Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 “Family“
26、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 European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British mar
27、riage 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 means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life. The mans first duty will then be to his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He wi
28、ll be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she is for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them-the
29、y 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 their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful e
30、ncouragement 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 pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very differen
31、t 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. 46 What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word“? （ A） Different families have
32、 different ways of life. （ B） Different definitions could be given to the word. （ C） Different nations have different ways of life. （ D） Different times produce different families. 47 For an English family, the husbands duty is_. （ A） supporting the family while the wife is financial （ B） defending
33、the family while the wife is running the home （ C） financial while the wife is running the home （ D） independent while the wife is dependent 48 Everything is decided in a family _. （ A） by the couple （ B） with the help of their parents （ C） by brothers and sisters （ D） with the help of aunts and unc
34、les 49 What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice? （ A） It is the best book on marriage. （ B） It is a handbook of marriage. （ C） It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past. （ D） It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families. 50 With regard to marriage i
35、n Britain, present day girls differ from former time girls in_. （ A） the right to marry （ B） more parental support （ C） choosing husbands （ D） social position 50 Scientists have been taking a closer look at the lighting in our homes, offices and vehicles, and theyre seeing a possible way to improve
36、health. Engineer E. Fred Schubert is talking about a new era of “smart“ light sources. “We are looking at lighting systems that provide more than lighting,“ he says. Hes talking about light-emitting diodes(二极管 ),or LEDs. Most people know them as being quite small, like the lights that form numbers o
37、n digital clocks. But recent technological advances have made them much more powerful, able to illuminate swimming pools and serve as traffic signals, for example. Meanwhile, the lighting in offices and schools could be improved to help people stay healthy and productive, by acting on their internal
38、 body clocks. The 24-hour internal body clock is best known for governing cycles of alertness and sleep, and for producing jet lag( 飞行时差 ) when people travel across time zones. Lights cues, especially blue light, help keep the clock on its daily cycle. Were pretty much blue-sky detectors. Our clocks
39、 count on bright days and dark nights. But thats not necessarily what modern life delivers. During the winter in the northeast of America, for example, a person can commute roundtrip in the dark and sit all day in electric light thats fine for vision, but may be too dim to stimulate the body clock.
40、Thats called biological darkness. How that affects people has been hard to document in the general population, but studies suggest such possibilities as seasonal depression, fatigue, sleep disturbances and maybe even cancer, especially breast cancer. Some studies suggest reduced productivity on the
41、job. To counter that, architects and lighting engineers might someday take body clocks into account when they design lighting schemes. They may be encouraged to take steps like providing plenty of natural Night through windows and skylights, and installing bright blue LEDs near computer screens to g
42、ive a dose of clock-adjusting light. 51 In the following places, where can we not find the LEDs? （ A） Digital clock. （ B） Traffic lights. （ C） Swimming pools. （ D） Cassette players speakers. 52 What does “smart“ lighting system mean? （ A） It can be turned off when you dont speak, and be turned on wh
43、en you speak. （ B） It can adjust to the internal clock of human beings. （ C） It can develop itself with time goes by. （ D） It can respond to human beings every demand. 53 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? （ A） The internal clock of us governs our cycles of alertness and s
44、leep. （ B） The internal clock of us can produce jet lag. （ C） Long time in the biological darkness is fine to Americans. （ D） During the winter in the northeast of America, a person can commute roundtrip in the dark. 54 Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “commute“ in Paragraph 5, Se
45、ntence 22 （ A） Travel long distance regularly by train, bus and so on. （ B） Speak and listen to others in communication. （ C） Exchange with others for what you dont have. （ D） Sleep or rest. 55 Which of the following measures is NOT encouraged from the human health perspective? （ A） Offer plenty of
46、natural light through windows and skylights. （ B） Install bright blue LEDs near computer screens. （ C） Offer plenty of electric lights in the room and close the wind to avoid bacteria. （ D） Install “smart“ lighting system. 55 Recent stories in the newspapers and magazines suggest that teaching and r
47、esearch contra diet each other that research plays too prominent a part in academic promotions, and that teaching is badly under-emphasized. There is an element of truth in these statements, but they also ignore deeper and more important relationships. Research experience is an essential element of
48、hiring and promotion at the research university because it is the emphasis on research that distinguishes such a university from an arts college. Some professors, however, neglect teaching for research, and that presents a problem. Most research universities reward outstanding teaching, but the grea
49、test recognition is usually given for achievements in research. Part of the reason is the difficulty of judging teaching. A highly responsible and tough professor is usually appreciated by top students who want to be challenged, but disliked by those whose records are less impressive. The mild professor gets overall ratings that are usually high, but there is a sense of disappointment on the part of the best students, exactly those for
