Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 In a family where the rol

30、es of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or less extent, notions of making superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the

31、 growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of sexes“. If the process goes too far and mans role is regarded as less important, and that has happe

32、ned in some cases we are as badly as before, only in reverse. It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism“, but we dont want to exchange it for a “neo- Popism“. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves

33、 a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credits nor all the blame. We have almost given up saying that a wo

34、mans place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze mans place in the home mid to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because eac

35、h family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the idem of equal rights and equal responsibilities is critical to a healthy family. 46 Sharing tasks and decisions in a family leads to

36、 _. （ A） superiority （ B） new notions about family （ C） inequality （ D） equality among the family members 47 In a family where men and women share tasks and decisions, the children will _. （ A） believe that life is a “battle of sexes“ （ B） accept the idea of equality more readily than their parents

37、（ C） prepare more fully for participation in a competitive world （ D） insist that man has a place in the home 48 According to the author, the bringing up of the children _. （ A） should be the task of both the husband and wife （ B） is only dependent on the women （ C） is irrelevant to the healthy deve

38、lopment of the child （ D） is hard to define 49 Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and specialists on family issue _. （ A） are paying increasing attention to mans place in the home （ B） suggest that we exchange “Momism“ for a “neo- popism“ （ C） women should receive all the credits and blame

39、s （ D） men should receive all the credits and blames 50 Mans place in the family is important _. （ A） for the equal rights and equal responsibilities of all family members （ B） is related to a healthy family as well as healthy democracy （ C） related to neither a healthy democracy nor a healthy famil

40、y （ D） to the healthy development of the children 50 Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand what he wants to teach

41、them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countle

42、ss billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and f

43、rom human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they

44、 do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a broken leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizin

45、g something . all of which mean that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 51 What all artists in common is that _. （ A） they use shapes and colors instead of words （ B） they want the public to understand them and get something from their works （ C） they want to show the public so

46、mething that is difficult to explain （ D） they want to learn from the public 52 A painter chooses certain shapes and colors out of the countless billions because he believes they （ A） are easy to make out （ B） can bring delight to him （ C） are worth showing to the public （ D） are particular 53 Accor

47、ding to the author, even contemporary artists might choose subjects that only provide an interesting pattern （ A） without reference to the character of their subjects （ B） there is still something in them （ C） that there is no meaning in it （ D） partly for the meaning of the subjects 54 Comparing th

48、e painter who paints a broken leg with the one who paints a lake in moon light, we can draw the conclusion that （ A） both convey the same meaning （ B） both try to show us something and tell us something （ C） the latter is more meaningful （ D） the former is more meaningful 55 According to the passage

49、, it is true to say that _. （ A） the public could share the artists feelings through their choice of artistic creation sub-jects （ B） the painter should not choose to paint ugly things （ C） contemporary artists are completely different from other artists （ D） all artists are teaching the public consciously 55 If you live in a large city, you are quite familiar with some of the problems of noise, but, because of some of it
