Throughout the colonial period there was a marked shortage of women, whichvaried with the regions and was always greatest in the frontier areas. This favorable ratio ③enhanced women's status and position and allowed them to pursue different careers.The Puritans, the religious sect that ④dominated the early british colonies in North America, regarded⑤idleness as a sin, and believed that life in an underdeveloped country made it absolutely necessary that each member of the community perform an ⑥economic function.Thus work for women, married or single, was not only approved, it was regarded as a civic duty. Puritan town councils expected idows and unattached women to be self supporting and for a long time provided needy spinsters with parcels of land. There was no social ⑦sanction against married women working; on the contrary, wives were expected to help their husbands in their trade and won social ⑧approval for doing extra work in or out of the home. Needy children, girls as well as boys, were indentured or apprenticed and were expected to work for their keep.The vast majority of women worked within their homes, where their labor produced most articles needed for the family. The entire colonial production of cloth and clothing and partially that of shoes was in the hands of women. In addition to these ⑨occupations, women were found in many ⑩different kinds of employment. They were butchers, silversmiths, gunsmiths and upholsterers. They ran mills, plantations, tanyards, shipyards, and every kind of shop, tavern, and boardinghouse. They were gatekeepers, jail keepers, sextons, journalists, printers, apothecaries, midwives, nurses, and teachers.In Roman times Britain had as many people as at its peak in the Middle Ages. For four centuries it was an integral part of a single political system that ①stretched from Turkey to Portugal and from the Red Sea to the Tyne and beyond. Its ②involvement with Rome started before the Conquest ③launched by Claudius in AD 43, and it continued to be a part of the Roman world for some time after the ④final break with Roman rule. We are dealing with a full half-millennium of the history of Britain.The origins of later Britain go back beyond the Roman period. Aspects of the society the Romans found in Britain were beginning to ⑤emerge in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages. At the time of the Roman Conquest, the culture of Britain had something like fifteen hundred to two thousand years of development behind it—although the prehistorians are greatly divided on the ⑥details. By the end of the Pre-Roman Iron Age, society had⑦evolved forms of organization closely similar to those ⑧encountered by the Romans elsewhere in north-western Europe, and had adopted versions of the culture and language we loosely call …Celtic‟. Outside the imperial⑨frontiers in Britain these continued largely unchanged; inside, the Celtic substratum persisted, assimilated and adapted by Rome in ways not in ⑩general closely paralleled by modern colonial empires.There is one part of women‟s magazines that every man reads. It is the section popularly known as the "agony columns", where women, and ①increasingly men, write for advice on their ②emtional problems. The person who answers these letters usually has a very reassuring name which ③suggests a gentle middle-aged lady with lots of wisdom and experience. At one time, it used to be widely believed that the letters were in fact all made up by someone on the ④editorial staff, and that the "Aunt Mary" who provided the answers was a fat man with beard, who drank like a fish, smoked like a chimney, and was ⑤unfaithful to his wife into the bargain. Although this may be true in some cases, the ⑥majority of advice columns are genuine, and the advisory staff are highly qualified people with a deep understanding of human problems.At one time, only the answers were ⑦published, not the letters themselves. Much of the fun in reading them⑧lay in trying to work out what on earth the problem was that led to such ⑨peculiar answers. Nowadays everything is much more explicit, and questions of the most intimate kind are fully dealt with. As the agony columns have become more progessional and more frank, a lot of ⑩fun has gone out of them. This is undoubtedly a good thing, because there is something very bad about our tendency to laugh at the misfortunes of our fellow men.In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather was not very good even in summer. So a lot of people left the country for a vacation. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Athens／Span and Greece. Once they arrived their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holiday habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate. So people do not need to go overseas to find good weather, although going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British are choosing to spend their summer holiday in the UK.1。

During the next half-century, most wealthy societies—the United States is a conspicuous exception—will lose population; all will have older populations. This is a collective change that will profoundly influence the world economy, the future of democracy and relations between nations with declining populations(generally richer countries) and those with expanding populations (generally poorer countries). Just how large the effect might be is anyone’s guess. But the driving forces behind ageing and population decline, low birthrates and longer life expectancy—seem fairly fixed.Only the United States—with higher birthrates and immigration—escapes population decline. But even in the United States, there are fewer potential workers for each potential retiree. As long as retirees are supported by taxpayers, through Social Security and health insurance, the economic burden on workers will rise. In most countries, the shifts would be stark and possibly unworkable. Germany’s working age population is projected to drop from 51million in 2000 to29 million in2050; meanwhile the 65 and over population rises from 14 million to 21 million. Although these precise predictions may prove wrong, the central truth is that ―the natural growth of population in the more developed countries has essentially ceased.‖Americans may have succeeded better in mixing family and work. Or immigrants may have more children than other Americans. Regardless, all rich nations will feel the pressure of the ageing—or declining populations. And th ere’s perverse possibility that more old people will further reduce the number of young people. If taxes on workers increase to cover higher retirement benefits, families’ willingness to have children may diminish, because it would be harder to pay for the m. Immigration is one possible safety valve. But for Europe and Japan, the increases needed to avert population declines would be huge.Richer countries could also prepare for their ageing by investing in poorer counties. Trade could substitute for immigration. Investments from wealthier countries would enable developing nations to build up their industries. As people retire in the rich world, they could use some of the dividends and interest from their investments to buy imports from poorer countries.To predict the future is not always easy. But few rich countries are anticipating it. They should be tempering the vicious circle of higher retirement spending, heavier taxes on workers and fewer children. This means gradually raising retirement ages and scaling back benefits, especially for wealthier retirees.1.The loss of population in rich countries is directly due toA . emigration to other countries.B . lower birthrate.C . the ageing problem.D . the influence of the world economy.正确答案:lower birthrate.题目详解:2.

According to the author, which measure should rich countries take?A . reducing the benefits of richer retireesB . making powerful constitutions.C . lowering starting age of workers.D . making attractive immigration policies.正确答案:reducing the benefits of richer retirees题目详解:The promise of finding long-term technological solutions to the problems of world food shortages seems difficult to fulfill. Many innovations that were once heavily supported and publicized, such as fish-protein concentrate and protein from algae grown on petroleum substrates, have since fallen by the wayside. The proposals themselves were technologically feasible, but theyproved to be economically unavailable and to yield food products culturally unacceptable to their consumers. Recent innovations such as Opaque-2 maize, Antarctic krill, and the wheatrye hybrid triticale seem more promising, but it is too early to predict their ultimate fate.One characteristic common to unsuccessful food innovations has been that, even with extensive government support, they often have not been technologically adapted or culturally acceptable to the people for whom they had been developed. A successful new technology, therefore, must fit the entire socio-cultural system in which it is to find a place. Security of crop yield, practicality of storage, palatability, and costs are much more significant than had previously been realized by the advocates of new technologies. For example, the better protein quality in tortillas made from Qpaque-2 maize will be of only limited benefit to a family on the margin of subsistence if the new maize is not culturally acceptable or is more vulnerable to insects.The adoption of new food technologies depends on more than these technical and cultural considerations；Economic factors and governmental policies also strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation. Economists in the Anglo-American tradition have taken the lead in investigating the economics of technological innovation. Although they exaggerate in claiming that profitability is the key factor guiding technical changing —they completely disregard the substantial effects of culture —they are correct in stressing the importance of profits. Most technological innovations in agriculture can be fully used only by large landowners and are only adopted if these profit-oriented business people believe that they increase their incomes. Thus, innovations that carry high rewards for big agribusiness groups will be adopted even if they harm segments of the population and reduce the availability of food in a country. Further, should a new technology promise to alter substantially the profits and losses associated with any production system, those with economic power will strive to maintain and improve their ow n positions. Since large segments of the populations of many developing countries are close to the subsistence margin and essentially powerless, they tend to be the losers in this system unless they are aided by a government policy that takes into account the needs of all sectors of the economy. Therefore, although technical advances in food production and processing will perhaps be needed to ensure food availability, meeting food needs will depend much more on equalizing economic power among the various segments of the populations within the developing countries themselves.1. According to the author, what is/are important to the success of a new food?A . Profitability and high rewards.B . Economic factors and governmental policies.C . Quality of the crop’s protein.D . Cultural acceptability of the crop.正确答案:Cultural acceptability of the crop.题目详解:2. The successful application of technological innovations will be largely determined byA . the production system of a country.B .

The Opaque-2 maize is a more recent innovation than the use of fish-protein concentrate.C . The Opaque-2 maize is more popular than the wheat-rye hybrid.D . The Opaque-2 maize can be stored as easily as other varieties of maize.正确答案:The Opaque-2 maize is a more recent innovation than the use of fish-protein concentrate.题目详解:4. In developing countries, the introduction of a food innovation needs governmental policies toA . convince landowners to try the innovation.B . guarantee the financial success of the innovation.C . ensure the spread of the benefits of the innovation.D . reduce the cost of the innovation.正确答案:ensure the spread of the benefits of the innovation.题目详解:5. The purpose of the text is toA . show difficulties of applying technological solutions to the food shortage.B . discuss the costs of introducing a new food technology to a developing country.C . introduce means of assessing the extent of the world food shortage.D . analysis the nature of new technological innovations in the area of food production.正确答案:introduce means of assessing the extent of the world food shortage.题目详解:Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts between the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of PhDs. Some have placed the dropouts’ loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was based on 22.000 questionnaires sent to former graduates students who were enrolled in 24 universities and itseemed to show many past fears to be groundless.The dropouts rate was found to be 31 percent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the PhD requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated ―because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of PhD programs were capable of completing the requirement for the degree. Attrition at the PhD level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity. Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the PhD. ―The results of our research‖ Dr. Tucker concluded, ―did not support these opinions.‖1. Lack of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out.2. Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialties.3. Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation.Nearly 75 percent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass to the qualifying examination, uncompleted thesis and failure to pass language exams. Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their PhD program, lack of finances was marked by 19 percent.As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving ＄20,000 and more annually while none of the PhD’s with that background reached this figure and 78% at the level of ＄75,00 to ＄15,000 against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where PhD’s tend to rise to the highest salaries, are still lagging behind other fields.As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus, the outlook was glum. The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25% of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.1. The author states that many educators feel thatA . the dropout rate is attributable to the lack of stimulation by faculty members.B . steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.C . the PhD holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout.D . the dropouts should return to a better school to continue their study.正确答案: steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.题目详解:2. What has the research mentioned in the text shown?A . Dropouts are substantially below PhD’s in financial attainment.B . The motivation factor is a minor one in regard to pursuing PhD studies.C . The PhD candidate is likely to change his specialization if he drops out.D . About one-third of those who start PhD work do not finish the requirement.正确答案: About one-third of those who start PhD work do not finish the requirement.题目详解:3. What does the author mean by “glum”(Para. 9）?A . Bright.B . Uncertain.C . Bloomy.D . Clear.正确答案: Bloomy.题目详解:4. According to the text, which of the following statement is true?A . Foreign language requirements for the PhD vary in difficulty among universities.B . It is essential for the PhD to meet the language requirements of many PhD programs.C . Meeting language requirements for the PhD is a more frequent reason for dropping out.D . Meeting language requirements for the PhD is more difficult for the humanities candidate.正确答案: Meeting language requirements for the PhD is more difficult for the humanities candidate.题目详解:5. What can be inferred from the text?A . So many PhD candidates drop out in that academic requirement is too high for them.B . 25% of the dropouts considering returning to school will go on with their present job.C . The high rate of dropouts is because of the reality that the salary for dropouts is higher.D . The high rate of dropouts lies in the fact that the salary for PhD is too low.正确答案: The high rate of dropouts lies in the fact that the salary for PhD is too low.题目详解:In 1967, in response to widespread public concern aroused by medical reports of asbestos-related deaths, the National Medical Research Council organized committee of inquiry to investigate the health threats associated with the use of asbestos in the building industry.After examining evidence provided by medical researchers and building workers and management,the Council published a report which included advice for dealing with asbestos. The report confirmed the findings of familiar research in the United States and Canada. Exposure to relatively small quantities of asbestos fibers, they concluded, was directly responsible for the development of cancers, asbestosis and related diseases. Taking into account evidence provided by economists and building industry management, however, the report assumed that despite the availability of other materials, asbestos would continue to play a major role in the British building industry for many years to come because its availability and low cost.As a result, the Council gave a series of recommendations which were intended to reduce the risks to those who might be exposed to asbestos in working environments. They recommended that, where possible, asbestos free materials should be employed. In case where asbestos was employed, it was recommended that it should be used in such a way that loose fibers were less likely to enter the air.The report recommended that special care should be taken during working in environments which contain asbestos. Workers should wear protective equipment and take special care to remove dust from the environment and clothing with the use of vacuum cleaner.The report identified five factors which determine the level of risk involved. The state and type of asbestos is critical to determining the risk factors. In addition, dust formation was found to be limited where asbestos was used when wet rather than dry.The choice of tools was also found to affect the quantities of asbestos particles that enter the air. Machine tools produce greater quantities of dust than hand tools and, where possible, the use of the latter was recommended.A critical factor takes place in risk reduction in the adequate ventilation of the working environment. When work takes place in an enclosed space, more asbestos particles and it was therefore recommended that natural or machine ventilation should be used. By closely following these words of advice, it was claimed that exposure can be reduced to a reasonably practical minimum.1. Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause cancerA . even if it is used in small quantities.B . if it is used when wet rather than dry.C . only when asbestos is used in building industry.D . only when asbestos is used in large quantities.正确答案:even if it is used in small quantities.题目详解:2. Exposure to asbestos fibers is harmful to people’s healthA . so the use of asbestos os limited.B . so other new kinds of material are under development.C . but they will not be so when ventilation devises are used.D . but asbestos will continue to be used for a long time.正确答案:but asbestos will continue to be used for a long time.题目详解:3. Evidence from the economists and the building industries show thatA . exposure to asbestos fibers is limited.B . exposure to asbestos fibers can be reduced significantly.C . use if asbestos is being reduced gradually.D . asbestos is in existence use in building industry.正确答案:asbestos is in existence use in building industry.题目详解:4. According to the text, which of the following is true?A . V entilation plays an important role in reducing the harm brought by asbestos.B . State and types of asbestos is meaningless to determining the risk factors.C . Quantity of asbestos has no relation to the risk factors.D . Choice of tools cannot affect the quantities of asbestos particles that enter the air.正确答案:V entilation plays an important role in reducing the harm brought by asbestos.题目详解:5. It can be inferred from the text that the real danger comes fromA . the excessive use of man-made asbestos material.B . the contact of the worker’s skin with asbestos particles.C . the inferior quality of the asbestos itself.D . the asbestos dust that people take in.正确答案:the asbestos dust that people take in.The video game poses a world—a much simple world than our own, wherein success is very clearly defined and, for a time, clearly attainable. Through practice, a player can control this world for a while. He can escape from the anxieties of real life into a place where his own actions always count, where he can be a hero. When the game is over, he hasn’t lost or been beaten. Is a surfer beaten when he flies from a wave?Most video game call for some semblance of hand–eye coordination, and some hospitals are now using them in rehabilitation programs for brain-damaged patients. It has been found that some patient who were otherwise thought to be unreachable have bee n ―brought out‖ through their use. Moreover, experimental research is now being conducted regarding the feasibility of video games as a test for drunken driving. Intoxicants act to slow action time and impair coordination—andnowhere are this kind of impairment more measurable than on the video game play field. Someday a poor showing at ―Six-Pack Man‖ may cost you your license.Video games for the microcomputer are not restricted to mere ―twithch‖ games, however,. Strategy games are at last as popular, and among these are the so-called ―fantasy-roe playing‖ adventures. These games allow the player to construct a whole new personality, choosing strength and weakness from a list of possible character traits.Nowadays, more and more adolescents are crowed in electronic game house for whole days to experience what they perceived to be excitement. In the due course, they train their abilities in confronting with new situations, and what’s more, they learn how to communicating with their targeted rivals, in a novel and friendly way. But there is such a large amount of criticism concerning the electronic games that they are generally seen as a vile ways of discovering hospitality and belligerence. And the managers of such businesses are severely criticized by the schools and parents alike. One the other hand, this business seems never fading, but instead it become a success in many places, even it is strictly controlled by certain polic ies.One might choose, for instance, a character who is extremely dexterous and swift, but these positive trait must be trade off against others, such as strength and endurance. Players have a tendency to become extremely attached to their characters. My preference runs toward brain as opposed to brain, which probably reflects some compr omise between reality and my own desires. I’m also attached to extrasensory powers, which are likewise denied to me in the real world.1. According to the text, the video game player canA . Control the world of his own for a time.B . Never lose the game when he plays a hero.C . Forget about the uneasiness of real life for a while.D . Be successful in his life if success is clearly defined.正确答案:Forget about the uneasiness of real life for a while.题目详解:2.
