Whenever we think of them, they make us stronger inside. Everyone has the idea of “making all the members of the family happy”. We should all have this same idea as the great “China dream”.

It’s simple enough. People who volunteer to help others in their communities (社区) get “time dollars” or “time coins”—that can be exchanged (交换) in later life if they need help. It has taken effect in Britain, Japan, Sweden and other countries. And so, too, in China. The idea of “time banks” was introduced in China in the 1990s, and Shanghai was one of its first users. However, being short of clear rules, volunteers and good management, the project finally failed. Recently, the idea has become popular once more because of China’s rapidly aging population. The Chinese version mostly hopes to encourage younger senior people to provide services for the older ones. I’m happy to help them before I become too old to look after myself, said Yang Beifen, 68, a community volunteer in Shanghai. I’ve collected over 10 coins now, and it’s comforting to know that I can use them if I need to in the future. The idea of “time banks” is one way to deal with the problem of an aging population. By the end of last year, there were more than 5.2 million people aged 60 or older in Shanghai. Of these people, about 30 percent were aged below 64 and 16 percent were over 80. Many young people are too busy to care for the elderly, so the elderly have to help each other. The Bank of China even developed a WeChat mini program to help the elderly. However, the needs of the elderly are a great challenge for the city. There’s a long way to go. 41. What do we know about the idea of “time banks”? A. It’s popular only in Europe. B. It was created by a Chinese teacher. C It’s kind of difficult to understand. D. It’s a form of saving for the future. 42. Which is NOT the reason for “time banks” failure in China in the 1990s? A. The management was poor. B. There were not clear rules. C. People didn’t have much money at that time. D. There were not enough people who would like to volunteer. 43. What is Yang Beifen’s attitude towards the idea of “time banks”? A. She is pleased with it. B. She is worried about it. C. She pays no attention to it. D. She feels disappointed about it. 44. According to the last two paragraphs, ________. A. young people should help each other B. more work should be done to help the elderly C. the start of the WeChat mini program wasn’t easy D. an aging population is a common problem around the world 45. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce some volunteers. B. To introduce the history of “time banks”. C. To give facts about “time banks” in China. D. To introduce “time banks” to more countries. 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. A 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了什么是“时间银行”以及它在中国的现状。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“that can be exchanged (交换) in later life if they need help”可知，如果他们在以后的生活中需要帮助，这些钱可以用来交换；因此这是为未来储蓄的一种形式；故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, being short of clear rules, volunteers and good management, the project finally failed.”可知，由于缺乏明确的规则、志愿者和良好的管理，项目最终以失败告终，没有提到“那时人们没有很多钱”；故选C。 【43题详解】 观点态度题。根据“I’ve collected over 10 coins now, and it’s comforting to know that I can use them if I need to in the future.”可知，Yang Beifen对“时间银行”很满意；故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“However, the needs of the elderly are a great challenge for the city.

The peach blossom is one of those seasonal flowers. It usually blooms (开花) in March and April. Pinggu district in Beijing, Nanhui County in Shanghai and Longquan Mountain in Chengdu are all good places to enjoy the beautiful peach blossoms. But if they are not special enough for you, you can go to Nyingchi (林芝) in Xizang. There you can see a sea of pink at the foot of snow-covered mountains under a blue sky. The peach blossom, with its beauty, has won the hearts of visitors and many Chinese poets and writers. From China’s first book of poetry,the Classic of Poetry(《诗经》), to the many poems of the Tang Dynasty, the peach blossom usually has to do with beautiful young ladies. As one famous poem goes: This very day last year, oh, at this very place, A pretty face outshone the flowers of peach trees. I do not know today where shines the pretty face, Only the pretty flowers still smile in the vernal breeze. The peach blossom makes people think of a shy woman blushing (脸红). Because of this, the peach blossom is related to romance (浪漫) in China. And if your eyes are the shape of peach petals (花瓣), you have a pair of “taohuayan”. And you probably have peach blossom luck. 26. We can enjoy peach blossoms in Longquan Mountain in Chengdu in March and April. 27. The peach blossom has something to do with handsome young men. 28. The writer quotes (引用) the poem in the passage in order to show the popularity of peach blossoms. 29.

The “宀” looks like the roof of the house, and the “豕” is a pictographic character for “pig”. The picture shows the development of “家”. The word “家” with a pig under the roof of a house may show the importance of domestic animals (家畜) to traditional Chinese families. There is a strong feeling between parents, children and other family members. The father is usually very strict with their children. Parents work very hard to set a good example for their children, while children study hard. Brothers and sisters in the family are very friendly and helpful to each other. All the family members try their best to live a happy life. Our ancestors (祖先) will be part of our life forever. _____ We remember our ancestors just to make our feelings more active. Whenever we think of them they make us stronger inside. Everyone has the idea of “making all the members of the family happy”. We should all have this same idea as the great “China dream”.

Chinese families C The idea of “time banks” was created by Yale University Professor Edgar Cahn in 1980 as a way to encourage volunteerism (志愿服务). It’s simple enough. People who volunteer to help others in their communities (社区) get “time dollars” or “time coins”—that can be exchanged (交换) in later life if they need help. It has taken effect in Britain, Japan, Sweden and other countries. And so, too, in China. The idea of “time banks” was introduced in China in the 1990s, and Shanghai was one of its first users. However, being short of clear rules, volunteers and good management, the project finally failed. Recently, the idea has become popular once more because of China’s rapidly aging population. The Chinese version mostly hopes to encourage younger senior people to provide services for the older ones. I’m happy to help them before I become too old to look after myself, said Yang Beifen, 68, a community volunteer in Shanghai. I’ve collected over 10 coins now, and it’s comforting to know that I can use them if I need to in the future. The idea of “time banks” is one way to deal with the problem of an aging population. By the end of last year, there were more than 5.2 million people aged 60 or older in Shanghai. Of these people, about 30 percent were aged below 64 and 16 percent were over 80. Many young people are too busy to care for the elderly, so the elderly have to help each other. The Bank of China even developed a WeChat mini program to help the elderly. However, the needs of the elderly are a great challenge for the city. There’s a long way to go. 41. What do we know about the idea of “time banks”? A. It’s popular only in Europe. B. It was created by a Chinese teacher. C. It’s kind of difficult to understand. D. It’s a form of saving for the future. 42. Which is NOT the reason for “time banks” failure in China in the 1990s? A. The management was poor. B. There were not clear rules. C. People didn’t have much money at that time. D. There were not enough people who would like to volunteer. 43. What is Yang Beifen’s attitude towards the idea of “time banks”? A. She is pleased with it. B. She is worried about it. C. She pays no attention to it. D. She feels disappointed about it. 44. According to the last two paragraphs, ________. A. young people should help each other B. more work should be done to help the elderly C. the start of the WeChat mini program wasn’t easy D. an aging population is a common problem around the world 45.
