Women in business were unheard of. No respectable woman would dream of entering what was strictly a “man's world”. Even if she would, what could she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job well outside her home. This was a widely-accepted idea. When the famous Bronte sisters began writing books in 1846, they had to resort to using men's names as aliases.Teaching was the first profession opened to women, soon after 1800. But even that was not easy for women to take because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to take in women.Nursing was regarded as a respectable profession for women only after Florence Nightingale won high credit for her nursing career and became famous. Miss Nightingale opened the first training school for nursing in 1860 in England.The invention of typewriters in 1867 helped to bring women out of their homes to join the business world. Because women are careful and have nimble fingers, businessmen found that they were well suited to this kind of work.By 1890, tens of thousands of women were working in schools, hospitals, shops, offices, and factories both in England and the States. Some even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea of women working in business and other circles was accepted.（1）Oberlin College was the first college in America ________.A.where teaching was a profession only open to womenB.where girls could get advanced educationC.to train women to be teachers and nursesD.to accept women only as professors and students（2）It can be inferred from the text that besides nursing, Florence Nightingale was also ________.A.a doctorB.a lawyerC.a teacherD.a businessman（3）Quite a lot of women entered the business world ________.A.soon after 1800B.when Nightingale became famousC.at the beginning of this centuryD.after the typewriter came into being（二）A few weeks ago, I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro. I asked him what he wished to know about farmers. He smiled and said, "That we walk among you. We look like you and talk like you. We have advanced degrees and hobbies, just like you."Take Dave for example: He's a young man with a music degree. And if you walked past him on the street, you'd never think, "There goes a farmer."Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer? Probably not. I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls(工作服). I can tell you, that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know.Not only do we have to throw out our previous impression of farmers, but farming as a whole doesn't look much like it used to either. We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like, and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, they met a new crop of young farmers who were trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical(垂直的) farms. In a Florida field under the fight path of an airport, they discovered farmers with university degrees growing plants that might someday fuel our cars. And in a modern farm in California, they observed how farmers were using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.These farmers all spend their days in very different ways—none of them looks like the previous farmer we have in our mind—but they're all working on new ways to feed our planet. Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like, but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from. Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.（1）How does Dave describe today's farmers? （）A.They often walk on the street.B.They are leading a very busy life.C.They are similar to ordinary people.D.They have little time to make friends.（2）How does the author think most people see farmers? （）A.They usually wear overalls.B.They have interesting hobbies.C.They are skilled at growing crops.D.They know modern farming practices.（3）What was the purpose of the team? （）A.To deepen connections among farmers.B.To study different technologies in farming.C.To find the new developments of modern farming.D.To encourage farmers to use new farming method.（4）What do the farmers mentioned in Paragraph 5 have in common? （）A.They all work in the city.B.They all use high technology.C.They all do hard physical work.D.They all work with universities.四、任务型阅读（共5分）As spring comes to half the world, many people can enjoy the new growth that comes with warmer weather.
