her mother. expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite tv talk show on his first day off in months. “this will be quite easy, just like a walk in the park,” hed told his wife. “ill look after the kids well, and you can go to visit your mom.” things started well, but just after eight oclock, his three little “good kids”mike, randy, and alexcame down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” when food had not appeared within thirty seconds, randy began using his spoon on alexs head as if it were a drum. alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat. mike chanted (咏唱) “wheres my toast, wheres my toast” in the background. brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds. life became worse after breakfast. mike wore randys underwear on his head. randy locked himself in the bathroom, while alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. nobody could find clean socks, although they were just before their eyes. someone named “not me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. brad knew the talk show had already started. by ten oclock, things were out of control. alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible. at exactly 11:17, brad called the daycare centre. “i suddenly have to go into work and my wife is away. can i bring the boys over in a few minutes?” the answer was obviously “yes” because brad was smiling. 1. when his wife left home, brad expected to _.a. go out for a walk in the park b. watch tv talk show with his children c. read the newspaper to his

who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. sociologist michael lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. they found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. but as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. that can have an important effect on the children. “in general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens iq scores,” lewis says. “and the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”the study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “middle children are invisible,” says lewis. “when you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” there is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “when the tv is on,” lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”9. the writers purpose in writing the text is to _. a. show the relationship between parents and children b. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table c. report on the findings of a study d. give information about family problems10. parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _. a. they are busy serving food to their children b. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table c. they have to pay more attention to younger children d. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family11. by saying “middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, lewis means that middle children _. a. have to help their parents to serve dinner b. get the least attention from the family c. are often kept away from the dinner table d. find it hard to keep up with other children12. lewis research provides an answer to the question_. a. why tv is important in family life b. why parents should keep good order c. why children in small families seem to be quieter d. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life dthe united states government has decided that food from cloned(克隆) cattle, pigs and goats is safe to eat. the food and drug administration also says it found no risks in meat and milk from cloned animals. the f.d.a. looked at studies for several years before it announced its decision in a final report this month. the united states department of agriculture supported the findings. but it says time is needed to clear the way for marketing meat and milk from clones. the f.d.a. will not require any product to be registered(注册) as coming from clones. a producer would need to label a product “clone-free”. the agency says that could be misunderstood because the food is not different from other food.but activists argue that the f.d.a. based its decision on incomplete research into possible risks. the center for food safety criticized the use of studies supplied by cloning companies. animal rights activists point out that cloning attempts often fail. they say cloning is cruel and can lead to suffering.congress (国会) has been trying to get the f.d.a. to do more studies. but the agency noted that experts in new zealand and the european union had come to the same findings about the safety of food from clones. japan, south korea and taiwan say they want to study it further before taking action. products from cloning may not be widely used for several years. clones cost much , which is why they are not widely used for feeding. the agriculture department says few clones will ever become food. their traditionally raised animals would enter the food supply instead. 13. what is the best title for this passage?a. is food from cloned animals safe? b. a new clone policy c. a big danger cloned food d. cloned products a terrible choice14. why are products from cloning not widely used for feeding? a. because cloning attempts often fail. b. because they are not safe to eat. c. because cloning is cruel. d. because they are expensive. 15. where can you probably see the passage? a. in a novel. b. in a newspaper. c. in a travel leaflet. d. in a notice on the wall.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分， 满分10分）
