          According to a recent survey on money and relationships,36% of people are keeping a
    bank account from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in
    a relationship,in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all
    marriages ending in divorce,men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy,
    regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
          The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult,even more
    so when children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships,job and family life
    may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner,
    in other words,an"escape fund"．
          Margaret's story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of
    women in long－term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every
    month on pay day,she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her
    husband.She has been doing this throughout their six－year marriage and has built a nest egg
    worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings
    he'd be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn't sure of the marriage."He'd think it
    was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went
    wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is,but you
    can never be sure."
         Like many of her fellow secret savers,Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has
    since been very guarded about her own money.
         Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take
    Colleen for example,who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to
    her partner."I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I
    wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy
    day."
    1. The trend to keep a secret bank account is growing because________.
    A．"escape fund" helps one through rainy days
    B．days are getting harder and harder
    C．women are money sensitive
    D．financial conflicts often occur
    2．The underlined word "savvy" in Paragraph 1 probably means________.
    A．suspicious
    B．secure
    C．wise
    D．simple
    3．Which inference can we make about Margaret?
    A．She is a unique woman.
    B．She was once divorced.
    C．She is going to retire.
    D．She has many children.
    4. The author mentions Colleen's example to show________.
    A．any couple can avoid marriage conflicts
    B．privacy within marriage should be respected
    C．everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage
    D．financial disclosure is not necessarily bad
    5. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?______.
    A．Secret savers
    B．Love is what it's worth
    C．Banking honesty
    D．Once bitten,twice shy

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.
    But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon（跟腱）which means he could be out of action for around six months. With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.
    The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league. After attempting to kick the ball he collapsed to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered（被担架抬走）away.
    It is not yet known whether he has completely severed（切断）his Achilles tendon or only torn it. The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.
    England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.
    "We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement. "I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.
    "David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."
    Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed（共鸣）Capello's words of support:
    "It is a horrible situation for Beckham. I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.
    David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.
    Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.
    Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.
    If he could repeat the same feat，in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.
    So, perhaps all is not lost. Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:
    "You never want to write off（排除）David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back（恢复原状）."
    56．What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Beckham had a dream?
    B．Beckham—a great football player!
    C．The end for Beckham?
    D．World Cup in South Africa!
    57．What does the author mean by saying “missing it will be a big blow?”
    A．Missing the World Cup will be a big success.
    B．Missing Beckham means a great failure.
    C．Missing Beckham means an important opportunity for the American club LA Galaxy.
    D．Missing the World Cup means a big disappointment for Beckham.
    58．We may infer from the passage that____________
    A．Beckham will definitely not be able to play football again
    B．Beckham was cured by a great knee specialist he found
    C．Beckham has his ability to bounce back

    阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
         [1] Doctors may soon have some suggestions for health that even kids will like: more playtime. European
    and international health experts say a new study makes the most convincing case for the benefits of children
    being active. They say the research may lead to new guidelines saying youngsters aged between 5 and 16 need
    to be active up to 1.5 hours a day.
         [2] Experts said the study doesn't mean children need to be on treadmills (跑步机) or in a soccer
    leagues-they just need to be able to run around and play physically, even for short bursts of time.
         [3] The study looked at 1,732 9-year-olds and 15-year-olds from Denmark, Estonia and Portugal. Physical
    activity was observed for four continuous days. Despite differences among the three coun- tries where children were observed, the benefits of physical activity were the same.
         [4] About 40 percent of those observed were reasonably ac- tive, while the rest were sedentary, researchers said. The study found that the benefits of physical activity applied to all children- not just to obese ( 肥胖的)
    children normally thought to be at a higher risk.
         [5] While much attention has been paid to children's bad eat- ing habits,this study calls for equal weight to
    be placed on activity levels.
         [6] "We don't need to be getting kids running on treadmills in the gym." said Cavil."We need to encourage
    kids to play." One of the study's key findings, he explained, is that it proves the benefit of short bursts of activity, rather than a need for continuous exercises.
         [7] But _____ perhaps the greatest factor in children's physical activ- ity will be the parents themselves."It's
    not just that children should be more active,it's the whole family," said Weiss."Parents should be role models."
    1. What idea can we get from the researchers' finding in the pas- sage?( No more than 15words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    2. What do you think parents should do to help their kids?( No more than 15 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    3. What do the children need to do to follow the doctors' sugges- tion?( No more than 15 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    4. Please explain the underlined word in English.( Only one word)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.

         On a recent morning in Clearwater, Florida, Maja Kazazic jumped down into water. From a distance, the
    dolphin seemed friendly enough. Still, Kazazic felt a little panic slide into her excitement. In spite of her fear,
    she felt strong wearing her new leg.
         In second grade in Bosnia, Kazazic lost her cousin, Jasmina. Kazazic promised she would honor Jasmina
    by swimming with a dolphin, an animal that both girls loved. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says
    Kazazic,"so I decided that someday I'd do it for her."
         However, in 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut just below
    the knee and she received her first artificial (人工的) leg in the US. Because there was so little bone left, and
    with her right leg also damaged, walking was rather painful, but she managed to graduate from college. She
    was able to play golf or tennis.
         Then one day a young dolphin, Winter, who had lost her tail, caught Kazazic's eye. Trainers were fitting
    Winter with a high-tech tail. When they were done, Winter dashed off through the water.
         Kazazic was excited. If she can do this, there's no way I can't, she thought. Within ten days, she had a
    new leg with the help of the inventor. Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise. "After being
    in a war, this should be a piece of cake," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. Then and there the
    two went on an hour-long swim around the pool.
         When Kazazic climbed out, she quietly said, "I feel like I owed (欠) somebody something, and now I've
    paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and cried till she lost her voice.
    1. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Kazazic's Promise.
    B. Jasmina's Death.
    C. Kazazic's Debt.
    D. A Dolphin's Tail.
    2. What does the underlined word "panic" mean in the first paragraph?
    [     ]
    A. Fear.
    B. Surprise.
    C. Excitement.
    D. Satisfaction.
    3. Which is the correct order of the following events?
        a. Kazazic was treated and received a new leg in the US.
        b. Kazazic made a promise to swim with a dolphin.
        c. Jasmina died in Bosnia when Kazazic was in second grade.
        d. Kazazic overcame difficulties and carried out her promise.
        e. Kazazic was badly injured in her legs during the war.
    [     ]
    A. b, c, e, a, d
    B. b, e, c, d, a
    C. c, b, e, a, d
    D. c, e, b, d, a
    4. Kazazic cried in her car after she swam with the dolphin because _____.
    [     ]
    A. she was sad her cousin couldn't do it with her
    B. she was excited her promise had come true
    C. she was afraid she would lose the other leg
    D. she was proud she didn't owe money to anybody
