14、总题数：0，分数：0.00)AHow often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there ar
15、e few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child had good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleas
16、ure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous(非凡的) adventure. But a child has his pains., he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His l
17、ife is therefore not perfectly happy.When the young man starts to earn his own loving, he becomes free from the discipline (纪律) of school and parents; but at the same time he forced to accept responsibilities (责任). He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his cloths, and his room, but has
18、 to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing ahout in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and
19、has good health, he can have the real happiness of seeing himself make steady(稳定的) progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wis
20、dom and the ability to help others with ad vice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feeling the happiness of having
21、 come through the bat tie of life safely and of having reached. a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.（分数：12.00）(1).The title of the passage is_.（分数：3.00）A.Each AgeB.Growing Pains and HappinessC.The Best Age to BeD.The Happiest People to Be(2).According to the
22、passage, _are the happiest.（分数：3.00）A.children from familiesB.young men who are healthy and wealthyC.old people who have been successfulD.those who enjoy the goodness of each age(3).Children_.（分数：3.00）A.are seldom punished for doing wrongB.can find something new and interesting all the timeC.always
23、want to be youngD.live a perfectly happy life if they always behave well(4).It is true that_.（分数：3.00）A.old age is the worst ageB.only old people are able to give wise adviceC.a wise old man may live happilyD.an old man who has joined in battles can live happilyBToday, these so-called bank credit ca
24、rds have become very popular. They can be used in stores, hotels, and restaurants all over the world. And, they can be used to pay for all kinds of unusual goods and services, including car repairs, hospital care and accident or life insurance.Credit cards offer two major services. First, they are e
25、asier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow-to buy things they want even when they do not have enough money to pay the full price. Credit cards make it possible to spread out payments over weeks or months.To receive credit cards, people must prove that
26、they earn enough to pay for whai they buy. And they usually must prove that they have paid back any money they borrowed in the past. Then, after they receive the card, credit cmnpanies limit how much they can buy with it. Visa and Mastercard, for example, do not permit most of their users to owe mor
27、e than $ 1,500. Yet even with these restrictions(限制), credit cards often make it too easy for people to spend the money they cannot pay back.With credit cards, people pay for goods or services at the end of each month, instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit ca
28、rds offer people a choice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month. Or they can pay just part usually between five and ten percent of what they owe.Studies of credit card use have found tha! each month, about half of all card users pay the full amount they owe. The others pay only part of th
29、e amount. It is this group that pro- vides credit, card companies with most of their earnings. That is because the people pay a service charge“interest“for the right to postpone full payment. Most pay an interest rate of about 19 percent a year of what they owe. In the last few years, there has been
30、 increasing criticism of high interest rates on credit cards. The use of credit cards continues to increase. Some people say that in the near future credit cards will replace money completely, but others believe that event is unlikely. However, they think Americans will be using credit cards more an
31、d more. A major reason for this is the increasing fear of crime. Credit cardsunlike real moneycan be replaced if they are lost or stolen.（分数：12.00）(1).With a credit card one can buy things_.（分数：3.00）A.one can never affordB.without using cashC.at lower pricesD.which cannot be bought with cash(2).Cred
32、it cards are better than cash as_（分数：3.00）A.they can be lost or stolenB.they can never be lost or stolenC.we dont have to fear that they will be lost or stolenD.we wont lose our money even if they are lost or stolen(3).In the U. S.（分数：3.00）A., by using credit cards we can spend more than we have, _w
33、ithin a certain period of time.A. but we have to pay back later more than what we oweB.and we dont have to pay back any other moneyC.but we pay back a little less than what we oweD.and we must soon pay back what we owe(4).Credit card companies charge the user more money if_.（分数：3.00）A.he cant pay ba
34、ck all the money at the end of a certain periodB.he pays back all the money before the end of a certain periodC.he has lost his credit cardD.he wants to stop using the credit cardCA recent study shows that more and more Americans are choosing to work at home.There are several reasons for the change.
35、 One reason is many parents want more time to be with their children at home. Another is that people want the freedom to decide for them- selves how and when to do their job. The chance to work at home lets people live wherever they wishout in the country, perhaps. It also makes it possible for many
36、 othersdisabled and other persons, new mothers-to do useful work and earn money.About half the people who work at home operate their own business. They sell products or services. The other half works for companies. They may make things, such as clothes. Or they may do office work, such as copying le
37、tters. A smaller number work at highly skilled jobs as designers or engineers.The revolution(革命) in computer technology is one of the main reasons for the change to working at home.Computers are now used in almost every American workplace in offices, in factories, even on farms. Computers make it mu
38、ch easier and quicker to do any task that involves information: writing, counting, designing, planning, keeping records.With computers, there is less need for people to come together to work. Computers can he linked by telephone lines with other computers far away. A worker can write a report oradd
39、information to company records on a computer at home and then send the finished work to a computer in another city.Americans already are using computers to do many different kinds of jobs at home. Many highly skilled workers, for example, ask their companies for the chance to work at least part of t
40、he time at home. They say they can think more clearly and be more creative in the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of their home.Many engineers, writers and computer scientists are among those who now do at least part of their work at home, using a computer. Most of such professional workers, however, spe
41、nd at least a day or two each week in the company office to discuss their work with oth- ers. Working at home is a good idea for some people in some industries. However, it does not work for everyone.Some home workers have said their personal lives and work lives became too close. Some have said the
42、y needed to be with other people to develop new ideas. And others have said it is more difficult to get a better job with the company when you are not working in the companys office.（分数：12.00）(1).Lots of people hope to work at home so as to_.（分数：3.00）A.get a higher payB.have enough time to stay with

S.A.D.working at home in the U.S.DLast Thursday a doctor came m our school to talk about the harm of smoking. He said he wouldnt go on for too long, and we saw him take his wrest-watch off and
46、lay it on the table. I cant remember what he said about smoking, because Bob and I had other things to think about. He fin ished when the bell rang for play-time, and the headmaster told us to go out.In the playground Bob showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked love ly. I wished I
47、 had been the one to sit by the table. It was really a beautiful watch, gold by the look of it. The headmaster came outside then, and the doctor was with him. They walked about, looking around and talking all the time. After a while the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in.The headma
48、ster said, “Ive got a little job for boys. This doctor, who was giving us a talk just now, has lost his watch in the playground. It happened before, he says- it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will you? See if youre clever enough to find it. I promise that the boy who does so will g
49、et a useful reward.“Of course, Bob was not going to miss a chance like that. Hes just about the luckiest boy in the school rewards just drop into his hands. We all walked about the playground, looking here and there for the watch. And I wasnt at all surprised when Bob bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the doctor.“Where are you going?“ I called out, though I knew very well where he was goin
