题型：辽宁省中考真题难度：来源：
New York is America"s largest city, however, it may also be the country"s loneliest city. People living
alone make up forty-eight percent of all households (家庭) on the island of Manhattan.
"I think it"s the best way to live," James Combo, a 35-year-old New York musician said,"If you want to
make a mess, you can make a mess. If you want to paint the walls a certain color, you can do it."
In the USA, there are more single-person households than classic nuclear families----a married couple and
their natural children----according to a latest report. Other cities with high percentages (百分比) of single
households are Washington DC, St. Louis, Denver and San Francisco.
The high number of single households shows today"s values. People living alone, especially unmarried
women used to have something to do with sadness. That feeling is no longer true. Self-esteem (自尊) isn"t
based on having children and being married any more.
B. most of the people there often live alone.
C. there are nearly half of single-person households.
D. people can do what they like by themselves.
B. The high number of single households shows today"s values.
C. People living alone make up 48% of all households in the world.
D. Unmarried women used to have something to do with sadness.

| Yellowstone is a huge park covering over 3,400 square miles in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. It can be reached by air to Cody or Jackson, 50 miles from the entrances (入口) . There is no train service nearby. Limited (有限的) bus service is used from some of the towns near it. Once in the area, a car is almost a must. The park has 5 entrances, which are open from May to October . It is a good idea to plan a trip during the good weather, but except big crowds and show traffic. Parts of the park are open in the winter for snow sports. Be sure to come prepared for different weather at any time of the year. Take enough of your clothing so you will be prepared for unexpected changes in temperature. Take good walking shoes and thick socks, if you are going to do any hiking.

We were told what we should and shouldn"t do (for example, "Don"t talk to the stars"), and then (B) 我们一直等到五点钟. That"s when the stars started coming. The show started at six o"clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when someone came put to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette (香烟), we were told to go and sit in their seat.

| Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother"s Camp (营地). There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone. At Mother"s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, "Mom, what"s for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can"t find any clean socks."In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.
