A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older peopl
19、e live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developingcountries.It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for
20、 the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？ One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live ,the more
21、likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older
22、people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much nee
23、ds to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a countrys development. Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both publi
24、c and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net. To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is surethere is no time to be lost.56. The proportion of older people . A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries B. w
25、ill increase much faster in China than in France C. is one-seventh of the population in developing countries D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 202057.

27、r generationsD. be ignored as society changes59.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem？ A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment. B.

28、le. D. Providing free health care for sick older people.60. The author concludes in the last paragraph that . A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem B. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem C. population ageing is a hard problem,but it needs to be s
29、olved urgently D. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problemBUniversity of Maryland student Ben Simon and his friends couldn t stand to see good food thrown out on their campus. We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end o
30、f the day. And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we would donate it. And they were on board, he said.So 18 months ago, the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network. Each night, volunteers would show up at a camp
31、us dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks. So far, they have donated more than 23 000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.Nationwide, $ 165 billion worth of food is wasted each year, according to the National Resources Defense Council.Sp
32、okesman Bob Keefe says that is about 40% of the country s entire food production. If we can reduce our waste in this country by 15% ,we can feed 25 million hungry Americans. That is a huge benefit. That is what programs like this Food Recovery Network are doing, he said.Christian Life Center is one
33、of the beneficiaries ( 受益) of the students efforts. Ben Slye, the senior pastor (牧师) ,said, It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time, their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this. Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over hun
34、dred people.The University of Maryland s Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the program has expanded to 18 schools across the country. I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years. And once we get to the Food Recovery Nation being at every college campus in Ameri
35、ca, we want to expand to restaurants and farms. said Simon.The volunteers are committed to making that happen.61. The dining services in University of Maryland .

38、and the program to restaurants and farms65. What can be the best title for the text? A. Battles Against the Problem of Hunger B. College Students Rescue Leftover Food C. How to Pick up Leftovers on College CampusesD. Waste Problems in University of MarylandC A euphemism (from the Greek words eu-well
39、 and pheme-speak) is a word or expression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions. Most people, for example, would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged fo
40、r their sick old dog to be killed. They would soften the pain by sayingWe had Ruby put down or We had Ruby put to sleep. Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly, or cuddly rather than fat.Euphemisms are an important part of every language, but it seems that English has an ever-growing num
41、ber of them. The non-native speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears, he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation. He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom, or comfort s
42、tation) is, but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog. He might have learned, for example, that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant. If, however, he says to his boss, Congratulations! I hear your wife is in the fam
43、ily way, he would be using an expression that is too familiar for the circumstances.Schools are full of euphemisms. At Frankfurt International School, for example, the special lessons given to students who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school
44、) and Aca-demic Workshop (in the high school). Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward,and usually choose a softer word or expression to convey the same message.66. According to the passage, people use euphemisms in order to .A. make themselves
45、 understoodB. attract attentionC. to sound straightforwardD. avoid embarrassment67. A person who is described as plain and cuddly is in fact .A. tall and handsome B ugly and fatC. ugly but tall D. . pretty and slim68. When an English lady says she has to see a man about a dog, she might want to .A.
46、go to the toilet B. see an ugly friendC. have her old dog killed D. see a pregnant woman69. The main purpose of Paragraph 2 is to .A. stress that euphemisms are an important part of every languageB. inform readers that English has an ever-growing number of euphemismsC. warn English learners to be careful about the meaning and use of euphemismsD. suggest non-native speakers use euphemisms as often as possible70. At Frankfurt International School, the students who receive lesso
