9、eform. The people who are calling for (21) usually want the government to pay for campaigns and/or limit the mount of money that candidates and their supporters can spend.One reason that reform is (22) for is that it costs so much to run for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of
10、 time and effort (23) money. The incumbents (those already in office) have (24) time to do their jobs since they must attend so many fund raising events.Another (25) is the fear that candidates will be owned or controlled by the “special interest groups“ that contribute to their campaigns.

13、of money.Opponents of laws that regulate or limit spending say that you dont really have freedom of speech or freedom of the press if you cant get your message out.

This
18、 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 m live with them, that is three generations. This kind of family with grandparents, p
19、arents, and grandchildren is called an extended family. This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century, but its 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 l
20、arger. 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
21、 visits.Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family. In the fatherless family its just the mother and her children. As I said, this can be the result of the husbands death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce. There are also a growing nu
22、mber 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 daughters children while the daughter goes e
23、lsewhere 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 f
24、rom two other families.（分数：12.00）(1).Who usually looks after the children in a both motherless and fatherless family in America?A. The childrens aunt.B. The childrens nursery or school.C. The childrens grandmother.D. The childrens neighbour.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).How is a blended family formed?A. A bl

A blended family is formed by two fatherless families.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What is true to the fact in Americ
26、a?A. There are more and more members in a family.B. There are less and less members in a family.C. There is an increasing number of grandparents who refuse to look after their grandchildren.D. There is an increasing number of grandparents who live separately from their children.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).

28、ubverted to cause a tumor.Dr. Jorge Yunis of the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis has found that 70 percent of oncogenes, or cancer-causing genes, are located near inherited weak points on chromosomes(染色体). Varying from individual to individual, vulnerable to chemical carcinogen
29、s(致癌剂) ,X rays and other cancer-inducing agents.“If a chromosome snaps apart in the immediate vicinity of an oncogene,“ says Yunis, “normal genetic control mechanisms could break down and the stage would be set for the formation of cancer.“ Younis hag shown that such a sequence occurs at the beginni
30、ng of numerous leukemias (白血病), lymphomas (淋巴瘤) and some tumors of the lung, colon (结肠) and breast.Yunis and Other investigators have found that petroleum-based products-notably pesticides and insecticides-damage specific sites on at least two of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes that carry genetic

It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the water-line. The Khadra Hills r
35、ise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills, overlooking Shundagarh. From his fields he could see the fishing-boats that travelled up and down the coast
36、. He could see the children playing on the sand; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in
37、and day out, the miserable hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking potsand his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enoughnot well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was
38、 little or no rain, then he came close to the line between a life which was too hard, and death itself.Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He h
39、ad been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife and children. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this.On t
40、he day on which Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to the sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometres out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have
41、shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and s
42、moke was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur; and there they buried him.On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who die
43、d, giving.（分数：12.00）(1).Shundagarh is a village_.A. one hundred and fifty metres above the waterlineB. of mud and grass houses in the Khadra HillsC. of simple houses, built on the beach facing towards the eastD. built around small fields overlooking the coast（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).From his fields Jalp
