Passage 1 By now, people.s definition of what makes a family has changed. In a 1989 poll sponsored by the Massachusetts Mutual Insurance Company, three-quarters of the people rejected traditional definitions based on two parents and their children living together. Instead, they defined a family as "a group of people who love and care for one another". This changing attitude was reflected in American society, where families were extremely varied. Ten times more adults lived alone in 1990 than had in 1900. Though most people still married, more couples chose not to have children. Many more marriages ended in divorce, leaving many families headed by a single parent. Some parents never married, and the stigma attached to children born "out of wedlock (已婚状态)" had almost disappeared. There were blended families, formed when two single parents remarried and together raised children from earlier marriages. There were families in which the partners were homosexuals. There were also more marriages between partners of different races. The physical surroundings of families have changed as well. In 1900, 60 percent of all Americans lived in rural areas. By the end of the century, 75 percent lived in cities and suburbs. Homes have changed, too. The average single-family home built toward the end of the century had at least two stories, three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and a garage. It was much bigger than houses built in the boom that followed World War II (1941 -1945). At the same time, more people lived in multi-family housing—apartment buildings and townhouses attached to others like them. 1. This passage is mainly about .

Passage 2 Schooling in the United States is the responsibility of the individual state and local governments. Since there are 50 states, there are many different approaches to education. However, all states require students to attend school until they are at least 16 years old. Almost 90% of American children attend public school, which is free. Some attend preschool, which is generally privately run. Children start elementary school when they are 5 years old and continue until they are 12. Junior high school lasts for three years and senior high school for another three years. Well-off families may send their children to private schools, which charge tuition. Some public schools, particularly those in wealthy suburban neighborhoods, have modern computer equipment, well-stocked libraries and extensive recreation facilities. These schools offer many after-school activities. Students are encouraged to join sports teams, play in the school band, sing in the choir or join a chess club. Other public schools, however, are poorly equipped and offer few after-school activities. About 20% of American public schools are housed in buildings that are considered unsafe. Americans lead other industrial nations in the percentage of the population who receive higher education. In high school, students take the Scholastic (学术的) Aptitude Test (SAT); universities admit students based on their SAT marks. There are more than 3 000 colleges and universities in the United States. They include small liberal-arts colleges, junior colleges, large state universities, Ivy League (older, more prestigious) universities, Christian colleges, black colleges, military academies and all-women.s colleges. Some are private; others are funded by individual states. Many of these universities are also important centers for research and scholarship. (268 words) 6.

Passage 3 You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you km a great deal of Wood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you- If the blood is too different from your own. the transfusion could kill you. There are four basic types of blood: A, B. AB. and O. A simple test can indicate a person.s blood type, which, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents. Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB. but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group: hence, it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason. AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid). until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion. There is a relationship between your Wood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O. 11. A good title for this passage is . A. Getting Blood and Plasma B. Special Blood Types C. Human Blood Types D. The Blood Bank of a Hospital 12. The word "hence" in line 8 means . A. always B. often C. therefore D. seldom 13. In a blood transfusion, it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a person with the blood type of _________. A. A B. B C. AB D. O 14.The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow time A. to test the reactions to the transfusion B. for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient.s blood C. for the blood to be delivered from the blood bank D. to select a new type of blood for the patient 15. Most Europeans have blood type______. A. A B. B C. O D. A or O
Passage 4 The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem. Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers. reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one.s emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents: and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. 16. What is the author.s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention. B. To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers. C To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions. D. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving. 17. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because_____. A. automobiles have become most destructive to mankind B. people usually pay little attention to experts. research C. civilization brings much harm to people D. the lack of virtue is becoming more severe 18. Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph Three? A. To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents. B. To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy. C. To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers. D. To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving. 19. Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents? A. Careless bicycle-riders. B. Mindless people walking in the street. C. Irresponsible drivers. D. Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles. 20. Which of the following best reflects the author.s attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems? A. Doubtful yet still longing for. B. Happy and rather confident. C. Surprised and very pleased. D. Disappointed and deeply worried.
