（共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分）AFamily structure has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. The "Leave it to Beaver" family is no longer the standard, and several variations on family have been created.Nuclear FamilyThe nuclear family is the traditional type of family structure. This family type consists of two parents and children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children. Children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the two- parent structure and generally have more opportunities due to the financial ease of two adults. According to U.S. Census data, almost 70 percent of children live in a nuclear family unit.Single Parent FamilyThe single parent family consists of one parent raising one or more children on his own. The single parent family is the biggest change society has seen in terms of the changes in family structures. One in four children is born to a single mother. Single parent families are generally closeand find ways to work together to solve problems, such as dividing up household chores. When only one parent is at home, it may be a struggle to find childcare, as there is only one parent working, which limits income and opportunities in many cases.Extended FamilyThe extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals, such as raising the children and keeping up with the household duties. Many extended families include cousins, aunts or uncles and grandparents living together. This type of family structure may form due to financial difficulties or because older relatives are unable to care for themselves alone. Extended families are becoming increasingly common all over the world.Childless FamilyWhile most people think of family as including children, there are couples who either cannot or choose not to have children. The childless family is sometimes the "forgotten family," as it does not meet the traditional standards set by society. Childless families consist of a husband and wife living and working together. Many childless families take on the responsibility of pet ownership or have extensive contact with their nieces and nephews as a substitute for having their own children.1.

Extended families form to take care of the old.BWhen I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and I would see these commercials and I was watching other children suffer in other parts of the world and you know the commercials were like, “you can give 25 cents, save a child’s life.” And I would think to myself like, I wonder how many 25 cents I could save up to save all the kids in Africa. And I would say to myself, “Wh en I grow up, when I can get rich, I’ll save kids all over the world.” I just di dn’t know I would be in the position to do that by the time I was a teenager.At 17 I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, such as six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia. Her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors through DKMS. Fast forward to 2012 and then my grandmother, the late Clara Brathwaite, she lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation. At CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one. Just one.All you need to do is help one person, expecting nothing in return. To me, that is a humanitarian. People make it seem too hard, man. The truth is, and what I want the little girl watching those commercials to know, is you don’t have to be rich to help somebody. You don’t have to be famous. You don’t even have to be college-educated.But it starts with your neighbor, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood, you just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.4. We know from the passage that .A. the speaker thought it hard to save 25 centsB. the speaker liked watching commercials on TVC. the speaker was confused by the TV commercialsD. the speaker helped others earlier than she had thought5. What’s the correct order of the events that happened?a. The speaker built up her career in America.b. The speaker wondered when and how she could help kids in Africa.c.

Clara Lionel Foundation was founded.A. a, b, d, e, c, fB. b, a, e, d, c, fC. b, a, d, c, e, fD. b, d, c, f, a, e6. Who does “the little girl”in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A.

You don’t Have to Be Rich to HelpD. Be Always Ready to Take ChallengeCA 12-year-old with end stage cancer, the child’s parents had recently moved her from the hospital to her home in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Some days later the girl’s breath quickened, and her father phoned the family's hospice nurse.The nurse knew the visit would require more than four hours of her time: a two-hour drive in each direction, plus her time with the girl. “Why don’t we connect over FaceTi me?” she asked. The father agreed, and they connected.The nurse asked the father to move his daughter gently to her side, then to her back, to lift the child's shirt. The nurse would ask: what do you see, what concerns you, and the father would explain. In this fashion the pair examined the girl —the nurse on her computer, the father his iPad. T ogether they decided that the nurse’s presence was not necessary, that the child had more time.Later, the father reported feeling comforted by the nurse. He appreciated her availability, the fact that she could see what he saw, and their ability to discuss it in real time.Telemedicine has become a trend in America. Some hospitals have gone so far as to specially design telemedicine clinics. The room is staged like an office but with better lighting. There’s a nice desk for the clinician to sit behind, a computer situated stage left, and books in the background. A physician taking a video call from home might wear a pair of headphones, equipped with a mic —to ensure whatever the patient says isn’t broadcast to anyone off-camera.However, there is something more than the technology bit. According to David, the head of the telemedicine pilot the gir l’s family had been part of, there are some people who are great in person and you put them on camera they’re a dead fish. “Some physicians are camera shy, and thus usually seem ignorant of pati ents’ feelings. For others, the physical isolation can actually help them be more empathetic.” He adds.“My experience is that, once you get past some initial hurdles, you can maintain an intimate, immediate connection with patients that in some cases may be more useful than even in-person interactions.” David says.8. In the case mentioned by the writer, we learn that .A. a physician was arranged after the nurse knew it would take a long timeB. the nurse successfully diagnosed the girl with an Ipad over FaceTimeC.the gir l’s father showed satisfaction and thought highly of the service D.the 12-year-old girl was dying and should be sent to hospital in no time9. What do we know about the rooms for telemedicine?A. Better lights are provided for a comfortable environment.B. Headphones with mics are equipped to protect privacy of patients.C. Professional books are in place for immediate consultation.D. The room with a computer is situated in the doctor’s home.11. What challenges may clinicians face in telemedicine?A. They are afraid of being isolated from patients.B. They could not examine the patients carefully.C. They are required to deal with in-person interactions.D. They may not feel quite themselves in front of a camera.12. What does the underlined word “empathetic” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A. understandingB. independentC. indifferentD. confidentDEvery country may have to consider what, if anything, to do about “global warming”.We should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true.Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from the 2009 “C limateg ate”email of climate scientist Kevin Trenberth: “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is an irony that we can’t.” But the warming is only missing if one believes computer models where so-called feedbacks involving water vapor and clouds greatly amplify the small effect of CO2. The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant and it is a key component of the biosphere (生物圈) ’s life cycle. Plants get better growth with more of it and part of the increase of agricultural yields in the past century certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.Although the number of the scientists who are publicly opposed to the claim is growing, many young scientists secretly say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warmingmessage, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted or worse.Why is there so much passion about global warming? There are several reasons, but a good place to start is the old question “Cui bono?”, or the modern update, “Fo llow the m oney”. Alarmism over climate is of great benefit to many, providing government funding for academic research, and thus those people who benefit from this fiercely defended their dogma and the privileges it brought them.Every country should support rational measures to protect and improve our environment, but it makes no sense at all to back expensive programs that turn away resources from real needs and are based on alarming but shaky claims of “incontrovertibl e”evidence.12. According to the passage, global warming .A. hasn’t happened in the latest 10 yearsB. has become an urgent problem these yearsC. has worsened a little bit in the recent yearsD. has never happened since measures were taken13. Which of the following statements about CO2 does the writer probably agree with?A. CO2 greatly affects the global warming.B. CO2 makes crops more productive.C. CO2 involves water vapor and clouds.D. CO2 is the most important part of the biosphere.14. Why is there so much passion for global warming?A. Because it is a good chance for young scientists to be promoted.B. Because the scientists want to have an insight of the problem.C. Because the government values the problem and tries to solve it.D. Because some people can greatly benefit from the research about it.15. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the programs to protect and improve our environment?A. To support all the programs as long as they are beneficial.B. To support cheap programs instead of expensive ones.C. To support the programs that are necessary and reliable.D. To support those programs that use less money and resource.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
