The station opened in 1904, and(27)was designed to be the most impressive station of the city’s new subway system. City Hall Station remained in use until 1945, when the station had to be closed due to certain changes in the city’s subway system. As more and more passengers started to travel by subway, it became necessary to add more cars to subway trains. This meant that subway platforms needed to be extended to fit the longer trains. (28)However, City Hall Station was originally built with a short, curved platform, making renovations to the station difficult. (29)Rather than trying to rebuild it, officials chose to abandon it in favor of a nearby station, the Brooklyn Bridge Station. Apart from being easier to renovate, the Brooklyn Bridge Station was used by more passengers each day than City Hall Station. In its final year, City Hall Station was used by only six hundred passengers a day, a very small number for New York City. Thus, City Hall became a ghost’ station on the New York subway line, a modem underground ruin. Today, one subway line, the Number train, still passes through City Hall Station on its way north, but it does not stop. In 1998, the New York Transit Museum reopened City Hall Station for tourists. (30)Due to the historic significance and beauty of this station, the New York Transit Museum schedules special tours of the station several times each year.SummaryListen to the passage. For questions 26 ~ 30, complete the notes using no more than three words for each blank. City Hall Station in New York, which is no longer in use, is one of the city’ s 【D6】______subway stations. The station, which is now a historic landmark, used to be designed as the most impressive station of the city’ s 【D7】______. However, when the subway lines were 【D8】______, officials voted in favour of closing City Hall and fixing the nearby 【D9】______which was used by far more passengers.

This is simply not a large eno ugh group to reduce the social stigma（污名）and force other adjustments necessary to supporting men in this decision even if only work more than their family ．Even shorter times away from work for working fathers are already difficult ．A study found that 85％of new fathers take some time off after the birth of a child—but for all but afew．it 's a week or two at moMsteanwhile，the average for women who take leave is more than lo weeksSuch choices impact who moves up in the organization．While you'reaway，someone else is doing your work ，making your sales，taking care of your customers．That can 't help you at workIt can only hurt you．Women，of course，face the same issues of returning after a long absence But with many more women than men choosing to leave the workforce entirely to raise familie，sreturning from an extended parental leave doesn 't raise as many eyebrows as it does for menWomen would make more if they didn ' btreak their earning trajectory（轨迹）by leaving the workforce，or if higher-paying professions were more family friendly．In the foreseeable future，Stay at home fathers may make all the difference for individual families. but their presence won reduce'thte numbers of high potential women who are forced to choose betweenfamily and career1.What gives women a ray of hope to achieve work-life balance?A.More men taking an extended parental leaveB.People ' s changing attitudes towards familyC.More women entering business managementD.The improvement of their socioeconomic status．2.Why does the author say the hope for more fu—ll time fathers is misguided?A.Women are better at taking care of children．B.Many men value work more than their family．C.Their number is too small to make a difference．D.Not many men have the chance to stay at hom．e3.Why do few men take a long parental leave?A.A long leave will have a negative impact on their caree．rB.They just have too many responsibilities to fulfill at work ．C.The economic loss will be too much for their family to bear．D.They are likely to get fired if absent from work for too lon9 ．4.What is the most likely reaction to men returning from an extended parental leave?A.Jealousy.B.

It has shrunk from 1.19 billion in 2011 to 1.12 bi i ion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to .1.11 billio n in 2016.In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from 43 in 2014 to 41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper-including facial tissue and kitchen roll-to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumerspreferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume," said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. "These extra features are deemed unnecessaryby the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer."While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy-in theory at least-when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons' toilet paper wish list is softness ( 57%) followed by strength (45% )and thickness (36%).One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers thanproduct quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81 of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.1.The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because?A ) Britons have cut their spending on it.B ) its prices have gone up over the years.C) its quality has seen marked improvement.D) Britons have developed the habit of saving2.what does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?A ) It will expand in time.B ) It will remain gloomy.C ) It will experience ups and downs.D ) It will recover as population grows.3.What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?A ) Special offers would promote its sales.B ) Consumers are loyal to certain brands.C) Luxurious features add much to the price.D) Consumers have a variety to choose from.4.What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?A)They are particular about the quality of toilet paper. B ) They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most. C ) They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper. D) They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.5.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A)More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment. B ) Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales. C) Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality. D) Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.试题 3Passage One (10%)Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Urbanization—migration away from the suburbs to the city center—will be thebiggest real estate trend in 2015, according to a new report.The report says America 's urbanization will continue to be the most significantissue affecting the industry, as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development making cities like New York and San Francisco so successful.As smaller cities copy the model of these “ 2-4hour cities, m”ore affordable versions of these places will be created. The report refers to this as the coming of the “ 1-8hourcity, ” and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston, Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville, which are “ positioningthemselves as highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities. ”Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America 's largestpopulationgroup, Millennials (千禧一代) , will continue to put off buying a house. Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials, haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.This trend will continue into the 2020s, the report projects. After that, survey respondents disagree over whether this generation will follow in their parents ' footsteps, moving to the suburbs to raise families, or will choose to remain in the city center.Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America 'sfailininfrastructure. Most roads, bridges, transit, water systems, the electric grid, and communications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago, and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.The report 's writers state that America 've s tfainiluinrferatostirnucture impactsnot only the health of the real-estate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.Apart from the specific trends highlighted above, which cause some investors to worry, the report portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate “ u-pcycle ”and improving economy. Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a “good to excellent ” expect-aetsiotanteofp r eoafiltability in 2015.While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns, resulting in a real-estate“ bubble, ” the report 's writers downplay that potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred.1.According to the new report, real estate development in 2015 will witness .A)an accelerating speed B) a shift to city centersC) a new focus on small cities D) an ever-increasing demand2.What characterizes -ho“ur 2c4ities ” like New York?A)People can live without private cars.B)People are generally more competitive.C)People can enjoy services around the clock.D)People are in harmony with the environment.3.Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house?A)They can only afford small apartments.B)The house prices are currently too high.C)Their parents ' bad experience still haunts them.D)They feel attached to the suburban environment.4.What might hinder real estate development in the U.S.?A)The continuing economic recession in the country.B)The lack of confidence on the part of investors.C)The fierce global competition.D)The worsening infrastructure.5.How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U.S. real-estate market in 2015?A)Pessimistic B) Hopeful C) Cautious D) Uncertain试题 4Passage One (10%) Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.As a person who writes about food and drink for a living, I couldn ' t tell youthfirst thing about Bill Perry or whether the beers he sells are that great. But I can tell you that I like this guy. That ' s because he plans to ban tipping in favor of paying his servers an actual living wage.I hate tipping.I hate it because it 'asn obligation disguised as an option．I hate it for the post-dinner math it requires of me. But mostly, I hate tipping because I believe l would be in a better place if pay decisions regarding employees were simply left up to their employers, as is the custom in virtually every other industry.Most of you probably think that you hate tipping, too. Research suggests otherwise. You actually love tipping! You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes. No matter how the math works out, you persistently view restaurants with voluntary tipping systems as being a better value, which makes it extremely difficult for restaurants and bars to do away with the tipping system.One argument that you tend to hear a lot from the pro-tipping crowd seems logical enough: the service is better when waiters depend on tips, presumably because they see a benefit to successfully veiling their contempt for you. Well, if this were true, we would all be slipping a few l00-dollar bills to our doctors on-the way out their doors, too. But as it turns out, waiters see only a tiny bump in tips when they do an exceptional job compared to a passable one. Waiters, keen observers of humanity that they are, are catching on to this; in one poll, a full 30% said they didn ' t believthey did had any impact on the tips they received.So come on, folks: get on board with ditching the outdated tip system. Pay a little more upfront for your beer or burger. Support Bill Perry ，and any other'basrpubor restaurant that doesn ' t ask you to do drunken math.1.What can we learn about Bill Perry from the passage?A.He runs a pub that serves excellent bee．rB.He intends to get rid of the tipping practice．C.He gives his staff a considerable sum for tip．sD.He lives comfortably without getting any tips．2.What is the main reason why the author hates tipping?A.It sets a bad example for other industrie．sB.It adds to the burden of ordinary customer．sC.It forces the customer to compensate the waite．rD.It poses a great challenge for customers to do ma．th3.Why do many people love tipping according to the author?A.They help improve the quality of the restaurants they dine in．B.They believe waiters deserve such rewards for good servic．eC.They want to preserve a wonderful tradition of the industry．D.They can have some say in how much their servers ea．rn4.What have some waiters come to realize according to a survey?A.Service quality has little effect on tip size．B.It is in human nature to try to save on tips．C.Tips make it more difficult to please customers．D.Tips benefit the boss rather than the employee．s5.What does the author argue for in the passage?A. Restaurants should calculate the tips for custome．rsB.Customers should pay more tips to help improve servic．eC.Waiters deserve better than just relying on tips for a living．D.Waiters should be paid by employers instead of custome．rs试题 5Passage one(10%)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it ne'ce s sary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn ' t want it toput the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “ You would w that robot preloaded with a good set ofvalues, ” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn ' t think that ' s the kind of tha properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they ' ve produced a system that will break somekind of taboo (禁忌).One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opport un ity to stop, send out beeps 嘟嘟声),and ask for directi ons from a huma n. If we humans aren 't quite sure about a dec，isiwone go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.1.What does the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer programmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.2.What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author?A)They are aggressive.B)They are outgoing.C)They are ignorant.D)They are ill-bred.3.How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B)By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C)By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.4.What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A)keep a distance from possible dangers.B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.D)Do sufficient testing before taking action.5.What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Determine what is moral and ethical.B)Design some large-scale experiments.C)Set rules for man-machine interaction.D)Develop a more sophisticated program.试题 6Passage One(10%)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age, but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.The study, which followed more than 2,000 healthy adults between the ages of18 and 60, found that certain mental functions—including measures of abstract reasoning, mental speed and puzzle-solvin—g started to dull as early as age 27.Dips in memory, meanwhile, generally became apparent around age 37.On the other hand, indicators of a person 'saccumulated knowledge—like performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledg—e kept improving with age, according to findings published in the journalNeurobiology of Aging.The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories. Most people 'msinds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse.“These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively earlyin adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one 's abilities, may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no diseases, ”Salthouse said in a news release.The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years.The tests are desig ned to detect subtle 细微的)cha nges in men tai fun cti on, andinvolve solving puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns incollections of letters and symbols.In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力) generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s.The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia (痴呆), according to the researchers.“By following individuals over time, ”Salthouse said, “wegain insight in cognition changes, and may possibly discovewr ays to slow the rate of decline. ”The researchers are currently analyzing the study participants h'ealth and lifestyle to see which factors might influence age-related cognitive changes.1.What is the common view of mental function?A)It varies from person to person. B)It weakensin one 's later years.C)It gradually expands with age. D)It indicates one 's health condition.2.What does the new study find about mental functions?A)Some diseases inevitably lead to their decline.B)They reach a peak at the age of 20 for most people.C)They are closely related to physical and mental exercise.D)Some of them begin to decline when people are still young.3.What does Timothy Salthouse say about people 's minds in most cases?A)They tend to decline in people 's later years.B)Their flexibility determines one 's abilities.C)They function quite well even in old age.D)Their functioning is still a puzzle to be solved.4.Although people ' s minds may function less flexibly as they age, they __ .A)may be better at solving puzzlesB)can memorize things with more easeC)may have greater facility in abstract reasoningD)can put what they have learnt into more effective use5.According to Salthouse, their study may help us _ .A)find ways to slow down our mental declineB)find ways to boost our memoriesC)understand the complex process of mental functioningD)understand the relation between physical and mental health试题7Passage OneQuestions 1 and 5 are based on the following passage.Nobody really knows how big Lagos is. What's indisputable is that it's growing very quickly. Between now and 2050, the urban population of Africa could triple. Yet cities in sub-SaharanAfrica are not getting richer the way cities in the rest of the world have. Most urban Africans live in slums (贫民窟); migrants are often not much better off than they were in the countryside. Why?The immediate problem is poverty. Most of Africa is urbanising at a lower level of incomethan other regions of the world did. That means there's little money around for investment that would make cities liveable and more productive. Without upgrades and new capacity, bridges, roads and power systems are unable to cope with expanding populations. With the exception of South Africa, the only light rail metro system in sub-Saharan Africa is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Traffic jam leads to expense and unpredictability, things that keep investors away.In other parts of the world, increasing agricultural productivity and industrialisation went together. More productive farmers meant there was a surplus that could feed cities; in turn, that created a pool of labour for factories. But African cities are different. They are too often built around consuming natural resources. Government is concentrated in capitals, so is the money. Most urban Africans work for a small minority of the rich, who tend to be involvedin either cronyish (有裙带关系的) businesses or politics. Since African agriculture is still broadly unproductive, food is imported, consuming a portion of revenue.So what can be done? Though African countries are poor, not all African cities are. In Lagos, foreign oil workers can pay as much as $65,000 per year in rent for a modest apartment in asafe part of town.

But do Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable? The most recent National Journal poll asked respondents about the American dream, what it takes to achievetheir goals, and whether or not they felt a significant amount of control over their ability to be successful. Overwhelmingly, the results show that today，the idea of the American dream—and what it takes to achieve i—t looks quite different than it did in the late 20th century.By and large, people felt that their actions and hard work —not outside forces—were the deciding factor in how their lives turned out. But respondents had decidedly mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy.In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they see going to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority —52 percent—think that young people do not need a four-year college education in order to be successful.Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a master's degree and works in public health, was the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability his parents and grandparents never did.While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of the degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new perspectives and life experiences. Sixty-year-old Will Fendley, who had a successful career in the military and never earned a college degree, thinks "personal drive" is far more important than just going to college. To Fendley, a sense of drive and purpose, as well as an effective high-school education, and basic life skills,like balancing a checkbook, are the necessary ingredients for a successful life in America.1.It used to be commonly acknowledged that to succeed in America, one had to have .A) an advanced academic degreeB)an ambition to get aheadC) a firm belief in their dreamD) a sense of drive and purpose2.What is the finding of the latest National Journal poll concerning the American dream?A) More and more Americans are finding it hard to realize.B)It remains alive among the majority of American people.C)Americans' idea of it has changed over the past few decades.D)An increasing number of young Americans are abandoning it.3.What do Americans now think of the role of college education in achieving success?A) It still remains open to debate.B)It has proved to be beyond doubt.C)It is no longer as important as it used to be.D)It is much better understood now than ever.4.How do some people view college education these days?A) It promotes gender equality.B)It needs to be strengthened.C)It adds to cultural diversity.D)It helps broaden their minds.5.What is one factor essential to success in America, according to Will Fendley?A) A desire to lear n and to adapt.B) A strong sense of resp on sibility.C) A willi ngn ess to commit on eself.D) A clear aim and high motivation.18级音体美阅读理解Section C Passage One答案试题1Passage One (10%)1-5: A C A B D试题2Passage On e(10%)1-5: A B C A D试题3 (10%)Passage One: 1~5 : BACDB试题4.Passage On e(10%): 1~5 : BCDAD试题5Passage one (10%)1.

A dog can be a happy addition to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, it can cause a lot of trouble.Families should sit down and thoroughly discuss the problems involved before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parents are ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don’t know much about dogs, it’s a good idea to go to the library or the ASPCA (美国动物保护协会)for books about various kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a puppy. In reading about the different kinds, you should know that a dog described as very alert may be too jumpy and bouncy. When a book describes a dog as an ideal hunting dog, it probably means that the dog won’t be happy living in a small apartment. Dogs of different kinds vary in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd. This is because it provides protection as well as companionship. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to handle. If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice. These dogs are very small and easy to train. They don’t need to be walked daily, since they can exercise in the space available in the home.1. The main topic of the passage is ________.A) the care and proper selection of dogs for family petsB) different breeds of dogsC) responsibility for seeing that dogs are properly cared forD) different kinds of books about dogs2. According to the passage, who is really responsible for the dog’s welfare?A) Children. B) Parents. C) Family D) ASPCA3. The writer suggests one can get information about the different kinds of dogs _________.A) from the ASPCA B) from the libraryC) by buying a dog from a pet store D) by reading books about dogs4. According to the passage, why is the German shepherd a popular dog?A) Because they are big and aggressive.B) Because they provide companionship as well as protection.C) Because most people are afraid of them.D) Because they are easy to train.5. The toy dog is a good choice when ________.A) you have small children B) your living space is not largeC) you are afraid of large dogs D) you live in the city（二）CACBCSarah Winchester was a very rich woman.

A computer can solve millions of problems in a few seconds. A person might need years to solve the same number of problems. Computers are used in nearly every kind of work. Police use them to check on stolen cars. Companies use them to keep track of supplies. Planes and trains are guided by computers. So are telephone calls and traffic lights.

They come to watch the ―Indy 500.‖ This 500-mile race is the most famous of all auto races.The motor race track is on the spot where an old farm once stood. A man named Carl Fisher bought the land in 1909. The car was a new invention at that time. Hardly anyone took the idea of car racing seriously. Yet Fisher pushed ahead with his plan to build a track.In two years the track was finished. It took 450 workers, 300 mules, and seven giant steamrollers to do the job. First, the ground was made perfectly flat. Then gravel was spread over the two-and-a-half-mile track. The top layer was made of crushed stone and tar. Grandstands to hold 15,000 people were build.The first races at the track were a disaster. The road broke under the speeding autos. Dust and rocks flew into drivers faces. There were several accidents. Some drivers and even some fans were killed.Auto racing might have ended after that. But Carl Fisher promised to make the track safer. This was done by paving it with 3,000 bricks. Safer grandstands were also built. Now they hold 300,000 fans who attend the race each year.1. What kind land was the auto track built on?A) Farmland. B) Park land. C) City land. D) Swamp land.2. In 1909, most people hadn’t seen any ________.A) roads B) mules C) car races D) farmers3.

Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too. Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resen ted the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps.By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners. Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.1. Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?A. Because they could find good jobs there.B. Because they had found gold there.C. Because they could open laundries and restaurants there.D. Because they heard there was gold there.2. The underlined word “resented” mean “________”.A. likedB. helpedC. hatedD. served3. Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some Chinese became drivers.B. Many Chinese opened shops to help wash clothes.C. Many Chinese picked gold around the old mines.D. Many Chinese returned to China by the end of the 1850s.4. Which should be the title of the passage?A. Early Chinese immigrants in AmericaB. Dream to strike it richC. The difference between men and womenD. Gold miners in AmericaBWomen are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985, Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting the University of Texas System adminitration for not encouraging women.The University was rated among the lowest for the system.In a 1987 update, Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement.One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs.College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon, said it is important that woman be flexible when it comes to relocating if they want to rise in the ranks.Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus , many times in order for her to succeed, she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work.Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia,inequities will exist."Women need to spend their energies and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University." Spirduso said. "If they do that will be successful in this system.If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time."5.According to Spirduso,women need to ____.a.produce a report on sexual discriminationb.call for further improvement in their working conditionsc.spend their energies and time fighting against sexual discriminationd.spend more time and energy doing scholarly activities6.From this passage ,we know that _____.a.there are many women full professors in the University of Texasb.women play an important part in adminitrating the Universityc.the weather on the campus is chillyd.women make up a small percentage of the senior positions in the University7.Which of the following statements is true?a.the number of women professors in the University in 1987 was greater than that of 1985b.the number of women professors in the University in 1987 was smaller than that of 1985c.the number of women professors was the same as that of 1985d.more and more women professors thought that sexual discrimination did exit in the University8.One of the positive results from Milburn's study was that _____.a.women were told to con centrate on their workb.women were given information about available administrative jobsc.women were encouraged to take on all the administrative jobs in the Unversityd.women were encouraged to do more scholarly activities9. The title for this passage should be _______.a.The University of Texasburn's Reportc.Women Professorsd.Sexual Discrimination in AcademiaCToday, as in every other day of the year ,more than 3000 U.S. Adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deathsattributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death.Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive ,several important issues must be raised.First, in the past several years,smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent .Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context,the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth.10.According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____.a.traffic accidentsb.smoking-related deseasec.murderd.all of these11.Every day there are over_____high school strdents who will become regular smoker.a.75b.23c.30d.300012.By "dropout" the author means______.a.students who failed the examinationb.students who left schoolc.students who lost their wayd.students who were driven out of school13.The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that ________.a.NCI has taken effective measuresb.smoking is prevented among high school seniorsc.there are many smokers who have died of cancerd.none of these14.What is implied but not stated by the author is that ________.a.smoking rates among youth have declined very littleb.there are now more female than male smokers among high school seniorsc.high smoking rates are due to the incease in wealthd.smoking at high school are from low socio-economic backgroundsDThe food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat ,it has, at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well,especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is nto a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats,and other food additivies,caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this ,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes,but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.15.What is the best possible title of the passage?a.Drug and Foodb.Cancer and Healthc.Food and Healthd.Health and Drug16.Which of the following statements is NOT ture?a.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasonsb.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animalsc.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for overthirty-five years.d.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world.17.How has science done something harmful to mankind?a.Because of science , diseases caused by polluted food haven been virtually eliminated.b.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.c.Because of the application of science,some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.d.The scientists have preserved the color of meats,but not of vegetables.大学英语3C卷试题答案及评分标准（供参考）Ⅰ、词语用法和语法结构，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
