There are a lot of Americans who don’t smoke or drink, and many who don’t want people to do those things in their houses. It” s always best to ask for permission before you bring alcohol to a dinner or before you light up a cigarette, if you are with people you don’t know very well. Non-smokers have become more militant (好战的) about smoking in public places. Many restaurants, for example, have set up special areas for smokers.
Houseguests may bring gifts when they come to visit, and they often offer to help in some way. As a guest, you may want to ask your host or hostess if there’s anything you can do to help in the kitchen. In many cases, the gesture is more important than actually helping.
小题1:“..., the gesture is more important than actually helping.” Here “gesture” means ________.
A.态度 | B.话题 | C.姿态 | D.言行 |
A.men seldom shake hands |

答案
小题1:C

小题2:美国人见面时,男人常相互握手,妇女很少握手; 而男女见面时,则由女人决定是否握手,文中有It’s up to the woman. 可知C项正确。
小题3:文中没有提到妇女解放运动的具体时间,故应选B项。
小题4:从第三段第一句话There are a lot of Americans who don’t smoke or drink, and many who don’t want people to do those things in their houses. 可知并不是所有美国人都不希望别人在他们家里抽烟、喝酒。因此,A项符合题意。

Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy(***) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization process. Although many good books have been written about American mothers, only recently have some books discussed the role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation of daily routine and adaptation to a new life, on the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we have mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.
小题1:According to the author, being a father _______.
A.brings a feeling of excitement to some men |
B.has a different meaning for those who have daughters |
C.makes some men feel proud and others uneasy |
D.means nothing but more responsibilities. |
A.some parents are not prepared to have a child |
B.young couples do not like children at all |
C.working couples do not have much time to take care of their children |
D.many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child |
A.changes her life style in a quite different way |
B.makes a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation |
C.stays at home to take care of the baby |
D.helps her husband in his re-socialization process |
A.have to do more in the household | B.have to make more difficult adaptations |
C.have an easier job to do | D.can usually do a better job |

What causes traffic jams? Too many cars,right? No! Some Brits are now saying that trafficlights are to blame for much of the congestion.
They suggest that traffic lights be removed at busy roads.They believe people are a better judge of when it’s safe to go,not a traffic light programmed by an absent regulator.
A report from the Institute of Economic Affairs,a UK think tank(智囊团),argues that
abolishing traffic signals would decrease congestion,reduce exhaust(废气)emissions(排放)and improve safety.
The report said that removing lights should also prevent other bad behavior caused by signals.such、as speeding up to catch a green light It would also avoid the wasted time when drivers have to sit at a red light even if no one is using the green
The idea may sound strange,but it’s not new.Seven cities and regions in Europe are experimenting with no-lights roads.
Drachten in the Netherlands has gotten rid of 16 of its traffic light crossings and changed the other two to roundabouts under a“shared space”scheme.At crossings, cyclists dutifully raise their arm when they want to make a turn,and drivers follow a first.arrived,first.through approach and communicate by hand signs,nods and waving.The result? Typical journey time has been cut in half and accidents and congestion have mostly disappeared.
There have been small collisions but no problem,said Hans Monderman,creator of the scheme.“We want small accidents,in order to prevent serious ones.It works well because it’s dangerous.The driver has to be responsible for his or her own risk
“The many rules take away the ability to be considerate”Monderman added.“We’re losing our responsibility for socially responsible behavior.”
So far,Drachten’s locals have called the experiment a success.“I am used to it now,”said Helena Spaanstra.24.“You drive more slowly and carefully.but somehow you seem to get around town quicker.
Tony Ooostward,70,was equally enthusiastic.“I am a walker and now you are the boss at the crossroads,everyone waits for you.But at the same time walkers wait until there are a number of people wanting to cross at the same time.”
Owen Paterson,UK’s Shadow Transport Minister。visited Drachten.He said Britain should learn from the model.“The idea is to create space where there is mild anxiety among everyone so they all behave cautiously.No one drives fast along a busy street thinking that they have right of way.”
The model is being tested in London’s Kensington neighborhood.
