Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.30 American consumers like convenience very much. During the last 50 years, there has been a dramatic increas
28、e in such labor-saving devices as automatic washing machines, clothes dryers, dishwashers, food processors, microwave ovens, garbage disposals and power lawn mowers. Today, all of these and many more, are found in a typical suburban home. These labor-saving devices are designed to reduce the time sp
29、ent on housework. However, the time that Americans save is quickly spent on other activities. The American desire for convenience also created the concept of fast-food restaurants, found in every city and almost every small town in the United States, and now exported all over the world. These fast-f
30、ood restaurants, such as McDonalds and KFC, serve sandwiches, salads, fried chicken, seafood, and other food to hurried customers in five minutes or less, often at a drive-up window. There are also a wide variety of restaurants that will deliver Chinese food, pizza, and other dishes to peoples homes
31、 in about a half-hour. In many areas there are “take-out taxis“ that will deliver food from the menus of 20 or 30 different restaurants for a small charge. For those who prefer to prepare their food at home, American grocery stores are full of convenience foods that are packaged and ready to cook or
32、 even precooked. Like microwave ovens and dishwashers, fast-food and take-out restaurants are convenient because they save the American consumer time that would otherwise be spent fixing meals or cleaning up. More than half of all the women in the United States are currently employed. This includes
33、mothers with children under the age of 18. More than half the women with little children under the age of six hold jobs. Sixty-eight percent of the women who have school-age children are employed. Families with working mothers need all the time-savers they can get. Thus, the conveniences that Americ
34、ans desire reflect not so much a leisurely lifestyle as a busy lifestyle in which even minutes of time are too valuable to be wasted. Alexis de Tocqueville was one of the first to see in this a curious paradox (自相矛盾) in the American character. He observed that Americans were so busy working to acqui
35、re comforts and conveniences that they were unable to relax and to enjoy leisure time when they had it. Today, many Americans have what one medical doctor has called “the hurry sickness“.31 The increase in labor-saving devices in the last 50 years reflected _.（A）a shortage of labor force in America（
36、B） peoples need to reduce the time spent on housework（C） Americans interest in doing housework（D）the quick change of American family life 32 Americans like fast food and takeout restaurants because _.（A）they are cheap（B） they offer nutritious and tasty food（C） they provide superior service（D）they ar
37、e convenient 33 It is implied in the passage that _.（A）fast food is not as nutritious as home-cooked food（B） fast food restaurants are more popular than take-out restaurants in the U. S.（C） most of the cooking at home is done by women（D）more men than women prefer eating convenient food 34 The conven
38、iences that Americans desire reflect _.（A）a leisurely lifestyle（B） a busy lifestyle（C） a wasteful habit（D）a lazy character 35 “The curious paradox in the American character“ (Last Para. ) means that _.（A）Americans were so busy working to acquire comforts and conveniences that they were unable to rel
39、ax and to enjoy leisure time when they had it（B） Americans love comforts and conveniences very much, yet they dont know how to get them（C） Americans value time very much, yet they are too wasteful of material things（D）Americans know its unhealthy to eat fast food, but they just cant resist it 35 The
40、 idea of building “New Towns“ to absorb growth is frequently considered a cure-all for urban problems. It is wrongly assumed that if new residents can be diverted from existing centers, the present urban situation at least will get no worse. It is further and equally wrongly assumed that since Europ
41、ean New Towns have been financially and socially successful, we can expect the same sorts of results in the United States. Present planning, thinking, and legislation will not produce the kinds of New Town that have been successful abroad. It will multiply suburbs or encourage developments in areas
42、where land is cheap and construction profitable rather than where New Towns are genuinely needed. Such ill-considered projects not only will fail to relieve pressures on existing cities but will, in fact, tend to weaken those cities further by drawing away high-income citizens and increasing the con
43、centration of low-income groups that are unable to provide tax income. The remaining taxpayers, accordingly, will face increasing burdens, and industry and commerce will seek escape. Unfortunately, this mechanism is already at work in some metropolitan areas. The promoters of New Towns so far in the
44、 United States have been developers, builders, and financial institutions. The main interest of these promoters is economic gain. Furthermore, federal regulations designed to promote the New Town idea do not consider social needs as the European New Town plans do. In fact, our regulations specify vi
45、rtually all the ingredients of the typical suburban community, with a bit of political rhetoric (修辞) thrown in. A workable American New Town formula should be established as firmly here as the national formula was in Britain. All possible social and governmental innovations as well as financial fact
46、ors should be thoroughly considered and accommodated (容纳) in this policy. Its objectives should be clearly stated, and both incentives and penalties should be provided to ensure that the objectives are pursued. If such a policy is developed, then the New Town approach can play an important role in a
47、lleviating Americas urban problems.36 The writer thinks that the idea of building “New Towns“ in the U. S. _.（A）will help to solve the present urban situation（B） will produce the same sorts of results as does in Europe（C） will by no means alleviate the urban problems（D）will prevent the present urban
48、 situation from getting worse 37 Which of the following is not a side effect caused by building new towns?（A）Industry and commerce will move away from metropolitan area.（B） The present cities tax income will be reduced because high income citizens will move to new towns.（C） Low-income families will
49、have better housing conditions.（D）The remaining citizens in the present cities will be faced with heavier tax burdens. 38 According to the writer, the advocators of New Towns in the U. S. _.（A）mainly have profit in mind（B） attach importance to social needs（C） hope to relieve pressures on existing cities（D）intend to follow the European example 39 The success of the New Town approach lies in t
