It is 23 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 24 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 25 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 26 .With changing times and 27 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 28 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 29 their voices.If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 30 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 31 to offer their places to older people. This is not a 32 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 33 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 34 disadvantage.When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 35 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.16.

His parents moved to the USA from Ireland in the 1940s, and they became very rich. Michael decided to go back to Ireland to meet his old grandfather, who was still living on the same farmMichael booked his ticket，flew to Shannon airport，hired a car and drove to the small village where his parents had been born. He asked for directions to the Ohagan farm, and in the end he drove up a bumpy path. He was shocked by what he saw: a small field, and in the middle of it was an old house, which looked as if it was falling down. Animals were wandering in and out of the front door, and on the porch an old man was smoking a pipe. “Are you Mr Ohagan?” asked Michael.“Yes，”replied the old man“I'm your grandson，Michael,” said Michael“Aha,” replied the old man“Is this your farm?” asked Michael“Yes，all the way to the wall over there,” said the old man Michael was astonished. “Grandfather,” he said，“I have a farm in TexasI can get into my car and drive all day and I still havent reached the end of the farm.”“Yes,” said his grandfather. “I used to have a car like that.”36Michaels parents _ Astill lived in Ireland alone Bowned a small farm in Texas Creturned to their birthplace Dwere Irish immigrants in America37Which of the following shocked Michael?

This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They dont get to see this soft side of others often. We try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.41.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Wheelchair Experience. B. Weakness and Kindness.C. Weakness and Strength D. A Driving ExperienceCThe British usually expect one or two snowfalls each year but the amount of snow rarely affects everyday life. However, this week Britain has had the worst snow it has seen in around 18 years. Some places had more than 30cm in a day. The bad weather caused a lot of trouble. More than 3000 schools had to close as teachers and pupils were unable to get to school. School children werent too unhappy about it, though, as they headed out to play in the snow: building snowmen; having snowball fights; and some even snowboarding and skiing. Anyone wanting to leave the country had problems too. Runways were closed at all the UKs major airports because of the snow. Hundreds of flights were cancelled leaving many passengers stranded at airports. So why is the UK so ill-prepared for snow? The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, explained that there arent enough snow-ploughs and other equipment and it doesnt make sense to buy such equipment when it snows so infrequently. The south-east of England was the hardest hit at the beginning of the week but the snow is now moving northwards where the chaos continues. More ice and snow is forecast throughout the week and the advice from travel and weather organizations is to stay indoors unless you really need to venture out!46.

Great loss to businesses and the economy in Britain.DThroughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how theyll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, Im more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the worlds attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that were all hot-tempered single mothers who cant keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still cant escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.英语试题 第6页 （共10页）Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what theyd like to see Michelle bring to the White Housemainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyonean impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image thats been around for far too long.51. Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?A) She serves as a role model for African women.B
