In recent years in the UK we have had a very large increase in the number of couples who get divorced. After 1969 and the Divorce Law Reform Act we had a very rapid increase in the number of divorces. The rate increased steadily and in recent years has increased much more rapidly. But there are also quite a lot of people who do actually get married. At present the marriage rate in the UK is about 70 per cent, which has gone down since the number of people who marry has gone down quite a lot in the last 20 years, but more significantly in the last 10 years. Quite high proportions of people now live together without marrying, and, for example, 40 per cent of children born in the UK are born to couples who arent married or are born to lone parents. There are quite a large number of lone parent families, 90 per cent of these are headed by a woman rather than a man. The average family size now in the UK is 1.8 children per couple, which means that theres been quite a decline in the birth rate in the UK along with other European countries.1. What does the passage mainly discuss? The increasing divorce rate in the UK.2. During the last ten years, the marriage rate has gone down more rapidly in the UK. 3. According to the passage, the cohabitation rate in the UK tends to soar (急剧上升)4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? The highest divorce rate was around 1969. 5. The last paragraph tells us _ the birth rate in the UK is decreasing rapidly now短文理解 2 ACBCCPeople all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by mans release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cant be reused. This not only causes .a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.1. The main cause of pollution is the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment.2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only all sides concerned would make more efforts3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause both a litter problem and a waster of resources4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution? Eating.5. What does the underlined word “litter” mean in paragraph 2? industrial pollution短文理解 3 ACBCBA funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we stopped talking to each other. I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and poof! I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation. The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact. The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback (退步) to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine. As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM?More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didnt really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isnt a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. Its their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out “Gee whiz”?1. The authors experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel _A_. A. unhappy B. funny C. wonderful2. According to the author, human contact in a park means _C_. A. looking at each other and saying hello when passingB. noticing their babies and stopping to pat their dogsC. both A and B3.

What are the examples the author gives to explain his idea that every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of human interaction? _ _C_ A. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.B. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.C. All of the above.5. What is the unintended result of communication technology, according to the author? _B_A. It makes communication easier and conversation possible everywhere. B. It actually creates a distance between people instead of bringing them together.C. It makes human contacts limitless with electronic voices everywhere短文理解 4 CBCACSome people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or “bike”.In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea - they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.1. According to the passage, bicycles _C_.A.are more convenient than carsB.are safer traffic tools than carsC.are the solution to some city problems2.The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by _B_.A.the city government B.some bike ridersC.some store owners3.“Bicycle lanes” in the third paragraph probably means _C_.A.roads for bicycles only B. roads full of bicyclesC. special parts of the road for bicycle riders only4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? _A_A. In New York City, many people use bikes as they have special lanes B. Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lanes.C. The Central Park is closed to cars on weekends.5. The best title for this passage is _C_.A. Traffic Crowding in New York CityB.Special Lanes for PassengersC. Solution to Traffic Problem in New York短文理解 5 ABBACBenjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, “London is not a city, - it is a nation.” Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world. .Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners.Most of Britains ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London.There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are “skilled cross-cultural travellers” without leaving their home-town.1Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraelis statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is _A_.A. a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversity B. even larger than some countries in the world C. not a nation at all 2. London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the following facts EXCEPT that _B_. A. within 10 years 40% Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups B. many young people are immigrants from different backgrounds C. London accommodates about
