She decided that she wanted to continue her education. Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school, though

30、 some attended private Catholic “finishing“ schools. There they learned a little about music, art, needlework, and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria-or her mother. By this time, she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constan

31、tly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school, something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time, there were

32、two types of high schools; the “classical“ schools and the “technical“ schools. In the classical schools, the students followed a very traditional program of studies, with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature, and Italian literature and history. The few girls who continued studying aft

33、er primary school usually chose these schools.Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modern than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages, mathematics, science, and accounting. Most peopleincluding Maria s father-believed that g

34、irls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school, she had to win

35、her father s approval. She finally did, with her mother s help, though for many years after, there was tension in the family. Maria s father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.In 1883, at age thirteen, Maria entered the “Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti“ in Rome.

36、Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modern subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for

37、 themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.31 Maria wanted to attend_.（A）technical high school（B） school with Latin and Greek（C） private “finishing“ school（D）school for ar

38、t and music32 In those days, most Italian girls_.（A）went to “finishing“ schools（B） went to classical schools（C） did not go to high school（D）went to technical schools33 You can infer from this passage that_.（A）only boys usually attended technical schools（B） only girls attended classical schools（C） gi

But the official said t

41、he firing came several hours before the structure burst into flames, killing 80 people including the Davidians leader, David Koresh.“In looking into this, weve come across information that shows some canisters that can be deemed pyrotechnic in nature were firedhours before the fire started, “ the of

42、ficial said. “Devices were fired at the bunker, not at the main structure where the Davidians were camped out. “The Federal Bureau of Investigation maintains it did not start what turned to be a series of fiery bursts of flames that ended a 51-day standoff between branch members and the federal gove

43、rnment. “This doesnt change the bottom line that David Koresh started the fire and the government did not, “ the official said. “It simple shows that devices that could probably be flammable were used in the early morning hours. “The law enforcement official said the canisters were fired not at the

44、main structure where the Davidian members were camped out but at the nearby underground bunker. They bounced off the bunkers concrete roof and landed in an open field well, the official said. The canisters were fired at around 6 a. m. , and the fire that destroyed the wooden compound started around

45、noon, the official said. The official also added that other tear gas canisters used by agent that day were not flammable or potentially explosive.While Coulson denied the grenades played a role in starting the fire, his statement marked the first time that any U. S. government official has publicly

46、contradicted the governments position that federal agents used nothing on the final day of the siege at Waco that could have sparked the fire that engulfed the compound. The cause of the fiery end is a major focus of an ongoing inquiry by the Texas Rangers into the Waco siege.36 The FBI official has

47、 NOT admitted that_.（A）the canisters were fired at the main structure（B） the canisters were fired hours before the fire started（C） federal agents fired tear gas canisters capable of causing a fire（D）other tear gas canisters that were not flammable or potentially explosive were also used37 From the p
