　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly(老年人) and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.

　　First，

　　employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible，

　　a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees，

　　it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.

　　Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.

　　In addition，

　　the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(養老金). Furthermore，

　　some institutions should be created for senior citizens，

　　which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately，

　　as the present situation in our country shows，

　　this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly，

　　particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.

　　One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.

　　To sum up，

　　all these options(選擇)have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore，

　　it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.

　　31．What is the passage mainly about？

　　A．The problems faced by the old in society.

　　B．Why we should take responsibility for the old.

　　C．How we can improve the lives of the old.

　　D．Where the old can go to get their pensions.

　　32．According to the passage，

　　how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people？

　　A．Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.

　　B．Increase savings levels of people during their working years.

　　C．Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.

　　D．Make available pensions for those who have retired.

　　33．The underlined word “viable” most probably means “________”.

　　A．impossible

　　B．practical

　　C．useful

　　D．successful

　　34．What can be concluded from the passage？

　　A．Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.

　　B．Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.

　　C．Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.

　　D．There is no single solution to the problems of the old.

　　Ⅳ.補全對話

　　根據對話內容，從對話后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項多余選項。

　　—There is an art festival at school this month.__35__

　　—Well， I am considering whether I will take part in it.

　　—Why？ You dance so well.__36__

　　—Yes， I am always looking forward to the chance. But unluckily， I hurt my left ankle last Sunday.

　　—Oh， that is terrible！ Have you seen a doctor？

　　—Yes， nothing serious. But I have to rest for a week.

　　—__37__

　　—Better. I can walk for a while but still can't jump or run.

　　—Don't worry. As the doctor said， I think you will be OK soon. There is still three weeks left for the festival. Time is enough for you to recover yourself.__38__

　　—Good idea.__39__If I know well of the rhythm ahead of time， then what I need to do after recovery is only to practice the dance.

　　—Yes， so it is not necessary to consider giving it up now.

　　A．What do you think of it？

　　B．We all think it is a good chance for you to show yourself.

　　C．What program will you prepare for it？

　　D．I hope you are better now.

　　E．Why not do some preparations for your dance during these days to save time？

　　F．How are you feeling now？

　　G．I can choose the music to dance now.

　　課時作業(十五)

　　Ⅰ.1.B　考查時態。電話在“我”進門之前一直響個不停，應該使用過去進行時。

　　2．C　考查動詞(詞組)辨析。experience體驗，經歷。表示“去度假”要說go on a holiday; 表示“嘗試”要用try，而try out指“試驗，試用”；表示“聽說過”要用hear of 而不是hear。

　　3．D　根據句子結構分析：第一空是非謂語動詞作狀語，strike 與邏輯主語Taiwan為動賓關系，所以用過去分詞作狀語；第二空是句子的謂語，且事件發生在過去，所以選D。

　　4．A　考查副詞短語的區別。how far有兩個用法，其一是用于對距離的提問，其二是詢問到什么程度或范圍；how soon表示多久以后；how often詢問頻率；how long詢問多長時間。本題是說，學生們想知道他們與新來的教師會相處得如何，how far表示程度，修飾go with a new teacher。

　　5．D　unfortunately不幸的是，符合語意：兩名中年乘客掉進了海里，不幸的是，沒有一個會游泳。

　　6．B　考查動詞辨析。動詞beat表示“連續不斷地擊打、拍打”。而hit表示“擊中”；strike表示“打，擊”；pat表示“輕拍”。

　　7. B　It occurs to sb that…某人突然想到……，若用strike則應改為Did it strike you that…？

　　8. A　本題考查動詞詞組辨析。句意：很遺憾大多數減肥者最后又胖了起來。end up doing以……告終。

　　9．D　“手提箱消失”是在“回到家”之前，因此用過去完成時。

　　10．B　be buried in埋頭于，聚精會神于；be caught in遭遇到，被困住；be stuck in被困于，陷入。根據語境B項合適。

　　.本文為記敘文。故事發生在1989年美國大地震中，一個父親靠一個諾言(a promise)救出了被困在廢墟下長達38個小時的兒子。

　　11．B　only to do sth表示“結果卻，不料”，作結果狀語，表示該結果在主語的預料之外。

　　12.

　　A　這四個選項都是英語習語，根據本段第一句an 8. 2 earthquake almost flattened America判斷，選擇A項。

　　13.

　　D　句意：……他想起了他曾對兒子許下的諾言……。memorize是“背誦，熟記”的意思，不合題意。

　　14.

　　A　從結構上分析，該句是省略了謂語動詞的省略句，省略謂語之后，意義仍然清楚；如不省略動詞，則謂語使用第三人稱單數happens。從意義上分析，可排除C、D兩項。

　　15.

　　A　表示“流淚”，這幾個動詞都可以表示這個意義，但句式搭配不同，其表現形式分別為Tears fill his eyes. Tears come into his eyes. He bursts into tears.

　　16.

　　B　句意：他不停地想起他對兒子許下的諾言。

　　17.

　　B　dig掘(土)，挖；dig through在……里挖掘；dig out 發掘出；dig into 鉆研。由句意知選B。

　　18.

　　D　從結構上分析，應該用現在分詞作伴隨狀語。
