1．A current topic of debate is the amount of support and services we are willing to provide for disabled people．Many people believe that society has become more caring over the old．However，if we look back in time，this may not prove to be true．A good example can be found by looking at some remains（遺骸） of a prehistoric culture．
Several skeletons（骨架） were found in the Shanidar Cave in Iraq．It was the home of a tribe （部落） of Neanderthals who existed more than 40 000 years ago．One of these skeletons was a man about 40years old，an old age for that period．He is thought to have been killed by a falling stone．Careful study of the bones has shown that the man's right arm had never fully developed and had been cut off below the elbow（肘）．The condition of the teeth was also unlike that of other Neanderthal men's．They showed signs of excessive（過多）use，as if they had been used to make up for the lack of a right arm．
How could someone so disabled from his earliest years have survived to become an adult，and even live on to old age？Societies in such early times faced severe conditions．People who could hunt for meat were few．A disabled person must have needed to keep close to the cave and been provided with meat．In fact，more care were shown towards this disabled man during that time，which suggests that the ancient people did better in caring their disabled people than we do in present-day societies．Such concern indicates a sense of unity（團(tuán)結(jié)） and cooperation that made possible the future achievements of humanity．With this in mind，are we doing enough for the disabled？Rather than being too proud of the efforts that modern society has made，it would be wise to consider if we even equal the efforts of the old societies．

32．Considering the remains of this prehistoric culture makes usC．
A．believe that society has become more caring over time
B．look back at Iraq history with admiration
C．question if society has become more concerned about the disabled
D．want to give more support to primitive societies
33．The man could live until such an old age becauseC．
A．he could use his teeth very well
B．he didn't have to do any hunting
C．he was taken good care of
D．the environment was excellent
34．The example of this ancient tribe suggests thatD．
A．everyone could take part in most of the hunting activities
B．it was easy to find enough meat to feed everybody
C．life was not as difficult as modern man may think
D．they had greater care for human life than people commonly think
35．The author believes that true civilization is achievedC．
A．by looking to the future achievements of humanity
B．by modern people taking pride in their accomplishments
C．by supporting and taking care of all its members
D．only when we show proper concern for people living in the ancient time．

16．From a biological point，human life almost reads like a poem．It has its own rhythm，internal cycles of growth and decay．It begins with innocent childhood，followed by awkward adolescence trying to adapt itself to society with passions and curiosities．Then it reaches a manhood of intense activities，benefiting from experience and learning more about society and human nature．At middle age，there is a slight easing of tension，and a character of maturity like the ripening of fruit or long-preserved wine．Then in the sunset of our life，the endocrine（內(nèi)分泌）system in our body decreases the  biological activity．If we have a true philosophy of old age and have ordered our life pattern according to it，it is for us the age of peace，security and contentment．Finally，life flashes out and one goes into eternal sleep，never to wake up again．
One should be able to sense the beauty of this rhythm of life as we do while listening to  symphonies，appreciating its main theme，its conflict and the ending．The movements of these cycles are very much the same in a human's life，but the music must be written by the individual himself．In some souls，the unpleasant note becomes louder and finally covers the main rhythm．Sometimes the unpleasant note gains so much power that the music can no longer go on，and the individual shoots himself with a gun or jump into a river．
That is because his original theme has been showed extremely wildly for the lack of self-discipline，otherwise any human's life will run to its normal end naturally．There are sometimes in many of us too many staccatos （斷奏）or impetuses（強(qiáng)音）．Because the rhythm is wrong，the music is not pleasing to the ear．We may learn more of the rhythm of the grand rivers like the River Amazon，flowing steadily and eternally into the sea．
No one can say that life with childhood，manhood and old age is not a perfect arrangement．The day has its morning，noon and sunset，and the year has its seasons．And if we take this biological view of life and try to live according to the arrangement，no one can deny that life can be a poem．Shakespeare has expressed this idea more vividly in his passage about the seven stages of life，and a good many Chinese writers also have said about the same thing．Shakespeare was like Nature itself，and that is the greatest compliment we can pay to a writer．He merely lived，observed life and went away quietly and beautifully．

32．In which stage does curiosity drive a human to adjust to society？A
A．Teenage   
B．Babyhood   
C．Manhood   
D．Middle age
33．When a human life reaches his last stage，what can he easily acquire？D
A．Passion    
B．Tension     
C．Maturity    
D．Satisfaction
34．In paragraph 2 and 3，what does the writer suggest a person？C
A．Learning more about symphonies  
C．Controlling negative feelings earlier
B．Writing music by himself         
D．Writing music for money
35．What is the main idea of the passage？C
A．A human should live a romantic life like a poet
B．A human should have knowledge of music
C．A human is expected to act his age and accept what life is
D．A human should face death bravely when he is old．

4．Have you ever been sad because of failure？Please remember，for often，achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing．
A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house．As he was working，a couple of older boys stopped by to watch．"What are doing？"asked one of the visitors．"I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!"the boy answered excitedly．The older boys began to laugh，telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible．After a while，the boy picked up a jar．He showed it to the visitors．It was full of all kinds of stones and insects．Then he said calmly and confidently，"Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth，but look at what I've found during this period!"
The boy's goal was far too difficult，but it did cause him to go on．And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen，in other words，to cause us to keep working!
Not every goal will be fully achieved．Not every job will end up with a success．Not every dream will come true．But when you fall short of your aim，maybe you can say，"Yes，but look at what I've found along the way!There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!"It is in the digging that life is lived．It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense．
11．The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to beC．
A．brave                B．impolite             C．foolish            D．warm-hearted
12．Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys？B

1．Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
•Schedule yearly exams．（31）B Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．
•Protect against UV rays （紫外線）．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．（32）C
•Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．（33）G Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20-second break and look at something 20feet away．
•（34）A As part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．Vitamins（維生素） C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses（隱形眼鏡）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses，many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk．（35）F Otherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．

A．Eat your greens．
B．Eye care should begin early in life．
C．They can properly protect your eyes．
D．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins．
E．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight．
F．Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear．
G．This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness．
