Each part in a new car is as weak as a baby. So a new car requires pr

28、oper care and servicing. If you“re unfamiliar with the parts, you have to read through the owner“s instructions carefully. First of all, the brakes (刹车) of your car are important for safety reasons. Having them checked regularly can reduce the risks of accidents. Another important thing to consider

29、is engine care. Always remember that the life and performance of your car engine depend on the engine oil. Replace the engine oil when recommended. If you feel the engine is very hot especially during summer it is probably because the cooling system doesn“t work well. You“d better get the cooling sy

30、stem serviced before the start of summer. In a word, timely and proper servicing is an important task for car owners. Good servicing can not only extend the life of your newborn baby, but also ensure your safety, and the safety of those who share the road with you.（分数：10.00）(1).To get familiar with

At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the i

35、mportant thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time agoso much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather tha

36、n giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in

37、 view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say

38、that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the U. S. elementary education is supposed to make children _.（分数：2.00）A.sensib

40、ive ideasD.schools give little actual instruction to children(3).The author“s attitude towards American education can be best described as _.（分数：2.00）A.favorableB.negativeC.tolerantD.unfriendly(4).The American educational system emphasizes _.（分数：2.00）A.material wealthB.competitionC.cooperationD.pers

41、onal benefit(5).The word “sociable“ (Paragraph 2) most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.fond of talking freelyB.friendly with other peopleC.concerned about social welfareD.happy at school八、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman m

42、arrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four of five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would

43、 expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for them to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman“s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is li

44、kely to take paid work until sixty. This important change in women“s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women“s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned

45、to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a ne

46、w relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.（分数：10.00）(1).We are told that in a family about 1900 _.（分数：2.00）A.few children died before they were fiveB.seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC.the youngest child wou

48、ly duties when she reaches sixty(3).Many girls are now likely to _.（分数：2.00）A.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB.leave school as soon as they canC.marry so that they can get a jobD.continue working until they are going to have a baby(4).According to the passage, it is now quite usua
