their families. thanksgiving is a family time. on this holiday, families enjoy being together. what does “family” mean to americans?the traditional american family is a nuclear family. a nuclear family refers to a husband and wife and their children. the average american family today has two or three children (and maybe a few pets). in some cultures, several generations may even live together. in america, only in a few cases does more than one household live under one roof. each family member can have a say. instead of fearing mom and dad, children may think of them as good friends. husbands and wives often share housework. in many cases, a child can enjoy privacy（隐私）in his or her own bedroom. from an early age, children can plan how to spend money. they may receive a weekly pocket money or even work part-time jobs. often parents give children freedom to make their own decisions about what to wear or to buy or whom to marry.the united nations has declared 1994 the international year of the family. not just in america, but all over the world, people recognize the importance of strong families. and one more thing: be thankful for each other. if you have a family, every day should be thanksgiving. 45.this passage is mainly about .a. thanksgiving bholiday cfamily dculture 46.what does a nuclear family include? a. father, mother and pets bseveral generations living together c. grandparents, parents and children dparents, children and pets47in america, children .aoften fear their parents. bcan decide whom to marry.care not allowed to have jobs.dcant receive pocket money until an elderly age.48that the international year of the family came into being show that .amore people have realized the importance of family.bmore people should have a family.cpeople all over the world should hold thanksgiving together.dpeople should thank each other on thanksgiving day.cit is natural that children are curious (好奇的) about the world around them. for example, they want to know how their hearts beat(跳). they want to know why the ocean water tastes salty. as children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. when they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. they become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. and when they are adults, their curiosity continues. sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯、职业) in science. scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the worldthose who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. a third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physics, chemistry. these scientists have already discovered a lot about our worldfor example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. they say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. the blood carries oxygen and nutrition. when you run, your muscles（肌肉）work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. the muscles need oxygen, too. so your brain sends a signal to the heart. the signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. it may beat 90 to 140 times a minute. of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. if we ask, “why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. when a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks（破裂）. rain falls into cracks. the rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. the rivers carry the salt into the ocean. but then we ask , “what happens to the salt in the ocean? the ocean does not get saltier every year.” scientists are not sure about the answer to this question. we know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious. 49scientists who work with the biological sciences study_.athe earth , the oceans and the sky bman-made thingscplants and animals docean water50when you run, your muscles need _.amore nutrition and oxygen bmore signals cmore salt dwater51a rock cracks _.ain wet regions bin dry regions cat very high or very low temperatures dwhen salty water falls in 52people are always curious because _. athey cannot explain many things bthey know nothing about the worldcthey know little about the world dthey want to be scientists d house to rent older house to rent in the city center. one bedroom and one kitchen. near important stations. buses pass back door. $ 475/mo. telephone: 3320178 (english news paper, march 19) english news paper needs a foreign editor. he / she must have worked in china for over two years. british nationality is necessary. the salary(薪水) is $ 100,000 a year. the term is three years. in ten days this piece of ad will be available(有效的). telephone: 4875362 address: no. 65 hexing road strongman shopping center 10, strongmanroad, singapore 2234 were open! opening hours: 10 am to 10 pm daily. celebrate with us! free balloons and nice door gifts for the first 1000 customers(顾客). come and join us at the new strongmanshopping center. discounts(折扣) of 20% at all shops. great shopping and eating that youve been waiting for. highlights at the entrance:(入口处的精彩节目) live magic show: 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm kids fashion show: 5:00 pm to 6:00 pmchoose the best answer according to the advertisements above.53. susan is looking for a house to rent. it doesnt matter how old and how expensive it is. shes going to study for her exams, so the house must be quiet. susan doesnt rent the house in the advertisement because _. a. its too old b. its too expensive c. its too small d. its too noisy54. if a british editor has worked in china for three years and comes to english news paper office to ask for the job in april, he will _. a. get the job b. not get the job c. be a good editor d. be not useful55. if you see a pair of shoes that costs $15 in the strongmanshopping center, youll pay _ at the discount a. $18 b. $15 c. $12 d. $3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.选项中有两项为多余项.请将56-60题答案涂在答题卡的71-75题上。when i walked into the house after school, the first thing i noticed was a box with items i recognized from my dads officewhen he told me that he was laid off, i thought he was jokingthen i noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truthmy father has always been a hard worker. he has prided himself on his career. 56i guess i had taken his work for granted.57 for starters, he was home all the timein meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after schooli would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs 58 he seemed down, though he tried to be optimistiche asked my brother and me to spend lessi gave up my spending money, which wasnt muchi also found a part-time job59 he explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own businessday by day, i watched him build it, on evening i asked if he needed help“only if it doesnt affect school,” he saidi showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months60 the terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficultiesnow i know that through creative problem-solving, i can always find plan b. i can ask for help and take riskswhat i have learned from my dads understanding of business and his work ethic（信条） are two of the most important lessons i will ever learn. and they will be my principles for successaproviding for our family has been his joybi made every effort to solve his problemsci began to notice how losing his job had affected himdmy fathers unemployment created many changes in our liveseafter months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different directionfhis courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career gi always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot第卷第一部分 语法填空 （共10道小题，每小题1。5分，共15分）how do you usually buy what you need, shopping on line or going out to shop in person?
