And in different countries it has different meanings. Butwhen British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of familyin itsnarrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own houseas an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in-dependent starting ones own life. The mans first duty willthen be to his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibilityand their alone. Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts oruncles, have any right to interfere with them-they are their own masters.Readers of novels likeJane Austens Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the parents duty tofind a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement tolead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected andmaintained in the parents home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in theirgiving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before theirmarriage. This has had two results. A girl thing for all of thegirls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate(部下，下级) oftheir parents and husbands.What does the author mean by Family is of course an elastic word?A.Different families have different ways of life.B.Different definitions could be given to the word.C.Different nations have different families.D.Different times produce different families.47、 For an English family, the husbands duty is_A.supporting the family while the wife is working outB.defending the family while the wife is running the homeC.providing financial support while the wife is running the homeD.independent while his wife is also independent48、 Everything is decided in a family_A.by the coupleB.with the help of their parentsC.by brothers and sistersD.with the help of aunts and uncles49、 What is TRUE conceming the book Pride and Prejudice?A.It is the best book on marriage.B.It is a handbook on marriage.C.It gives some idea of English social life in the past.D.It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.50、 With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in_A.the right family B.more parental supportC.choosing husbands D.social position51、根据资料，回答51-65题：You must have been troubled by when to say I love you because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.What if you say it first and your partner doesn t love you back? Or if they do say it but you dont feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal, says psychologist Sidney Crown. But love is seldom equal. All relationships go through power struggles but, he says ,if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. That feeling of I ve always loved you more may be subverted(颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says I love you first may also be the one who says I m bored with you first. Hall believes that much depends on how I love you is said and the motivation of the person saying it.Is it said when they re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is Please don t be unfaithful to me ? By saying I love you ,they really say Do you love me? If so, wouldn t it just be more honest to say that? Collins agrees that intention is everything.It s not what is said, but how it s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. What is the main idea of this passage?A.The importance of I love youB.The meaning of I love youC.The time of saying I love youD.The place of saying I love you52、 In the first sentence the author means that_.A.it is easy to say I love youB.it is hard to say I love youC.we have many troubles in our lifeD.people usually do not know when to say I love you53、 According to the expert, a good relationship should be_.A.fair and equal B.fair and kindC.powerful and equal D.confident and fair54、 In the third paragraph, the phrase with the upper hand means_.A.being low in spirit B.having only one handC.being active D.being passive55、 What is the most important for you to consider when somebody says I love you to you?A.The intention. B.The place.C.The time. D.The determination.56、根据材料,回答56-70题:Technology has been an encouragement of historical change. It acted as such a force in Eng-land beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth.Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods,which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes was that other forms of energy havetaken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufac-ture products in less time.People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: each nail wasexactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. Thismeans that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking productiondown into smaller and smaller tasks.Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. In-stead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parts in cer-tain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by todays standards. Highlyskilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production al-lowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand.But the skilled worker wasnt the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forcedfarmers away. The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers fromploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidlydeveloping industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longerowned their own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer pos-sible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans atgreatly reduced cost.In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods?A.Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.B.The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.C.The increased use of machines to make products in less time.D.The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.57、 The underlined word this in the first paragraph refers to _A.the use of scientific findingsB.the practice of producing the same parts for a productC.the human power being replaced by other forms of energyD.the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change58、 The underlined word this in the second paragraph refers to the change that _A.each nail could be taken the place of by every other nailB.each nail was exactly like every other nailC.producing tasks became smaller and smallerD.goods could be mass produced59、 According to the writer, highly skilled workers_A.completely disappeared with the coming of the factory systemB.were dismissed by the bossC.were unable to produce goods of high standardD.were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines60、 According to the passage, what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?A.Many of them had to leave their farmland for industrial centers.B.They stuck to their farm work.C.They refused to use machines.D.They did their best to leam how to use the machines.SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes)61、根据下列材料，请回答61-65题：Paula:The furore is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the fu-ture begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future-that the future is not somethingimposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future boththrough what we do and what we do not do.Mrs. John:The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict theirperformance from the strength of the brains electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that thestrength of the brains electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses couldmeasure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard,or too tired to do the job properly.Mary:In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart issaid to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical ge-latin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the ap-petite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin.Judy:In the future our life w
