And it's all true．（53）Athe other side of that equation is that the U．S．needs to save more．For the moment，American households actually are doing so．After the personal-savings rate （54）Bto zero in 2005，the shock of the economic （55）Blast year prompted people to snap （56）Ctheir wallets．In China，the household-savings rate exceeds 20%．It is partly for policy（57）A．As we've seen，wage earners are expected to （58）Dnot only their children but their aging parents．And there is，to date，only the flimsiest （脆弱的） of publicly-funded health care and pension systems，which increases incentives for individuals to save （59）Dthey are working．But China is a society that has （60）Aesteemed personal financial prudence （謹慎）．There is no （61）Cthat will change anytime soon，even if the government creates a better social safety net and successfully encourages greater consumer spending．
Why does the U．S．need to learn a little frugality （節(jié)儉）？Because healthy savings rates are one of the surest indicators of a country's long-term financial health．High savings lead，over time，to increased investment，which in turn generates productivity gains，（62）Cand job growth．（63）B，savings are the seed corn of a good economic harvest．

分析 本文講述了在全球經(jīng)濟危機的背景下，美國人要向中國人學習勤儉，學會儲蓄．為什么這樣做呢？文章中指出良好的儲蓄率能夠推動經(jīng)濟的繁榮．但即使美國家庭開始儲蓄更多，如果政府常年赤字的話，對美國來說還是"反儲蓄"的．所以文章的目的是敦促美國政府降低赤字，并在文末再一次強調(diào)要堅持向中國學習存多花少，

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least Once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2.3 and 4of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential.

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit,you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

17．Researchers are placing robotic dogs（機器狗）in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans．Alan Beck，an expert in human-animal relationship，and Nancy Edwards，a professor of nursing，are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression，physical activity，and life satisfaction．"No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active，challenged，or stimulated（刺激），"Edwards points out．"The problem is how we promote（使…成為現(xiàn)實）that，especially for those without friends or help．A robotic dog could be a solution．"
In the study，the robot，called AIBO，is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone．Before placing AIBO in the home，researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks．These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO．Then，the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner．
"I talk to him all the time，and he responds to my voice，"says a seventy-year-old lady，"When I'm watching TV，he'll stay in my arms until he wants down．He has a mind of his own．"
The AIBOs respond to certain orders．The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs，especially for old people．Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it．A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns．
"At the beginning，it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog，because it was metal and not furry．"Beck says．"But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief．"
"Hopefully，down the road，these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper．They will record their masters'blood pressure，oxygen levels．Or heart rhythms．AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds．"

32．The purpose of Beck and Edwards'study is toB．
A．understand human-animal relationship
B．make lonely old people's life better
C．find the causes of old people's loneliness
D．promote the animal-assisted research
33．In the research，the old people are asked toC．
A．note the activities of AIBOs
B．keep AIBOs at home for 12weeks
C．record their feelings and activity
D．a(chǎn)nalyze the collected information
34．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs？A
A．It is easier to keep at home．
B．It can help the disabled people．
C．It responds to all the human orders．
D．It can watch TV with its owner．
35．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs mayB．
A．cure certain diseases
B．keep old people active
C．change people's beliefs
D．look more like real gods．

4．Teen drivers，be careful：Mum and Dad will soon know exactly how fast and how far you drove their car．And if you don't use the seat belt，don't even think about turning on the stereo，which allows you to listen to the music in your car．
At the 2015New Year International Auto Show，American car maker Chevrolet gives your parents the power to check on your driving．
The"Teen Driver"feature（特征）appears with the 2016Chevrolet Malibu，a new type of mid-size car．
The system is very user-friendly．Parents with a private code（密碼）can pull up a dashboard（儀表板）display，including highest speeds reached and distance driven．
Chevrolet isn't the first car maker to offer such technology．For example，F(xiàn)ord has a similar system called MyKey．But"the industry is moving toward highly developed controls over a teen's driving，"said Andy Gryc，a car technology expert．
Chevrolet said it is a safety need．"Teens are more likely to be involved in a car accident，so many parents were asking us to bring something to market that can teach safe driving habits，"said Chevrolet communications manager Chad Lyons．
Teens are three times more likely to die in traffic accidents than grown-ups，according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety （IIHS）．
Lyons thinks that a big problem is distracted（注意力分散）driving，such as texting or listening to music．
Teens with their friends in the car like to listen to loud music．"If the driver and the front passenger aren't wearing their seat belts，the stereo won't turn on，"said Lyons．"Parents can also control the level of sound．"
If a teen driver goes beyond a certain speed，the car can speak to the driver，warning them of their speed．
"It's a way for parents to feel safe while they're not in the car with their teen，"Lyons said．

25．MyKey is similar to the"Teen Driver"feature because of  itsA．
A．purpose           B．shape        C．quality         D．type
26．How can the feature prevent distracted driving？C
A．By telling teens about their speed．
B．By stopping drivers from texting．
C．By avoiding loud music in the car．
D．By asking people to use seat belts．
27．What is the text mainly about？A
A．A new technology for road safety．
B．An international car show for teens．
C．An unusual kind of stereo safety system．
D．A new type of fast-speed car．

14．The city of Los Angeles is finally getting serious about retrofitting（翻修） the soft wood frame apartment buildings and the weak concrete ones that are at risk of collapsing during a substantial earthquake．A concrete building without adequate steel reinforcement can crumble to the ground，as some did in the 1971Sylmar earthquake，killing dozens．
The first step is to take a list of the 29，000apartment buildings that were built before 1978，when the building code was changed to require stronger wood frame and concrete buildings．The second step will be the analysis of those buildings by structural experts to see if they should be  retrofitted，which needs essential professionalism．Then comes the stage to decide who pays for the work that needs to be done，Landlords？Renters？Taxpayers？The step posed the biggest obstacle to all parties involved．
Actually Under L．A．'s rent control law，property owners can pass on 100% of the cost of‘essential'retrofitting work to renters．Some favor this pass-through move，arguing that many mom-and-pop landlords of small buildings are as cash-strapped as one can imagine，if not more so．
However，the reality is that，like many landlords，the insolvency of most renters will finally make the retrofitting an empty talk．Besides，the cost of retrofitting should not fall on any one group as this work is done to prevent people from being killed in earthquakes．Protecting buildings serves the interests of renters，property owners and the city as a whole，which qualifies it as a matter of public safety issue so that L．A．government needs to find ways to shoulder some burden of the cost．
It has been decided by the city government that the government will get involved，trying to find ways to reduce costs for landlords for the retrofitting projects，and the government is establishing a law to create a tax reduction for retrofitting for landlords．It's not clear at this point how much tax the state could afford to give up，or how much tax cut owners can get．Some even say that the actual financial assistance landlords can get is far less than is expected．However，what it's known definitely now is that Los Angeles must not allow retrofitting to be put off although the money issue poses a big problem．The bottom line is the human life rather than money．

74．According to the passage，which issue is the most essential in deciding the future of the city's retrofitting project？D
A．Having all the parties involved aware of the importance of retrofitting．
B．Making a list of all the buildings that were built before a certain date．
C．Deciding professionally on whether the listed buildings need retrofitting．
D．Working out adequate ways to provide financial support for retrofitting．
75．According to the passage，the underlined word insolvencyis closest in meaning toA．
A．not having enough money to pay debts
B．poor relationship with landlords
C．unwillingness to participate
D．unfair treatment received
76．Which of the following is implied about the retrofitting project？C
A．Most L．A．a(chǎn)partments are of Soft wood frame or of weak concrete．
B．According to L．A．rent law，landlords and renters share the cost for retrofit work．
C．According to government decision，owners will mainly be responsible for the retrofit．
D．Government will pay mainly for the retrofitting work as it relates with people's life．
77．What is the main idea of the passage？B
A．The likelihood of weak apartment falling in big earthquakes．
B．The background of LA apartment retrofit and its financial solution．
C．The argument between landlords，renters and governments over money issues．
D．The importance of LA government's involvement in life-saving projects．

18．Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full time job．The two people willingly act as part-time workers，enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker．If they each work half the job，for example，they each receive 50percent of the job's wages，its holidays and its other benefits．

Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing，which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job，thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people．Job sharing，by contrast，is not designed to deal with unemployment problems； its focus，rather，is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities．
As would be expected，most job sharers are women．A survey carried out in 2010by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78per cent of sharers were female，the majority of whom were，between 20and 40years of age．Subsequent studies have come up with similar results．Many of these women were reentering the job market after having had children，but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status．Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence．
The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs．However，to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed，each person needs to know the strengths，weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position．Moreover，there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones．In sum，for a position to be job-shared well，the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

81．What is work sharing designed to do？
to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals
82．According to paragraph 4，why did young mothers prefer job sharing to conventional part-time work？
Because the part-time work is lower status and job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work．
83．In job sharing the partners shouldbe well matched and must treat each other as equals．
84．The main purpose of the passage is tointroduce job sharing to us．．
