AIt is most difficult for parents to decide whether to have a second child or not.It is often heard that a single child is likely to be a lonely child. There are no otherchildren in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not ableto get along well with children of his age. Some parents feel sad about making the decisionsto have only one child.But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many partsof the world. In the US, for example, more than14 percent of women between 18 and 34 planto have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average (平均) numberof children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996.For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time andenergy seem to be overwhelming. They don’t have enough time and energy to share with morechildren. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many coup les in Japan choosenot to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reachesaround $160,000.31．According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely?A.

Both A and B.BThis is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year’s Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne (《友谊地久天长》). It is the traditional music played during the New Yea r’s celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends.The words “auld lang syne” mean “old long since”. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version by Scottish poet Robert Bums was published in 1796. The words and music we know today first appeared in a songbook three years later.The song is played in the United States mainly on New Year’s Eve.The version you are hearing today is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet. As we end our program with Auld Lang Syne. I would like to wish all of our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas.34．Where can we find this passage?A. A newspaper.B. A magazine.C. A TV program.D. A radio program.35．When is Au ld Lang Syne mainly played in the USA according to the passage?A. On New Year’s Eve.B. On Christmas Eve.C. On weekends.D.

It’s about the history of the song.B. It’s about an old Scottish poet.C. It’s about the need to remember old friends.D. It’s about the wishes to our friends.CWhen you cough or sneeze, you’d bette r turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you shouldsay, “Excuse me.”This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go along way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, t hey’re halfway there.When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.( )38．When you cough or sneeze, you shouldn’t ________.A. touch everythingB. pass the germs to othersC. point out to the kidsD. A.B.C( )39．If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better ____.A. hold the doorB. pass throughC. close the doorD. stand to the side( )40．Why should we stand to the right of moving stairs?A. Because it’s dangerous to stand to the left.B. Because it’s a traffic rule which we must follow.C. Because we must wait for others to move first.D. Because we should make way for people in a hurry.( )41．From the passage we can know the writer is a ________.A. doctorB. travelerC. studentD. teacher( )42．A. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the rules of acts in publicB. the ways of communication in publicC. the good manners of thanking othersD. the knowledge of social life四．词汇运用（共16小题，每小题1分，满分16分）(A) 选用方框内的单词或词组填空，其中有一个单词或词组是多余的。
