However, the appearance of the full-time “househusband” is changing traditional family. A survey in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen shows that 22 percent, 73 percent, 34 percent and 32 percent of white-collar male workers, aged between 28 and 33, would be prepared to do the housekeeping if the conditions were right. Yang Wenhui, 32 years old, worked at the office of a company prefer to quit(离开) the job. “My job was dull and steady. I was not promoted(提拔). My wife, in contrast, really likes her job. So, after our baby was born, I chose to stay at home and take care of the family while my wife works full-time outside the home,” said Yang. Sociologists have found the full-time househusband emerges in three main situations. Firstly, if the wife is ambitious(有雄心的), well-paid and has good job prospects, while her husband is paid poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner for the household. Secondly, if the wife is tired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her husband may forfeit his job. Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this choice as it allows him more time to take care of the family. Influenced by traditional ideas, some families with full-time househusbands prefer others not to know about their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husband with “no prospects” or wife who is “too strong”. Zhou Wei said he has become usual to being a full-time househusband although his relatives doubted this when they gathered during the holidays. “A happy life is the most important thing, not other peoples opinions,” added Zhou.45. The reason for Yang Wenhui quitting his job is that _.A. it is too difficult for him to do it B. it is too boring for him to do it C. he is too old to go on doing it D. his wife wanted him to quit it46. In which situation is a man unlikely to become a full-time househusband?A. He can earn enough money to keep family and has a good job prospects. B. He can earn much less than his wife and will never get promoted.C. His wife hates housework and is busy with her work outside. D. His job can be done at home and he would like stay at home. 47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. A full-time househusband is a man without prospects in life.B. A full-time househusband is much weaker than his wife.C. A full-time househusband is willing to share his experience with his relatives.D. A full-time househusband can also enjoy happiness from housework. 48.

It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce（罕见的；稀少的） and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of teaUntil then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was addedShe found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four oclock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.53This passage mainly discusses_.Athe history of tea drinking in Britain Bhow tea became a popular drink in BritainChow the Britons got the habit of drinking tea Dhow tea-time was born54Tea became a popular drink in Britain.Ain eighteenth century Bin sixteenth centuryCin seventeenth century Din the late seventeenth century55We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of_.Aa famous French lady Bthe ancient ChineseCthe upper social class Dpeople in Holland四、单词拼写（每题0.5分，满分5分）56.
