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 first-rate 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 FTSE-listed 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.1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?()A.Austen was born 200 years ago.B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.C.Austens success lies in her wisdom.D.Austens updated work gains popularity.2.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet .A.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyB.felt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyC.was extremely anxious to meet BingleyD.had a great curiosity about Bingley3.In the eyes of Mrs Bennet,Bingley surely needed one of their boys to .A.get married toB.work for herC.help her move inD.take over her store4.What does the writer intend to tell us?()A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men.B.Women have to pay a high price for success.C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice.D.Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.语篇解读:英国著名小说家简奥斯汀的傲慢与偏见批判了性别歧视观念。可是,当今同样上演着现代版的“傲慢与偏见”。答案及剖析:1.C细节理解题。根据文中的“Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence.”可知C项正确。2.A猜测句意题。结合上下文可知,画线部分表达出Mrs Bennet对Bingley既羡慕又感到惊讶,情感复杂。由mixed feelings可知选A项。3.B细节理解题。根据文章中提到的“那些懒惰的男孩子需要一些东西唤醒他们自己”以及“There are bound to be jobs going.”可知贝内特夫人认为Bingley需要她的一个孩子为她工作,故选B项。4.D主旨大意题。作者写这篇文章的目的是意在告诉人们现在仍存在性别歧视,号召人们消除性别歧视的观念,故D项正确。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 【2013界内蒙古巴市一中一模】AMichael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier-the shark(鲨鱼).Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms. Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on sharks ability to sense pressure.If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.Her work-thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory - resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.Miss Smith said: “Ive always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know theres so much more we need to understand - but it certainly opens the way to more research.”It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish-none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.56. The passage is most probably taken from _.A. a short-story collection B. a popular science magazineC. a research paper D. a personal diary57. What do we learn from the first four paragraph of the passage?A. Sharks may be used to predict bad weather.B. Sharks behaviour can be controlled.C. Michael Fish is not qualified for his job.D. Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster.58. Lauren Smith conducted her research by _. A. removing hair cells from a sharks balance system B. measuring the air pressure of weather fronts C. recording sharks body temperature D. monitoring sharks reaction to weather changes59. What is the passage mainly about? A. A popular way of forecasting weather. B. A new research effort in predicting storms. C. Biologists interest in the secrets of sharks. D.
