Severalyears ago, people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as anadvantage. That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide forthe family. But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year,having a big family is no longer considered to be a practical option. In fact, more couplesconsider that they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all.According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years, wereconsiderably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) orfour or more children (19%). However, taken together, women were still more likely to have hadthree or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%).In recent years, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children atrend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006).These days, most families in Australia have two children. But the number of women whohad given birth to a single child increased progressively from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006.The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in Americatoday. This comprises 20% of the childrens population compared to only 10% around fiftyyears ago.操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。C1.

Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? 回正确答案是： AA. Families Having Fewer Children Nowadays.B. Couples Having More Children Nowadays.C. Women Being Likely to Have More Children.解析：1. 这是一道细节题。本题询问 “几年前，人们认为拥有大家庭？ ” ，第一段第二句话告诉读者 “ 人们认为有个大家庭，很常见，而且大家庭也被认为是个优势 ”，所以选 C。2. 这是一道细节判断题。第二段第一句话意为 “而综合来看，妇女仍然有可能要三个或更多个孩子而不是要两个孩子（其比例为 46% vs. 36% ）”，此句表明有可能要多个孩子，所以选 B。3. 这是一道细节判断题。本题询问 “近年来，妇女有可能要多少个孩子？ ” ，第三段第一句话告诉读者妇女更有可能要 2 个而不是 3 个或更多个孩子，所以选 C。4. 这是一道推断题。 按照短文内容， 我们可以了解到现今澳大利亚大部分家庭拥有 2 个孩子， 而要 1 个孩子妇女数量 （increased progressively ）逐渐增加，所以我们推断将来拥有 1 个孩子的家庭会显著增多，所以选 B5. 这是一道主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲过去有个大家庭（多生孩子），很常见，而且大家庭也被认为是个优势。但近几年来，由于生活成本逐年增长，拥有大家庭已不再是一个现实的选择，妇女愿意要3 个或更多个孩子的越来越少。而如今澳大利亚大部分家庭拥有 2 个孩子，要 1 个孩子的家庭逐年递增。所以选 A 。单元自测 2题目为随机，用查找功能（ Ctrl+F ）搜索题目题目： Do you mind if I record your lecture? . 答案：No，not at all.题目： Linda, whats wrong with your grandmother? . 答案：She hurt her leg.题目： Im sorry to hear that your grandmother is ill in hospital. 答案： Its very kind of you.题目： Is your grandmother getting well now? . 答案：Yes, she is much better now.题目： Looking after a baby is not an easy job, is it? . 答案：No, it isnt.二、阅读短文子问题 1：A; 子问题 2：B; 子问题 3：B; 子问题 4：A; 子问题 5：C单元自测3题目为随机，用查找功能（Ctrl+F ）搜索题目题目： He asked John _ he could swim. 答案： if题目： He is worth _. 答案： trusting题目： John asked me _ to visit his uncles farm with him. 答案： whether I would like题目： She _ the children not to make any noise. 答案： told题目： She is a _ woman. 答案： confident young题目： She said she _ lost a pen. 答案： had题目： There is only one thing that people cant _you, and thatis your wisdom.答案： take away from题目： We found him _ in the laboratory. 答案： working题目： We must keep our classroom _. 答案： clean题目： Youd better _ to hospital at once. 答案： go二、阅读理解：选择题子问题 1：C; 子问题 2：C; 子问题 3：A; 子问题 4：B; 子问题 5： B二、阅读理解：正误判断子问题 1：F; 子问题 2：T; 子问题 3： T; 子问题 4：F; 子问题 5：F单元自测4题目为随机，用查找功能（Ctrl+F ）搜索题目题目： I have trouble in _ my homework. 答案： doing题目： This plant cant be exposed _strong sunshine. 答案： to题目： Brand was Janes brother! he reminded me so much ofJane!答案： No wonder题目： How about going to the cinema? _ 答案：Sounds like a good idea!题目： May I open the window to let in some fresh air?_ 答案： Go ahead!题目： Ok, Ill fix your computer right now.

As for the same offenses, the court would consider an adult as a “criminal ”. “Statusoffenders ” are juveniles who commit offenses appropriate only to juveniles, such as truancy fromschool. Here are a few ideas to help prevent your children from being a delinquent. Keep yourchildren in school to help prevent delinquency. Minor offenses, such as truancy, can lead to moreserious offenses. Make clear to your children your expectations about their school attendance.Meet with school officials if necessary. Exercise adequate supervision. Juveniles rarely commitserious offenses while under the supervision of an adult. Seek the assistance of your local serviceagencies if you feel you cannot control your children. Attend parenting classes, or join a localsupport group if you are having trouble understanding how to exercise discipline. Educate yourchildren about the dangers of drugs. Drug offenses and addiction can have serious consequencesfor your children. Let your children know you will not tolerate drug use. Stay informed about druguse trends in children. Get your children involved in after-school recreational activities, sports,community service or other positive activities. Young people with positive outlets for their energyare more likely to do well in school and avoid the problems of delinquency. Know who yourchildrens friends are. Show an interest in your childrens social life and peer groups. Peer pressuremay have a bad effect on teenagers and young people. Do not allow your children to associatewith juvenile delinquents.子问题 1：F; 子问题 2：F; 子问题 3：T; 子问题 4：T; 子问题 5：T单元自测 5题目： I have no idea _ to make my speech interesting. 答案：how题目： My suggestion is that Tom _ to see a doctor at once. 答案：go题目：- Im sorry for breaking the cup.- Oh, _ .
