Computer programmer David Jones earned ￡35, 000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card.Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.
He works for a small firm in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are finding jobs.David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards(信用卡)．
David got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels(普通成绩) and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs, ” he said.
“I suppose ￡35, 000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.” He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother ￡20 a week as he lives with his parents.But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school, ” he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time.I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school.Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility.You never know when the market might disappear.”

Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealth and put on weight.But the opposite is true for men，whose long-term health benefits when they move in with a female partner.
Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another，and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.
It leads men to eat more light meals，such as salads，fruit and vegetables，while women choose to make creamier，heavier dishes curry or rich pasta sauces，which may please their partner.
Women still have the strongest long-term influence over the couple's diet and lifestyle，as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.
The report，by Newcastle University's Human Nutrition Research Centre，reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK，North America and Australia，which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.
The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.
Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends，while the same finding has not been observed in men.
Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership，and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.
Report author and registered dietician Dr.Amelia Lake said，“The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”
语篇解读：本文是说纽卡斯尔大学的营养学专家的研究表明，同居让女人发胖让男人更健康。
6．According to the passage，moving in with a girlfriend，men __________.
A．have few changes of their dietary habits
B．have to eat more unhealthy foods
C．don't like foods high in fat and sugar at all
D．try to eat foods that their girlfriends like
解析：细节题。由第三段，特别是which may please their partner可知，男女双方会改变自己的饮食习惯来迎合对方， 因此男士会吃他的女伴喜欢吃的食物。
答案：D
7．The underlined word “light” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A．not very heavy
B．less in fat and sugar
C．gentle
D．not serious or important
解析：词意猜测题。由其后所举的例子salads，fruit and vegetables可推断，light 在此是“清淡的”的意思，脂肪和糖的含量比较少。
答案：B
8．According to the report by Newcastle University's Human Nutrition Research Centre，__________.
A．women put on weight only because they want to suit their other half
B．when men are faced with emotional stress，they will change their dietary habits
C．eating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couples
D．it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner
解析：推断题。根据倒数第二段可知C项正确。根据倒数第三段可知女士会增肥不仅是因为迎合了对方的口味，还因为食物有缓解情绪的原因，故A项错误；根据倒数第三段最后“while the same finding has not been observed in men”可知B项错误；D项文中没有提及。
答案：C
9. From the passage，we can infer that__________.
A．women should pay more attention to their partner's influence on them
B．more men will play roles of shopper and cook in most households
C．couples will not change their dietary habits and lifestyle to please their partner
D．long-term health of men benefits when they move in with a female partner

答案：C
I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters.Standing by her chair，looking at the ink bottle，pens and white paper，I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later，during her final illness，mother kept different things for my sister and brother.“But the desk，” she said again，“is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry，never saw her cry.I knew she loved me; she showed it in action.But as a young girl，I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened.And a gulf opened between us.I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”．But she lived “on the surface”．
As years passed and I had my own family.I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer，none came.
My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest and，finally，peace it seemed that nothing happened.I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother.I only knew that I had written it，and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me，as she'd never been able to，that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work.I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter，folded(折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer，my letter asks，in any way you choose，mother，you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
语篇解读：本文以妈妈的书桌为线索说明了妈妈对女儿的深沉的爱。
11．The writer began to love her mother's desk__________.
A．after mother died
B．before she became a writer

答案：C
12．The passage shows that __________.
A．mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B．mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C．mother cared much about her daughter in words
D．mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
解析：细节题。在文章中的三、四自然段中，从作者的字里行间我们可知：她妈妈外表冷谈，内心却对女儿充满了爱。
答案：A
13．The world “gulf” in the passage means__________.
A．deep understanding between the old and the young
B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter
C．free talks between mother and daughter
D．part of the sea going far in land
解析：推断题。妈妈的爱只表现在行动上，而作者则想要那种“heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter”，所以她们之间就产生了 gulf(隔阂)。由此可知gulf在这里是指妈妈和女儿之间的不同的想法，故选B。
答案：B
14．What did mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?
A．She had never received the letter.
B．For years，she often talked about the letter.

A．My letter to Mother
B．Mother and Children
C．My Mother's Desk
D．Talks between Mother and me
解析：主旨题。这个故事是以妈妈的书桌为线索引出的妈妈对作者的深沉的爱，所以选 C 项最佳。
答案：C

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years，it is that communication is very important，both when you disagree and when you get along.With any relationship，you need to let other person know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate，you drift apart(逐渐疏远)．When you are mad at your parents，or anyone else，not talking to them doesn't solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of another.It means that you can't just come home from school，go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say “Hi”，and see how their day was for five minutes，it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary，it would say “the exchange of ideas，the conveyance (表达)of information，correspondence (通信)，means of communication：a letter or a message”．To maintain (保持) a good relationship，you must keep communication strong.Let people know how you feel.Even if it's just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents，you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent.If you are trying to make them see something as you see it，tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say，but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example：one night，Sophie went to a street party with her friends.She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks，but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home.That would be rude.After all，they had been nice enough to take her along with them.Needless to say，she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first，not when Sophie explained why she was late，they weren't as mad and let the incident go.Communication is the key factor here.If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen，Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn't a one-way deal：it goes both ways.Just remember：if you get into a situation like Sophie's，telling the other person how you feel－listening is the key factor to communication.

第四节　读写任务(共1小题；满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Most people think it's fine to be “busy as a beaver (海狸)”．But actually，although beavers may work hard，often they don't get much done.
Beavers are good at building dams and most beaver dams are wonders of engineering.The best ones are strongly built of trees，stones，and mud.They are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.
Beavers think nothing of building a dam more than two hundred feet long.One dam，in Montana，was more than two thousand feet long.The largest one ever seen was in New Hampshire.It stretched four thousand feet.It made a lake large enough to hold forty beaver homes.
So beavers do build good dams.But they don't always build them in the right places.They just don't plan.They will build a dam across the widest part of the stream.They don't try to find a place where the stream is narrow.So a lot of their hard work is wasted.
Beavers should learn that it's not enough to be busy.You have to know what you're doing，too.For example，there was one Oregon beaver that really was a worker.It decided to fix a hole in a man-made dam.After five days of work it gave up.The hole it was trying to fill was the space that boats go through.

1．作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事．也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。
2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。
评分标准：
概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。

答案：
Beavers are very diligent dam-builders who can build extremely good dams.However，they sometimes don't know where to build the dams or which dams should be fixed only because they have no consciousness to make a plan.
The beavers' story illustrates the importance of planning.Without a plan the best intentions and efforts will not produce results.We shouldn't work blindly but have a clear idea of our purpose，the actions needed to achieve it，and how these should be ordered.
As a junior student，I achieved considerable success in learning English through the combination of hard work and planning.I prepared good materials with the help of my teacher，made plans for my daily study and self-monitored the whole process of my learning.I made rapid progress and became very confident.I think I couldn't have done it without a good plan.
Diligence is a key to success，but in my opinion，good plan is also essential.Through planning，we can develop clear goals，find more efficient and effective methods and thus have more opportunities to reach our goals than through hardworking alone.
