第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A.B.C和D）中，选出最佳答案，并在

答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to sixteen received a full

financial education got lost in the “wash up". An application is calling on the

next government to bring it back.

At school the children are taught to add up and subtract（减法） but,

extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account-let alone

how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.

Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin

Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial

education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children

from five to sixteen should be taught about everything from pocket money to

pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the children,

schools and families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called

¨wash-up" earlier this month-the rush to legislation before parliament was

dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always

been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.

As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits

of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven to ll-year-olds are savers

but by the time they get t0 17, over half of them are in debt to family and

friends. By this age, 26% see a credit or overdraft（透支）as a way of extending

their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much

harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have been fallen many of

their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education

while at school".

The UK has been in the worst financial recession（衰退）for generations. It

does seem odd that-unless parents step in-young people are left in the dark

until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at

university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial

education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.

21. The passage is mainly about

A. how to manage school lessons

B. how to deal with the financial crisis

C. teaching young people about money

D. teaching students how to study effectively

22. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that

A. the author complains about the school education

B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract

C. students have been taught to manage their finances

D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out

23. The website and the consumer campaigner joined to

A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money

B. promote the connection of schools and families

C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament

D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education

B

Tayka Hotel de Sal

Where: Tahua, Bolivia

How much: About $ 95 a night

Why it's cool: You've stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That's

something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt-including

the beds (though you'll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets). The hotel sits

on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake which is the world's biggest

salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks,

and glue them together with a paste (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries.

When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to

strengthen the bricks.

Green Magic Nature Resort

Where: Vythiri, India

How much: About $ 240 a night

Why it's cool: Taking a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is

just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window-there is

no glass! -you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(罩篷). Later

you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the

main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don't even

have to come down for breakfast-the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn

“elevator" .

Dog Bark Park Inn B&B

Where: Cottonwood, Idaho

How much: $ 92 a night

Why it's cool: This doghouse isn't just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-

foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his

hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can relax in the main bedroom, go up

a few steps of the loft(阁楼) in Willy's head, or hang out inside his nose.

Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet

in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant(消防栓) outside.

Gamirasu Cave Hotel

Where: Ayvali, Turkey

How much: Between $ 130 and $ 450 a night

Why it's cool: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago,

when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash. But your stay

will be much more modern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect

from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms

cool in summer. (Don't worry-there is heat in winter. )

A. It is located on a prehistoric lake.

It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid-off co-workers

out for a drink for comfort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless

or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University

of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.

Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on

various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people

who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as

those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may

“bottom out" after about six months, and then even begin to improve, the

mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just

continues to get worse and worse", Burchell says.
