一．快速阅读（共 10 分，每小题 1 分）
Jennifer Bliss was no inexperienced lawyer when she moved back in with her parents. At 39, she had burned through her retirement funds after losing her law-firm job in July 2007. She gave the bank the keys to the home she was unable to sell in Grand Rapids, Mich., and last November, she packed up her two Great Danes and moved about 60 miles, to Lansing, to live with her mother and stepfather. “This has been awful,” says Bliss, who has sent out some 600 resumes nationwide looking for legal work or a managerial position in another field. “I went to law school to have a solid profession so that I wouldn’t wind up in a situation like this.”
The term boomerang children used to refer to young adults moving back in with their parents, but the recession is forcing people in their 30s and 40s and older--often with a spouse and kids in tow--to stay with the parents until they regain their financial footing. Since the recession began in December 2007, the US has lost 3.6 million jobs. An AARP survey released in May found that more than a third of retirees have had to help a child pay bills in the last year. And the number of multigenerational households has increased from 5 million in 2000 to 6.2 million in 2008, according to AARP. Crowded quarters, wounded pride and general anxiety about the global economic crisis do not make the most pleasant living situation. But there are ways to ease the transition.
Talk about Expectations
“And be sure to discuss one another’s needs up front,” says Brian Carpenter, a psychology professor at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. Failure to do so can lead to a lot of conflicts. That’s what happened when Michael Gallagher, 40, moved in with his mother in Los Angeles in October 2007 after he was fired from his job as an audio engineer. “When he came home to live, I was thinking ‘family’, and he was thinking ‘roommate’,” says BJ Gallagher, 59, an author and a video producer. “I would feel bad when he wouldn’t say hello when he walked in the door.” At the same time, her son felt she was checking up on him and “lurking”（潜伏）around, she says. “We both ended up disappointed and annoyed until we discussed it and dealt with it.”
Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United, an intergenerational advocacy group based in Washington, says it’s a good idea to create an approximate timetable for achieving specific goals, such as “get a job”, “move out”.
Build in Privacy
If possible, everyone should have at least some space of his or her own. For instance, when Michael Gallagher took over the part of his mother’s house that she had been using as an office, she moved her computer and video equipment into a much smaller room adjoining her bedroom. “We each needed our own space. There was no way around that,” BJ says of the rearranging she had to accommodate her son.
Share Household Expenses
Pay parents rent, or help with bills, and take over housework like mowing the lawn. “This way, everyone is helping in some way, and no one feels taken advantage of,” says Elizabeth Carll, a psychologist in Huntington, N. Y., who is an expert on dealing with stress. Bliss does all the cooking and cleaning. Michael Gallagher buys his own food, and beyond that, his mother says, he has “paid in trade” by persuading her to have the hip replacement she had needed for a while and by taking care of her after the operation.
Obey Grandparents’ Rules
In late 2006, John Kreuzer, 30, and his wife moved from Portland, Ore., into his in-laws’ house in San Jose, Calif., because he got a public relation job in Silicon Valley. They decided to keep staying there--with their two little kids--because Kreuzer’s father-in-law was laid off. As the job market got tighter, it just made sense for everyone to share living expenses in such a high-cost area, Kreuzer says.
Along the way, there have been differences of opinion when it comes to bringing up children. Kreuzer has explained to his children that they must abide by their grandparents’ rules, e.g., no roughhousing（打闹的）indoors. “My in-laws really help out with the kids while my wife and I are working,” he says. “I know that once we move out, my children will miss their time together with Grandma and Pop-pop.” Once we move out? That brings up one last point.
Be Realistic
The economy has to turn around someday, and in the meantime, rents are falling. In March, Kreuzer and his family are moving into a nearby town house with rent so cheap, he can continue to help his in-laws pay their monthly bills. Michael Gallagher also found a killer deal on a rental. He moved out of his mom’s place in November, but she has yet to rearrange her stuff. “I’m not moving anything back just yet,” she says. “With this awful economy, he could boomerang right back in here.”

三．阅读理解（共 30 分，每小题 2 分）
Passage 1
People over the age of 65 in the United States are called senior citizens. Most senior citizens retire or no longer work full time. Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren. For many senior citizens, the years after age 65 are not enjoyable. They may feel unproductive when no longer work. Their lives lose meaning. In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families. Moreover, they become more concerned about their heath as they grow older. If they live in big cities, they often worry about their safety.
Other senior citizens enjoy their lives. They feel free to do things they were not able to do when they were working and raising families. They now have time to enjoy hobbies and sports and travel. They associate with their fellow senior citizens who have common interests and equal free time. Many senior citizens move to retirement communities located in warm climates. Some senior citizens continue to work beyond retirement age. Many find new careers and professional opportunities after they retire.
The number of the senior citizens in the United States is increasing rapidly because people are living longer than before. The average life span for Americans is now more than 74 years. Because of their larger numbers and more active life styles, senior citizens are gaining social influence in the country both politically and economically. Their concerns are receiving a wider audience than ever before. The time may come when all Americans look forward to becoming senior citizens.
31. Many senior citizens are not happy due to the following reasons Except ____.
A. loneliness B. less money C. poor health D. meaningless life
32. It’s implied in the first paragraph that ____.
A. living in the country is safer for elder people than living in big cities
B. people become senior citizens in the U.S. at 65
C. most senior citizens live with their children
D. people retire at 65 in the U.S.
33.From the second paragraph we learn that ____.
A. senior citizens’ life can be enjoyable
B. senior citizens enjoy their lives
C. senior citizens enjoy living in retirement communities
D. senior citizens enjoy working after retirement
34. It can be learned from the passage that senior citizens must ____ to be happy.
A. have free time B. find fun in life C. continue to work D. live with their children
35. According to the writer, in the future, senior citizens will be ____.
A. enjoying a longer life span

C. highly respected
D. fewer in number
Passage 2
Everyone loves to eat! People in every country enjoy this activity. There are so many different kinds of food in the world 一 Chinese food, Italian food, South American food, Indian food, and many others. It's fun to eat and compare different types of cuisine. Italian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all - sometimes it's so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning!
Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many pars of the world. Lots of people love Chinese-style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crispier than American-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispiest cooked vegetables you can find.
Some people don’t like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more "fast food", such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often， Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. It’s easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.
Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an “art form”. Some people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly，each person has a different opinion about which country has the tastiest food. But people in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared.
36. The main idea of this passage is that .
A. American food is less delicious than food in other countries

37. We can infer from the passage that .
A. wine makes you mouth burn
B. French chefs love to be artists
C. South American food is not so spicy as Indian food
D. the most wonderful food comes from Eastern countries
38. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? .
A. French food is delicious, but not well prepared.
B. Indian food has to be enjoyed with Italian or French wine.
C. Chinese-style vegetables are possibly the crispest.
D. American food is believed to be the most difficult to cook.

Passage 3
From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books never weary us with their company. By turning the
page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the
Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
41. The main idea in the first paragraph is ____.
A. pleasure can only be derived from reading good books
B. a good book may distract our attention
C. people can read good books in different ways
D. enjoyment and satisfaction can be derived from reading good books
42. The main reason that people like their acquaintances in books is ____.
A. they are like human friends exactly
B. they never bore us in comparison with our human friends
C. they never hurt our feelings
D. they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragement
43. We forget our surroundings and even our identity because____.
A. the reading environment is very good
B. the book is extremely interesting and attractive
C. we are alone and no one interrupts us
D. we are asked to return the book the second day
44. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.
B. We can travel by book free of charge to our heart’s content
C. We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life.
D. Valuable experiences can be obtained from reading good books.
45. “The whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ____.
A. the world is more accessible in books than in reality
B. the world is easy to travel around as long as we walk
C. the world belongs to us whenever we ask
D. round-world trips can be made by everyone
