36.B   

解析: 根據(jù)下文可知:人和昆蟲(chóng)在這種情況下是很不相同的,而不是近似的,所以我們不能選擇其他選項(xiàng)。

37.C   

解析: 短語(yǔ)make every possible effort的意思是盡一切可能去做某事。是一個(gè)常用短語(yǔ)。

38.D   

解析: 此題考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)的搭配。give (one's)attention to注意; 關(guān)心;pay attention to注意, 重視, 傾聽(tīng);draw sb.’s attention to sth. 促使某人注意某事。根據(jù)意思應(yīng)該選擇D項(xiàng)。

39.A    

解析:上文的show mercy on暗示我們此處應(yīng)該是一個(gè)不幸的人,故選A。

40.C   

解析: 此題還是考查動(dòng)詞辨異。pass by經(jīng)過(guò), 掠過(guò);leave out省去, 遺漏;set out出發(fā), 開(kāi)始, 裝飾等;get up起床。

41.B   

解析: 根據(jù)后文知道蜂王是藏在車身的后面,蜂群是跟在他的車后,故選B。

42.D   

解析: 因?yàn)檐嚭笥朽须s聲,所以他要下車檢查。

43.B   

解析: 中途停車,檢查沒(méi)有問(wèn)題后他要繼續(xù)趕路。故而要選擇B項(xiàng)。

44.D   

解析: 隨著汽車的啟動(dòng),蜂群也要繼續(xù)追趕汽車,所以立刻又起。根據(jù)意思排除其他幾項(xiàng)。

45.B   

解析: 他聽(tīng)到聲音迅速轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)頭來(lái),看后面是怎么回事。

46.A   

解析: 等他轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)頭來(lái),他才發(fā)現(xiàn)車后跟著一團(tuán)“黑云”,那是黑壓壓的蜂群。

47.C   

解析: 有人告訴他,蜂群能始終繞著他的車在飛,而不離開(kāi),說(shuō)明一定時(shí)有蜂王隱藏在他的車上。Nearby 更形象的描繪了蜂群繞車飛舞而不遠(yuǎn)離的情形。

48.D   

解析: 當(dāng)他知道這一切后,他開(kāi)車飛奔想擺脫蜂群的糾纏,可想而知這是一個(gè)小時(shí)的艱難旅程。

49. A   

解析: 由后文暗示可知他找到了一家hotel.

50. D   

解析: it was not long before 這是一個(gè)固定句式,常譯為“沒(méi)過(guò)多久,就……..”

51. C   

解析: 沒(méi)有多久,一位剛才看見(jiàn)他進(jìn)來(lái)的人“急忙”趕來(lái)告訴他關(guān)于他的車的事。

52. B   

解析: 那人告訴他:他的車已經(jīng)被蜂群團(tuán)團(tuán)圍住了。Crowded是擁擠的,不符合題意。

53. A   

解析: 有人給他出主意,“建議”他去找一個(gè)養(yǎng)蜂人。

54. A   

解析: 從上句中可以看出正確答案的。

55. C   

解析: 養(yǎng)蜂人得到了一個(gè)蜂王和它的蜂群,這自然是一個(gè)意想不到的收獲了!故我們應(yīng)該選擇unexpected.較為合適。

How to Make a Budget(預(yù)算)

Most likely, you aren’t the family breadwinner. But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance(零花錢(qián)) would put some money in your pocket. For kids and grown-ups alike, money is easy to spend. If you aren’t careful, it can be gone in no time.

Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn-and the sooner you start the better. Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special, creating a budget can help you deal with your expenses and plan for the future. All you need are paper and a pencil-and some self-control.

First, take a look at our sample monthly budget. Then, use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own. In the first two columns(欄), list your sources(來(lái)源) of income and how much you expect to earn form them. In the third and fourth columns, list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.

The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total. If it is, you have an effective budget.

Budgets are not complex, but sticking to them can be tough. When planning your budget, be realistic about your expenses. If you know that you drop $ 18 at a movie, don’t write $ 12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.

If you are eyeing a big purchase, such as a $ 150 skateboard, spend less and save more until you have the total amount. No matter how attractive it may be, avoid spending your savings. One day, you will thank yourself?

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition . Some value it highly . believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity . Others say that competition is bad ; that it sets one person against another ; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people .

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied (依賴)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills .For them , playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs . In their single-minded pursuit ( 追求)of success , the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten .

However . while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed , others take an opposite attitude .In a culture which ualues only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players , they strongly blame competition . Among the most vocal  are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society . Teaching these young people . I often observe in them a desire to fail . They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success . By not trying , they always have an excuse : “I may have lost . but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try . “What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot . Such a loss would be a measure of their worth . Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves . Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others . Both are afraid of not being valued . Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (緩解) can we discover a new meaning in competition .

       C.those who are against competition most strongly

       D.those who rely on others most for success

74.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail” ?

       B.One’s success in competition needs great efforts .

       C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills .

Chances

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(職業(yè)).

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me, I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(資格證書(shū))if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

  The population of the United States is growing older and will continue to do so.

According to a report, 39 million Americans will be 65 or older by the yew 2010, 51 million by 2020, and 65 million by 2030.

   The "graying" of the United States is mainly due to the fact that people in the U. S. living longer. As a matter of fact, the number of U.S. citizens 85 years old and older is growing six times as fast as the rest of the population. It is also largely due to the old-growing of the "baby boomers," the generation born after World War II. In 1957, over 4.3 million babies were born. More than 75 million Americans were born between 1946 and 1964, the largest generation in U.S. history. In less than twenty pears, millions of them will become elderly people.

   The "graying" of the U.S. will greatly affect the nation's family and workforce. One likely development will be a gradual change in the family unit; it will move away from the nuclear family and towards a multigenerational family. The other likely development will be a change m the proportion (比例) of the nation's workforce. In 1989 there were 3.5 workers for every person 65 and older; by the year 2030, there will only be 2 workers for every person 65 and older.
