈论文 话题:社会关注 时间:6分钟
More than one in four children alive in Britain today will celebrate their 100th birthday,official figures showed.The special figures show a huge social change,with today's children likely to survive far longer than their parents or grandparents.Of the 12.4 million children aged 16 and under,3.3 million (27%) will become someone who is a hundred years old or older.In a class of 30 children,eight can live to be 100.And the rest of the children are likely to get to an old age,even though they will not make it to three figures.
Experts warned that children may live to 100,but that they will not get their state pension until they are 70 or beyond.The state pension age is rising to 66 for both men and women by 2022,and the Government has warned it will continue to rise.Laith Khalaf,a pension expert,said,“Living to an old age is lucky if you can afford it,but a nuisance if you can't.Those without enough savings will be depending on the state pension which will be changed.”
It also increases the possibility of millions of people surviving until their 100th birthday with a poor quality of life because of poor health and little money.Millions of older people have no pensions,no savings and no plans about how they are going to pay for their retirement other than to carry on working.If the older population demands more resources,then they have to come from their own wealth or the government.
Laith said,“Millions of people will be spending over a third of their lives in retirement.It is high time that we reformed the state pension system.We want to make it fair for future generation.”
【语篇导读】 官方数据表明,现在的英国儿童会比他们的长辈活得更久。令人担忧的是,这将会给政府带来巨大的养老负担。
1.From the first paragraph we can learn that ______.
A.today's children probably live longer than their parents
B.few of British children are expected to live to an old age
C.more than 30% of children aged 16 can live to be 100
D.20% of British children will celebrate their 100th birthday
解析 考查细节理解。依据文章第一段的其次句“The special figures show a huge social change,with today's children likely to survive far longer than their parents or grandparents.”可知,现在的英国儿童可能会比他们的长辈活得更久,故选A。
答案 A
2.The underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A.somebody who is disabled
B.somebody who is dishonest
C.something that causes trouble
D.something that is incorrect
解析 考查词义猜想。依据上下文可知,画线词所在句表示“假如你能够担当养老的费用,长寿是一种幸运,但假如担当不起,那就会是一种麻烦”,故nuisance=something that causes trouble,答案为C。
答案 C
3.What kind of life will people living to 100 probably face?
A.A high quality of life because of the development of technology.
B.A low quality of life because of bad health and limited money.
C.A high quality of life because of the increase in food price.
D.A low quality of life because of the present government.
解析 考查细节理解。依据第三段的第一句“It also increases the possibility of millions of people surviving until their 100th birthday with a poor quality of life because of poor health and little money.”可知,活到100岁的人可能会面临因身体差、资金有限而造成生活质量降低的问题,即B项正确。
答案 B
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.The retirement age will be raised to 70 or beyond.
B.The government will provide job chances for the retired.
C.The state pension age for men is different from that for women.
D.It will increase the government's pressure if more children live to 100.
解析 考查推理推断。依据第三段的最终一句“If the older population demands more resources,then they have to come from their own wealth or the government.”可知,假如人活得更久,就会需要更多的资源,这无疑会增加政府的负担,即D项正确。
答案 D
Ⅳ.书面表达
阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
To many people even the word “work” sounds unpleasant,not necessarily because they are lazy.The same man,who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office,may work hard at the weekend,painting the house or digging the garden.
What is the reason,then?In most cases,it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job they are doing.It does not give them any real satisfaction.It may be quite easy,like making up wooden boxes,but it is very boring.Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one,such as attaching a door handle to a car.But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can never say :I have made something!
Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs such as cleaning streets because this is the way society is organized,No matter how ordinary a job is,it plays a part in society and therefore deserves our due respect. Society cannot function a single day without the “dull and boring” jobs.

In the passage,the author mainly stressed the importance of small and ordinary work,such as cleaning the street because of their essentiality for the organization of the society,and thinks those doing such jobs should be respected greatly.
There is no doubt that what a cleaner does is more harder compared with any other jobs in the society. On one hand,they must get up in the early morning every day to clean the street while we are sill in the sweet sleeping dreams. On the other hand,they also suffer from less respect and lower pay,working all day on the street no matter it is sun shines strongly or snow,wind heavily.
Nobody could imagine what an bad environment we would live in if there were no cleaners in t
