Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Child labor – the employment of children in industry, often against their will – has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small

industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.

Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending schools. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.

The solution to the problem of child labour is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision (监督) of industry and heavier fines (罚款) for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives – childhood.

11. Which of the following statements is true according to the first paragraph?

A. Children are often willing to work in large factories.

B. Most children are working in British factories.

C. The working conditions for children have been improved since Dickens’s times.

D. Charles Dickens described in his novels the poor working conditions for child labor.

12. The conditions under which young children work ______.

A. have improved since a hundred years ago

B. are even worse than those a hundred years ago

C. are similar to those a hundred years ago

D. are exactly the same as those a hundred years ago

13. Girls' work is _____.

A. not harmful to the health though it is heavy

B. not harmful to the health because it is light

C. harmful to the health though it is light

D. harmful to the health because it is heavy

14. Young children go to work _____.

A. because they are forced to

B. in order to be skillful in a certain kind of work

C. in order to earn money for education

D. in order to be paid well

15. To solve the problem of child labor, the writer suggests the following BUT _____.

A. looking over factories more closely

B. raising their payment and improving the system of education

C. improving laws of protecting children's interests

D. punishing lawbreakers with severer fines

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

Thanksgiving Day is a day for giving thanks to God for blessings received during the year. On this day, people give thanks with dinner and prayer (祈祷).

The first Thanksgiving Days in New England were harvest celebrations, or days for thanking God for plentiful crops. For this reason, the holiday still takes place late in the autumn, after the crops have been gathered. For thousands of years, people in many parts of the world have held harvest celebrations.

In the United States, Thanksgiving is usually a family day, celebrated with big dinners and pleasant gathering of family members. The very mention of Thanksgiving often brings back memories of kitchens and storerooms crowded with good things to eat. Thanksgiving is also a time for serious religious thinking, church services, and prayer.

The first Thanksgiving in New England was celebrated in Plymouth less than a year after
