This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children. Most couples wanted to have four children, two
17、 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 tw
18、entieth 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 larger. What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families, this
19、 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 famil
20、y 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 number of motherless families-where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons. A motherless family may also
21、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 elsewhere to work.One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common. A single parent with one or more childre
22、n 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.（分数：12.00）(1).Who usually looks after the children in a both motherless and fatherless family in Amer
23、ica?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 blended family is formed by two single-parent families.B. A blended family is formed by a nuclear family and a grandparent.C.
24、A blended family is formed by a nuclear family and grandparents.D. 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 America?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 nu
25、mber 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).Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Family. B. American Families.C. Family Types. D. Four Family Typ
26、es in America.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Communication between villages and the nearest town was poor. Roads were bad; there was some attempt to keep them in order, but as each parish was responsible for its own section of road, the state of repair depends on the zeal of the parish officers. There was, howeve
27、r, little wheeled traffic except for farm coaches used by men of wealth. Most traffic was by means of pack horses. Travelers rode on horseback or walked. Since communication was so difficult, the local markets, held weekly at the nearest town, or the fairs, held annually at the greater cities, becam
28、e important places for the exchange of goods of all kinds.（分数：12.00）(1).In this passage the authors conclusion that local markets and fairs were important is based on his statement that _.A. communication between villages and towns was poorB. roads were badC. there was little wheeled trafficD. excha
29、nges of goods took place at the markets（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Most traffic was not on wheels because _.A. most people could not afford this means of travelB. springless coaches were uncomfortableC. pack horses were better than coachesD. roads were so bad（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Poor roads were probably so
30、 because of _.A. the costliness of reformsB. politics on a parish levelC. the competition between parishesD. the indolence of local authorities（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The authors statement about the importance of markets, and fairs is _.A. a conclusion he draws on the basis of his main thoughtB. an int
31、eresting fact he includes although it does not bear strictly on the subject matter of the passageC. apparently contradicted by the main thoughtD. a historical development which took place after the time in which the main events of the passage occurred（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Above all know your audience and
32、 match what you say to their needs. Creating your presentation with your audience in mind will assure that your audience will follow you. If your presentation doesnt appeal to your audience- no matter how well you have developed your presentation- your presentation will fall on deaf ears. This leads
33、 us to the next rule: Know your material thoroughly. Your material needs to be second nature to you. Practice and rehearse your presentation with friends, in front of a mirror, and with colleagues. If you are speaking in a second language, make sure that you record yourself and listen to a number of
34、 times before going to practice with a native speaker (if possible).Remember that you are an actor when presenting. Make sure that not only your physical appearance is appropriate to the occasion, but also the tone you use is well chosen. If your topic is serious, be solemn. However, its always a go
35、od idea to begin your presentation with an ice-breaker. Dont worry about making friends, rather lead the audience through your materials in a calm and relaxed manner. Speak slowly and clearly, and remember to address everyone in the audience - even the person the farthest away from you.To achieve th
36、e above goals follow these tips when giving your presentation:1. Speak with conviction. Believe what you are saying and you will persuade your audience.2. Do not read from notes. Referring to notes is fine, but do so only briefly.3. Maintain eye contact with your audience. Making direct eye contact
37、with individuals will help them feel as if they are participating in your presentation.4. Bring handouts. Dont just use a PowerPoint presentation. Provide audience members with handouts of the most important materials so they can keep your most important takeaways in mind.5. Know when to stop. This
38、cannot be underestimated. You need to make your case, but continuing for too long will only ensure that the audience forgets what you have said.（分数：12.00）(1).What is the most important thing to remember when making a presentation?A. Match your presentation to the needs of your audience.B. Make sure
39、to wear your best clothes.C. Bring detailed handouts.D. Know your material thoroughly.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What should you do before your practice in a second language?A. Take photos of you presenting.B. Record yourself presenting.C. Read through your presentation.D. Read aloud to your foreign frien
40、ds.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Why should you know when to stop?A. Because you need rest.B. Because audience may fall asleep.C. Because you may be tired for talking too long.D. Because it can make audience remember what you said.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Handouts are important because _.A. they have your contac
41、t information written on themB. they contain the key takeaways of your presentationC. they provide pictures for the audience to look atD. they can be used for audience to take notes（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are n
42、ow acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs are also different from country to country. Does a man walk on the
43、left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people sh
44、ake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 oclock, the dinner guest either arri
45、ves close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do, anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party. When the food was served,
46、 one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.（分数：12.00）(1).“Bad manners“ in the last sentence
47、means_.A. ugly B. dishonest C. impolite D. shameful（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Social Customs and Behaviour. B. Social Life.C. American and British Customs. D. Promptness Is Important.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the text, the b
48、est host_.A. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tries to avoid being foolish（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer of this article may agree with which of the following?A. The guest who ate his peas with a knife.
49、B. The other guests who were amused or shocked.C. The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.D. None of the above.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Laura was married for 6 months. Her husband was using drugs. She didnt want her son or her unborn baby to live that way, but she was afraid to ask her husband to leave. She left him a note instead. After reading the note, Lauras husband waited for her to come home and then beat her and her son.Laura
