Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Both Mercy Warren and Abigail Adams admired Catherine Macaulay; the radical author of A History of England, who supported the cause of the American patriots. Under Macaulays influence Mercy W
29、arren conceived her plan to write a history of the American Revolution, living to complete it in 1805. Abigail Adams rejected literary ambitions for her- self and never lost her sense of inferiority about her poor spelling and ignorance of Latin. Yet her letters, rather than Warrens plays and verse,
30、 have become the greater source in documenting signs of a dawning feminist consciousness. Abigail Adams welcomed every advance for women and foresaw more than could be realized in her lie time. She urged her husband, the second President of United States, to “remember the ladies in the new code of l
31、aws, and to give married women protection from tyrannical husbands. As she pointed out, the terrible deficiencies in education for women were felt at all levels, she finally made the significant request to her husband, that the new constitution “be distinguished from Learning and Virtue, “ and sugge
32、sted that “if we mean to have Heroes, Statesmen and Philosophers, we should have learned women. “This awareness of educations value, rooted in the Enlightenment faith in human potentiality, had feminist implications before there was a feminist idol. A younger contemporary of similar background gave
33、the reading public an explicit feminist argument for the education of women. The views of Judith Sargeant Murray (1775 1820)reflected both personal and family experience. Murrays Gleaner essays published in the 1790s transcended the boundaries of her world in recognizing the need for training women
34、to earn their own living. Although, like Mercy Warren and Abigail Adams, she was brought up with the values of gentility, she knew through personal hardship that even women of her class might be forced to be self-supporting; education could provide independence for women in need, whether they were u
35、nmarried women or widows or wives. 46 The main topic of the passage is _. （ A） Abigail Adams life （ B） women historians （ C） 3early sources of feminist thinking （ D） literary ambitions of Judith Sargeant Murray 47 What does the author mean by the statement that Abigail Adams “foresaw more than could

37、hould be well educated in order to support themselves （ B） womens rights must be protected by new laws （ C） the accomplishments of women are ignored in most historical documents （ D） women need to become more active in political affairs 49 What did Mercy Warren, Abigail Adams, and Judith Sargeant Mu
38、rray have in common? （ A） They all wrote books. （ B） They were all responsible for the financial support of their families. （ C） They were all interested in womens accomplishments. （ D） They all had influential families. 50 It can be inferred from the passage that _. （ A） American women were not tre

40、om than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people Who worked for them. Often new products were dan
41、gerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers. Of course sometimes there were teal disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the he
42、alth of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquires; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who
43、 had died Or become seriously ill. Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. A
44、nother department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell.

As each new chemical pesticide is used, the insects
49、or rodents gradually become used to it. The pests change themselves so that they are not killed by the poison. Therefore, farmers, scientists, and food planners are trying a new method to control the pests that attack their crops, This method is called Integrated Pest Management or IPM.
