The figure has since stayed below that level, falling to 18% in 2018, when only 30 women of the 1,019 female applicants were eventually accepted. Women account for more than 40% of the overall workforce, but the share of female doctors has been stuck at about 30% since 1998. The slow progress in medicine has caused an assumption that other medical institutes probably have similar policies that discriminate against female applicants.So why is a country that is battling a shortage of doctors trying to bar qualified female candidates from getting training?It is believed that female students will eventually leave the medical profession to give birth to and raise their children. There is a silent understanding to accept more male students as one way to solve the doctor shortage.It is true that female physicians tend to leave the profession at much higher rates than male, but many disagree that keeping them out of medical school is an effective response.Yoshiko Maeda, head of the Japan Medical Womens Association, said, “It is astonishing that women are being robbed of their right to seek entry to the medical profession. Instead of worrying about women quitting jobs, they should do more to create an environment where women can keep working.”语篇导读本文主要讲述了东京医科大学通过降低女性考生的分数从而阻止其入学的丑闻。1Which year saw the highest level of female admission percentage in Tokyo Medical University?

One example is “clicktivism”， a compound of “click” and “activism”. It refers to “armchair activists(键盘侠)”people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone. And “otherize” is a verb for “other” that means to keep a distance from people who are different from ourselveswhether that be different skin color, religious belief or sexuality.“We had all the words around Brexit(英国脱欧) in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary，” Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionary Onlines head of content development, told The Guardian.Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, “fitspiration”a compound of “fit” and “inspiration”refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy.The phrase “climate refugee”someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate changereflects peoples concern for the environment.According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions. “People feel much freer to coin their own words these days，” he said.But still, not all newlyinvented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words, Stevensons suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.语篇导读牛津在线词典最近收录了300多个单词和短语，本文介绍了这些单词和短语的来源、特点等。5.Why does the author mention “Brexit” and“Trump”？ATo inform the reader of the origin of the word “clicktivism”BTo show the influences of current affairs on the English language.CTo highlight two major political events that changed the world.DTo explain what kind of new words can make it into a dictionary.解析B写作意图题。根据文章结构可知，中间几段讲新词和短语的来源；Brexit(英国脱欧)和Trump(川普)相关的词都入选词典中，反映了时事对英语的影响，故选B项。6How is the passage mainly written?ABy giving examplesBBy making comparisons.CBy following a timelineDBy presenting research findings.解析A篇章结构题。前两段点明文章的主旨后，下文大量列举了比较典型的新收录的词汇。由此可推知，文章主要使用了例证法，故选A项。7According to Stevenson, to make the words you invent popular, they should _.Abe easy to rememberBhave unique meaningsCreflect the changing worldDbe meaningful, expressive and appealing解析D细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，入选的词汇应该具备三个特征：expressive, meaningful及attractive，appealing是attractive的近义词，故选D项。8What is the best title for this passage?ANew Words into the Oxford Dictionary OnlineBThe Application of New Words and PhrasesCHow a Language Mirrors the Changing WorldDThe Impact of Social Media on Our Language解析A标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了牛津在线词典新入选的单词和短语，讲述了它们的来源和特征，故选A项。 七选五课标话题人与社会文化渊源体裁说明文词 数 236难度 A Housewarming PartyA housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house.
