Many people of my generation(代，一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that 36 people behave today.
Their first argument（论点） is that when we were young we used to look after the 37 people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t 38 about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no 39 . People had to live with their 40 and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more 41 to live where they want.
Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect （盼望，期待）to be given jobs -----and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain（抱怨） about 42 . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts（关系）. It is really 43 today.
In conclusion I think there is hope for the 44 . This generation, like generations before them, has new 45 as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

What does the word “home” mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Spanish? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means it often has no exact（准确的） translation. It’s not surprising really, because the idea of home varies from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and family living that go on inside, which are important as well. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed（轻松的）.But it’s not just that homes look different in different countries, they also contain different things and reveal（显示） different attitudes（态度） and needs. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows, cool stone floors and often no carpets. We asked some people about their homes.
| How often do people move house in your country? — Cheryl, Boston, USA |
| What are typical features of homes in your country? “In Britain, even in town there’s always a garden and sometimes a cellar（地下室）. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don’t often have balconies (阳台). The weather isn’t warm enough!” — Pat, Exeter, England |
56. The word “home” has no exact translation because ______.
A. people can’t find this word in the dictionary
B. no one knows what it is
C. it has different meanings in different countries
D. people can’t understand each other very well
57. You can ______ at home according to the passage.
A. cook, talk, and play games B. eat, play, and teach students
C. swim, eat, and make friends D. do nothing
58. Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?
A. Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.
B. Because there’s a fire in the living room.
C. Because they wear heavy clothing all day long.
D. Because the sun there shines a lot.
59. How often do people move home in the United States?
A. Every year. B. Every five years or less.
C. Every ten years or so. D. They don’t move until they die.
60. Which one is true according to the passage?
A. People in Britain seldom have balconies because it’s so hot outside.
B. “Home” is a place where you feel safe and relaxed.
C. Although homes look different in different countries, they have the same needs.
D. Houses in northern Europe always have big windows and cool stone floors.
B
The sun
is our greatest source of energy（能量）. We
have started to use this energy only recently, though.
The sun can heat houses. Solar（太阳的） heat can keep a house warm even when it is cold outside. Large windows, sun-rooms, and solar greenhouses all collect the sun's heat. Solar collectors can be placed on a roof（屋顶）, a wall, or anywhere the sun shines. Collectors can be made to store extra（额外的） heat for times when there is no sun.
The sun heats water, too. Pipe systems（管道系统） are put on roofs and the sun heats the water pipes. House roofs should slant (倾斜) towards the south.
In a house that is built especially for solar heat, most of the rooms face south. The southern wall has double sheets of glass. The sheets are divided by a half-inch of space. This space reduces(减少) the amount of heat that escapes. The sun can still enter, though.
Solar energy can be used for cooking, too. Dr Maria Telkes invented a simple stove（灶） that looks like a tightly insulated (绝缘的) box. The stove slants towards the sun. Four flat mirrors fan out from it. These mirrors reflect sunlight into the inside of the stove, which is filled with a heat-absorbent salt. Its temperature can be regulated by moving the mirrors. Because it stores up heat, the stove can be used after sunset.
Solar energy is expected to become cheaper and more common in the future. Then it will be able to compete with oil and gas as a major source of energy.
61. The best title of this passage would be “ ________ ”.
A. Cooking with Solar Energy B. Comparing Different Types of Energy
C. Several Major Sources of Energy D. Solar Energy, Today and Tomorrow
62. Solar houses can be identified by their ________ .
A. cost B. construction C. size D. simple stove
63. The underlined word “reflect” in Paragraph 5 means “ ________ ”.
A. throw back B. come about C. grow up D. make out
64. How does Dr Telkes' stove store the heat of the sunlight?
A. By using a heat-absorbent salt.
B. With the mirrors above the stove.
C. By the insulated box.
D. Through a pipe system.
65. Who would NOT welcome the growth of solar energy?
A. Farmers. B. Houseowners. C. Oil companies. D. Construction companies.
C
Can you understand the beginning of this essay（短文）?
“My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”
The
Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote
it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text
messages（短信）. Text messages
(also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At
first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way
to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text
messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular
enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for
messages called “texting.”
A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it's common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent（代表） a word, like “r” for “are,” “u” for “you,” and “2” for “to.” Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for “laughing out loud.” Another characteristic（特征） of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls.”
Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)
Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.
66. What is the writer's opinion of text messaging?
A. The writer does not give his opinions.
B. It is not bad for children.
C. It will make children bad writers.
D. It is fun and easy to do.
67. Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?
A. Using letters to represent words.
B. Using phrases to represent essays.
C. Using letters to represent phrases.
D. Using numbers to represent words.
68. Which of the following was most probably the title of the student's essay?
A. My Smmr Hols B. CU in LA
C. My GF D. My Gr8 Tchr
69. Why do some people think that texting is bad?
A. It costs too much. B. It's too difficult to type.
C. Teenagers won't learn to write correctly. D. It's not comfortable.
70. Why aren't some people worried about the effect of texting?
A. Not many people use texting.
B. Spelling in English is too difficult.
C. Teenagers quickly become bored with texting.
D. Texting will disappear because of new technology.

Dear Joan,
I’m glad to send you an e-mail to tell you that I’m getting more and more interested in English.
However, in the past I thought learning English meant learning grammar rules and words by heart. I didn’t like to do any reading in English, nor was I willing to practise speaking English with my classmates.
Now with my English teacher’s help, I came to realize we learn to speak English by speaking as we learn to sing by singing. I began to enjoy speaking English and communicate with my classmates. I often read some fresh English news or articles and look up some information on the internet. As a result, I have made great progress in English.
Yours sincerely,
Amy
