【题目】阅读短文,下列问题
B
My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren't families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! Most families have a car now. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now children don't. And in school, the children don't have to think anymore. In math class,for example, we used to add, subtract (减), multiply (乘) and divide (除) in our heads. Kids don't use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators (计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past, we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now fewer and fewer people eat home-cooked food.
And people don't talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...
Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore.
(1)What does the writer's grandfather think of the life now?
A.He thinks the life is the same as it used to be.
B.He thinks the life now is worse than it used to be.
C.He thinks the life now is better than it used to be.
D.He thinks the life now is very good.
(2)What does the underlined word “marriage” mean?
A.生活
B.工作
C.婚姻
D.家庭
(3)What has happened to students these years according to the passage?
A.The students don't have to think anymore in school.
B.The students use calculators in math class.

D.All of the above.
(4)What changes have happened to families?
①There are lights at home.
②People like to eat home-cooked food.
③Lots of families have computers.
④Lots of couples live apart because of unhappy marriage.

(5)Which is right according to the passage?

(1) B 由第一段的第二句“...and he often says that life used to be better.”可知B项正确。
(2) C 由后句“他们不再待在一起”可判断是“婚姻”出了问题。
(3) D 由文章第三段可知,A、B、C三项均是学生的变化,故选D。

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, nor a world record broken, but a show of someone’s strong determination to win.
The event was a swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them made mistake when they started, so they were kicked out. That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is what’s important.
I watch the man jump into the water and knew right away that something was wrong. Now I’m not an expert swimmer but I do know a good jump from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he was swimming, the crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man that was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. He tried his best, but clearly he was exhausted.
But when they saw the man keeping on trying , they stopped laughing and beginning to cheer. Some even to stand and say: “Come , you can do it!” and “ Go for it!”
A few minutes later ,this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never swam, let alone raced. His country had been asked to Sydney as manners.
In a competition where players remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch this game.
A man that gave his all-knowing that he had no chance, but competed because of the spirit of the games.
