听力原文： A "typical" British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, un married couples and single parents.
Another change has been caused by the fact that people arc living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people's lives, there are many families that consist of only one person or one person and children. You might think that marriage and the families are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.

A．High rate of divorce in Britain.
B．Generation gap in Britain.
C．Changes in family life in Britain.
D．One-parent families in Britain.
The new family structure offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in these families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family lives.
In the past, wives usually have to pay for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters and grandparents and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions.
But now, wives do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage too: women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from these families often have to live alone. Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs, and they have not much free time.
(33)
A．There were only grandparents and children.
B．There were many relatives.
C．There was one father, one mother, and their children.
D．There were two or more brothers with their wives.

请阅读Passage 2，完成第小题。
The use of deferential language is symbolic of the Confucian ideal of the woman， which dominates conservative gender norms in Japan. This ideal presents a woman who withdraws quietly to the background， subordinating her life and needs to those of her family and its male head. She is a dutiful daughter， wife， and mother， master of the domestic arts. The typical refined Japanese woman excels in modesty and delicacy; she "treads softly in the world"， elevating feminine beauty and grace to an art form.
Nowadays， it is commonly observed that young women are not conforming to the feminine linguistic ideal. They are using fewer of the very deferential "women"s" forms， and even using the few strong forms that are known as "men"s." This， of course， attracts considerable attention and has led to an outcry in the Japanese media against the defeminization of women"s language. Indeed， we didn"t hear about "men"s language" until people began to respond to girls" appropriation of forms normally reserved for boys and men. There is considerable sentiment about the "corruption" of women"s language—which of course is viewed as part of the loss of feminine ideals
and morality——and this sentiment is crystallized by nationwide opinion polls that are regularly carried out by the media.
Yoshiko Matsumoto has argued that young women probably never used as many of the highly deferential forms as older women. This highly polite style. is no doubt something that young women have been expected to "grow into"——after all， it is assign not simply of femininity， but of maturity and refinement， and its use could be taken to indicate a change in the nature of one"s social relations as well. One might well imagine little girls using exceedingly polite forms when playing house or imitating older women——in a fashion analogous to little girls" use of a high-pitched voic to do "teacher talk" or "mother talk" in role play.
The fact that young Japanese women are using less deferential language is a sure sign of change——of social change and of linguistic change. But it is most certainly not a sign of the "masculization" of girls. In some instances， it may be a sign that girls are making the same claim to authority as boys and men， but that is very different from saying that they are trying to he "masculine". Katsue Reynolds has argued that girls nowadays are using more assertive language strategies in order to be able to compete with boys in schools and out. Social change also brings not simply different positions for women and girls， but different relations to life stages， and adolescent girls are participating in new sub-cultural forms. Thus what may， to an older speaker， seem like" masculine" speech may seem to an adolescent like "liberated" or "hip" speech.

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send. . . " and so on？ Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. Think how much practice that gets!Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one.
Some people try at home, with books and records or tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him.

A. speak your native language better
