5．Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women，according to a new study．For men，getting married saves an hour of housework a week．"It's a well-known pattern，"said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research．"Men usually work more outside the home，while women take on more of the housework．"
He points out that differences among households （家庭） exist．But in general，marriage means more housework for women and less for men．"And the situation gets worse for women when they have children．"Stafford said．
Overall，times are changing in the American home．In 1976，women busied themselves with 26weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work，compared with 17hours in 2005．Men are taking on more housework，more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976to 13in 2005．
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework，about 12weekly hours，while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21hours a week．
Men showed a somewhat different pattern，with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men．Single men worked the hardest around the house，more than that of all other age groups of married men．
Having children increases housework even further．With more than three children，for example，wives took on more of the extra work，clocking about 28hours a week compared with husbands'10hours．

67．According to the"well-known pattern"in Paragraph 1，a married manC．
A．takes on heavier work                     B．does more housework
C．is the main breadwinner（ 養(yǎng)家糊口的人）   D．is the master of the house
68．How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s？D
A．About 28．     B．About 26．
C．About 13．     D．About 6．
69．What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text？A
A．An unmarried man．         B．An older married man．
C．A younger married man．    D．A married man with children．
70．What can we conclude from Stafford's research？C
A．Marriage gives men more freedom．
B．Marriage has effects on job choices．
C．Housework sharing changes over time．
D．Having children means doubled housework．

15．In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh（法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news．However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off．
Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations．Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing．As we walked light-heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，"Oh boy，bad day for a picnic．The weatherman says it's going to rain．"I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches．Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile．
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus．As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，"Oh that bus left five minutes ago．"Dreams of head-cutting！
It's not the news that makes someone angry．It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered（遞送）．Everyone must give bad news from time to time，and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude．A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way．A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone．Big winners know，when delivering any bad news，they should share the feeling of the receiver．
Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this．When you're tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces．
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy（同情），I would have appreciated his warning．Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，"Oh，that's all right I'll catch the next one．"Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轟炸的）person is sure to have．

63．In Paragraph 1，the writer tells the story of the pharaoh toB．
A．make a comparison                   B．introduce a topic
C．describe a scene                    D．offer an argument
64．In the writer's opinion，his neighbor wasC．
A．friendly         B．warm-hearted      C．not considerate      D．not helpful
65．From"Dreams of head-cutting！"（Paragraph3），we learn that the writerA．
A．was mad at the sales agent
B．was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
C．wished that the sales agent would have had dreams
D．dreamed of cutting the sales agent's head that night．
66．What is the main idea of the text？A
A．Delivering bad news properly is important in communication．
B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success．
C．Receiving bad news requires great courage．
D．Learning ancient traditions can be useful．

16．Dances are effective tools to convey messages．With the dance，music and well-designed actions，viewers can sway（搖擺）with what they hear and see．It's not just hearing an emotional tune or seeing some expressive movements，it is a way to get the soul．
More than strongly conveying a message，dances have a lot to offer us．Dances also allow us to express out feelings at certain moments．More than expression of strong emotions，dances are about a lot more things．We owe it to everyone to learn how to dance．Dances can unify people because they spend time together dancing．Every human culture develops some or other forms of dances to celebrate occasions．It also could be a suitable and inspirational form of entertainment．And it is leisure（休閑）with physical benefits．It takes us away from the hassle of normal life and allows us to relax while we have a dance，which is a good form of exercise．
The types of dances in the whole world are unlimited．There are the most commonly studied and performed types though．And probably the most widely known type of dance in the world is ballet．Jazz is a fun way to dance relying heavily on originality，improvisation（即興）and bold dramatic expression．There is tap dancing with floor tapping with creative rhythmic patterns．Hip hop on the other hand came from the hip hop culture．There are many variations of hip hop．They are breaking and popping，to name a few．Removing the strictness of ballet，we have the modern dance．

13．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices．This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves．If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food．
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight．I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops．If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives．
There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days take very little exercise．They do not walk to school．When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime，it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．
The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．

65．According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？B
A．Those who often take exercise．
B．Those who often watch television．
C．Those who often have meals at home．
D．Those who often walk to school．
66．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseD
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can't choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
67．The word"steer"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB．
A．force         B．guide          C．expect          D．observe
68．The main purpose of the text is toC．
A．tell a story      B．provide facts
C．give advice       D．compare opinions．

20．Nearly everyone is shy in some ways．If shyness is making you uncomfortable，it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence．You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists．
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations．What you have to say is just as important as what other people say．And don't turn down party invitations just because of your shyness．
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups．Make a list of the good qualities you have．Then make a list of ideas，experiences，and skills you would like to share with other people．Think about what you would like to say in advance．Then say it．
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group，take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people．Remember，you are not alone．Other people are concerned about the impression they are making，too．
No one ever gets over being shy completely，but most people do learn to live with their shyness．Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy．They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public．Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards．But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you．

64．Where would this article probably appear？A
A．In a popular magazine

17．Television will turn 86 years old on September 7，2013，and it has never looked better．In its youth，television was a piece of furniture with a tiny，round screen showing unclear pictures of  lowbudget programs．In spite of its shortcomings，it became well-received．Between 1950 and 1963，the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population．
As the audience got larger，the technology got better．Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s．Both of the reception and the picture improved．The major networks started broadcasting programs in color．
Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown，who wrote an article for the Post in 1967．Surprisingly，just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality．For example：All sets in the notdistant future will be color instruments．He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller，simpler，more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work．Smaller sets do not，of course，mean smaller screens．TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger．However，today's 3D TV is even farther away，if it's coming at all．There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it，in view of people's cold reception given to 3D movies．
But the technology with the greatest potential，according to Brown，was cable television （有線電視），which was still in its early stages then．As he predicted，the future of cable television was highly interactive．It wasn't cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world，however．It was the Internet．He even foresaw the future office：using picture phones，bigscreen televisions for conferences，and computers providing information，at the touch of a button．
Brown ever said，"The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent．It's a question of what we want．"
55．What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s？A
A．They were very popular with Americans
B．Their appearance remained unchangeable．
C．They showed blackandwhite pictures
D．Their pictures were of poor quality．
56．Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict？B
A．Television's good quality
B．The invention of 3D TV．
C．The more functions of TV
D．The potential of cable TV．
57．From the passage we knowD．
A．TV will certainly take the place of computers
B．There won't be further improvement on TV
C．TV repairmen will be out of work in the future
D.3D movies don't appeal to people very much
58．What is the text mainly about？C
A．The shortcomings of television
B．The advantages of television．
C．The development of television
D．The invention of television．

14．The American tradition of Thanksgiving dates back to colonial times，to the Pilgrims（清教徒） of Plymouth rock Colony．To escape religious persecution（迫害） in England，the Pilgrims journeyed to the New World on their ship，the Mayflower．After a long journey，they finally arrived at Plymouth Rock in autumn of 1620．They could not finish building the settlement before winter，so many froze to death．They ate most of their food on the journey over，so many also starved．However，the Pilgrims met a Native American named Tisquantum，or Squanto as he was better known，who taught them how to plant corn and catch eel（鰻魚）．By the same time next year，the Pilgrims had built a steady settlement，and had a bountiful harvest．To thank the Native Americans for their help and to celebrate the harvest，the Pilgrims held a grand banquet（盛宴）．Together，they feasted on corn，yams，fish，and most importantly：roast turkey，which became the highlight of the modern Thanksgiving feast．
Schools always make a big deal about Thanksgiving，because they feel that it teaches children how to be thankful and to treat others with kindness．I spent the many years of elementary school making paper turkeys，fake cornucopias（a shell filled with food，a symbol of the holiday），and writing lists of what I'm thankful for．When I grew older，I watched movies and read books about the First Thanksgiving，and completed crossword puzzles and word searches filled with holiday themed words．While the idea for Thanksgiving is great，and it is a wonderful opportunity to instill certain values in children，I don't think we should name a special holiday for being thankful．We should be thankful for what we have every day，not just Thanksgiving．
56．What's the main reason for the English Pilgrims to leave their home country？B
A．Political ideas．B．Religious beliefs．C．Hard life．D．Hopes for fortune．
57．What threatened the Pilgrims most when they first arrived the new world？A
A．Cold and starvation．B．Wild animals．C．Local people．D．Sickness．
58．Why did the Pilgrims hold a banquet one year after their arrival in the new world？C
A．To memorize their family members left in England．
B．To celebrate their survival from religious persecution．
C．To thank the Native Americans for their help．
D．To celebrate the new state they've set up．
59．For Thanksgiving，all the activities are normally done EXCEPTD．
A．enjoying a big meal                        B．making paper turkeys
C．doing crossword puzzles                    D．sing Christmas songs
60．The passage was written to show the writer's attitude of beingD．
A．knowledgeable      B．responsible          C．energetic            D．thankful．
