【题目】Types of Family Structures

Family structure has changed noticeably over the last 50 years. 1

Nuclear Family

The nuclear family is the traditional type of family structure, consisting of two parents and children. 2 Children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the two-parent structure and generally have more opportunities due o the financial ease of two adults In America, almost 70 percent of children live in a nuclear family unit.

Extended Family

The extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals. 3 Extended families are becoming increasingly common all over the world.

Stepfamily

Many marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals choose to get remarried. This creates the stepfamily which involves two separate families merging into one new unit. 4 Stepfamilies are as common as the nuclear family, though they tend to have more problems. Stepfamilies need to learn to work together to ensure these family units run smoothly.

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what is the best type of family structure. 5 Families need to do what is best for each other and themselves, and that can be achieved in almost any unit.

A. Parents go to look after elders occasionally.

B. They raise the children together, due to financial difficulties.

C. The nuclear family was long held by society as the ideal to raise children.

D. It consists of a new husband and wife and their children from previous marriages.

E. As long as a family is filled with love and support for one another, it is successful.

F. The following types of families exist today, with some falling into different kind.

G. While these types of families are distinct in definition, in practice the lines are less clear.

【题目】 Scientists who study insects are troubled now. All across the United States, bees are leaving their hives and never returning. According to the beekeepers across the country, 25 to 40 percent of the bees in the United States have left their hives since last fall. So far, no one can explain why.

Bees play an important role in the production of about one third of the food we eat. A large number of plants not only need people’s care but also need bees that spread pollen from flower to flower. Without this process, a plant can’t produce seeds or fruits.

Now, a group of scientists and beekeepers are trying to find out what has happened. By examining bees’ behavior and health, they hope to find out what has caused the bees’ disappearance and to prevent bees from disappearing in the future.

Some people think the disappearance may be caused by disease. According to Dewey Caron, a researcher at the University of Delaware, the bees have signs of troubled immune systems (免疫系统) inside their bodies. But why would troubled immune systems cause bees to leave their hives? After all, when people are sick, they want to stay at home. Caron guesses that sick bees may have difficulty figuring out where their homes are.

“Another cause may be some chemicals that farmers use to kill unwanted insects on crops.” says Jerry Hayes, who works at the Florida Department of Agriculture.

1The underlined part “this process” refers to ________.

A.people’s care

B.sick bees are not able to find where their hives are

3What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Bees,Humans’ Friends

B.Scientists Are Interested in Bees

C.Why Are Bees Leaving?

D.How Do Bees Send out Information?

4The passage is most probably taken from ________.

【题目】 Starbuck’s founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso(浓咖啡) in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.

Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino(卡布基诺). I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes(拿铁) and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.

You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.

What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.

I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.

1What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the topic of the passage.B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.

C.To present the standard of good coffee.D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.

2In the author’s opinion, the coffee served in Starbucks and other branded stores _______.

A.contains too much sugar juiceB.represents the Italian coffee culture

C.is very different from that served in the USD.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee

3Italians prefer home-made coffee due to the fact that _______.

A.home-made coffee is much cheaper

B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home

C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine

D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home

【题目】 Learning a foreign language isn’t easy, but some people can learn it well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. 1

Study every day

Language learning is a process of accumulation (积累过程). 2 Study one or two hours out of class every day if you want a good mark.

Distribute (分配) your study time properly

Study a different task each time. Get an overview during half an hour: spend 10 minutes learning new vocabulary; 10 minutes learning new grammar; 10 minutes reading through the text. So you’ll at least have looked at it all.

Take part in every class

3 Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. If you are active at class and try to perform well, you’ll make progress quickly.

Learn grammar if you don’t already know it

Grammar is the skeleton (骨架) and the basic structure of a language. If you haven’t learned about it, you will meet problems with reading and understanding.4

Develop a good attitude

Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. 5 Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

A.You cannot put it off until tomorrow.

B.You cannot succeed if you lose heart.

C.So it is necessary for you to learn grammar.

D.Class time is your best opportunity to practice.

E.Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively (有效).

F.Set personal goals for what you want to learn.

G.Form a good habit of learning a foreign language.
