Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 The cohesiveness(内聚力 )of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine practices and events. For a growing share of the

27、 American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours - what we here call “shiftwork“ - makes the lives of families difficult. Existing research shows that both male and female shiftworkers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work an

28、d family life. But shiftwork couples still maintain a traditional attitude about the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do“ whatever it takes“ to approximate their view of a proper marriage, including sacrificing sleep and doing conventi

29、onal things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed - even when wives worked outside their homes a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are “providers whose major responsibility is to support the family; wives are “homemakers“ who clea

30、n, cook , and care for husbands and children. As couples encountered shiftwork schedules, however, initial expectations about what it would take to create a marriage and family were put to test. One woman expressed her dreams about what marriage was supposed to be: “It would make me feel like I had

31、more of a home atmosphere, you know. Thats the way I always expected being married having the husband go off, come in the evenings and spend the rest of the evenings together, you know that s the way we thought it would be. It doesnt work out that way. The womens definitions of a “good husband“ are

32、typified by the following wifes response: I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking when its time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead o

33、f sitting back expecting me to do everything. To husbands, a good wife was someone who was: Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don t want her to give me a lot of shit when I come ho

34、me from work because - I dont know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shiftworkers. 46 Despite_, shiftwork couples still hoped to maintain a stable life. （ A） traditional beliefs about marriage （ B） lack of control over time （ C） a very clear divisi

35、on of roles （ D） the demands of work 47 From the selection, we can conclude that female shiftworkers were NOT satisfied with_. （ A） their work （ B） their children （ C） their husbands inability to protect the family and provide companionship （ D） leisure activities 48 What is implied by the author? （

36、 A） Shiftwork had a direct effect on the attitudes and behavior of family members. （ B） Shiftworkers could live a normal life. （ C） Shiftwork couples had unconventional ideas about marriage. （ D） Female shiftworkers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families. 49 In order to cont

37、inue the marriages of the shiftworkers, _. （ A） wives must learn to care for the children when their husbands are absent （ B） shiftwork couples must administer their time and activities （ C） wives mustnt adapt their own feelings of boredom to their husbands work （ D） all of these 50 The best title f

39、the earth s surface, as well as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25 000 feet into the earths interior. Sometimes crude oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are drilled than those generating oil. Pressure at the so

40、urce or pumping forces crude oil to the surface. Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour. Petroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barrels. Petroleum products are different in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but their chemi

41、cal composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these are of such minute quantities that they are

42、disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule. The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the vapors. T

43、hese products are light oils, such as gasoline, kerosene , and distillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils are distilled is named as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure of t

44、he hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various kinds of gasoline. 51 Which of the following is NOT true? （ A） Crude oil is found below land and water. （ B） Crude oil is always found a few hundred feet below the surface. （ C） Pum

45、ping and pressure force crude oil to the surface. （ D） A variety of petroleum products is obtained from crude oil. 52 Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because_. （ A） the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance （ B） complicated refining processes rearrange the chemi

46、cal structure （ C） the two atoms in the molecule assume many positions （ D） the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes molecular transformation 53 Which of the following is TRUE? （ A） The various petroleum products are produced by filtration. （ B） Heating and condensation produce the vari

47、ous products. （ C） Chemical separation is used to produce the various products. （ D） Mechanical means such as the centrifuge are used to produce the various products. 54 How is crude oil brought to the surface? （ A） By expansion of the hydrocarbons. （ B） By pressure and pumping. （ C） By vacuum creat

48、ed in the drilling pipe. （ D） By expansion and contraction of the earths surface. 55 Which of the following is NOT listed as a light oil? （ A） Gasoline. （ B） Kerosine. （ C） Distillate oil. （ D） Diesel oil. 55 By the time we had completed our preparations, the sky was beginning to grow rapidly lighte

49、r, although the sun was not yet above the horizon. We waited unpatiently, hardly daring to move or to whisper to one another. Suddenly, we heard the quick beating of wings and one of the birds we were looking for flew up from the valley beyond. He flied straight to the tree and settled on a thin branch, stripped bare of leaves, which grew diagonally upwards from the main trunk. Immediately he began to clean himself, combi
