Traditionally, this has been as the most natural way, but singleparent families have had to face prejudices(偏见) against their lifestyle. However, the singleparent family is the fastest growing type of family. In the United States, a national survey showed that at least 50% of children will be members of a singleparent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of singleparent families.When compared to twoparent families, singleparent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money, and children receive less attention. Whats more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure(压力) of both work and home. Despite(尽管) these disadvantages, it is possible for singleparent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone.Surprisingly, singleparent families also have some advantages over twoparent families. Single parents have greater flexibility(灵活性) in spending time with children, because they dont have to consider the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued.oIts important to remember that singleparent families have, until now suffered prejudices from some people. They think that its easier for the children in singleparent families to drop out of school in teens, and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from friends, schools and communities, singleparent families become more accepted by society, and this situation is certain to improve. In the future we will probably see these prejudices disappear.（1）What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 1?A . People shouldnt have prejudices against singleparent families.B . The singleparent family is not good for raising children.C . The twoparent family is the correct way to raise children.D . 50% of children will be members of a singleparent family in the USA.（2）Which disadvantage of singleparent families is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?A . They are often in short of money.B . Children may receive less attention.C . Children also suffer from the prejudice.D . Parents are under pressure of both work and home.（3）How can single parents make their children feel more needed and valued?A . Dont consider the needs of others.B . Pay more attention to their children.C . Develop closer relationships with their children.D . Discuss and solve problems together with their children.（4）Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A . Advantages and DisadvantagesB . Changing Views on Singleparent FamiliesC . Best Lifestyle for ChildrenD . Comparing Two Types of Family18. （10分）阅读理解Carolines mom was good at making soup. She made it often. She made chicken soup. She made tomato soup.

Languages such as French and Spanish each has an official(官方的) organization that tells you whats correct. But there is nothing like that in English. So what can we do?There is, of course, Standard English. This is the kind of English you read in newspapers or in formal letters. It is also the English you learn at school or in textbooks.However, Standard English is not official English. And unbelievably, linguists（语言学家） think Standard English is on the same level as all other types of English such as Cockney English, Yorkshire English, South African English, Australian English, Singaporean English And according to linguists, there is no such thing as Standard Spoken English.English is changing all the time. Every year, new words appear and others disappear. Words change too. For example, for many years, the Latin word “agendum” was the accepted singular form and “agenda” was the plural form. However, these days, very few people use the Latin-sounding“agendum”, with “agenda” being the accepted singular form, and “agendas” the plural.Newspapers each has their own style when they write certain things. For example，The Guardian puts dates like “21 July 2011”(with the day first, followed by the month and no commas). However, the news agency Reuters writes them like this “July 21, 2011”(with the month first, and a comma(逗号) between the day and the year). Other newspapers have different ways of doing it too. So, as you can see, theres no one “correct” way -theres a variety of ways and each one is acceptable.Next time someone tells you that something is wrong, tell them that it isnt wrong, It is just English.(Each answer should be no more than four words)（1）According to passage two, how many ways can you read or learn Standard English?（2）What is the plural form of the Latin word “agendum” in the past?（3）How does the news agency Reuters write “2016年1月20日”?（4）According to passage one, what languages have official organizations that tell you what is correct?（5）According to passage three, how many types of English are mentioned except Standard English?四、 选词填空 (共1题；共6分)21. （6分）从方框中选择恰当的短语，并用其适当形式填空。so far thanks to be known as at the same time carry out take measures to（1）We should _ save these animals.（2）_ my teachers, I can catch up with my classmates now.（3）They reached the finish line _.（4）Mo Yan _ a Chinese writer.（5）_, we have finished two thirds of the task.（6）China is _ many policies to improve our environment.五、 单词拼写 (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）请用适当的词完成下面的短文,每个空只能填写一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。A 14-year-old Chinese boy SunYixiao was_his way home last Tuesday evening after school.
