阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　The British aren't having as many children as they used to．One reason is that people are having children much older than before, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have them．After years at university, they need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want．They might then get married, but it's incredibly expensive to buy a house in the UK．

　　The above explains why young British people now don't move out of their parents’ home until they are around 30 years old on average．It is not until they are 30 that they can afford their own home．Increasingly, it is not until that age that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home．It's only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child．

　　So a British person manages to get a job, get a home and get married．Why isn't he or she then having at least two children on average? The main reason is that it is quite expensive to bring up a child in the UK．Why is it expensive? Well, these days, both parents need to work just to pay for their home and living expenses．Because both parents are at work, that means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day．Paying for this childcare is nearly always expensive．

　　The recent financial crisis is making things even harder for families, since unemployment is rising and even fewer people can afford to have children．With so much pressure on families, is it any surprise that the divorce rate is so high?

　　So what is Britain doing to try and save the British family? The government is trying to make it cheaper to have children．For example, there have been increases in money families can claim from the state each month．Also, there are increasing government subsidies for nursery schools, so that parents do not need to pay so much for child care．

　　The government is also trying to reduce the number of hours British parents have to work to earn enough money to pay their bills．If parents didn't have to work so many hours, they'd have more time to spend with their children and wouldn't need to spend so much on childcare．On average, a Briton works 49 hours a week, which is the most in Europe．The state is now considering introducing laws to encourage companies to improve their employees’ work-life balance．Let's hope they’re not too late to save the British family．Otherwise, the British will always be too tired, and won't have enough time and money, to have children．

(1)

Young British people live in their parents’ home until around 30 because ________．
[　　]
A．	They are allowed to get married at 30
B．	they can't find jobs to support themselves
C．	they can't afford a house of their own until then
D．	they enjoy family life with their parents

(2)

The British are now having fewer children than before for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ________．
[　　]
A．	they have fewer years to have children
B．	they live much shorter lives than before

D．	people are losing their jobs because of the recent financial crisis

(3)

To make it cheaper to have children, the British government is ________．
[　　]
A．	bringing down prices
B．	raising the salaries of parents
C．	reducing family income tax
D．	increasing subsidies for families and nursery schools

(4)

It can be inferred from the text that ________．
[　　]
A．	with long work hours, it is hard for British parents to balance life and work
B．	more and more families in Britain are breaking up because they are having fewer children
C．	among Europeans, British people work hardest and earn the least
D．	childcare takes up too much energy and time for the British

(5)

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）
第一节（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Americans spend their free time in various ways．
America is a country of sports — of hunting, fishing and swimming, and of team sports like baseball and football．Millions of Americans watch their favorite sports on television．They also like to play in community orchestras （管弦乐队）, make their own films or recordings, go camping, visit museums，attend lectures, travel, garden, read, and join in hundreds of other activities．The people also enjoy building things for their homes, sewing their own clothes, even making their own photographs．They do these things for fun as well as for economy．
But as much as Americans enjoy their free time, the country is at the same time a “self-improvement” country．More than 25 million adults continue their education, chiefly by going to school in the evening, during their own free time, at their own expense．Added to the time spent on personal activities, Americans a1so devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities．Many hospitals, schools, libraries, museums, parks, community centers, and organizations that assist the poor depend on the many hours citizens devote to these activities, often without any pay．Why do they do it?
There are several answers．The idea of cooperating and sharing responsibility with one another for the benefit of all is as old as the country itself．[来源:学。科。网]
When the country was first founded in 1776, it was necessary for the settlers to work together to live．They had crossed dangerous seas and risked all they had in their struggle for political and religious freedom．There remains among many Americans a distrust of central government．People still prefer to do things themselves within their communities, rather than give the government more control．
Sometimes people offer their time because they wish to accomplish something for which no money is paid, to do something that will be of benefit to the entire community．It is true that some people use their leisure because they are truly interested in the work; or they are learning from the experience．
No matter what the reason is, hundreds of thousands of so-called leisure hours are put into hard, unpaid work on one or another community need．
1．This passage is mainly about ________．
A．why America is a country of sports
B．how Americans spend their free time
C．why America is a “self-improvement” country
D．how Americans are devoted to their community activities
2．The writer mentions the foundation of the country in order to indicate ________．
A．the early history of America
B．the American people’s determination to live
C．the reason for Americans’ willingness to cooperate and share responsibility
D．the American people’ s love for freedom
3．Which of the following best explains the meaning of the underlined word “leisure”?
A．work time B．energy C．effort D．spare time
4．What can we infer from the text?
A．The first settlers left their hometown for political and religious reasons．
B．Many Americans don’t trust the central government．
C．American people enjoy building things for their homes just for fun．
D．Americans continue their education at their own expense．
