二、阅读理解:选择题(每题10分)
Most couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan to have children. Several years ago, people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantage. That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the 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 couples consider 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, were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%). However, taken together, women were still more likely to have had three 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 – a trend 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 who had 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 America today. This comprises 20% of the children's population compared to only 10% around fifty years ago.

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。

二、阅读理解:正误判断(每题10分) Stopping Yelling At Your Kids
Parenting is hard. If you're a parent, I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I've been working on this for the past few months and I have to say, it's been amazing for both the kids and me.
If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!
One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can't expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect – taking into consideration things like their age – it can make a big difference.
You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you'd better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you'll get at communicating with them. You're both more likely to understand each other.
If your children aren't listening or it seems they only don't listen to you, you don't take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they're not going to be perfect.
操作提示:句子正确选择下拉选项框为“T”;句子错误选择下拉选项框为“F”。 1. As a parent, you may know that parenting is an easy job. 回答不正确
2. Listening to each other is a good way to stop argument between parents and their kids. 回答不正确
3. Usually younger kids behave less responsibly than elder children.回答不正确 4. Parents should lower their expectations for their kids. 回答不正确
5. Both yelling and whispering can help make things quieter. 回答不正确 反馈 解析:
1. 这是一道词义辨析题。第一句中形容词“hard”表示“艰难的”,意为”养育儿女是件艰难的事情。而题1中形容词“easy”表示“容易”,意为“作为父母,你可能知道养育儿女是件容易的事情”,与原句意义不符,所以选F。
2. 这是一道细节题。第二段的第一句话意为“如果你和孩子之间发生争执,那么你应该确保你和孩子都需要花时间去真正倾听对方的心声,所以选T。
3. 这是一道推断题。第三段的第二句话意为”你不应该期望你年幼的孩子能和年长的孩子那样,做事认真负责”,因此推断“通常年幼的孩子做事不如年长的孩子有责任感”,所以选T。
