Directions: In this
section there are four passages followed by a
total of 15 multiple-
choice questions
and 5 short answer questions. Please read the
passage and
answer the
question
on the
ANSWER SHEET
.
TEXT
A
Among
the
government’s
most
interesting
reports
is
one
that
estimates
what
parents
spend
on
their
children.
Not
surprisingly,
the costs
are
steep.
For
a middle-
class, husband-and-wife family
(average pretax income in 2009: $$76,250), spending
per child is about $$12,000 a year. With
inflation the family’s spending on a child will
total $$286,050 by age 17.
The
dry statistics ought to inform the ongoing deficit
debate, because a budget is
not just a
catalog of programs and taxes. It reflects a
society’s priorities and values.
Our
society does not— despite
rhetoric
(
说
辞
) to the contrary—put much value on
raising
children.
Present
budget
policies
tax
parents
heavily
to
support
the
elderly.
Meanwhile, tax breaks
for children are modest. If deficit reduction
aggravates these
biases, more Americans
may choose not to have children or to have fewer
children.
Down that path lies economic
decline.
Societies
that
cannot
replace
their
populations
discourage
investment
and
innovation. They have
stagnant
(
萧
条的
) or shrinking markets for goods and services.
With
older
populations,
they
resist
change.
To
stabilize
its
population—discounting
immigration—women must have an average
of two children. That’s a fertility rate of
countries with struggling economies
are well below that.
Though
having
a
child
is
a
deeply
personal
decision,
it’s
shaped
by
culture,
religion,
economics, and government policy. “No one
has
a
good answer” as to why
fertility
varies
among
countries,
says
sociologist
Andrew
Cherlin
of
The
Johns
Hopkins
University.
Eroding
religious
belief
in
Europe
may
partly
explain
lowered
birth
rates.
In
Japan
young
women
may
be
rebelling
against
their
mothers’
isolated
lives
of
child
rearing.
General
optimism
and
pessimism
count.
Hopefulness
fueled
4
America’s baby boom. After
the Soviet Union’s collapse, says Cherlin,
“anxiety for
the future” depressed
birth rates in Russia and Eastern
Europe.
In poor societies, people have
children to improve their economic well-being by
increasing the number of family workers
and providing supports for parents in their
old age. In wealthy societies, the
logic often reverses. Government now supports the
elderly, diminishing the need for
children. By some studies, the safety nets for
retirees
have
reduced
fertility
rates
by
0.5
children
in
the
United
States
and
almost
1.0
in
Western
Europe,
reports
economist
Robert
Stein
in
the
journal
National
Affairs.
Similarly, some couples don’t have
children because they don’t want to sacrifice
their
own lifestyles to the lime and
expense of a family.
Young
Americans
already
face
a
bleak
labor
market
that
cannot
instill
(
注入
)
confidence
about having children. Piling on higher taxes
won’t help, “If higher taxes
make it
more expensive to raise children,” says Nicholas
Eberstadt of the American
Enterprise
Institute, “people will think twice about having
another child.” That seems
like common
sense, despite the multiple influences on becoming
parents.
1. What do we learn from the
government report?
A) Inflation
increases families’ expenses.
B) Raising
children is getting expensive.
C) Budget
reduction in around the corner.

Average family expenditure is
increasing.
2. What is said to be the
consequence of a shrinking
population?
A) Weakened national
strength.

Increased immigration.
D) Social instability.
3. What accounted for
America’s baby boom?
A) Optimism for the
future.
C) Religious beliefs.
B)
Improved living conditions.
D) Economic prosperity.
4. Why do people in wealthy
countries prefer to have fewer
children?
A) They want to further
improve their economic well-being.
B)
They cannot afford the time and expenses of
rearing children.
C) They are concerned
about the future of the coming
generation.
D) They don’t rely on their
children to support them in old age.
5.
What is the author’s purpose in writing the
passage?
A) To instill confidence in the
young about raising children.
B) To
advise couples to think twice before having
children.
C) To encourage the young to
take care of the elderly.
D) To appeal
for tax reduction for raising
children.
