第3题：
Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.
Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.
Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.
Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.
Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it

A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.
B. Television has much influence on children.
C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.
D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.
2). In what ways do children suffer from television?
A. They become the victims of social violence.
B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.
C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.
D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.
3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______
A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertising
B. commercials teach children alphabet and numbers
C. commercials help to sell products
D. they don’t like commercials
4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____
A. it does have the same commercials as others
B. it offers programs for both children and their parents
C. many parents like the programs it offers for their children
D. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school
5). Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

第5题：
In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family is becoming smaller. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living.
Generally children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents are usually responsible for all the expenses. And families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break-up of the family appears when the parents' divorce.
A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Children grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved between their parents. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship.
The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs show that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining(降低). Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.
21. In the past, American families tended to be().
A. quite small
B. medium sized
C. quite large
22. To parents who take the responsibility for children's expenses, the cost of living increases because().
A. children attend school for more years
B. children are better dressed and spend more money on entertainment
C. all of the above
23. Children whose parents divorced always feel unsettled because().

American Families
1 Despite social and economic differences among Americans,many American families have certain characteristics in common.Both the husband and wife were born in the United States,and their forefathers came from Europe.They have completed high school,and they belong to the middle class.They have a car, a television set,a washing machine,a refrigerator,a telephone,etc.They own their own home and spend about 55%of their income for housing and food.Clothing accounts for almost 10%of their income,medical care 6%,transportation 8%and taxes 15%.The rest of their income is used for such items as insurance, savings,gifts,and recreation.
2 Most families consist of a mother,a father,and,at most,two children living at home.There may be relatives-grandparents,aunts,uncles,cousins living in the same community,but American families usually maintain separate households.This family structure is known as the"nuclear family".It is unusual. for members of the family other than the husband,wife,and children to live together.
3 Marriage in the United States is considered a matte,r of individual responsibility and decision.Young people frequently fall in love and many even if their parents disagree.American marriages are usually based on romantic love,rather than on social class,education,or religion.
4 After their marriage the young couple is free to decide where to live and when to start a family.Most young couples set up their own household immediately.In the early 1970s only 15%of all married couples were not living on their own-independently and by themselves.Most married people practise some kind of birth control.They plan the number of children they are going to have and when their children will be born. The practice of limiting the size of families has general approval.The birth rate has been declining steadily in recent years.There are among many American families______.
A:live with their parents
B:their own decisions
C:most American families are usually small
D:the family structure
E:some similar features
F:has been dropping答案：E解析：第一段的主旨句是第一句：" Despite social and economic differences among Americans,many American families have certain characteristics in common." D项中的“features”是主旨句中" characteristics”的同义转换。
第二段主要讲的是美国家庭是由哪些成员组成的，即常见的美国家庭的结构。
第三段第一句是主旨句，根据其中的“Marriage”把答案圈定在A.玖F三项，又由第三段最后一句可知，美国婚姻基于真爱而非基于社会阶级、教育和宗教，排除F项。本段主要讲的是婚姻观念而非婚姻生活，因此选择E项。
第四段的主旨句是第一句，主要讲的是美国年轻夫妻的婚后生活。A项中的“post-marriage"甲是第四段第一句中“After their marriage”的同义转换。
根据第一段第一句可知，美国很多家庭都有一定的相似之处。E项中的“some similarfeatures”是第一段第一句中“certain characteristics in common”的同义转换。
根据第三段第一句“Marriage in the United States is considered a matter of individualresponsibility and decision.”可知，美国年轻人自己负责和决定他们的婚姻。B项中的“theirown decisions”是第三段第一句中“individual responsibility and decision”的同义转换。
根据第四段第二句“Most young couples set up their own household immediatily.”可知，许多年轻人在婚后立即建立自己的家庭，不再与他们的父母住在一起。
根据第四段最后一句“The birth rate has been declining steadily in recent years.”可知，出生率近年来持续下降。F项中的“dropping”是对第四段最后一句中“declining”的同义改写。 -
第11题：
We first think of the traditional or nuclear family．This is a two-generation family,the father and the mother and their own children．Most couples wanted to have four children,two boys,two girls.
Some nuclear families,however,may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them,that is three generations．This kind of family with grandparents,parents,and grandchildren is called an extended family．This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century,but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter．This is more possible now that American homes have become larger．What is interesting,however,is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families,this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family,with just two generations again living together,a grandparent and parents,with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits．
Now,the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family．In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children．As I said,this can be the result of the husband's death,of an unmarried mother,of a separation or divorce．There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children,for any of the same reasons．A motherless family may also be fatherless,but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common．A single parent with one or more children will marry again．Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent．Together they will start what is called a blended family,which blends together or combines the children from two other families.
Who usually looks after the children in a both motherless and fatherless family in America?A.The children's aun
B.The children's nursery or schoo
C.The children's grandmothe
D.The children's neighbou答案：C解析：第二自然段后半部分写到：“A motherless family may also be fatherless，but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter’s children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work．”由此可见，本题选C。 -
