B
The family of a severely disabled teenager who has the mental age of a five-year-old were left angry after benefits officers demanded the girl be put through a fitness-to-work assessment. Ellie McDonald, 19, suffers from the extremely rare genetic disorder called Chromosome 7 Deletion, which means she is unable to eat, sleep or walk without the help of her mother Louise.
In preparation for Ellie leaving her special needs school, her mother and her full-time carer applied for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) to replace their child benefit payments. But the family were shocked to be told Ellie would need to be tested to rule out her being fit for work — a process Mrs McDonald branded "bureaucracy gone mad".
Now, since reports of Ellie’s situation came to light, the Department for Work and Pensions has said she is no longer required to do a Work Capability Assessment. The family, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, hit out at the government’s refusal to realise that Ellie, who cannot read or write and needs around-the-clock care, is entirely unfit to work.
They had been told they would have to wait up to a year to receive medical tests, in which time they would have missed out on around ￡200 a month they are entitled to. Mrs McDonald, 42, said, "Ellie is completely dependent on us — she is unable to do anything for herself and has been in care from birth."
"Two weeks before she left her special needs school we applied for Employment and Support Allowance as we would no longer be receiving child benefit."
24. It can be learned from the passage that Ellie .
A. is five years old B. has a rare disease
C. doesn’t go to school D. can eat by herself
25. Why do Ellie’s mother and her full-time carer apply for ESA?
A. To prepare for Ellie’s out-of-school life
B. To go on getting child benefit payments
C. To make Ellie finish her education as planned
D. To get Ellie to return to Norman as quickly as possible
26. What does the family think of benefits officers’ demand?
A. Strict but unimportant B. Scientific but unacceptable
C. Impractical and unnecessary D. Reasonable and considerate
27. The underlined part in the passage is closest in meaning to “_______________”
A. should not hope for B. have a desire to get
C. have the right to enjoy D. are honored to be given
C
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool－headed rivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize
politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the road man ship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
28. The passage mainly talks about________.
A. traffic jams
B. good manners
C. modern drivers
D. road politeness
29. Troubles on the road are often caused by________.
A. traffic jams
B. terrible road conditions
C. the behavior of the drivers
D. the great speed of modern life
30. According to the writer, a good driver should________.
A. beat back when forced to face rude driving
B. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
C. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
D. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
31. It is not always right for drivers to________.
A. master the roadmanship
B. neglect road politeness when they see it
C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness
D. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want
D
The practice of magic includes special words, actions, and objects. Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers.
Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons, spirits, or other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.
Magic actions Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle water on the ground. The magician's combined words and actions form a ceremony.
Magic objects Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish. But this term often refers to an object-for example, a carving or a dried snake-honored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects.
Many people carry magic objects called amulets to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rings with magic symbols.
The magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit their powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.
Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony.
32. What do magic words mean to people in some society?
A. They have no effect at all.
B. They have the power to kill devils.
C. They can be used whenever they want.
D. They have power if magician recites the right spells.
33. People believe magic actions will have an effect if they are accompanied by________.
A. the spells
B. medicine
C. magic objects
D. stones or rings engraved with magic symbols
34. According to the passage what kind of person can become a magician?
A. Only men
B. Only those inheriting their powers
C. Only women studying the magical arts
D. Almost all the people in some societies
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The Power of Magic
B. How to Practice Magic
C. The Choice of Magicians
D. How to Become a Magician

Music is constantly changing, and the ways we listen to it are changing, too. Far before the online music, when music couldn’t be recorded, you had to either play music yourself or hear someone else play the songs. 36 Next came the radio and there were many innovations(新发明)that followed. Now we are going digital.
37 Today, music lover discovered a good way of finding and sharing music through the Internet.
One type of online music radio station is designed to generate “unique” radio stations automatically(自动地). 38 The disadvantage, of course, is that the computer program was picking your music for you with the result that you had to spend a lot of time previewing, skipping and banning songs you didn’t like. 977 Music takes the customized listening experience to the next level with on-demand playlists.
39 On 977 Music, you can add in up to 1,000 songs that mix in your favorite music whichever way you like and play it over the Internet
