题目内容

Birth, marriage and death: these are the greatest events in human life. Many things, good and bad, can happen to us in our lives. Yet there are three days which are usually marked by some kind of special ceremony: the day we are born, the day we get married and the day we die. These are the three main events in life. We only have a choice in the second of these. We can choose whether or not to marry. But we have no choice in birth and death. All human beings from the most primitive to the most sophisticated（高级的）are affected by these three events. The only thing that differs in each society is the way these events are celebrated. Yet all societies share common characteristics. Birth is a time of joy. The proud parents receive congratulations and presents on behalf of the new-born. Marriage is also a time of joy. The young couple go through a special wedding ceremony and receive presents to help them set up their home. Death is a time of sorrow and is marked by a special ceremony and mourning. The dates of all three events are usually remembered.

61. What differs in each society in celebrating these events?

A. The time. B. The date. C. The people D. The way

62. Which of the following is not true?

A. Marriage is a time of happiness B. Birth is a time of joy.

C. Death is a time of ceremony. D. Both A and C.

63. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. The Celebrating Ways B. The Day We Are Born

C. The Great Events D. All Human Beings Must Die

Brazil has become one. of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint ef??forts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better results without re??ally trying, says George Martine at Harvard.

Brazil’s population growth rate dropped from 2. 99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1. 93% a year between 198 land 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2. 7 chil??dren on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.

Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (肥皂剧) and installment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in low??ering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest produc??ers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil’s most popular television net??work, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.

Although they have never really tried to work in a mes??sage towards the problems of reproduction, they describe mid??dle and upper class values: not many children, women work??ing, says Martine. They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious (有意识的) of other patterns of behaviour and other values, which were put into a very attrac??tive package.

Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. " This led to an enormous change in consumption (消费) patterns and consumption was incom??patible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction," says Mar??tine.

according to the passage, Brazil has lowered its population growth ________.

A. by educating its citizens B. by careful family planning

C. by developing TV programmes D. by chance

according to the passage, many Third World countries

A. haven’t given much attention to birth control

B. would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate

C. haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their population

D. haven’t realized the importance of TV plays in family planning

Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate be??cause ________.

A. they keep people sitting long hours watching TV

B. they have gradually changed people’s way of life

C. people are drawn to their attractive package

D. they popularize birth control measures

What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?

A. The increase in birth rate will increase consumption.

B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.

C. Consumption goes with reproduction.

D. A country ‘s production is limited by its population growth.

Dear Julia,

Thank you for the Chinese words, I have tried to say them 46 .We have had some snow in February but now the weather is getting warmer. Some festivals in England are Easter and Christmas.

Easter is next week. At Easter we give people chocolate eggs that represents birth. 47 The daffodils are yellow and they look like the sun. At Easter we celebrate the birth of lambs and baby chickens and other animals. 48 Children believe in the Easter bunny, which is a rabbit that goes from house to house delivering chocolate eggs.

49 At Christmas we give people presents and have decorations around the house. Christmas is celebrated because of the birth of Jesus. Children believe in Santa Claus, which is a man who goes from house to house delivering presents to all the children. I can't teach you any English because you are very good at the language already. 50 Hello: Hola; Goodbye: Adios; My name is Helen: Mi llamo Helen; My name is Julia: Mi llamo Julia; Thank you: Gracias.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes!

Love from Helen

Also we get a lot of flowers in Spring, daffodils and lilies are the

main flowers for Easter.

Easter is also a time to think about Jesus waking up from the dead.

C. So I can tell you a bit of Spanish.

D. Spanish is better than English.

E. Christmas is in December.

F but it is quite hard!
