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 a single increased from only 8% in 1981 to***

birth to child progressively 13% in 2006.

The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America

today. This comprises the children's compared toonly 10% 20% of population around fifty***

5. 这是一道细节题。本题询问 “几年前，人们认为拥有大家庭？ ” ，第一段第二句话告诉读 者“ 人们认

为有个大家庭，很常见，而且大家庭也被认为是个优势”，所以选 C 。 6. 这是一道细节判断题。第二段第一句话意为“而综合来看，妇女仍然有可能要三个或更多个孩 子而不是

要两个孩子（其比例为 46% vs. 36% ） ”，此句表明有可能要多个孩 子，所以选 B 。

7. 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 。 8. 这是一道推断题。 按照短文内容， 我们可以了解

9.到现今澳大利亚大部分家庭拥有 2 个孩子， 而要 1 个孩

子妇女数量 （ increased progressively ）逐渐增加，所以我们推断将来拥 有 1 个孩子的家庭会显著增多， 所以选 B

10. 这是一道主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲过去有个大家庭（多生孩 11.子），很常见，而且大家庭也被认为是个优势。但近几年来，由于生活成本 12.逐年增长，拥有大家庭已不再是一个现实的选择，妇女愿意要

3 个或更多个孩子的越来越少。而如今澳大利 亚大部分家庭拥有 所以选 A 。

二、阅读理解：正误判断he law defines youthful offenders (age 18 or under) as

“ delinquent ”if they

commit

offenses. As for the same offenses, the court would consider an adult as a “ criminal

” . “Status

offenders ” are juveniles who commit offenses appropriate only to juveniles, such as

truancy from

school. Here are a few ideas to help prevent your children from being a delinquent.

Keep your

children in school to help prevent delinquency. Minor offenses, such as truancy, can

lead to more

serious offenses. Make clear to your children your expectations about their school

attendance.

Meet with school officials if necessary. E x ercise adequate supervision. Juveniles rarely

commit

serious offenses while under the supervision of an adult. Seek the assistance of your

local service

agencies if you feel you cannot control your children. Attend parenting classes, or join

a local

support group if you are having trouble understanding how to exercise discipline.

Educate your children about the dangers of drugs. Drug offenses and addiction can have serious

consequences

for your children. Let your children know you will not tolerate drug use. Stay informed

about drug

use trends in children. Get your children involved in after-school recreational

activities, sports,

community service or other positive activities. Young people with positive outlets for

their energy

***

are more likely to do well in school and avoid the problems of delinquency. Know who

your

children's friends are. Show an interest in your children's social

life and peer groups. Peer pressure may have a bad effect on

teenagers and young people. Do not allow your children to

associate with juvenile delinquents.***
