12、time ,but each contains fewer people on average than ever ,the Census Bureau(统计局) reported today.The 90,031,000 families in the United States averaged 2.64 members each as of last July 1.“The reason is, in effect, changes in the age structure,” explained Campbell Gibson, a population researcher for
13、the bureau. Most Americans born in the great explosion of births after World War II are now in their 20s and 20s when they are most likely to set up families, he said.The fact that many are doing so increased the number of families from 80.4 million in 1980 to 88.8 million in 1986 and past the 90 mi
14、llion mark last summer . At the same time, the average number of people per family dropped from 2.75 in 1935 to 2.65 in 1986 and then to 2.64,Mr Gibson said.By comparison, the 1970 Census found the average family contained 3.15 people. Families averaged more than four people in 1939 and more than fi
15、ve in 1880. The growing number of ever- smaller families is still going on, but Mr Gibson pointed out that family growth was not the same as population increase in the 1970s. The same age factors (因素) that are increasing the number of families also happened then, but in the 1970s the proportion(比例 )
16、 of families in each age group was also growing .That has not continued in the 1980s for a number of possible reasons, Mr Gibson said.For example, in the 1880s more young people have chosen to remain home with their parents instead of setting up housekeeping on their own ,as many did in the 1970s. T
17、his could be caused by the increasing cost of housing, he said. Delays in marriage while was not the only factor for the family changes.21. The smaller figure of families reported here is _.A. 1980 B. 80,400,000 C. 2.64 D. 90 million22. How did Mr Gibsin explain the reason of the increase in familie
18、s? _A. About 9.96 million new families have been set up since 1980.B. All the big families were split into smaller ones.C. There is a great number of young people who are newly married.D. There was a great explosion of births during the present Second World War.23.What is the reporters attitude (态度)
19、 toward the present situation?_A. People should get married at a later age .B. The average number of family numbers should be 2.64.C. Its not clear in the report.D. Young people should set up housekeeping on their own ,as many did in the 1970s.24. From the last paragraph we may infer that _.A. delay
20、 in marriage will not help the number of familiesB. delay in marriage is the major factor of the family changes C. the writer felt sorry that many young people now delay their marriagesD. there must be some other factors which have led to the slower family growth in the 1980s.BCould a CD player, a l
21、aptop computer or a hand-held video game send an airline off course?Unless you are born with feathers, flying requires faith. Passengers have to believe, once on board the plane, that a 227000kg machine moving extremely fast in the air is firmly in the pilots control. That faith was shaken last week
22、 by a report that a DC-10 plane coming into New Yorks Kennedy airport recently almost crashed(撞毁) when a passenger in the first class turned on his portable compact disc player.The story, first published in Time Magazine, set off peoples concern. Can airplanes really be made to change their courses
23、by something as small as a battery-powered CD player? Or a video-game machine? Or any of a dozen electronic gadgets(小器具) and computers that passengers regularly carry on board?Although it may sound impossible, it cant be ruled out. Every electrical device creates a certain amount of radiation. Porta
24、ble phones, remote-control toys and other radio transmitters send out signals that can carry for kilometers, and their use on planes has long been cassette players, tape recorders and laptop computers, which make far less electromagnetic(电磁的) noise.Now there is increasing proof that even these gadge
25、ts may be putting aircraft at risk. A walkman-type radio tuned to an FM station produces oscillations(振荡) that can reach 1.5m to 3.5m-far enough, in some planes, to reach the navigation(导航) equipment in and around the cockpit (驾驶员座舱).No planes have crashed and no lives have been lost so far. But Tim
26、e Magazine has got quite a few pilot reports linking a series of “anomalies”(异例) to a wide variety of electronic gadgets, from laptop computers to Nintendo Game Boys. In one striking example, a plane flying out of Chicago started going off course while its VOR dials became unclear and danced around.
27、 When the passenger in seat 9-D turned off his laptop, the report states, the “panel lights immediately brightened and all navigation aids returned to normal.” The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, pressed by pilots to punish the gadget holders on board, published an advisory late last week that
28、 Delta Airlines has already made longer its list of forbidden devices to include video playback machines and CD players.With the arrival of new “fly-by-wire” aircraft, which are heavily computerized and even more easily to be interfered with, passengers may have to go back to reading paperbacks and
29、watching the in-flight movies.25. The purpose of this article is to inform the readers of_.A. the risks connected with flying modern computerized planesB. the conditions connected with taking off and landing in modern planesC. the risks connected with using electronic devices while flying in modern
30、planesD. the conditions connected with sitting within 3.5m off the cockpit in a modern plane26. The following are four points made in the article, Which is the right order of what happened?1) Many pilots have reported incidents of interference.2) It is possible that electrical devices are dangerous.
31、3) Delta Airlines have forbidden CD players.4) Passengers put their trust in pilots.A.1,3,2,4 B.4,2,1,3 C.2,3,4,1 D.4,3,1,227. Which one of the following statements is true according to the information presented?A. Remote-control toys are likely to produce radiation.B. A DC-10 almost crashed while t
32、aking off from Chicago airport.C. Walkman radios give off signals that can carry for several kilometers.D. The greatest risk to DC-10 planes comes from electromagnetic interference.28. According to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the best advice to offer someone who was about to travel on
33、a plane would be_.A. dont use any electronic devices while your plane is in the airB. make sure that you are 3.5m from the cockpit before using electronic devicesC. tune into AM radio stations while using your walkman if the plane is in the airD. check on whether the electronic devices you plan to t
34、ake on board have been forbiddenCTea vs CoffeeTea and coffee are two of the most widely consumed drinks in the United States. With popularity and interest in tea continuing to grow in recent years, many consumers have recently considered making the switch from coffee to tea, if they have not done so

All tea
37、 comes from the harvested leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, while there are about 60 different species of coffee plants. Production of tea is quicker and more efficient: Camellia sinensis plants only need to grow for three years before they are ready to process; coffee plants take up to five ye
38、ars.Perhaps the most concerning issue consumers have when considering making the switch to tea is the question of caffeine. The good news is, when it comes to tea and caffeine, there is something for everyone. Unlike coffee, which typically only comes in decaffeinated and regular, there are several
39、varieties of tea available, based on caffeine preference. From herbal teas that are naturally free of caffeine, to high quality green and black teas that offer less than half the caffeine of coffee, to high caffeine teas such as our specially formulated HiCAF blends that contain slightly more caffei
40、ne than a cup of coffee, there is a variety sure to suit your needs. As an added bonus, the lower acidity levels in tea tend to be gentler on the stomach for a more comforting pick-me-up.So what is the answer, coffee or tea?
