American Families
1 Despite social and economic differences among Americans,many American families have certain characteristics in common.Both the husband and wife were born in the United States,and their forefathers came from Europe.They have completed high school,and they belong to the middle class.They have a car, a television set,a washing machine,a refrigerator,a telephone,etc.They own their own home and spend about 55%of their income for housing and food.Clothing accounts for almost 10%of their income,medical care 6%,transportation 8%and taxes 15%.The rest of their income is used for such items as insurance, savings,gifts,and recreation.
2 Most families consist of a mother,a father,and,at most,two children living at home.There may be relatives-grandparents,aunts,uncles,cousins living in the same community,but American families usually maintain separate households.This family structure is known as the"nuclear family".It is unusual. for members of the family other than the husband,wife,and children to live together.
3 Marriage in the United States is considered a matte,r of individual responsibility and decision.Young people frequently fall in love and many even if their parents disagree.American marriages are usually based on romantic love,rather than on social class,education,or religion.
4 After their marriage the young couple is free to decide where to live and when to start a family.Most young couples set up their own household immediately.In the early 1970s only 15%of all married couples were not living on their own-independently and by themselves.Most married people practise some kind of birth control.They plan the number of children they are going to have and when their children will be born. The practice of limiting the size of families has general approval.The birth rate has been declining steadily in recent years.Most married couple don't______.
A:live with their parents
B:their own decisions
C:most American families are usually small
D:the family structure
E:some similar features
F:has been dropping答案：A解析：第一段的主旨句是第一句：" Despite social and economic differences among Americans,many American families have certain characteristics in common." D项中的“features”是主旨句中" characteristics”的同义转换。
第二段主要讲的是美国家庭是由哪些成员组成的，即常见的美国家庭的结构。
第三段第一句是主旨句，根据其中的“Marriage”把答案圈定在A.玖F三项，又由第三段最后一句可知，美国婚姻基于真爱而非基于社会阶级、教育和宗教，排除F项。本段主要讲的是婚姻观念而非婚姻生活，因此选择E项。
第四段的主旨句是第一句，主要讲的是美国年轻夫妻的婚后生活。A项中的“post-marriage"甲是第四段第一句中“After their marriage”的同义转换。
根据第一段第一句可知，美国很多家庭都有一定的相似之处。E项中的“some similarfeatures”是第一段第一句中“certain characteristics in common”的同义转换。
根据第三段第一句“Marriage in the United States is considered a matter of individualresponsibility and decision.”可知，美国年轻人自己负责和决定他们的婚姻。B项中的“theirown decisions”是第三段第一句中“individual responsibility and decision”的同义转换。
根据第四段第二句“Most young couples set up their own household immediatily.”可知，许多年轻人在婚后立即建立自己的家庭，不再与他们的父母住在一起。
根据第四段最后一句“The birth rate has been declining steadily in recent years.”可知，出生率近年来持续下降。F项中的“dropping”是对第四段最后一句中“declining”的同义改写。 -
第5题：
Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago,it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country?Or doesn't it matter?What about table manner?Should you use both hands when you are eating?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example,in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also,most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman,and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is,if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock,the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable--especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served,one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked,but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
Bad mannersin the last sentence means__.A.ugly
B.dishonest
C.impolite
D.shameful答案：C解析：根据文中所举例子可知，bad manners指的是“不礼貌的行为”。 -

第二篇
Call American Their Names
A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used.Americans have little concern for"rank",especially socially. Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank;it makes them feel uncomfortable.Many Americans even find the terms"Mr.","Mrs."or"Miss" too formal.People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names."Don't call me Mrs. Smith.Just call me Sally."Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However,if you do not feel comfortable using only first names,it is quite acceptable to be more formal.Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are accustomed to being more when you first meet someone.
Very often,introductions are made using both first and last names:"Mary Smith,this is John Jones."In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady"Mary"or"Miss Smith". Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names,and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead.You have a choice:if you don't want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to your own custom.In the first paragraph the author tells us that______.
A:Americans do not talk about rank,especially socially
B:Americans feel uncomfortable when talking about rank
C:Americans take interests in social customs
D:Americans don't care much about social rank答案：D解析：第一段讲美国人很少关注“级别”，特别是在社交方面。多数美国人不想因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬。这种特别的尊敬会让他们感到局促不安。比较四个选项，D项的意思最准确、最符合原文。
第一段原文提到：多数美国人因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬时会感到局促不安。所以选C。 "uncomfortable”在本文中应该理解为“局促不安的”(ill at ease; uneasy）。
第一段结尾提到：如果只称呼名字你会感到不安，正式一些是完全可以接受的。只要微笑着说过一会儿你会称呼名字，但是第一次见面你习惯于比较正式的称呼：所以与美国人谈话并不一定必须（have to)称呼名字。
从引文的上下文中可以推断出“Mrs.Smith”是比较正式的称呼，而美国人更喜欢直接称呼名字。所以选择B。
本文主要介绍美国的社会习俗―社交场合的称呼，与历史无关，不是通知的形式，更不是短篇小说。所以最可能出现在旅游指南上。 -

问答题Practice 6 Most people would be impressed by the high quality of medicine available to most Americans. There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they handle things badly. But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to public belief, it is not just a free competition system. The private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.正确答案：
【参考译文】
对于大多数人来说,大多数美国人能用到的高品质的药给他们都留下了印象。这里有大量的专业化,大量对个体的关注,大量先进的技术设备,以及为避免犯错而付出的巨大努力,因为如果医生和医院处理不当,他们就必须在法庭上面对财务风险。
但是美国人处境很困难。问题在于卫生保健的组织和筹资方式。与公众信念相反,它不只是一个自由的竞争体制。这个私有的体制已经加入了大的公有体制,因为私人医护根本不照顾不幸的人和年长的人。解析： 暂无解析 -
