［2012哈尔滨模拟］

The website “FarmersOnly. com” calls itself an online dating and friendship finder. The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.

As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one

day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.

So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You don’t have to be a farmer to be on FarmersOnly. com, but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s Heartland. ”

You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58, 000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.

Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, singlesinag. org, says there are more than 1, 000 members across the nation and as far as France.

1. Jerry Miller started FarmersOnly. com in order to _______. A. help farmers

B. represent farmers D. understand farmers

C. support traditions

2. Which of the following is true of singlesinag. org? A. It provides dating services. B. Only farmers can become its members. C. Its services are free.

［2012长沙模拟］

In America it is common for children as young as four to participate in organized activities. Piano and ballet lessons, scouts meetings, soccer and softball practices surround their normal school schedules. However, one person is very important in the logistics of how these children are able to get from swimming practices to French lessons: The Soccer Mom.

The Soccer Mom is a very important stereotype in American suburban life. The phrase Soccer Mom was first created in 1995 and broadly refers to a married middle-class woman who lives in the suburbs, works outside the home and has school age children. Much of her time is spent managing her children’s schedules and transporting them to sporting events and other activities. The image of the Soccer Mom conjures a busy woman who drives a minivan large enough to contain her children,

their friends and their sporting equipment. Once they arrive at the sporting event or other activities, the Soccer Mom will stay to watch, serving granola bars and juice to their children after their game or activity is finished.

In America, the roles of mother and of career woman demand opposite responsibilities from a woman. The role of a career woman is to work hard and climb the corporate ladder, while the role of mother often asks women to put her family’s interests ahead of her own. The Soccer Mom attempts to straddle this divide, at once balancing her children and their activities with her own life outside her family. The Soccer Mom becomes overburdened with the weight of responsibilities. A 1999 poll states that being stressed out is one of the most frequently mentioned characteristics of a Soccer Mom. Yet without Soccer Moms, who would fill the responsibilities of getting children to where they needed to be? 5. The best title for this passage is “_______ ”. A. The Hectic Lifestyle of Suburban Children B. The American Family

C. Minivans the Realm of the Soccer Mom D. Soccer Moms in American Society

6. The main role of Soccer Moms is _______. A. transporting their children B. buying things for their children C. pushing their children to achieve D. a successful career

7. Why are American mothers stressed out?

A. Because they are very career centered. B. Because they work and have children. C. Because they push their children to achieve. D. Because their husbands are lazy.

8. What does the underlined part “climb the corporate ladder” mean? A. Working.

B. Having a career as a woman. C. Advancing your career. D. Working in a ladder factory.
