The family was the child's only school. The family was the only means to settle a dispute. Nowadays，the family is still the "world" in some cultures. But in many cultures，these 32 functions of the family have largely been 33 by other institutions，such as schools，churches，and governments.In the 34 ，families changed in other ways，some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants，the family had to be small 35 move around, and when they settled down to 36 to obtain food，they found that they needed more 37 to do the work. Then the new family developed in some cultures. Now 38 to their children，people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.H ow are families changing today?

So in the 1960s the government set up a number of new universities in Britain to provide everyone with sufficient opportunity to study. But now something has gone wrong. There is still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects, but many places for scientists are not taken up.The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical. They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university education. Why have their calculations proved wrong? One reason is that a lot of young people can get enough qualifications to work in industry by going to technical school. They think university courses are too long and tootheoretical.

Many Americans prefer large cars. As a result, European auto-makers produce a wide variety of economical, lightweight cars while American auto-makers tend to build bigger, heavier cars.The price of gasoline has much to do with this. Gasoline is expensive in Europe, so Europeans naturally prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many Old World cities have very narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than alarge one.Some Americans like powerful engines in their cars. They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips. They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages.Other Americans, however, have learned to like small,nimble cars. Many visitors to Europe during and after WWⅡ discovered that small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces. They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline.In the 1950s，many Americans began buying European cars. In 1953, for the first time, the United States imported more cars than it exported. The best seller among these imported cars was an odd-looking but dependable small car from Germany. Americans promptly nicknamed it "the bug".Today, American car buyers have a wide choice. There are big cars for people who want elbow room, comfort and power. And there are small cars, mostly imported but some American-made, for people who want easy parking and economical operation.46．Implied but not stated:_______.[A] All Americans buy European cars.[B] No one wants to drive a powerful car.[C] Small cars are not expensive to run.[D] Americans don't like roomy cars.47．What does the word "nimble" mean?_______.[A] cheap[B] beautiful[C] swift[D] foreign48．On the whole, the article tells about_______.[A] parking cars in America[B] the price of gasoline[C] the price of roomy cars[D] big cars and small cars49．Why do some people want to purchase big cars? _______.[A] They want to have elbow room, comfort and power.[B] It is easier to park big cars.[C] They need to make long-distance journey.[D] Big cars cost less than small cars.50．Which statement seems true according to the article?_______.[A] Americans are not accustomed to traveling in Europe.[B] People like to choose cars from many choices.[C] People like to buy European cars without any specific reason.[D] No one drives big cars in Old World cities.Passage 3The bath was invented before the bath plug. The bath plug couldnot have been invented before the bath, except as a small object with which to play ice hockey. The order in which inventions are made is very important, much more important than has ever been realized, because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier ones. A moment's thought will show this is not so. If, for example, a solution to today's urban traffic problems was proposed in the shape of a small man-powered two-wheeled vehicle which would make the motor car look like a cumbersome （笨重的）over-powered device, a space rocket trying to tackle suburban problems, we would greet it as a great technological breakthrough. “bIcycle makes car obsolete!”We would cry. Unfortunately, the bike came first, so we shall always unconsciously see it as a cruder version of the car. Other things which may have been invented too early are the airship, the radio, the railway train, the cuff-link.Consider also the zipper. Zippers represent a technological advance on buttons, being faster and more complete. They are also more liable to come adrift, break, jam, stick and catch. Buttons can only go wrong if the thread is faulty. Even then, buttons can be mended by the user, Zips rarely can.51．If the bicycle were to be invented now, the car would appear_______.[A] unsuitable for its purpose[B] in advance of its time[C] unnecessarily expensive[D] too far for safety52．The railway train and the radio are examples of things which_______.[A] were not fully appreciated at the time of their invention[B] are more suitable for use now than when they were invented[C] are neglected in favor of more recent invention[D] are less suited to their purpose than earlier invention53．According to the author, buttons are preferable to zippers because they_______.[A] are more convenient[B] are more reliable[C] cost less to replace[D] are more complete54．What conclusion can be drawn from the article? _______.[A] Modern technology can't solve our problems.[B] Everything has two aspects, advantages and disadvantages.[C] We should change our usual way of thinking about inventions.[D] Technological innovations do not always mean more benefits55．What does the word "obsolete" mean?_______.[A] outdated[B] slow in movement[C] ridiculous[D] awkwardIV.

Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 20 points)Directions: There are 2 passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there arejz*four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal〞. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.31. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may.[A]cause a shortage of apartments[B]worry those who rent apartments as homes[C]increase the profits of landlords[D]encourage landlords to invest in building apartment32.According to the critics, rent control[A]will always benefit those who rent apartments[B]is unnecessary[C]will bring negative effects in the long run[D]is necessary under all circumstances33.The problem of unemployment will arise[A]if the minimum wage is set too high[B]if the minimum wage is set too low[C]if the workers are unskilledjz*[D]if the maximum wage is set34.The passagetells us[A]the relationship between supply and demand[B]the possible results of government controls[C]the necessity of government control[D]the urgency of getting rid of government controls35.Which of the following statements is NOT true"[A]The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.[B]Minimum wage can not always protect employees.[C]Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.[D]Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country" Or doesn't it matter" Should you use both hands when you are eating" Should leave one in your lap, or on the table"The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.36. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is late for the dinner"[A]. He should find an excuse[B]. He should ask for excuse.[C]. He should say sorry[D].He should telephone to explain his being late.37."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable." "Bad manners " means ________.[A] ugly [B] dishonest [C] impolite [D] shameful38. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage" .[A] Social Customs and Customs [B] Social Life[C] American and British Customs [D] Promptness Is Importantjz*39. According to the text, the best host_______.[A]. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortable[B]. makes his guests feel excited[C]. tries to avoid being naughty to his guests[D]. tries to avoid being foolish40.The author of this article may agree with which of the following"[A]. The guest who ate his peas with a knife[B]. The other guests who were amused or shocked[C].The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way[D]. None of the aboveIII.

大学英语A统考模拟试题三
一、阅读理解“You’re trying to control my life,” says my nine-year-old son. “I don’t know why you think you can do that, but you can’t.” I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says,“You let him have his way from the beginning.”It’s true. I have always asked Gabriele’s opinion, found out how he felt about things – treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I’m not alone; it’s a complaint heard among parents across the country.It’s not just that we’re confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised – to try something more liberal than our parents’ “do it because I say so” approach – our generation has gone too far. “Today’s parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children,” says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator.“When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other,” says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. “We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it’s about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences.”Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. “By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly,” he says. B ut this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids.Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn’t believe th e dramas that played out in the children’s shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn’t want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting up and throwing shoes around.Rhonda Radice, Munday’s younger colleague, is one parent who has bucked the trend and is proud of it. “I don’t negotiate with them. You can’t. I’ve seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn’t have to buy love and respect.”1、The author’s way of treating her son ____________.A、is shared by many parentsB、is encouraged by her motherC、proves to be quite successfulD、shows little concern for the child参考答案:A解析:【答案】A【解析】第二段最后一句说我的孩子经常跟我顶嘴，但这不是我一个人的问题，许多家长都有这样的抱怨。

ACambridge Open DaysThe Cambridge Open Days for potential applicants in Year 12 will be on 5 and 6 July (booking is essential)．All subjects will be offering course presentations and information stands.Tours and additional sessions may also be available in subject departments.Many colleges will be open all day for Cambridge Open Day visitors.However，some will be holding their own collegespecific event, for which a separate booking with that college is required.College open daysDuring college open days you can pick up a range of information and get a sense of college life, but remember that visiting a particular college doesn't commit you to applying to that college.Department open daysDepartment open days focus on the specific course(s) in that faculty or department.You get to meet some lecturers, and see the library and other facilities.See the relevant course entry (P 44－117) for dates and contact the appropriate department to book a place.Subject masterclassesSubject masterclasses provide an opportunity to explore topics of interest beyond what's covered at A Level or IB Higher Level, and to experience typical undergraduate teaching at Cambridge.Each subjectspecific masterclass involves two or three taster lectures, an overview of the admissions process and chance to speak to current undergraduates.CUSU Target SchemeThe Target Scheme is a studentrun initiative by which current Cambridge undergraduates visit state schools or colleges across the country.The visits are intended to give information to Year 12 students and provide an opportunity for them to hear about the university from a current student's perspective.The Target Scheme can also offer sessions on postA Level choices for younger students.21．What can students do on department open days?A．Experience college life.B．Explore their interests.C．Tour university facilities.D．Fill in college application forms. 22．Where can you get a brief outline of the admissions process?A．IB higher level examinations.B．Subject masterclasses.C．CUSU Target Scheme.D．State schools.23．What does CUSU Target Scheme feature?A．Booking in advance.B．Visiting school library.C．Taster lectures.D．A studentrun project.BThough 3D printingtechnology has been available for over two decades，it has not gone mainstream as hoped because of the high cost and slow print speed.But that may change soon，thanks to German sportswear manufacturer Adidas.On December 15,2016，the company revealed Adidas 3D Runners，stylish sports sneakers featuring a 3D printed midsole (鞋底夹层) that provides athletes with the extra cushioning (软垫) needed for optimal performance.Unlike traditional midsoles，these are not a uniform foam (泡沫)，but weblike structures with varied density to take into account the impact areas of the foot.This means that the mesh (网眼) is thicker in the shoe's front and back，both of which hit the ground hard when the athlete runs.A3Dprinted heel，put into the midsole，eliminates the need for traditional gluing or stitching (缝合)．The shoe upper，made of Primeknit，allows for increased flexibility，stability，and protection in the impact areas.Not surprisingly，the stylish，limited edition black training shoes that were only available for sale in New York City，London，and Tokyo and cost $333，were an instant hit and sold out within hours of their release.Though not affordable or available to the mass market，the radical shoes are an encouraging step in the right direction for more widespread use of the technology.While printing 3D objects may sound complicated，the process is relatively straightforward.Once the design is downloaded to a printer，a laser creates a layer of material，usually plastic or metal.Successive layers are deposited above one another and fused together until the product is complete.The technology can be used to build everything，from shoe soles to a microwave oven.There is currently even an effort underway to make a printer that is large enough to create the cement layers required to build a house.24．3D printed midsoles are different from ordinary ones in that ________.A．they are made of uniform foamB．they are held together with glueC．the meshes are larger than ordinary onesD．they are like webs with different density25．The underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”．A．catch up with B．get related toC．be connected with D．get rid of26．From Paragraph 3 we can infer that ________.A．the shoes sold wellB．the shoes were relatively cheapC．the shoes can satisfy the need of the marketD．the company can mass produce the shoes 27．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A．What a 3D printer is.B．How a 3D printer works.C．How complicated the process is.D．What size a 3D printer is.COne thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea.Today，when we think of Western tea culture，we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.Afternoon teaPeople believe that an English lady，Anna，first introduced the idea of afternoon tea.In the 18th and 19th centuries，the English ate only two main meals each day：breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening.As a result，people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals.To solve this problem，Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o'clock.This meal included cakes and sandwiches.And tea was served to wash down the food.In order to make this afternoon meal important，fine china cups and plates and silver teapots，knives，forks and spoons were used.Soon，afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions.Today，afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.Will you come for coffee?Coffee also plays an important role in British culture.People often use “Will you come for coffee？” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat？”．Normally，several different drinks such as tea，hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee，and you will be asked what you would like.However，you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.Coffeehouses and the London Stock ExchangeIn the 17th century London，coffeehouses were busy and noisyplaces.Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business，as well as to drink coffee.In fact，the London Stock Exchange (伦敦股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.28．Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tea because she ________.A．enjoyed chatting with her friends at homeB．loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cupsC．found people felt hungry during the longwait between the two mealsD．wanted to share nice food with her friends29．If someone says to you “Will you come for coffee？”，you ________.A．will be offered coffee onlyB．will be asked what you would like to drink C．will be invited to take part in an afternoon tea partyD．will be asked to have a chat with him or her30．From the last paragraph we can see ________.A．a new business was started in coffeehouses B．coffeehouses are still used by businessmen and bankersC．businessmen and bankers went tocoffeehouses just for coffeeD．most people wouldn't like to go tocoffeehouses because of the noise 31．Which is the best title of the passage?A．British and Chinese CulturesB．English Tea and Coffee CultureC．Coffeehouses and BusinessD．The Beginning of Tea and CoffeeDSometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet，or new plans to battle its effects.But the concept itself isn't new at all—in fact，scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824，when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth's temperature.Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid：As light shines through the glass，the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat.As Fourier's ideas spread，it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”．Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect.Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along did scientists understand how global warming actuallyworks.After years of work，Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2，and other gases trap radiation，which warms the atmosphere.Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect.But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet.At a lecture later that year，Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”．While Arrhenius' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry，scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950，when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it.By the end of the 1950s，American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the longterm consequences of climate change.Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect—still，maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.32．What does the underlined word “it” inParagraph 2 refer to?A．The atmosphere.B．The greenhouse effect.C．The climate change.D．The heat from the sun.33．When did the scientists find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A．In 1903. B．In 1950.C．200 years ago. D．By the end of 1950s.34．What's the author's attitude towards Arrhenius' wish?A．Positive. B．Indifferent.C．Supportive. D．Opposed. 35．What's the main idea of the text?A．Causes of climate change.B．Effects of greenhouse gases.C．Explorations on climate change. D．Findings about global warming.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 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。

It combines science fiction, horror, and coming-of-age elements in a beautiful but cruel story, which deals with the power of friendship, the pains of growing up, and self-sacrifice in the face of a cruel situation.The book centers on Tommy, Ruth, and Kathy, who tells the story. It describes their childhood at a strange boarding school called Hailsham House, where the children all have excellent medical care but a very low quality of life. The students and teachers also act very strangely. A frightening reality is revealed: The students are all “donors”—clones of other people—who were created to donate their organs once they grow up.The novel Never Let Me Go is not the only one by Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. He has also written six other novels, a number of short stories, four screenplays, and a handful of song lyrics. His moving words are highly regarded by both readers and critics. He has been nominated (提名) for the well-known Man Booker Prize four times, and he won in 1989 with his novel, The Remains of the Day. In 2017, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.Though Ishiguro has written screenplays, he was not the one who adapted Never Let Me Go into a film. The film version was released in 2010 and still stayed true to the novel. Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, and Andrew Garfield played Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy. I was on the whole a success with critics and was well-liked at film festivals around the world. The movie version, however, could not live up to the book in the end. Although audiences generally praised the movie and the actors’ performances, the film ver sion did not reach the same level of success as the novel.4、What makes the boarding school strange?A. It is at a non-profit.B. It serves an immoral purpose.C. The students have physical problems.D. The students are all from poor families.5、What can we know about the film version of Never Let Me Go?A. It differed from the novel.B. It was a screenplay adapted by Ishiguro.C. It got much praise from the audience.D. It was more successful than the novel itself.6、Which of the following best describes Ishiguro as a writer?A. Humorous.B. Ambitious.C. Active.D. Productive.7、What style is the text?A. A news report.B. A book review.C. A children’s story.D. A diary entry.For breeding (繁殖) birds, timing is everything. Most species have just a narrow window to get the food they need to feed chicks. Now, after analyzing data that span from 1975 to 2017, a science team suggests that as the climate warms, birds are not only breeding earlier, but their breeding windows are also narrowed—some by as many as 4 to 5 days.On average, the beginnings and ends of the breeding periods are occurring earlier in the year. However, the ends are shifting back faster than the beginnings, resulting in an average breeding window that is 1.7 days shorter in 2017 than it was in 1975. During that same period, Finland’s average temperature rose by 0.8℃, suggesting many bird species are actively responding to changing temperatures, Hällfors, who led the team, says.changes,” she says. However, the shorter breeding windows mean more birds are breeding earlier in the season—a risky time for chicks’ survival, especially if the weather turns suddenly cold. In addition, because many late-season species are shifting their breeding windows up, that could mean more competition for food and nesting sites early on, leaving some chicks to go hungry.Lucyna Halupka, an ecologist at the University of Wroclaw, calls the study “a very important paper” because it’s one of the few ways to measure the breeding period duration. For 2 decades, she says, many scientists studying birds and climate change have looked only at the earliest, median (中间的), or mean laying dates for specific groups of birds. However, she reminds that because the study is limited to Finland, the findings may not apply universally; future studies should examine how breeding seasons move in other regions where the effect of climate change is different. They should also try to determine how shifting breeding windows affect population sizes, she says.8、What did the scientists find?A. The weather in Finland becomes warmer.B. It is becoming more difficult for birds to breed.C. The birds in Finland spend fewer days breeding.D. There isn’t enough food for some chicks in Finland.9、What does the underlined word “optimum” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Exact.B. Proper.C. Changeable.D. Dangerous.10、What is the significance of the study according to Lucyna?A. It is carried out in a different way.B. It is helpful for people to protect the birds.C. It opens a window for people to learn about these birds.D. It demonstrates the living situation of the birds on earth.11、What is the best title for the text?A. Scientists Revealed the Secrets of Bird s’ BreedingB. Scientists Take Steps to Protect the Birds in the WildC. Birds Play a Role in Fighting Against Global WarmingD. Birds’ Breeding Windows Are Affected by Global WarmingAfter limiting the screen time, the minors in China are prohibited against getting tattooed (文身) now.According to the guideline, which came out on June 6th, 2022, any enterprise, organization and individuals should be stopped from providing inking services. The guideline also prohibits “encouraging or forcing” children into g etting tattoos, while encouraging parents to advise their children against getting tattooed.“All agencies that provide tattooing services should clearly display signs refusing minors, and ask customers to show their IDs if it’s hard to judge their age based on their appearance,” the guideline said.Tattoo culture has gained popularity especially among the country’s youth in recent years. They regard it as a form of fashion and self expression. However, tattoos haven’t been widely accepted in the society and they might have a bad influence on people in some situations.Amanla, a tattoo artist in the southwestern Yunnan Province, said he agreed with the ban. He said, “Protection is necessary. But more deeply, it’s also disrespectful for people to do something merely to be cool without knowing what they really want or understanding the pattern being drawn on their body.”In recent years, several regions have issued local regulations banning tattoo services for children. In June of last year, a court in the eastern Jiangsu Province ordered a tattoo shop to stop tattooing minors after being accused of using ink containing harmful pigments (色素).Yuan Ningning, a legal advisor specializing in family education law, said that the working guideline has cleared up the responsibilities between different regulators and called for more education and specific punishments.“The central government has already formed a consensus (共识),” Yuan said. “But it takes a learning process among the local authorities for the guideline to be effective. That’s the first and a very crucial step.”12、What should the tattoo shops do according to the regulation?A. Refuse to serve the minors.B. Offer quality service for teenagers.C. Ask the minors’ parents for advice.D. Keep the minors safe while tattooing.13、What does paragraph 4 tell us about tattoo?A. Tattooing has a long history in China.B. The society has been influenced by tattooing.C. Young people are more interested in tattooing.D. Tattooing helps people do their work better.14、Which of the following might Amanla agree with?A. Tattoos are not for everyone.B. Tattooing for minors must be punished.C. We should learn about tattoos before getting one.D. It is not easy for the regulation to be put into practice.15、What can be inferred about the guideline?A. Those who break the rules will be punished.B. It has got wide recognition among the public.C. Educators play a key role in carrying out the rules.D. It is a long way for the guideline to make a difference.二、七选五16、When I was young, I was a terribly shy girl in regular classes.

Passage 1Americans spend a lot of time and money on physical activities ranging form bowling to skiing. The object of these activities is not only enjoyment. Doctors have found that vigorous exercise keeps people feeling healthier and looking better. So Americans are working at maintaining or recapturing their youth and vigor.In the spring and summer, neighborhood teams organized into leagues compete in softball or baseball games. In the cooler weather, basketball is popular, indoors or outdoors. Boys and young men also play football, just for fun, without the formality of yard markers, goal posts, padding, and officials.Golf, one of the most popular participation sports, is played all year, except when the groundis covered with snow. Since it is a relatively mild form of athletics, it can be played by people of all ages. Doctors recommend highly it for exercise and often practice what they preach. Americans joke about not getting sick on Wednesday because all the doctors are out on the golf course. Although the only equipment needed for golf is a set of clubs, some balls and tees, the annual expenditure for golf equipment is more than $1 billion!Another popular sport is bowling. It is estimated that 67 million people bowl in the United States. Many bowling leagues are formed by coworkers or members of organizations such as churches or charitable groups. Bowling is another game that is not too strenuous and can be played with a minimum investment in equipment.6. The aim of American’s physi cal activities is _____.A. enjoymentB. healthC. moneyD. both A and B7. What kind of activity is popular in the cooler weather?A. softballB. baseballC. basketballD. football8. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Americans try hard to keep healthy and young.B. Golf is played all year in America.C. Many young people in America play football just for fun.D. There are bowling leagues in America formed by colleagues.9. The word “mild” in the 3rd paragraph mean?A. expensiveB. popularC. gentleD. fierce10. Americans joke about not getting sick on Wednesday because _____.A. Wednesday is a day full of bad fortuneB. Americans don’t like WednesdayC. all the doctors are not available on WednesdayD. golf is played by people of all agesPassage 2The greatest work-related stress is sudden, unexpected loss of a job. Research on unemployment since the 1930s (concentrating almost entirely on men) has linked it to mental and physical illness and to problems in family functioning.When people are unemployed, two major sources of stress are the loss of income (with its financial hardships) and the effect of this loss on their feelings about themselves. Workers who derive their identity from their work, men who define manhood as supporting a family, and people who define their worth in terms of their work’s dollar value lose more than their paychecks when they lose their jobs. They lose the peace with themselves and their self-esteem.The ability to cope with unemployment depends on various factors. Those who cope best have some financial resources to draw on – savings, the earnings of other family members, and so on. They do not blame themselves for losing their jobs or see themselves as failures but assess their situation in more objective terms. They have the support of understanding, adaptable families and can draw on outside resources, like friends.Women are as likely as man to feel distressed over loss of a job, as was shown by a study of former employees of a plant in Indiana that closed in 1982. Both the women and the men who had lost their jobs reported such physical ailments as headaches, stomach trouble, and high bloodpressure and felt less in control of their lives. The women’s respon ses confirm another study, which found that a woman’s sense of pride and power is more strongly related to her paid work than to her personal life.A crucial factor in adjustment to losing a job is the context in which a person sees the situation. People who can look at such a forced change as an opportunity to do something else or as a challenge for growth can develop emotionally and professionally. They may change not only jobs but the entire direction of their careers.11. What kind of people will not lose more than their paychecks when they lose their jobs?A. Workers who derive their identity from their work.B. Men who define manhood as supporting a family.C. People with low self-esteem.D. People who define their worth in terms of their work’s d ollar value.12. What problems have been caused by unemployment?A. financial hardshipsB. mental and physical illnessC. problems in family functioningD. all of the above13. The best way to cope with unemployment is _____.A. to draw on financial resources from othersB. to blame themselves for the failureC. to see it as a challenge for developmentD. to change the entire direction of their careers14. Which of the following statements is true?A. Women suffer as much as men when they lose their jobs.B. A woman’s sense of pride is stronger to her personal life than to her paid work.C. Almost every person sees himself as a failure when they lose a job.D. An important factor for one to adjust to unemployment is what expectation he has onhimself.15. The main topic of the passage is _____.A. Stress in workB. Difference between men and womenC. UnemploymentD.
