B

Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”

He points out that differences among households(家庭)exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” Stafford said.

Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.

Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.

Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.

Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’10 hours.

45. According to the “well-known pattern” in Paragraph 1, a married man___________.

A. takes on heavier work B. does more housework

C. is the main breadwinner D. is the master of the house

考题 Part BDirections: Read the text, match the items (61-65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Read the texts from a magazine article in which five persons talked about their attitude to helping the people in developing countries. For question 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements given below, which is the summary of his or her speech. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Judith Rodgers:I was shocked. Last week my lecturer advised me to change a more suitable course. He said that a career in law was unsuitable for women. At first I thought he was joking, it was a stupid thing to say. Women are as intelligent as men. There are some excellent women lawyers. If he doesn't like teaching me, he should change his job. I have a right to study law. I will certainly have my career as a lawyer in the future. I don't think any male prejudice can stop me.Peter Mitchell:She's wasting her time studying law. When she gets married and has children she'll be too busy to work. I do believe that an intelligent woman can succeed in any career if she has enough strength to overcome male prejudice. But she has to decide first whether or not she wants to have children. It's impossible to have a successful career and to be a good mother at the same time. That's why all the professions are dominated by men. Women sometimes can't decide things properly, because they are too emotional.Doris Newman:What's the role of women in society today? First, as toys for men to play with — naive and charming. Second, as unpaid servants of the despotic husband — hard working and obedient. Third, as factories for producing children. This is kept throughout society, from nursery to university, from sports to politics. Nowhere are women given the same status as men. Nowhere are they allowed to think. How can we fight this discrimination? First by refusing to be played with. Second by refusing to be enslaved by marriage. Third, by refusing to have children. Finally, we must use political force to get equality of opportunity in employment and education. Women must regain their self-respect.Muriel Green:I really enjoy being a wife and a mother. I have two lovely little kids and I have a good husband who works hard to pay for everything we need. When he comes home after work he's tired and he has a right to expect the house to be clean and the dinner to be ready. I couldn't do his work and he certainly couldn't do mine. We are both happy with our work. My mother was a good mother and a good wife too. She taught me how to cook and how to sew. God creates men and women, who are different in many ways. Our place is at home. God makes women to be mothers and wives. Women's Liberation should stop interfering.Martin Kent:Until I find a job that pays me more money than my wife's getting now, I will do all the housework. Some men might laugh at me, but I don't mind. I am quite happy with this arrangement. They say that housework is a woman's job. That's stupid. If a woman has a skill and get a good salary, why shouldn't she work? My wife is a beautician and she loves her work. I take care of our two kids, drive them to school, prepare dinner for the family and do all the household choirs. I get plenty time to play with my kids in the open, go fishing, hunting and boating. I think this is important for their growth. Of course I also get plenty time for my own hobbies, too. I see no points in keeping my wife at home while I can do most of the repairing that she can't. By doing so, we actually save quite a lot of money. I don't understand those who think that only women can do housework. Men always do their own housework when they are single.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.&nb

考题 阅读理解Betty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles old Harold.How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa, talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?Betty shrugs.Talk? We’re friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear.Women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”.More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(情感危机).“Most women,” says Rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives”.“In general,” writes Rubin in her new book, “women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part, Rubin says , interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior”.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,” Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings.Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”6.What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that() .A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandB.women have so much to shareC.women show little interest in ballgamesD.his wife is difficult to talk to7.Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ().A.a male friendB.a female friendC.her parentsD.her husband8.According to the text, which type of behavior. is NOT expected of a man by society?()A.Ending his marriage without good reason.B.Spending too much time with his friends.C.Complaining about his marriage trouble.D.Going out to ballgames too often.9.Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?()A.Men keep their innermost feeling to themselves.B.Women are more serious than men about marriage.C.Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.D.Women depend on others in making decisions.10.The research done by psychologist Rubin centers on() .A.happy and successful marriageB.friendships of men and womenC.emotional problems in marriageD.interactions between men and women

考题 请阅读短文,完成此题。 It is frequently assumed that the mechanization of work has a revolutionary effect on the livesof the people who operate the new machines and on the society into which the machines have beenintroduced. For example, it has been suggested that the employment of women in industry takethem out of the. household, their traditional sphere and fundamentally alter their position in society.In the nineteenth century, when women began to enter factories, Jules Simon, a French politician,warned that by doing so, women would give up their femininity. Fredrich Engels, however,predicted that women would be liberated from the"social, legal, and economic subordination" ofthe family by technological developments that made possible the recruitment of "the whole femalesex .., into public industry." Observers thus differed concerning the social desirability ofmechanization's effects, but thev agreed that it would trmsiorm women's lives. Historians, particularly thnse investigating the history of women, now seriously question thisassumption of transforming power. They conclude that such dramatic technological innovations asthe spinning jenny, the sewing tnachine, the typewriter, and the vacuum cleaner have not resultedin equally dramatic social changes in women's economic position or in the prevailing evaluation ofwomen's work. The employment of young women in textile mills during the Industrial Revolutionwas largely and extension of an older pattern of employment for young, single women as domestics.It was not the change in office technology, but rather the separation of secretarial work, previouslyseen as an apprenticeship for beginning managers, from administrative work that in the 1880'screated a new class of "dead end" jobs, thenceforth considered "women's work". The increase inthe numbers of married women enployed outside the home in the twentieth century, had less to dowith the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it didwith their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool ofsingle women worke, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire. Women's work has changed considerably in the past 200 years, moving from the household tothe ofiice or the factory, and later becoming mostly white-collar instead of blue-collar work. Fundamentally, however, the conditions under which women work have changed little since the Industrial Revolution: the segregation of occupatious by gender, lower pay for women as a group,jobs that require relatively low levels of skill and offer women little opportunity for advancement all persist, while women's household labour remains demanding. Recent historical investigation has led to a major revision of the notion that lec.hnology is always inherently revolutionary in its effectson society. Mechanization may even have slowed any change in the traditional position of womeu both in the labour market and in the home. Why did the numbers of married women employers increase in the 20th century? 查看材料A.The mechanization of housework. B.The married women have much spare time. C.The employers don't want to hire the single women. D.Because of their own economic uecessity and high marriage rates.

考题 共用题干 第一篇A New Strategy to Overcome Breast CancerPost-menopausal(绝经后的)women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly,a study has suggested.The report,which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking.UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk.A recent poll for the charity Ramblers found a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week, but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study,,published in Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73,615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group.They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking , swimming and aerobics(有氧运动)and how much time they spent sitting,watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at, two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009.Of the women,47%said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14%lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.Dr.Alpa Patel,a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atianta Georgia,who led the study,said:"Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking,promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity,just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women." " More strenuous(紧张的) and longer activities lowered the risk even more."Baroness Delyth Morgan,chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign,said:"This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporated into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference."She added:"We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place.The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer."Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A:Most women take walking as their only recreational activity.B:The study aims to track the health conditions of its subjects.C:Irregular walking increased the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women.D:Walking was the only recreational activity for about half of the women surveyed.

考题 Text 3 Family caregivers provide essential,often unpaid work in the U.S.:they help family members with tasks like bathing and eating,coordinating insurance coverage and managing medications.But what a caregiver looks like in America is changing.Although the typical unpaid family caregiver is a 49-year-old white woman,about 10 million Americans between ages 18 and 34,of all different backgrounds,are now the caregivers for a family member or friend,according to a new report by AARP.One out of four family caregivers in the U.S.is a millennial.And as Baby Boomers age and need more support,this young group is becoming an increasingly important part of the caregiving workforce.More than half of millennial caregivers are now people of color,according to the report,and they are more likely than any other generation to balance caregiving with employment.Nearly three quarters of millennial caregivers are employed,according to the new report,and 53%work full time.They also spend an average of 21 hours per week on caregiving,or the equivalent of a part time job.More than one in four millennials spends over 20 hours each week providing care,and roughly one in five provides care for at least 40 hours each week."Many of these millennials are not just working and providing this care,but are trying to figure out,ihow do I balance all of this?"'says Jean Accius,an expert on long-term care services and supports at the AARP's public policy institute,which provides guides for different communities of caregivers."At this time in their life,a typical milleruual may be thinking about going on vacation,hanging out with friends and potentially getting married,but these millennials are doing things like wound care and bathing."The report finds that Latino millennials often face increased pressure,as they work more hours each week on average and spend more time providing care than young adults of other backgrounds.Some of this has to do with the fact that Hispanuc Americans are more likely to live in multi-generational households,Accius says.Tasks like navigating govemment health systems or coordinating care between multiple providers can also be particularly challenging for families that have members whose first language is not English.Another common source of stress is the impact that caregiving responsibilities can have on a person's career.54%of millennial caregivers say that caregiving has impacted their job in significant ways,according to the report.Yet millennials are much less likely to tell their supervisors or colleagues at work about their caregiving responsibilities,meaning they are often navigating alone.One sign of progress is that millennial men are nearly as likely to provide care as women,according to the report."The way that millennials think about gendered work or gendered care roles is changing,"says Whiting."The U.S.is already facing a shortage of caregivers,and the increasing gender and racial diversity of millennial caregivers will be necessary to support all those who need help in the future:'she says."We see,especially among millennials,that everybody bears some responsibility,and we need to care for each other." The millennial men's participation in caregiving would_____A.provide great help in the future B.be responsible to care for each other C.change people's opinion on gendered work D.be helpful to address shortage ofcaregivers

考题 共用题干 Just one hour's listening to an MP3 player can damage hearing,claim scientists.It causes temporary changes in hearing sensitivity which may lead to long-term harm,according to a new study.The findings show over -stimulation of hair cells within the ear occurs even at varying volume levels for short periods of time.The study of almost 60 young people carried out by researchers at Ghent University,Belgium,is published in the Archives of Otolaryngology -Head&Neck Surgery journal.It follows previous warnings from doctors that using MP3 players at high volumes with earphones that fit into the ear canal could lead to loss of hearing. In the latest study,21 people aged 19 to 28 years were exposed to pop and rock music using MP3 players at varying volumes for one hour. A second group of 28 men and women were a control group who were not exposed to MP3 music.Hearing tests were carried out before and after the exposure,which found significant threshold or emission shifts were observed between almost every session of the noise exposure group compared with the control group.Lead researcher Hannah Kempler said:Excessive noise exposure can lead to metabolic and mechanical effects resulting in alterations of the structural elements of the inner ear that contains auditory sensory cells or"hair cells".The European Commission has warned up to 10% of 30-year-old would have to wear a hearing device within the next decade because they listen to music too loudly through headphones.Surveys showed more than 90% of young people in Europe and the U.S.used MP3 players,often for several hours a day at maximum volume.Hearing experts recommend the 60/60 rule一listening to MP3 players for no more than 60 minutes at a time at 60% of maximum volume.Concern among EU health and safety officials has led to plan to ensure all MP3 players have the same maximum volume of 85 decibels(dB)一although users may be able to individually override it at their own risk. According to the surveys,most young people in both Europe and the U.S.used MP3 players for too long hours at maximum volume.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

考题 Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey. Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills ) , while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects). Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline ( 衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline.Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England. People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g."object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing.The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter were typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average.And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A.Men do better than women when it comes to learning English. B.Women stand out at remembering people's names. C.Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time. D.Women excel at dealing mathematic problems.
