The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation.However,middle class is not a real designation（称号）,nor does it carry privileges. It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War Ⅱ.The economy was growing,more and more people owned their own homes,workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them,and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one.Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility.They may have started out poor,but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.
The middle class collectively holds several values and principles.One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate.In addition,middle class morality embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family,obligations to others,and believing in something outside oneself.
But in the l990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success.A US News &World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet. Both spouses now worked,as did some of the children; long commutes became routine;the need for child care put strains on（给······带来压力）the family;and public schools were not as good as they once were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.A common middle class value is that_________.
A:people should always have fun
B:children should be seen and not heard
C:debt is nothing to worry about
D:the family is very important答案：D解析：本题问的是：本文的信息是关于什么的？本文通篇讲述美国的中产阶级，这一阶段是一个社会和经济群体，因此选择B。
本题问的是：一个普遍的中产阶级价值观是什么？本篇第二段最后一句话提到：中产阶级的道德观包括个人的责任感、家庭的重要性、对他人的责任感以及相信自身以外事物的存在。A、B、C三个选项不包括在内，因此正确答案是D。
本题问的是：在第二次世界大战之后的几年，中产阶级可以被定义为什么？本篇第一段提到了当时美国经济不断增长并且人们生活水平有了提高，因此选择C选项“成功并且乐观”。
本题问的是：第一段中的In other words这个短语与下列说法一致的是哪个？in other words意为“换句话来说”，因此正确答案是C。

The Changing Middle Class
The United States perceives itself to be a middle一class nation.However,middle class is not a real desig-
nation,nor does it carry privileges（特权）.It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it ever
could be right after World War II.The economy was growing;more and more people owned their own homes;
workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them;and nearly everyone who wanted a higher
education could have one.Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They might have started out
poor,but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In
other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.
The middle class colleetively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn
enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate.In addition,middle-class morality（道
德观）embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family,obligations to others,and
believing in something outside oneself.
But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U.S.News&
World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could
no longer make ends meet. Both spouses now worked,as did some of the children;long commutes became
routine;the need for child care put strains on the family;and public schools were not as good as they once
were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using
credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.One important middle-class value is that_________________.

单选题Passage1Children who spend more than two hours a day at a computer or watching television are more likely than others to have mental problems，scientists say.Researchers found that 11-year-olds who spent several hours in front of a screen each day did worse on mental health tests，no matter how much physical exercise they got. The University of Bristol study，published in Pediatrics，involved more than 1，000 children aged about 10.They also had the kids fill out questionnaires designed to gauge the kids' emotional well-being and behavior.The questionnaires contained 20 questions covering five sections-emotional difficulties，conduct problems，hyperactivity or inattention，friendships and peer groups and problems relating to friends and peer groups.The study found no direct evidence that sitting in front of a screen actually causes mental health problems. Instead，it suggests that children with difficulties，such as extreme shyness，are more likely to choose TV or computer games than sociable activities. In the study，children were asked whether they agreed，disagreed or somewhat agree with a list of statements，including，I generally play alone or keep to myself and，I am often unhappy or tearful.They were also asked how much exercise they took and how long they spent at a TV or computer screen.According to the study，children who spent more than two hours a day at a screen had a 60% higher risk of mental problems than children who spent fewer viewing hours. The risk was only slightly higher in children who did little or no exercise.Physical activity is good for health in many ways，but it can't make up for long hours of screen viewing. Parents should consider limiting their children's screen viewing to no more than 2 hours a day，”said the study organizer，Angie Page.Previous studies have raised concerns that watching too much television can affect children's behavior in later life. A Canadian study found that those who watched most TV as young children performed worse at school, ate more junk food and had more trouble concentrating.How did the researchers carry out the study?ABy reviewing children's records online.
BBy interviewing children's parents.
CBy watching children in their home.
DBy asking children questions.

第15题：
Directions: Nowadays, with thedevelopment of technology, e-books have become more and more frequent. Somepeople believe that e-books will replace traditional books. What is your opinion?Please write a composition entitled "Will E-books Replace TraditionalBooks?" in English within 180 words, but no less than 150 words.答案：解析：Will E-books Replace Traditional Books? There is no denyingthe fact that e-books have gained increasing popularity in the past years alongwith the development of information technology. Actually, modem readers seem tospend more time on e-books than on traditional ones.
As a consequence, ithas emerged as a hotly debated topic whether e-books will take the place oftraditional books in the future. Some hold the positive view. They claim thatit is natural for books to become electronic as mankind steps into a digitalage. Compared with traditional books, e-books have some obvious advantages. Forone thing, it is convenient to read online as modem people have easy access tothe Interact. For another, reading e-books saves money.
Personally, Ibelieve that e-books cannot replace all traditional books. Firstly, you canmark a traditional book and write your comments in the margin but you can hardlydo that on e-books. Secondly, for many people, only the smell of print and thefeel of paper can provide, the true sense of reading and learning. Therefore,in my opinion, traditional books will still exist in the future. -

单选题According to Karen Norberg, ______.Aamong children born out of wedlock there were more girls than boys.
Bthe chance of a woman giving birth to a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived.
Cfor parents who were not cohabiting, boys were born 51.5% of the time.
Dwomen who have not been living with a man are more likely to have daughters.
正确答案： C解析：
录音中Karen Norberg在研究中发现“the chance of a woman giving birth to a boy rather than a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived”，可见在他看来一个女人在怀孩子之前与一个男人一起生活那么她生男孩的几率就相对较大，因此选项D的推断正确。
【录音原文】
Can household arrangements affect the human sex ratio? According to Karen Norberg, of the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, they can. In a review of data from almost 60, 000 American families, Dr Norberg found that the chance of a woman giving birth to a boy rather than a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived. To be specific, for parents who were living together, boys were born 51.5% of the time, while when the parents were not cohabiting only 49.9% of births were male. This difference may seem small, but statistically it is highly significant, which suggests it is the result of evolution. -

DParents would change their reading habits due to their concern for their children.
正确答案： B解析：
本题需要综合文章第五，第六段，第七段的信息来回答。第五段提出，尽管费时费力，出版商们将增加纸质书籍的数量。而文中没有提到这是因为“children’s e-books”需求增加，所以A选项错误。第五段提到许多出版商认为家长“prefer the print version”，第六段中麦克米伦儿童出版社董事“Jon Yaged”指出“There’s definitely a predisposition to print”。由此可以推断，出版商们会增加“picture books”的产量。紧接着在第七段给出一个纽约企业家的例子，他希望自己的孩子可以“grow up with”纸质书籍。因此可以看出B选项说出版商将会增印纸质书籍由于家长希望孩子“be surrounded by print books”是正确选项。C和D选项不是“publisher’s opinion.”，因此可以排除。 -

【参考译文】
美国把自己看作是一个中产阶级国家。然而,中产阶级并不是真正的指定,也不会带来特权。它更多的可能是一种感觉,二战以后可能就是这样的感觉。经济增长,越来越多的人拥有自己的居所,工人与雇佣公司有可靠的合同,几乎所有想得到高等教育的人都可以如愿以偿。成功人士享受向上的社会流动性。他们可能开始是穷人,但是可以变得富有。成功人士也发现,他们有更大的地域流动性,即是说,他们发现自己移居并生活在各种各样的地方。
中产阶层持有一些价值观和原则。一个重要的价值观就是,要赚足够的钱去感受自己决定自己经济命运的感觉。除此之外,中产阶层的道德观看重个人责任、家庭重要性,对他人的义务及信任他人。
但在上世纪90年代,中产阶层的人发现成功是有代价的。美国1994年新世界调查报告指出75%的中产阶层美国人认为家庭收支不能平衡。父母双方都在工作,对孩子都一样。长期的通勤是常规,孩子的看护给家庭添加负担。公立学校没有以前好。中产阶层的生活方式不再建立在收入上,而是靠信用来维持。对什么是中产阶级的理解正在发生变化。解析： 暂无解析
