What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family consisted of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes previous marriage,or the husbands,or both,sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between two former spouses.Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children for only the present marriage;marriages with“full-time”children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with“full-time”children from the present marriage and“part-time”children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers,and half-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.1.By calling Americans marrying people the author means that_.A.Americans are more traditional than EuropeansB.Americans expect more out of marriage than EuropeansC.there are more married couples in the USA than in EuropeD.more of Americans as compared with Europeans,prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age2.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays American families?A.A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.B.Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.C.Americans prefer to have more kids than before.D.There are no nuclear families any more.3.The“nuclear family”refers to_.A.families formed up by men or women working for nuclear power stationsB.married couples who are closely matchedC.family consists of married couples who do not want to have any childD.family with small number of members4.“Part-time”children_A.spend some of their time with their half-brothers and some of their time with their half-sistersB.spend all of their time with one parent from the previous marriageC.are shared between the two former spousesD.cannot stay with“full-time”children【参考答案】14、DBCC 完形填空阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从 1635 各题所给的四个选项 A、B、C 和 D 中，选出最佳答案。To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts(才能)of a good actor. You must be able to 1 the attention and 2 of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your 3 ;and you must be able to act 4 you are teaching, in order to make its 5 clear.Watch a good teacher, 6 you will see that he doesnt sit still before his class: he stands the whole 7 he is teaching; he walks about, 8 his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations. Listen to him, then you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his 9 always changing according to what he is talking about.

The actor has to speak words which he has 13 by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays small part, even his 14 is usually fixed beforehand(事先).What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 15 on the stage.A teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play. They ask and answer questions, they 16 orders, and if they dont understand something, they say so. The teacher 17 has to suit his act to the needs of his audience. He cannot remember his part, but must 18 it as he goes along.Teachers are fine actors in class but unable to take part in 19 because their brains wouldnt keep discipline: they could not keep 20 to what another had written.( ) 1.
