.阅读理解
A
Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women，according to a new study.For men，getting married saves an hour of housework a week.“It's a wellknown pattern，”said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research.“Men usually work more outside the home，while women take on more of the housework.”
He points out that differences among households (家庭) exist.But in general，marriage means more housework for women and less for men.“And the situation gets worse for women when they have children，”Stafford said.
Overall，times are changing in the American home.In 1976，women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweepinganddusting work，compared with 17 hours in 2005.Men are taking on more housework，more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework，about 12 weekly hours，while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most－about 21 hours a week.
Men showed a somewhat different pattern，with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men.Single men worked the hardest around the house，more than that of all other age groups of married men.
Having children increases housework even further.With more than three children，for example，wives took on more of the extra work，clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands'10 hours.
语篇解读：本文描述了一个很普遍的社会现象：男性和女性做家务的时间随着时间的推移会发生一些变化。
1.According to the “wellknown pattern”in Paragraph 1，a married man.
A.takes on heavier work
B.does more housework
C.is the main breadwinner
D.is the master of the house
解析：推理判断题。结合第一段内容，特别是最后一句“Men usually work more outside the home，while women take on more of the housework.”可判断男人作为家庭中的支柱——养家糊口的人，从事的家务劳动相对较少，这是众所周知的生活模式。
答案：C
2.How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s？
A.About 28.
B.About 26.
C.About 13.
D.About 6.
解析：细节理解题。第三段中的“Men are taking on more housework，more than doubling their housework hours from six in l976 to 13 in 2005.”表明：在20世纪70年代男人做家务的平均时间是每周6小时。
答案：D
3.What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text？
A.An unmarried man.
B.An older married man.
C.A younger married man.
D.A married man with children.
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段的内容可知，老年男人比年轻男人做的家务多，单身男人做家务最卖力，比其他年龄组的男人都卖劲。
答案：A
4.What can we conclude from Stafford's research？
A.Marriage gives men more freedom.
B.Marriage has effects on job choices.
C.Housework sharing changes over time.
D.Having children means doubled housework.
解析：推理判断题。根据Stafford的研究和文章中的大量数字可知，随着时间的推移男女做家务的时间也在发生着变化。
答案：C
B
(2010·保定市高三调研)
One night I was sitting in my kitchen halflistening as 15yearold Tommy fought with his 12yearold brother Kevin.I didn't pay attention when Kevin charged up
the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20 minutes later，as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin inside the bathroom.I knocked on the door and asked，“Hey Kevin，do you want to talk？”
No response.
I tried again，“Why don't you come out of there？”
No response again.
So，joking around，I grabbed some index cards(索引卡)and a pencil and wrote，“If you don't want to talk，we can write notes to each other.”
An hour later I was sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with stacks(大量)of index cards in front of me from Kevin.As I read one of Kevin's notes，tears came to my eyes.It said，“Nobody in this family cares about me.I'm not the youngest，and I am not the oldest，and I am not the talented.Tommy thinks I'm stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he is good at basketball.And you are never around to even notice me.”
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him，“You know Kevin，I really do love you and I am sorry I don't always show it.I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”
There was no response for a while，but then I heard a tearing sound coming from the inside of the bathroom.Kevin，who had run out of index cards，wrote on a torn up paper cup，“Thanks”.
I wrote back，“For what？”It returned to me with“loving me”written on it.
Since then，I try my best to give more attention to my family members.Kevin and I have a closer relationship now，and sometimes when one of us noticed the other is upset，we'll smile and say，“Write it on a piece of card？”
5.Kevin stayed alone in the bathroom crying mainly because.
A.his elder brother，Tommy，had a fight with him
B.his face was hurt
C.his mum never paid attention to him
D.he thought nobody in this family loved him
解析：细节理解题。从第七段中Kevin写在卡片上的话可知D项正确。
答案：D
6.What might be the reason that Kevin thought his dad didn't like him？
A.Kevin was not good at playing basketball.
B.Kevin was always alone，not communicating with others.
C.Kevin often cried and talked less.
D.Kevin was not as talented as his brother.
解析：推理判断题。从“Dad wishes...because he is good at basketball”可知，Kevin的爸爸想让另一个叫Kevin的孩子做自己的儿子是因为这个孩子擅长打篮球，由此可知“我”的儿子Kevin不擅长打篮球，并觉得爸爸因此而不喜欢他。
答案：A
7.What did the mother learn from this family affair？
A.She must stop fighting between family members.
B.Everyone should show his love and care to the family members.
C.The best way of communicating with family members is to write.
D.It is hard to make friends with her children.
解析：推理判断题。从“我”与儿子用卡片交流，使儿子重新感觉到家庭的温暖及最后一段中此后作者尽力给家庭成员更多的关爱可推知B项正确。
答案：B
8.It can be implied from the text that.
A.Kevin was not a brave and talktive boy
B.Tommy was always fighting with Kevin
C.Kevin and Tommy would never fight with each other again
D.Kevin's mother was a patient and caring mother

答案：D
