2、
Questionsare based on the following passage:
Though some people have suggested that women should return to housework in order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion poll(民意测验)．
Lately some union officials have suggested that too many women are employed in type of work more suitable for men and that women should step aside to make way for unemployed young men．They argue that women--especially women in their childbearing years actually delay economic development and result in lower productivity, poor quality and inefficiency．
To solve the problem, they have suggested that the working women stay at home while their husbands or brothers were given double wages．They argue that under these circumstances, families would retain their same level of income, and women could run the house and raise children much better．
The suggestion has been rejected by 9out of 10 people polled．A hundred persons in a big city were questioned last．summer． Out of 50 women,46 said they were unwilling to leave their jobs, no matter what the situation was．The other 4 said they would like to return home if their jobs could be taken by their sons or daughters．Of 50 men polled, only 6 said they would like to see their wives give up their jobs, if it meant higher wages for themselves．
Some other people have suggested another way called "phased employment theory"． The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant(妊娠) and stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3．It suggests that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the 3-year period．This will benefit children, women, their fmnilies and the society．Some of those polled, both women and men, felt the idea is a good one．It definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to home forever．
Some union officials have suggested that women should return home because （ ）．
A．all of them are employed in unsuitable types of work
B．most skilled male workers are now unemployed
C．their participation in work has a bad influence on the economic development
D．nowadays no one can take care of children except women
3、Directions：There are 4 passages in this part．Each of the passages is followed by unfinished statements．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A．B．C and D． Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center：
Passage One
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness，but Dr．Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle．
During the hours when you labor through your work may say that you’ re “hot”．That’s true．The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak．For some people the peak comes during the forenoon．For others it comes in the afternoon or evening．No one has discovered why this is SO，but it leads to such familiar monologues (独白) as：“Get up，John! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature—and—energy peak in the evening．Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the family has．
You can’t change your energy cycle，but you can learn to make your life fit it better．Habit can help，Dr．Kleitman believes．Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway．Counteract（阻碍） your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to．If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day，rise before your usual hour．This won’t change your cycle，but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point．
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy．Get up with a leisurely yawn ( 哈欠 ) and stretch．Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor．Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before．Whenever possible，do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours．
If a person finds getting up early a problem，most probably ___．
A．he is a lazy person
B．he is not sure why his energy is low
C．he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
D．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
4、Passage two
The decline in moral standards-which has long concerned social analysts-has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.
The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation‘s moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.
But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that ’I‘m in it for me’ has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,” Ms. Elshtain says.
Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.
In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U.S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.
The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent "golden age," Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful ( 一厢情愿的 ) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice.
Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. "Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can't be bought."
Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans________.
A．have adapted to a new set of moral standards
B．are longing for the return of the good old days
C．have realized the importance of material things
D．are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards
