“Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one´s parents and starting one´s own life. The man´s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife´s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife´s parents nor the husband´s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters. Readers of novels like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl´s parents, that is, it was the parents´ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents´ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.1.What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?A.Different families have different ways of life.B.Different definitions could be given to the word.C.Different nations have different families.D.ifferent times produce different families.2.For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.A.supporting the family while the wife is financialB.defending the family while the wife is running the homeC.financial while the wife is running the homeD.independent while the wife is dependent3.Everything is decided in a family ____.A.by the coupleB.with the help of their parentsC.by brothers and sistersD.with the help of aunts and uncles4.What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A.It is the best book on marriage.B.It is a handbook of marriage.C.It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.D.It provides a lot of information of formertime wealthy families.5.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A.the right marry B.more parental supportC.choosing husbands D.social position

Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea". Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was unwilling to go to sea to further his work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans? " had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable(电缆)from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be made. It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测深)were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book -The Physical Geography of the Sea. The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly .A.for oceanographic studiesB.for military purposesC.for business considerationsD.for investigating the depths of the oceansThe aim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was .A.to make some sound experiments in the oceansB.to collect samples of sea plants and animalsC.to estimate the length of cable that was to be madeD.to measure the depths of the two oceansThe underlined word "defied" in the 4Th paragraph probably means A.doubtedB.challengedC.gave proof toD.agreed toThe theme of this passage is about .A.the beginnings of oceanographyB.the laying of the first undersea cableC.the investigation of ocean depthsD.the early intercontinental communications
