AOn Mother’s Day when we visited Mom in the hospital，she told us she believed that those operations had been worth it because they had bought her some time.“But now，it’s time to go home and‘take_care_of_business’．”Shortly after coming home，Mom announced that she planned to make a quilt，which she had never done before.When I asked why，she said，“Dying is boring，and it’s never too late to learn something new.”Over the nextfew months Mom worked hard on the quilt，a simple pattern called “Grandmother’s Garden”．As she picked up a piece of calico (印花厚布)，she would say，“This reminds me of the dress you wore on your first day of school，”or“This blue was your father’s favorite color.” Each recollection opened the door for a conversation about those things that she wanted to share.As the quilt grew，Mom weakened.It was a sad reminder that time was passing too quickly.In the end，she became too sick to work on the quilt.Mom died before the quilt was finished，but that was all right.She had creatively used it as a tool to teach me her final lesson，that the “business”of dying is something best done at home and not in the hospital.This is because the real“business”of dying is reaffirming (再次确认) relationships that have given one’s life meaning.Without my knowledge，two Christmases later，my husband’s parents finished the quilt for me.It was the most wonderful gift imaginable.Mom’s quilt has served our family in many ways she would have liked —picnic cloth，moving pad，bedspread，and wrap for her great­grandson.Each time，the quilt reminds me of the bond between generations and the important“business”of dying.21．Mom decided to go home because________.A．she wanted to spend her last days with her familyB．she wanted to celebrate Mother’s Day at homeC．hospital treatment turned out to be ineffectiveD．the family could not afford the money for treatment22．What does the underlined phrase“take care of business”mean here?A．To make money.B．To do something before dying.C．To run a company.D．To say goodbye to her family.23．By making a quilt，Mom wanted to________.A．recall the times she had spent with her familyB．relieve the pain that treatment brought herC．try something new to get rid of boredomD．leave her family a wonderful gift24．According to the text，which of the following is TRUE?A．The author asked her husband’s parents to design the quilt.B．Mom managed to finish the quilt before she died.C．Mom had never made a quilt before during her life.D．The author didn’t want Mom to make the quilt.BImmigration to the United Kingdom in the 21st century is larger than at any point in its history.As the global recession (经济衰退) bites，early evidence shows a reduction in the number of immigrants coming to work.However，new statistics indicate a high level of net immigration (净移民人数) is here to stay.Although the United Kingdom has received immigrants for centuries，the country used to be a net exporter of people；only from the mid­1980s did the United Kingdom become a country of immigrants.Nevertheless，the last decade differed greatly because of high levels of net immigration，a result of sustained economic growth for the last 15 years.Since 2004，immigration levels have been boosted by an extraordinary wave of mobility from Eastern European countries，particularly Poland，whose citizens have free movement and labor rights following their entering the European Union.Public anxiety about immigration，fueled by media attention，has risen with the number of immigrants.Monthly survey data from the Ipsos MORI agency shows that since the late 1990s，people have been considering immigration as one of the top three most important issues the country faces for all but a couple of months.Data from different sources shows a similarpicture，with between two­thirds and four­fifths of the public indicating a preference for less immigration.In this situation of rising numbers and rising anxiety，UK policymakers have attempted to draw up policies to manage immigration.They have responded by establishing a Points­Based System for Migration and new institutional arrangements，for example.But they continue to face a set of challenges—from convincing the public that the government is in control to meeting labor market needs.The current picture shows that the United Kingdom had about 6.9 million foreign­born citizens in 2008,11 percent of its population.The five largest foreign­born populations were from India，Poland，Pakistan，Ireland，and Germany.25．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that________.A．the economy of the UK is hardly influenced by the global recession B．there will be fewer immigrants coming to the UK in the future C．the UK didn’t receive immigrants until the mid－1980sD．the UK had more citizens who moved out than those moving in for centuries26．The underlined word “boosted” in the third paragraph is the closest in meaning to“________”．A．raised B．changedC．ignored D．stopped27．What does the writer think of the UK policymakers，reaction to the current immigration situation?A．The writer thinks they have done their best.B．The writer is totally disappointed by their reaction.C．The writer expects more action to be taken.D．The writer wants to give them some suggestions.28．What was the UK’s total population in 2008?A．About 6.9 million. B．About 11 million.C．About 20.8 million. D．About 62.7 million.CPeter，a high school student，was pretty busy with school，and he was on the soccer team.High school was hard，because everyone wanted to have nice clothes，hang out，drive cars，and all these cost money.Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got，so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun.So，he had to get a job.During his freshman year summer vacation，his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm.He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields，and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn.It was a hot，low­paying job.He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store.He put things on the shelf.It was a lot of lifting and carrying，and his arms were strong from this and the previous job.It was dull and didn’t pay much.He took some time off when soccer got serious，but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard.It was hot outside，but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall.He also learned a lot about building supplies.It still didn’t pay well.From there，he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family，but that was piecemeal.His first real job came the last year at school，when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store.It was his favorite job yet，but it still didn’t pay well.What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job！The only way to get that was to get trained or educated.He could go to school and get a 2­year degree in an office or technical position.His other choices were going to a 4­year college or joining the army.He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet，but he knew he had to do something.Jobs were a lot of work，money was hard to earn，but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things.Peter wanted the most out oflife，and that meant education.29．How many jobs had Peter taken?A．Three. B．Four.C．Five. D．Six.30．All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common：________.A．They didn’t pay wellB．They were dull and tiresomeC．They needed hard labourD．They were done during his vacation31．________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.A．Confidence B．EducationC．Opportunity D．Wisdom32．We can learn from the text that________.A．Peter knew what to do with his futureB．Peter’s father didn’t care about himC．it was very hard for Peter to make his choicesD．Peter was determined to do whatever he likedDAll social animals communicate with each other，from bees and ants to whales and apes，but only humans have developed a language which is more than a set of prearranged signals.Our speech even differs in a physical way from the communication of other animals.It comes from a cortical (脑皮层的) speech centre which does not respond instinctively (本能地)，but organizes sound and meaning on a rational (理性的) basis.This section of the brain is unique to humans.When and how the special talent for language developed is impossible to say.But it is generally assumed that its evolution must have been a long process.The beginning of human language will perhaps remain a mystery.By contrast the beginning of individual languages has been the subject ofvery detailed study over the past two centuries.There are about 5,000 languages spoken in the world today (a third of them in Africa)，but researchers group them together into relatively few families—probably less than nguages are linked to each other by shared words or sounds or grammatical constructions.The theory is that the members of each language group have descended from one language.In many cases that old language is judged by the experts to have been spoken in surprisingly recent times—as little as a few thousand years ago.The most widespread group of languages today is the Indo­European，spoken by half the world’s population.This entire group，ranging from Hindi and Persian to Norwegian and English，is believed to descend from the language of a tribe of nomads (游牧民族) wandering the plains of Eastern Europe and Western Asia (in modern terms centering on the Ukraine) as recently as about 3000 BC.From about 2000 BC people speaking Indo­European languages began to spread through Europe，finally reaching the Atlantic coast and the northern shores of the Mediterranean.They also reached far into Asia —occupying the Iranian plateau and much of India.Another language group，important in the early history of West Asia and still of great importance today，is the Semitic family of languages.These are also believed to come from the language of just one tribal group，possibly nomads in southern Arabia.33．The underlined word “descended”in Paragraph 5 probably means________.A．differed B．assumedC．suffered D．developed34．Compared with the Semitic languages，the Indo­European languages________.A．have a much longer historyB．have a very different originC．have more speakersD．have more complicated grammar35．What’s the text mainly about?A．The difference between animals and humans.B．The evolution of languages.C．Why can’t animals speak?D．The main languages in the world.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
