    “Family” is of course an elastic 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 Austen´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 to 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 of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. 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.
    41. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?
    A.Different families have different ways of life.
    B. Different definitions could be given to the word.
    C. Different nations have different families.
    D.Different times produce different families.
    42. For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.
    A. supporting the family while the wife is financial?
    B. defending the family while the wife is running the home
    C. financial while the wife is running the home?
    D. independent while the wife is dependent
    43. Everything is decided in a family ____.
    A.by the coupleB. with the help of their parents
    C. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles
    44. 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 gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.
    D. It provides a lot of information of former?time wealthy families.

    第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    On a visit to my home state, I had a chance to drive through Cazenovia, a village on the shores of Lake Cazenovia. It seemed to me as if in a dream. I saw again the lakeshore meadow(草地)that has always remained an unforgettable part of my childhood memory. It was the place of family picnics（野炊）.
    It was Grandma who had made it a rule to have the annual（每年的) outing. She had made known her wish that the family should meet each summer when travel was easier and eat together in the open air. It was her pleasure to have all her children, and their children, gather in the meadow, and spend the day eating, singing, playing, chatting, making jokes.
    After so many years, I can still see her in my mind, a large figure, dressed in black although it was summer, seated under the shade of a large tree. The others spread around her, sitting on blankets on the grass. Despite(尽管) the joy, the family picnic was also a time of puzzlement(迷惑) for me. Who was this stranger in black with whom I could not speak?
    What I knew of my grandmother, I heard from my mother: she believed in good food on the table. She knew you are what you eat and she loved America for all kinds of foods it provided to people like her, who, back in her home country, had been used to a simple life, with so little food.
    We were about fifty kin (家族成员)gathered in that meadow, living proof of the family progress. Grandma’s sons and daughters all offered her services, goods and children. And yet, despite the good times and good food and the happy chatting people, I still felt a sense of strangeness. When I asked my mother why Grandma looked so strange and never spoke to us, I was told that Grandma’s home country was in Europe and she didn’t speak our language. In my eyes, she might as well have been from Mars(火星). I never remember hearing our own mother speak to her mother, although she must have. I only remember my shock at mother’s sadness when Grandma died. Was she crying for the silence that had existed like a wall between them?......
    36. Whom does the underlined words “their children”  refer to?
    A. The writer’s children            B. Grandma’s children
    C. Grandma’s grandchildren        D. All the children in the family
    37. Which of the following was a cause that made Grandma a “stranger” to the writer?
    A. Grandma loved all kinds of good foods in America.
    B. Grandma started the tradition of the annual gathering.
    　 C. Grandma spoke a language different from the writer’s.
    D. Grandma enjoyed the family gathering every summer.
    38. What does the writer mean by “living proof of the family progress?
    A. The writer’s family were having a good time.
    B. The writer’s family were having a modern life.
    C. Life had improved a lot for the writer’s family.
    D. The size of the writer’s family had grown greatly.
    39.Why might Grandma have been from mars in the writer’s eyes?
    A. Because Grandma acted very strangely.
    B. Because the writer never heard Grandma speak to Mother.

    三. 阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分）
    The horsepower was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world’s first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power.
    Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
    He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3,300 pound weight 100 feet in one minute.

    Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
    I felt tense and nervous. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
    The first notes I played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. To my surprise I was neither caught nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stopping secretly threw a penny into my hat, as if getting rid of some guilty evidence.
    Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.
    I worked there for several days, gradually getting the truths of the trade by trial and error（反复试验）.It was not a good thing, for example, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.
    41．When he first began to play the violin, he expected           .
    A．to get into trouble                                                               B．to play better than he did
    C．people to stop and listen to him             D．to be told to move somewhere else
    42．The first man who gave him money           .
    A．was too busy to stop                            B．wanted to get rid of him               
    C．dropped the money by mistake              D．did not want to attract attention
    43．He gradually became confident that day because           .
    A．nobody looked at him                          B．he played the violin very well       
    C．people continued to give him money      D．he earned a lot of money
    44．On the following days, he           .
    A．made a lot of mistakes                         B．learned how to do the job better    
    C．get better at playing the violin               D．did not make so much money
    45．He found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to          .
    A．play in different streets                        B．leave all the money in the hat        
    C．empty the hat at regular times               D．leave a small amount of money in the hat

    Lots of students shop to reduce stress or just to kill time with their friends. Shopping to get rid of boredom or to escape from life’s pressures may lead to serious problems. When you start to shop out of control, you become a shopping addict.
    Shopping addicts show signs that are similar to other addicts. Some students think that shopping, even as little as buying gifts for classmates, can make them feel better and forget their problems. Actually, it can make them feel worse, guilty, or even cause them to run into financial difficulties. Finding yourself in a financial struggle or deep in debt may harm your relationships with friends and parents.
    Do you go shopping for just a few things and come home with your wallet empty? Do you always go shopping after an emotional trauma or when life feels tough（艰难的）? Do you regret later what you buy? Or do you buy things that you never use? Maybe your parents or friends have expressed disagreement that leads you to hide items or lie about prices.
    Avoid any environment that may make you want to spend money. Never use credit cards. Form some other meaningful and beneficial hobbies. Exercise, yoga and hot baths generally may help you not want to shop. Take a drive through the country where there aren’t any stores. Have patience with yourself and your money, which can benefit you for the rest of your life.
    60. According to the passage, shopping addicts ______.
    are always rich people             B. get well along with friends
    C. may suffer financial difficulties      D. all the above
    61. The third paragraph mainly tells about ______.
    ways to get rid of shopping addiction
    the signs of shopping addicts
    the danger of shopping addiction
    why shopping addicts can’t stop shopping

    hurt       B. satisfaction      C. enjoyment    D. appreciation
    63. The intended readers of the passage are ______.
    teachers       B. doctors      C. students     D. education

    B
    If you want to take the whole family on holiday, and keep everybody happy, then I have found just the place for you. I recently went with a group of friends to stay at the Greenwood Holiday Village, which is open from May until October.
    Built in the centre of a forest, Greenwood is a great place to stay whatever the weather is like. Its main attraction for families is the indoor World of Water, where young and old can have fun in the different pools. Some of these, however, are for serious swimmers only.
    For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash and badminton. If your children are too young to join in these sports, there are activity clubs. Greenwood is a good place for families as it is traffic-free-you explore on foot or by bike. Some people complained that this was inconvenient, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh air. For evening entertainment, there are shows and cinemas.
    Accommodation is in a variety of apartments of different sizes. These have up to four bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a dining area. Before going, I thought the apartments might not be big enough for all of us, but I was pleasantly surprised ― it was not too crowded at all.
    I'll definitely go back to Greenwood next year. Why don't you give it a try? Visit their website for further information now!
    65. From the text, the reader can find out ______.
    A. the best way to get to the holiday village
    B. the best time of year to visit the holiday village
    C. what activities are available at the holiday village
    D. how to reserve accommodation at the holiday village
    66. What does the writer think about the holiday village?
    A. The apartments there are not big enough.
    B. It is not convenient because you cannot use your car.
    C. It can only be enjoyed in good weather.
    D. There is something there for all ages.
    67. Which of the following statements about the apartments is TRUE?
    A. There is not much space between them.      B. Each one has its own bathroom.
    C. They all have four bedrooms.                    D. Not all of them have dining areas.
