Part IV Reading Comprehension (20%)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by
some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and
D). You should decide on the best choice.
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
“Family” is surely an elastic (弹性的) word. But when British people say that
their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow,
peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone
in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, each British marriage
suggests the starting of a new and independent family—and then, the
tremendous significance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the
woman, marriage means going away from one’s parents and starting one’s
own life. From that moment on, the man’s first duty will be to his wife, and the
same is to the wife. He will have a total responsibility for her financial support,
and she for the running of the new home. They together will be responsible for
their children as well as alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s,
nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with
them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice know that in the
past the girl’s parents made arrangements on marriage among wealthy families,
that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter,
preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him in the end to
ask their permission of marrying her. Before that, the girl was protected and
maintained in the parents’ home, and the relief of getting rid of her in finance
could be seen in their giving the newly married couple an amount of money
called a dowry (嫁妆). Today it is very different. Most girls now get a job
when they graduate and before they get married, they are financially
independent. This has caused two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and
she gets no dowry.
1. The purpose of the writer saying that “‘Family’ is surely an elastic
word” is to tell .
A) different families have different styles of life.B) different definitions could
be given to the word “family”
C) different countries have different families
D) different families in different time
2. The husband’s duty in an English family is .
A) independent while the wife is dependent
