You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Young people and older people do not always agree to each other. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, older people and young people live together in peace.
Each summer 200 young people and 60 older people live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy. It is to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some learn to make furniture and build houses. Older people teach them these skills.
When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the young people and the older people make the rules together. If someone breaks the rules, the problem goes before the whole group. The group discusses the problem. They ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”
One of the young people has his own experience: “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn to think about the group.”

Passage Two
The greatest attraction of walking is that we all know perfectly well how to do it. Because it is a low-impact exercise, it is a good choice for anyone who is overweight and under-exercised.
It won’t stress your joints, but it will strengthen your hear t and lungs, thigh muscles and burn plenty of calories. A nice, leisurely stroll, in which you cover a mile in an hour, burns about 100 calories per mile. Speeding things up a little—to 2 miles per hour—will help you burn 200 calories, while a brisk walk—3 miles per hour—burns 300 calories an hour.
Another nice thing about walking is that you can begin your new walking program right now. The sport requires no advanced instruction and little equipment, beyond willing legs and a pair of sturdy shoes.
Walking has two other advantages: It can be done anywhere, under any conditions, and it is a very social sport. Simply grab a few friends and turn your daily coffee-and-doughnut break into on-the-road conversation time. You’ll soon be entranced by the beauty of the outdoors and by the emerging beauty of the inner, thinner you.
46. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The types of walking.
B. The advantages of walking.
C. The instructions in walking.
D. The greatest attraction of walking.
47. How many calories would be burnt if you have a brisk walk for half an hour?
A. 100
B. 150
C. 200
D. 250
48. What does the word “sturdy” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. beautiful and fashionable
B. clean and plain
C. strong and firm
D. cheap and soft
49. According to the passage, which of the following is not the advantage of
walking?
A. We can begin our new walking program without any advanced instruction.
B. We can begin our new walking program at any time we like.
C. We can begin our new walking program at any place we like.
D. We can begin our new walking program with anyone we like.
50. What we can infer from the passage?
A. Walking can strengthen our heart and lungs.
B. Walking can burn plenty of calories.
C. Walking can be done anywhere at anytime.
D. Walking can help us in building up our social relationship.
Passage Three
Valentine’s Day is a holiday dedicated to lovers. It is celebrated on February 14 by the custom of sending greeting cards or gifts to express affection to a chosen partner. The cards, known as valentines, are generally sent anonymously and are often designed with hearts to symbolize love. Originally a festival for shepherds (牧羊人) , it was celebrated in honor of Faunus (福纳斯：畜牧农林神) . Its primary purpose was to secure fertility (多产) for the fields, the flocks (羊群) , and the shepherds themselves. The festival gradually became associated with the feast day (February 14) of two Roman martyrs (殉教者), both named St. Valentine, who lived in the 3rd century, but about whom nothing specific is known. St. Valentine has traditionally been regarded as the saint (圣人)of lovers. An early reference is found in the works of Chaucer, who states that birds pair on St. Valentine’s D ay.

Passage Four
Human beings usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can live without considering the interests of others as well as his own interests. “Society” means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust or harmful to others. One man’s decision may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friend’s house. He sets out, driving at full speed. There are other vehicles and also walkers on the road. Suddenly there is a crash. The careless motorist has struck another car. The accident injured two of the passengers and killed the third. Too many road accidents happen through the thoughtlessness of selfish drivers.
We have governments, the police and the law courts to prevent or to punish such criminal acts. But in addition, everyone ought to observe certain rules of conduct. Every person ought to behave with consideration for other people. They ought not to steal, cheat, or destroy the property of others. There is no place of this sort of behavior in a civilized society.
56. A person cannot have his own way all the time because .
A. he may have no interest in other people
B. he cannot live without considering other people’s interest
C. his decisions are always unjust
D. his decisions always harm other people
57. According to the passage, people in a civilized society should usually .
A. be honest to each other
B. be careful in doing everything
C. behave in a responsible way
D. punish criminal acts
58. The purpose of this passage is to .
A. tell people how to behave in society
B. show the importance of laws
C. teach people how to prevent criminal acts
D. warn people not to make their own decisions
59. It is implied that there will be fewer road accidents if .
A. the drivers are more considerate of other people
B. there are fewer cars or walkers in the streets
C. the motorists are not always in a hurry
D. the roads are wider
60. It can be concluded that .
