    B
    Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the longest and most costly presidential campaign in American history. The election results were widely seen as a strong statement by voters on economy. A public opinion study reported by the Wall Street Journal found that about sixty percent of voters considered the economy as the top issue.
    Mr. Obama faces the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Dow Jones Industrial Average of leading stocks has lost nearly thirty of its value. The government seized the nation’s two largest home financing companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It also took control of the huge insurance company, A. I. G.  The government is now a share holder in nine of the country’s largest banks. That will expand to small banks , too. The amount spent on these rescue plans has been close to one trillion dollars. That amount could increase.
    Another problem the new administration faces is the budget deficit(赤字). Some experts predict the deficit for next year’s budget could be close to one trillion dollars. Some observers predict that the deficit will limit speeding in economic programs.
    Barack Obama has promised a tax cut for middle income Americans. He is seeking fifty billion dollars in aid for states and job creation programs. Mr. Obama has put forward a health care reform plan that costs fifty to sixty-five billion dollars. Obama is also seeking to spend one hundred and fifty billion dollars on new energy technologies over the next ten years.
    In addition, Mr. Obama has been discussing a program worth one hundred billion dollars. It includes spending in public works projects and aid to American states, cities and citizens.
    41. According to the passage, the election results suggested ___________________.
    A. how fierce the presidential campaign was
    B. the significance of the election in American history
    C. Obama promised to devote himself to economic development

    42. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is mentioned to show _________________.
    A. how serious the economic crisis is
    B. the value of all America’s stocks
    C. the economy was considered as the top issue
    D. what percentage of shares Obama has in leading stocks
    43. We know from the passage that _______________________.
    A. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are insurance companies
    B. the government will become a share holder in small banks
    C. money spent on the government’s rescue plan will be decreased
    D. the budget deficit will not affect the economic programs
    44. Which of the following statements does NOT belong to Obama’s rescue plans?
    A. Cutting taxes for middle income Americans.
    B. Seeking money for job creation programs.
    C. Putting forward a health care reform plan.

    45. The passage mainly tells us ____________________________.

And being bilingual can bring a person a number of benefits in various aspects. For example:
    A person can get cognitive(认知的) benefits from it. The bilingual people have two or more words for each idea and object. Therefore, a bilingual person can develop a creative thinking. The bilinguals are aware of which language should be spoken with which person in a particular situation.

    Being bilingual has a positive effect on a person's character. The bilinguals are able to switch between different languages and talk to different people in various languages.

    A bilingual education offers better curriculum(课程) results. The bilinguals tend to show a higher performance in examinations and tests. The bilinguals find it quite easy to learn and speak three, four or more languages.
    Being bilingual offers potential employment benefits. It offers a wider choice of jobs in various fields. The bilinguals can get a great many career opportunities in transport, tourism, public relations, marketing and sales, banking, translation, law, teaching and so on.

    A man noticed his father alive on television — five years after he thought he had cremated(火化) him. A body discovered three years after his disappearance in 2000 was thought to be the pensioner (a retired person), but it’s now emerged(显出) it wasn’t.
    When John Delaney disappeared, he was spending much of his time living outside, and sleeping on the streets. He was last seen in a hospice(收容所) in Manchester. His family searched the streets of the city for him but had no luck. So when a badly-rotten body was found in the grounds of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2003, wearing similar clothes, police believed it was Mr Delaney and his family held a funeral.
    But earlier this year his son, John Renehan, saw a picture of his father on a BBC programme.
    An appeal was being made for anyone who knew the man — who had memory loss—to give information.
    John Renehan:
    Well I knew at that very moment that was my dad. I knew at that very moment. Obviously his face, it was a bit changed, but I just knew at that very moment that was my dad. It emerged that John Delaney had been living in a care home for the last eight years.
    Police have admitted they made mistakes and their enquiries were insufficient. Mr Delaney’s son now wants to know the identity of the man he cremated — thinking it was his father.

    B．In 2003, they took a badly-rotten body for Mr Delaney.
    C．They didn’t give any information to John Renehan.
    D．They made John Renehan cremate the rotten body.
    43．The most probable reason why Delaney disappeared was that        .
    A．he had memory loss.                                   B．his family disliked him
    C．he liked to live outside                     D．he met with a friendly family
    44．It can be inferred from the passage that Delaney       .
    A．has recovered his memory
    B．often quarrelled with his family
    C．loitered(游荡) in the streets for 5 years
    D．was once a man with luck

    C
    After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why answer to the
    question, “What do you do?” is always, “Oh, I’m just a housewife.” JUST a housewife?” Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings, leading a scout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman.
    Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second．class or something similar? Where has this notion come from? Have we males made them feel this way? Has our society  made“going to work” outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day?  I would be every curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike．Dishes would  pie up．Food in the house would run out．There would be no learn clothes when needed．Walking and bus riding would increase．
    I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over．Oh，he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job，but how long would that last? Not 1ong, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework. There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after clearing out all the dog hairs from the bathtub. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to craw（爬）into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.
    64．What does the writer’s mother NOT do according to the first paragraph?
    A．Cooking.            B．Tidying the house.

    A．mother     B．citizen      C．similarity  D．thought
    66．We can learn from the second paragraph        .
    A．mothers are actually great women  B．our society looks down upon housewives
    C．housewives should go on a strike    D．doing housework is not important at all
    67．The possible main idea of the third paragraph is        .
    A．men should share housework with their wives
    B．attitude is not the only thing needed to do a job well
    C．kids are the most challenging part of the housework
