and Prejudice，Jane Austens most famous work，might be updated,200 years on.Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different life，as would her characters.Heres my own suggestion.It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men，however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“My dear husband，” said his hopeful wife one day，“have you heard that the local store，standing empty for so long，is taken over by a bright young businesswoman？”Her dull and indifferent(漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.“But it is，it is，” she replied excitedly.Mr DullHusband made no reply.“Dont you want to know her plans？” she cried with some impatience.“Well，clearly you think it matters to your silly little head.so Id better listen.”“Well，my dear，the rumour(传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England，though how_a_woman_can_know_anything_about_that_is_beyond_me.She will move in herself next month.”“What is her name？”“Bingley.”“Is she married or single？”“What a question！And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”“How so？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 firstrate 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 FTSElisted 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.(2013福建，D)1Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AAusten was born 200 years ago.BAusten rewrote Pride and Prejudice.CAustens success lies in her wisdom.DAustens updated work gains popularity.答案C解析细节理解题。由第一段第一句“Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence.”我们可以发现Austen的成功主要由于她的智慧。所以正确答案为C。2The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet .Ahad mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyBfelt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyCwas extremely anxious to meet BingleyDhad a great curiosity about Bingley答案A解析句意理解题。由文章划线句子“how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me”可知Mrs Bennet对Bingley有羡慕和吃惊的复杂情感，因此正确答案为A。3In the eyes of Mrs Bennet，Bingley surely needed one of their boys to .Aget married to Bwork for herChelp her move in Dtake over her store答案B解析细节理解题。由文中的句子“those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.”可知Mrs Bennet推测出Bingley需要工人，他们的儿子有机会为她工作。4What does the writer intend to tell us?AWomen with brains can also be as successful as men.BWomen have to pay a high price for success.CA judgment must be made free from prejudice.DSex discrimination still exists nowadays.答案D解析推理判断题。由文章最后一段可知，在当今性别歧视仍然存在，因此，正确答案为D。.任务型阅读Women are avoiding academic careers in mathintensive fields because the lifestyle is consistent with motherhood，researchers at Cornell University found in a study to be published next month in American Scientist Magazine.Universities have long been criticized for hiring and evaluation policies that discriminate against women，but the findings of this new study point to the female biological clock as a main reason why so few women end up as professors in fields such as math，engineering，physics and computer science.A woman who wants a family looks at the tough path to a tenured(终身的) position and considers how old she will be before she can start a family and how little time she will have to raise her children.Many of those women choose a more flexible career.“Universities have been largely inflexible about anything other than the standard timetable，which means youll have to struggle for years and only then would you consider getting pregnant(怀孕的)，” said Wendy Williams，a human development professor at Cornell who coauthored the study with her husband，Stephen Ceci.Williams and Ceci analyzed data about the academic careers of men and women with and without children.Before women became mothers，they had careers equal to or more successful than their male peers.But once they gave birth，the dynamic changed.Women in other academic fields such as the humanities and social sciences face similar problems and often leave academic as well.But because there are so many women in those Ph.D.programs，enough finally stay to amount to a critical mass of female professors.In mathheavy fields，however，women make up a tiny minority of the graduate students.So when the rare few who make it through a Ph.D.program leave because universities are not concerned about their needs as mothers at all，the net result is almost no women represented on faculty rosters(教师名单)，the study said.PhenomenonFew women choose 1.academic careers in mathintensive fields
