是對婦女的傳統(tǒng)觀念是什么。從文章第一段最后一句我們知道，傳統(tǒng)觀念中婦女的作用僅限于照顧家庭，可見，她們對經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的影響微乎其微。所以D正確。12、TheEritreangovernmentisofferingextrafoodtogirlsinschoolinorderto________.A、encouragetokeepgirlsathomeB、changetraditionalattitudestowardswomenC、helpgirlsfeedtheirfamiliesD、creatmorejobsforEritreanteachers標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：問題是厄立特里亞政府給到學(xué)校上學(xué)的女孩提供更多的食物目的何在？第三段中間說到“…thegirlsreceivemorefoodthantheboys.Thisway,parentsareencouragedtosendtheirdaughtertoschoolratherthankeepingthemathome…”顯然，政府此舉在于改變對婦女的傳統(tǒng)觀念。13、WiththeFoodforLearningprogram,womengetalargepackageoffoodaslongas________.A、theyattendfreeliteracyclasseseverydayB、theyhavenolandoftheirownC、theybringuptheirfamiliesontheirownD、theyliveinrefugeecamps標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：問題是在什么情況下婦女可以得到一大包食物。第五段第三句“Inreturn,thewomenarerequiredtoattendfreeliterateclasses.”即只要她們參加免費的識字課就可以領(lǐng)到食物，所以選A。14、Thenewliteracyprogramsareanexampleof________.A、theworkof5000womenandteenagegirlsB、theproblemswiththeaidofinternationalorganizationsC、localandinternationalorganizationsworkingtogetherD、theEritreangovernmentworkingtokeepitspower標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點解析：問題是新掃盲項目是什么的范例，第三段第一句“Todealwiththeseproblems,theEritreangovernmenttogetherwiththeWorldFoodProgram,hasanewprogramthatoffersfoodasarewardforlearning.”可見，這一項目是當(dāng)?shù)卣蛧H組織合作的結(jié)果。因此，選項C正確。15、Accordingtothepassage,FoodforTrainingwill________.A、helpwomenbettertheirlivesB、encouragewomentoleavetheircountryC、teachwomenaboutinternationalaidD、allowwomentospendmoretimeathome標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：問題是食物換學(xué)習(xí)項目的結(jié)果是什么。文中第五段的第一句“TheFoodforTrainingprogramhelpstheteenagersandwomenchangetheirlives.”顯然，該項目期望改善婦女的生活條件。TheSpanishGovernmentissoworriedaboutthenumberofyoungadultsstilllivingwiththeirparentsthatithasdecidedtohelpthemleavethenest.Around55percentofpeopleaged18—34inSpainstillsleepintheirparents"homes,saysthelatestreportfromthecountry’sstate-runInstituteofYouth.Tocoax(勸誘)youngpeoplefromtheirhomes,theinstitutestarteda"YouthEmancipation(解放)"programmethismonth.Theprogrammeoffersguidanceinfindingroomsandjobs.Economistsblameyoungpeople’sfamilydependenceontheprecarious(不穩(wěn)定的)labourmarketandincreasinghousingprices.Housingpriceshaverisen17percentayearsince2000.Culturalreasonsalsocontributetotheproblem,saysociologists.FamilytiesinsouthEurope——Italy,PortugalandGreece——arestrongerthanthoseinmiddleandnorthEurope,saidSpanishsociologistAlmudenaMorenoMinguezinherreport"TheLateEmancipationofSpanishYouth:KeysforUnderstanding"."Ingeneral,youngpeopleinSpainfirmlybelieveinthefamilyasthemainbodyaroundwhichtheirprivatelifeisorganized,"saidMinguez.InSpain——especiallyinthecountryside,itisnotuncommontofindentiregroupsofaunts,uncles,cousins,niecesandnephews(外甥/侄子)alllivingonthesamestreet.TheyregularlygettogetherforSundaydinner.Parents"tolerance(寬容)isanotherfactor.Spanishparentsacceptlate-nightpartyingandarewaryofsettingbedtimerules."Achildcanarrivehomeatwhatevertimehewants.Ifparentscomplainhe’llputupabigfightandcallthefatheraFascist,"saidJoseAntonioGomezYanez,asociologistatCarlosIIIUniversityinMadrid.Mothers"willingnesstodochildren’shouseholdchoresworsenstheproblem.DionisioMasso,a60-year-oldinMadrid,hasthreechildrenintheir20s.Theeldest,28,hasagirlfriendandajob.Butlifewithmumisgood."Hismumdoesthewashandcooksforhim;intheend,heliveswell,"Massosaid.16、The"YouthEmancipation"programmeaimsathelpingyoungpeople________.A、fightforfreedomB、liveinanindependentwayC、fightagainstsocialinjusticeD、getridoffamilyresponsibilities標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：根據(jù)文章第一段“…decidedtohelpthemleavethenest…”我們知道西班牙政府的這項“青年解放計劃”旨在幫助年輕人早日離開父母獨立生活，而不是鼓勵他們逃避家庭的責(zé)任等，因此其他選項不正確。17、Itcanbeinferredfromparagraph5thatfamilytiesarestrongerinPortugalthanin________.A、FinlandB、GreeceC、SpainD、Italy標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：本段講到“FamilytiesinsouthEurope…arestrongerthanthoseinmiddleandnorthEurope.”芬蘭屬于北歐國家，而葡萄牙、希臘、西班牙和意大利都位于歐洲的南部，所以可以推斷出葡萄牙家庭的紐帶比芬蘭要強一些。18、Youngpeople’sfamilydependencecanbeattributedtoallthefollowingfactorsEXCEPT________.A、parent’stoleranceB、housingproblemsC、culturaltraditionsD、unwillingnesstogetmarried標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：從文章第四、七、九段可以得知，年輕人對于家庭依戀的主要原因有文化因素、父母的寬容以及住房的原因，但是并沒有提及他們不愿意結(jié)婚。19、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrueofDinoisioMasso?A、Sheis60yearsold.B、Shehasaboyfriend.C、Shehasthreechildren.D、ShelivesinMadrid.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：文章倒數(shù)第二段提到了她的個人情況，即A、C和D的內(nèi)容，實際情況是她的大兒子有個女朋友，所以選B。20、Thephrase"waryof"inparagraph8couldbebestreplacedby________.A、tiredofB、afraidofC、cautiousaboutD、worriedabout標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：本題屬于詞匯理解題。waryof和tiredof是近意表達(dá)，都有“厭倦、討厭”的意思；cautiousabout：對……警覺；worriedabout：擔(dān)憂；afraidof：對……害怕。Fromthehealthpointofviewwearelivinginamarvelousage.Weareimmunizedfrombirthagainstmanyofthemostdangerousdiseases.Alargenumberofoncefatalillnessescannowbecuredbymoderndrugsandsurgery.Itisalmostcertainthatonedayremedieswillbefoundforthemoststubbornremainingdiseases.Theexpectationoflifehasincreasedenormously.Butthoughthepossibilityoflivingalongandhappylifeisgreaterthaneverbefore,everydaywewitnesstheincredibleslaughterofmen,w
