　　Ⅵ.Read the following passages and complete the statements or answer the questions with the correct choices.Write your right letters on the Answer Sheet:(20%)

　　Passage 1

　　“Family” is of course an elastic(弹性的) 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 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 means leaving one's parents and starting one's 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 alone.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 Austin's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were 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—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(减轻) of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair 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.

　　1.What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word"?

　　A.Different families have different ways of life.

　　B.Different times produce different families.

　　C.Different nations have different families.

　　D.Different definitions could be given to the word.

　　2.For an English family,the husband's duty is ______.

　　B.defending the family which the wife's is running the home

　　C.supporting the family while the wife's is financial

　　D.independent while the wife's is dependent

　　3.Everything is decided in a family ______.

　　A.with the help of their parents B.by the couple

　　C.by brothers and sisters D.with the help of aunts and uncles

　　4.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 provides a lot of information of former?time wealthy families

　　D.It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.

　　5.With regard to marriage in Britain,present-ay girls differ from former-ime girls in ______.

　　C.social position D.choosing husbands

　　Passage 2

　　The rat has many enemies and its greatest enemy is man.Nevertheless,rats are survivors.Although man has carried on an endless war against them,rats have methodically and systematically colonized the world.In almost every country from the freezing cold of the Arctic regions to the blazing heat of the tropics,rats are to be found,growing,increasing and multiplying.

　　Apart from their ability to adapt themselves to varying climatic conditions,rats possess another quality that gives them an advantage in extending their boundaries.More so than most other animals,including snakes and spiders,they cause fear.Why should this be so?Certainly they carry disease and man is slow to forget the Black Plague(黑死病)carried by rats,that killed more than one-hird of the earth's population in the fourteenth century.Also rats have been known to bite babi

　　es in their cots,but the number of such attacks is very much exaggerated.One reads of the danger of being attacked by a cornered rat but they belong to fiction;rats do not go for your throat,as many would have us believe.Furthermore,it is difficult to believe that the rats' appearance can be a source of fear;the common black or brown rat can hardly be regarded as an ugly creature while its cousin,

　　the acacia rat,is quite pretty and gentle.

　　6.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

　　A.man is the rat's worst enemy

　　B.man is no worse than many of the rat's enemy

　　C.man's greatest enemy is rat

　　7.It can be concluded from the passage that ______.

　　A.rats dislike heat but do not mind the cold

　　B.rats prefer the heat to the cold

　　8.Which of the following is true of the rats?

　　A.They are more harmful than any other animal.

　　B.They make people afraid.

　　C.They are pretty and gentle.

　　D.They frequently attack babies.

　　9.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?

　　A.The number of rats is decreasing quickly.

　　B.Rats usually go for your throat at night.

　　C.Rats will disappear at last because they carry disease.

　　D.Rats will survive because they can live anywhere.

　　10.By which of the following could the “exaggerated"(sentence 5,paragraph 2) be best replaced?

　　A.smaller than it really is. B.kept in secret.

　　C.larger than it really is. D.the same as it is reported.

　　Passage 3

　　For years,the Tobacco Institute has tried unsuccessfully to refute the charge by health experts that cigarette smoking can be dangerous to your health.Now the institute has taken a new tack.In an advertising campaign last fall,the industry trade association paid no attention to health questions and emphasized that no smoking could be dangerous to local economy.“Tobacco means $1,193,000,000 to Virginia,"said one advertisement,“Virginia tobacco helps pave Virginia roads,build Virginia parks and support Virginia social programs.Tobacco means 90,000 Virginia jobs."

　　The American Cancer Society disagrees.While Virginia is collecting its $1.2 billion in tobacco revenue this year,the Society said,2,900 of its citizens will be victims of lung cancer.Thousands more,the Society could add,will be victims of other diseases strongly associated with smoking.And the U.S. Surgeon General estimates the direct dollar coats of treating smokingrelated illnesses nationally at more than $13 billion a year—not to mention another $25 billion in lost wages and productivity.
