第2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

第5题：
根据下列内容，回答201-205题。
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families．But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents，which is the opposite of the popularly—held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels．
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past．“We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families，”said one member of the research team．“They’re expected to be rebellious and selfish，but actually they have other things on their minds：they want a car and material goods，and they worry about whether school is serving them well．There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children，and children expect to take part in the family decision—making process．They don’t want to rock the boat．”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends．“My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me，”says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall．“I always tell them when l’m going out clubbing．As long as they know what l’m doing，they’re fine with it．”Susan Crome，who is now 21，agrees．“Looking back on the last lo years，there was a lot of what you could call negotiation．For example，as long as I’d done all my homework，I could go out on a Saturday night．But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that．”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected．It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts．A researcher comments，“0ur surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings．But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the l960s when everyone rebelled．The nor-mal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family busi-ness to taking it over．”
What is the popular image of teenagers today? __________A.They worry about school
B.They dislike living with their parents
C.They have to be locked in to avoid troubles
D.They quarrel a lot with other family members答案：D解析：根据第一段“which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers lockedin their room after endless family qUalTels．"可知(青少年)流行的形象是和父母无休止争吵完后把自己锁在屋子里，所以给人的印象是常常和其他家庭成员争吵。 -

Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in Florence,Italy,while her wealthy English parents
were traveling in Europe.As a child,she traveled to many places with her family and
learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17,she told her family that she was going to help sick people.
Her parents did not approve,but Nightingale was determined.
She traveled to hospitals all over Europe.She saw that doctors were working too hard.
She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care.Nightingale felt that
women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more,they needed special training in
how to take care of sick people.Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing.
Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called
Gentlewomen During Illness.These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854,England was fighting a war with Russia.War reporters wrote about the
terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded.People demanded that
something be done about it.A leader of the government asked Florence Nightingale to take

The Family
The structure of a family takes different forms around the world and even in the same society.
The family's form changes as it adapts to changing social and economic influences.Until recently, the most common form in North America was the nuclear family,consisting of a married couple with their minor children.The nuclear family is an independent unit.It must be prepared to fend for itself. Individual family members strongly depend on one another. There is little help from outside the family in emergencies.Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so.In North America,the elderly often do not live with the family;they live in retirement communities and nursing homes.
There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies,such as North
America,and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits,who live in harsh environments.
The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility. In harsh conditions,mobility allows the family to hunt for food.For North Americans,the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.
The nuclear family was not always the North American standard.In a more agrarian time,the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family.This might have included grandparents,mother and father,brothers and sisters,uncles,aunts,and cousins.In North America today,there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households.Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced, separated,or never-married individuals as are comprised of nuclear families. The structure of the family,not just in North America,but throughout the world,continues to change as it adapts to changing conditions.According to the passage,which is the definition of a nuclear family?
A:.A nuclear family is a married couple with their minor children.
B: A nuclear family is a single father with minor children.
C: A nuclear family concludes parents,grandparents,and children.
D: A nuclear family concludes parents,children,and aunts and uncles.答案：A解析：主旨题。题干意为“下面哪个选项可以作为这篇短文另一个合适的标题？”。短文开篇就提到了家庭结构，短文最后一句意为“不仅在北美洲，在全世界范围，家庭结构都会随着情况的不断变化而改变。”由此可见这篇短文的主题与家庭结构相关，由此可以进一步确认答案为A“家庭的结构是什么”。
细节题。题干意为“根据文章，哪个是核心家庭的定义？”。第一段的第三句话对于核心家庭进行了定义Until recently , the most common form in North American was the nu-clear family , consisting of a married couple with their minor children.该句意为“直到最近，北美洲最普遍的家庭形式为核心家庭，由一对夫妇和他们未成年的孩子构成”。由此可知A“核心家庭是由一对夫妇和他们未成年的孩子构成的家庭”是答案。
主旨题。题干意为“这篇文章最有可能出自哪里？”。该短文主题涉及家庭，因此最有可能出自人类学课本，所以A是正确的答案。
题干意为“第一段主要以何种方式陈述的？”根据第一段的陈述方式，并没有列出数据或者讲故事，而是通过描述共性而阐述出核心家庭的概念。因此C“指出相似性”是正确的答案。
题干意为“mobility是什么意思？”mobility是mobile“可移动的，机动的”的名词形式。首先在短文中找到mobility存在的语境：第二段中“The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility…the hunt for jobs and improved social status also re-quires mobility. ”mobility所在的上下文意为“核心家庭结构良好地适应于……的生活。在恶劣的条件下，……能让一个家庭吃饱饭，时北美洲人来说，找工作和提高社会地位同样需要……”四个选项中，A意为“钱”,B意为“随时准备迁居”，C意为“组织，机构”,D意为“技能，技巧”，显然B“随时准备迁居”填入mobility所在的语境中合适，因此答案为B。 -

问答题Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 5. Answer each of the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.BOOK REVIEW Mark Wertman’s True Confessions of a Red Mr. Mom Most Americans agree that the workplace and the home are very different from the way they were thirty years ago. The world of work is no longer a man’s world. Between 1970 and 1995, the percentage of women who worked outside the home went from 50 percent to 76 percent. In the year 2000, of the more than 55 million married couples in the United States, 10.5 million women were making more money than their husbands, and 2 million men were stay-at-home dads. Author, husband, and father Mark Wertman writes about being a stay-at-home dad in his book True Confessions of a Real Mr. Mom. His story will help other people who are learning how to live with the changing gender roles in our society. Mark and his wife, Georgine, were a two-income couple, but things changed when their first baby was born. Georgine wanted to continue her work as a lawyer, but someone had to stay at home to take care of the baby. Georgine had the higher paying job, so she became the provider. They had more children. Mark stayed at home to raise the children. In his book he tells many stories about his role in the family. At first, it was difficult to change roles. The Wertman kids often went to Mark first to talk about their problems. Georgine was jealous of the time the children spent with their father. Mark had some hard times, too. People often asked him, When are you going to get a real job? Even in the 21st century, society respects the role of provider more than the role of child raiser. Mark found out all about this. Mark and Georgine learned that it is very important to talk about their problems. In the beginning, Mark thought Georgine had the easy job, and Georgine thought that Mark had it easy. Later they talked it over and discovered that both jobs were difficult and rewarding. Georgine and Mark agree that talking things over and making decisions together helps their relationship. The Wertmans are happy with the results of their decision. Their children are ready for a world where men and women can choose their roles. Wertman’s book is enjoyable and educational, especially for couples who want to switch roles. As Mark Wertman says, We are society. We make the changes one by one. People have to decide on what’s best for them and their families. Questions: 1．Why is the workplace no longer a man’s world? 2．What is Mark Wertman’s book about? 3．Why is Georgine the provider in the family? 4．How do the Wertmans work out their problems? 5．What does Mark Wertman think about family roles?正确答案：
1.Many more women now work outside the home. 由第一段三四句可得出答案。
2.His life as a stay-at-home dad. 由第二段第一句可得出答案。
3.She had the higher paying job. 由第三段第三句话可得出答案。
4.正确hey talk and make decisions together. 由第五段最后一句可得出答案。
5.People should make changes based on reality. 由文章最后一句可得出答案。解析： 暂无解析 -

One-third of Parents Lack Facts about Child Development
One-third of parents of babies have a surprisingly low knowledge of child development,in-cluding basic concepts about what their children should know or how they should act,a new study finds.
For instance,the study found that many parents don't know that 1 -year-olds can't tell the difference between right and wrong,and often don't cooperate or share when playing with other children.
The results are surprising because the parents who took part in the survey had young chil-dren,said lead author Dr. Heather Paradis,a pediatric fellow at the University of Rochester Med- ical Center in New York.“They were watching or had just watched their kids go through this de-velopment,and they were probably the most knowledgeable of anybody.”
Paradis and her colleagues examined the results of a survey of parents—98 .6 percent of whom were mothers—of more than 10,000 9-month-old babies.As part of the survey,the parents were asked 11 questions designed to test their knowledge of a baby's development.
The researchers also examined what the parents said about their interactions with their chil- dren,and watched videotapes of how the parents taught new things to their kids.One-third of those surveyed incorrectly answered four or more of the questions .Even when the researchers ad-justed the statistics to account for such factors as education levels and income,those parents were still less likely to enjoy“healthy interactions”with their children.
A lack of proper understanding of a child's development can cause assorted problems,Para- dis said. For example,she said,a mother might expect an 18-month-old child to sit still for a doctor's appointment,even though children that age are normally curious and like to wander around.
“A mom could misinterpret a child's normal curiosity as intentionally being defiant,and could respond with harsh discipline,withdrawal of affection and repetition of that pattern over time,”Paradis said.“That could hinder the child's potential for full growth and development.” The findings were to be presented Sunday at the Pediatric Academic Societies' meeting in Honolulu.
One solution,Paradis said,is for pediatricians to take a more active role in educating new parents.“By improving knowledge of child development among all parents,not just those who are at highest risk,there's an opportunity to enhance parent-child interaction,”she said.“It can ul-timately lead to better parenting.”The parents surveyed were asked 11 questions on child development.
A: Right
B:wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：才良据第一段第一句“One-third of parents of babies have a surprisingly low knowledge of child development”可知，只有1/3的婴儿父母儿童发育知道很少。因此题干叙述错误，选B。
根据第二段“…that 1 -year-olds can't tell the difference between right and wrong. ”可知，题干叙述正确，选A。
根据第四段“…the parents were asked 11 questions designed to test their knowledge of a baby's development.”可知，参与调查的父母被问了11个关于儿童发育的问题。故选A。
文章并未提到题干所述信息。
文章并未提到题干所述信息。
根据第七段的“…a mother might expect an 18-month-old child to sit still for a doctor's appointment,even though children that age are normally curious and like to wander around.”可知，一岁半的儿童通常很好奇并喜欢到处跑，而不是坐着不动。故本题选B。
根据最后一段的“…there's an opportunity to enhance parent-child interaction.”可知，亲子互动有机会提升。故本题选B。 -
