1、Passage 8Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are
encouraged, but not forced, to ―leave the nest‖ and begin an independent life. After children leave
home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents
do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents
to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young
adults meet their future spouses through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious
institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve
of their choices.
In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves.
A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to
choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in
order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father‘s
business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father‘s workplace. This
independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other.
Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American
family. Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and
independence3. Based on the passage, it can be assumed that ______.
A. American young adults are likely to follow the suit of their parents
B. most American people never make major decisions for their children
C. American young adults possess cultural values of independence
D. once a young person steps into his twenties, he will leave his home permanently

1、Passage 5Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to
buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work,
they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as
money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money.
In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of
Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals were used as money too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the
center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have
used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin.
Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins
of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper
money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
1. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for
services?
4. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy
something expensive?
A. Because they are difficult for people to obtain.
B. Because they themselves are expensive, too.
C. Because they are not easy to carry around.
D. Because they are easy to steal.

1、Translation 7
The first written records of the ancient Olympic Games date to 776BC. The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a religious festival honoring Zeus( 宙 斯 ). The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The Olympic symbol consists of five interlaced rings of equal dimensions, representing the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. The Olympics truly took off as an international sporting event after 1924, when the 8th Olympic Games were held in Paris.
