They walked without an appointment（预约）into the outer 36 of Harvard’s pres ident. But they were 37 by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them, 38 that the couple would finally become 39 and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though 40 .A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a 41 face. The lady told him, “We had a son that 42 Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was 43 here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to 44 a memorial（纪念物）to him, somewhere on campus.”The president wasn’t 45 . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this 46 would look like a cemetery（墓地）,” “Oh, no,” the lady 47 quickly. “We don’t want to put up a statue.

Although 40 percent said that the main reason for going away is to escape pressure (压力) from work, almost all said they worry more than they do at home. Only four in every 100 said that they are happy and free of care.The most common worry is burglary ( 入室盗窃) , with four out of 10 worrying about their homes being broken into while they’re abroad. More than a quarter fear they will feel crazy with some other noisy and rough holiday-makers and 22 percent worry they may be attacked or their possessions will be missing. One in five think the car may break down; and the same number worry about the chances of bad weather.The survey also showed that the stay-at-home Americans are no more. Three out of every five want to have a holiday abroad, a great increase from the figures only three years ago. The hotel holiday is still a winner, with about one third of all Americana preferring to go on a self-catering ( 自助) holiday.56. The underlined word “survey” in the first paragraph most probably means ______.A. researchB. reviewC. exhibitionD. examination57. According to the text, about ___ of people worry more on holiday than when they are at home.A. 25%B. 40%C. 80%D. 95%58. The third most common worry of American holiday-makers is that they may ______.A. be attacked or lose their possessionsB. have problems with their cars on the roadC. have bad weather on holidayD. get mixed with some rough fellow holiday-makers59. Where do American holiday-makers like to stay most?A. At a hotel.B. In a quiet place.C. At a friend's house.D. Where they can cook for themselves.BWhen a rather dirty , poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins , do you hurry on , not knowing what to do , or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money ? What should our attitude to beggars be ? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories . It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from . It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly , most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves .But has the world changed ?Maybe what was morally（道德方面）right in the old days ,when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help ,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars .Let us look at their arguments.First ,some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging .Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(恶行).Secondly ,there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer ,wine or drugs .Thirdly ,there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor ,but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people .Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion ;there are various cases and we must deal with them differently .A few coins can save a life in some situations ,and even if the money is wasted ,that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver.60．What is mainly discussed in the passage?A．Moral deeds of people. B．Religious activities of the church.C．Moral goodness of the giver. D．Arguments on giving to beggars. 61．What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed ?”in the second paragraph? A．People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B．Some people will not do what was morally right in the past .C．We don’t meet with those who need help any more.D．Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.62．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars .B．Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C．Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D．Some beggars have no excuse for begging.63．In the last paragraph ,the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion ,because .A．the cases can be so different B．there are so many beggarsC．there is so much money wasted D．there are so many different argumentsCWalk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy ,warm ,damp and thick .But if you had been around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age ,would it have been the same ?For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted（反应）to the cold ,dry climates of the ice ages ,but until now ,no one has reached a satisfying answer.Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming . Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tones of CO2 each year; equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change? If it gets drier ,will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 ?Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.Unfortunately ,getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult .To study past climate ,scientists need to look at fossilized pollen ,kept in lake muds .Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments （沉淀物）,which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery .There are very few roads and paths ,or places to land helicopters and aero planes .Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest ,but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）.So far ,only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change. 64．The underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph means.A．cleaning up B．taking in C．wiping out D．giving out 65．How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change?A．It’ll get drier and continue to remove CO2 .B．It’ll remain steamy ,warm ,damp and thick .C．It’ll get warmer and then colder and drier.D．There is no exact answer up to present.66．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A．It’s important to drill dee p down into lake sediments to collect information.B．It’s impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.C．It’s hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest.D．It’s necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate.67．The best title for this passage may probably be .A．Studies of the Amazon B．Climates of the AmazonC．Secrets of the Rainforests D．Changes of the RainforestsDEight Days from just ￡299Departs May—October 2005Includes:●Return flights from 8 UK airports to Naples●Return airport to hotel transport●Seven nights’ accommodation at the 3☆ Hotel Nice●The services of guides●Government taxesJoin us for a wonderful holiday in one of Europe’s mos t wonderful corners .Long a favourite with holidaymakers—indeed the ancient Romans called the area “happy land” –this simply attractive coastline of colourful towns, splendid views and the warm Mediterranean Sea is a perfect choice for a truly memorable holiday!Choose between the peaceful traditional village of Sant’ Agata ,set on a hillside six miles from Sorrento ,or the more lively and well –known international resort （旅游胜地）town of Sorrento ,with wonderful views over the Bay of Naples.Breathtaking scenery and famous sights everywhere .From the legendary Isle of Capri to the haunting ruins of Pompeii ,and from the unforgettable “Amalfi Drive” to the delightful resorts of Positano ,Sorrento and Ravello ,the area is a feast for the eyes! Should you choose to join us ,we know that you will not be disappointed!With a choice of hotels ,and optional excursions （可选择的旅游线路）including Capri ,Pompeii and the “Amalfi Drive” ,this is a truly unmissable holiday.·Price based on two tourists sharing a twin / double room at the Hotel Nice.Like to know more? Then telephone Newmarket Air Holidays Ltd on: 0845-226-7766 (All calls charged at local rates).68．All the following are included in the price of ￡299 EXCEPT __________. A．transport between the airport and the hotel B．telephone calls made by touristsC．the services of guides to tourists D．double rooms for every two tourists 69．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To invite people to take a breath in the Bay of Naples.B．To advise people to telephone Newmarket Air Holidays Ltd.C．To persuade people to tour in the area of the Mediterranean Sea.D．To attract people to go to Sant’ Agata or Sorrento for sightseeing.70．The underlined part “the area is a feast for the eyes” in the passage means __________. A．the area is pleasing to the eye B．the area is really unforgettableC．the area catches the tourists’ eye D．the area is crowded with tourists 71．After reading the ad, one will probably join in the tour because _________.A．the sights are attractive and the tour starts in May or OctoberB．the price is low for those intending to stay at the 3☆ Hotel NiceC．the price offered is reasonable and the sights are beautifulD．good services are offered to those intending to stay in double roomsEDo you have any strong opinion on co-educational or single-sex schools?A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like thesocieties they belong to .In Hong Kong , men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basis .In many fields men are even likely to have female bosses .It is ,therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together ,go to school together ,and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separation.Some would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for personal development .Regular contact （接触）can remove the strange ideas about the opposite-sex and lead to more natural relationships .Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly even as encouraging homosexuality（同性恋）,though there is no proof that this is the case.Those who are against coeducation often also fix their attention on the sexual side .Some parents fear that close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers .They want their children to be attentive to their studies .Such parents feel uncomfortable with modern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.A stronger argument comes from research into school results .Girls grow up earlier than boys ,tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at languages .In a mixed class ,boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on the rule of troublemaker .Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed （惊动）the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes .In the UK the best schools are all single-sex ,strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer .This may ,however ,not be as simple as it looks .It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex ,rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.72．In the third paragraph ,by saying “though there is no proof that this is the case” ,the writer means that .A．students in single-sex schools will certainly become homosexualB．students in co-educational schools cannot have extreme opinionsC．students in co-educational schools are likely to be homosexualD．single-sex school conditions may or may not have effects on the students.73．All the following arguments can be found in the passage EXCEPT that .A．co-education can produce a society-like situationB．co-educational schools may lead to love affairs between boys and girlsC．co-education will help develop a better understanding about the opposite sexD．co-education can make boys perform well in mixed classes74．Alarmed by the situation ,the UK government encourages .A．co-education B．single-sex educationC．single-sex classes in co-educational schoolsD．co-educational classes in single-sex schools75．At the end of the passage the writer suggests that .A．single-sex schools are the best schools in the UKB．being single-sex does not necessarily make a school betterC．co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal developmentD．because boys cannot compete with girls in study ,they go to single-sex schools 南师大二附中2005---2006学年高三英语10月月考答题纸班级__________姓名__________ 得分_________I．听力（每条1分，共20分）II．单项填空（每条1分，共15分）III．完型填空（每条1.5分，共30分）IV．阅读理解（每条2分，共40分）V．短文改错（每条1分，共10分）Time flies as an arrow.

This was her first date, and Ro bert Rovere had just arrived to take her to a dance. She could hardly believe it was happening. During the long wait she had wondered again and again what to wear, finally putting on her favourite blouse. Now at last Robert was here. He looked beautiful to her. His hair was neatly combed and he wore a yellow sweater she hadn’t seen before. Mimi felt wond erful.As they stepped out of the door, Mimi’s mother popped out of the store and said hello to Robert. Then she put a package wrapped in white paper into Mimi’s hand.“Limburger cheese for Sally Thompson, Mimi. We got a case of imported Limburger in today. I promised Sally you’d deliver it tonight.”“Tonight!” Mimi echoed, staring down at the cheese. “Why not tomorrow?”“Sorry, but I promised Sally,” her mother said , “Well, have fun, you two.”“Oh well, Robert, let’s go,” she said.Her first date ever, her first date with Robert Rovere, and she was stuck with a large, smelly, messy package of cheese! She tried to forget it. “Here I am,” she said to herself, “going to a dance with Robert Rovere.” She glanced up at him.“That cheese smells,” he said.She held the cheese in the hand farthest from him, but the smell seemed to be crawling up her arm.They turned onto Montcalm Street. Mimi didn’t know the house number, but she thought she’d recognize the house because she’d passed there once before. “Oh, here it is.” She rang the bell but nobody answered. Then she noticed that the name under the bell wasn’t Thompson. She had come to the wrong house. Oh, how embarrassing, she thought. She dropped the cheese into her coat pocket and rejoined Robert.“Wrong house,” she said. “I was sure she lived there.”“What do we do now?” Robert asked.Mimi bit her lip. She couldn’t bring the cheese home again now. It would just have to go to the dance with her. “Let’s go,” s he said. She was so miserable she couldn’t think of anyth ing else to say, and she and Robert walked the rest of the way in a silence as thick as the bad smell of the cheese.When they arrived at the dance, the place was full of people and there was no room to hang their coats. Mimi wanted to wash her hands, but Robert led her straight onto the dance floor. Mimi noticed that Robert smelled sweet, like lily of the valley. She smelledof Limburger cheese.Mimi danced with all her heart. Robert’s eyes were closed，probably trying to forget her and her smell, she thought....56. What particular point suggests that Mimi was nervous about her date?A. She could hardly believe she had taken such a long time to get ready.B. She kept Robert waiting for a long time until she was ready.C. She spent a long time making herself look nicer.D. She wondered many times whether Robert would like the yellow sweater.57. What happened when Mimi brought the cheese to the house?A. At first Mimi didn’t realize that it was someone else’s house.B. It was not the right house but the house number was correct.C. The wrong person came to the door.D. There was no one at the Thompson’s home.58. Why did Mimi bring the cheese with her into the dance hall?A. Robert said nothing about the cheese on the way to the dance.B. She co uldn’t find any place to leave it.C. She thought the cheese was not as smelly as the lily of the valley.D. The room for hanging coats was full of people.59. Which of the following was most likely to happen in the end?A. Their first date was a success.B. The smell ruined the date.C. Robert took all the cheese after the dance.D. They quarreled over the smelly cheese.BMALA YSIA'S Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad, retired on October 31. But he didn't go quietly. In his final speech, he blamed the Jewish people for the problems between Israel and the Palestinians."The Jews have taken land of the Muslims," he said. "What if part of America was given to the Jews as Israel? Would the Americans let it happen? Of course not."His words angered many western governments, but Mahathir doesn't care. "I like to speak my mind," the 77-year-old explained. "Sometimes people don't like it. But that is what leadership is all about."Loved by some and disliked by others, his 22 years in power have seen great changes in Malaysia. He has taken it from being one of Asia's poorest countries to the world's 18th largest trading nation. It is also a peaceful country with native Malaysians living alongside minority groups. Chinese make up a quarter of the population, while a further 7.4 percent are of Inidan origin. Teenage girls wearing Muslim headscarves happily walk around large stores as ethnic Chinese play mah-jong (麻将) in nearby cafes.But Mahathir has made enemies at home and abroad and some people will be glad he has gone. The US was unhappy when he often blamed it for globalization. Meanwhile, critics say that he has limited the freedom of the Malaysian people in order to stay in control of the country. Despite this, he is a hero to leaders in Southeast Asia as well as those in the Islamic (伊斯兰) world. "He marked out the path to success for developing nations in the region to follow," said Thai President Thaksin Shinawatra.Now he just wants to enjoy his retirement and insists that he will not take on a special role in government. "I'm a nobody," he said. But many Malaysians do not agree with this.60. What does Mahathir probably mean by “But that is what leadership is all about.”?A. The Jews have taken land of the Muslines by strong power of their leadership.B. America should give part of its land to Israel though its leadership is powerful.C. Leadership has the obligation to speak up what you think is right or wrong.D. As a leader of a country, you have the right to teach those in other countries what to do and how.61. Which is NOT true about the following?A. Malaysia was no longer poor after Mahathia came into power.B. Malaysia is a country with natives and other minorities like Jews living alongside peacefully.C. Malaysia developed a lot within M ahathia’s power but freedom of Malaysians was limited.D. Mahathia’s role in the world is both a hero to leaders in Southeast Asia but also a possible enemy of somecountries.62. The best title of this passage would be __________ .A. A Religion EnthusiastB. Mahathia’s Political PolicyC. Mahathia Is MalaysiaD. Hero of the WorldCMany people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindness. Y et, dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindnes s, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”.The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country. A man’s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain(地域). So his long look continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offers this discomfort by producingmore and more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision became not clear, then is not easily seen and the result is total, even though not very long, snowblindness.Experiments led the Army to a simple method of solving this problem. Scouts, ahead of a main body of troops, are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their eyes focus on a bush and have something to see. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is solved.63. The first paragraph is mainly concerned with ____.A. need for dark glassesB. the whiteness from snowC. headaches, watering eyes and snowblindnessD. snow glare and snowblindness64. According to the author, recent work on snowblindness shows that it is caused by ________.A. exposure to bright lightB. failure to focus on an objectC. a loss of vision which doesn’t last l ongD. focusing on dark colored objects for a very long time65. Suppose you walk across a completely snow-covered area, what should you do to solve the problem ofsnowblindness?A. By wearing dark sun glasses.B. By throwing an extra pair of black shoes ahead.C. By asking the Army for help.D. By walking backwards.66. A suitable title for this passage would be ____.A. Snowblindness and How to Avoid itB. Nature’s Cure for SnowblindnessC. Soldiers in SnowD. Snow VisionDFor a 400-year-old art form, operas had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $ 145 a performance, opera goers also have a certain appearance in people’s mind: rich, well-dressed and old.But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience. It needs to keep it alive, the young and not-so-rich.Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits, old-styled theatre or band-breaking ticket prices. And because young people don’t or won’t come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.The Houston Grand Opera’s choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions (剧本) of child-friend ly operas. This summer’s production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Y oung Artists’ Training Program.67. Which is the main idea of this passage?A. Opera is famous for its long history.B. Opera is only performed for rich people.C. Young people are not interested in opera.D. Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive.68. The underlined phrase “loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes” (paragraph 2) means _______.A. breaking up the old rulesB. changing the formal suitsC. making the audience at easeD. advertising themselves69. Opera companies prefer to perform short versions because ________.A. it is hard to find long versionsB. short versions are easy to performC. they can perform in public librariesD. they can make more people come to opera70. The San Francisco Opera Company employs student actors in order to _______.A. celebrate its 75th anniversaryB. reduce the costC. attract young peopleD. make Cinderella popular71. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. the tickets for operas are very expensiveB. operas are performed in a difficult languageC. operas are not so popular an art form todayD. students enjoy performing operas very muchEDear Carol,I wear braces (牙箍) and I know I look just terrible in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?Connie N.Philadelphia, PA Dear Connie,Start by thinking about how good you are going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to liftyour spirits:●Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face andalso good for your type of hair (fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.) Choose a hairstyle that draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.●Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup, it should look natural. Blusher and lip gloss in light tones of peachor pink are best.●Be well-groomed. Neatness really counts. People see a total look about you before they ever become aware of yourbraces. And first impressions are lasting ones!72. Why did Connie write to Carol?A.Because she really care about her clothes.B. Because she cared much about her appearance.C.

Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyedpenguins in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourismon animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started.〝The animals’ welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism,〞said Rochelle Constantine of the University ofAuckland in New Zealand.56. What’s the te_t mainly about?A. Many animals are dying because of lack of money.B. There will be no ecotourism without animals.C. Ecotourism could endanger the survival of the wildlife people want to see.D. More research should be done on ecotourism.57.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the te_t?A. Many animals do not react well in their backyard..B. Polar bears in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year.D. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started.59.

Bird flu spreading in AsiaCSweden’s pop phenomenon, which started with ABBA in the seventies, has e_ploded into a large industry ranging from CD sales to concert tours. But homegrown bands and CD makers are only a part of the success. World stars are beatinga path to Sweden’s music producers whose studios and songwriters lie behindmany an American and British success.Denis Pop--- one of the greatest Swedish pop producers --- put Sweden on the map, writing and producing hit after hit for stars as the Backstreet Boys,Boll Jovi and Britney Spears. French-Canadian Celine Dion, American Boyband 98 Degreesand American singer Jennifel Lopez turn to Sweden for songs composed by musicwriter and producer Arnthor Birgison.All this has made Sweden the world’s third biggest e_porter of music But how did Sweden manage to spread its sound all over the globe?Birgison, 25, believes the traditional Swedish approach to hard work and an unfriendly climate are key to the music sensation (轰动). Besides, Swedes are also very good at speaking English, which is very. important, because very little music sung in other languages succeeds anywhere outside itshome country. Another piece in the puzzle is that Swedish children at an earlystage get to try out musical instruments and learn music theory in school, atlittle cost totheir parents.64. We can learn from the above passage that ______ .A. Sweden e_ports tile largest amount of music to the outside worldB. Swedish musical training theory is puzzling to kids of early agesC. Swedish musicians have made great contribution to world musicD. most of the western singers’ success bases on the work of the Swedishartists65. What does;ABBA’ in the opening paragraph most probably refer to?A. ,amusic group. B. Asuccessful industrialist.C. A CD maker.D. A music producer.66. Which of the followingleads to the success of Swedish music and musicians?A. Theartists’ hard work.B. Poor weatherconditions.C. Themusical training system.D. All of the above.67. If the Swedish musical artists couldn’t speak good English,____.A. theywouldn’t be able to learn the up-to-date music theoriesB. the Swedishmusic wouldn’t have been so internationally successfulC. theywould have difficulty in communicating with foreign singersD. theywouldn’t have children start to learn music at an early ageDAcross the globe, single parent homes are on the rise. In the US, the 2000 census (人口普查) showed 24.8 million, or nearly 24 percent of the nation’s 105.5million households, were traditional two-parent homes. By comparison, 9.8 million households, or 9 percent of all US households were headed by an adultraising a child alone. The 1990 census showed 26 percent of homes were led by amarried mother and father, and 8 percent of homes were led by a single parent.Similar increases occurred in other countries. In the UK, lone-parent homes increased from 3.3 percent in 1990 to 5.5 percent in 1999. Singleparenthouseholds in Australia rose from 5.8 percent in 1990 to 7.6 percent in 1999.Belgium saw the increase from 1.8 percent lo 2.7 percent during the same periodof time. These countries tend to have greater acceptance of the single parentbecause there are fewer nearby family members to disapprove, Riche, a Census Bureaudirector, said.Just as in the US, those changes raised new questions about how involved government should be. in helping single parent families.
