In many cultures women are viewed and treated as inferior or as second class citizens Prejudices against them are deep rooted Gender based violence in all its forms is all its forms is an ongoing problem，even in the so-called developed worldAccording to former UN Secretary General Kofi Anna, “violence against women is global in reach, and takes place in all societies and cultures. It affects women no matter what their race, social origin, birth or other status may be.”Radhika Coomaraswamy, UN expert of the Commission on Human Rights on violence against women, says in his report that for the vast majority of women, violence against women is “a taboo issue，invisible in society and a shameful fact of life.” Statistics issued by a victim study institution in Holland indicate that 23 percent of women in one South American country, or about 1 in 4, suffer some form of domestic violence. Likewise, the Council of Europe estimates that 1 in 4 European women suffer domestic violence during their lifetime. According to the British Home Office in England and Wales in one recent year, an average of two women each week were killed by current or former partners. The magazine India Today International reported that “for women across India, fear is a constant companion and rape is the stranger they may have to confront at every corner, on any road，in any public place at any hour.” UN experts described violence against women and girls as “todays most serious human fights challenge.”51This passage is intended to _.Apoint out the root of violence against womenBfind solutions 10 violence against womenCcriticize the governments inaction about violence against womenDmake people better aware of violence against women52The word “gender” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.Arace Bsociety Cculture Dsex53According to former UN Secretary General Kofi Anna，violence against women could be widely found _.Ain South American countriesBin rich countriesCin developing countriesDacross the world54By “violence against women is a taboo issue”，Radhika Coomaraswamy means that the vast majority of women _.Aturn a blind eye to the problemBdont want to talk about the problemCturn a deaf ear to the problemDhave been accustomed to the problem55According to the last paragraph，violence against women is _.Amore serious in South American countriesBmore serious in European countriesCequally serious in South American and European countriesD1ess serious in developed countries56According to the passage，women in India _.Aoften live in the fear of violence against themBsuffer more serious domestic violenceCmust have their companions everywhereDare facing most serious human rights challengesPassage TwoWhen you think of monkeys，you probably think of the TropicsFew species of monkeys venture into temperate landsNevertheless，there are one or two notable exceptionsIn the high Atlas Mountains of North Africa，where snowfall is common during the winter, small groups of Barbary apes roam through forests of cedar and oakOne isolated group of these monkeys can be found 200 miles to the north，living on the Rock of Gibraltar, at the southern most tip of EuropeHow do naturalists explain this mystery? Some believe that the monkeys colonized other areas of Europe in the distant past and that those of Gibraltar are the only surviving groupOthers think that Arabic or British colonizers brought them to the RockLegend has it that the monkeys crossed the narrow straits dividing Europe from Africa by means of a longlost underground tunnelWhatever their origin，they are now the only free range monkeys found in EuropeThe Barbary apes are not actually apesThey are tailless monkeysThe Barbary apes inhabit the pine woods that cover the upper part of the RockAlthough they number only a hundred or so, they have become “the peninsulas most famous residents,” according to the International Primate Protection LeagueSince seven million tourists visit Gibraltar every year，the mischievous monkeys have an ample food supplyAlthough they feed on wild plantsthey have become skilled at begging and occasionally stealing food from visitorsLocal authorities also provide the monkeys with fruit and vegetablesApart from feeding，the monkeys spend 20 percent of their day grooming each other. Both male and female monkeys care for and play with the young ones. They live in close knit groups, where stress sometimes leads to confrontation. While the older monkeys use threats and screams to chase away the younger ones，they also have an unusual toothchattering behavior that seems to calm them downTheir arrival on Gibraltar may remain a mystery；still，these sociable monkeys add a special charm to the limestone headland that guards the entrance to the Mediterranean SeaGibraltar world not be the same without them.57The monkeys on the Rock of Gibraltar are special because _.Athey live in tropic areasBthey inhabit temperate landsCthey live in forestsDthey came from North Africa58Which of the following is NOT the possible origin of the Gibraltar monkeys?AThey may be the surviving group of European monkeysBThey may have been brought to Gibraltar by colonizersCThey may have come from Africa through the longlost tunnelDThey may have swum across the narrow straits from Africa59The population of “the peninsulas most famous residents”_.Ais growing rapidlyBoutnumbers the local peopleCis threatened by too many visitorsDis about five scores60We can learn from the 5th paragraph that Gibraltar monkeys _.Amainly feed on food from visitorsBoften threaten local touristsCare very naughtyDare raised bythe local authorities61The word “grooming” in the 6m paragraph is closest in meaning to _.Acleaning Bbiting Cfighting Disolating62According to the passage, _.AGibraltar would be better without the monkeysBthe monkeys have added beauty to the Rock of GibraltarCGibraltar monkeys and those in the high Atlas Mountains are of different speciesDthe older Gibraltar monkeys are very fierce to the younger onesPassage ThreeWhich would You give up：TV, Cell，Or Web?
