13、 sheet.Families have always been changing. For example, once the family was the world. In 31 words，at one time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was the childs only school. The family was the only means to settle a dispute. Nowadays，the family is still the world in som

14、e cultures. But in many cultures，these 32 functions of the family have largely been 33 by other institutions，such as schools，churches，and governments.In the 34 ，families changed in other ways，some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants，the

15、 family had to be small 35 move around, and when they settled down to 36 to obtain food，they found that they needed more 37 to do the work. Then the new family developed in some cultures. Now 38 to their children，people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.How are families changin

16、g today? The number of nuclear families（核心家庭）seems to be increasing everywhere in the world，while that of extended families is 39 .

19、y questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Intelligent young people want to go to university, and it is logical for a country to provide university

20、places for them to ensure that there will be good-trained men and women to run the government and industry in the future. So in the 1960s the government set up a number of new universities in Britain to provide everyone with sufficient opportunity to study. But now something has gone wrong. There is

21、 still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects, but many places for scientists are not taken up.The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical. They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university education. Why have their c

22、alculations proved wrong? One reason is that a lot of young people can get enough qualifications to work in industry by going to technical school. They think university courses are too long and too theoretical. But this does not explain why the majority of students still prefer arts subjects to scie

23、nce subjects.41What is logical according to the first paragraph?_.A Intelligent young people want to go to university.B The government should set up universities to train young people for the country.C People who run the country should be well-trained.D University is the place to train young men and

28、 small cars. Many Americans prefer large cars. As a result, European auto-makers produce a wide variety of economical, lightweight cars while American auto-makers tend to build bigger, heavier cars.The price of gasoline has much to do with this. Gasoline is expensive in Europe, so Europeans naturall

29、y prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many Old World cities have very narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than a large one.Some Americans like powerful engi

30、nes in their cars. They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips. They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages.Other Americans, however, have learned to like small, nimble cars. Many visitors to Europe during and after WW discovered th

31、at small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces. They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline.In the 1950s，many Americans began buying European cars. In 1953, for the first time, the United States imported more cars than it exported. The best

32、 seller among these imported cars was an odd-looking but dependable small car from Germany. Americans promptly nicknamed it the bug.Today, American car buyers have a wide choice.

36、big cars in Old World cities.Passage 3The bath was invented before the bath plug. The bath plug could not have been invented before the bath, except as a small object with which to play ice hockey. The order in which inventions are made is very important, much more important than has ever been reali

37、zed, because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier ones. A moments thought will show this is not so. If, for example, a solution to todays urban traffic problems was proposed in the shape of a small man-powered two-wheeled vehicle which would make the motor car

38、 look like a cumbersome （笨重的）over-powered device, a space rocket trying to tackle suburban problems, we would greet it as a great technological breakthrough. “Bicycle makes car obsolete!” We would cry. Unfortunately, the bike came first, so we shall always unconsciously see it as a cruder version of

39、 the car. Other things which may have been invented too early are the airship, the radio, the railway train, the cuff-link. Consider also the zipper. Zippers represent a technological advance on buttons, being faster and more complete. They are also more liable to come adrift, break, jam, stick and

40、catch. Buttons can only go wrong if the thread is faulty. Even then, buttons can be mended by the user, Zips rarely can.51If the bicycle were to be invented now, the car would appear_.A unsuitable for its purposeB in advance of its timeC unnecessarily expensiveD too far for safety52The railway train

42、tons are preferable to zippers because they_.A are more convenientB are more reliableC cost less to replaceD are more complete54What conclusion can be drawn from the article? _.A Modern technology cant solve our problems.B Everything has two aspects, advantages and disadvantages.C We should change o

43、ur usual way of thinking about inventions.D Technological innovations do not always mean more benefits55What does the word obsolete mean?_.A outdatedB slow in movementC ridiculousD awkwardIV.
