Additionally, the duties parents have toward their children can also differ.【3】.

It's normal for parents to pay for their children's college, help them find a job, or buy them an apartment. Chinese adults also follow their parents' opinions when making major life decisions, more often than not.

28、A ban on smoking in public places has come into effect in China — home to a third of the world’s smokers. The move is aimed at controlling the number of deaths from smoking-related diseases, running at a million a year. But the rules have been criticized, because they do not include punishments for those who choose to ignore them. Many business owners hate rules that force them to ban smoking because many customers do not like the rules and complain. The rules do not allow smoking in places like restaurants, hotels, railway stations or theaters, but not at the office. Employers have a duty to warn staff off the dangers of smoking but do not have to forbid them from lighting up at their desks.

Shanghai introduced similar rules a year ago, but people do not seem to take much notice of them. Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar. The problem is that the rules do not include punishments for businesses or individuals who ignore them.

It appears that many Chinese people are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Research suggests that only one in four knows the harm cigarettes of second-hand smoke can cause. Officials say they have to try to persuade people not to smoke to reduce the numbers dying from smoking-related diseases. But it is hard to deal with the problem and there is still a long way to go.

【1】The number of smokers in China makes up about ______ of the world’s smokers.

A. 66%   B. 44%   C. 33%   D. 55%

【2】Why have the rules been criticized by some people?

A. Because those people don’t want to be punished.

B. Because they do not include punishments for those who ignore the rules.

C. Because the rules are ignored by all the people who smoke.

D. Because nobody takes notice of the rules.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. How to punish those who ignore the ban.

B. What the dangers of smoking are.

C. Why it’s hard to ban smoking.

D. How the non-smokers suffer from second-hand smoke.

29、College students without teaching qualifications are prohibited from carrying out subject-based tutoring for secondary school students in Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang Province, the Hangzhou education authority said, in response to parents' questions over whether college students can proceed with tutoring.

For those college students obtaining teaching qualifications, they have to conduct tutoring in accordance with the country's latest policies to ease the burden of excessive homework and off-campus tutoring for students already undergoing compulsory education, released in July this year.

31、

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to 【1】 older people on the front end of a technological shift.

It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear 【2】 divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so 【3】 across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one vet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is 【4】 engaged.

Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars 【5】 real value to these age groups, especially to those with 【6】 mobility or difficulty driving on their own.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related 【7】 than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more 【8】 based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education：59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives 【9】 too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become 【10】. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

During summer vacation when I was twelve, a sawmill (锯木厂) was operating in the woods near our farm. Early each morning, I’d watch the men cut down big trees, saw them into logs, and deliver the logs to the mill.

The logs were dragged by a team of horses named Jack and Billy. They were gentle, and I petted them every chance I got.

One day, Mr. David, the mill owner, said he’d pay me 15 cents a day to bring fresh water to his men. In 1942, that was a lot of money! I said yes.

One afternoon when Jack and Billy were pulling a log up to the mill, a stick injured Jack’s right front hoof (蹄). After Mr. David removed the stick, the horse driver said that the foot should be doctored. But Mr. David said he didn’t have time for that. He said if the horse couldn’t earn his keep, he’d get one that could.

I felt sick inside. Jack and Billy were my best friends! I couldn’t stop thinking about Jack’s foot and what Mr. David had said.

For the rest of the day the team pulled logs from the woods. By nightfall, Jack was limping badly. Mr. David told his crew that the mill would be closed for three days because he’d be away for the Fourth of July. He offered to pay me a dollar to feed and water the horses while he was gone. I quickly agreed.

The next morning, I rode my bike to Mr. David’s barn. I wanted to look at Jack’s hoof. I reached down and grabbed the hair on the back of his leg, as I’d seen Mr. David do, and Jack lifted up his foot so I could see.

The part inside of the big iron shoe looked red and mushy (烂糊的).

I didn’t know anything about medicine, and Mr. David said he wouldn’t pay for a doctor. But if he didn’t earn his keep, Mr. David would get rid of him. But what could I do?

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

At my house, I saw our neighbor, Mr. Sherman who raised horses and knew how to care for them.

The morning when Mr. David returned, I jumped on my bike to the mill.
