As Skolnick not

28、es, Americans are a marrying people: relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context：some 80 percent

29、of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society. What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty five years ago, the typical American family consisted of a husband, a wife, and two or three ch

30、ildren. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes previous marriage, or the husbands, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the for

31、mer marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses (配偶 ). Thus, one can find every type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with “full-time“ children from both the present and former marria

32、ges; marriages with “full-time“ children from the present marriage and “part-time“ children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half brothers, and half sisters. It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are enormous changes from

33、the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, there remains one constant; most Americans spend most of their adult lives married. 31 By calling Americans marrying people the author means that_. （ A） Americans are more traditional than Europeans （ B） Americans expect mor

34、e out of marriage than Europeans （ C） there are more married couples in USA than in Europe （ D） more of Americans, as compared with Europeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age 32 Divorced Americans_. （ A） will most likely remarry （ B） prefer the way they live （ C） have lost faith

35、in marriage （ D） are the vast majority of people in the society 33 Which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays American families? （ A） A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife. （ B） Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable. （ C） Am

36、ericans prefer to have more kids than before. （ D） There are no nuclear families any more. 34 “Part-time“ children_. （ A） spend some of their time with their half brothers and some of their time with their half sisters （ B） spend all of their time with one parent from the previous marriage （ C） are

37、shared between the two former spouses （ D） cannot stay with “full-time“ children 35 Even though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families, _. （ A） the functions of marriage remain unchanged （ B） the vast majority of Americans still have faith in marriage （ C） most American

38、s prefer a second marriage （ D） all of the above 35 Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of su

39、ms needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in excha

40、nge for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to th

41、e company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest (投资 ) his money. Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, road

42、s, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries

43、therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange. There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new developmen

44、t. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance. 36 Almost all companies involved in new production and development must_. （ A） rely on their own financial r

45、esources （ B） persuade the banks to provide long-term finance （ C） borrow large sums of money from friendly people they know （ D） depend on the population as a whole for finance 37 The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is_. （ A） repaid to its original owners as soon

46、 as possible （ B） raised by the selling of shares in the companies （ C） exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange （ D） invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange 38 When the savers want their money back, they_. （ A） ask another company to obtain their money for them （ B） look for

47、 other people to borrow money from （ C） put their shares in the company back on the market （ D） transfer their money to a more successful company 39 All the essential services on which we depend are_. （ A） run by the Government or our local authorities （ B） financed wholly by rates and taxes （ C） un

48、able to provide for the needs of the population （ D） in constant need of financial support 40 The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries_. （ A） to borrow as much money as they wish （ B） to make certain everybody saves money （ C） to raise mo

49、ney to finance new developments （ D） to make certain everybody lends money to them 40 The social sciences, as the name shows, are the scientific study of the behavior of human beings, both in groups and individually. There is no past or present information of human beings who were not in groups. The groups may be small, like the family, or large, like a city or nation. But in order to reach c
