My grandfather is eighty years old now. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now not any more. Everyone is busy working. Mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now the family don’t eat home-cooked food any more.

And people today have TV and computers, and they don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think…..

March 2 is Old Stuff(物品) Day. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it. Because what’s better than finding something really great from days gone by
It’s so easy to forget things you have. And that’s not just the things in your home—in the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we sometimes leave behind.
We’ve learned to value(重视) what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It’s certain that old things still have their uses or charm(魅力). People today will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday.
You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop(旧货店). Another person’s old stuff could be your new stuff! Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity(慈善) shop. If you’re free, you could turn your old things like old clothes into new ones with just a little change.
Today could be a good day to visit your older family. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up.
Most of all, remember that today’s new stuff will one day be old stuff.
36．What is Old Stuff Day for
A．It’s to tell people to stop buying. B．It’s to throw away old things.
C．It’s to protect the traditional arts. D．It’s to enjoy and reuse old things.
37．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．Old things take too much room at home. B．Old things are still valuable and useful.
C．We may forget things that we have easily. D．People always clean up their houses.
38．According to the writer, which is NOT a proper way to deal with old things
A．Turning old things into new ones. B．Sending them to a charity shop.
C．Cutting them into small pieces. D．Giving them to someone else as gifts.
39．The purpose of writing this passage is to make readers ________.
A．realize the value of old things B．find out the importance of study
C．remember family history D．get on well with neighbors

41．officer 42．embarrassed 43．was canceled 44．discovery 45．disappeared
41．句意：一位官员终于帮助那位妇女找到了她丢失的女儿。
空格在不定冠词后面，判断填单数可数名词；office意为办公室，officer意为官员，可数名词；故答案为officer。
42．句意：你觉得她为此感到尴尬吗？
空格be后面，判断填形容词；embarrass意为使窘迫，其形容词形式为embarrassed，尴尬的,修饰人；故答案为embarrassed。
43．句意：由于天气恶劣，演出被取消了。
空格是句子的谓语，判断填动词；句子陈述发生过的事情，用一般过去时；主语the show是动作的承受者（被取消），判断空格填一般过去时被动语态；一般过去时的被动语态的构成为“was/were+过去分词”。the show是单数第三人称，be动词一般过去式为was，cancel的过去分词为规则变化，词尾+ed；故答案为was canceled。
44．句意：起初，他对这个发现很满意。
空格在定冠词后面，判断填名词；discover意为发现，其名词形式为discovery，故答案为discovery。
45．句意：我的字典从我离开的桌子上不见了。我找不到。
空格是句子的谓语，判断填动词，根据空格前助动词has的提示，判断空格填过去分词，构成现在完成时，disappear意为消失，动词，其过去分词为规则变化，词尾+ed；故答案为disappeared。
46． about to
根据“It’s reported that the medical team is going to start.”可知，空处表达“将要做某事”，be going to do sth.相当于be about to do sth.“即将做某事”。故填about；to。
47． had done
本句划线部分“had finished doing the work”表示的是动作，时态为过去完成时，结构为：had done。特殊疑问词已给出，后面应该是一般疑问句形式，分析空缺处可知，助动词应该用had，动词应该用done。故填had；done
48． had been on
我们8点10分到达。根据合并后的句子题干可知，此句可以表达为“我们8点10分到达时，会议已经开了10分钟。”根据“for ten minutes”可知，句子应用完成时，和一段时间连用时，谓语动词要用延续性动词，begin是非延续性动词，对应的延续性动词为be on。另外“会议的开始”发生在“我们到达”之前，“到达”是一般过去时，所以“会议的开始”应用过去完成时：had done。故填had；been；on。
49． hadn’t finished
分析原句可知，主句时态为过去完成时，其结构为“had+动词的过去分词”，变否定句时，只需在助动词had之后加not即可，had not的缩写形式为hadn’t。故填hadn’t；finished。
50． what the boy had
根据题干要求，合并为一句，根据句意及语境可知应改为含有宾语从句的复合句。句子“What has the boy done ”为特殊疑问句，所以从句的引导词为what“什么”，所以第一空为what；宾语从句语序为陈述语序，所以第二空和第三空应为从句的主语the boy；当主句时态为一般过去时，宾语从句的时态应用相应的过去时态，从句谓语“has done”应改为had done，所以第四空为had。故填what；the；boy；had。
