第二部分： 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Washington, April4-The United States has more than 90 million families for the first time ,but each contains fewer people on average than ever ,the Census Bureau(统计局) reported today.

The 90,031,000 families in the United States averaged 2.64 members each as of last July 1.

“The reason is, in effect, changes in the age structure,” explained Campbell Gibson, a population researcher for the bureau. Most Americans born in the great explosion of births after World War II are now in their 20’s and 20’s when they are most likely to set up families, he said.

The fact that many are doing so increased the number of families from 80.4 million in 1980 to 88.8 million in 1986 and past the 90 million mark last summer . At the same time, the average number of people per family dropped from 2.75 in 1935 to 2.65 in 1986 and then to 2.64,Mr Gibson said.

By comparison, the 1970 Census found the average family contained 3.15 people. Families averaged more than four people in 1939 and more than five in 1880. The growing number of ever- smaller families is still going on, but Mr Gibson pointed out that family growth was not the same as population increase in the 1970’s. The same age factors (因素) that are increasing the number of families also happened then, but in the 1970’s the proportion(比例) of families in each age group was also growing .

That has not continued in the 1980’s for a number of possible reasons, Mr Gibson said.

For example, in the 1880’s more young people have chosen to remain home with their parents instead of setting up housekeeping on their own ,as many did in the 1970’s. This could be caused by the increasing cost of housing, he said. Delays in marriage while was not the only factor for the family changes.

21. The smaller figure of families reported here is ______.

A. 1980 B. 80,400,000 C. 2.64 D. 90 million

22. How did Mr Gibsin explain the reason of the increase in families? ______

A. About 9.96 million new families have been set up since 1980.

B. All the big families were split into smaller ones.

C. There is a great number of young people who are newly married.

D. There was a great explosion of births during the present Second World War.

23.What is the reporter’s attitude (态度) toward the present situation?______

A. People should get married at a later age .

B. The average number of family numbers should be 2.64.

C. It’s not clear in the report.

????D. Young people should set up housekeeping on their own ,as many did in the 1970’s.

24. From the last paragraph we may infer that _____.

A. delay in marriage will not help the number of families

B. delay in marriage is the major factor of the family changes

C. the writer felt sorry that many young people now delay their marriages

D. there must be some other factors which have led to the slower family growth in the 1980’s.

B

Could a CD player, a laptop computer or a hand-held video game send an airline off course?

Unless you are born with feathers, flying requires faith. Passengers have to believe, once on board the plane, that a 227000kg machine moving extremely fast in the air is firmly in the pilot’s control. That faith was shaken last week by a report that a DC-10 plane coming into New York’s Kennedy airport recently almost crashed(撞毁) when a passenger in the first class turned on his portable compact disc player.

The story, first published in Time Magazine, set off people’s concern. Can airplanes really be made to change their courses by something as small as a battery-powered CD player? Or a video-game machine? Or any of a dozen electronic gadgets(小器具) and computers that passengers regularly carry on board?

Although it may sound impossible, it can’t be ruled out. Every electrical device creates a certain amount of radiation. Portable phones, remote-control toys and other radio transmitters send out signals that can carry for kilometers, and their use on planes has long been cassette players, tape recorders and laptop computers, which make far less electromagnetic(电磁的) noise.

Now there is increasing proof that even these gadgets may be putting aircraft at risk. A walkman-type radio tuned to an FM station produces oscillations(振荡) that can reach 1.5m to 3.5m-far enough, in some planes, to reach the navigation(导航) equipment in and around the cockpit (驾驶员座舱).

No planes have crashed and no lives have been lost so far. But Time Magazine has got quite a few pilot reports linking a series of “anomalies”(异例) to a wide variety of electronic gadgets, from laptop computers to Nintendo Game Boys. In one striking example, a plane flying out of Chicago started going off course while its VOR dials became unclear and danced around. When the passenger in seat 9-D turned off his laptop, the report states, the “panel lights immediately brightened and all navigation aids returned to normal.”

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, pressed by pilots to punish the gadget holders on board, published an advisory late last week that Delta Airlines has already made longer its list of forbidden devices to include video playback machines and CD players.

With the arrival of new “fly-by-wire” aircraft, which are heavily computerized and even more easily to be interfered with, passengers may have to go back to reading paperbacks and watching the in-flight movies.

25. The purpose of this article is to inform the readers of______.

A. the risks connected with flying modern computerized planes

B. the conditions connected with taking off and landing in modern planes

C. the risks connected with using electronic devices while flying in modern planes

D. the conditions connected with sitting within 3.5m off the cockpit in a modern plane

26. The following are four points made in the article, Which is the right order of what happened?

1) Many pilots have reported incidents of interference.

2) It is possible that electrical devices are dangerous.

3) Delta Airlines have forbidden CD players.

4) Passengers put their trust in pilots.

A.1,3,2,4 B.4,2,1,3 C.2,3,4,1 D.4,3,1,2

27. Which one of the following statements is true according to the information presented?

A. Remote-control toys are likely to produce radiation.

B. A DC-10 almost crashed while taking off from Chicago airport.

C. Walkman radios give off signals that can carry for several kilometers.

D. The greatest risk to DC-10 planes comes from electromagnetic interference.

28. According to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the best advice to offer someone who was about to travel on a plane would be______.

A. don’t use any electronic devices while
