31、ON50 November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. This day was recognized by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1999 with a view to raising public awareness of violations of the rights of women. Why was this step necessary?In many cultures women are
32、viewed and treated as inferior or as second class citizens. Prejudices against them are deep rooted. Gender-based violence in all its forms is an ongoing problem, even in the so-called developed world. According to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, “Violence against women is global in reach, a
33、nd takes place in all societies and cultures. It affects women no matter what their race, social origin, birth or other status may be.“Radhika Coomaraswamy, UN expert of the Commission on Human Rights on Violence Against Women, says in his report that for the vast majority of women, violence against
34、 women is “a taboo issue, invisible in society and a shameful fact of life.“ Statistics issued by a victim study institution in Holland indicate that 23 percent of women in one South American country, or about 1 in 4, suffer some form of domestic violence. Likewise, the Council of Europe estimates t
35、hat 1 in 4 European women suffer domestic violence during their lifetime. According to the British Home Office in England and Wales in one recent year, an average of two women each week were killed by current or former partners. The magazine India Today International reported that “for women across
36、India, fear is a constant companion and rape is the stranger they may have to confront at every corner, on any road, in any public place at any hour.“ UN experts described violence against women and girls as “todays most serious human rights challenge.“51 This passage is intended to_.（A）point out th
37、e root of violence against women（B） find solutions to violence against women（C） criticize the governments inaction about violence against women（D）make people better aware of violence against women52 The word “gender“ in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_.（A）race（B） society（C） culture（D）sex53 Acco
38、rding to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, violence against women could be widely found_.（A）in rich countries（B） in poor countries（C） in developing countries（D）across the world54 By “violence against women is a taboo issue,“ Radhika Coomaraswamy means that the vast majority of women_.（A）turn a
39、 blind eye to the problem（B） dont want to talk about the problem（C） turn a deaf ear to the problem（D）have been accustomed to the problem55 According to the last paragraph, violence against women is_.（A）more serious in South American countries（B） more serious in European countries（C） equally serious
40、in South American and European countries（D）less serious in developed countries56 According to the passage, women in India_.（A）often live in the fear of violence against them（B） suffer more serious domestic violence（C） must have their companions everywhere（D）are facing most serious human rights chall
41、enges56 When you think of monkeys, you probably think of the tropics. Few species of monkeys venture into temperate lands. Nevertheless, there are one or two notable exceptions.In the high Atlas Mountains of North Africa, where snowfall is common during the winter, small groups of Barbary apes roam
42、through forests of cedar and oak. One isolated group of these monkeys can be found 200 miles to the north, living on the Rock of Gibraltar, at the southern most tip of Europe.How do naturalists explain this mystery? Some believe that the monkeys colonized other areas of Europe in the distant past an
43、d that those of Gibraltar are the only surviving group. Others think that Arabic or British colonizers brought them to the Rock. Legend has it that the monkeys crossed the narrow straits dividing Europe from Africa by means of a long-lost underground tunnel. Whatever their origin, they are now the o
44、nly free range monkeys found in Europe.The Barbary apes are not actually apes. They are tailless monkeys. The Barbary apes inhabit the pine woods that cover the upper part of the Rock. Although they number only a hundred or so, they have become “the peninsulas most famous residents,“ according to th
45、e International Primate Protection League.Since seven million tourists visit Gibraltar every year, the mischievous monkeys have an ample food supply. Although they feed on wild plants, they have become skilled at begging and occasionally stealing food from visitors. Local authorities also provide th
46、e monkeys with fruit and vegetables.Apart from feeding, the monkeys spend 20 percent of their day grooming each other. Both male and female monkeys care for and play with the young ones. They live in close knit groups, where stress sometimes leads to confrontation. While the older monkeys use threat
47、s and screams to chase away the younger ones, they also have an unusual tooth-chattering behavior that seems to calm them down.Their arrival on Gibraltar may remain a mystery; still, these sociable monkeys add a special charm to the limestone headland that guards the entrance to the Mediterranean Se
48、a. Gibraltar would not be the same without them.57 The monkeys on the Rock of Gibraltar are special because_.（A）they live in tropic areas（B） they inhabit temperate lands（C） they live in forests（D）they came from North Africa58 Which of the following is NOT the possible origin of the Gibraltar monkeys
49、?（A）They may be the surviving group of European monkeys.（B） They may have been brought to Gibraltar by colonizers.（C） They may have come from Africa through the long-lost tunnel.（D）They may have swum across the narrow straits from Africa.59 The population of “the peninsulas most famous residents“_.（A）is growing rapidly（B） outnumbers the local people（C） is threatened by too many visitors（D）is about five scores
