二、2.Reading Comprehension

Part III  Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.We first think of the traditional or nuclear family. This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children. Most couples wanted to have four children, two boys, two girls.
  Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them, that is three generations. This kind of family with grandparents, parents, and grandchildren is called an extended family. This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century, but it"s becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter. This is more possible now that American homes have become larger. What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families, this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family, with just two generations again living together, a grandparent and parents, with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits.
  Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family. In the fatherless family it"s just the mother and her children. As I said, this can be the result of the husband"s death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce. There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons. A motherless family may also be fatherless, but still a family with one adult. This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter"s children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
  One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common. A single parent with one or more children will marry again. Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent. Together they will start what is called a blended family, which blends together or combines the children from two other families.

An extended family usually has ______.

A．two generations
B．three generations
C．four generations
D．one generation

2.
Who usually looks after the children in a both motherless and fatherless family in America?

A．The children"s aunt.

3.
How is a blended family formed?

A．A blended family is formed by two single-parent families.
B．A blended family is formed by a nuclear family and a grandparent.
C．A blended family is formed by a nuclear family and grandparents.
D．A blended family is formed by two fatherless families.

4.
What is true to the fact in America?

A．There are more and more members in a family.
B．There are less and less members in a family.
C．There is an increasing number of grandparents who refuse to lood after their grandchildren.

7.Key James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government, loves to turn the tables on those who don"t think it"s possible to be middle-class, conservative, educated and still be truly black. Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn"t have a clue about real African American life. "If you understood what these women go through," the woman said, "you would realize that abortion is their only choice."
  James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare. She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family. Now she discovers another child is on the way. "How would you counsel that woman?" asked James.
  "Have an abortion," the woman responded. "That child would have a very poor quality of life."
  "I have a vested interest in your answer," James said. "The woman I described was my mother. I was the fifth of six children born into poverty. And, in case you"re interested, the quality of my life is just fine!"

19.We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn"t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors."
  "Yes. I"m glad they"ve finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren"t you working late?"

25.The California condor is the largest bird in North America. It is an endangered species. 20 years ago there were less than 30 birds left. All of the birds were trapped and kept in safe places. The number of condors grew larger. Puppets that looked like condors were used to take care of babies so that more eggs could be hatched.
  In the last few years, some of the condors have been returned to the wild. But they seem to like humans now and come into danger around people. Some birds perch on houses and tear up roofs. Some have even gone into houses. Birds have been shot, poisoned, and killed by power lines.
