17、xts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.（分数：10.00）_The ordinary family in colonial North America was primarily concerned with sheer physical survival and beyond that, its own economic prosperity. Thus, children were valued in terms of their productivity, and they assumed t
18、he role of producer quite early. Until they fulfilled this role, their position in the structure of the family was one of subordination and their psychological needs and capacities received little consideration. As the society became more complex, the status of children in the family and in the soci
19、ety became more important. In the complex, technological society that the United States has become, each member must fulfill a number of personal and occupational roles and be in constant contact with a great many other members. Consequently, viewing children as potentially acceptable and necessaril
20、y multifaceted members of society means that they are regarded more as people in their own right than as utilitarian organisms. This acceptance of children as equal participants in the contemporary family is reflected in the variety of statutes protecting the rights of children and in the social and
21、 public welfare programs devoted exclusively to their well-being. This new view of children and the increasing contact between the members of society has also resulted in a surge of interest in child-rearing techniques. People today spend a considerable portion of their time conferring on the proper
22、 way to bring up children. It is now possible to influence the details of the socialization of another person s child by spreading the gospel of current and fashionable theories and methods of child rearing. The socialization of the contemporary child in the United States is a two-way transaction be
23、tween parent and child rather than a one-way, parent-to-child training program. As a consequence, socializing children and living with them over a long period time is for parents a mixture of pleasure, satisfaction, and problems.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following would be the best title for the pa
24、ssage?（分数：2.00）A.The Place of Children in United States SocietyB.The Children of Colonial North AmericaC.The Development of Cultural ValuesD.The Child as a Utilitarian Organism(2).According to the author, children in colonial North America were mainly valued for their（分数：2.00）A.academic achievements

26、he following is a possible cause of changes in the role of the child in the United States?（分数：2.00）A.An increase in technology.B.The growing complexity of the child s psychological needs.C.A decrease in the child s intellectual capacities.D.The growing number of single parent families.(5).According
27、to the passage, parents have become increasingly interested in_.（分数：2.00）A.their children s future occupationsB.having smaller familiesC.adoption programs for childless couplesD.child-rearing techniquesI am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we managed to convinc
28、e myself that if it weren t for my job 1 would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream? Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and
29、impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants o
30、f one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don t even say hello. Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage o
31、f knowing there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There s little possibility of
32、going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. Some people have found(or rather bought)a compromise between the country and the city; they have expressed their prefere
33、nce for the “quiet life“ by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behindthey are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilli
34、ng original inhabitants of the village. What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning“ to the locals as they pass by? Im keen on the idea, but you see there s my cat, Toby. Im not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean
35、, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.（分数：10.00）(1).We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author_.（分数：2.00）A.used to live in the countryB.used to work in the cityC.works in the cityD
36、.lives in the country(2).In the authors opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.a strong sense of fearB.lack of communicationC.housing conditionsD.a sense of isolation(3).The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPT（分数：2.

39、hich they spend it, are one of the areas where free choice and individuality can be expressed. The choice reflects personal taste, the way people see themselves and the fantasies they have about their lives, the restrictions on money a-vailable to them, the presence of others in the family with a cl
40、aim on that money, and the influence of current convention, cultivation, surroundings and locality. Shopping is an important human activity. Yet shoppers are faced with a confusing situation and a rapidly changing one. The confusion arises from the claims made by advertising, from inadequate informa
41、tion about new products, new materials , new places to shopa confusion enhanced by rising prices and a wider choice of goods than ever before. The search for the right purchase is based on ignorance of their own needs and ignorance of the product s fitness for those needs. When choosing any particul
42、ar item, there are several lines of communication which might provide some guidance. Yet none of these is entirely satisfactory. For example, you can ask a shop assistant initially. Even if you find one, she may quite generally not know the answers. She may be a schoolgirl with a Saturday job, or a
