21、edomJ. extraordinaryK. fineIn late February, a mainland tourist caused a disturbance on a Hong Kong subway. The reason? Eating in public.In Hong Kong it is 31._ to eat on the subway, and when the tourist was scolded by a Hong Kong local, the situation escalated（升级） into a verbal slinging match.In Ne

22、w York City, eating on the subway is also controversial. No law bans the practice, but a Democratic state senator (参议员) introduced one last week. The 32._ law would ban eating on the subway system and 33._ first time violators $250 (1,579 yuan), according to the New York Times. Proponents of the bil

23、l argue that eating on the subway attracts rats. Others say the broader target should be litterbugs, rather than those who carefully sip their coffee and eat their bread on the way to work. They also argue that "street food" is an important part of New York's culture and history. Banni

28、lank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The two most common organizational patterns of the family are the nuclear family and the extended family. To a large extent, these patterns 41._ a society's primary subsistence (存在) strategy. American social scientists have generally agreed

29、 that families everywhere fulfill four crucial social 42._ : (a) reproduction of new members, (b) child care, (c) socialization of children to values, traditions, and norms of the society, and (d) intimacy and support for members. Although we can define the family 43._ its functions, the emphasis gi

30、ven to each of them varies widely both geographically and 44._ . For example, in nineteenth-century America, people married mainly to have children. Today, emotional support among family members has now become the dominant function of the family, and the family has become an economic unit for consum

31、ption rather than for 45._.In recent years, social scientists have discovered important 46._in family types, such as the single-parent family and the nuclear family fixed within a network of kin(亲戚). American families also 47._ according to social class. A couple's social class affects the numbe

32、r of children they will decide to have, if any, and also the likelihood of 48._to the family because of illness, death, or divorce. Social class also influences the amount of stress a marriage is likely to undergo and the way parents raise their children. 49._, the extent to which American families

33、now differ by 50._appears to be much less than it was fifty years ago.The American family has been 51._ in a number of ways over the past few decades. Many people are marrying later, having children later, and having fewer children or none at all. These social changes have 52._ diverse household pat

34、terns, including single-person households and childless couples. Role changes are also occurring as both partners pursue 53._ and share family responsibilities. Many innovative family arrangements are attempts to enhance the commitment of marriage while increasing individual freedom and fulfillment.

35、 In this way, families are 54_ such broad social trends as delayed marriage, greater participation of women in the job market, and a rising rate of divorce. Undoubtedly, the American family will continue to be subjected to such pressures, but how 55._ will these future adaptations be?41. A. reflect

39、Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Im afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting

40、 younger all the time, but unfortunately the crimes are becoming more serious. I only wish we didnt have to admit this but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves whats wrong with our society, or else our children clearly couldnt care less about law and order. The days of the sneak thief who stole

41、 a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over. I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” He said, “You must be joking. Thats what kids do.” I may add that he was aged 11. In other words, todays young criminals would fi

42、nd it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. Theyve got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think its all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves. Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of

43、color, race or low learning ability, these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing (美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to copy these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and government that the Chi

44、ldren and Young Persons Act, 1969, is becoming improper to deal with the rise in young criminals. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and gentle treatment of their crimes, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves know well that there is very little th

45、at can be done to prevent them continuing to steal, damage and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize (恐吓). I dont like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “i

46、ts nothing to do with me” attitude we have used for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals.56.By raising the question “Sweets from the chain store?”, the writer was asking the boy whether _.A. he wanted some sweets from a chain storeB.

47、 stealing sweets from a chain store was illegalC. he was caught while stealing from a chain store D. the days of stealing sweets from a chain store were over 57.Psychologically speaking, the reason why some youngsters commit crimes is that _.A. they want to take revenge on societyB. they think it a

48、way of showing their self-respectC. they are good at imitating the criminals in the films D. they dont know what they are doing is against the law 58. In dealing with young criminals, the writer is obviously in favor of _.A. severe punishment once used in the pastB. showing great concern about our c

49、hildrenC. more patient methods in educating young criminalsD. treating every young criminal as our own child59. In the writers opinion, who should be blamed most?A. TV and films. B. Young criminals. C. Police.D. Society.(B)Vancouver(温哥华)Natural ResourcesAs a major centre for the global forestry indu

50、stry, Vancouver is host to many international forestry conferences and events, and the natural home of the massive BC forestry business. Companies such as Canfor and West Fraser Timber Co., the second and third largest lumber（木材）producers in the world, are headquartered in Vancouver. Vancouver is al

51、so a major centre for the mining industry. International tradeInternational trade is a key part for Vancouver's economy. The city has Canada's largest port and is one of North America's major gateways for Pan-Pacific（泛太平洋）trade. The Port of Vancouver ranks first in North America in total

52、 foreign exports and second on the West Coast in total goods volume. Banking and FinancialThe headquarters for HSBC Canada （汇丰银行）is located in the Financial District in downtown. Canada's third largest commercial entity (实体), Jim Pattison Group is also based in Vancouver. International relationV

53、ancouver is a major centre for diplomacy (外交) and foreign relations. Most countries of the world have consulate（领事馆）or general offices in the Central Business District. In fact, many major diplomatic conferences are hosted by the city - including the world famous G7 summit with President Clinton, AP

54、EC, and the World Trade Organization. Greenpeace has its world headquarters in the city. Therefore, Vancouver was among the first North American cities to declare itself a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone. TourismTourism is a leading industry to Vancouver. The Whistler-Blackcomb Resort is among the most po

55、pular skiing resorts in North America, and will be the site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Vancouver's beaches, parks, waterfronts, and mountain backdrops and its multi- cultural character attract more and more tourists. FilmVancouver was the source of the sobriquet（绰号）"

56、;Hollywood North", for hosting the production of about ten percent of Hollywood's movies. Many U.S. television and films series are shot exclusively in Vancouver. This has partly been because of the favourable Canadian dollar exchange rate. 60. Which of the following description about Vanco

57、uver is NOT true according to the passage?A.The Port of Vancouver ranks first in North America in total foreign exports.B.Vancouver is a film production centre and called “Hollywood North".C.International forestry conferences and events were held in Vancouver.D.Vancouver is a leading centre for the global agriculture and industry.61. Which of the following organizations or events
