Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. It is well known that some cultures prefer sons to daughters. In contrast, surveys have revealed that some people would rather have a daughter than a son. Apparently, each of these preference has its explanation in the local culture . Around the world , people who prefer sons have similar reasons .In many countries , sons are valued because they can work and contribute to the family income . Also , sons will be able to support their parents when the parents are old . In some cultures , sons are important because they enable the family name to continue for another generation . This is because the wife in these cultures takes her husband’s family name , and more or less “belongs ”to the husband’s family . In addition , having a daughter can sometimes cause difficult for a family . In India , for example , having a daughter can be a burden because the family has to pay a dowry when the girl gets married . Generally ,people think traditional cultures are the ones in which boys are preferred . Research seems to support this belief . However , according to a survey conducted in 2000, people in the Czech Republic , Lithuania , Portugal , and the Caribbean prefer to have daughters . The researchers said that parents in these societies do not need to have the same economic situation that exists in other countries , so they do not need to have a son to help make money . Instead , families in these countries want daughters for emotional reasons . Many mothers think they will have a better relationship with a daughter than a son , for example . In addition ,they think daughters will take better care of them when they are old . In Japan , a similar trend has emerged . This might come as a surprise to some , because only one generation ago , the Japanese favored sons . In1982 , over half of Japanese couples surveyed would want a boy if they could have only one child . A survey done in 1997 , on the other hand , found that 75 percent wanted a girl ! Some Japanese couples say they want to have daughters because they think daughters are cuter and easier to raise . Japanese couples also worry about being taken care of when they are old . If they have to live with their children when they are very old , many Japanese parents would want to live with a daughter . “A sons wife would be a stranger and harder to ask for help ,” one Japanese mother said . Critics warn that preference for a daughter is just as bad as preference for a son . “Instead of valuing children for the social roles they are expected to fill , parents must learn to value children as individuals ,” critics say . when that is the case, parents will be equally pleased with a son or daughter .Questions: In India , parents receive _______ when their sons get married .

案例分析题材料二:阅读下面的短文,完成66—70题。 “和谐”是上海世博会的基本理念,2010年上海世博会上,科技将为人、城市与自然的和谐共存提供完整的技术支持。 太阳能科技将参与到上海世博会的建设中。通过在部分世博场馆的屋顶和玻璃幕墙上使用太阳能光伏发电技术,进行并网发电,作为场馆正常供电方式的补充;当展馆公共用电遇到突发事件不能正常供应时,太阳能电力提供的储能则可防止因电力中断带来的危机。 在上海世博会上,一次性餐具将不再使用传统塑料,而是用生物质材料“玉米塑料”制成,对环境没有任何污染。这种全新的生物质材料叫做“聚乳酸”,是将玉米等农作物通过生物发酵技术制备得到的一种“绿色石油”。这种材料可循环利用,走一条从农作物到乳酸、到聚乳酸、到聚乳酸制品、再到自然降解的循环链,对于环境无负担。 世博会将采用先进的科技手段,来处理每天在世博园区内产生的180吨垃圾。在世博园区内,人们将看不到垃圾运输车,特别是在0.7平方公里的核心区,垃圾处理流程由电脑程序预设,然后通过全封闭的管道输送系统从地下运走。而对于非核心区的垃圾,环卫部门也将采用信息技术实施全程监控。 整个世博园区的绿化建设将走“生态”路线,将考虑把世博园环行绿带设置成“金”、“木”、“水”、“火”、“土”五大广场,以华夏五千年的文明阐释“和谐”的理念,生命的循环不息。 上海世博会人潮涌动,你却不必担心会出现严重的交通拥堵。“世博智能交通系统”将帮你快速、舒适、安全、顺利抵达世博园。该系统由世博会ITS中心和出行信息、交通监控、智能公交、决策支持、电子收费、应急救援等6个系统组成,系统中包含宽带手机信息服务、动态车载导航和路径诱导等新的发布手段,以及海量数据融合技术等自主创新技术。在世博园区、周边交通管制区、世博快速通道等——只需拥有一部宽带手机,就可以在“数字导游”的指引下畅游世博会。 新型的电子标签免去了您排队等待检票的过程。世博会采用的电子票有信息感应的功能,出入场馆时,只需在智能感应终端上轻轻一晃,信息自动记入电子识别系统。电子标签中的客流引导系统可以实时采集园区客流信息,对各处的参观者进行及时的告知和疏导。交通管理子系统可以实现园区内各种交通工具和设施的有序使用,以及园区内、外的交通衔接,避免大面积交通拥堵的发生。 世博会来了!构建和谐城市,以创新推动城市的发展。人与自然的和谐,历史与未来的和谐,人与人的和谐,城市的建设和重塑有了新的着力点。 对本文的主旨概括最准确的是()。
A. 上海世博会体现出科技的发展
B. 上海世博会将借助电子技术实现高效管理
C. 科技将为上海世博会和谐理念的实现提供支持
D. 世博会将为上海带来新的发展际遇
