三、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共50.0分）
A
Still seeking a destination for your weekend break？ There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King's Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint-free of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8，000 plant species； it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called "Hissing Sid" is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805， he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf -over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ______ .
A. attending the masters' class B. learning life drawing
C. working with local artists D. seeing an exhibition
"Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are ______ .
A. common insects B. rarely-seen snakes
C. impressive plants D. wildlife-enthusiasts
We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ______ .
A. to fear pet bears B. to like walking
C. to be a heavy drinker D. to finish university in 1805
In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake ______ .
A. surrounded by fields B. owned by Lord Byron
C. located in Grantchester D. discovered by Virginia Woolf
What is the passage mainly about？ ______
A. Some places for weekend break.
B. A way to become creative in art.
C. The colorful life in the countryside.
D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.
【答案】B、A、B、A、A
【解析】（1）B.细节理解题。根据第一则广告中最后一句"The Centre also runs two life drawing classesfor which there is a small fee."该中心还开办了两个素描班，费用很小。可知学习画画需要收费，故选B．
（2）A.细节理解题。根据第二则广告中第二段首句"The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, "这里的多枝火炬芦荟令人印象深刻。这种非洲植物在蓝绿色的叶子上开红花。可知，Torch Aloe是一种植物。根据第三段中a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.一种通常被称为金星捕蝇器的植物，以昆虫和其他小动物为食的。可知，Venus Flytrap也是一种植物。故选A．
（3）B.细节理解题。根据第三则广告中第一段最后一句"He spent a great deal of timewalking in the village."他花了很多时间在村子里散步。可知，他花了大量时间在村子里散步。故选B．
（4）A.细节理解题。根据第三则广告中第二段A couple of miles pastGrantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside,the pool is surrounded bybeautiful circular paths around the fields.（拜伦潭位于剑桥郡南部乡村格兰切斯特几英里处，周围是环绕田野的美丽的环形小路）可知A项正确，排除B、C项．根据最后一句"…Virginia Woolf-over a century after Byron,she reportedlytook a trip to swim in the same pool."可知弗吉尼亚 伍尔芙并不是发现拜伦潭的人，只是继拜伦之后，在此游过泳，故排除D项。故选A．
（5）A.主旨大意题。根据文章首句"Still seeking a destination for your weekendbreak？There are some places which are probablya mere walk away from your college."还在为你的周末假期寻找一个目的地吗？有些地方可能离你的大学只有几步之遥。"可知，这三则广告都是提供给大学生周末休闲的。故选A．
本文主要讲的是你仍然在寻找周末休息的目的地吗？有些地方可能离你的大学只有几步之遥。然后介绍了国王艺术中心、植物园和拜伦潭三处可供大学生休闲的地方。
阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意。因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料。其次，细读题材，各个击破。掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息。要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性。对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。
B
My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education.
Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders.She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our "rich and delicate language." She was a no-nonsense instructor.Unlike common teachers,she diagramed （用图表展示） sentences so we could know the grammar rules.She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning.
Under her influence,I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written.Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me.Two years after being in her class,I began the study of Latin and French,and the foundation（基础）she provided in English grammar served me well.Sadly,I never looked back.
In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller,the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level.Mr.Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis（分析）.Reading "Phèdre"，Racine's classic play,he asked us to note there were 1，654 lines in it,and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure.Years later I made the same point - giving Mr.Miller credit - in a college French class,and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play.Mr.Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view.Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me.
Mr.Miller is certainly long dead.If she is alive,Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s.In preparing this article,I tried to find her but was unsuccessful.
I am certain my act is common.People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers.I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr.Miller how much they did for me.I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing.Now I appreciate how special they were.
What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman's class？ ______
A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading.
What is special about Mr.Miller's French class？ ______
A. He asked students to count lines.
B. He stressed the importance of play.
C. He analyzed literature in a new way.
D. He showed great devotion to students.
What does the underlined phrase "my act" in the last paragraph refer to？ ______
A. Preparing the article. B. Looking for the teachers.
C. Failing to thank teachers. D. Copying teachers' points.
What best describes the two teachers according to the text？ ______
A. Creative. B. Frank. C. Humorous. D. Strict.
What is the author's purpose of writing the text？ ______
A. To show love for French literature.
B. To explore the meaning of education.
C. To explain why teachers are important.
D. To share memories of the two teachers.
【答案】A、C、C、A、D
【解析】（1）A.细节理解题。根据第二段"Unlike common teachers,she diagramed （用图表展示） sentences so we could know the grammar rules."（与普通老师不同，她画了句子的图表，这样我们就可以知道语法规则了。）可知，在Hammerman的课上，对作者最有益的部分是语法。故选A。
（2）C.细节理解题。根据第四段"Mr.Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis（分析）."（米勒先生给他的学科带来了令人惊讶的深刻理解和新的分析。）可知，他以一种新的方式分析文学，这是米勒先生法语课的特别之处。故选C。
（3）C.词义猜测题。根据最后一段"People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers." （人们经常忘记向老师表达爱意和感激之情。）可知推断，"I am certain my act is common." （我确信我的行为很普遍。）此处my act指"没有去感谢老师"。A.Preparing the article.准备文章；B.Looking for the teachers.找老师；C.Failing to thank teachers.没能感谢老师；D.Copying teachers' points.抄老师的观点。故选C。
（4）A.推理判断题。根据第二段"Unlike common teachers,she diagramed （用图表展示） sentences so we could know the grammar rules."（与普通老师不同，她画了句子的图表，这样我们就可以知道语法规则了。）以及根据第四段"Mr.Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis（分析）."（米勒先生给他的学科带来了令人惊讶的深刻理解和新的分析。）可知，作者的两位老师的教学都有创新性，结合选项A.Creative.创新性的；B.Frank.坦率的；C.Humorous.幽默的；D.Strict.严格的。故选A。
（5）D.写作意图题。根据第一段"My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education."（我一生中最大的遗憾是，我没有告诉我优秀的老师他们对我的早期教育做出了多大的贡献。）以及最后一段"I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr.Miller how much they did for me.I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing.Now I appreciate how special they were." （我应该告诉哈默曼小姐和米勒先生他们为我做了多少。我想他们知道自己的工作是有效的，因为他们坚信自己所做的。现在我明白他们有多特别了。）可知，本文主要是作者对两位老师的回忆。故选D。
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者学生时代的两位非常优秀教师对自己早期教育的影响，后悔自己没有及时告诉老师，也呼吁大家要及时表达对老师的感情。
C
In times of economic crisis,Americans turn to their families for support.If the Great Depression is any guide,we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate.But this won't necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages.In the long run,the Depression weakened American families,and the current crisis will probably do the same.
We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses.By 1932，when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed,the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929.But this doesn't mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages.Rather,with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs,unhappy couples often couldn't afford to divorce.They feared neither spouse （配偶） could manage alone.
Today,given the job losses of the past year,fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households.Furthermore,the housing market meltdown（暴跌）will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.
After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities.A 1940 book "The Unemployed Man and His Family"，described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job "with tireless search for work".He was always active,looking for odd jobs to do.
The problem is that such an impulse（冲动，推动力）is hard to sustain（维持）.Across the country,many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale（士气）.For some,the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed（压垮，击溃）their attempts to keep their families together.The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.
Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis,working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.
Today's economic crisis could well generate（产生）a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably（无法弥补地） ruined.So it's only when the economy is healthy again that we'll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.
In the initial stage,the current economic crisis is likely to ______ .
A. tear many troubled families apart
B. bring about a drop in the divorce rate
C. contribute to enduring family ties
D. cause a lot of conflicts in the family
In the Great Depression many unhappy couples chose to stick together because ______ .
A. starting a new family would be hard
B. they expected things would turn better
C. they wanted to better protect their kids

According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a common practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and as late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were "listeners attentive to a reading voice," and "the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye." The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.
Using Charles Dickens' nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickens' own literary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.
Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary (孤独的) reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduced literature to their children and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.
Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.
Since the literacy level of this section of the population was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1870 by the Education Act, a considerable number of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickens' readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dickens also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus illiteracy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.
A working-class home was in many ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions, the lighting was bad, and the home was also often half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the public to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurred the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickens's popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening.
Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and "jealously" to use Walter Benjamin's term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in today's world. Modern audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the practice. However, while the twentieth-and twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloud—such as "listeners attentive to a reading voice" and the ear being the focus—it is a far more solitary activity.
How did the practice of reading aloud influence Dickens's works
A. He started to write for a broader public crowd.
B. He included more readable contents in his novels.
C. Scenes of reading aloud became common in his works.
D. His works were intended to be both heard and read.
How many benefits did reading aloud bring to a Victorian family
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
Where could a London steel worker possibly have gone to for reading
A. Working place. B. His/ Her own house.
C. Nearby bookstores. D. Trafalgar Square.
What change did reading aloud bring to Victorian society
A. Different classes stated to appreciate and read literary works together.
B. People from lower social classes became accepted as middle-class.
C. The differences between classes grew less significant than before.
D. A non-class society in which everyone could read started to form.
What is likely to be discussed after the last paragraph
A. New reading trends for individuals.
B. The harm of modern audiobooks.
C. The material for modern reading.
D. Reading aloud in contemporary societies.

四、阅读表达（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）
In June 2011，my life changed and so did my family's.
I remember the day like it was yesterday.I came downstairs all ready for the family swim.Right before I got into the pool,my mom called me inside.She sat me down and waited for my dad and brothers to come to join us.Then,our parents told us the worst news imaginable—my dad had been diagnosed with Stage Ⅲ Colon Cancer（结肠癌）.
The news hit hard of course.However,in my head,my dad was a superman.As his daughter,I knew that cancer wasn't going to beat him.I just went out and swam.
As weeks went on,life didn't change much within our house.My mom still went to work；my brothers and I still went to school；and my dad still worked while also meeting his doctor.However,I didn't realize how much this new diagnosis was going to change my life.
As treatment progressed with my dad's cancer,I couldn't depend on him for things he usually did.And with my brothers being away at college,I had to take on a lot more responsibility.But that was not the hardest part of this new journey.It was the fear.The fear that I could lose my dad.The fear that I could get a call saying that he was in bad condition.The fear that I could never talk to him again.Yet with all these fears,there was never a doubt in my mind that my dad would beat this cancer.He was a superman.
The day of my dad's surgery finally came.It was Father's Day and I had my soccer game that day.I won my battle on the field and my dad won his in the hospital.
May 2013，my dad was completely cancer free.Though this journey proved to be a few of the hardest years of my life,it also proved to me how wonderful my dad really is.

(2) How did the author behave after hearing the news from her mother？（no more than 10 words） ______

【小题3】Operation.
【小题4】In May 2013．
【小题5】My father is a caring engineer,ready to help others.No matter which neighbor's household appliance is broken,he is willing to help deal with it for free.
【解析】（1）Her father developed a serious disease./ Her father was diagnosed with serious Colon Cancer.细节理解题。第一段"In June 2011…I remember the day like it was yesterday…-- my dad had been diagnosed with Stage III Colon Cancer." 2011年6月我记忆犹新--我父亲被诊断出患有第三期结肠癌。由此可知，她的父亲被诊断出患有第三期结肠癌，时间是2011年．故填Her father developed a serious disease./ Her father was diagnosed with serious Colon Cancer。
（2）She lived as usual.推理判断题。根据第二段"The news hit hard of course.However,in my head,my dad was a superman.As his daughter,I knew that cancer wasn't going to beat him.I just went out and swam.当然，这个消息打击很大。然而，在我的脑海里，我的爸爸是一个超人。作为他的女儿，我知道癌症不会打败他。我只是出去游泳。"和第三段"As weeks went on,life didn't change much within our house.My mom still went to work；my brothers and I still went to school.几个星期过去了，我们家的生活并没有太大的变化。我妈妈还在上班，我和兄弟们还在上学。" 由此可知，作者认为父亲是个不会被打败的超人。作者的生活没有多大变化，和平常一样。故填She lived as usual。
（3）Operation.猜测词意题。根据第二段"my dad still worked while also meeting his doctor."爸爸边工作边看病；以及第五段划线词所在句子 The day of my dad's surgery finally came.我爸爸的_____终于来了。后的"It was Father's Day and I had my soccer game that day.I won my battle on the field and my dad won his in the hospital."那天是父亲节，我有一场足球赛。我在战场上赢了，我爸爸在医院里赢了。以及最后一段的第一句"May 2013，my dad was completely cancer free" 2013年5月，我父亲完全没有了癌症（即手术让爸爸从癌症中康复）。由此可推断出，作者的爸爸手术（surgery）的时间到了。故第六段划线词"surgery"的意思为Operation.故填Operation。
（4）In May 2013.细节理解题。根据最后一段"May 2013，my dad was completely cancer free."2013年5月，我父亲完全没有了癌症。可知爸爸在2013年5月从癌症中完全康复。故填In May 2013。
（5）My father is a caring engineer,ready to help others.No matter which neighbor's household appliance is broken,he is willing to help deal with it for free.个人观点题。根据自己对父亲的观察以及平时的了解。先对自己作一个总的概括，再举例说明即可。故填My father is a caring engineer,ready to help others.No matter which neighbor's household appliance is broken,he is willing to help deal with it for free。
本文为记叙文。作者介绍了自己家里发生的改变。作者的爸爸被诊断患有癌症，虽然这个消息对作者一家是个沉重的打击，但爸爸却像个超人一样，边工作边治病，最后战胜了癌症。

三、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共50.0分）
A
Still seeking a destination for your weekend break？ There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King's Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint-free of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8，000 plant species； it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called "Hissing Sid" is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805， he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf -over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ______ .
A. attending the masters' class B. learning life drawing
C. working with local artists D. seeing an exhibition
"Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are ______ .
A. common insects B. rarely-seen snakes
C. impressive plants D. wildlife-enthusiasts
We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ______ .
A. to fear pet bears B. to like walking
C. to be a heavy drinker D. to finish university in 1805
In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake ______ .
A. surrounded by fields B. owned by Lord Byron
C. located in Grantchester D. discovered by Virginia Woolf
What is the passage mainly about？ ______
A. Some places for weekend break.
B. A way to become creative in art.
C. The colorful life in the countryside.
D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.
B
My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education.
Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders.She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our "rich and delicate language." She was a no-nonsense instructor.Unlike common teachers,she diagramed （用图表展示） sentences so we could know the grammar rules.She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning.
Under her influence,I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written.Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me.Two years after being in her class,I began the study of Latin and French,and the foundation（基础）she provided in English grammar served me well.Sadly,I never looked back.
In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller,the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level.Mr.Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis（分析）.Reading "Phèdre"，Racine's classic play,he asked us to note there were 1，654 lines in it,and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure.Years later I made the same point - giving Mr.Miller credit - in a college French class,and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play.Mr.Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view.Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me.
Mr.Miller is certainly long dead.If she is alive,Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s.In preparing this article,I tried to find her but was unsuccessful.
I am certain my act is common.People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers.I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr.Miller how much they did for me.I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing.Now I appreciate how special they were.
What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman's class？ ______
A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading.
What is special about Mr.Miller's French class？ ______
A. He asked students to count lines.
B. He stressed the importance of play.
C. He analyzed literature in a new way.
D. He showed great devotion to students.
What does the underlined phrase "my act" in the last paragraph refer to？ ______
A. Preparing the article. B. Looking for the teachers.
C. Failing to thank teachers. D. Copying teachers' points.
What best describes the two teachers according to the text？ ______
A. Creative. B. Frank. C. Humorous. D. Strict.
What is the author's purpose of writing the text？ ______
A. To show love for French literature.
B. To explore the meaning of education.
C. To explain why teachers are important.
D. To share memories of the two teachers.
C
In times of economic crisis,Americans turn to their families for support.If the Great Depression is any guide,we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate.But this won't necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages.In the long run,the Depression weakened American families,and the current crisis will probably do the same.
We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses.By 1932，when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed,the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929.But this doesn't mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages.Rather,with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs,unhappy couples often couldn't afford to divorce.They feared neither spouse （配偶） could manage alone.
Today,given the job losses of the past year,fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households.Furthermore,the housing market meltdown（暴跌）will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.
After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities.A 1940 book "The Unemployed Man and His Family"，described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job "with tireless search for work".He was always active,looking for odd jobs to do.
The problem is that such an impulse（冲动，推动力）is hard to sustain（维持）.Across the country,many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale（士气）.For some,the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed（压垮，击溃）their attempts to keep their families together.The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.
Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis,working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.
Today's economic crisis could well generate（产生）a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably（无法弥补地） ruined.So it's only when the economy is healthy again that we'll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.
In the initial stage,the current economic crisis is likely to ______ .
A. tear many troubled families apart
B. bring about a drop in the divorce rate
C. contribute to enduring family ties
D. cause a lot of conflicts in the family
In the Great Depression many unhappy couples chose to stick together because ______ .
A. starting a new family would be hard
B. they expected things would turn better
C. they wanted to better protect their kids
D. living separately would be too costly
In addition to job losses,what stands in the way of unhappy couples getting a divorce？ ______
A. Mounting family debts. B. A sense of insecurity.
C. Falling housing prices. D. Difficulty in getting a loan.
What will the current economic crisis eventually do to some married couples？ ______
A. It will irreparably damage their relationship.
B. It will undermine （逐渐削弱） their mutual understanding.
C. It will help strengthen their emotional bonds.
D. It will force them to pull their efforts together.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph？ ______
A. The economic recovery will see a higher divorce rate.
B. Few couples can stand the test of economic hardships.
C. A stable family is the best protection against poverty.
D. Money is the foundation of many a happy marriage.

According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a common practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and as late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were "listeners attentive to a reading voice," and "the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye." The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.
Using Charles Dickens' nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickens' own literary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.
Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary (孤独的) reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduced literature to their children and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.
Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.
Since the literacy level of this section of the population was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1870 by the Education Act, a considerable number of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickens' readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dickens also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus illiteracy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.
A working-class home was in many ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions, the lighting was bad, and the home was also often half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the public to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurred the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickens's popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening.
Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and "jealously" to use Walter Benjamin's term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in today's world. Modern audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the practice. However, while the twentieth-and twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloud—such as "listeners attentive to a reading voice" and the ear being the focus—it is a far more solitary activity.

In June 2011，my life changed and so did my family's.
I remember the day like it was yesterday.I came downstairs all ready for the family swim.Right before I got into the pool,my mom called me inside.She sat me down and waited for my dad and brothers to come to join us.Then,our parents told us the worst news imaginable—my dad had been diagnosed with Stage Ⅲ Colon Cancer（结肠癌）.
The news hit hard of course.However,in my head,my dad was a superman.As his daughter,I knew that cancer wasn't going to beat him.I just went out and swam.
As weeks went on,life didn't change much within our house.My mom still went to work；my brothers and I still went to school；and my dad still worked while also meeting his doctor.However,I didn't realize how much this new diagnosis was going to change my life.
As treatment progressed with my dad's cancer,I couldn't depend on him for things he usually did.And with my brothers being away at college,I had to take on a lot more responsibility.But that was not the hardest part of this new journey.It was the fear.The fear that I could lose my dad.The fear that I could get a call saying that he was in bad condition.The fear that I could never talk to him again.Yet with all these fears,there was never a doubt in my mind that my dad would beat this cancer.He was a superman.
The day of my dad's surgery finally came.It was Father's Day and I had my soccer game that day.I won my battle on the field and my dad won his in the hospital.
May 2013，my dad was completely cancer free.Though this journey proved to be a few of the hardest years of my life,it also proved to me how wonderful my dad really is.
