Diagnosed with a progressive hip disease that has forced her to teach first on crutches and eventually from a wheelchair， Hu has never allowed the illness to interfere with her students’ education.

Each day， Hu struggles to the front of a classroom in Jianshe Elementary School， in Jianshe village of Heilongjiang province， and through it all has never thought of giving up her beloved career.

During the early stages of her illness， doctors said it would cost up to 80，000 yuan ($11，800) to repair her hip bone. “It was impossible for my family to come up with that kind of money. I kept taking medication to deal with the disease，”Hu said. “But those medicines don't work anymore so I just take painkillers instead.”

Hu， 46， teaches about 20 classes a week， including math and Chinese. To avoid causing others any trouble， she never drinks liquids during the day so that she does not have to drag her body to the restroom.

She also takes stacks of assignments home to work on after a full day in school. Whenever she has a fever， she conducts make-up classes while receiving intravenous injections.

Pointing to an old leather chair， Leng said: “She had been giving classes by leaning on that chair for the past few years. It’s been worn out.”

Last year， the county government donated a wheelchair， and her old chair has been kept as a memorial of sorts.

“She shows great affection for her students and becomes a dynamic person every time she leads a class，”Leng said.

Hu has two daughters - one in college and the other， who at one point dropped out of school to help support her family， is now back in middle school. Liang Yue， the younger one， saw her mother working on crutches when she was about 3 years old. She later worked in a barber shop without letting her parents know in order to earn money for her mother’s medical treatment.

The family survives mostly on Hu’s wages， with a little additional income - 3，000 yuan a year - from crops planted by her husband.

Britain’s homeowners must be prepared for 10 years of stagnation(不景氣)， as last year’s recovery in the property market(房地產) gives way to a decade of drift， experts warn.

Following news that the number of new mortgages(抵押借款) approved fell in January， and house prices declined last month on both the Halifax and Nationwide measures， analysts believe the upturn(經濟復蘇) in the second half of last year has run out of steam.

“At best， it could be a decade of flat to slightly falling prices，”says Danny Gabay， a former Bank of England economist and director of consultancy Fathom. He predicts a 5% fall in prices this year， and a 10% decline in 2011.

City betting on property prices shows investors believe prices will struggle to rise in real terms for at least 10 years. By the end of 2012 prices will be just 3% higher， according to the Tradition Property Futures Index， which is based on the Halifax price index. After 10 years the price of the average home， now ?165，997， will be only 22% higher than today.

Simon Rubinsohn， chief economist at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors， said he expected prices to increase by just 1 to 2% in 2010， with worse to come. “2011 could be an altogether more challenging year: it wouldn’t surprise me if prices slipped back a bit more.”

He added that the housing bounce late last year was concentrated in the south. “It was more London and south-east than Yorkshire and Humberside or the north，”he said.“London and the south-east are benefiting from overseas buyers， and the City coming back to life.”

David Kern， chief economist of the British Chambers of Commerce， said after many years when double-digit price rises brought bumper windfalls(巨大的橫財)， and thousands of people relied on property to fund their retirement， homeowners will have to change their attitude.

“I look at it to some extent as a cultural shift. People have to get used to a different situation: it’s a healthier housing market，\" he said. \"If you had prices exploding again， we would be back to a crisis pretty soon.”

51. What does the underlined phrase “run out of steam” in paragraph 2?

A. 進一步發展B. 失去勢頭

C. 流出小溪D. 獲得勝利

52. If a British investor has a house valued ￡200，000 now， he believes 10 years later， his house will be valued at ____________.

A. ￡156，000B. ￡220，000

C. ￡244，000D. ￡202，000

A. the houses will become a bit cheaper.

第二節信息匹配(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)

閱讀下列應用文及相關信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請在答題卡上將對應題號的相應選項字母涂黑。

首先，請閱讀下面有關如何建立一個有效的、值得回憶的大學生活的五條建議:

56. Many college students really don't have a clear reason for being there other than the fact that they don’t know what else to do yet. They inherit goals from family and peers which aren't truly their own.

57. Once you know why you’re going to university， imagine your ideal outcome. Whether you’ve already started university or not， stop and simply write down some attributes of your ideal experience. Describe it in as much detail as you can. Real life will of course turn out differently than you visualize. The point of visualization is to give you more clarity for making decisions right now.

58. Decide what you want out of each specific class. Sometimes you’ll achieve your goals; sometimes you won’t. Even if you do your best， you may still fall short. You’ll have to pick your battles. Some are worth fighting; others are best ignored.

59. You don’t need to put an equal amount of effort into every class. Inject extra effort when it’s important to you， but feel free to back off a little from classes that are a low priority based on your specific goals.

60. Not every class is going to require your utmost concentration. Sometimes teachers babble. Sometimes they reiterate what you already know. If a class is really challenging， sit in the front and soak up every word. But if a class isn’t challenging you， then sit in the back， do homework for other classes， and pop your head up every once in a while to see if there’s anything worth jotting down.

下面是以上段落的中心句，請匹配中心句與相對應的段落。

A. Take at least one extra class each semester.

B. Learn to choose

C. Reclaim(充分利用)wasted time during your classes.

D. Imagine your ideal college experience.

E. Set clear goals for each class.

F. Answer the question， “Why am I going to college?”

Does Jay Belong in a textbook?

The fact that there are pop lyrics(明星作品)in textbooks shows that student tastes is now being considered.

Yin Yue: Pop singers represent a part of our culture. That popular songs are selected for our books is a sign of progress. What’s more， this move will bring pop culture in contact with traditional culture.

Pop songs in textbooks will mislead students.

Li Ning: It’s terrible. What we need are classics to improve our literary skills， not badly-written lyrics. As far as I am concerned ， they have no place in our formal studies.
