17、raditional 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 house and other family needs. The man made most of the dec

18、isions. 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 work. Her job at home was very important.In recent years,

19、 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 marriage. But some other Americans have a different impressi

20、on 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 home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfor

21、table 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 care of them some of the time, all of the time, or not at all

22、. 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 their families.46 Which of the following is NOT true in the

23、traditional marriage?（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.47 In recent years, _.（A）young couples reject the traditional relationship（B） the woman has a job and earns mo

24、ney for the family（C） the woman doesnt stay at home and care for the children and the house（D）the roles of men and women have begun to change48 Men and women may now choose all the following EXCEPT to_.（A）marry or to stay single（B） work or to stay at home（C） have the roles that are comfortable for t

25、hem（D）leave their jobs just because they have children49 The following are all now true EXCEPT that_.（A）they may choose to have children or not（B） the man may take care of the children some of the time（C） the woman may want to go to work（D）the woman is the most important person in the house50 Which

26、of the following is NOT true?（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 get married.50 Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walki

27、ng, 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 are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold

28、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 sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf

29、 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 mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more

30、 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 climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their live may depend, there is obvio

31、usly 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.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably pa

32、st 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 take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skills and less waste

33、of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.51 Mountaineering is a sport which involves_.（A）hardship（B） cold（C） physical risk（D）all of the above52 The main difference between a sport and a game lies in_.（A）uniform（B） activity（C） rules（D）skills53 Mountaineering is also a team sport becau

34、se_.（A）it involves rules（B） it involves matches between teams（C） it requires mental and physical qualities（D）mountaineers depend on each other while climbing54 Which of the following is true?（A）Mountaineers compete against each other.（B） Mountaineers compete against other teams.（C） Mountaineers comp

35、ete against nature.（D）Mountaineers compete against international standard.55 What is the best title for the passage?（A）Mountaineering（B） Mountain Climbers（C） Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football（D）Mountaineering Is More Dangerous than Other Sports55 Most cities and states in the U. S.

36、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 items and the amount of tax vary considerably, from one.or two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others.

37、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 more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). We say in America that only two things in life are u

38、navoidable; 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 Westerners are still putting up with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, bakers, hairdress

39、ers 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 service person cant earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (be

40、fore 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 or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and colleagues.56 T

41、his passage is about_.（A）shopping and tipping（B） sales and taxes（C） sales taxes and tipping（D）sales taxes and people57 According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $50 shoes in the New York city, you pay an extra_as sales tax.（A）$4.5（B） $4（C） $5（D）$5.5058 Usually, cab drivers_.（A）get high wages fr

42、om the employer（B） get great benefits from the employer（C） get low wages from the employer（D）get high bonus from the employer59 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（A）The Chinese people have to give tips in western countries.（B） The westerners dont have to give high t

43、ips 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 place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60 Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax_.（A）have no difference from place to place in t

44、he 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.60 In a classroom in any country, the teacher 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

45、 States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in

46、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 arrive 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 th

47、is 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 the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the

48、 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 educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In som

49、e Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.61 Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information? 62 There is often discussion in the classroom in America, isnt there? 63 What does the education in the United States encourage? 64 Which does education in some Asian countries pay more attention to, gro
