The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age."We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process. "What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's."This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.41. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ____.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect42. The text mainly talks about ______.A. men's heart cellsB. women's ageing processC. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life43. If you want to live longer, you should ______.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthD. prevent your cells from being lost44. We can know from the passage that ______.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20BMy grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.45. I knew my grandfather was kind and gentle, because _________A．he was a teacher.B．he let me sit on his knee and told me stories.C．he told me stories about how kind he wasD．he was the headmaster of a school46. When he looked at a boy in a certain way, the boy ________A．went red and could not retu rn my grandfather’s lookB．looked back at my grandfather’s red faceC. looked at his shoes to see if they were dirty.D. went red in the face because his shoes were dirty.47．When he received poor work, my grandfather _______.A．would become very angry.B．threw the work on the floor, and shouted across the roomC．threw the book at the boy.D．went red in the face48．He was a different man at home because that ________.A．he didn’t get angry at school like he did at home.B．he was not as gentle at homeC．he didn’t throw books about at school like he did at homeD．he did not get angry at home.CHave you ever heard anyone say “It’s raining cats and dogs”? It means “It’s raining hard!”But sometimes cats and dogs do drop from the sky! Here’s how it happens.Not so long ago, a country far away had many large rats. The people there said, “ We need cats!” So cats were sent to them by airplane. But the country had many mountains. It was hard for an airplane to land. So the cats came down by parachute(降落伞). Did the cats like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are still catching rats!In another country far away, there is snow the year around. People sometimes got lost in it.“We need big dogs!” the people said, “The dogs could fin d people lost in the snow. The dogs could help bring them home. Where can we get big dogs?”A man across the sea had big dogs to sell. “I will send dogs to you,” he said. “ I have some very big ones. They can find people lost in the snow.”He sent the dogs by airplane.But the airplane did not land in the snow. The dogs came down by parachute ---- you guessed it !Did the dogs like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are well and happy. They find anyone who gets lost in the snow. Then they help him get home. Good dogs!Remember it, so you can say, “ Yes, it does rain cats and dogs sometimes. They came down by parachute!”49.The underlined word “ it” In Paragraph 2 refers to __________.A．the weatherB．the saying “It’s raining cats and dogs.”C．the saying “It’s raining hard.”D．the fact that real cats and dogs drop from the sky.50.

In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable . Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions.A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.52. The main idea of the passage is _____________.A. even Americans are surprised at the differences among themselvesB. there are many differences in character in different parts of the USA.C. there are many reasons for the differencesD. stereotypes about people are not necessarily true53.

Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing. you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(倾斜) his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises. then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.To bring a child to life. keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen, If, in spite of your efforts, he stars turning a blue-grey colour, you can feel no pulse, then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.56.

Don't stop pressing his chest, if the drowning man starts breathing again.D. When pressing, you can do it as hard as you can.FDefenders of special protective labor law for women often say that getting rid of such laws would destroy the fruits of a century-long struggle for the protection of women workers. Even a brief examination of the historic practice of courts and employers would show that the fruits of such laws have been bitter: they are, in practice, more of a misfortune than a blessing.Sex-defined(性别限制的) protective laws have often been based on common beliefs concerning women’s needs and abilities and employers have frequently used them as legal excuses for looking down upon women. After the Second World War, for example, businesses and governments tried to persuade women to give up jobs in factories, thus making room in the labor force for returning soldiers. The passage of state laws limiting the daily or weekly work hours of women conveniently completed this. Employers had only to declare that overtime hours were a necessary condition of employment in their factory, and women could be quiet legally fired, refused jobs, or kept at low wage(工资) levels, all in the name of “protecting” their health. By proving such laws when they are questioned by lawsuits（诉讼）, the courts have cheated people over the years in setting up different, less advantageous employment terms for women than for men, thus reducing women’s competitiveness on the job market. At the same time even the most good-hearted lawmakers, courts, and employers have often been blind to the real needs of women. The lawmakers and courts continue to permit employers to offer employees health insurance（保险）plans that cover all known human medical disabilities except those related to childbirth.Finally, labor laws protecting only special groups are often ineffective at protecting the workers who are actually in the workplace. Some chemicals, for example, have reproductive（生殖的）risks for women of childbearing years; factory owners using the chemicals keep laws protecting women against these dangers by refusing to hire them. Thus the sex-defined law protects the supposed female workers, but has no effect whatever on the safety of any actual employees. The health risks to male employees in such industries can’t be too slight. Protective laws aimed at producing materials or techniques in order to reduce such dangers would benefit all employees without discriminating against any.On the whole, protective labor laws for women are unfair and do not meet their intended purpose. Lawmakers should recognize that women are in the work force to stay and that their needs—good health care, an acceptable wage, and a safe workplace—are the needs of all workers. Laws that take no notice of these facts act against women’s rights for equal protection in employment.61. According to the writer, which of the following resulted from the passage of the state lawslimiting the work hours of women workers?A.Women workers had to leave their jobs in factories.B.Many employers had difficulty in providing jobs for returning soldiers.C.Many employers found it hard to attract women workers.D.The health of most women factory workers improved.62. The writer places the word “protecting”(in paragraph 2) in quotation marks most likely inorder to suggest that_______.A.she is using the actual wording of the laws in question（正被谈到的）.B.the protective nature of the laws in question should not be doubted about.C.protecting the health of workers is important for those who support protective labor laws.D.the laws in question were really used to do harm to women workers, though said to beprotective in public.63. According to the passage, which of the following is a shortcoming of protective labor laws thatsingle out（选出）a particular group of workers for protection?A.Such laws are often too weak to be effective at protecting the group in question.B.Such laws are usually made by those who do not have the best interest of workers atheart.C.Such laws have no pressure on employers to get rid of dangers in the workplace.D.Keeping such laws is often expensive for employers and makes the other workers angry.64. According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following does the writerconsider to be most helpful in determining the value of special protective labor law for women?A. A study of patterns of work-related illnesses in the states that had such laws and in thestates that did not.B. A review of the fact that how many women workers are in favor of such laws.C. A study of the cost to employers keeping such laws.D.An examination of the actual effects that such laws have had in the past on womenworkers.65. The main point of the passage is that special protective labor laws for women workers are_____.A.unnecessary because most workers are well protected by existing labor laws.B.harmful to the economic interests of women workers while offering them little or noactual protection.C.not worth keeping even though they do stand for a hard-won result of the labormovement.D.unfair because male workers receive less protection than they require.第二卷（非选择题共50分）第五部分：写作（共三节，满分50分）第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分)A few months after returning the U.

Unit 5 Traveling abroad 单元综合测试Ⅰ. 阅读理解（共两节, 满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项AThe desire for a better life is sometimes so big that it makes people leave their countries and their families and work in other countries. They know that they will have to face difficult moments，that they won’t be able to communicate with the persons around them，and that maybe they will have to work in illegal conditions to get the money they need for their families，but they all take these chances and they hope they will succeed.On the other hand，there are people who immigrate(移民)just for the sake of the people they love. They leave their families to make other families with the people they love. Women go to meet their men who have chosen other countries to start a new life，even if they miss their families and friends. Maybe they don’t have a place to work but they are able to wait to see what destiny(命运) has for them.There are also the cases of the people who are forced to leave their countries because of a war which threatens their lives. They’d rather start from the very beginning again than risk putting their lives in danger.When well developed countries see that their homeland is being “invaded” by lots of immig rants，they set new laws that make immigration harder. As a result of this，many illegal immigrants cross the borders and are eager to work，although they are paid only half the amount of money native workers receive for the same kind of job.The opinions of the local people are varied and they range from total refusal to complete acceptance. Immigrants in countries which have large communities of them are fighting for the recognition of their social rights and for equal treatment.Many immigrants have managed to be fully accepted by the communities where they live and have managed to change the opinions of the local people about them.1. Which of the following reasons for immigration is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Escaping from a war.B. Being reunited with the beloved people.C. Seeking a better life.D. Studying a foreign language.2. What’s the usual response to immigrants in well developed countries?A. To accept them.B. To put limitations on immigration.C. To refuse them.D. To encourage them.3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Some immigrants are still fighting for their rights now.B. Native people usually earn more money than illegal immigrants.C. Immigrants are never accepted no matter how hard they try.D. The local people have different attitudes toward immigrants.4. The passage implies that ________.A. culture shock causes great anxiety in some immigrantsB. illegal immigrants cause great damage to developed countriesC. stricter laws should be set to prevent immigrationD. many people go to other countries with great determinationBBERKELEY，Calif.—5 grand,15 grand,50 grand—you get what you pay for in a car.But a sweet ride doesn’t guarantee_ a safe ride.“The primary problem is the driver，”says Jim Misener，a transportation safety researcher at University of California.What if cars could pick up signals that could save your life，know when to stop，know when there’s been an accident，an d even know when it’s safe to turn？Sounds far out，but the new cars are closer than you may think.Making the driver more alert(警惕的) is what researchers at UC Berkeley are doing by using the latestWiFi technology.“Cars talking to one another，the environment or the roadside talking and listening to cars，”says Misener.The new cars are combining with smart roads.Transmitters(传导物) along the road beam up wireless signals to a receiver on the car.An alert flashes inside the car.Basically it measures the interaction(交互作用) between all road users at that particular crossroads.As a car approaches，the screen on a smart car’s dashboard flashes a red arrow when it’s not safe to turn.A warning arrow also appears on a sign alongside the road.This same system is used to warn a driver when it’s not safe to enter a crossroads.Car companies are working to apply systems like this in their new cars.They also hope to be able to use these systems to notify drivers of contract or recall needs.“All we’re doing is informing or al erting or warning the driver.The driver is still responsible，”says Misener.But now，thanks to the research，drivers will have more help to get them where they’re going safely.5. Which of the following takes responsibility for a safe ride according to this text?A. The car.B. The crossroads.C. The driver.D. The walkers.6. From the third paragraph，we know that the new car is.A. largeB. smartC. comfortableD. expensive7. What does the underline d “guarantee” in the first paragraph mean?A. Prevent.B. Allow.C. Promise.D. Ensure.8. On the whole，we can say the passage above is .A. science fictionB. road introductionC. a piece of newsD. a short interviewCO. Henry, born in Greensboro, North Carolina, was the pen name of William Sydney Porter. His father, Algernon Sidney Porter, was a physician. When William was three years old, his mother died, and he was raised by his grandmother and aunt. William was a good reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school, and worked in a drug store and later on a Texas farm. After that, he moved to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.In 1884 he started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. When the weekly failed, he joined The Houston Post as a reporter and columnist(专栏作家). In 1897 he was put into prison over some financial(财务的)dealings. While in prison, William started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret. His first work，Whistling Dick’s Christmas Stocking(1899), appeared in McClure’s Magazine. After serving three years of the five years’ sentence, he changed his name to O. Henry, hoping to forget his bitter past.O. Henry moved to New York City in 1902 and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the Ne w York World, and also published the stories in other magazines. His first collection, Cabbages and Kings, appeared in 1904.Many other works quickly followed, such as The Gift of the Magi and The Furnished Room. O. Henry’s best known work is The Ransom of Red Chief. His stories always have surprising endings. He published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.O. Henry’s last years were shadowed by drinking, ill health, and financial problems. In 1907, he experienced a failed marriage. In 1910, O. Henry died after an illness.9. What’s the passage mainly about?A. A brief introduction to O. Henry.B. O. Henry’s career and marriage.C. How O.Henry became a wellknown writer.D. O. Henry’s best known works.10. It can be inferred from the passage that O. Henry .A. didn’t like to study during his childhoodB. had little parental love as a childC. was very interested in medicine and farmingD. took up only one job after he moved to Houston11. Which is the right time order for the following events in O. Henry’s life?①He moved to New York City. ②He joined The Houston Post.③Whistling Dick’s Christmas Stocking came out. ④The Furnished Room came out.⑤Cabbages and Kings appeared.A. ①②③④⑤B. ②①③⑤④C. ③②①④⑤D. ②③①⑤④12. Which of the following works of O. Henry’s is the most popular according to the passage?A. Cabbages and Kings.B. The Gift of the Magi.C. The Furnished Room.D. The Ransom of Red Chief.DBreak dancing(霹雳舞)，the athletic highenergy street dance，is a unique US phenomenon(现象)and the best break dancers or Bboys and Bgirls are American，right？Wrong.Young South Koreans have taken to break dancing with the same sort of passion that their parents devoted to building Asia’s third largest economy and now regularly win B boy dance competitions，beating the US and European competitors at their own game.Break dancing sprang from the streets of urban America in the late 1970s buildings over the years into an international youth movement with a number of parts including dance，rapping，and music sets played by DJs.South Korea’s club scene fed the frenzy as dancers tried to outdo each other. What had once been a subculture in South Korea quickly became the main stream with Bboys and Bgirls appearing on best time TV shows and advertisements.The dance part of the culture has had such an effect on South Korea because it appeals to a long-standing and widely acknowledged element of the national identity(特征)－the love of a party.Korean people love singing and dancing. They have a long culture of dancing. Koreans are born with a dancing rhythm. It makes the Bboy culture very attractive to them.The drive to put everything into winning is a key part of Korean life and partly explains why a country with few natural resources other than its people rose from a ruinous war some 50 years ago into a major economic power.The biggest thing is the amount of practice the Bboys here put in. When Korean people love something they focus on it. American Bboys do it because they love it and enjoy it but Korean Bboys keep practicing and practicing.It’s an American idea that’s been absorbed into Korea but it has turned around and been presented to the world as a representation of modern Korea.13. What made South Korea become a rich country?A. The strong devotion to American culture.B. The strong love for various parties.C. The strong passion for break dancing.D. The strong desire to win over others.14. Why have young South Koreans taken to break dancing?A. Because break dancing has had an effect on South Korea.B. Because they like American culture.C. Because they are born dancers.D. Because they want their country to be a major economic power.15.

The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age."We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process. "What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's."This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink.They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.41. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ____.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect42. The text mainly talks about ______.A. men's heart cellsB. women's ageing processC. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life43. If you want to live longer, you should ______.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthD. prevent your cells from being lost44. We can know from the passage that ______.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20BMy grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.45. I knew my grandfather was kind and gentle, because _________A．he was a teacher.B．he let me sit on his knee and told me stories.C．he told me stories about how kind he wasD．he was the headmaster of a school46. When he looked at a boy in a certain way, the boy ________A．went red and could not return my grandfather’s lookB．looked back at my grandfather’s red faceC. looked at his shoes to see if they were dirty.D. went red in the face because his shoes were dirty.47．When he received poor work, my grandfather _______.A．would become very angry.B．threw the work on the floor, and shouted across the roomC．threw the book at the boy.D．went red in the face48．He was a different man at home because that ________.A．he didn’t get angry at school like he did at home.B．he was not as gentle at homeC．he didn’t throw books about at school like he did at homeD．he did not get angry at home.CHave you ever heard anyone say “It’s raining cats and dogs”? It means “It’s raining hard!”But sometimes cats and dogs do drop from the sky! Here’s how it happens.Not so long ago, a country far away had many large rats. The people there said, “ We need cats!” So cats were sent to them by airplane. But the country had many mountains. It was hard for an airplane to land. So the cats came down by parachute(降落伞). Did the cats like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are still catching rats!In another country far away, there is snow the year around. People sometimes got lost in it.“We need big dogs!” the people said, “The dogs could find people lost in the snow. The dogs could help bring them home. Where can we get big dogs?”A man across the sea had big dogs to sell. “I will send dogs to you,” he said. “ I have some very big ones. They can find people lost in the snow.”He sent the dogs by airplane.But the airplane did not land in the snow. The dogs came down by parachute ---- you guessed it !Did the dogs like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are well and happy. They find anyone who gets lost in the snow. Then they help him get home. Good dogs!Remember it, so you can say, “ Yes, it does rain cats and dogs sometimes. They came down by parachute!”49.The underlined word “ it” In Paragraph 2 refers to __________.A．the weatherB．the saying “It’s raining cats and dogs.”C．the saying “It’s raining hard.”D．the fact that real cats and dogs drop from the sky.50.

In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable . Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions.A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.52. The main idea of the passage is _____________.A. even Americans are surprised at the differences among themselvesB. there are many differences in character in different parts of the USA.C. there are many reasons for the differencesD. stereotypes about people are not necessarily true53.

Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing. you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(倾斜) his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises. then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.To bring a child to life. keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen, If, in spite of your efforts, he stars turning a blue-grey colour, you can feel no pulse, then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.56.

When pressing, you can do it as hard as you can.FDefenders of special protective labor law for women often say that getting rid of such laws would destroy the fruits of a century-long struggle for the protection of women workers. Even a brief examination of the historic practice of courts and employers would show that the fruits of such laws have been bitter: they are, in practice, more of a misfortune than a blessing.Sex-defined(性别限制的) protective laws have often been based on common beliefs concerning women’s needs and abilities and employers have frequently used them as legal excuses for looking down upon women. After the Second World War, for example, businesses and governments tried to persuade women to give up jobs in factories, thus making room in the labor force for returning soldiers. The passage of state laws limiting the daily or weekly work hours of women conveniently completed this. Employers had only to declare that overtime hours were a necessary condition of employment in their factory, and women could be quiet legally fired, refused jobs, or kept at low wage(工资) levels, all in the name of “protecting” their health. By proving such laws when they are questioned by lawsuits（诉讼）, the courts have cheated people over the years in setting up different, less advantageous employment terms for women than for men, thus reducing women’s competitiveness on the job market. At the same time even the most good-hearted lawmakers, courts, and employers have often been blind to the real needs of women. The lawmakers and courts continue to permit employers to offer employees health insurance（保险）plans that cover all known human medical disabilities except those related to childbirth.Finally, labor laws protecting only special groups are often ineffective at protecting the workers who are actually in the workplace. Some chemicals, for example, have reproductive（生殖的）risks for women of childbearing years; factory owners using the chemicals keep laws protecting women against these dangers by refusing to hire them. Thus the sex-defined law protects the supposed female workers, but has no effect whatever on the safety of any actual employees. The health risks to male employees in such industries can’t be too slight. Protective laws aimed at producing materials or techniques in order to reduce such dangers would benefit all employees without discriminating against any.On the whole, protective labor laws for women are unfair and do not meet their intended purpose. Lawmakers should recognize that women are in the work force to stay and that their needs—good health care, an acceptable wage, and a safe workplace—are the needs of all workers. Laws that take no notice of these facts act against women’s rights for equal protection in employment.61. According to the writer, which of the following resulted from the passage of the state lawslimiting the work hours of women workers?A.Women workers had to leave their jobs in factories.B.Many employers had difficulty in providing jobs for returning soldiers.C.Many employers found it hard to attract women workers.D.The health of most women factory workers improved.62. The writer places the word “protecting”(in paragraph 2) in quotation marks most likely inorder to suggest that_______.A.she is using the actual wording of the laws in question（正被谈到的）.B.the protective nature of the laws in question should not be doubted about.C.protecting the health of workers is important for those who support protective labor laws.D.the laws in question were really used to do harm to women workers, though said to beprotective in public.63. According to the passage, which of the following is a shortcoming of protective labor laws thatsingle out（选出）a particular group of workers for protection?A.Such laws are often too weak to be effective at protecting the group in question.B.Such laws are usually made by those who do not have the best interest of workers atheart.C.Such laws have no pressure on employers to get rid of dangers in the workplace.D.Keeping such laws is often expensive for employers and makes the other workers angry.64. According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following does the writerconsider to be most helpful in determining the value of special protective labor law for women?A. A study of patterns of work-related illnesses in the states that had such laws and in thestates that did not.B. A review of the fact that how many women workers are in favor of such laws.C. A study of the cost to employers keeping such laws.D.An examination of the actual effects that such laws have had in the past on womenworkers.65. The main point of the passage is that special protective labor laws for women workers are_____.A.unnecessary because most workers are well protected by existing labor laws.B.harmful to the economic interests of women workers while offering them little or noactual protection.C.not worth keeping even though they do stand for a hard-won result of the labormovement.D.unfair because male workers receive less protection than they require.第二卷（非选择题共50分）第五部分：写作（共三节，满分50分）第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分)A few months after returning the U.
