Passage Two
Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.
The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.
The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by dash

Passage Three
There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now, things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off. You can't entirely blame men for this change in manners, though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men, not just equality in jobs or education, but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea.
It's no wonder then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, the man's active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.
71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowed bus or train, a gentleman would probaby . . A. stand up and offer her his seat B. read his newspaper
C. look out of the window D. not stand up and offer her his seat 72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is . . A. really bad B. strange enough C. not entirely wrong D. entirely wrong 73. The new generation of women wants to be . . A. treated not as the weaker sex B.

Some women may get angry if you open the door for them. B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at all
C. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them D. A girl may be unangry if you insist on paying her share of the bill. 75. From the passage, we know that . .

8
B. men have given up some politeness they used to show to women C. women often get angry of you’re polite to them D.women should stand in the bus or train
Passage Four
“ Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.
For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one′s parents and starting one′s own life. The
man′s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife′s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife′s parents nor the husband′s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen′s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl′s parents, that is, it was the parents′ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents′ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. 76. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”? A.Different families have different ways of life. B. Different definitions could be given to the word. C. Different nations have different families. D.Different times produce different families. 77. For an English family, the husband′s duty is ____. A. supporting the family while the wife is financial
B. defending the family while the wife is running the home C. financial while the wife is running the home

D. independent while the wife is dependent 78. Everything is decided in a family ____.
A.by the couple B. with the help of their parents C. by brothers and sisters D. with the help of aunts and uncles 79. What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice? A. It is the best book on marriage. B. It is a handbook of marriage.
C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past. D. It provides a lot of information of formertime wealthy families.
80.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____. A. the right marry B. more parental support C. choosing husbands D. social position
