23、same society. The familys form changes as it adapts to changing social and economic influences. Until recently, the most common form in North America was the nuclear family, consisting of a married couple with their minor children. The nuclear family is an independent unit. It must be prepared to fe

24、nd for itself. Individual family members strongly depend on one another. There is little help from outside the family in emergencies. Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so. In North America, the elderly often do not live with the family； t

25、hey live in retirement communities and nursing homes.There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies, such as North America, and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits, who live in harsh environments. The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of

26、mobility. In harsh conditions, mobility allows the family to hunt for food. For North Americans, the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.The nuclear family was not always the North American standard. In a more agrarian time, the small nuclear family was usually part of a

27、larger extended family. This might have included grandparents, mother and father, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. In North America today, there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households. Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced, separa

28、ted, or nevermarried individuals as are comprised of nuclear families. The structure of the family, not just in North America, but throughout the world, continues to change as it adapts to changing conditions.（分数：15.00）(1).Another good title for this passage would be_（分数：3.00）A.Living with Hardship.

31、isticsD.telling a story(5).The word mobility means_（分数：3.00）A.readiness to moveB.organizationC.moneyD.skill六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Stress level Tied to Education LevelPeople with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social B

32、ehavior.However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you are in society determines the kinds of probl

33、ems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people with a high school d

34、egree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.“Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health,“ lead researcher Dr Joseph Grzywacz, of Wake Forest University Ba

35、ptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. “The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors, and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged. “Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people repo

36、rt fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.“If something happens every day, maybe its not seen as a stressor,“ Grzywacz says. “Maybe it is just life. /（分数：15.00）(1).Stress level is closely related to_（分数：3.00）A.family sizeB.social statusC.body weightD.work experi

40、e than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamin-enric

41、hed fluid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafe

42、teria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in sele

43、cting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on whats best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom“, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people

44、 eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.（分数：15.00）(1).In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats drinking water to_（分数：3.00）A.encourage rats to drink vita

45、min-enriched waterB.find out rats preference in flavorC.test whether rats know which drink is good for themD.demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless(2).The expression “the habit“ (para. 1, sentence 4) refers to drinking water which_（分数：3.00）A.has no smellB.is tastelessC.has vitaminsD.is flavored(3).
