18、 for more than a year and a half. TheCarsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after
19、their children. Judy s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱)Judy s children. They often sent the children presents. Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come a
20、nd live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed
21、for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no need for me to move, for they hadn t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “ Naturally I m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health. “ She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, A
22、ndrew and my mother have never got on well. We 11 wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds. “ That was six months ago. During this time I ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got
23、worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she s still living alone and I m still living in the basement room.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?（分数：2.00）A.He is a brother of Andrew CarsonB.He is a close friend o

28、mes and the AgedOverhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous. The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossing
29、s. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing , traffic is
30、held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time. The government ofBeijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of ris
31、king their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic. Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and youn
32、g, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?（分数：2.00）A.They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same timeB.Pedestrians can climb up and have
33、a view of the cityC.Taller trucks can pass under themD.They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians(2).Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?（分数：2.00）A.Because they save money for the governmentB.Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the roadC.Because they prevent
34、 traffic from being held upD.Because they save time for the pedestrians(3).Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavyB.Overhead bridges are only found in the centre ofBeijingC.Overhead bridges are found in
35、 many parts of big cities inChinaD.Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing(4).The underlined part “ a zebra crossing “ probably means_（分数：2.00）A.a safe place across a road forolder people to rest inB.a wild animal fromAfrica that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes
36、 on its bodyC.a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD.a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road(5).What is the writer s attitude towards overhead bridges?（分数：2.00）A.It is inconvenientfor older people to walk across the roadB.To build overhead bridges i
37、s the business of the governmentC.An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossingD.It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficultThere was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and o
38、ffer her his seat. No more, though. Today, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off. You can t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when w
39、omen could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men: not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and youre likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人)unable to
40、 open door for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she 11 probably insist on paying her share of the bill: though on second thoughts perhaps that s not such a bad idea. It s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show to
41、wards women. On the other hand, automatic male(men)politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings. Maybe that s worth standing in the bus or train.（分数：10.00）(1).Today, when a lady gets on a crowded bus or trai
42、n, a gentleman would probably_.（分数：2.00）A.stand up and offer her his seatB.read his newspaperC.look out of the windowD.not stand up and offer her his seat(2).What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train is_ .（分数：2.00）A.really badB.strange enoughC.not entirely wrongD.entirely wrong(3).The new
43、generation of women wants to be _.（分数：2.00）A.treated not as the weaker sexB.treated as the weaker sexC.cared for on buses and trainsD.better treated than before(4).According to the passage, which of the following isNOT correct?（分数：2.00）A.Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B.Girls
44、 dont want you to pay for meal at all.C.Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.D.A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.(5).Fromthis passage, we know that_.（分数：2.00）A.women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB.men have given
45、up some politeness they used to show to womenC.women often get angry if you re polite to themD.women should stand in the bus or train“Family“ is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly
46、European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage
47、means leaving one s parents and starting ones own life. The man s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alon
48、e. Neither the wife s parents nor the husband s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them they are their own masters. Readers of novels like Jane Austen sPride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl s parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the par
