chance as men have and believe it is still men s world said Dr James Holden one of the scientists who did the study Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company She also believes in Women s Liberation 解放 I don t wish that I were a man she says and I don t think many women do But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women At work for example we often do the work that men do but get paid less There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men If you re a man you have a much better chance of leading an exciting life How many women pilots are there or engineers or scientists 36 What can we learn from the first paragraph A 60 Western European women wish that they were born men B 60 women in West Germany wish that they were born men C Most women in Western European countries wish that their babies were all boys D 60 Western European women who wish that they were born men are from West Germany 37 It is still men s world

Blackwell was asked to keep it a secret that she was a woman This was contrary to her beliefs and she refused to do it After entering medical school Elizabeth often had to summon all her courage to free the unkindness of teachers and classmates By her great efforts she was able to complete her studies Many people came to her graduation just to have a look at a woman doctor Doctor Blackwell soon found that most people were not as ready as to go to a woman doctor She had to struggle to make a living Then came the great day when she was offered a job as a doctor in a hospital She did so well that she was asked to organize a new hospital and medical college The United States can now be proud of thousands of women doctors 40 How do you think Elizabeth was treated in the medical school A Unfairly B Kindly C Normally D Cruelly 41 Many people came to see Elizabeth when she graduated A but they didn t believe she would be famous in the future B because they wanted to congratulate her on being a doctor C because they wanted to find out the secret of her success D but they weren t sure that she could manage to finish her schooling 42 After graduation Elizabeth found that A she was not right for the job and had to struggle for a living B few people were willing to go to a woman doctor C she must organize a new hospital and medical college for women D most people were ready to go to a woman doctor 43 What in fact was Elizabeth s great effort in the medical school A To study hard to complete her studies B To refuse to pretend to be a boy C To struggle for the position of the women D To realize her idea of being a doctor C 6 You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight They hit one another hard At the start they only fight with their fists But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below He is dead Of course he isn t really dead With any luck he isn t even hurt Why Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains who crash cars of even catch fire are professionals They do this for a living These men are called stuntmen That is to say they perform tricks There are two sides to their work They actually do most of the things you see on the screen For example they fall from a high building However they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress 床垫 Again when they hit one another with chairs the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows the glass is made of sugar But although their work depends on trick of this sort it also requires a high degree of skill and training Often a stuntman s success depends on careful timing For example when he is blown up in a battle scene he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work but they lead dangerous lives They often get seriously injured and sometimes killed A Norwegian stuntman for example skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high His parachute failed to open and he was killed In spite of all the risks this is no longer a profession for men only Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action For nowadays there are stunt girls too 44 Stuntmen are those who A often dress up as actors B prefer to lead dangerous lives C often fight each other for their lives D often perform seemingly dangerous actions 45 When a stuntman falls from a high building 7 A he

Parachutes must be of good quality D Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman D A young man went to a town and worked there He did not have a wife and a servant did the work in his house The young man liked laughing a lot He nailed the servant s shoes to the floor on Monday and then laughed because he put his feet in them and fell down The servant was not angry but smiled Then the young man put brushes in his bed on Tuesday The servant got into bed and hit the brushes with his feet He was afraid The young man laughed loudly again Again the servant was not angry but smiled Then on Wednesday the young man said to his servant You re a nice kind man I am not going to be unkind to you again The servant smiled and said And I m not going to put any more mud from the street in your coffee 48 He played a joke on the servant because A he hated him B he was not satisfied with the food the servant prepared for him C he liked to show off himself D he wanted to get pleasure 49 When the young man played a joke on him the servant was not angry but smiled because A he liked the young man s action B making the young man laugh is his job 8 C he thought he shouldn t be angry with a

the problems continued to be overproduction 生产过剩 It is true that continuing improvements in farm machinery better seeds better fertilizers and other good conditions have made farmers more and more successful in what they do In fact American agriculture has become an agribusiness which includes a variety of farm businesses and organizations from small one family companies to huge multinational companies 跨国公司 that own a great deal of land and that produce goods and materials used by farmers The appearance of agribusiness in the late 20th century meant fewer but much larger farms Sometimes owned by stockholders 股东 who didn t manage the farms these large farms used more machinery and far fewer farm hands In 1940 there were 6 million farms averaging 平均为 67 hectares 公顷 each In the late 1990s there were only about 2 2 million farms averaging 190 hectares in size During the same period the number of farmers became smaller from 12 5 million in 1930 to 1 2 million in the 1990s In 1900 half of the labor force were farmers but at the end of the last century only 2 worked on the farm And nearly 60 of the remaining farmers at the beginning of this century worked only part time on farms they held other non farm jobs to add to their farm income The high cost spent on land and equipment makes keeping the full time farming 9 going on very difficult for most people As these numbers show the American family farm rooted in the nation s history and in the story of the hard working peasants faces powerful economic challenges Americans continue to imagine the neat barns 谷仓 fat farm animals and beautiful fields of the traditional rural landscape but it remains uncertain whether they will be willing to pay the price either in higher food prices or in government aids to farmers who own the family farm 52 What is the most important problem the American farmers meet with now A The farm machinery needs to be improved B The farm conditions need to be developed further C The farm products are more than what people need D The farm products can t meet the need of the people 53 How many farmers worked full time on the farm at the beginning of this century A About 40 of the labor force B Less than 1 of the labor force C About 60 of the labor force D Over 2 of the labor force 54 Why do some farmers do other part time jobs A Farming can t meet their need of money B They all want to make a large fortune C Farm work doesn t need too much time D They want to learn how to do other jobs 55 The author used many numbers in the 2nd paragraph to A explain why the farmers need to do some part time jobs B tell the readers that he knows about agriculture very well C show that the multinational companies own much land D make it clear that fewer farmers work in larger farms IV 写作 共两节
