　　W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?(Q23答案点，首句考点+视听一致)

　　M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?

　　W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.

　　M: Oh yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.

　　W: Yes. why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?(Q24答案点，视听一致)

　　M: I am sorry I’ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.

　　W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That’s strange, isn’t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.

　　M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all.

　　W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?

　　M: I don’t know. I think I’ll probably give them 2 pounds a week.

　　W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?

　　M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things?(Q25答案点，视听一致)

　　, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.

　　W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?

　　M: Yeah, they do.

　　Q23 What is the table of figures about?

　　Q24 What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money?

　　Q25 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money?

　　原文：

　　When couples get married，they usually plan to have children，Sometimes，however，a couple can not have a child of their own. In this case，they may decide to adopt a child. In fact，adoption is very common today. There are about 60,000 adoptions each year in the United States alone. Some people prefer to adopt infants. Others adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from their own families，they all adopt children for the same reason. They care about children(第26题) and want to give their adopted child a happy life.

　　Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and childcare experts generally think this is a good idea. However，many adopted children or adoptees have very little information about their biological parents. As a matter of fact，it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed. The information is secret，(第27题)so no one can see it.

　　Naturally，adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents. Many adoptees want to search for them，but others do not. The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make.

　　Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents. (第28题)Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents，they do know that their adoptive parents want them，love them and will care for them.

　　Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.

　　26.According to the speaker，why do some couples adopt children?

　　27.Why is it difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents?

　　28.Why do many adoptees find it hard to make the decision to search for their birth parents?

　　29.What can we infer from the passage?
