People in their sixties should go to university to retrain because they will be expected to work for longer before retirement, the Government has suggested.
Older workers who take courses to keep their skills up-to-date will be more likely to keep their jobs, claims David Willetts, the higher education minister. He said the age limit on student loans to cover tuition fees had been lifted, making a degree course “great value” for older people. His comments followed a government report which found that the country's future economic success would depend on the skills and contributions of older workers.
One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned thatthe ageing population will place a heavy burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer. The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028. Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younger workers in their thirties will be able to retire.
Mr Willetts, who is accompanying David Cameron in India, urged workers older
than 60 to give further education serious consideration.“There is certainly a
pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled，”he said.“Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay up-to-date with knowledge and skills you will be more employable.”
Mr Willetts said a university course had “wider” benefits, making people more likely to lead healthy lives.“Education is such a good thing that it is not reserved for only younger people，” he said.“ There will be people of all ages who will want to study. There is great value in lifelong learning.” Under previous rules, students in England would get a loan to cover tuition fees only if they were younger than 54.
Latest figures showed that only 1,940 undergraduates starting courses last year were older than 60, out of a total of 552,240 students in Britain. Some 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
67．We can learn from Paragraphs 1 & 2 that older workers ________.
A．have no chance to get a loan to cover tuition fees
B．may hold back the country's future economic success
C．are encouraged to go back to university and retrain
D．should be retrained after retirement
68．According to the passage, a person who is over ________ years old can draw a
pension in 2028 in Britain.
A．54　　　　 B．67 C．65 D．60
69．What does Mr Willetts think of education?
A．People of all ages can receive different education.
B. There is no need for workers older than 60 to receive further education.
C．University courses have nothing to do with a healthy life.
D．Education is only provided for younger people.
70．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Britain: entering the ageing state
B．Over60s are told: go back to university and retrain
C．The situation of education in Britain
D．The system of pension in Britain

【英语卷（解析）·2021届湖北省部分重点中学高三上学期起点考试（202208）】C7 C.
There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot ,” And she didn’t even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light ,the rivers, filling with fish, can turn into streams of gold . As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle , any frustration（苦恼）will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple , pink ,white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony . If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland , the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains . Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains , and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge . But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique . More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic (盖尔特) language “usqueb” or “water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland’s best-known drink: whisky.
59. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By giving descriptions. B. By following time order.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.
60. What is Ben Nevis special for?
A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel. B. The beauty of its surroundings.
C. The water from the mountain. D. The challenge up to its top.
61. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.
D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland。
62. The story of Queen Victoria is to show that _____.
A. the Queen is rich in tour experience
B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing
D. 1873 is a special year for the Queen
解析
59.选A，这道题考得很新颖，很少有高考题从写作手法入手来出题。A：“描写”；B：“依据时间挨次书写”；C：“分析缘由”；D：“作比较的写作手法”。其次段写的是威廉堡的渔趣，是描写手法。
60. 选C，最终一段先描写该地的山势地形，然后落到了“水”上。高山泉水（盖尔语里的“生命之水”）造就了举世出名的苏格兰威士忌。
61. 选B，B和D选项让我在做的时候，斟酌了很久。除了C项“探究苏格兰地理特征”和A项“介绍苏格兰风俗”错得比较明显，其他2个就要认真比较了。留意这两个单词：D项的“show the attraction”，B项的“describe”。表面上作者确是在描写苏格兰生活的闲适生活，并非只是描写生活在苏格兰的乐趣而已。更深层次的目的是：他分别用了两段、浓墨重彩给游人介绍两个威廉堡最独特的吸引：渔趣和泉水酿的酒。这两个事、物是如此独特，足以让威廉堡与众不同。所以想及此，坚决选了B，证明推断正确。
62. 选B，第一段是提纲挈领介绍苏格兰高地威廉堡的两大不行错过的事，而列举维多利亚女王的事例，完全是为了说明威廉堡是个好地方，而且，女王甚至还没有体会垂钓之乐，都写下了“I never saw a lovelier spot ”，可见该地的确是值得去的好地儿。

【英语卷（解析）·2021届湖北省部分重点中学高三上学期起点考试（202208）】C7 B
I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development, I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say that a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate (提倡) a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King, who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so silly. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a strict timetable. This Research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels. I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
55. The underlined word “copper-bottomed” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.33
A. basic     B. reliable   C. surprising     D. interesting
56. What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?32
A. The baby will sleep well.      
B. The baby will have its brain harmed.
C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level. 
 D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.
57. The author supports feeding the baby_______.35
A. in the night            
B. every four hours
C. whenever it wants food        
D. according to its blood sugar level
58. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Dr King advocated feeding in the night.
B. Dr King was against a strict clock-watching schedule.
C. The author thinks Dr King’s idea is wrong.
D. The author thinks Dr King’s idea is right.
解析：

56. C 推理推断题。由第三段第三句I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous ( 荒谬可笑的)以及本文最终一句可知。
57. C 由本文的第一句(I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly)就提出观点，“反对定期喂婴儿”，最终一句(I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices)期望结束主见严格按时喂养的习惯。既然“不定期”，也就是按婴儿需要喂养，故选C。
58.选C，综合细节题，依据第三段其次三句话：The first of the experts to advocate (提倡) a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King, who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so silly. 作者说从没听说过如此愚蠢的想法，这就表明她是反对Dr King的观点。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China’s higher education reform? It’s too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, 2011.On graduating in 2021, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.
The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2022.The goal is to make China’s higher education internationally competitive.To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.
