19、ty, equality of opportunity in education and employment, right of voting, and freedom of marriage. Today, complete political, economic, and social equality with men remains to be achieved. 2 Male control was obvious from the time of the earliest written historical records, probably as a result of me

20、ns role in hunting and warfare. The belief that women were naturally weaker and inferior to men was also found in god-centered religions. Therefore, in most traditional societies, women generally were at a disadvantage. Their education was limited to learning domestic skills, and they had no access

21、to positions of power.

22、19th century. In 1848 more than 100 persons held the first womens rights convention in New York, and the feminists demanded equal rights, including the vote. 4 In the late 1960s women made up about 40 percent of the work force in England, France, Germany, and the United States.

They knew well

28、 that good roads were necessary for keeping the extended empire together. The first of the great empire road builders were the Persians (波斯人 ). Between 500 and 400 B. C. all the parts of the Persian Empire were connected by roads with the capital city. The main, or “royal“, road began near what is n

29、ow Turkey(土耳其 ), and ended in Susa. The road had well-built inns where travelers could rest and eat, and tax-houses like those on a modern highway. The people of Greece, unlike the Persians, believed that their city-states could remain independent only if the roads between them were not too good. Be

30、sides, the landscape(风景 ) full of mountains in Greece made road building an extremely difficult job. As a result, the Greeks turned to the sea, and instead of highways, developed sea routes that reached distant lands. By far the greatest of the ancient road builders were the Romans. The Romans, like

31、 the Persians before them, recognized the importance of land routes to keep their empire together. At the height of its power, the Roman Empire covered about 2,000,000 square miles. It extended from Spain in the west to the banks of the Caspian Sea(里海 ) in the east. And from England in the northwest

32、, the empire stretched south to include the coastal lands of North Africa. By about 120 A.D. the Romans had built an extraordinary network of about 50,000 miles of roads. The roads were originally built for military traffic moving from one part of the empire to another, but during periods of peace t

33、hese same roads were busy with traders and travelers. You can still travel over Roman roads in many parts of Europe today. The Roman engineers knew how to build things that would last and last. 31 The Persians started to build roads about _. （ A） 500 years ago （ B） 2000 years ago （ C） 1600 years ago

35、ed in building roads because _. （ A） they didnt want the city-states to be dependent on one another （ B） they thought the roads between the cities were not good enough （ C） they liked the natural landscape full of mountains （ D） they could easily reach other lands by sea 34 The Roman roads at first

36、were built for _. （ A） connecting the cities within the country （ B） moving soldiers and weapons around （ C） transporting goods within the country （ D） amusing travelers and traders 35 The Roman roads were mostly built in _. （ A） Spain （ B） North Africa （ C） Europe （ D） Britain 36 On Being a Matchma

37、ker The first thing I do when I wake up is to make a mental list of all things I have to do that day. Im very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking (媒人 ) ideas come while Im in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be good with whom. Before I di

38、d matchmaking, I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave up my job, did a bit of research

39、and started the matchmaking business in 1970. Over the last few years weve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain. Europeans want to meet British people. For every 100 people who come to us, about 65 will settle down. We keep going until clients (委托人 ) find someone tha

40、t they get on very well with. Were great triers. Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle. Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients. A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time. It soon became

41、clear that he did not like changing his shirts. So I had to be very honest and frank and told him, “But a woman cant start to love you if your shirt smells.“ The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love. 36 What does the author mean by saying “Im ver

46、B） kind （ C） hard working （ D） critical 41 Faster Effective Reading A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expe

47、ct to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook-but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage (百分比 ) gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with. The read

48、ing passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might fi

49、nd in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at, say, four hundred words per minute, you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty. Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U. S.
