23、he division of labour. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families, while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children. These roles were firmly fixed for most people, and there was not much opportunity for men or women to exchange their roles. But
24、 by the middle of this century, mens and womens roles were becoming less firmly fixed.In the 1950s, economic and social success was the goal of the typical American. But in the 1960s developed a new force called the counterculture. The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class
25、American goals. The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices. Taking more interest in child care, men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives. In fact, some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and child care responsibilities were sh
26、ared equally by both sexes. In addition, many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier. Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.In terms of numbers, the counterculture was not a very large group of people. But its influence spread to many p
27、arts of American society. Working men of all classes began to change the economic and social patterns. Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on overtime work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families. Some doctors, lawyers, and teachers turned away from high
28、paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighbourhoods.In the 1970s, the feminist movement, or womens liberation, produced additional economic and social changes. Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers. Most of them still took
29、 traditional womens jobs such as public school teaching, nursing, and secretarial work. But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations: police work, banking, dentistry, and construction work. Women were asking for equal work, and equal opportunities for promotion. Today the experts gen
30、erally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women. Naturally, there are difficulties in adjusting to these changes.(分数:10.00)(1).Which of the following best expresses the main idea of Paragraph 1?(分数:2.00)A.Women usually worked outside the home for wages.B.Mens and w
31、omens roles were easily exchanged in the past.C.Mens roles at home was more firmly fixed than womens.D.Mens and womens roles were usually quite separated in the past.(2).Which sentence best expresses the main idea of Paragraph 2?(分数:2.00)A.The first sentence.B.The second and the third sentences.C.Th
32、e fourth sentence.D.The last sentence.(3).In the passage the author suggests that the counterculture _.(分数:2.00)A.destroyed the United StatesB.changed some American valuesC.was not important in the United StatesD.brought people more leisure time with their families(4).It could be inferred from the p
33、assage that _.(分数:2.00)A.men and women will never share the same goalsB.some men will be willing to change their traditional male rolesC.most men will be happy to share some of the household responsibilities with their wivesD.more American households are headed by women than ever before(5).The best
34、title for the passage may be _.(分数:2.00)A.“Results of Feminist Movement“B.“New Influences in American Life“C.“Counterculture and Its Consequence“D.“Traditional Division of Male and Female Roles“BText 2/BGreenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environ
35、ment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the imp
36、ortance of greenspaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way, this does not means, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, w
37、ithin the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate a
38、ttention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in slee
39、ping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the Street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activit
40、ies can also have a recreative aspect.The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for en
41、joying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.(分数:10.00)(1).According to the author, the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment _.(分数:2.00)A.is still unknownB.is usually neglectedC.is being close
42、ly studiedD.has been fully recognized(2).The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _.(分数:2.00)A.the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighbourhoodB.the location of recreation facilities far from homeC.relatively little attention for recreative poss
43、ibilitiesD.the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighbourhood(3).The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspace should be provided _.(分数:2.00)A.in special areasB.in the suburbsC.in the neighbourhood of the houseD.in gardens and parks(4).According to the author, gre
44、enspace facilities should be designed in such a way that _.(分数:2.00)A.more obligatory activities might take on a recreative aspectB.more and more people might have access to themC.an increasing number of recreative activities might be developedD.recreative activities might be brought into our homes(
45、5).The main idea of this passage is that _.(分数:2.00)A.better use of greenspace facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our lifeB.attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilitiesC.the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many
46、 years agoD.priority must be given to the development of obligatory activitiesBText 3/BOne of the earliest changes experienced by newly modernizing countries is the reduction of infectious disease through the diffusion of public health technology. Public health technology lowers the death rate, espe
47、cially among infants and children, causing rapid population growth. Since most of the people of less developed nations live in rural areas that cannot absorb the increased population, unemployment presses people off the land. They tend to migrate into urban areas where newly developing industry and
48、commerce and modern consumer goods and services offer hope for employment and a better life. Unfortunately, the opportunities are more apparent than real; and often the transition is more painful than pleasant.In the courses of the transition from agrarian life to modern urban living, the family und
49、ergoes major changes in function, structure, relations, and style. Functionally the family changes from a production unit to a consumption unit. No longer is there need for a large multi-worker household to operate the familys farm interests, and the extended family household changes to the one containing
