23、，分数：10.00)“Family“ is of course an elastic word. And in different countries it has different meanings. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in thei
24、r own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent familyhence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both man and woman, marriage means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life. The mans first duty wil
25、l then be to his wife, and the wifes 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 their alone. Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their brothers or sisters, aunt
26、s or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for the
27、ir 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 parents home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pa
28、ir a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. Every coin has two sides; independence fo
29、r girls is no exception. But it may be a good thing for all of the girls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate (部下，下级) of their parents and husbands.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word“?A. Different families have di
30、fferent ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D.

35、ld.As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join in his sighted brothers as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the us
36、ually disabled are so dependent.Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy
37、 harmonica (口琴), and listened to the radio.Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir (唱诗班) and a lead singer. In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie

45、ly to human survival. Marine fisheries contribute more to the worlds supply of protein than beef, poultry or any other animal source.Fishing typically does not need land ownership, and because it remains, generally, open to all, it is often the employer of last resort in the developing worldan occup
46、ation when there are no other choices. Worldwide, about 200 million people rely on fishing for their livelihoods. Within Southeast Asia alone, over five million people fish full-time. In northern Chile forty percent of the population lives off the ocean. In Newfoundland most employment came from fis
47、hing or servicing that industryuntil the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early l990s that left tens of thousands of people out of work.Though debates over the conservation of natural resources are often cast as a conflict between jobs and the environment, the restoration of fish populations wou
48、ld in fact boost employment. Michael P. Sissenwine and Andrew A. Rosenberg of the U. S. National Marine Fisheries Service have estimated that if depleted species were allowed to rebuild to their long-term potential, their sustainable use would add about $8 billion to the U. S. gross domestic product
49、-and provide about 300,000 jobs. If fish populations were restored and properly managed, about twenty million metric tons could be added to the worlds annual catch. But restoration of ecological balance, fiscal profitability (收 益) and economic security will require a continual reduction in the capacity of the commercial fishing industry so that wild populations can recover.The necessary reductions in fishing workforce need not come at the expense of jobs. Governments could increase employment and reduce the pres
