Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Heres my own suggestion.It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism. “My dear husband，”said his hopeful wife one day，“have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long，is taken over by a bright young businesswoman？”Her dull and indifferent(漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. “But it is, it is，” she replied excitedly. Mr. DullHusband made no reply. “Dont you want to know her plans？” she cried with some impatience. “Well，clearly you think it matters to your silly little head.so Id better listen. ”“Well, my dear, the rumour(传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month. ”“What is her name？”“Bingley. ”“Is she married or single？”“What a question! 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 firstrate 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 FTSElisted 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. 【解题导语】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过傲慢与偏见这部著作，引出性别歧视依然存在这一社会话题。21Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AAusten was born 200 years ago. BAusten rewrote Pride and Prejudice. CAustens success lies in her wisdom. DAustens updated work gains popularity. 解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，傲慢与偏见的作者简奥斯汀的成功源于她的智慧，故答案选C。22The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs. Bennet _. Ahad mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyBfelt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyCwas extremely anxious to meet BingleyDhad a great curiosity about Bingley解析：选A推理判断题。该句字面意思为“一个女人怎么能知道关于生意的事，这超出了我的理解。”由此推断，她对Bingley(当地一家商店的年轻女老板)的成就感到既羡慕又惊讶。23In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet，Bingley surely needed one of their boys to _. Aget married to Bwork for herChelp her move in Dtake over her store解析：选B细节理解题。根据倒数第五段中的“She surely needs one of our boys！”可知，在Bennet夫人的眼中，她认为Bingley肯定需要雇用他们家的一个男孩子来为其工作。24What does the writer intend to tell us?AWomen with brains can also be as successful as men. BWomen have to pay a high price for success. CA judgment must be made free from prejudice. DSex discrimination still exists nowadays. 解析：选D观点态度题。根据文章最后一段可知，当然，这种事依然存在，Bennet夫人是公司领导层中屈指可数的女性之一，她的薪水和奖金比男性同事少，作为城市商业领袖的年限也会比男同事短。可推断出，作者打算告诉读者，性别歧视在今天依然存在。BScientists in London are working to develop a wheelchair that can be moved simply by looking in the direction in which the user wishes to travel. Most paralyzed (瘫痪的) people can still move their eyes because they are directly connected to the brain. Some existing technologies already allow severely disabled people to stare at arrows (箭头) on a computer and direct the movement of a wheelchair. But there are problems with that system, including a delay between the movement of the eyes and the wheelchair. “Current tracking software often uses a screenbased system where you have a screen open and you look at locations on the screen. The problem with that is that it diverts (转移) the users attention from the outside world and therefore theres more risk of not noticing other things like stones in the way，”said Kirubin Pillay, a PhD student at Imperial College London. A team led by Aldo Faisal at Imperial College London has developed a software that allows users to move the chair just by looking in the direction they want to take. “Our eyes are not only a window into our soul. Theyre also a window to our intentions. So if we want to go somewhere, we will look there in a specific manner. We can build a computer system that can decode (解码) our eye movements，and so we observe eye movements with an eye tracker, and the computer interprets these commands and drives the wheelchair accordingly，”said Fasial. Two cameras trained on the eyes observe their movements and can determine whether a patient is merely looking around or wants to move in a certain direction. Visual information detected by cameras is analyzed by algorithms(计算程序)and then translated into instructions for movement thats almost instantaneous(瞬间的)The camerabased system costs only about $85 because most of the work is done by the algorithms. No expensive hardware is needed. The London team hopes to make the system commercially available within three years. 【解题导语】伦敦的科学家们正在研发一种轮椅，通过安装的镜头来观察眼睛的运动，使用者只需要用眼睛看向想要去的方向，轮椅便会自动前进。25One of the current tracking softwares problems is_. Athere is a mistake in itBthere is a delay between the movement of the eyes and the wheelchairCit costs much and few people can afford itDit cant follow the users wish exactly解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“But there are problems with that system, including a delay between the movement of the eyes and the wheelchair. ”可知B项正确。26The new wheelchair being developed will _. Ause a screenbased system to let the user moveBavoid the risks of being blocked in the wayCmove directly in the direction the user wants to goDdetermine the users moving direction解析：选C细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“.move the chair just by looking in the direction they want to take. ”可知C项正确。27What can we infer from the text?AThe price of the new wheelchair will not be very high. BThe new wheelchair can move very fast. CPeople can buy the new wheelchair in the market now. DThe new wheelchair is mostly conducted by hardware. 解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知A项正确。28The author of the text aims to _. Astress the importance of a new wheelchairBmake the new wheelchair widely usedCexplain the process of developing a wheelchairDintroduce a system developed by scientists解析：选D写作意图题。由文章内容可知，作者是在讲述科学家们发明的一种新系统，故D项正确。CThe voice in your head is a lie. What you hear when you open your mouth is distinctly less beautiful than what everyone around you hears. Your voice emanates from the lower portion of your throat, as expelled air from the lungs passes across your vocal chords (声韧带)，which vibrate (振动) to produce sound. This sound is then made louder by your voice box, changed into words by your tongue and lips, and spread through the surrounding atmosphere until it enters your listeners ear canal to stimulate their eardrums (鼓膜) and structures within the inner earwhich then convert the analog waveform (模拟波形) to electrical impulses that the brain can understand. However，the inner ear doesnt just pick up sound from external sources. Vibrations coming from within your body can activate these auditory (听觉的) structures as well. And when you speak，the rapid fluttering of your vocal chords actually causes your entire braincase to vibrate. “When you speak，the vocal folds in your throat vibrate, which causes your skin, skull and oral cavities to also vibrate, and we perceive this as sound，” Ben Hornsby, a professor of audiology at Vanderbilt University, said. But sound doesnt travel through bone nearly as easily as it does through air. This effect is heightened by the fact that you really cant hear your own voice directly, because your ears are positioned behind your mouth, and the sounds coming out of your mouth must first bounce off objects and back into your ears. This, too, causes the waveform to lose energy as well as frequency and pitch, resulting in you hearing a distorted, lower tone than what people hear directly from out of your mouth. “You hear your voice in stereo，” Michael Kelly said，“while other people just hear it in mono (单声道)” Thats why you may think you sound like James Earl Jones in your head, but end up sounding like Steve Urkel on tape. 【解题导语】本文主要说明了为什么你的声音和你听到的不一样。29What is the main idea of the text?AWhy your voice sounds different inside your head. BThe difference between the sound you hear and others hear. CHow people produce a voice before they can hear it. DHow your voice spreads in the air and in your head. 解析：选A主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲的是人们的声音和他们自己听到的不一样，所以选A。30What is the meaning of the phrase “emanates from” in the second paragraph?AComes from. BBenefits from. CDiffers from. DSuffers from. 解析：选A词义猜测题。根据文章第二段内容可知，声音是从喉咙下部发出的，所以选A。31According to Ben Hornsby, how is sound formed?AIt is formed by the sound produced only by the throat. BIt is the result of the whole braincase vibrating. CIt is from the quick movement of your vocal chords. DIt is received by the inner ear from the outside world. 解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“And when you speak, the rapid fluttering of your vocal.entire braincase to vibrate. ”可知，Ben Hornsby所说的话是对这句话的进一步解释说明，所以选B。32Why cannot you hear your voice right away?AThe waveform has lost energy, frequency and pitch. BThe sound travels through bone less easily than it does through air. CThe sound bounces off before entering your ears. DYour eardrum is affected by the feedback of the waveform. 解析：选C细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“This effect is heightened.cant hear your own voice directly，because your ears are.”可知，你自己发出的声音经过传导物体的传播之后能量减弱，频率和音高都发生了变化，所以选C。DI found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging.
