Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to 
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
 FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES
 Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a 
“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for 
the
family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do 
much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
 These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with 
the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the 
evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the 
laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
 Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband 
and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For 
example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife 
cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
 Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child 
care from grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents 
are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care 
help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the 
high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
 Parents may get another kind of help fromthe companies they work for. Many companies 
now let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their 
children. Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these 
men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.
 These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand 
their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives 
may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each 
other.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to 
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
 Global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount
on record in 2010. Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on
Sunday by the Global Carbon Project.
 Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since 
the Industrial Revolution. The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make 
it difficult, if not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades.
 The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. 
In the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009, but rose 
by over 4 percent in 2010, the new analysis shows.
 “Each year, emissions go up, and there’s another year of negotiations, another year of 
indecision,” said Glen P. Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research. “There’s no evidence that this path we’ve been following in the last 10 
years is going to change.”
 Scientists say the rapid growth of emissions is warming the Earth and putting human welfare 
at long-term risk. But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions 
have met sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher 
energy costs.
 The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed 
the wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions. In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels 
and the production of cement sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, the 
new analysis found, with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries.
 On the surface, the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made 
headway in stabilizing their emissions. But Dr. Peters pointed out that, in a sense, the rich 
countries have simply exported some of them.
 The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of 
energy-intensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import. “All that 
has changed is the location in which the emissions are being produced,” Dr. Peters said.
 Many countries, as part of their response to the economic crisis, invested billions in programs 
designed to make their energy systems greener. While it is possible, the new numbers suggest 
they have had little effect so far.
43. Many governments in the world resist limiting emissions because_______.
A. it is not the best way to solve such problems
B. they don’t realize the risks of carbon emissions
C. it would probably harm human welfare in the long run
D. they are unwilling to accept higher energy costs
44. According to the passage, the report found that the burning coal accounts for_______
of the increase in total emissions.
A. more than half B. one-third C. only about 7 percent D. over 4 
percent
45. According to Glen P. Peters, we can learn that________.
A. the rapid growth of emissions contributes to potential risks for humans
B. rich countries actually take more responsibility for the growth of emissions
C. human beings will follow the same path of negotiations in the next 10 years
D. some countries negotiate together yearly whether to reduce the amounts of emissions
46. The word “urgent” in the passage is closest in meaning to_________.
A. needful B. pressing C. related D. unsolved
47. The word “go up ” in the passage is closest in meaning to_________.
A. decline B. reduce C. fluctuate D. increase
48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Emissions in the United States dropped by about 7 percent in 2010.
B. Developing countries will produce less emissions with economic development.
C. There is a long way to go for many countries to limit the fast growth of emissions.
D. Over 50 percent of the growth in emissions resulted from the burning of fossil fuels.
49. The phrase “On the surface” in the seventh paragraph means most nearly the same as 
_________.
A. Not thought about deeply or thoroughly B. Just the tip of the iceberg
C. Judging from what can be seen
D. To all intents and purposes
