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.67which 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.68the 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 bingley69in the eyes of mrs bennet, bingley surely needed one of their boys to _a. get married to b. work for herc. help her move in d. take over her store70what 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.【要点综述】 文章选自改编版名著傲慢与偏见章节，独辟蹊径，夹叙夹议，通过讲述mrs bennet对bingley从事商业活动的态度及她本人的经历，深刻揭示了性别歧视依然存在这一社会现实。文章将古典文学的欣赏性与现实的批判性有机地结合起来。67c细节理解题。根据文章开头“austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence.” 可知。intelligence“智力”相当于wisdom。68a句意理解题。画线句子意为：我完全不懂得一个女人是怎样懂得做生意的。结合上文她告诉丈夫时说的话及说话的语气可知，mrs bennet对bingley既崇敬又惊讶。69b细节理解题。从原文句子“those lazy boys need something to wake them up.” 及“she surely needs one of our boys！” 可知答案。70d推理判断题。 根据原文最后一段，作者说十年后的今天，mrs bennet 虽然已是一名老员工了，但她的工资及福利均比不上男同事，说明现在社会仍然存在性别歧视。(2011新课标卷)in our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory _1_ course about 20 years ago.the professor _2_ the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans (豆), and invited the students to _3_ how many beans the jar contained. after _4_ shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the _5_ answer, and went on saying, “you have just _6_ an important lesson about science. that is：never _7_ your own senses.”twenty years later, the _8_ could guess what the professor had in mind. he _9_ himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting _10_ into an unknown world invisible (无形的) to the _11_， which can be discovered only through scientific _12_. but the seventeenyearold girl could not accept or even _13_ the invitation. she was just _14_ to understand the world. and she _15_ that her firsthand experience could be the _16_. the professor, however, said that it was _17_. he was taking away her only _18_ for knowing and was providing her with no subsitute (替代). “i remember feeling small and _19_，” the woman says, “and i did the only thing i could do. i _20_ the course that afternoon, and i havent gone near science since.”本文通过一节科学课，向人们显示了教育是如何帮助人们成功的，并且这堂课向学生显示了人们不能凭感觉做事，对于一些无形的东西，只能通过科学方法才能发现。1a.art bhistorycscience dmath答案：c。从第二段第6空后可知，此处应填science。science course科学课。2a.searched for blooked atcgot through dmarched into答案：d。教授走进演讲大厅。search for寻找；look at看； get through完成，打通；march into走进。根据句意d项正确。3a.count bguesscreport dwatch答案：b。教授让学生们猜猜缸里有多少豆子。count数；guess猜；report报告；watch看，观看，因为豆子装在缸里，同学们只有猜一下有多少。并且4空后出现了guess一词。4a.warning bgivingcturning away dlistening to答案：d。根据上下文意思可知，同学们喊出答案，教授听到他们错误的猜测，而笑了。5a.ready bpossibleccorrect ddifficult答案：c。因同学们的答案错误，所以教授给出正确答案，correct与wrong相对。6a.learned bpreparedctaught dtaken答案：a。你们学到了关于科学的重要一课。learn.about.学会关于的知识。prepare准备；teach 教；take拿走。7a.lose btrustcsharpen dshow答案：b。根据上文可知，同学们凭感觉给出了错误的答案，所以教授说：永远不要相信自己的感觉。lose失去；trust相信；sharpen变锋利；show显示。8a.lecturer bscientistcspeaker dwoman答案：c。此处指上文提到the woman，也就是指说上面的人，因此填speaker。9a.described brespectedcsaw dserved答案：c。describe描述；respect尊敬；see看见；serve服务。当他鼓励他的学生对未知世界进行有趣的航行时，他自己看到了。10a.voyage bmovementcchange d
