28、aspects of the womens liberation movement. Some women agree with all of the goals of womens liberation. They want full equality with men in every aspect of life. In marriage, they want husbands and wives to share all of the work and responsibilities of a home and family. In work, they want women and
29、 men to have the same jobs and the same chance to succeed. They want women to be paid just as much as men are for the same work. Other women agree with some of the ideas of womens liberation. They want the same pay if they hold the same job as a man. At home, however, they do not expect their husban
30、ds to share in the cleaning, cooking, and other household jobs.It is important to remember that the womens liberation movement is not concerned only with concrete issues. The movement is also concerned with attitudes and beliefs. One example of this concern is the issue of a womans identity. A woman
31、s identity is what she thinks of herself as a person, who she thinks she is, and what she thinks she can do. Some women do not think they are capable of doing anything important, The womens liberation movement would like to help these women improve their view of themselves. Mary women who are concer
32、ned with womens liberation have taken jobs, have helped others, have raised healthy children, and have done many other things to contribute to their communities.

35、ings?（分数：2.00）A.Taking jobs.B.Raising healthy children.C.Doing many other things to contribute to their communities.D.Being bosses at home.BPassage Two/BIt is a fair bet that more than half of the PCs bought this Christmas in America for less than $1 000 will have AMD rather than Intel inside. Not c
36、ontent with this seasonal miracle, Advanced Micro Devices is bidding to loosen Intels grip on the more profitable high end of the market too. It could well succeed.For most of its existence, AMD has lived in the shadow of the deal that it did with Intel in 1982. To power its PCs, IBM had decided to
37、buy Intels new x-86 chips, but wanted a second supplier to keep Intel under control. Under the terms of the agreement, Intel got the contract, but had to share its intellectual property with the smaller AMD. Intel broke the arrangement, AMD started a lawsuit, and thus began nearly a decade of bitter
38、 legal battles between the two companies.The conflict misrepresented AMDs business, absorbed management energy and weakened investor confidence. By selling cheap Intel clones(克隆产品), AMD staggered (蹒跚，摇晃) on, sometimes quite successfully, especially if Intel was late to market with a new product. But
39、 despite the support of computer makers complaining under Intels dominance, trying to get a lift on the back of an ill-tempered 8001b gorilla(大猩猩) was proving a risky form of existence.Eventually, under a settlement in 1995, AMD gave up any rights to Intel microcode. It was confident that its home-g
40、rown k5 would give Intels Pentium a run for its money, while a new $1.8 billion plant in Texas would meet demand and match Intels manufacturing skills. It did not. Design faults put the k5 more than two years behind the Pentium, and the Austin plant lay largely idle.（分数：8.00）(1).What does the last s
41、entence of paragraph 1 suggest?（分数：2.00）A.AMD may have a great success.B.AMD deserves such a success.C.AMD may be fortunate enough to succeed.D.AMD is likely to succeed.(2)._ was proving a risky form of existence.（分数：2.00）A.Trying to get a liftB.Intels dominanceC.An ill-tempered gorillaD.The support
42、 of computer makers(3).In the last paragraph “give Intels Pentium a run for its money“ means _.（分数：2.00）A.give Pentium money in return for its effortsB.keep Pentium active and runningC.cause Pentium to decline quicklyD.become a strong competitor of Pentium(4).The last paragraph is most likely to be
43、followed by _.（分数：2.00）A.the markets confidence in AMDB.the support of computer makersC.what would save AMDD.the legal battles between the two companiesBPassage Three/BThe study of ecology is important for everyone who cares about our world. Air, water, and land - we would not live without any of th
44、ese. But what do we mean by land? It is the earth beneath our feet, wherever we are. It is mountains and plains. It is wide fields for growing com and wheat. Or it may be an airfield or a parking lot or a highway or a whole city - land covered with cement, asphalt, and buildings. Land is the solid p
45、art of the Earth.Land is the soil plants grow in. That is the most important things about the land - it is the place where green plants grow. Without green plants there would be not life on Earth. Green leaves make oxygen. All of us - ants, elephants, people, every living creature - must have oxygen
46、 to stay alive. We breathe in oxygen and our bodies use it. Carbon dioxide is formed in the process and we breathe it out. Leaves use carbon dioxide along with water to make food for plants. Then they give off oxygen.This process has been going on for millions of years. It is part of the pattern of
47、our natural life on Earth. This pattern had changed very little for millions of years before people arrived on Earth. People found ways to improve their lives by changing nature, by trying to make nature fit in with their way of life. Warm houses in winter, electric lights at night, factories to pro
48、duce our food, our clothes, our gadgets(零用品) - all this people have accomplished. And we learned to grow more food on the land than nature could grow without our help.All this is good - up to a point. But it has gone too far. We have produced too much and we have failed to see what this was doing to our world. We have not understood the ways in which all living things on Earth depend on one another. We ourselves have increased until the sheer numbers of people on Earth have upset the balance of na
