A challenging new book by the Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker says that the answer is “yes”.In The Better Angels of Our Nature,Pinker presents data showing that human violence,while still very much with us today,has been gradually declining.Moreover,he says,“Over the long sweep of history,women have been and will be a peaceful force.Traditional war is a mans game:tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages.” As mothers,women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children.Skeptics(怀疑者)immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power.If they were empowered as leaders,the disorder of the world would force them to make the same warlike decisions that men do.Margaret Thatcher,Golda Meir,and Indira Gandhi were powerful women;all of them led their countries to war.But it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of “a mans world”.It was their success consistent with male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place.In a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions,they might behave differently in power.So we are left with the broader question:does gender(性别)really matter in leadership? In terms of traditional opinion,various psychological studies show that men tend towards the hard power of command,while women are cooperative and naturally understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion.The key choices about war and peace in our future will depend not on gender,but on how leaders combine hard and soft power skills to produce smart policies.Both men and women will make those decisions.1.Which of the following does Pinker agree?A.Human violence has been increasing.B.Men play a vital role in traditional war.C.Women have not made war due to their powerlessness.D.Women prefer to take care of their babies at home.2.The author mentions Margaret Thatcher,Golda Meir,and Indira Gandhi to say.A.they were all womenB.they also acted as leadersC.they were all heroesD.they also made war3.How did these women rise to leadership?A.By entering a famous university.B.By following values similar to mens.C.By showing their good character.D.By playing political games.4.In terms of traditional opinion,.A.men prefer cooperationB.men are wiser than womenC.women know well about soft powerD.women are excellent leaders5.What does the writer intend to tell us?A.War and peace depend on wise policies made by men or women.B.We had better choose women as our leaders if we want peace.C.Women are more likely to make smart policies than men.D.Men tend to lead their countries to war.一、单句填空1.related句意:和人们的健康相关的问题肯定需要小心处理。考查非谓语动词。be related to 意为“与有关;与有联系”,所以应填过去分词形式作定语,修饰主语the matter。2.covering句意:我经常梦见在外面覆盖着白雪的大地上慢跑。考查with的复合结构。snow和cover之间是逻辑上的主动关系,故填covering。3.when句意:在一个雨天,我正骑自行车去接儿子,这时前面发生了可怕的事故。考查连词。when用作并列连词,意为“就在那时”。4.where答句句意:现在是上课时间,所以他现在应该在教室里。考查连词。由答句可知问句询问的是地点,故填where。5.it句意:我们不应该想当然地认为距离2016年高考还有很多的时间。考查固定句式take it for granted(that.),意为“认为是理所当然”。6.reservation句意:上午好,这里是大剧院。喂,我是拉里杰克逊。我打电话是想确认一下周一我通过电话预订的两张李尔王的包厢座位的事。定冠词the后要用名词作confirm的宾语。7.required句意:我们应该尽力想办法帮助初学者掌握学习一门新语言所需要的基本技巧。考查非谓语动词作定语。require与the basic skills之间是被动关系,应该用过去分词,相当于which are required。8.for句意:美国人如果在大选那天正好在度假的话,他们可以申请邮寄投票。考查动词短语。apply for申请。9.satisfied句意:因为对日本政府的不满,一些中国人决定不再购买日本产品。固定搭配be satisfied with对感到满意,其否定式为be not satisfied with。10.(should)be sent句意:目击者强烈要求尽快把伤者送往医院。考查虚拟语气。demand后that引导的宾语从句中谓语动词要用虚拟形式:should+动词原形,should可以省略。由句意可知应用被动语态。二、语法填空语篇解读作者的家人都去探亲了,留下作者一人在家,发生了一件让作者措手不及的小意外。1.paid考查动词的时态。根据本句中的last week可知,这里应该使用一般过去时。2.to get考查非谓语动词。used to do sth过去常常做某事。3.As考查固定搭配。as usual意为“像往常一样”。4.larger考查形容词的比较级。句意:房子如此干净以至于显得更大了。所以此处用large的比较级。5.tired考查词形转换。因为工作了两个小时,所以觉得很累。这里是表达个人的感受,所以用tired,意为“疲劳的”。6.relaxation考查词形转换。根据本空前的介词of可知,这里需要名词作介词的宾语。7.burning考查非谓语动词。现在分词作后置定语,强调动作正在发生。8.was hurrying考查动词。根据while可知,此处应用过去进行时表示过去某段时间内正在发生的事情。9.loss考查词形转换。作者对当时的情况完全不知所措,at a loss意为“不知所措”。10.the考查冠词。这里太阳为独一无二的事物,所以用定冠词。三、完形填空语篇解读本文为夹叙夹议文,题材为人物故事类,讲述作者的父亲退休后学习钢琴,实现儿时梦想的故事。父亲以自己的行动说明了人要有勇气和决心,树立自信心并朝着目标前进。1.C独奏会意味着我得练习枯燥无味的乐曲并在陌生人面前演奏。reflect反映;explain解释;mean意味着;prove证明。根据句意可知答案为C项。2.Awould可表示过去习惯性的动作,根据时间状语Each year可知每年我都会问父亲,所以答案为A项。3.D每年,他都是摇摇头,嘀咕些树立自信心和朝着目标努力之类的话。nothing没有任何东西;everything每件事;anything任何事;something某事。根据句意可知答案为D项。4.Agoal目标;stage舞台;journey旅程;chance机会。根据上文可知答案为A项。5.B根据下文可知作者的父亲实现了儿时的梦想,六十八岁时第一次开独奏会,作者感到很欣慰。故答案为B项。with(really)great satisfaction感到很欣慰。6.C根据情景可知,“我”在父亲的第一次独奏会前,手持摄像机,拍父亲,因此“我”应注视着父亲。keep保持;send派遣;watch注视,观看;feel感觉。故答案为C项。7.D开始起身去弹钢琴前。through通过;from来自;against靠着;before在之前。根据句意可知答案为D项。8.B根据设空前his family was poor可知他的家庭“负担不起”这些课程。故答案为B项。9.A他本可以如同我们中的许多人那样遗憾。本句为定语从句,关系词代替主句内容故用as。once一旦;if如果;while当时。由句意可知答案为A项。10.C虽然父亲过去没能实现梦想,但是并没有停留在过去。educate教育;protect保护;stick把固定在某个位置;spoil宠坏。根据句意可知答案为C项。11.D根据上下文可知父亲始终想学习钢琴,所以他说服教堂的音乐指导收他为徒。allow允许;invite邀请;inspire激发;persuade劝说。故答案为D项。12.B根据下文Has he forgotten.?I worried.作者认为父亲“完全”盯着他的手指使得作者担心。simply在此强调stared这个动作。roughly大体上;merrily快乐地;curiously好奇地。故答案为B项。13.Cword话;vid
