Women won their independence years ago. After a long, bitter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every field. The hard-fought battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. It is men, not women who still carry on the sex war because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as second-rate citizens. To hear some men talk, youd think that women belonged to a different species!On the surface, the comments made by men about womens abilities seem light-hearted. The same tired jokes about women drivers are repeated day in, day out. This apparent light-heartedness dose not conceal the real contempt that men feel for women. However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. Lets consider the matter of driving, for instance. We all know that women cause far fewer accidents than men. They are too conscientious and responsible to drive like maniacs. But this is a minor quibble. Women have succeeded in any job. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, factory-hands, university professors, farmers, company directors, lawyers, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often put men to shame. And we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing children.Yet men go on maintaining the fiction that there are many jobs women cant do. Top-level political negotiation between countries, business and banking are almost entirely controlled by men, who jealously guard their so-called rights. Even in otherwise enlightened places like Switzerland women havent even been given the vote. This situation is preposterous! The arguments that men put forward to exclude women from these fields are all too familiar. Women, they say, are unreliable and irrational. They depend too little on cool reasoning and too much on intuition and instinct to arrive at decisions. They are not even capable of thinking clearly. Yet when women prove their abilities, men refuse to acknowledge them and give them their due. So much for a mans ability to think clearly!The truth is that men cling to their supremacy because of their basic inferiority complex. They avoid real competition. They know in their hearts that women are superior and they are afraid of being beaten at their own game. One of the most important tasks in the world is to achieve peace between the nations. You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit round the conference table, they would succeed brilliantly, as they always do, there men have failed for centuries. Some things are too important to be left to men!1. What does the first sentence imply?A. It is not really an enlightened age. B. It is different from an enlightened age.C. It is the same as an enlightened age. D. It is like an enlightened age.2. Why do men carry on the sex war against women?A. Because of their inferiority. B. Because they shun real competition.C. Because of their claim to supremacy. D. Because they still look down upon women.3. The “fiction” is closest in meaning to A. Novel. B. Man-made idea. C. False idea. D. Story.4. What is the main argument men have raised against women?A. Women are lack of cold reasoning. B. They depend on intuition too much.C. They are unreliable and irrational. D. They are too still look down upon women5. Womens success in almost every field is significant because _A. Women have fought very hard for success. B.Women have to bear and rear children.C. Women have never succeeded before. D.Men still carry on the sex war.Passage twoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:While shopping at a supermarket near home, I was surprised to find bottled water from as far away as Southwest Chinas Tibet Autonomous Region. The price is four times more expensive than the other domestic brands, as it projects the image of coming from a glacial spring on the roof of the world. The source dates back to ancient times, and, according to some reports on the Internet, and it contains trace elements and minerals good for peoples health. I dont doubt the profits the brand of precious glacier spring water generates for business managers and the jobs its production, transportation and distribution create. Bottled water is one of the worlds fastest-growing commercial beverages. The United States remains the largest consumer of bottled water, with some of the prized brands, such as Fiji Water, coming from distant corners of the world. While Charles Fishman claims in his article in the July issue of Fast Company that bottled water is often simply an indulgence, and . it is not a benign indulgence, many Chinese may not agree. Among the more pragmatic Chinese who love drinking hot tea, bottled water is either a convenience or a necessity. Often, they have no choice but to turn to bottled water, as sources of tap water become contaminated. After all, water is in short supply in some 110 urban centers in China. It is not surprising that the consumption of bottled water more than doubled between 2000 and 2005. Major bottled water companies now employ hundreds of thousands of technicians, workers and salespeople. One company claims that each of its three state-of-the-art assembly lines churns out 800 bottles every minute. However, as China upgrades its standards on drinking water and steps up efforts to clean up rivers and lakes, it should also set stricter rules to stop excessive growth in the bottled water business. After all，the manufacture and shipping of bottled water adversely impact the environment and the ecology. According to Worldwatch Institute, undue extraction of natural mineral or spring water to produce bottled water threatens local streams and groundwater. Plastic bottles, most of them not recycled, create unnatural waste. At the same time, the production and shipping of bottled water consume a lot of fossil fuel. The cost of producing bottled water is some 10,000 times more than tap water, higher than drilling for fossil fuels, according to some experts. With this in mind, the government at various levels should invest more money in ensuring that tap water is safe and available to all residents, whether they live in urban centers or rural areas. Meanwhile, individuals should follow the lead of Liao Xiaoyi, founder of the Global Village of Beijing, and other environmental activists, to refrain from drinking bottled water. This is in addition to other simple things that they encourage people to do to reduce our footprints on earth, such as driving less, recycling more, using less hot water and avoiding products with a lot of packaging. As for the glacial spring water from the roof of the world, I believe it is better to leave it alone and preserve it as a way to help stop global warming. After all, if we continue to slide toward what former US Vice-President Al Gore calls the tipping points, we will have to cope with unbearable heat as glaciers further retreat and disappear. The source for the precious spring water will be gone before we know it. 6. Why do some Chinese who love drinking hot tea sometimes turn to bottled water?A.It is inexpensive. B. It is fashionable.C. Sometimes the tap water is polluted. D. It is precious glacier spring water.7. What can be inferred from this passage?A. The extraction of glacier spring water will help stop global warming.B. The production and transportation of bottled water will harm environment and the ecology.C. The cost of producing bottled water is less than tap water.D. Plastic bottles do not create unnatural waste.8. Some local streams and groundwater are threatened because_A. The pollution derives from chemical factories.B. The natural mineral or spring water are utilized appropriately.C. People overused natural mineral or spring water.D Farmers use them to irrigate.9. Which of the followings is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. The government should strive to improve the tap water.B. All people should reduce the consumption of bottled water.C. People rural areas should also be provided with safe tape water.D The plastic bottles should be replaced with glass bottles.10. The attitude of the author towards bottled water is_.A. neutral B objective C negative D affirmativePassage threeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:In the 1960s, it was not the time to dis
