It is frequently assumed that the mechanization of work has a revolutionary effect on the livesof the people who operate the new machines and on the society into which the machines have beenintroduced. For example, it has been suggested that the employment of women in industry takethem out of the. household, their traditional sphere and fundamentally alter their position in society.In the nineteenth century, when women began to enter factories, Jules Simon, a French politician,warned that by doing so, women would give up their femininity. Fredrich Engels, however,predicted that women would be liberated from the"social, legal, and economic subordination" ofthe family by technological developments that made possible the recruitment of "the whole femalesex .., into public industry." Observers thus differed concerning the social desirability ofmechanization's effects, but thev agreed that it would trmsiorm women's lives.
Historians, particularly thnse investigating the history of women, now seriously question thisassumption of transforming power. They conclude that such dramatic technological innovations asthe spinning jenny, the sewing tnachine, the typewriter, and the vacuum cleaner have not resultedin equally dramatic social changes in women's economic position or in the prevailing evaluation ofwomen's work. The employment of young women in textile mills during the Industrial Revolutionwas largely and extension of an older pattern of employment for young, single women as domestics.It was not the change in office technology, but rather the separation of secretarial work, previouslyseen as an apprenticeship for beginning managers, from administrative work that in the 1880'screated a new class of "dead end" jobs, thenceforth considered "women's work". The increase inthe numbers of married women enployed outside the home in the twentieth century, had less to dowith the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it didwith their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool ofsingle women worke, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire.
Women's work has changed considerably in the past 200 years, moving from the household tothe ofiice or the factory, and later becoming mostly white-collar instead of blue-collar work. Fundamentally, however, the conditions under which women work have changed little since the Industrial Revolution: the segregation of occupatious by gender, lower pay for women as a group,jobs that require relatively low levels of skill and offer women little opportunity for advancement all persist, while women's household labour remains demanding. Recent historical investigation has led to a major revision of the notion that lec.hnology is always inherently revolutionary in its effectson society. Mechanization may even have slowed any change in the traditional position of womeu both in the labour market and in the home.
Which of the following statement is Not true?
查看材料A．Now the phenomenon of choosing employees by gender does no longer exist.
B．Women have little opportunity for promotion.
C．Women are needed to do much housework.
D．Women always get low pay in their occupations.答案：A解析：A项意为“如今，按性别雇佣员工的现象已经不复存在。”这与第三段第二句中“the segregation of occupations by gender”(按性别区分职业)相矛盾，因此不正确。其他选项均可在第三段第二句中找到依据。 -

BIt is inspired by women’s families.

正确答案： C解析：
由第二段第三句“But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numberous to ignore. (女人具有“照顾别人的特征”至少有部分是天生的，此类迹象多得不容忽视。)”可知，女性的这个特征有先天方面的原因。A项与句意相矛盾，B、C两项文章中均没提到。故选D。 -

单选题According to the passage, which of the following is true of the Seneca Falls conference on women’s rights?AIt was primarily a product of nineteenth-century Saint-Simonian feminist thought.
BIt was the work of American activists who were independent of feminists abroad.
CIt was the culminating achievement of the Utopian socialist movement.
DIt was a manifestation of an international movement for social change and feminism
正确答案： B解析：
由文章第一段倒数第二句可知，在欧洲意识形态，包括乌托邦社会主义思想的影响之下，美国女权主义开始普及，而1848年召开的Seneca Falls Conference则使这一运动达到了顶峰。因此这次会议便成为女权运动发展的一个典型体现。D选项正是此意。 -
第8题：

BWomen had the right to vote throughout the country in 1920.
CA little number of women held high academic and government positions in 1920.
D“Career women” were largely restricted to some areas.
正确答案： C解析：
事实细节题。由文章第三段可知，到1900年，不少州的妇女已经赢得了选举权，但这并不意味着美国妇女在1900年以前没有选举权。其他三项均可以在文中找到对应语句。 -
第9题：
单选题Which of the following is TRUE?AIn the 1920s, women were limited to being teachers, nurses or office workers.
BWomen mainly paid their attention to how they were paid in the 1960s.
CWomen asked to change “all men are created equal” into “all human beings are created equal”.
DNo states have ever provided women with jobs in the government.
正确答案： A解析：
推理判断题。从文章的第四段第一句话The Women’s Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s, has focused on economic rights such as ‘equal pay for equal work’ 可知，在20世纪60年代，美国妇女的权利运动主要集中在同工同酬方面，主要关注的是自己的经济地位。所以B项正确。A项错误，倒数第二段末句提到女性的职业主要有teachers, nurses or office workers，而不是在这几个职业上受到限制。C项错误，由末句可知，是妇女解放运动的领导认为all men are created equal的意思是所有人类平等，而不是只有男人平等。D项错误，由with jobs in the government.定位倒数第二段倒数第二句，可知只有很少的妇女在学术和政府方面担任高层。 -

BMcDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.
CMcDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.
DMcDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.
正确答案： D解析：
文章首段提到“Since its founding in 1948”，麦当劳成立于1948年，故A项正确；由“McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.”可知，麦当劳起初规模很小，而现在全球3万多个城市都有麦当劳的分店，故C、D两项正确。B项“麦当劳在全世界每个城市都有分店”过于绝对，首段只提到其在118个国家有分店。故本题选B。 -

查看材料A．The mechanization of work has a revolutionary eftct.
B．The social mechanization would "aftct women's lives.
C．The social status of women has changed.
D．Observers have different ideas about the effect of social mechanizatiou.答案：B解析：第一段讲到，普遍认为：劳动的机械化对操作机器的人以及引进机器的社会都有革命性的影响。工业中雇佣妇女使她们从家务这样的传统领域中解放出来，并且从根本上改善了她们在社会上的地位。接着讲到，观察者关于社会机械化对妇女的影响持有不同观点，但他们一致认为这必将改变妇女们的生活。由此可知，第一段主要讲了社会机械化对妇女的影响，B项符合。 -

第16题：
Passage?One
The small number of newborn babies,which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women,is one of the most serious problems inAsia.When people talk about it,you can hear a word invented inJapan,"DINKS",which means Double Income No Kids.
In many majorAsian cities like Seoul,Singapore,and Tokyo,the cost of a house is extremelyhigh.A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about$300,000（though prices have fallen）.For a flat with one bedroom,onedining-room,a kitchen,and a bathroom,the couple will pay about$900 amonth.What′s more,if they want to have a child,the child′s education is veryexpensive.For example,most kindergarten charges are at least$5,000 a year.In such a situation,it′s difficult to afford children.
The number ofmarried women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoytheir jobs.However,if they want to have children,they immediately haveserious problems.Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for ashort time to have a baby,they expect women with babies to give up their jobs.In short,if they want to bring up children properly,both parents have towork,but it is hard for mothers to work.Indeed,women who want to continueworking have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.
In a word,Asiangovernments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon aspossible.
According to the passage,which of thefollowing is TRUE?A.It is easy for a couple to afford achild in Asia.
B.The prices of houses in Asia are quitelow now.
C.Fewer and fewer married women want tohave a job.
D.The word"DINKS"firstappeared in an Asian country.答案：D解析：A．B、C三项都和文章涉及的内容相反。由第一段第二句“When people talkabout it，you can hear a word invented in Japan.‘DINKS’.which means Double Income No Kids.”可得出D项正确。 -

第18题：
单选题Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?AMany people protested in the past six months.
BMany people threw tomatoes at the German Chancellor.
CMany people threw eggs at an important member of the German Chancellor’s Social Democrats.
DMany people threw eggs at the German Chancellor, but he was not hit.
正确答案： C解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。根据录音结尾提到的“Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks…”，可知，这次抗议持续了六周，而非选项A中的six months。另外，录音中提到“The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats”，可知抗议过程中有人朝Gerhard Schroeder总理领导的社会民主党中一位重要人物投掷番茄，由此可见，B项和C项的说法均有误。再者，录音最后的“Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark”，表明人们朝德国总理Schroeder扔过鸡蛋，但未击中，可见，选项D与录音原文内容相符。
【录音原文】
The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats has posed a legal dilemma for authorities trying to assess how to punish the thrower. Police investigating the fruit, thrown by an unemployed protestor at the premier of the state of Brandenburg, said they have concluded it was a yellow tomato. Had it been a soft red one, the man would have faced a lesser charge of causing malicious damage. A harder, green tomato could carry the tougher charge of bodily harm. A yellow one is somewhere in between. “In these types of cases it has to do with the consistency of the fruit,” said a spokeswoman for the court in the eastern city of Cottbus. No decision on the charge has yet been reached. Social democratic politicians have been facing the wrath of the public in recent months, especially in the economically depressed east where many people face painful jobless benefit cuts from January 2005. Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks and Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark. -
