There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it“s like to work in a field dominat
2、ed by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes. At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least t

4、hed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don“t talk a
5、bout that anymore It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn“t want to deal with gender issues. Why should sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don“t study sociology or political theory. Today I research and teach at
6、 Barnard, a women“s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I

And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that“s a sight worth talking

13、 from curing disease to preventing diseaseespecially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat ve
14、ry nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tir
15、ed. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill“ and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention
16、 to the body“s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well“. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well“ and “wellness“ only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutritio
17、n and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body“s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well“ in this new sense, if they make an effor
18、t to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness“ may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease
19、 when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.（分数：25.00）(1).Today medical care is placing more stress on _.（分数：5.00）A.keeping people in a healthy physical condi

24、care.五、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：25.00)In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come work and live here? In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing. On Dec. 11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security,
25、federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel“ raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification (身份证明). In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests. But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America. A
26、uthorities said the undocumented workers“ illegal status made them open to blackmail (讹诈) by terrorists. Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods. Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certai
27、n extent. “We“re saying we want you to work in these places, we“re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it“s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you“re disposable. There are whole fam
28、ilies being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,“ Anderson said. If Sept. 11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely. Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben Jerry“s ice cream shop at the airport had been w
29、orking 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid. Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation (驱逐出境). Castro“s case is currently waiting to be settled. While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permis
30、sion to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben Jerry“s.（分数：25.00）(1).According to the author, the United States claims to be a nation _.（分数：5.00）A.composed of people having different valuesB.encouraging individual pursuitsC.sharing common interestsD.founded on shared ideals(2).How did the

32、errorists.B.most of them worked at airports under threat of terrorists.C.terrorists might take advantage of their illegal status.D.they were reportedly helping hide terrorists around the airport.(4).Which of the following word can describe the attitude of Mayor Anderson toward the immigrants? _（分数：5

34、is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it“s the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise I may some day lose everything, even my child. I can give everything for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve valu
35、e through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby. I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work. I think that is her first step into society. Marina: Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only
36、 way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity (实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world. Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I thi
37、nk I will also get a nanny (保姆) to lend me a hand. Ross: When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much bett
38、er job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant. Anita: Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial
39、 situation permits it, and a woman“s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child. Chandler: Although we may say women“s talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career
40、because of their family. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: There are two extra statements. Statements AMy wo
41、rk is the focus of my life. BFamily and work are both important for women. CMen and women should bear the same responsibility in family and work. DI would give up the whole world for my work. EWomen need work to prove their own value. FWomen are born to be mothers. GWomen understand the child better
