23、 found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as“womens work”.The g
24、ap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality is achieved, the study concluded. The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more eq

This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just
26、 90 minutes every day.But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxfords Department of Sociology, said,“weve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given acc

Policies made by the government.C .The time spent on work.D. The type of housework.DA recent study led by researchers from the National University
31、of Singapore (NUS) has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibili
32、ty (能见度) of yellow makes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team an
33、alysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6. 1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.They also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in
34、 the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio (比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76. 6 fewer accidents will occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of
35、six days, the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of $2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate (证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For example, we hope to compare the accident rates of
36、 yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we re also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors explained Prof Ho.32. Why do yellow ta
37、xis result in fewer accidents?A. Because yellow signals a warning of danger.B. Because yellow can be seen more easily.C. Because drivers tend to he more careful in yellow taxis.D. Because people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.33. What s Prof Hos study based on?A. Physical risks taxi passeng
38、ers experience.B. The economic effect of changing taxi color.C. Personal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.D. Data from Singapores largest taxi company.34. What do Prof Hos words in the last paragraph suggest?A. School buses should be painted yellow.B. Their findings are worth popularizing.C. Thei
39、r study will be furthered.D. Yellow should be widely used in public transport,35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Safer to ride in yellow taxisB. Caution: yellow taxis aheadC. Why are yellow Taxis preferred?D. How can colors help prevent accidents?第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能
