This woman may be equipped with professional skills and perhaps valuable experience.She will not be content to be Executive Assistant to Mr.Seldom Seen of the Assistant Vice President's Girl Friday, who is the only one who comes in on Saturday. She is the symbol of what I call the Second Wave of Feminism.She is the modem woman who is determined to be. Her forerunner was the radical feminist who interpreted her trapped position as a female as oppression by the master class of men.Men, she believed, had created a domestic, servile role for women in order that men could have the career and the opportunity to participate in making the great decisions of society.Thus the radical feminist held that women through history had been oppressed and dehumanized, mainly because man chose to exploit his wife and the mother of his children.Sometimes it was deliberate exploitation and sometimes it was the innocence of never looking beneath the pretensions of life. The radical feminists found strength in banding together.Coming to recognize each other for the first time, they could explore their own identities, realize their own power, and view the male and his system as the common enemy.The first phases of feminism in the last five years often took on this militant, class-warfare tone.Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and many others hammered home their ideas with a persistence that aroused and intrigued many of the brightest and most able women in the country. Consciousness-raising groups allowed women to explore both their identities and their dreams-tnd the two were often found in direct conflict.What is the stereotyped role of American women? Marriage.A son.Two daughters.Breakfast. Ironing. Lunch.Bowling, maybe a garden club of for the very dating, non-credit courses in ceramics.Perhaps an occasional cocktail party.Dinner. Football or baseball on TV.Each day the same.Never any growth in expectations--unless it is growth because the husband has succeeded.The inevitable question: "Is that all there is to life?'" The rapid growth of many feminist organizations attests to the fact that these radical feminists had touched some vital nerves.The magazine "Ms." was born in the year of the death of the magazine "Life." But too often the consciousness-raising sessions became ends in themselves.Too often sexism reversed itself and man-hating was encouraged.Many had been with the male chauvinist. It is not difficult, therefore, to detect a trend toward moderation. Consciousness-raising increasingly is regarded as a means to independence and fulfillment, rather than a ceremony of fulfillment itself.Genuine independence can be realized through competence, through finding a career, through the use of education.Remember that for many decades the education of women was not supposed to be useful.
What is the passage mainly talking about? A.Career Prospective of Modem Women. B.The Second Wave of Feminist. C.The Radical Feminists in America. D.Stereotyped Role of American Women.
83、 The radical feminist maintained that women had been treated unfairly throughout history because A.men deliberately or unconsciously exploited them B.they were ignorant of the significance of life C.they were oppressed and dehumanized by the society D.they sacrificed a lot for family and children
84、 What does the word "militant" in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Potent. B.Valorous. C.Ambitious. D.Aggressive.
85、 What might be the author's attitude toward the radical? A.Being fully supportive. B.Being strongly opposed. C.Partly disapproval. D.Totally indifference.
86、 In moderate trend, consciousness-raising is endowed with new sense as A.being female chauvinism B.seeking for compromise C.raising competitiveness in career D.fulfilling genuine independence
87、根據(jù)以下資料,回答87-106題: A nine-year-old schoolgirl single-handedly cooks up a science fair experiment that ends up debunking a widely practiced medical treatment.Emily Rosa's target was a practice known as therapeutic touch (TT for short), whose advocates manipulate patients' "energy field" to make them feel better and even, say some, to cure them of various ills.Yet Emily's test shows that these energy fields can't be detected, even by trained TT practitioners. Obviously mindful of the publicity value of the situation, Journal editor George Lundberg appeared on TV to declare, "Age doesn't matter.It's good science that matters, and this is good science." Emily's mother Linda Rosa, a registered nurse, has been campaigning against TT for nearly a decade.Linda first thought about TT in the' late '80s, when she learned it was on the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado.Its 100,000 trained practitioners (48,000 in the U.S.) don't even touch their patients.Instead, they waved their hands a few inches from the patient's body, pushing energy fields around until they're in "balance." TT advocates say these manipulations can help heal wounds, relieve pain and reduce fever.The claims are taken seriously enough that TT therapists are frequently hired by leading hospitals, at up to $70 an hour, to smooth patients' energy, sometimes during surgery. Yet Rosa could not find any evidence that it works.To provide such proof, TT therapists would have to sit down for independent testing—something they haven't been eager to do, even though James Randi has offered more than $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate the existence of a human energy field. (He's had one taker so far.She failed.) A skeptic might conclude that TT practitioners are afraid to lay their beliefs on the line.But who could turn down an innocent fourth grader? Says Emily: "I think they didn't take me very seriously because I'm a kid." The experimem was straight forward: 21 TT therapists stuck their hands, palms up, through a screen.Emily held her own hand over one of theirs left or right and the practitioners had to say which hand it was.When the results were recorded, they'd done no better than they would have by simply guessing.If there was an energy field, they couldn't feel it.
What was the so-called therapeutic touch about? A.Curing patients' diseases through special sensors. B.Treating patients with mental health problems with touching. C.Helping build patients' energy ield for them to get rid of diseases. D.Manipulating patients' energy field to make them feel better or recovered.
88、 Which of the following statements about TT is NOT true? A.It had been in existence for at least a decade. B.It was usually practiced to relieve pain of the patient. C.100,000 TT therapists were once practicing the treatment in the hospital. D.It was once on the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado.
89、 why were TT practitioners reluctant to accept independent testing? A.They would not get financial benefitsom the test. B.The reliability of the test was highly doubted. C.They believed the test was not in line with their practice. D.They did not want of disclose the truth to the public.
90、 Why did some TT therapists agree to be the subject of Emily's experiment? A.Each participator would be offered a good reward. B.The girl said she was going to play games with them. C.The experiment was straightforwardly participated. D.They sensed no harm in a little girl's experiment.
91、 What did Emily's experiment imply? A.TT is merely a guessing game. B.Even the widely accepted beliefs can be proved deceiving. C.Little children are more talented than adults in certain realms of science. D.It is unwise to overlook a child's words or ideas. 92、根據(jù)以下資料,回答92-111題: Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and "apricot leather". All foods include water---cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is.If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked. Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in Califomia, South Africa and Australia.The methods used vary, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun.In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulfur before drying.Plums, for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so as to increase the rate of drying. Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically.The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110~C at entry to about 43°C at exit.This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish. Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes.In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes.In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder.Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed. Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions.For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space.They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.Usually it is just a case of replacing the driedout moisture with boiling water.
The open-air method of drying food A.is the one most commonly used today B.was invented by the American Indians C.has been known for hundreds of years D.tends to be unhygienic
93、 Bacteria which cause food to go bad A.cannot live in sunlight B.are killed by drying C.are in no way dependent on the water content D.have their activity greatly reduced by drying
94、 Alkaline solutions are used to A.prevent darkening of certainfruit B.crack the skins of certain fruit C.produce special wax coating D.decrease the rate of drying
95、 Nowadays vegetables are most commonly dried A.on horizontal cylinders B.in hot-air chambers C.in the sun and wind D.by using the open tray method
96、 Dried foods A.are often packed in cans or frozen B.are used by soldiers and climbers C.need more storage space than available D.are much cheaper than canned or frozen products
97、根據(jù)以下資料,回答97-116題: As a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my habits, as are all grown men.I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life have already marked out a path which threatens to imprison my future.My actions are ruled by appetite, passion, prejudice, greed, love, fear, environment, habit, and the worst of these tyrants is habit.Therefore, if I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed.I will form good habits and become their slave. And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these scrolls, it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which will bring me closer to success.For it is another of nature's laws that only a habit can subdue another habit.So, in order for these written words to perform their chosen task, I must discipline myself with the first of my new habits which is as follows: I will read each scroll for thirty days in this prescribed manner, before I proceed to the next scroll. First, I will read the words in silence when I arise.Then, I will read the words in silence after I have partaken of my midday meal.Last, I will read the words again just before I retire at day's end, and most important, on this occasion I will read the words aloud. On the next day I will repeat this procedure~ and I will continue in like manner for thirty days.Then, I will turn to the next scroll and repeat this procedure for another thirty days.I will continue in this manner until I have lived with each scroll for thirty days and my reading has become habit. And what will be accomplished with this habit? Herein lies the hidden secret of all man's accomplishments.As 1 repeat the words daily they will soon become a part of my active mind, but more important, they will also seep into nay other mind, that mysterious source which never sleeps, which creates my dreams, and often makes me act in ways I do not comprehend. As the words of these scrolls are consumed by my mysterious mind I will begin to awake, each morning, with a vitality I have never known before. My vigor will increase, my enthusiasm will rise, my desire to meet the world will overcome every fear I once knew at sunrise, and I will be happier than I ever believed it possible to be in this world of strife and sorrow.Eventually I will fmd myself reacting to all situations which confront me as I was commanded in the scrolls to react, and soon these actions and reactions will become easy to perform, for any act with practice becomes easy.Thus a new and good habit is born, for when an act becomes easy through constant repetition it becomes a pleasure to perform and if it is a pleasure to perform it is man's nature to perform it often.When I perform it often it becomes a habit and I become its'slave and since it is a good habit this is my will.Today I begin a new life.
In this passage, the author mainly wanted to illustrate how ________. A.he was enslaved by the impulsive action B.the good habits had been accumulated in the past years C.to formulate good habits in the future D.to distinguish good habits from bad habits

This woman may be equipped with professional skills and perhaps valuable experience.She will not be content to be Executive Assistant to Mr.Seldom Seen of the Assistant Vice President's Girl Friday, who is the only one who comes in on Saturday. She is the symbol of what I call the Second Wave of Feminism.She is the modem woman who is determined to be. Her forerunner was the radical feminist who interpreted her trapped position as a female as oppression by the master class of men.Men, she believed, had created a domestic, servile role for women in order that men could have the career and the opportunity to participate in making the great decisions of society.Thus the radical feminist held that women through history had been oppressed and dehumanized, mainly because man chose to exploit his wife and the mother of his children.Sometimes it was deliberate exploitation and sometimes it was the innocence of never looking beneath the pretensions of life. The radical feminists found strength in banding together.Coming to recognize each other for the first time, they could explore their own identities, realize their own power, and view the male and his system as the common enemy.The first phases of feminism in the last five years often took on this militant, class-warfare tone.Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and many others hammered home their ideas with a persistence that aroused and intrigued many of the brightest and most able women in the country. Consciousness-raising groups allowed women to explore both their identities and their dreams-tnd the two were often found in direct conflict.What is the stereotyped role of American women? Marriage.A son.Two daughters.Breakfast. Ironing. Lunch.Bowling, maybe a garden club of for the very dating, non-credit courses in ceramics.Perhaps an occasional cocktail party.Dinner. Football or baseball on TV.Each day the same.Never any growth in expectations--unless it is growth because the husband has succeeded.The inevitable question: "Is that all there is to life?'" The rapid growth of many feminist organizations attests to the fact that these radical feminists had touched some vital nerves.The magazine "Ms." was born in the year of the death of the magazine "Life." But too often the consciousness-raising sessions became ends in themselves.Too often sexism reversed itself and man-hating was encouraged.Many had been with the male chauvinist. It is not difficult, therefore, to detect a trend toward moderation. Consciousness-raising increasingly is regarded as a means to independence and fulfillment, rather than a ceremony of fulfillment itself.Genuine independence can be realized through competence, through finding a career, through the use of education.Remember that for many decades the education of women was not supposed to be useful.
What is the passage mainly talking about? A.Career Prospective of Modem Women. B.The Second Wave of Feminist. C.The Radical Feminists in America. D.Stereotyped Role of American Women.
83、 The radical feminist maintained that women had been treated unfairly throughout history because A.men deliberately or unconsciously exploited them B.they were ignorant of the significance of life C.they were oppressed and dehumanized by the society D.they sacrificed a lot for family and children
84、 What does the word "militant" in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Potent. B.Valorous. C.Ambitious. D.Aggressive.
85、 What might be the author's attitude toward the radical? A.Being fully supportive. B.Being strongly opposed. C.Partly disapproval. D.Totally indifference.
86、 In moderate trend, consciousness-raising is endowed with new sense as A.being female chauvinism B.seeking for compromise C.raising competitiveness in career D.fulfilling genuine independence
87、根據(jù)以下資料,回答87-106題: A nine-year-old schoolgirl single-handedly cooks up a science fair experiment that ends up debunking a widely practiced medical treatment.Emily Rosa's target was a practice known as therapeutic touch (TT for short), whose advocates manipulate patients' "energy field" to make them feel better and even, say some, to cure them of various ills.Yet Emily's test shows that these energy fields can't be detected, even by trained TT practitioners. Obviously mindful of the publicity value of the situation, Journal editor George Lundberg appeared on TV to declare, "Age doesn't matter.It's good science that matters, and this is good science." Emily's mother Linda Rosa, a registered nurse, has been campaigning against TT for nearly a decade.Linda first thought about TT in the' late '80s, when she learned it was on the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado.Its 100,000 trained practitioners (48,000 in the U.S.) don't even touch their patients.Instead, they waved their hands a few inches from the patient's body, pushing energy fields around until they're in "balance." TT advocates say these manipulations can help heal wounds, relieve pain and reduce fever.The claims are taken seriously enough that TT therapists are frequently hired by leading hospitals, at up to $70 an hour, to smooth patients' energy, sometimes during surgery. Yet Rosa could not find any evidence that it works.To provide such proof, TT therapists would have to sit down for independent testing—something they haven't been eager to do, even though James Randi has offered more than $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate the existence of a human energy field. (He's had one taker so far.She failed.) A skeptic might conclude that TT practitioners are afraid to lay their beliefs on the line.But who could turn down an innocent fourth grader? Says Emily: "I think they didn't take me very seriously because I'm a kid." The experimem was straight forward: 21 TT therapists stuck their hands, palms up, through a screen.Emily held her own hand over one of theirs left or right and the practitioners had to say which hand it was.When the results were recorded, they'd done no better than they would have by simply guessing.If there was an energy field, they couldn't feel it.
What was the so-called therapeutic touch about? A.Curing patients' diseases through special sensors. B.Treating patients with mental health problems with touching. C.Helping build patients' energy ield for them to get rid of diseases. D.Manipulating patients' energy field to make them feel better or recovered.
88、 Which of the following statements about TT is NOT true? A.It had been in existence for at least a decade. B.It was usually practiced to relieve pain of the patient. C.100,000 TT therapists were once practicing the treatment in the hospital. D.It was once on the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado.
89、 why were TT practitioners reluctant to accept independent testing? A.They would not get financial benefitsom the test. B.The reliability of the test was highly doubted. C.They believed the test was not in line with their practice. D.They did not want of disclose the truth to the public.
90、 Why did some TT therapists agree to be the subject of Emily's experiment? A.Each participator would be offered a good reward. B.The girl said she was going to play games with them. C.The experiment was straightforwardly participated. D.They sensed no harm in a little girl's experiment.
91、 What did Emily's experiment imply? A.TT is merely a guessing game. B.Even the widely accepted beliefs can be proved deceiving. C.Little children are more talented than adults in certain realms of science. D.It is unwise to overlook a child's words or ideas. 92、根據(jù)以下資料,回答92-111題: Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and "apricot leather". All foods include water---cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is.If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked. Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in Califomia, South Africa and Australia.The methods used vary, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun.In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulfur before drying.Plums, for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so as to increase the rate of drying. Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically.The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110~C at entry to about 43°C at exit.This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish. Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes.In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes.In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder.Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed. Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions.For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space.They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.Usually it is just a case of replacing the driedout moisture with boiling water.
The open-air method of drying food A.is the one most commonly used today B.was invented by the American Indians C.has been known for hundreds of years D.tends to be unhygienic
93、 Bacteria which cause food to go bad A.cannot live in sunlight B.are killed by drying C.are in no way dependent on the water content D.have their activity greatly reduced by drying
94、 Alkaline solutions are used to A.prevent darkening of certainfruit B.crack the skins of certain fruit C.produce special wax coating D.decrease the rate of drying
95、 Nowadays vegetables are most commonly dried A.on horizontal cylinders B.in hot-air chambers C.in the sun and wind D.by using the open tray method
96、 Dried foods A.are often packed in cans or frozen B.are used by soldiers and climbers C.need more storage space than available D.are much cheaper than canned or frozen products
97、根據(jù)以下資料,回答97-116題: As a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my habits, as are all grown men.I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life have already marked out a path which threatens to imprison my future.My actions are ruled by appetite, passion, prejudice, greed, love, fear, environment, habit, and the worst of these tyrants is habit.Therefore, if I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed.I will form good habits and become their slave. And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these scrolls, it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which will bring me closer to success.For it is another of nature's laws that only a habit can subdue another habit.So, in order for these written words to perform their chosen task, I must discipline myself with the first of my new habits which is as follows: I will read each scroll for thirty days in this prescribed manner, before I proceed to the next scroll. First, I will read the words in silence when I arise.Then, I will read the words in silence after I have partaken of my midday meal.Last, I will read the words again just before I retire at day's end, and most important, on this occasion I will read the words aloud. On the next day I will repeat this procedure~ and I will continue in like manner for thirty days.Then, I will turn to the next scroll and repeat this procedure for another thirty days.I will continue in this manner until I have lived with each scroll for thirty days and my reading has become habit. And what will be accomplished with this habit? Herein lies the hidden secret of all man's accomplishments.As 1 repeat the words daily they will soon become a part of my active mind, but more important, they will also seep into nay other mind, that mysterious source which never sleeps, which creates my dreams, and often makes me act in ways I do not comprehend. As the words of these scrolls are consumed by my mysterious mind I will begin to awake, each morning, with a vitality I have never known before. My vigor will increase, my enthusiasm will rise, my desire to meet the world will overcome every fear I once knew at sunrise, and I will be happier than I ever believed it possible to be in this world of strife and sorrow.Eventually I will fmd myself reacting to all situations which confront me as I was commanded in the scrolls to react, and soon these actions and reactions will become easy to perform, for any act with practice becomes easy.Thus a new and good habit is born, for when an act becomes easy through constant repetition it becomes a pleasure to perform and if it is a pleasure to perform it is man's nature to perform it often.When I perform it often it becomes a habit and I become its'slave and since it is a good habit this is my will.Today I begin a new life.
In this passage, the author mainly wanted to illustrate how ________. A.he was enslaved by the impulsive action B.the good habits had been accumulated in the past years C.to formulate good habits in the future D.to distinguish good habits from bad habits
98、 What was the first new habit that the author would accomplish? A.Write principles in the scroll each day. B.Drive off a bad habit each day. C.Read a new scroll each day D.Read each scroll for thirty days.

100、 What would the author benefit from the habit? A.He would no longer be afraid of repetition. B.He would memorize all the words in the scroll. C.He would perform the words accordingly without difficulty. D.He would be able to establish a happier world.
101、 What does the author suggest as the primary factor of forming a habit? A.Constant repetition. B.Easiness to act. C.Pleasure to perform. D.Human nature.
