In comparison with most other places in the world, family identity is rather weak in Britain,
especially in England. Of course, the family unit is still the basic living arrangement for most


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

people. But in Britain this definitely means the nuclear family. There is little sense of extended
family identity, except among some racial minorities. This is reflected in the size and composition
of households.
It is unusual for adults of different generations within the family to live together. The
average number of people living in each household in Britain is lower than in most other European
countries. The proportion of elderly people living alone is similarly high.
Significant family events such as weddings, births and funerals are not automatically
accompanied by large gatherings of people. It is still common to appoint people to certain roles on
such occasions, such as ‘best man’ at a wedding, or godmother and godfather when a child is born.
But for most people these appointments are of sentimental significance only. They do not imply
lifelong responsibility. In fact, family gatherings of any kind beyond the household unit are rare.
For most people, they are confined to the Christmas period.
Even the stereotyped nuclear family of father, mother and children is becoming less
common. Britain has a higher rate of divorce than anywhere else in Europe except Denmark and the
proportion of children born outside marriage has risen dramatically and is also one of the highest
(about a third of all births). However, these trends do not necessarily mean that the nuclear family is
disappearing. Divorces have increased, but the majority of marriages in Britain (about 55%) do not
break down. In addition, it is notable that about three-quarters of all births outside marriage are
officially registered by both parents and more than half of the children concerned are born to
parents who are living together at the time.
Today, in Britain, many couples, mostly in their twenties or thirties, live together without
getting married. Only about 60% of those couples will eventually get married. 40% of children in
Britain are born to these cohabiting parents. In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between
the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Unmarried couples are also starting families

without first being married. Before 1960, this was very unusual, but in 2001, around 23% of births
in the UK were to cohabiting couples.
Question 46. In Britain, the term family should usually be understood as ____________.
A. extended

B. nuclear

C. single-parent

D. cohabiting

Question 46. Roles such as best man, godfather are only of _________ values.

C. important

D. rare

A. weddings

B. funerals

C. Christmas

D. births

The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City. For a long time, it
has been the newspaper of record in the United States and one of the world’s great newspapers. Its
strength is in its editorial excellence; it has never been the largest newspaper in terms of circulation.
The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the
news in a restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for
the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience. However,
in the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid,
newspapers in New York City. Despite price increases, the Times was losing $1,000 a week when
Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.
Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily. He hired Carr Van Anda as
editor. Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his
reporters maintained and emphasized existing good coverage of international news. The
management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine
section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a penny. In April 1912, the paper took many risks to
report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic. This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its reputation for excellence in world
news.
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret
government study of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. When it published the report, it became
involved in several lawsuits. The U.S. Supreme Court found that the publication was protected by

the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Later in the 1970s,
the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in
the organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition transmitted by
satellite to regional printing plants.
Question 55. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A) The New York Times publishes the best fiction by American writers.
(B) The New York Times became highly respected throughout the world.
(C) The New York Times broadcasts its news to TV stations via satellite.
(D) The New York Times lost its prestige after the Vietnam War.
Question 56. It can be inferred from the passage that the circulation of the Times is _________.
(A) not the largest in the world.

(B) not the best in the world.

(C) the smallest in the world.

(D) the worst in the world.

Question 57. Which phrase is closest in meaning to the word “restrained” as it is used in paragraph
2?
(A) Put in prison

(B) In handcuffs

(C) Without education

(D) With self-control

Question 58. According to the passage, what caused the loss of money at the Times?
(A) Other newspapers were more colorful.

(B) Other newspapers had better reporters.
(C) Other newspapers added a Sunday magazine.
(D) Other newspapers were better managed.

EXCEPT:

(A) decreased when it lowered its price to a penny
(B) grew because Adolph Ochs bought it in 1896
