The so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe,
reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups,
(26) today the diversity is even more obvious.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American
families fit the traditional mold of two parents and their children, and another third consists of married
couples               (27) either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about
20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five
years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who              
(28) to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single parents, with at least one child.
There are               (29) reasons for the growing number of single-parent households. First, the
number of births to unmarried women has increased dramatically. In addition, a               (30) number of
adults become single parents as a result of divorce. Finally, a small percentage of deaths result in single-
parent families. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal.

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 from 31 to 35.
For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back
to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have
something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called “latchkey children”. They are
children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject
of concern.
           Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule
against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly
telling them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they
meant.” Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.
           She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working
couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children at
home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened. Many had
nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
            The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a
shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume up. It’s hard to get
statistics on latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most parents are slow to admit that they leave their
children alone.
Question 31: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How kids spend free time.
B. Why kids hate going home.
C. Bad condition of latchkey children.
D. Children’s activities at home.
Question 32: What is the most common way for latchkey children to deal with fears?
A. Hiding somewhere C. Talking to the Longs
B. Having a shower D. Lying under a TV

Question 33: Why did a lot of kids have chains around their necks with keys attached?
A.  They had to use the keys to open school doors.
B.  Schools didn’t allow them to wear jewelry, so they wore keys instead.
C.  They were fully grown and had become independent.
D.  They would use the keys to enter their houses when they came home.
Question 34: The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to              .
A. children B. teachers C. parents D. the Longs
Question 35: The phrase “latchkey children” in the passage means children who             .
A. close doors with keys and watch TV by themselves. 
B. like to carry latches and keys with them everywhere.
C. are locked inside houses with latches and keys.      
D. look after themselves while their parents are not at home.

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 from 36 to 42.
Nuclear family, also called elementary family, in sociology and anthropology, a group of people
who are united by ties of partnership and parenthood and consisting of a pair of adults and their socially
recognized children. Typically, but not always, the adults in a nuclear family are married. Although such
couples are most often a man and a woman, the definition of the nuclear family has expanded with the
advent of same-sex marriage. Children in a nuclear family may be the couple’s biological
or adopted offspring.
Thus defined, the nuclear family was once widely held to be the most basic and universal form of
social organization. Anthropological research, however, has illuminated so much variability of this form
that it is safer to assume that what is universal is a “nuclear family complex” in which the roles of husband,
wife, mother, father, son, daughter, brother, and sister are embodied by people whose biological
3
relationships do not necessarily conform to the Western definitions of these terms. In matrilineal societies,
for example, a child may be the responsibility not of his biological genitor but of his mother’s brother, who
fulfills the roles typical of Western fatherhood.
Closely related in form to the predominant nuclear-family unit are the conjugal family and
the consanguineal family. As its name implies, the conjugal family is knit together primarily by the
marriage tie and consists of mother, father, their children, and some close relatives. The consanguineal
family, on the other hand, typically groups itself around a unilineal descent group known as a lineage, a
form that reckons kinship through either the father’s or the mother’s line but not both. Whether a culture is
patrilineal or matrilineal, a consanguineal family comprises lineage relatives and consists of parents, their
children, and their children’s children. Rules regarding lineage exogamy, or out-marriage, are common in
these groups; within a given community, marriages thus create cross-cutting social and political ties
between lineages.
The stability of the conjugal family depends on the quality of the marriage of the husband and wife,
a relationship that is more emphasized in the kinds of industrialized, highly mobile societies that frequently
demand that people reside away from their kin groups. The consanguineal family derives its stability from
its corporate nature and its permanence, as its relationships emphasize the perpetuation of the line.

A. The definition of nuclear family. B. The type of nuclear family.
C. The component of nuclear family D. The relationship of nuclear family

A. There are some similarites between conjugal and consanguineal family
B. The conjugal family depends on marriage to knit its members and close relatives.
C. The consanguineal family relies on both father’s and mother;s line to form its group.
D. The consanguineal family only consists parents and their children.

A. the permanence’s B. the nature’s
C. the stability’s D. the consanguineal family’s
Question 42: What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
