Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break up of the fatally occurs when the parents divorce. A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care for the children's emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parent's own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship. The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs in licate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are. What problems would broken families bring to both children and parents? A Children grow up feeling unsettled and parents don't pay much attention to children. B Children grow up feeling free and one parent is responsible for raising children. C Children are moved back and forth between parents and the single parent is busy working to make money to support himself / herself. D Children grow up feeling unsettled, and the parents have little time for his/her own interests because one parent is too busy taking care of children. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 本题问破裂的家庭会给孩子和家长带来什么困难。本文清楚说明孩子们不安定，因为要往来于父母之间，孩子们的单亲父母得花更多的时间关心他们的心理、情绪，以致他们没时间去满足自己的兴趣。故选D。 第2题 To parents who take the responsibility for children's expenses, the cost of living increases because______. A children attend school for more years B children are better dressed C children spend more money on entertainment D all the above 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 回答此题要全面，仔细读文章不难发现，A孩子们读书时间延长；B孩子们穿着越来越好；C孩子们花更多的钱在娱乐上。问的是造成生活消费增长的原因，因此要选D。 第3题 The title of the article might be______. A American Children B American Families C American Mother D American Parents 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 纵观全篇，A项美国儿童；C项美国母亲；D项美国父母，三项均在文中提到过，但只是一个部分，都是B(美国家庭)这个主题下的各个分支。而且文章主要还是讲述美国家庭生活的种种，故B正确。 第4题 According to the author, the situations of American families in the future may______. A become worse B remain the same C get better D keep unchanged 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 在文章最后作者指出有迹象 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 明情况好转，诸如离婚率降低，出生率上升。也许美国人已认识到家庭生活的重要性，我们可以体会到作者对未来美国家庭生活情形是持乐观态度的，所以选C“变好”。 第5题 In the past, American families tended to be______. A quite small B medium sized C quite large D small 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 本文第一句话说明了过去美国家庭规模很大。 第6题    When Vice President Cheney spoke last year at Westminster College, its president, Fletcher Lamkin, expected a foreign policy address. Winston Churchill delivered his historic "Iron Curtain" speech there, and the school has hosted speeches by other foreign leaders.    To Lamkin's surprise, Cheney delivered a speech against Sen. John Kerry.    Lamkin, a retired Army brigadier general(准将) and the former dean of academics at West Point, felt he had been misled. He e-mailed the college community to express his disappointment and said that in the interest of balance, he would offer Kerry a chance to speak. Very quickly his email made its way to the national media, and Lamkin found himself in the middle of a coast-to-coast quarrel. Lamkin says he was portrayed as "another college president trying to liberalize his students, and another president who is trying to poison tile minds of students and turn them into flaming liberals."    Lamkin needed help in handling the criticism. So, like a growing number of administrators caught up in controversy, he turned to a specialist in crisis management for advice on how to explain his actions to the press and public in a clear and simple way.    There are no data on how often colleges use crisis managers, but those in the field say that in a world of emails, blogs and wall-to-wall news coverage, demand is increasing. Christopher Simpson, who assisted Lamkin, says a recent crisis conference he hosted drew representatives of 70 institutions, more than expected.    Earlier this year, the University of Colorado turned to Simpson for help. But his hiring led to a short-term controversy of its own, in large part because he is being paid ＄350 an hour. Typically, crisis consultants charge ＄2,500 to ＄3,500 a day. Simpson has since signed a＄150,000 one-year contract to assess the university's public relation needs and help improve its discolored image.    Not everyone is enthusiastic about crisis consultants. Linda Gray, assistant vice president at the University of Central Florida, says that "to a certain extent, the worse the crisis, the closer to home you should deal with it." Gray, who was in charge of public relations at the University of Florida when a serial killer murdered several students in 1990, says, "You ought to be dealing with the crisis, not explaining things to somebody else." Why is Lamkin criticized? A He embezzled the public fund. B He is regarded as a president who tries to poison his students. C He doesn't complete his work. D He is not loyal to his wife. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 见第三最后一句话 Lamkin says he was portrayed as "another college president trying to liberalize his students，and another president who is trying to poison the minds of students and turn them into flaming liberals．”他说他被人描绘成“对学生放任自流的校长，毒害学生，把他们变成狂热的自由主义者的校长”。 第7题 Who is Christopher Simpson? A The chief of the police station. B The president of the University of Central Florida. C The crisis consultant. D The lawyer. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 见第五段第二句话 Christopher Simpson，who assisted Lamkin…，帮助 Lamkin 的Simpson…还有第六段第二句话提到他是被雇用的，因此他是crisis consultant。 第8题 Where did Winston Churchill deliver his "Iron Curtain" speech? A In New York. B In Chicago. C At Oxford University. D At Westminster College. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 见第一段第二句话 Winston Churchill delivered his historic“Iron Curtain”speech there 丘吉尔在那里发表了具有历史意义的“铁幕”演说。 第9题 What is the best title for the passage? A Cheney's Speech at Westminster University B President Lamkin's Troubles C The University of Central Florida D New Job in Colleges; Crisis Consultant 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 文章主要围绕危机顾问展开的。 第10题 What is the pay for crisis consultant per hour? A 300 ＄. B 350 ＄. C 400 ＄. D 450 ＄. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 见第六段第二句话 he is being paid ＄350 an hour 每小时350美金。 三、Writing（本大题2小题．每题15.0分，共30.0分。You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2． ） 第1题 Computer has made us lazy; Do you agree or disagree? Write an essay of about 120 words to present your own view.    In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement. In the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. 【正确答案】： 答案:    It is no surprise that now we can visit libraries and museums, go shopping, and talk face to face with friends far away--at a click of the mouse. So, have computers made us lazy? Definitely not.    As we know, science and technology arc to make our life easier, so as to save human efforts for the more creative and significant aspect of work. A computer is but a convenient tool devised to facilitate life, like washing machine, dish-washer, or remote control. Has telephone made us lazy by saving us the trouble to walk miles to talk to a friend? Have cars made us lazy not having to travel on foot? Science and technology make life easier and easier for people, but man himself, not machine, is the master of his destiny. 第2题 Write a letter of complaint. The company for which you work places an order for photographic paper and chemicals; however, the company which acknowledges your order on 15th March has delayed the delivery.    You should write approximately 100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter.Use" Atlantic Trade Corporation" instead. You do not need to write the address. 【正确答案】： Dear Sir,    There is probably a good reason why you haven't completed our order for photographic paper and chemicals. You acknowledged our order on 15th March, however, we have not yet received the order or any news regarding it, and wonder if it has been overlooked.     We have two reasons for wanting the materials ordered. Obviously, we want to apply them to the present urgent work. But just as important, we want you feel free to resell.

Match the topics (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.   Wang: According to the official report, swimming breaststroke (蛙泳) requires more energy and strength than any other styles. Before I became a competitive swimmer, I always felt that butterfly(蝶泳) required more energy than breaststroke. John: Why is that? Wang: Because the butterfly, or nicknamed" the fly" for short, is the newest swimming style, and perhaps is considered the most difficult style by most swimmers. However, it does not require as much strength and energy as that of the breaststroke. John: Are you sure? Wang: I am pretty sure. The butterfly style evolved from breastroke. It is the most difficult style to swim, but if it's done correctly, competitive butterfly swimming requires less energy than breaststroke. John: The butterfly is also known as the "dolphin" because the swimmer has to move both legs up and down together like a dolphin. It is so powerful and so graceful at the same time. Wang: But don't forget—butterfly is also very unforgiving to mistake. John: Why is it unforgiving? Wang: his said that it is difficult to overcome a bad butterfly style with brute (野蛮的)strength. Breaststroke, backstroke, and front crawl(爬泳) can be swum easily even if the technique is not perfect. John: I know butterfly is difficult to master, but I didn't realize that it was so unforgiving. Do you know what is involved in medley(混合泳)? Wang: A medley is a combination of four different swimming styles in one race. John: Four styles? What are the four styles? Wang: The four styles are swum in equal distance in this order: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. Freestyle here refers to any style other than backstroke, breast- stroke or butterfly. A medley can be swum as an IM... John: What is "IM "? Wang:" IM" refers to Individual Medley. A medley is either swum by one swimming as an IM which consists of a single swimmer doing four different strokes in one competition, or by four swimmers as a Medley Relay. John: Is it true that the Chinese believe that if an athlete earns a silver medal instead of a gold at the Olympics, it is considered to be a failure? Wang: Where did you get that idea? John: A U.S. sports commentator made a remark about a Chinese silver medalist's interview, and I came to that conclusion. Wang: As far as I am concerned, I think even the achievement of a broze medalist is tremendous. John: I agree.    Now match each of the topics (61～65 )to the appropriate statement.    Note: there are two extra statements. Statements [A] requires more energy than breastroke to a competitive swimmer. [B] requires more energy and strength than any other styles according to the official report. [C] is not necessarily considered to be a loser. [D] evolved from breaststroke. [E] Individual Medley [F] much more elegant than backstroke [G] any style other than backstroke, breast stroke or stroke or butterfly.

Everyone else I've met so far has been a tourist like us. I was beginning to think that maybe there were no natives. M: Well.

W: No. My score was only 49 percent. The woman who tested me was very strict about everything. M: Where did you lose the most points? W: One thing was not turning my head before changing lanes or making turns. M: Right. Using a turn signal isn't enough. To be safe, you have to glance back over your shoulder in the direction you want to go. W: My teacher didn't emphasize that enough, or about maintaining the right distance behind the car in front. M: That's right. You need a training distance of about one or two car lengths for every 10 miles per hour you've going. W: My parallel parking was good. I've been practising that a lot. M: What was your worst moment? W: Waiting on an unhill stop for, the light to change to green. M: What happened ?     W: Well, I let the car stall and forgot how to use the hand break.
