Reading Comprehension
Directions:There are two passages iⅡthis part． Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D．You should decide on the best choice．
Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:
Passage One
The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them．
The reality is very different．Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men．
They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider．And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children．
All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite．
The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories．It is a sort of work women do．Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them．
Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers． Not a lot of men among that group, are there?
Yet some of those jobs are really important．Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start．
So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women．
This is not going to be put right overnight． But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start．
It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens．
Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men( )．
A． after 25 years
B． according to the law
C． as a result of the Equal Pay Act
D． because women are as strong as men
正确答案：B
B[解析]根据the Equal Pay Act应该做到男女平等，C选项错在并不是因为the Equal Pay Act的结果。所以答案选B。 -

There are many ways of defining success.It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily.Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities,it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.
For some people,simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep,enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature,and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society.On the other hand,it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions,many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful,one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving suecess,but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.
A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success:"You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown."The counselor added,"You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like,and to which you have given your best effort."The last paragraph implies that__________.
A:we should have high goals
B:success means achieving great goals
C:success means taking a walk in the park
D:success means trying one's best at what one really likes答案：D解析：推断题。根据第一段最后一句：Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities,it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly．由于每个人天赋有所不同，而且所拥有的可以使这种天赋得以实现的有利环境也因人而异，确实应该对成功做一个广义的定义。该句话暗示取得成功的主要因素就是能力和环境。因此正确答案选C。
词义推断题。thrifty“节约的”; wealthy“富有的”; wasteful“浪费的”; miserable“可怜的，悲惨的”。根据该句中…poor shepherd...enjoy his frugal life…以及后一句话中的 On the other hand ,...appear to be rich....seem to be miserable…通过对照来说明财富并不是评判成功的标准。贫穷的牧羊人虽然生活节俭但很享受，而有钱人却过着自认为悲惨的生活。
细节题。根据第二段第三句：...some people appear to be rich in material possessions，…consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success．有的人似乎物质上很富裕，可是按照他们自己对于成功的判断标准来看，他们却并不认为自己成功。由此可知，有些富人之所以觉得自己不成功就是因为他们按照自己对于成功的标准来判断。因此正确答案选D。
推断题。最后一段最后一句：The counselor added,"You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like , and to which you have given your best effort.”这位咨询人员补充道：除非你已经尽力而为但没有做成自己特别喜欢的事情，否则你并没有失败，也没有减少成功的概率。由此可以推断：只有已经尽力而为但没有做成自己喜欢的事情才是失败，只要是尽力做好自己喜欢的事情就是成功。因此正确答案选D。
主旨题。根据第一段第一句：There are many ways of defining success．和最后一句：...it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly．可知本文主要内容即成功的定义。第二段主要通过举例子的方式来说明成功的定义可以很宽泛。最后一段则是通过一位咨询人士之口来暗示出：只要尽最大的努力去做自己喜欢的事情就是成功。因此正确答案选A。 -

第4题：
问答题Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. In the United States today, many people want a college education. However, almost half of the people who go to college now do not attend a four-year college. Instead, they go to a community college. The community college offers a two-year course of study in a wide range of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry. Some people choose a community college because of cost. The tuition for a semester at a community college can be less than half the cost of a semester at a four-year college. Also, since these colleges are located in large communities, their students can save money by living at home. Community colleges are also useful for people who have jobs and who do not have time for a traditional four-year college. Some of these people take night courses at community colleges. Others complete long-distance courses, in which they stay at home and use video-tapes, audiotapes, and the Internet. Community colleges also serve high school graduates who only achieved low grades. Many of these students would not be admitted to a four-year college. If they do well, they may go on to a four-year college. Today, the country’s 1,500 community colleges have more than 10 million students. These colleges are making it possible for more and more people to continue their education. Questions: 1．What is the passage mainly about? 2．What does theyin paragraph 1 refer to? 3．In which fields does a community college provide job training? 4．Why do people often prefer to go to a community college? 5．What does the word tuitionin paragraph 3 mean?正确答案：
1.(the advantages of)community college 本文主要介绍了与普通高校相比,社区学院的各项优点,如:开设课程广泛、学费低以及适合各类学生进修等。
2.half of the people who go to college now ”instead”表意思转折,前后共享一个主语。
3.business, government, or industry 第二段最后一句提到社区学院在商务,政府和工业领域为学生提供职能培训。
4.low cost 第三段提到许多人出于费用考虑选择社区学院,因为它的学费低于四年制高校的一半,并且因为离家近很多学生可以直接住在家里从而节省住宿费。这是community college区别于其他院校最大的地方。
5.cost 本段提到许多人出于cost考虑选择社区学院,并且由第二句话可推断tuition与cost是近义词。tuition学费。解析： 暂无解析 -

段落首句和最后一句表达了整段的主要含义。根据首句，西方文化通常认为性别有两性之分，即男性或女性，但也指出“it is far from universal”，并不是所有人都认同这个观点，因此选项A、C是正确的。最后一句提到，“There is no equivalent of hijras in the contemporary Western conceptualization of gender”，“hijra”概念的不存在并不表示没有人相信，因此不选择B项。 -
