how can it possibly affect them? ”“my dear love: those lazy boys need something to wake them up.there are bound to be jobs going.”“ is that her point in settling here? surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”“ nonsense,my love,how little youve noticed the world has changed.shes got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification,im told.she surely needs one of our boys! perhaps you might give her a call.”“ me? no.perhaps you can take an interest.you still have your looks,after all.she may even offer you a job.” “oh,thats not likely.these new chances belong to the younger generation.but now you mention it,i think ill go along all the same.”and mrs bennet went along.that was 10 years ago.she is now managing director of a ftse-listed company.it would remain the case,of course,that mrs bennet would be one of very few women on the company board,that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues,her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the citys business leaders shorter than theirs.still,shed no doubt have enjoyed davosand might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.1.which of the following is true according to the passage?()a.austen was born 200 years ago.b.austen rewrote pride and prejudice.c.austens success lies in her wisdom.d.austens updated work gains popularity.2.the underlined part in the passage suggests that mrs bennet .a.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about bingleyb.felt kind of worried and doubtful about bingleyc.was extremely anxious to meet bingleyd.had a great curiosity about bingley3.in the eyes of mrs bennet,bingley surely needed one of their boys to .a.get married tob.work for herc.help her move ind.take over her store4.what does the writer intend to tell us?()a.women with brains can also be as successful as men.b.women have to pay a high price for success.c.a judgment must be made free from prejudice.d.sex discrimination still exists nowadays.语篇解读:英国著名小说家简奥斯汀的傲慢与偏见批判了性别歧视观念。可是,当今同样上演着现代版的“傲慢与偏见”。答案及剖析:1.c细节理解题。根据文中的“austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence.”可知c项正确。2.a猜测句意题。结合上下文可知,画线部分表达出mrs bennet对bingley既羡慕又感到惊讶,情感复杂。由mixed feelings可知选a项。3.b细节理解题。根据文章中提到的“那些懒惰的男孩子需要一些东西唤醒他们自己”以及“there are bound to be jobs going.”可知贝内特夫人认为bingley需要她的一个孩子为她工作,故选b项。4.d主旨大意题。作者写这篇文章的目的是意在告诉人们现在仍存在性别歧视,号召人们消除性别歧视的观念,故d项正确。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。【2013广东省广州市调研测试】 imagine putting a seed in a freezer, waiting 30,000 years, and then taking the seed out and planting it. do you think a flower would grow? amazingly, scientists have just managed to do something very similar. they found the fruit of an ancient plant that had been frozen underground in siberia a region covering central and eastern russia for about 31,800 years. using pieces of the fruit, the scientists grew plants in a lab. the new blooms have delicate white petals. they are also the oldest flowering plants that researchers have ever revived from a deep freeze. “this is like regenerating a dinosaur from tissues of an ancient egg,” said university of california, los angeles biologist jane shen-miller. the plant has a long history. back when mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses walked the land, an arctic ground squirrel buried seeds and fruits in an underground chamber near the kolyma river in northeastern siberia. the ground became permafrost, a layer of soil that stays frozen for a long time. recently, russian scientists dug out the old squirrel hole and found the plant remains 38 meters below the surface. back at the lab, the team fed nutrients to tissue from three of the fruits to grow shoots. then the scientists transferred the shoots to pots filled with soil. the plants produced seeds that could be used to grow even more of them. its important for scientists to know that plant tissues can still be revived after being frozen for a long time. thats because many researchers are trying to preserve the seeds of modern plants by freezing them and then storing them in giant lockers at various spots around the globe. one such endeavor, an underground facility in norway, is called the svalbard global seed vault. it stores hundreds of thousands of frozen seeds. if a plant ever goes extinct, scientists could bring it back by taking its seeds from the svalbard or other storage lockers. “no one knows how long they are able to live for, but freezing is basically the format for many plant conservation attempts nowadays.” shen-miller said. its a good thing that at least some plants are tough enough to survive the experience. 31. how did the fruit originally get underground?a. it was placed there by an animal.b. it was trapped there during the ice-age.c. it was planted there by ancient farmers.d. it was buried there after the earthquake.【答案】a【解析】细节理解题。根据back when mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses walked the land, an arctic ground squirrel buried seeds and fruits in an underground chamber near the kolyma river in northeastern siberia.可知最初的时候是有动物放在地下的，故选a。32. which of the following was not used to recreate the ancient plant?
