21、)“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 together in their own hou
22、se 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. The mans first duty wi
23、ll 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 brothers or sisters, aun
24、ts 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 suitable husband for th
25、eir 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 giving the newly married p
26、air 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 two sides; independence fo
27、r 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：2.00）A.Different families
28、 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 working outB.defending the fa

30、 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 to marriage in Britain,
31、 present-day girls differ from former-time girls in _.（分数：2.00）A.the right familyB.more parental supportC.choosing husbandsD.social position八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Steveland Morris is a household name in America. Ask Steveland Morris and hell tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Ste
32、veland 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 the thing
33、s 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 so impor
34、tant 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 soon grad
35、uated 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 rhythm and
36、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, a large r
37、ecording company now known as Motown. Stevie recorded his first smash hit “Fingertips“ in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevies story is music history.（分数：10.00）(1).This passage could be entitled _.（分数：2.00）A.The Music WorldB.Stevie WonderC.Great MusiciansD.Blind People(2).Which of the followi
38、ng 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 of hearing
39、.(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 instruments
40、D.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 up his o
41、wn 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 work mira

Marine fisheries contribute more to the worlds supply of protein than beef, poultry or any other ani
43、mal source.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 S
44、outheast 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 p
45、eople 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 h
46、ave estimated 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 co
47、uld be 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
48、 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 require only one to five people, while small-scale
49、fisheries would employ between 60 and 3,000. Industrial fishing itself threatens tens of millions of fishermen working on a small scale by depleting the fish on which they depend for subsistence.（分数：10.00）(1).The animal source which provides the most protein for human being is _.（分数：2.00）A.beefB.fishC.porkD.chicken(2).Paragraph 2 indicates that _.（分数：2.00）A.most of man s employment is from fishingB.man can always turn to fishing for employmentC.forty percent of Chileans live on fishing boat
