正确答案是：approximately二、阅读理解：选择题（每题10分）Most couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan to have children. Several years ago, people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantage. That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the family. But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year, having a big family is no longer considered to be a practical option. In fact, more couples consider that they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all. According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years, were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%). However, taken together, women were still more likely to have had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%).In recent years, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children – a trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). These days, most families in Australia have two children. But the number of women whohad given birth to a single child increased progressively from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006. The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America today. This comprises 20% of the children's population compared to only 10% around fifty years ago.操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。

本题询问“几年前，人们认为拥有大家庭？”，第一段第二句话告诉读者“人们认为有个大家庭，很常见，而且大家庭也被认为是个优势”，所以选C。

2. 这是一道细节判断题。

第二段第一句话意为“而综合来看，妇女仍然有可能要三个或更多个孩子而不是要两个孩子（其比例为46% vs. 36%）”，此句表明有可能要多个孩子，所以选B。

3. 这是一道细节判断题。

本题询问“近年来，妇女有可能要多少个孩子？”，第三段第一句话告诉读者妇女更有可能要2个而不是3个或更多个孩子，所以选C。

4. 这是一道推断题。

按照短文内容，我们可以了解到现今澳大利亚大部分家庭拥有2个孩子，而要1个孩子妇女数量（increased progressively）逐渐增加，所以我们推断将来拥有1个孩子的家庭会显著增多，所以选B5. 这是一道主旨大意题。

通读全文可知，文章讲过去有个大家庭（多生孩子），很常见，而且大家庭也被认为是个优势。

但近几年来，由于生活成本逐年增长，拥有大家庭已不再是一个现实的选择，妇女愿意要3个或更多个孩子的越来越少。

而如今澳大利亚大部分家庭拥有2个孩子，要1个孩子的家庭逐年递增。

所以选A。

As for the same offenses, the court would consider an adult as a “criminal”. “Status offenders”are juveniles who commit offenses appropriate only to juveniles, such as truancy from school. Here are a few ideas to help prevent your children from being a delinquent. Keep your children in school to help prevent delinquency. Minor offenses, such as truancy, can lead to more serious offenses. Make clear to your children your expectations about their school attendance. Meet with school officials if necessary. Exercise adequate supervision. Juveniles rarely commit serious offenses while under the supervision of an adult. Seek the assistance of your local service agencies if you feel you cannot control your children. Attend parenting classes, or join a local support group if you are having trouble understanding how to exercise discipline. Educate your children about the dangers of drugs. Drug offenses and addiction can have serious consequences for your children. Let your children know you will not tolerate drug use. Stay informed about drug use trends in children. Get your children involved in after-school recreational activities, sports, community service or other positive activities. Young people with positive outlets for their energy are more likely to do well in school and avoid the problems of delinquency. Know who your children's friends are. Show an interest in your children's social life and peer groups. Peer pressure may have a bad effect on teenagers and young people. Do not allow your children to associate with juvenile delinquents.子问题1：F; 子问题2：F; 子问题3：T; 子问题4：T; 子问题5：T单元自测5二、翻译子问题1：B; 子问题2：C; 子问题3：A; 子问题4：C; 子问题5：A单元自测6题目为随机，用查找功能（Ctrl+F）搜索题目二、阅读理解：选择题There are a number of reasons __ 回答 __.
