一、高中英语阅读理解

阅读理解1． Japan has made a lot of noise in recent years about removing the traditional view

that women

should stay at home while men go out to work. So it was shocking when, on August 7th, Tokyo

Medical University (TMU), a distinguished medical school, admitted marking down the test scores

of female applicants to keep the ratio of women in each class below 30%. Their defence was that

women are more likely to drop out to marry and have children. To judge

female applicants to medical school purely on their academic performance would leave Japan

with a shortage of doctors, they said. The admission has caused outrage. Doctoring has long

been a male field. But it is not the only one. Discrimination is common in

banks and trading firms, where stamina (耐力) and loyalty, qualities somehow associated with

men, are prized, says Mari Miura, a political scientist at Sophia University. All this embarrasses a

government that has promised to make women shine. The policy seems based on the need for

more workers rather than on genuine concern for women. Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, says

he wants to bring millions more women into the

workforce to make up for a labour shortfall caused by its ageing and declining population. In the

field of politics, the record under Mr. Abe's premiership (首相任期) is disappointing. Just two

members of his 20-strong cabinet are women, including Seiko Noda, in charge of women's rights.

Ms. Noda, who makes little secret of her ambition to beat Mr. Abe in a leadership contest next

month, has just published a book called Grab the Future, her public declaration for pulling

Japan into line with global standards. She has almost no chance of winning. According to the passage,

what has aroused the public's shock and rage in Japan? 1）（A. Women being more likely

to drop out of school to marry and have children. B. TMU

judging female applicants to medical school merely on their test score.C. TMU putting a lower grade

on female applicants to keep a low percentage of women in each

class. D. Japan tending to abandon the traditional view that women should stay at home

while men go out to work. What do we know about Seiko Noda? 2）（A. She is quite

likely to win the leadership contest. B. She never fails to show her ambition in

public.C. She is the only female member in Abe's cabinet. D. Her newly released book

Grab the

Future is a bit hit. What does the passage mainly talk about? ）（3A. Doctoring has long

been a male field in Japan. B. Professions like banking and trading are

tailored to men.C. Shinzo Abe performed poorly in dealing with labour shortfall. D.

Discrimination against

women in careers in Japan is a big concern. C1（）【答案】 B）2（．

阅读理解2． Emoji might not be your first choice of communication in a disaster, but

researchers feel they

could make a difference during emergencies, where every second counts. Now, the Emoji-quake

campaign is lobbying for an earthquake emoji to be added to the Unicode set — the standard

group of icons available on digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake-

appropriate design to be submitted to Unicode. Approximately up to one third of the world's

population are exposed to earthquakes,

explains University of Southampton seismologist (地震学家) Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the

campaign. So we really want to be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those
