In America, older people rarely live with their adult children. But in many other cultures children are expected to care【C1】 their aged parents. In some parts of Italy, the percentage of adult children who【C2】 with their parents【C3】 65 to 70%. In Thailand, too, children are expected to care for their elderly parents; few Thai elderly live【C4】 . What explains these differences in living arrangements【C5】 cultures？ Modernization theory【C6】 the extended family to low levels of economic development. In traditional societies, the elderly live with their children in large extended family units for economic reasons.【C7】 with modernization, children move to urban areas, leaving old people after in【C8】 rural areas. Yet modernization theory can't explain why such households were never common in America or England, or why families in fully modernized Italy【C9】 a strong tradition of intergenerational living. Clearly, economic development alone cannot explain【C10】 living arrangements.
Another theory associated intergenerational living arrangements with inheritance【C11】 . In some cultures, the stem family pattern of inheritance overtakes.【C12】 this system, parents live with a married child, usually the oldest son, who then【C13】 their property when they die. The stem family system was once common in Japan, but changes in inheritance laws,【C14】 broader social changes brought【C15】 by industrialization and urbanization, have【】 the usage. In 1960 about 80% of Japanese over【C16】 lived with their children; by 1990 only 60%【C17】 a figure that is still high【C18】 American standards, but which has been【C19】 steadily. In Korea, too, traditional living arrangements are【C20】 : the percentage of aged Koreans who live with a son declined from 77% in 1984 to 50 % just 10 years later.
【C1】
A．about
B．after
C．for
D．over

For some time, businessmen in America have used Ms before a woman's name when they do not know if the woman is married or not.
Today, however, many America women like to use Ms better than Mrs. and Miss. The word Mr. does not tell us if a man is married or not. Many women think this is an advantage for men. They want to be equal to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know if they are married or not.
There are some problems with Ms, however. Not all women like to use Ms. Some like the older ways of doing things. Some find it difficult to pronounce. But young women usually like it better than older ones do. Perhaps Ms will be used by more American women before long.
1)、The word Ms is used before the name of married or unmarried women.
A.T
B.F
2)、Many women in America like to use Ms because they don't want people to know that they are not married.
A.T
B.F
3)、The words Mrs. and Miss are different from Ms in that they can tell people if a woman is married or not.
A.T
B.F
4)、Men don't want to tell people that they are married.
A.T
B.F
5)、In the last paragraph, "Some like the older ways of doing things." "Older ways of doing things" in this sentence most probably means using Mrs. or Miss.
A.T

完型填空It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first __1__ to introduce equal pay for equal work. Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the __2__; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid for in this __3__ is called piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into __4__. This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the __5__ and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough.

We often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways.
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language.So does laughter or crying .Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world.In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like ？he went pale and began to tremble' suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.However, ？he opened his eyes wide' is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise.In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like ？they stretched out their tongues! ―’Stretching out your tongue ‖in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings.Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people'faces.Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.

第6题

The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about7 Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay7 Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home？ No one knows what to expect.
The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britain's overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen.
But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are overstocked with food net only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.
Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend.
The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generations have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60 per cent by 1956; but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion program is not working very well.
Why is there "wide-spread uneasiness and confusion" about the food situation in Britain？
A．Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising.
B．The abundant food supply is not expected to last.
C．Britain will cut back on its production of food.
D．Britain is importing less food.
