第7题：
B
Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”
He points out that differences among households（家庭）exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” Stafford said.
Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.
Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.
Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’10 hours.

A. takes on heavier work B. does more housework

第10题：
It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.
［A］ the dream to build interplanetary Internet can be fulfilled in the future
［B］ interplanetary Internet will be commercialized in 100 years
［C］ the research of Internet took 50 years
［D］ it will take a long time to build interplanetary Internet
本题考查考生的推理引申能力。文章最后一段所做的假设（在今后50年内仅仅是研究项目的东西，在100年后完全有可能商业化）以及与因特网发展历程的比较，都是塞尔夫为了说明建立星际因特网在未来是有可能实现的，所以［A］项正确。文中提到100年只是一种假设，［B］项将其确定为商业化实现的时间，不正确。同样，［C］项将假设中的50年确定为因特网的研究年限，也不正确。该段中塞尔夫的一番话表达了他对星际因特网的建立怀有比较乐观的态度，而不是说明它需要花很长时间才能实现，［D］项不正确。
