27、ing is very wrong with the way American women are trying to live their lives today. I sensed it first as a (41) mark in my own life, as a wife and mother of three small children, half-guiltily, and therefore half-heartedly using my abilities and education in work that took me (42) home. It was this
28、personal question mark that led me to spend a great deal of time doing an intensive investigation of my college classmates, 15 years (43) our graduation from Smith. The answers given by 200 women to those intimate open-ended questions made me realize that (44) was wrong could not be related to educa
29、tion in the way it was then believed to be. The problems and satisfaction of their lives, and mine, and the way our education had (45) them, simply did not fit the image of the modern American woman (46) she was written about in womens magazines, studied and analyzed in classrooms and clinics, prais
30、ed and damned in a ceaseless barrage of wards ever since the end of World War . There was a strange disagreement (47) the reality of our lives as women and the image to which we were trying to (48) , the image that I came to call the feminine mystique. I wondered if women (49) this schizophrenic spl
31、it(精神分裂症 ), and what it meant. And so I began to hunt down the origins of the feminine mystique, and its effect on women who (50) it, or grew up under it. （ A） question （ B） dark （ C） significant （ D） quotation （ A） far from （ B） close to （ C） away from （ D） next to （ A） later （ B） after （ C） before

33、（ A） live by （ B） appeal to （ C） write about （ D） keep off 二、 READING COMPREHENSION 50 As a rule, there is more genuine satisfaction, a truer life, and more obtained from life in the humble cottages of the poor than in the palaces of the rich. I always pity the sons and daughters at a later age, but
34、 I am glad to remember that they do not know what they have missed. They have kind fathers and mothers, and think that they enjoy the sweetness of the blessings to the fullest: but this they cannot do; for the poor who has in his father his constant companion, tutor, and model, and in his motherholy
35、 namehis nurse, teacher, guardian angel, saint, all in one, has a richer, more precious in life than any rich mans son who is not so favored can possible know, and compared with which all other fortunes count for little. It is because I know how sweet and happy and pure the home of honest poverty is
36、, show free from perplexing care, from social envies and emulations, how loving and how united its members may be in the common interest of supporting the family, that I sympathize with the rich mans boy congratulate the poor mans boy; and it is for these reasons that from the ranks of the poor so m
37、any strong, eminent, self-reliant men have always sprung and always must spring. If you will read the list of the immortals who “were not born to die,“ you will find that most of them have been born to the precious heritage of poverty. It seems, nowadays, a matter of universal desire that poverty sh
38、ould be abolished. We should be quite willing to abolish luxury, but to abolish honest, industrious, self-denying poverty would be to destroy the soil upon which mankind produces the virtues which enable our race to reach a still higher civilization than it now possesses. 51 The author pities those
39、born in rich families because_. （ A） they do not know what they have missed （ B） they are attended by servants （ C） they do not have kind parents （ D） they are deprived of a more real happiness 52 To a poor child his father is_. （ A） the guardian angel （ B） someone to learn from （ C） a servant and a

Their homes looked remarkably li
43、ke modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villag
44、es in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos“, which is Spanish for town. The people of the pueblos raise what are called “the tree sisters“ corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they coul
45、d hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, with water scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain. The way of life of less-settl
46、ed groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and snakes in the Far North the ancestors of
47、todays Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou. The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived
