A woma n marrying at the end of the nin etee nth cen tury would probably have seve n or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old and up. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.This important change in women's life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women economic （经济的） position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married their school-leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to fuller part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage （婚姻）, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.61. We are told that in a family about 1900 ______ .A. few children died before they were fiveB. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five62.

Now a husband probably ________ .A. plays a greater part in looking after childrenB. helps his wife by doing much of the houseworkC. feels dissatisfied with his part in the familyD. takes a part-time job so that he can help in the homeCMost schools forbid chewing gum （口香糖）,but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help improve your test scores.This exciting research is just beginning. And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headachesand fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath.Other researchersare finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream. Th'satbecause the lining （膜） of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines （肠） can.That discovery could help other researchersdevelop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and more. Scientists might even create antimicrobial （抗菌的） gums that cure bad breath.Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: They 've created a gum that could help us stay awake.Researchershave produced a gum called Stay Alert. Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. It can take an hour for the caffeine in coffee to have its full effect, but the caffeine in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes.The gum is easy to transport and it 's satanbdlehoint c loimldates. Unlike a pill, it doesn ' t require water to swallow. Those qualities make it easy for soldiers to use.For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military. The manufacturer may one day offer it for sale to the public. People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical personnel who ride in ambulances,might benefit from a product like Stay Alert.66. The passage mainly talks about ___ .A. the rule of forbidding chewing gum in schoolB. new research on chewing gumC. different kinds of chewing gumD. the relationship between chewing gum and medicine67. What does the underlined word “ hits ” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Touches.B. Attacks.C. Takes effect.D. Affects badly.68.

Stay Alert is not easy to storeB. Stay Alert needs water to swallowC. Stay Alert is available to the public nowD. we can ' t buy gums that cure bad breath now70. The gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines into the bloodstream, because .A. the lining of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quicklyB. the gum doesn ' t require water to swallowC. the gum is easy to transportD. the gum is stable in cold and hot climatesPart Four Writing : （45 分）Section A :Write no more than three words for each answerThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health andwealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their min ds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful thin gs. Those who are to be un happy think and speak only of the opposite thin gs. Therefore, they are con ti nu ally dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend （hurt） many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was foun ded in n ature, such un happy pers ons would be the more to be pitied. The inten ti on of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation （仿效）.It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be stro ng, but it may be cured whe n those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them cha nge this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; n obody loves them, and no one treats them with more tha n the most com mon polite ness and respect. This freque ntly puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social positi on or fortune, n obody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public object ions, no one will defe nd or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleas ing, withoutworry ing n eedlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact （联系）with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially whe n one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.Section B Answer the question according to the information given in the passage:Beg inning college is excit ing: new ideas to explore, new challe nges to be met and many decisi ons to be made: your future beg ins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment.
