, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U．S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913－2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil－rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in，〞said Parks.1．What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A．Her social work.B．Her lack of proper training in law.C．Her efforts to win a prize.D．Her community background.2．Who made a great contribution to the civil－rights movement in the US?A．Jane Addams.

But climbing telephone poles? Now that's a whole different story.In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus, Georgia. I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it. I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself.I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at otheroutdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997.I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy (假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encouraged me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around town and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day.People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, “Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I h eard a man say, “Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential. Sometimes I felt a little nervous,but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could have done what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.5.When the author first became a lineman, .A. she was sure to be promotedB. she loved it and went all out for itC. she tried her best to convince her husbandD. she received immediate recognition from colleagues6.What is needed to be a lineman according to the author?A. Concentration and strength.B. Confidence and patience.C. Bravery and devotion.D. Efficiency and talent.7.Which of the following best describe the author's husband?A. Outgoing and considerate.B. Proud and demanding.C. Adventurous and humorous.D. Open-minded and supportive.CMotorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads〞, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.〞There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,〞wrote one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.〞8. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on _____.A. how far the grooves areB. how big the grooves areC. the number of the groovesD. the speed of the car9. The underlined word “optimal〞in the passage might mean ________.A. fastestB. possibleC. bestD. slowest10. In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.A. drive very fastB. drive slowlyC. open the windows wideD. keep the windows closed11. What’s the best title of the passage?A.A New Type of MusicB. Melody Roads in JapanC.A Musical Road SurfaceD.A New Invention in JapanDBabies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. New research suggeststhey're lipreaders too.Florida scientists discovered that starting around age 6 months, babies begin shifting from the eye gaze(注视)to studying mouths when people talk to them.“In order to imitate you, the baby has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they're hearing，〞explains psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study. “It's an incredibly complex proc ess.〞Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start shifting back to look you in the eye again — unless they hear the unfamiliar sounds of a foreign language. Then, they stick with lipreading a bit longer.In the experiment, David Lewkowicz tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. A device tracked where each baby was focusing his or her gaze and recorded how long the gaze lasted.They found a dramatic shift in attention: When the speaker used English, the 4-month olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6 month olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8 and 10 month olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started shifting back toward the speaker's eyes.It makes sense that at 6 months, babies begin observing lip movement, Lewkowicz says, because that's about the time babies' brains gain the ability to control their attention rather than automatically look toward noise.But what happened when these babies used to English heard Spanish? The 12 -month olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to decipher (破译)the unfamiliar sounds.“It's a pretty interesting finding，〞says University of Iowa psychology professor Bob McMurray, who also studies baby speech development. The babies “know what they need to know about, and they're able to draw their attention towhat's important at that point in language development.〞12. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Babies Learn to Talk from Hearing SoundsB. Babies Learn to Talk by Reading LipsC. How Babies Learn Language after BirthD. Babies Can Understand a Foreign Language13. When an adult talks to a 5 month old baby, the baby usually ______.A. looks the adult into the eyesB. watches the adult's lipC. studies the adult's facial expressionsD. feels very excited14. When babies are half one year old, what can they do?A. They can control their attention.B. They can recognize human faces.C. They can play with toys.D. They can tell parents from others.15. We can infer that David Lewkowicz ______.A. did the experiment on his ownB. teaches Spanish at Florida Atlantic UniversityC. invited a woman to speak English to babiesD. studies baby speech development第二节〔共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying, sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground and, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. "Kia ora," he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.My "tribe" was my New Zealand coach tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽) by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. "The wheels on the bus go round and round," he got us singing, while he circuited a roundabout three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was — Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as "the land of the long white cloud". Can I say "Kia ora, Aotearoa?" You bet I can.4. How were the visitors greeted in the tribe?A. The soldiers made a palm leaf road.B. The soldiers touched their noses.C. The soldiers shook sticks fiercely.D. The soldiers made noise with shut eyes.5. Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?A. Kia ora.B. Haka.C. Hangi.D. Tamaki.6. What does the author think of the driver?A. He was good at singing.B. He made the journey memorable.C. He was not familiar with the road.D. He performed well on a TV show.7. What is the best title for the text?A. A taste of Maori cultureB. Hello, New ZealandC. The honour of being a tribe chiefD.

Melody Roads in JapanC.A Musical Road SurfaceD.A New Invention in JapanDThere is a popular saying in the English language: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called "the silent treatment" can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry’s website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.12. Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?A. To show the power of words.B. To introduce an opposite view.C. To prove the author’s argument.D. To show ancient people’s wisdom.13. What did the subjects have in common?A. They were hurt by unkind words.B. They performed poorly in imaging tests.C. They had their brain slightly damaged.D. They experienced no physical abuse at home.14. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?A. Comments on the findings.B. Approaches to further studies.C. Suggestions to parents.D. Different opinions on the matter.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The way we speak matters.B. Verbal violence should be stopped.C. Unkind words hurt the brain.D. Words are worse than sticks and stones.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
