Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer A, B, C or D, and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square bracket on your Answer Sheet. The world is at the dawn of a new Golden age of travel - an age of voyaging on a truly global mass scale. As the 21st century unfurls, people of every country will be wandering to every part of this planet. Mass travel first began in the early 1950s when Americans - with their strong currency, their newly acquired D. I. Bill education and their World War II exposure to faraway places - took advantage of newly routine transatlantic flights and lifted off by the millions to see the world on five sturdy greenbacks a day. In succeeding years, West Europeans and then the Japanese followed until travel mushroomed to become the worlds largest industry. Today 212 million people around the globe are employed in travel and tourism, a business that earns $ 3.4 trillion annually. Last year the number of international air passengers stood at 339.6 million, with 100 million more expected by 1998. All that is impressive, but it is merely prelude. A decade from now, the global industry is expected to employ 338 million people and have revenues of $ 7.2 trillion. The doubling of revenue alone represents a travel explosion on an unprecedented scale. It will he, moreover, and explosion that will encompass much broader regions of the globe, not merely the privileged centers of North America, Europe and Japan that have dominated the industry in the late 20th century. While the breadth and scope of 21st century travel promises to be unique, it will also be an echo of the past. In many ways, the near future harks back to travels first Golden Age in the 19th century. Three things enhance the similarity。 the sweep of technological change。 the tearing down of political barriers。 and the rapid decline in costs that made the impulse to see the world a practical urge.51.

For example, it has been suggested that the employment of woman in industry took them out of the household, their traditional sphere, and fundamentally altered their position in society. In the nineteenth century, when women began to enter factories, Jules Simon, a French politician, warned that by doing so, women would give up their femininity. Friedrich Engels, however, predicted that women would be liberated from the social, legal, and economic subordination of the family by technological developments that made possible the recruitment of “the whole female sex into public industry. “Observers thus differed concerning the social desirability of mechanizations effects, but they agreed that it would transform womens lives. Historians, particularly those investigating the history of women, now seriously question this assumption of transforming power. They conclude that such dramatic technological innovations as the spinning jenny, the sewerage machine, the typewriter, and the vacuum cleaner have not resulted in equally dramatic social changes in womens economic position or in the prevailing evaluation of womens work. The employment of young women in textile mills during the Industrial Revolution was large an extension of an older pattern of employment of young, single women as domestics. It was not the change in office technology, but rather the separation of secretarial work, previously seen as an apprenticeship for beginning managers, from administrative work that in the 1880s created a new class of deadened jobs, thenceforth considered women s work. The increase in the numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire. Womens work has changed considerably in the past 200 years, moving from the household to the office or the factory, and later becoming mostly white-collar instead of blue-collar work. Fundamentally, however, the conditions under which women work have changed little since before the Industrial Revolution: the segregation of occupations by gender, lower pay for women as a group, jobs that require relatively low levels of skill and offer women little opportunity for advancement all persist, while womens household labor remains demanding. Recent historical investigation has led to a major revision of the notion that technology is always inherently revolutionary in its effects。 on society. Mechanization may even have slowed any change in the traditional position of women both in the labor market and in the home.56. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Mechanization has caused the nature of womens work to change since the Industrial Revolution.B. Recent studies have shown that mechanization revolutionizes a societys traditional values and the cC. The effect of the mechanization of womens work have not borne out the frequently held assumption thD. The mechanization of work creates whole new classes of jobs that did not previously exist.BkeGuInkxI正确答案：C注释:从全文来看，特别是最后一段最后两句说明机械化并未彻底改变女性传统的地位，从而说明新技术并不总能带来革命性的结果。57.

Factories.D. Offices.3cdXwckm15正确答案：A注释:第二段第六行“an older pattern of employment of young，single women as domestics”可得出结论。59. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would consider which of the following to be an indication of a fundamental alteration in the conditions of womens work?A. Surveys of the labor market documenting the recent creation of a new class of jobs in electronics inB. Interviews with married men indicating that they are now doing some household tasks.C.
