At last, she went to see her doctor, _5_ she had known for years. The doctor listened to her complaints and gave her a fairly thorough examination. Then, he said to her, “There is _6_ seriously wrong with your physical condition, but I accept the fact that you don’t feel well. I am going to give you some pills that should _7_. I want you to take one after dinner and one a half hour before going to bed tonight. Call me tomorrow and tell me how you feel.” The next morning Mrs. Brown telephoned to say, “Doctor, it’s very nice of you. I had the first _8_ night’s sleep last night in two months. What on earth is in those pills?” The doctor said, “It’s an old formula I have used for years. Just _9_ taking them for a week.” Turning to his nurse, he said, “It’s _10_ what a little soda can do.” [共10题](1)(A) certainly (B) really (C) immediately (D) probably(2)(A) able (B) unable (C) going (D) about(3)(A) helped her with (B) separated her from(C) prevented her from (D) about(4)(A) the worse (B) the more(C) the better (D) the happier(5)(A) whose (B) whom(C) that (D) which(6)(A) everything (B) anything(C) nothing (D) something(7)(A) do (B) use (C) help (D) take(8)(A) good (B) strange (C) bad (D) short(9)(A) give up (B) remember (C) start (D) keep on(10)(A) necessary (B) wonderful (C) important (D) harmful

    Going Her Own Way

    When she was twelve,Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life.She decided
    that she wanted to continue her education.Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home after
    primary school,though some attended private Catholic"finishing"schools.There they learned a little about
    music,art,needlework,and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested
    Maria-or her mother. By this time,she had begun to take her studies more seriously.She read constantly
    and brought her books everywhere.One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study
    in the dark.
    Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way.That meant attending the public high
    school,something that very few girls did.In Italy at the time,there were two types of high schools:the
    "classical"schools and the"technical"schools. In the classical schools,the students followed a very tradi-
    tional program of studies,with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature,and Italian literature and
    history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
    Maria,however,wanted to attend a technical school.The technical schools were more modern than the
    classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages,mathematics,science,and accounting. Most
    people一including Maria's father一believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.
    Furthermore,they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
    Maria did not care if it was proper or not.Math and science were the subjects that interested her most.
    But before she could sign up for the technical school,she had to win her father's approval. She finally did,
    with her mother's help,though for many years after,there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to
    oppose her plans,while her mother helped her.
    In 1883,at age thirteen,Maria entered the"Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti"in Rome.
    Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine.Though the courses included modern subjects,the
    teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating
    them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way.
    Teachers were very demanding;discipline in the classroom was strict;punishment was severe for those who
    failed to achieve or were disobedient.

    Maria's father probably__________.
    A:had very modern views about women
    B:had traditional views about women
    C:had no opinion about women
    D:thought women could not learn Latin

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章第三段第一句话“Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school.”可知答案为C。
    由文章第一段第三句话“Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home afterprimary school...”可知答案为B
    由文章第三段倒数第二句话“Most people including Maria' s father believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.”说明玛利亚的父亲对女人所持的是传统观念。
    由文章最后一段最后一句话可知,在那时的意大利高中学校中,教师是非常严格的。
    文章内容表明,玛利亚意志非常坚定,她冲破传统的束缚,进了她向往的技校。

  • 第10题:

    A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车).They came to a log cabin(小木屋).The man shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin.Sarah,the young woman,got down from the wagon,opened wide her arms and heldthe boy close.
    "Hello,Abe Lincoln,"she said."I think we′ll be good friends."
    The new mother with the smiling face went to work at once.She washed Abe and hissister and tidied(弄整齐)their hair.And that night she threw away the boy′s mattress(床垫)of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keephim warm at night.
    Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe.She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes.
    Maybe,if she hadn′t come to the cabin,he wouldn′t have lived to be a man.When Abe′s father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm,Sarah took Abe′s part against his father.Abe would rather read than eat,and when hisfather told him to stop,Sarah said,"Let the boy read."
    In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem.For the last time she had taken Abe′s part against his father.For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read.More than twenty years later,when Abe,who had then become famous,was going to make a speech in a nearby town,Sarah went there just to watch him.In the crowd she tried to make herself small,but he saw her,and in front of everybody,got out of his carriage and went overand put his arms around her and kissed her.Yes,that was her Abe.
    "Heloved me truly,"she said later.

    Sarah always took Abe′s part against his father because she

    Goldie's Secret

    She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

    I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given

    her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

    That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

    By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. '

    I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

    56. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?

    A. Shocked.

    B. Sympathetic.

    C. Annoyed.

    school,something that very few girls did.In Italy at the time,there were two types of high schools:the
    "classical"schools and the"technical"schools. In the classical schools,the students followed a very tradi-
    tional program of studies,with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature,and Italian literature and
    history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
    Maria,however,wanted to attend a technical school.The technical schools were more modern than the
    classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages,mathematics,science,and accounting. Most
    people一including Maria's father一believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.
    Furthermore,they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
    Maria did not care if it was proper or not.Math and science were the subjects that interested her most.
    But before she could sign up for the technical school,she had to win her father's approval. She finally did,
    with her mother's help,though for many years after,there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to
    oppose her plans,while her mother helped her.
    In 1883,at age thirteen,Maria entered the"Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti"in Rome.
    Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine.Though the courses included modern subjects,the
    teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating
    them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way.
    Teachers were very demanding;discipline in the classroom was strict;punishment was severe for those who
    failed to achieve or were disobedient.

    We can infer from this passage that__________.
    A:girls usually attended private primary schools
    B:only girls attended classical schools
    C:girls did not like going to school
    D:Maria was a girl who had very strong will

    答案:D
    解析:
    由文章第三段第一句话“Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school.”可知答案为C。
    由文章第一段第三句话“Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home afterprimary school...”可知答案为B
    由文章第三段倒数第二句话“Most people including Maria' s father believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.”说明玛利亚的父亲对女人所持的是传统观念。
    由文章最后一段最后一句话可知,在那时的意大利高中学校中,教师是非常严格的。
    文章内容表明,玛利亚意志非常坚定,她冲破传统的束缚,进了她向往的技校。

  • 第22题:

    A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车).They came to a log cabin(小木屋).The man shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin.Sarah,the young woman,got down from the wagon,opened wide her arms and heldthe boy close.
    "Hello,Abe Lincoln,"she said."I think we′ll be good friends."
    The new mother with the smiling face went to work at once.She washed Abe and hissister and tidied(弄整齐)their hair.And that night she threw away the boy′s mattress(床垫)of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keephim warm at night.
    Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe.She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes.
    Maybe,if she hadn′t come to the cabin,he wouldn′t have lived to be a man.When Abe′s father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm,Sarah took Abe′s part against his father.Abe would rather read than eat,and when hisfather told him to stop,Sarah said,"Let the boy read."
    In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem.For the last time she had taken Abe′s part against his father.For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read.More than twenty years later,when Abe,who had then become famous,was going to make a speech in a nearby town,Sarah went there just to watch him.In the crowd she tried to make herself small,but he saw her,and in front of everybody,got out of his carriage and went overand put his arms around her and kissed her.Yes,that was her Abe.
    "Heloved me truly,"she said later.

    Sarah said Abe loved her truly because

    A.Abe saw her in the crowd though she tried to make herself small
    B.Abe didn't forget about his mother 20 years later
    C.Abe kissed her in front of everybody
    D.Abe said this to her himself

    答案:B
    解析:
    考情点拨:事实细节题应试指导:从倒数第二、三段可知,Abe和Sarah.二十多年没有见面了,当AN"在人群中看到Sarah,他当众拥抱Sarah并亲吻她,说明Abe二十多年来没有忘记他的妈妈
