    　　Recent studies suggest that family arrangements in Western societies have not changed as much in the last few centuries as is generally believed．Yet most sociologists agree that in modern societies, there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support from relatives．Parents and children often live apart from other relatives, and seldom visit them．Also, the family moves when a parent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a better neighbourhood．Together, loneliness and mobility(迁移)force immediate family members to depend heavily on one another for affection and companionship．

    　　Because the family is one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modem societies, a high, percentage of people continue to marry, even though it is possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying．On the other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important, families are more likely to break up if the husband’s or wife’s emotional(情感的)needs are not met within the family circle-even if al1 other family functions(功能)are being satisfactorily performed, and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the touchstone of the modem family．

    (1)

    It is generally believed that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    many people spend their lives in familiar communities

    B．

    a person can easily get in touch with relatives in times of difficulty

    C．

    the organization of the family has changed a great deal

    D．

    Western societies have not changed much in the past few years

    (2)

    Sociological studies show that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the more the family moves, the less support it gets from its distant relatives

    B．

    parents and children live together to make up for the lack of relatives outside the family

    C．

    family arrangements have changed and so there is little need for companion of relatives

    D．

    family members are separated from each other because of lack of support from relatives

    (3)

    The underlined word in the last paragraph may be replaced by“_________”．

    [　　]

    C．

    C．

    there are few ways to gain affection and companionship but the best way to get them is from the family

    　　It's interesting to see how people make use of the time they spend on public transport in Indian cities like Delhi and Mumbai．

    　　In crowded buses and trains people manage to take a short nap and some even reach the snoring stage．Or they spread out a newspaper over multiple knees and arms to read about the latest sport results or political crisis．

    　　Then there are the experienced travellers who have been playing cards with the same group over the last decade or so．They even have their specific seats so well-worn that you can make out the shape of their backsides．

    　　There is no doubt about it．Travelling by public transport is being in the thick of the seasons of life－a sweaty life in summer where people, blissfully unaware of the rivers of sweat running down their brows and inside their clothes．At the first smell of a perfumed man or woman boarding the stuffy bus or train, most people feel they are reborn．

    　　During the rains you can't avoid getting wet or muddied．The windows, almost always, are not a perfect fit and if you're not drenched by a sudden, heavy rain shower then you are bound to catch a jet spray of muddy water caused by a fellow motorist driving fast through a puddle．

    　　Rains are a perfect time for people to switch their old umbrellas for new ones．Since there are so many that look alike, it's impossible to tell whose is whose．

    　　Winter is the time when it feels good－or at least warm－to be part of a crowd．It is amazing how much the collective breaths of a 100 or so people can raise the freezing temperature inside．Looking at the masses dressed in their bright red pullovers or green coats, it's fun to imagine what faces lie beneath their dark woolen hats．

    　　The cold winter passes, making way for spring．It is impossible not to see every little flower by the wayside blooming proudly．And the warm sun manages to transmit some of their pleasantness to the inside of a bus or train．

    　　Now, wouldn't it be perfect if we had a public transport worth the name in all our cities?

    (1)

    On Indian public transport, you can always expect to see people ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    sleeping and reading newspapers

    B．

    arguing and playing games

    enjoying the view and playing cards

    D．

    carrying umbrellas and whispering politely

    (2)

    According to the author what will make passengers feel refreshed during summer travelling?

    [　　]

    A．

    The cool evening breeze．

    B．

    The rain pouring over their clothes．

    C．

    The joy of a game of cards．

    D．

    The sweet fragrance of a new passenger．

    (3)

    If you see people in colourful clothing and breathing heavily, you are probably travelling during the ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    summer

    B．

    rainy seasons

    C．

    winter

    D．

    spring

    (4)

    [　　]

    almost everyone in India wears perfume when they go out

    C．

    the buses and trains are old and in poor conditions

    D．

    Indian transport is the most crowded in the world

    (5)

    Critical．
