7、omen in the 1 world was unthinkable. No “nice“ woman would dream of 2 what was strictly a “man“s world“. Even if she could, what would she do? Teaching was the first profession 3 to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter 4 most high schools and colleges we
8、re open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to 5 women. Hospital nursing became 6 work for women only after Florence Nightingale became 7 .

13、 when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was readymade. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailo
14、r, and all his life had done everything by the clock. Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the paper arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill“s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o“clock, so
15、at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on any body who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competior was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doormat,
16、and at 4 o“clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile. He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Excpet in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from
17、 a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck. I could see, but he was making no effort to move. “What“s wrong, Bill?“ I called out from the path. For answer, be
18、put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.“ I had never known anyone

22、lC.Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strangeD.Bill stayed in his flat六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem“. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this
23、idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn“t watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not e
24、at more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slim people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Standford Univ
25、ersity School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.（分数：12.00）(1).The physical problem that many
26、 adult Americans have is that _.（分数：3.00）A.they are too slimB.they work too hardC.they are too fatD.they lose too much body fat(2).According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, _ people will have a “weight problem“.（分数：3.00）A.30B.50C.100D.150(3).Is there any scientific evidence to support tha
27、t eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem“?（分数：3.00）A.Yes, there is plenty of evidenceB.Of course, there is some evidence to show that this is trueC.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support thisD.We don“t know because the information is not given(4).In comparison with the adult A
28、merican population today, the Americans of the 1910s _.（分数：3.00）A.ate more food and had more physical activitiesB.ate less food but had more activitiesC.ate less food and had less physical exerciseD.had more weight problems七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The law is a great many of rules, showing when
29、 and how far a man is likely to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so forth. These rules are contained (包含) in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books. He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by, say, three
30、years“ study to practice, still, all his lifelong and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer. The power to use books, then, is a talent (天资) which he would be (将要成为的) lawyer ought to have. He ought t
31、o be very flexible (灵活的) and fine to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to be ready in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct (本能) for where to look for what he wants. But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not t
32、he most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules, which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble. He studies his books in order to advise and to t
33、ry his eases in the right way.（分数：12.00）(1).The first thing a law student has to do is to _.（分数：3.00）A.read booksB.hand over moneyC.practice lawD.answer questions(2).After three years of reading, _.（分数：3.00）A.he can study lawB.he can stop readingC.he still has to continue readingD.he is able to give
34、 intelligent answers(3).According to this passage, a would-be lawyer ought to have the ability to _.（分数：3.00）A.make best use of booksB.read every book carefullyC.read any books without difficultyD.look for books everywhere(4).The main business of a lawyer is to _.（分数：3.00）A.discuss the material he h
35、as readB.advise people who have legal problemsC.learn about real lifeD.study the law八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American
36、 universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student wou
37、ld expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practic
38、e. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is records, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student af
39、fairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a stude
40、nt court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.（分数：12.00）(1).Normally a student would at least at
41、tend _ classes each week.（分数：3.00）A.36B.12C.20D.15(2).According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _.（分数：3.00）A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to get two degrees from different univers
42、ities(3).American university students are usually under pressure of work because _.（分数：3.00）A.their academic performance will affect their future careersB.they are heavily involved in student affairsC.they have to observe university disciplineD.they want to run for positions of authority(4).Some stu
43、dents are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because _.（分数：3.00）A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions help them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well paid九、Passage Five
44、(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a waste product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better. Scientists, for several years
45、, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet is becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully. There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can“t hear yourself think. Doctors who s
46、tudy noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don“t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems. Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress. But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so
47、much about noise that government stopped chariots (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night! Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the “good old days“ of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noiseif we shout loudly enough about
48、 it.（分数：12.00）(1).Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?（分数：3.00）A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisyB.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollutionC.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beingsD.Because people knew little about no
49、ise before(2).What may happen if we cannot hear ourselves think?（分数：3.00）A.We may forget what we have thought aboutB.Our thoughts may be disturbedC.Our mind may be disturbedD.We may have difficulty finding the right words(3).When the writer says we cannot return to the “good old days“, he means that _.（分数：3.00）A.our society is becoming much worse than beforeB.in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet lifeC.the old days were much hap
