Each passage is followed by a number of
18、comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater o
19、r lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decision makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fu
20、lly for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes“.If the process goes too far and man s role is regarded as less importantand that has happened in some cases we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man
21、 in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism“but we dont want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism“. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialist
22、s on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the creditnor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyse man s place in the home and to insist that he d
23、oes have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism(命令主义) has unhap
24、py consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent(相关的，切题的) not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.41 The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is_.（A）fundamental to a sound democracy（B） not pe
25、rtinent to healthy family life（C） responsible for Momism（D）what we have almost given up42 The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that_.（A）the role of the father may become an inferior one（B） the role of the mother may become an inferior one（C） the children will
26、grow up believing that life is a battle of sexes（D）sharing leads to constant arguing43 The author states that bringing up children_.（A）is mainly the mother s job（B） belongs among the duties of the father（C） is the job of schools and churches（D）involves a partnership of equals44 According to the auth
27、or, the father s role in the home is_.（A）minor because he is an ineffectual parent（B） irrelevant to the healthy development of the child（C） pertinent to the healthy development of the child（D）identical to the role of the child s mother45 With which of the following statements would the author be mos
28、t likely to agree?（A）A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.（B） Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.（C） Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.（D）A woman s place in the home now is as always.45 During the nineteenth cent
29、ury, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and, most importantly, to free the slaves. Many young women fought hard to get the right to enter the uni
30、versity as men did, and the right to work side by side with male workers in a factory or a mill. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists (废奴主义者) who supported the rights of both women and
31、blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips, also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in anti-slavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into poli
32、tics. They became involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and the conditions of others.When the Civil War ended in 1865 , the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and right to vote to blacks but not to women. Disco
33、uraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand this right. In 1869 the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than before. A women s voting bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878 but it continually fai
34、led to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote.46 With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?（A）The Wyoming Territory.（B） The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.（C） Abolitionists.（D）Womens Right to Vote.47 According to the passage, why did women become
35、 active in politics?（A）To improve the conditions of life that existed at the time.（B） To support Elizabeth Cady Stanton for president.（C） To be elected to public office.（D）To amend the Declaration of Independence.48 What had occurred shortly after the Civil War?（A）The Wyoming Territory was admitted
36、to the Union.（B） A womens suffrage bill was introduced in Congress.（C） The eastern states resisted the end of the war.（D）Black people were granted the right to vote.49 What does the Nineteenth Amendment guarantee?（A）Voting rights for blacks.（B） Citizenship for blacks.（C） Voting rights for women.（D）C
37、itizenship for women.50 When were women allowed to vote throughout the United States?（A）After 1866.（B） After 1870.（C） After 1878.（D）After 1920.50 There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most wel
38、l-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are
39、 not rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or the company may do badly. T
40、hen the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gam
41、bling (赌博) . All are anxious to make money by “gambling“ in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble“.51 According to the passage, if you have a share of a company or a factory, it means that you_.（A）can buy the company or the f
42、actory（B） can sell the company or the factory（C） will become the owner of the company or the factory（D）are one of the owners of the company or the factory52 Which of the following statements is FALSE?（A）Some rich people go to stock market.（B） All the people who want to get more money go to stock mar

46、shares55 Students want to find the best way to put information into their long-term memories. They want to be able to remember the information later when they take a test. What is the best way to learn information so that they can remember it when they want to?When you study, you should read the who
47、le lesson first. This gives you the whole picture in which to put the ideas. New information that fits into the whole picture is easier to remember than separate facts. You also learn faster if you look at headings, introductions, important words, summaries, conclusions, and anything else that help
48、to organize the material. Organized material is easier to understand.After you read a whole lesson, the next step is to study the parts. Think about how they fit into the whole picture. If you have a lot to study, dont try to do the whole job at once. Learning should be spread out and spaced. This g
49、ives the information time to “sink in“. You should study grammar three times, a half hour each time. That is better than studying for an hour and a half all at one time. Even shorter study periods are better for vocabulary lists and other difficult material. To learn the most in a two-hour study session, study different kinds of material; a half hour on grammar, 15 minutes on vocabulary, 2
