第四部分 阅读理解
1、There have been changes in all sorts of different areas of British society. In recent years in the UK we have had a very large increase in the number of couples who get divorced.
After 1969 and the Divorce Law Reform Act we had a very rapid increase in the number of divorces. The rate increased steadily and in recent years has increased much more rapidly. But there are also quite a lot of people who do actually get married. At present the marriage rate in the UK is about 70 per cent, which has gone down since the number of people who marry has gone down quite a lot in the last 20 years, but more significantly in the last 10 years. Quite high proportions of people now live together without marrying, and, for example, 40 per cent of children born in the UK are born to couples who aren't married or are born to lone parents. There are quite a large number of lone parent families, 90 per cent of these are headed by a woman rather than a man. The average family size now in the UK is 1.8 children per couple, which means that there's been quite a decline in the birth rate in the UK along with other European countries.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss? C. The increasing divorce rate in the UK. √
2. During the last ten years, ____.A. the marriage rate has gone down more rapidly in the UK √

2、People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances(物质) into the environment环境, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.
Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of(处理); drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can’t be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.
1. The main cause of pollution is __ .A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment √
2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only ____. C. all sides concerned would make more efforts √
3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause _____.B. both a litter problem and a waster of resources √
4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution? C. Eating. √
5. What does the underlined word “litter” mean in paragraph 2? C. industrial pollution √
3、A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we stopped talking to each other. I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and – poof! – I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation. The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact. 。。。。。。。。。。。。More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out “Gee whiz”?
1. The author’s experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel ____. A. unhappy  √
2. According to the author, human contact in a park means ____. C. both A and B  √
3. According to the author, the more connected we get in communications technology, the ___ we are. B. more disconnected 
4. What are the examples the author gives to explain his idea that every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of human interaction? C. All of the above. √ 5. What is the unintended result of communication technology, according to the author? B. It actually creates a distance between people instead of bringing them together.
