　　A
　　 The most miserable people live in their own little worlds of isolation. They do very little for others and rarely have much fun.
　　 I heard of one man who was considered by the townspeople to be both rich and simple. His austerities (节约) earned him the reputation of a miser. When he died, everyone expected to find a lot of money in his home. But all they found were some coins.
　　 It came out that he had used most of his money to help put needy young students through college. And the coins filled his pockets as he walked down the busy streets looking for cars whose parking meters had run out. When he found one, he would drop in a coin. One of his neighbors commented, “That explains why he looked so happy!”
　　 Of course! People who are willing to help others will always be happy. When I lived in Denver, I decided to do the same thing. So whenever I parked on a busy street I noticed the parking meters around me. If one had run out, I would put in a coin.
　　 Then I learned something disturbing. It is illegal to do that in Denver! Once I learned that I was breaking the law, I quit looking for meters to feed. And I lost an extra bit of joy.
　　 I have moved away from Denver now and I just might go back to feed an expired(到期的) meter from time to time. I don’t know how the city council feels about my little gifts to drivers, but I know how it feels to be unavoidably late returning to a parked car, and worrying about whether the meter has run out. And if I have to look over my shoulder before I put in a coin, then somehow I think that may be more fun! It can be a game: do something good and don’t get caught!

　　 Shanghai authorities Tuesday denied that the city’s divorce rate hit 35 percent last year, while experts predicted that the figure would further climb as more couples decide they want a way out of their failed marriage.
　　 Shanghai’s civil affairs bureau（民政局）clarified the alarmingly high figure reported by local media Tuesday on Valentine’s Day, when flower sales surged and some 2,800 couples in the city tied the knot on the most commercially romantic day of the year.
　　 Last year, some 38,850 people divorced, according to Zhou Jixiang, head of the bureau’s marriage department.
　　“Based on an international calculation method that counts the number of married couples who agree to divorce against that of the city’s total population, the divorce rate rested at three to four divorces for every 1,000 couples,” he told the Global Times Tuesday.
　　“True, that number doesn’t yet include those couples who divorced with help from the courts last year, but even when that record is added to the count, there’s still no way the figure could be anywhere near 35 percent,” he said.
　　Shu Xin, a private marriage counselor, who has roughly a decade of experience in dealing with couples’ marital problems, said that most of his patients, or roughly 60 percent of them, are below the age of 35.?
　　“We began marriage consultation for couples in 2004,” he said. “About a third of the 4,250 couples who received help last year have thought twice about splitting up.”
　　“They haven’t been together for all that long and have less to lose than older couples, who share a child,” he told the Global Times Tuesday. “They think it’s easier for them to just give up on their troubled marriage and start over―and chase another love.”
　　The unhappy situation, combined with more prosperous modern times and a declining public stigma toward divorce, also makes it easier for couples to throw in the towel before growing old together, agreed Xu Anqi, a researcher specializing in marital studies from Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
　　31. The underlined word “surged”(in Para2)probably means _________.
　　 A. sharply reduced B. abruptly increased
　　 C. suddenly dropped D. strongly fell
　　 32. According Zhou Jixing, ____________.
　　 A. last year, less than 30,000 people divorce
　　 B. he was interviewed by the Global Times on Valentine’s Day
　　 C. the city’s divorce rate is higher than 35 percent
　　 D. the problem of divorce is the urgent one to be dealt with
　　 33. From the passage, we can infer that ____________.
　　 A. the city’s divorce rate is bound to be higher than 35 percent
　　 B. the city’s divorce rate must be lower than 35 percent
　　 C. compared with the elderly, more young people choose to end their marriage
　　 D. compared with the youth, more elderly people choose end their marriage
　　 34. Which of the followings is not the reason for divorce?
　　 A. the unhappy situation
　　 B. more prosperous modern times
　　 C. a declining public stigma toward divorce
　　 D. less money
　　 35. What is the passage mainly about?
　　 A. A discussion about divorce rate between the government and experts.
　　 B. At present, divorce resulted in dreadful society problems.
　　 C. The solutions to the divorce issue.
　　 D. Everyone should manage their marriage well
　　C
　　 Homework. The word alone causes complaints from kids of all ages. It’s often accompanied by the dull sound of an overloaded schoolbag hitting the floor. A heavy helping of homework is, for many students, a headache. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s no magic formula for getting good grades on homework. But there are some basic things that students can do to raise their grades. Here are several homework tips from an experienced teacher:
　　 1. Study in a clean and well-lighted place.
　　 Doing your homework while lying on your bed by the light of the TV is probably not the best way to go.
　　 2. Limit distractions.
　　 Listening to your iPod and sending instant messages to 14 different people while you’re trying to study isn’t the method for success.
　　 3. Organize your time.
　　 Set aside a certain amount of time for homework every night. If you have nothing due the next day, you can work on long-term projects or read a book. Remember “delay = bad”.
　　 4. Keep track of assignments.
　　 The best way to do this is to use a homework planner. This planner should include not only your day-to-day assignments, but also a schedule for longer-term projects. In other words, if you have a research paper due in three weeks, you should write down when you need to have all your books and materials, when your notes should be done, when the first draft should be completed, etc. This prevents those nasty surprises when you suddenly have to write a whole paper in one evening.
　　 5. Ask, ask, ask.
　　 It’s important to ask the teacher at least one question each week but asking to going to the bathroom doesn’t count. You can hand in your paper and have the teacher check it over. This makes a big difference in making a student-teacher connection.
　　 6. Check your work.
　　 Everyone makes mistakes, but it’s better if you catch them rather than your teacher. Take the time to go over your work. And remember, four eyes are better than two, so get a parent to remember it as well.
　　 36. Which of the following is TRUE?
　　 A. It’s a good way to do your homework while lying on your bed.
　　 B. You can enjoy music as you do your homework.
　　 C. There is no need to go over your homework after finishing it.
　　 D. If one day you haven’t homework to do, you can read a book.
　　 37. We learn from the last paragraph but one that __________.
　　 A. you’d better ask the teacher a question every day
　　 B. “Shall I go to the bathroom?” is a good question
　　 C. You can communicate with your teacher after he checked your paper
　　 D. the more questions you ask, the better result you will get
　　 38. Who is most likely to benefit from the passage?
　　 A. Teachers. B. Parents.
　　C. Students. D. Researchers.
　　 39. What do we learn about “homework”?
　　 A. Generally speaking, students can finish their homework comfortably.
　　 B. Many students can accept their homework happily.
　　 C. Kids of all ages are unwilling to do the homework.
　　 D. It is easy for students to get good grades on homework.
　　 40. What’s the best title of the passage?
　　 A. Check your homework
　　 B. Tips for improving your homework grades
　　 C. Organize your time
　　 D. Homework

　　 Roger Allsopp, a 70-year-old breast cancer surgeon, bravely met challenges and has successfully swum across the English Channel, setting Guinness World Record, which will help him to raise more money to help cancer research.
　　 Roger’s story reminds me of my own experience. When I was a pupil, a student in our class fell ill. He was said to need a big sum of money to be treated. To our anxiety, it was impossible for his family to afford the operation at all. As a result, our teacher encouraged us students to collect some money. In order to save money, some students cancelled their breakfast. Some students sent the waste paper and books to the recycling bin, just to get some money. As for me, I earned money by selling newspapers every morning. In a word, it was our effort that helped his family out.
　　 At that time, although we were very tired, we felt happy because we made great efforts for his life.
