A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her mid-dle twenties, and would be li
2、kely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. (76) By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get pa
3、id work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.This important change in womens life has only recently begun to have it
4、s full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women ma
5、rry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly be-fore their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family

10、2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)People travel for a lot of reasons: Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.(77) Northern Euro
11、peans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of in-conveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a tot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the ra
12、in. This is the reason why the Mediterra-nean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason , sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.
13、Italys 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.(78) But there are signs t
14、hat the area is getting more tourists than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is
15、dangerous because of pollution.None of this, however, is spoiling anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popu-lar every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pol-lution. N
16、o matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.（分数：10.00）(1).The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that_.（分数：2.00）A.they want to see histori
17、c remains or religious spotsB.they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customsC.they would like to take pictures in front of famous sitesD.they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home(2).In Paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are m

Its a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes
22、(as long as youre not held up at the airport), but its an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you dont mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your seasickness pills. All these means of transport have their problems and the we
23、ary traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. “Not possible,“ you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight
24、to London. (79) A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining
25、the EEC (欧共体)? Well, perhaps. The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons disused docklands. A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and revitalize the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. (80) With
26、 a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm! （分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.B.The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a
