请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，
A
When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously（同时的）about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech，we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
56. While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because they
A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
正确答案：C

第3题：
Beauty has always been regarded as something praise worthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine (有男子气概的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. ′When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,′ says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness___________.A.makes women look more honest and capable
B.strengthens the feminine qualities required
C.is of primary importance to women
D.often enables women to succeed quickly答案：B解析：细节题。根据traditionally female jobs定位到倒数第三段，最后一句“an attractive woman has all advantage in traditionally female jobs…lack the“masculine”qualities required”可见，在传统上由女性所从事的工作中，有魅力的女性具有一定优势；但在传统上由男性所从事的工作中，有魅力的女性看起来缺乏所需要的男性特质；由此推断，在传统上由女性所从事的工作中，魅力加强了所需的女性特质。故选B。A项与文意相反，C项和D项均未在文中体现。 -

Careers for Women
It is only seventy years since British women got the right to vote.Some people think this is the main reason why women are so under-represented in politics,trade unions and big businesses.Others feel it is simply because that they are much too busy doing other things.The old saying"a woman's place is in the home"may seem out of date to most people,but the old,fixed image of a woman as a supporting wife and caring mother is certainly still usual一one only has to watch a few television ads.
In 1975 the law did not allow women to be paid less than men doing the same work.Certainly it is usually the case nowadays that women doing the same jobs as men get the same money for doing it. But generally women do not do the same jobs:they do different ones that offer lower salaries.
In the United States,there are two million women entering the workforce every year. The new workers include all ages and backgrounds:teenagers,college students,young housewives,and older women who have lost their husbands.Altogether,more than half of the eighty-four million women in
the United States are now employed or seeking employment.Most of them are still holding tightly to the womanly jobs such as nursing,teaching,catering and office work jobs that can be seen as an extension of the mothering role.
Although the areas women work in are almost all those of"service",a growing number of pioneers are venturing into other fields. They run business;they manage farms;they become astronauts, carpenters,lawyers,truck or taxi-drivers,coal miners,or politicians.They join the army or the navy.So far no woman has become president of the country;but that might happen,as indeed it has happened in other countries.
Apart from looking after people during the day at work,women often have to take care of a family at home too,which may mean they have less energy to compete in the race for professional development. In almost every field,top positions are more likely to be filled by men. While most teachers are women,for example,most head masters are not.School cooks are women,head cooks are men and even cleaners tend to be watched over and directed by male caretakers.Women are naturally less competitive than men in work since they are not as energetic as men.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：文章第一段就指出“It is only seventy years since British women got the rightto vote"，七十年前英国妇女才获得了选举权，因此选B
文章并没有提到几十年前妇女是否因为太忙没有时间参加社会事务，所以选C。
该判断正确。文中第二段提到“Certainly it is usually the case nowadaysthat women doing the same jobs as men get the same money for doing it.”即通常和男人做同样工作的女人拿到的钱和男人一样多。
第三段最后一句说到很多妇女做的工作“can be seen as an extension of themothering role"，这些工作都可以被看作是看顾、照料型角色的扩展，mothering意思是“像母亲般照顾人的”而非“母亲”的意思，所以选B。
文章并没有提到美国是否在短期内就会产生一名女性总统，只是说“Sofar no woman has become president of the country; but that might happen"，即有可能产生女总统，所以选C。
文章最后一段表明一个事实，即女性在工作和家庭中都需要做照顾性的工作，而这也许意味着“they have less energy to compete in the race for professional development", 而不是在工作上天生不如男性精力旺盛，所以选B
文章最后一段倒数第二句提到“While most teachers are women ...most head masters are not"，即虽然大多数教师是女性，但学校的校长却不是女性。所以A正确。 -

单选题Which of the following is the best version of sentence 1 (reproduced below)?Mike Reynolds who is the author of the book, The New Girl came to our school to speak about his book, which tells about him portraying a woman for six weeks.A(As it is now)
BMike Reynolds, the author of The New Girl, spoke at our school about his book, in which he describes how he portrayed a woman for six weeks.
CMike Reynolds, the author of The New Girl, came to our school and told us about his book, where he portrayed a woman for six weeks.
DThe author of The New Girl, Mike Reynolds came to our school to speak, in it he portrayed a woman for six weeks,
EThe author of The New Girl, Mike Reynolds, spoke at our school about his book, that portrays a woman for six weeks.
正确答案： E解析：
A项不正确因为同位语“The New Girl”应该用逗号括起来，“him”应改为“his”。B项没有错误。C项中“where”的使用不正确。D项中的同位语不正确，且用一个逗号连接两个独立的主句，因此不正确。D项也改变了句子的意思。E项也不正确，因为“that”的使用不恰当，因为“that”不能用来修饰人。 -
第11题：
单选题One of the main goals of the modern woman’s liberation movement, which started in the early 1960s, was to _____ sex discrimination in the workforce, and to open up careers for women that were previously reserved for men.Aabolish
Beliminate
Cdiminish
Dextinguish
正确答案： A解析：
句意：发起于20世纪60年代早期的现代妇女解放运动的主要目的之一就是消除对劳动力的性别歧视，而且向妇女们开放那些原来属于男性的工作。妇女运动的一个主要目的应该“消除”性别歧视。eliminate彻底消除，消灭，后面可接某些表示现象、意识形态等的抽象名词，因此B为正确答案。abolish废除，取消，通常指废除或取消某种制度或法律、法规，但性别歧视不是制度或法律条文，而是一种意识形态，所以不能和abolish搭配使用。diminish使变少，变小，表示程度或数量上的减轻或减少。extinguish消失，通常指使火熄灭或使希望、热情等消亡。 -
第12题：
单选题There are ten ______ teachers and two hundred ______students in the school.Awomen; girl
Bwoman; girls
Cwomen; girls
Dwoman; girl
正确答案： B解析：
句意：这所学校中有10名女老师和200名女学生。名词通常可以直接用来修饰名词，但是当man和woman用来修饰复数名词时，其自身也常用复数形式，因此第一空用women，第二空用girl。故答案是A项。 -

第21题：
问答题Passage 3 The greatest impact on the family over the last 50 years has been the changing role of the wife. These changes have affected not only her life but also that of her husband and children. (1) The family has changed from an economically defined unit under the authority of the father and having minimal interpersonal emotional ties to a unit with strong emotional ties directed primarily by the mother to her husband and children. One important result was greater emotional and general psychological seclusion of the woman which clearly implied that the female role was culturally a secondary one. In recent decades it has become clear that for a distinct minority of American women the traditional mother role in the seclusion of the home is no longer acceptable. For many the family is of diminishing importance. The development of education for women has been a crucial factor in this change. Today, over 80 percent of all women complete four years of high school as compared to only 35 percent in 1940. This is related to the fact that marriage now occurs a year later for the average woman. The proportion of women aged 20 to 24 who are single increased from 28 percent in 1960 to 40 percent by the mid-1970s. (2) Child bearing is being postponed, so that compared to the 1960s, 10 percent fewer women bear their first Enid in the two years immediately following marriage. Furthermore, more women today remain childless. Work, older age at marriage, and fewer children are the basic changes that have taken place in women’s roles in recent years. The trend among women is toward increased education, and this is linked to other role changes. (3) The higher a woman’s educational attainment, the more likely she is to work, to stay in the labor force longer, and to have more job opportunities available to her. This further suggests that when women are married their work has a great impact on their marriages. For example, since working wives contribute 25 to 40 percent of their total family income, their position as decision-makers in the family is usually strengthened. (4) Waits points out that the social trends towards increased education for women mean not only more work experience but also delayed marriage and decreased fertility. These changes, in turn, point the way toward even greater labor force participation throughout the life cycle. The number of women entering the work force is rapidly increasing. Women outnumber men in the total population by about 7 million. (5) When that is added to the fact that labor force participation of males is slowly declining because of the trend toward earlier retirement, “it may not be too long before one out of every two American workers is a woman.”正确答案： 1. 家庭在过去是一个经济意义上的单位,在家中父亲说了算,家庭成员之间很少有情感交流;现在的家庭则变成了一个由母亲主导的、与其丈夫和孩子之间有强烈情感维系的单位。
(本句是一个很长的简单句,主干是The family has changed…,其后的介词结构from…to…是本句的状语。其中属于from这一部分的under…the father和having…emotional ties是an economically defined unit的两个并列后置定语。属于to这一部分的with…是a unit的介词后置定语。而directed by…and children则是strong emotional ties的分词后置定语。在翻译这样的长句时,必须使用拆译法,将句意疏通。)
2. 人们生儿育女的时间正在推迟,使得如今结婚两年后就生第一个孩子的女性比20世纪60年代少了10%。
(本句结构相对简单,So that前是主句,其后是结果状语从句。在这一从句中,compared to the l960s是 从句中的插入语,而immediately following marriage是从句的时间状语。在翻译时考生主要注意主句是被动 语态,不符合中文习惯,应译成相应的主动语态。)
3. 受教育程度越高,妇女去工作的可能性就越大,其从业时间就会越久,其就业机会也会更多。
(本题考查的主要是对the more…the more…这一习惯表达的理解和翻译。要注意的是本题后面是 三个并列的比较级不定式结构,翻译时要注意体现出作者的语气。词汇方面,educational attainment指的是.受教育程度,stay in the labor force可译为从业,工作。)
4. Waits指出,女性受教育程度不断提高的社会趋势不仅意味着(女性)会有更多的工作经历,还意味着(她们的)婚姻会推迟及生育减少。
(在结构上,句子主干是Waits points out,后面的that引导的是一个宾语从句,其中又含有一个not only …but also…结构,引出mean的两个宾语。词汇方面,注意fertility指的是女性的生育(能力)。)
5. 再加上由于提前退休已成为趋势,男性劳力正在慢慢减少这一事实,每两个美国工人中就有一个是女性的局面也许为时不远了。
(在句子结构上,逗号前的部分是句子的时问状语,主句则是直接引语部分。在这个时间状语从句中,第一个that指代的是本句前的一句话,第二个that引导的是一个同位语从句,修饰the fact;主句中含有一个由连词before引导的主语从句one out of…is a woman,而it作形式主语。)解析： 暂无解析 -

【录音原文】
W: Good morning, Peter.
M: Good morning, Julia.
W: Do come in. You’ve brought the result with you, I see.
M: Yes, in fact, I completed the survey last week.
W: So I can hear the criticisms now, then?
M: That’s right. And perhaps you’ll be able to tell me what can be done about them.
W: I’ll certainly do my best. Well, what would you like to start with?
M: The catalogues. I’ m afraid many of the science students complain that they’re incomplete and out of date. They think they are really bad. Is there anything you can do to improve things there?
W: Oh, yes. We can either check all the cards and reprint them where necessary, or we can change to a computer system.
M: How much would it cost to do the first?
W: About six thousand pounds.
M: And how long would it take?
W: Oh, maybe three months.
M: And how much would it cost to do the second?
W: Change to a computer system? Oh, about sixty thousand pounds.
M And how long would that take?
W: Oh, nine months, I’d say. About nine months.
M: Thank you. Now ... next I’d like to move on to the borrowing facilities. The social science students described these as rather disappointing. They complained that they were only allowed to borrow three books. Most of them felt they ought to be able to borrow more books, perhaps five or six for undergraduates and up to ten for graduates.
W: That may be possible.
M: Also, they’d like to be able to keep the books for a longer period, say three weeks instead of the present two.
W: That also sounds reasonable. I’ll see what I can do.
