閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
In the 1900's, American townspeople usually washed and brushed their teeth
and combed their hair in the kitchen. Or they kept a water pitcher (大水罐)and
a wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.
The bathtub was a wash tub(澡盆)filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathed together. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday night because Sundays they went to church.
A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing(水管設(shè)施). Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.
56In the first paragraph, "took care of" means ""。
[A] kept
[B] looked after
[C] used
[D] kept and used
57. In order to use the water from the stove, there be a pipe connecting the tub with the stove.
[A] must
[B] seemed to
[C] needn't
[D] should
58. Which of the following statements is true?
[A] Males and females in the family took turns using the bathtub.
[B] Some bathtubs were big enough for many people to bathe in at the same time.
[C] All the women and girls of a family could bathe together standing up in the tub.
[D] When several family members bathed together, they did not use the bathtub.
59. Americans owned a bathtub as early as 1895.
[A] Many
[B] Not all
[C] All
[D] Few
60. We can infer(推斷)that the plumbingat that time.
[A] cost little
[B] was more expensive than a water system
[C] was too expensive for every family to afford
[D] was not necessary
