When they need advice, they don’t usually ask people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which advice give on many subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, how to buy a house or a car, and so on.Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters are answers written by people who are supposed to solve (解决) such problems. Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to “Dear Abby”. The other is addressed as “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for giving advice.There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Caveliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers, now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin ina column called DEAR ANGEL.66、For advice Americans usually write to _________.A、their family membersB、there friendsC、Angel CaveliereD、newspapers or magazines67、“Abby ”and “Ann Landers” are probably________.A、real names of two womenB、two experienced doctorsC、two famous lawyersD、pen names of women68、Which of the following is likely true according to the passage?A、Angel Caveliere is loved by many American young readersB、Angel died youngC、Angel has much more experience than the other writers with specialtrainingD、Angel is famous for her good knowledge of all the subjects69、The Philadelphia Bulletin seems to be________.A、a city in AmericaB、a kind of publicationC、a publishing houseD、a school or university 70、The best title for the passage is________.A、Two Famous Women WriterB、Angel Caveliere and Her AdviceC、Getting Advice from StrangersD、The Strange AmericansDDuring the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old and up. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.This important change in women’s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women economic (经济的) position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married their school-leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to fuller part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage (婚姻), with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.71、We are told that in a family about 1900________.A、few children died before they were fiveB、seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC、the youngest child would be fifteenD、four or five children died when they were five72、One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she______.A、is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB、does not like children herselfC、needn’t worry about food for her childrenD、can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty73、Many girls are now likely to_______.A、give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB、leave school as soon as they canC、marry so that they can get a jobD、continue working until they are going to have a baby74、According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to _______.A、stay at home after leaving schoolB、marry men younger than themselvesC、start working again in lifeD、marry while still at school75、Now a husband probably_________.A、plays a greater part in looking after childrenB、helps his wife by doing much of the houseworkC、feels dissatisfied with his part in the familyD、takes a part-time job so that he can help in the home第三节．完型填空(用所给词的适当形式填空 30’)ARare designed decorated style doubtFancy dynastics amazing worth jewelsChen lei studied art history and the early __1_ of China in a university.He was able to recognize the __2__ of different cultural relics from former times,especially the Tang and Song dynasties.
