本模拟试卷涵盖 AQA GCSE 社会学“家庭”主题，设计时长为 35–40 分钟，模拟真实单元测试的节奏。试卷总分 32 分，分布在五道题中：一道 4 分的定义与举例题，一道 4 分的描述题，一道 6 分的解释题，一道 6 分的分析题（需结合材料），以及一道需要评估并得出有理有据结论的 12 分讨论题。
2. Question 1: Define and Give an Example (4 marks) | 第1题：定义并举例（4分）
Question: Define the term 'nuclear family' and give one example. (4 marks)
题目：定义“核心家庭”并给出一个例子。（4分）
The examiner expects a precise, textbook‑style definition and a valid, contemporary example. For a 4‑mark question, you should aim to write two clear sentences: one defining the key term using sociological language and one providing a specific, relevant example. Avoid vague descriptions; use phrases such as 'two‑generation household' or 'based on a heterosexual married couple and their dependent children'.
考官期待一个准确、教科书式的定义和一个有效的当代例子。对于 4 分题，你应该写两个清晰的句子：一句用社会学语言定义关键术语，另一句给出具体相关的例子。避免模糊的描述；使用诸如“两代同堂的家庭”或“基于异性已婚夫妇及其受抚养子女”等表述。
Model Answer (English): The nuclear family is a two‑generation family group consisting of a married, heterosexual couple and their biological or adopted children living in the same household. For example, Mr and Mrs Smith and their two children living in a suburban house constitute a nuclear family.
范例答案（中文）：核心家庭是由一对已婚异性夫妇及其亲生或收养的子女共同居住在同一住所的两代家庭群体。例如，史密斯夫妇和他们的两个孩子住在郊区的一栋房子里，就构成了一个核心家庭。
This response scores 4/4 because it provides a clear sociological definition (mentioning marriage, generational structure, co‑residence) and a relevant concrete example. The example is specific and illustrates the definition accurately.
这个回答得 4/4 分，因为它提供了清晰的社会学定义（提到了婚姻、代际结构、共同居住）以及一个相关的具体例子。例子具体且准确地诠释了定义。
3. Question 2: Describe One Way... (4 marks) | 第2题：描述一种方式（4分）
Question: Describe one way in which the family supports its members emotionally. (4 marks)
题目：描述家庭在情感上支持其成员的一种方式。（4分）
For a 'describe' question, you must clearly identify the way and then add detail about what happens, using sociological concepts if possible. An effective response might refer to 'emotional stabilisation' or the 'warm bath theory' by Parsons, explaining how the family relieves the stress of the outside world. The first 2 marks are for accurately stating the way and the next 2 marks are for developing the description.
对于“描述”题，你必须清楚地指出方式，然后详细说明发生了什么，如果可能宜使用社会学概念。一个有效的回答可以提到帕森斯的“情感稳定”或“暖浴理论”，解释家庭如何缓解外界压力。前 2 分授予准确陈述该方式，后 2 分授予展开描述。
Model Answer: One way is by providing a haven where adults can express feelings and receive comfort after a stressful day at work. According to Parsons, the family performs the 'warm bath' function, releasing tension so that adults can return to their public roles feeling refreshed. For instance, parents may discuss their challenges with each other and offer encouragement, stabilising their emotional well‑being.
范例答案：一种方式是通过提供一个避风港，让成年人在一天紧张的工作后可以表达情感并获得安慰。帕森斯认为，家庭发挥着“暖浴”功能，释放压力，使成年人能以焕然一新的状态重返公共角色。例如，父母可以与彼此讨论遇到的挑战并提供鼓励，从而稳定他们的情绪健康。
This answer earns full marks because it clearly states the 'warm bath' way, elaborates with Parsons' theory and gives a concrete illustration, moving beyond a simplistic statement.
该答案获得满分，因为它清楚说明了“暖浴”方式，用帕森斯的理论加以阐述并给出具体例证，而非停留在简单陈述。
4. Question 3: Explain Why... (6 marks) | 第3题：解释原因（6分）
Question: Explain why the divorce rate has increased since the 1960s. (6 marks)
题目：解释自 20 世纪 60
