22、(总题数：3，分数：30.00)BText 1/B“Family“ is of course an elastic word. And in different countries it has different meanings. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living t
23、ogether in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in- dependent familyhence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life
24、. The mans first duty will then be to his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and their alone. Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their
25、brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the patents duty to find a
26、 suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their gi
27、ving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. Every coin has tw
28、o sides; independence for girls is no exception. But it may be a good thing for all of the girls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate (部下，下级) of their parents and husbands.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word“?（分数：2
29、.00）A.Different families have different ways of life.B.Different definitions could be given to the word.C.Different nations have different families.D.Different times produce different families.(2).For. an English family, the husbands duty is _.（分数：2.00）A.supporting the family while the wife is worki
30、ng outB.defending the family while the wife is running the homeC.providing financial support while the wife is running the homeD.independent while his wife is also independent(3).Everything is decided in a family _.（分数：2.00）A.by the coupleB.with the help of their parentsC.by brothers and sistersD.wi
31、th the help of aunts and uncles(4).What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?（分数：2.00）A.It is the best book on marriage.B.It is a handbook on marriage.C.It gives some idea of English social life in the past.D.It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.(5).With regard
32、 to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in _.（分数：2.00）A.the right familyB.more parental supportC.choosing husbandsD.social positionBText 2/BSteveland Morris is a household name in America. Ask Steveland Morris and hell tell you that blindness is not necessarily disab
33、ling. Steveland was born prematurely(过早地，不到期地) and totally without sight in 1950s. He became Stevie Wondercomposer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely acclaimed(喝采) for his outstanding contributions to the music world.As a child, Stevie learned not to think about
34、the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the usually disabled are so dependent.Because sound was
35、 so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica(口琴), and listened to the radio.Stevie
36、soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drams. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir(唱诗班) and a lead singer. In the evening and on weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular rh
37、ythm and blues tunes on the front porches (走廊)of neighbors homes.One of Stevies sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles. Ronnie immediately recognized Stevies talent and took him to audition(试听) for Berry Gordy, the president of Hitsville USA,
38、a large recording company now known as Motown.

39、e following is NOT true about Stevies childhood?（分数：2.00）A.Stevie often told people that a blind person was not necessarily disabled.B.He learnt to concentrate on things that he could do.C.He played as often as possible with his brother, who had normal sight.D.He tried very hard to train his sense o
40、f hearing.(3).By saying “Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments“, the author means that _.（分数：2.00）A.Stevie finished his study at a toy instruments schoolB.Stevie began to study in a real instruments schoolC.Stevie gave up ail his toy instruments and began to buy many real in
41、strumentsD.Stevie started to play real instruments(4).The author mentions all the following facts EXCEPT that _.（分数：2.00）A.Stevies neighbors could often enjoy his playing and singingB.it was Ronnie White that recognized Stevies talent and led him to a successful careerC.Berry Cordy helped him to set
42、 up his own recording companyD.Stevies parents played a very important part in training his sense of hearing(5).The “Fingertips“ _.（分数：2.00）A.recorded Stevie s musical performance that won him instant fameB.was a record that turned out to be a great successC.carried the message that the blind could
43、work miracles with their fingertipsD.all of the aboveBText 3/BFishing adds only about one percent to the global economy, but on a regional basis it can con- tribute extremely to human survival. Marine fisheries contribute more to the worlds supply of protein than beef, poultry or any other animal so
44、urce.Fishing typically does not need land ownership, and because it remains, generally, open to all, it is often the employer of last resort in the developing worldan occupation when there are no other choices. Worldwide, about 200 million people rely on fishing for their livelihoods. Within Southea
45、st Asia alone, over five million people fish full-time. In northern Chile forty percent of the population lives off the ocean. In Newfoundland most employment came from fishing or servicing that industryuntil the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early 1990s that left tens of thousands of people
46、out of work.Though debates over the conservation of natural resources are often cast as a conflict between jobs and the environment, the restoration of fish populations would in fact boost employment. Michael P. Sissenwine and Andrew A. Rosenberg of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service have es
47、timated that if depleted species were allowed to rebuild to their long-term potential, their sustainable use would add about $ 8 billion to the U.S. gross domestic productand provide about 300,000 jobs. If fish populations were restored and properly managed, about twenty million metric tons could be
48、 added to the worlds annual catch. But restoration of ecological balance, fiscal profitability (收益) and economic security will requirea continual reduction in the capacity of the commercial fishing industry so that wild populations can recover.The necessary reductions in fishing workforce need not come at the expense of jobs. Govern-merits could increase employment and reduce the pressure on fish populations by guiding subsidies a- way from highly mechanised ships. For each $ l ,000,000 of investment, industrial-scale fishing operations r
