In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Usually, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other peoples children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.（1）Which of the following topics is discussed in the passage? A . The development of science and industry in America.B . The influence of science and industry on American families.C . Harmful effect of industrialization.D . Social problems resulting from the highly-developed science and industry in America.（2）What kinds of families are described in the passage? A . Families of the past and the present.B . Families of the present and the future.C . Families of the past and the future.D . Families of the past, the present and the future.（3）What is one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in America? A . Children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up.B . People stop caring for children.C . The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing.D . Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves.（4）What can you infer from the passage? A . Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split(破裂).B . Children do not live with their parents or grandparents.C . Large families can hardly survive in modern society.D . Americans are very choosy about their jobs.4. （3分）阅读理解 Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved all kinds of small animals, such as spiders, insects and butterflies and so on.One day while walking through the woods, the nice old man found a cocoon（茧） of a butterfly. He took it home.A few days later, a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to make its body out of that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared it could go no farther.Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then got out of the cocoon easily.But it had a swollen（肿胀的） body and small shriveled（枯萎的） wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge to be able to support the body, which would contract（收缩） in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.What the warm-hearted man in his kindness did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Natures way of forcing fluid（体液） from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any difficulties, it would be bad for us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.（1）How did the butterfly get out of the cocoon according to the passage? A . It got out of the cocoon by itself.B . The cocoon was broken.C . The old man helped it get out.D . Another butterfly helped it.（2）What does the underlined word struggle mean? A . Try very hard to.B . Have to.C . Have great difficulties to.D . Fight against.（3）When did the old man decide to help the butterfly? A . When the old man saw it.B . When the small opening appeared.C . As soon as the old man got home.D . After the butterfly struggled for several hours.（4）Where should the missing sentence It never was able to fly be put? A . Between Paragraph 3 and 4.B . Between Paragraph 4 and 5.C . Between Paragraph 5 and 6.D . Between Paragraph 6 and 7.（5）What can we learn from the story? A . We shouldnt help others.B . We cant get over difficulties.C . Difficulties are helpful in our life sometimes.D . Helping others is a good thing.5. （3分）阅读理解 The British government has started a 10 million Mandarin Excellence (普通话优秀) Program. The program will have helped over 5,000 British students to be fluent (流利的) in Mandarin Chinese by 2020. The program is led by local schools and supported (支持) by University College London. So far, 14 schools have taken part in the program. Hundreds of secondary school students in England have taken lessons in Mandarin Chinese. Over the next three years, they will spend eight hours studying Mandarin Chinese every week.Ned Miller is an officer of the British government. He said a high level of fluency in Mandarin Chinese would become more and more important. Language skills are important for jobs and life. Mandarin Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people in the world. It is also one of the languages that matters the most to our countrys future. If the United Kingdom wants to remain competitive in the world, we do need far more of our young people leaving school with a good command of Mandarin Chinese, Miller added. We hope that our young people could be given the chance to study the language. We want them to be fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin. The Mandarin Excellence Program will help us do this. It will not only open the students eyes, but also give them a great advantage when they enter the world of work.British kids, in fact, are not alone. In America, about 200,000 students are studying Mandarin Chinese. It is believed that 800,000 more will join them over the next couple of years.（1）_ British students will have been fluent in Mandarin Chinese through the program by 2020. A . 200,000B .
