25、or D. 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 American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours what we here call “shiftwork“ makes the liv

26、es 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 and family life. But shifiwork couples still maintain a traditional attitude about the meaning of marriage and the individual rol

27、es 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 conventional things at unconventional hours. For the ma- jority of couples interviewed even when wives worked outside their homes a pro

28、per 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 clean, cook, and care for husbands and children. As couples encountered shifiwork schedules, however, initial expectations about w

29、hat 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 more of a home atmosphere, you know. That s the way I always expected being married having the husband go off, come in the even

30、ings and spend the rest as the evenings together, you know thats the way we thought it would be. It doesnt work out that way. The women s definitions of a “good husband“ are typified by the following wife s response: I him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same thi

31、ngs as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking when it s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything. To husbands, a good wife was someone who was. Understanding of what I feel go through

32、 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 home from work because I don t know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shiftworker

33、s. 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 division of roles （ D） the demands of work 47 From the selection, we can conclude that female shiftworkers were NOT satisfied with_. （ A）

37、ormal Life 50 Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosine, home heating oil, residual fuel oil, and lubricating oil, all come from one source crude oil found below 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

38、 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 source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface. Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per. hour. P

39、etroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barrels. Petroleum products are different in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical eleme

40、nts 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 disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various posi

41、tions 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. These products are light oils, such as gasoline, kerosine, and distillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils are distill

42、ed 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 the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various kinds of gasol

43、ine. 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） Pumping and pressure force crude oil to the surface. （ D） A variety of petroleum products is obtained from crude oil. 52 Many thousands

44、of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because_. （ A） the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance （ B） complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure （ C） the two atoms in the molecule assume many positions （ D） the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes mol

45、ecular transformation 53 Which of the following is TRUE? （ A） The various petroleum products are produced by filtration. （ B） Heating and condensation produce the various products. （ C） Chemical separation is used to produce the various products. （ D） Mechanical means such as the centrifuge are used

46、 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 created in the drilling pipe. （ D） By expansion and contraction of the earths surface. 55 Which of the following is NOT listed as a light

47、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 lighter, although the sun was not yet above the horizon. We waited unpatiently, hardly daring to move or to whisper to one another. Suddenl

48、y, 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, combing with

49、his beak the long soft feathers which grew from beneath his wings and extended past his tail in a glorious red cloud. Charless camera, on a trial run, sounded unexcepted loud, but the bird took no notice and continued with his cleaning until at last he drew himself up and shook himself. Then, head held high, he called a single, loud, sharp note which resounded over the valley. He seemed in no hurry to begin his dance, as h
