However, the appearance of the full-time “house-husband” is changing traditional family. ‎ A survey in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen shows that 22 percent, 73 percent, 34 percent and 32 percent of white-collar male workers, aged between 28 and 33, would be prepared to do the housekeeping if the conditions were right. ‎ Yang Wenhui, 32 years old, worked at the office of a company choses to quit the job. “My job was dull and steady. I was not promoted (提拔). My wife, in contrast, really likes her job. So, after our baby was born, I chose to stay at home and take care of the family while my wife works full-time outside the home,” said Yang. ‎ Sociologists have found the full-time house-husband emerges in three main situations. ‎ Firstly, if the wife is ambitious, well-paid and has good job prospects, while her husband is paid poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner for the household. Secondly, if the wife is tired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her husband may forfeit his job. Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this choice as it allows him more time to take care of the family. ‎ Influenced by traditional ideas, some families with full-time house-husbands prefer others not to know about their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husband with “no prospects” or wife who is “too strong”. ‎ Zhou Wei said he has become used to being a full-time househusband although his relatives doubted this when they gathered during the holidays. “A happy life is the most important thing, not other peoples’ opinions,” added Zhou.‎ ‎36. The reason for Yang Wenhui quitting his job is that ________.‎ A. it is too difficult for him to do it B. it is too boring for him to do it ‎ C. he is too old to go on doing it D. his wife wanted him to quit it ‎37. In which situation is a man unlikely to become a full-time house-husband?‎ A. He can earn enough money to keep family and has a good job prospects. ‎ B. He can earn much less than his wife and will never get promoted.‎ C. His wife hates housework and is busy with her work outside. ‎ D. His job can be done at home and he would like stay at home. ‎ ‎38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. A full-time house-husband is a man without prospects in life.‎ B. A full-time house-husband is much weaker than his wife.‎ C. A full-time house-husband is willing to share his experience with his relatives.‎ D. A full-time house-husband can also enjoy happiness from housework. ‎ ‎39. The underlined word “forfeit” probably means ________.‎ A. appreciate B. quit C. continue D. escape ‎ B A friend asks me “Why don’t Chinese go Dutch?” So I want to regard this question ‎ as the topic and write an article. As everyone knows, westerners will go Dutch while having a meal in the restaurant. But Chinese don’t go Dutch. Chinese will pay the bill and check out generously. Westerners don't often entertain guests; but Chinese often invite friends to dinner. A lot of westerners feel puzzled to this question. ‎ Why does there exist such a difference? First of all, food systems between China and the West are different. Chinese put into practice Gather Dining System; westerners put into practice Individual Dining System. Everybody can share the delicious food of all over the table when eating Chinese food. Please note it is sharing, but westerners just eat the food in one’s own plate. If you eat beef and he eats chicken, it is impossible that you taste the flavor of his chicken. The result of the Individual Dining System is that you can only eat the food in your plate. ‎ So to eat Chinese food is happier than to eat western-style food. And I want to ask you a question. Do you like the free thing? I think nobody doesn’t like the free thing. OK! Suppose I invite you to eat the delicious Chinese food, then I pay the bill. This is equivalent to that you have enjoyed a delicious Chinese food free. So you will be very glad. It will strengthen the relation between us in the happy atmosphere. ‎ Secondly, westerners eat for the health; Chinese eat for the friendship. Westerners advocate individualism and independence is strong. So westerners express that respect for each other’s independence through the way of going Dutch. Chinese like making friends and solidarity. Chinese value the interpersonal relationships and the friendship very much.‎ Thirdly, it is only simple “Have a meal” for westerners to entertain guests. Unlike the purpose and the means that Chinese entertain guests, in Americans’ idea, “Have a meal” definition is to add fuel to the body for keeping health and normal life activity. That is to say, there is not any additional value. In the Chinese idea, “Have a meal” not only is a kind of life enjoyment, but also is the means to promote friendship between the friends. After enjoying the sumptuous delicious food, you are glad, and I am glad too. The friendship between the friends has been strengthened in this kind of atmosphere.‎ ‎40 What does “go Dutch” mean?‎ A. Diners will pay for the meal separately. B. Either diners will pay for the meal.‎ C. Diners will go to Dutch for a meal. D. Diners can enjoy a meal free of charge.‎ ‎41. The differences between western and Chinese Dinning System lie in the following aspects EXCEPT .‎ A. individual and gathering ‎ B. the purposes for health and for the friendship C. health maintenance and life enjoyment D. opposition and dependence ‎42. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Westerners will share the food in their plates with each other.‎ B. Chinese would like the free meal so they never pay the bill.‎ C. Westerners don’t value the friendship so they never pay the meal for others.‎ D. Chinese attitudes towards the meal seem more complicated than westerners’.‎ ‎43. The passage mainly analyzes the cause of .‎ A. the different cultures between the West and China B. the various styles of food between the West and China C. the different ways of paying the bill between westerners and Chinese D. all kinds of tastes of food from different countries C ‎ Ears are for hearing—everyone knows that. But for a creature called the Cuvier’s beaked whale, hearing starts in the throat, a new study found. ‎ The observation might help explain how all whales hear. The work might also help scientists understand how animals are affected by underwater sonar (声纳系统). This sonar, used by some ships, sends out sound waves to locate underwater objects. ‎ The Cuvier’s beaked whale is a so-called toothed whale. Toothed whales dive deep into the ocean in search of food. As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when they’re 1,000 meters under the sea, where it is totally dark. ‎ To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego State University in California took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales. The whales had died and washed up on the beach. ‎ Ted Cranford and his colleagues used the images to make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head. Then, they modeled the process of sound traveling through the head. ‎ The researchers knew that some sounds get to the ears of a toothed whale through a structure called “the window for sound”. Found on the lower jaw, this structure is very thin on the outside and has a large pad (垫) of fat on the inside. ‎ When the researchers used their computer model to work out how sound waves travel in the whale’s head, they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in front of the whale actually travel under the animal’s jaw. From there, sound waves move through the throat, into a hole in the back of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal’s ears. ‎ Cranford guesses that other types of whales may hear through their throats. Further testing is needed to be sure. Eventually, the insight into how whales hear might explain whether sonar testing by military ships is causing the animals to wind up on beaches.‎ ‎44. Toothed whales look for food under the sea by ______.‎ ‎  A. watching the shape and size of their objects   B. diving deep into the sea ‎  C. sending and receiving sounds      D. making lots of noises      ‎ ‎45. Researchers took X-rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales in order to ______.‎ ‎  A. find out why they had died and washed up on the beach ‎  B. make a computer model of the Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head ‎  C. make sure that sound travels through the whale’s head ‎  D. know more about the way the whale hears    ‎ ‎46. Which of the following describes the way sound waves travel through a Cuvier’s ‎ beaked whale?‎ ‎  A. A hole in the back of the jaw → the ears → the jaw → the throat.    ‎ ‎  B. The jaw → the throat → a hole in the back of the jaw → the ears.‎ ‎  C. The throat → the jaw → the ears → a hole in the back of the jaw.    ‎ ‎  D. The ears → the throat → a hole in the back of the jaw → the jaw.‎ ‎47. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage?‎ ‎  A. Ears are useless to the Cuvier’s beaked whale.‎ ‎  B. Military ships send out sounds like a Cuvier’s beaked whale.‎ C. The whale’s unusual acts have nothing to do with human activities.‎ ‎  D. Further research might show human activities can influence whale’s activities.‎ 第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.‎ Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.‎ What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats, and more American men followed his example.‎ There is also a cyclical (周期性的) pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War II, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.‎ Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of ‎ jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.‎ At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater, and it would be discourteous (失礼的) to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either!‎ Fashion Change People’s attitude towards fashion In our life, teenagers or people in their early twenties care more about their (71) ▲_.‎ Ordinary people just follow the trends of fashion passively.‎ ‎(72) ▲ that fashion has on people People are able to feel more (73) ▲ or less embarrassed if they dress themselves fashionably. ‎ People are constantly under (74) ▲ to keep up with the fashion.‎ Causes of fashion changing Sometimes a fashion can be (75) ▲ due to convenience or practical necessity, or just because of the fancy of an influential person.‎ Cyclical (76) ▲ in fashion Some old fashion may become (77) ▲ again after a certain period of time.‎ Fashion today People are free to dress or do their hair according to their (78) ▲ instead of going after popularity.‎ Writer’s attitude People must (79) ▲ properly on some occasions and always (80) ▲ delighted even if you don’t look fashionable.‎ 任务型阅读 ‎1______________2______________3______________4______________5________________‎ ‎6______________7______________8______________9______________10_______________‎ 姓名 班级 考号 ‎ ‎
