17、eC.BeforeD.FromA.someoneB.meC.everyoneD.myselfIn the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office, a factory or some other place away from home. Since the man earned the money, he paid the bills. The money was used for food, clothes, a hous

18、e and other family needs. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss. In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked the meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes and did other household wo

19、rk. Her job at home was very important. In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house. (66) Many Americans are happy with this kind of marr

20、iage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities. There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at

21、home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them. A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man may take car

22、e of them some of the time, all of the time, or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children. Or she may want to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. (67) Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of th

23、eir families.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?（分数：2.00）A.Men worked at a job to earn money for the family.B.The woman made most of decisions.C.The woman stayed at home to care for the children.D.The man paid the bills.(2).In recent years, _.（分数：2.00）A.youn

24、g couples reject the traditional relationshipB.the woman has a job and earns money for the familyC.the woman doesnt stay at home and care for the children and the houseD.the roles of men and women have begun to change(3).Men and women may now choose all the following EXCEPT to_.（分数：2.00）A.marry or t

25、o stay singleB.work or to stay at homeC.have the roles that are comfortable for themD.leave their jobs just because they have children(4).The following are all now true EXCEPT that_.（分数：2.00）A.they may choose to have children or notB.the man may take care of the children some of the timeC.the woman

26、may want to go to workD.the woman is the most important person in the house(5).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.The man was the boss in the traditional marriage.B.The womans job at home was very important in the past.C.Many Americans still have a traditional marriage.D.Everyone tries to

27、 get married.Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf, tennis, or it may be mountaineering. Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains

28、are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. (68) Mountaineering is a

29、 sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb

30、mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game“. We should not be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches“ between“teams“of climbers, but when cli

31、mbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their live may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities

32、. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. (69) They may

33、 take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.（分数：10.00）(1).Mountaineering is a sport which involves_.（分数：2.00）A.hardshipB.coldC.physical riskD.all of the above(2).The main difference between a sport

34、 and a game lies in_.（分数：2.00）A.uniformB.activityC.rulesD.skills(3).Mountaineering is also a team sport because_.（分数：2.00）A.it involves rulesB.it involves matches between teamsC.it requires mental and physical qualitiesD.mountaineers depend on each other while climbing(4).Which of the following is t

35、rue?（分数：2.00）A.Mountaineers compete against each other.B.Mountaineers compete against other teams.C.Mountaineers compete against nature.D.Mountaineers compete against international standard.(5).What is the best title for the passage?（分数：2.00）A.MountaineeringB.Mountain ClimbersC.Mountaineering Is Dif

36、ferent from Golf and FootballD.Mountaineering Is More Dangerous than Other SportsMost cities and states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. (70) Both taxable

37、 items and the amount of tax vary considerably, from one.or two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for example, is currently 8% , so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much m

38、ore difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). We say in America that only two things in life are unavoidable; one is death and the other is taxes. Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Weste

39、rners are still putting up with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, bakers, hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you dont, the ser

40、vice person cant earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes) , but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something( either cash o

41、r a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and colleagues.（分数：10.00）(1).This passage is about_.（分数：2.00）A.shopping and tippingB.sales and taxesC.sales taxes and tippingD.sales taxes and people(2).According to the passage, if you buy a pair of

42、$50 shoes in the New York city, you pay an extra_as sales tax.（分数：2.00）A.$4.5B.$4C.$5D.$5.50(3).Usually, cab drivers_.（分数：2.00）A.get high wages from the employerB.get great benefits from the employerC.get low wages from the employerD.get high bonus from the employer(4).According to the passage, whic

43、h of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.The Chinese people have to give tips in western countries.B.The westerners dont have to give high tips in their own country.C.Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D.Tipping varies from place to

44、 place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.(5).Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax_.（分数：2.00）A.have no difference from place to place in the U.S.B.are over 15% in the U. S.C.have been put an end to in the U.S.D.vary from place to place in the U. S.In a classroom in any country, the t

45、eacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind the culture of the country. In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each stude

46、nt special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought. The importance is placed on how to ar

47、rive at an answer and not just to get the correct answer. In most Asian countries people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education there pays more attention to group goals. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In t

48、he classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind. In many ways these differences come from different educa

49、tional ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.（分数：10.00）(1).Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?（分数：2.00）_
