26、ed第三节 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)AToday most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths a
27、s China is entering a new stage of an aging society. An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nations total population. “China is getting old before becoming rich,” said Cai Ch
28、uang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources. As a result of
29、 the family planning policy, it is expected that the countrys total working population will decrease after 2015. China is not the only country getting old. More than 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen. However, experts said that
30、 China doesnt have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.56. An aging society is a society that _. Aless that 10% of its population is over 60 B10% or more of its pop
31、ulation is over 60Cthere are four old people in a familyDmost of its population is over 6057. If China enters an aging society, _. Athere will not be enough labor resourcesBthe family planning policy will be endedCeveryone needs to take care of four to twelve old peopleDChina will have a highly deve
32、loped social security network58. What does Cai Chuang mean by saying “China is getting old before becoming rich.”?AChina will be an aging society, then be a developed country.BChina will be a rich country before being an aging society.CAn aging society will affect Chinese economy development.DChina
33、will stop developing because of its aging problem.59. The passage mainly talks about _.Aan aging societyBChinese social problemCfamily panning policyDaging problem in ChinaBThousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. The tickets cost onl
34、y $0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot(积累奖金)in history. More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of
35、winning was one in 9.6 million. But that little chance certainly didnt affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second. Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Othe
36、rs say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth theyll probably never have. But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化的)gambling. Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There
37、are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit. Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are us
38、ually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice(恶习), under the name of social progress. No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Amer
39、icans.60. The main idea of the passage is that _.Alotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys themBplaying a lottery is just like investing in the stock marketCa lot of people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreementDlotteries are just legalized vice61. Which of the following is
40、 TRUE according to the passage?APoliticians like lotteries because they dont have to pay extra tax.BThe popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress.CSome critics dont like lotteries because many poor people waste their money on them.DPeople love the lottery because it is a stock m
41、arket.62. In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling_.A$1.62 millionB$90 millionC$9.6 millionD$87 million63. People who are addicted to playing lotteries should _.Ajoin a club Bkick the habit Cwin the Pennsylvania Dsave every centCHow should one invest a su
42、m of money in inflation (通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy bea
43、utiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques. I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. The planet Earth is ruled by a mysteri
44、ous creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the
45、 real master of Earth and men are its slaves. Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time according to the beating of their own hearts
