南昌市2014高考英语阅读理解二轮限时训练精品题（16）及答案【山东省青岛市2014高考英语一模】cmany independent chinese women like to earn their own bread, even if their husbands are already bringing home the bacon. but a recent survey suggests that such women find more joy from relationships, rather than successful careers. about 73 percent of the 7,000 women surveyed in beijing, shanghai and guangzhou said they would choose to work even if their husbands earned enough for the family. the survey also found that 77 percent define happiness as enjoying a relationship. but striking a balance between career and family can bring challenges to the womans career advancement. in my company, women usually have an equal or even a higher starting salary than men, said li hua, general manager of beijing chuangjiashe book circulation company. however, as they begin to climb up the career ladder, women often meet problems along the way, while men can climb the ladder more easily. both physical and emotional differences can prevent some women from taking tough positions, li said. but family life is often the main difficulty for chinese career women. despite these challenges, however, some experts believe its reasonable for some women to want to be breadwinners. in this way, the roles of a family are decided by the parents abilities rather than their gender（性别）, said gu donghui, a sociology professor at fudan university. gu says women should have the freedom to decide if they want to stay at home or work to support the family. everyone has a different interpretation（解释）of what it means to find self-worth. wang haibin, an economic expert from renmin university shares that view: traditionally, we tend to regard the family as the cell unit of society. some members have always been expected to make sacrifices for it. but, it really doesnt matter who earns more. economic independence and personal choice is essential for both sexes in the family.51. from the passage we know that _. a. many husbands cant earn enough b. most women want to support their families themselves c. women meet fewer problems than men while working d. many women want to make more friends while working52. what brings career women more joy and happiness according to the passage?

what pieces of paper need to be handed in? what can/cant you do in your student residence(住处)? who has authority for what? what do you need to complete to graduate?4. write the word “study” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, tv and the kitchen table. consider this you are paying thousands of dollars for courses. you pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.9. what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to offer advice on college life.b. to explain why college life is exciting.c. to describe the importance of college life.d. to persuade you to go to college 10. from the passage, we can know .a. one will have more freedom at collegeb. one will make more friends at collegec. one prepares for ones future career and life at colleged. professors at college will provide you with many new ideas11. what is the probable meaning of the underlined word “know-how” (in paragraph 2)?a. an understanding of how things are going at college.b. a practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at college.c. college halls where rules and regulations are presented.d. an environment completely different from the one youre used to.12. according to the passage, college students . a. neednt learn from those who went to college before themb. should spend as much time as possible on social activitiesc. should have a “system” for planning their timed. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course参考答案acbc阅读理解-计划愿望和节假日活动 everyone knows about straight-a students. we see them frequently in tv situation comedies and in movies likerevenge(复仇) of the nerds. they get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. they are not good at social communication and look clumsy when it comes to sports. how, then, do we account for domenica roman or paul melendres? roman is on the tennis team at fairmont senior high school. she also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council(学生会) and is a member of the mathematics society. for two years she has maintained as in every subject. melendres, now a freshman at the university of new mexico, was student-body president at valley high school in albuquerque. he played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight as in his regular classes, plus bonus points for as in two college-level courses. how do super-achievers like roman and melendres do it? brains arent the only answer. top grades dont always go to the brightest students, declares herbert walberg, professor of education at the university of illinois at chicago, who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students. knowing how to make the most of your innate(天赋的) abilities counts for more. much more. in fact, walberg says, students with high i.q.s sometimes dont do as well as classmates with lower i.q.s. for them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down. hard work isnt the whole story, either. its not how long you sit there with the books open, said one of the many a students we interviewed. its
