第5题：
C
It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers （生产商）follow certain uniform. standards for various features（特征）of clothes. What seems strange , however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form. the left. Considering most of the word’s population-men and women-are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?
History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the
17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hang, having men’s shirts button form. the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form. the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard , once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form. the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.
64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?
A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.
B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.
C. It woks better with men than with women.
D. It fails to consider right-handed people.

New Changes in American Life
Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families,while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children.______(46)But by the middle of this centu-ry,men's and women's roles were becoming less firmly fixed.
In the 1950s,economic and social success was the goal of the typical American.But in the 1960s a new force developed called the counterculture.______(47)The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices.Taking more interest in childcare,men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives.In fact,some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes.______(48)Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.
In terms of numbers,the counterculture was not a very large group of people._______(49) Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns.Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on"overtime"work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families.Some doctors,lawyers,and teachers turned away from high paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.
In the 1970s,the feminist movement,or women's liberation,produced additional economic and social changes.Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers.______(50)But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations: police work,banking,dentistry,and construction work.Women were asking for equal work,and equal opportunities for promotion.
Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women .Naturally,there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations._______(50)
A: In addition,many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier.
B: Most of them still took traditional women's jobs as public school teaching,nursing,and secretarial work.
C: These roles were firmly fixed for most people,and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles.
D: But its influence spread to many parts of American society.
E: The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals.
F: A great many jobs that used to belong to men are now taken by women.答案：B解析：空格46后面的句子中出现了一个比较级“less firmly"，这说明空格中也应有这样一个副词。从句意上看，空格后面的句子以转折词but引导，说明该句与空格中的句子成转折关系。综合考虑，本题选C。
空格47所在段落主要是在谈论20世纪50年代的“反文化”运动给传统意义下的美国男女作用对比带来的影响。选项中只有E项出现了“the movement”这个词组，所以大致圈定选项E。从上下文来看，选项E实际上是该段中所谈到的变化的总括，故选 E。
空格48后面的句子是在讲许多年轻人不愿服兵役参加越战，该句与段落中其他句子没有直接联系，这说明空格中的句子应该是承上启下的连接句。选项A中出现in addition连接上文，male role of soldier照应下文，这表明A项是合适的选项。
空格所在的段落继续谈论“反文化”运动对美国社会的影响，但从上下文来看，该段已不仅仅在说对男女角色关系的影响，所以与上段之间缺少一个连接句来照应。选项 D的意思是“它影响到美国社会的很多方面”，符合题意，故选D。
本段主要是说美国女权运动所带来的影响，妇女们大量加入劳动力大军。空格50 后面的句子以but引导，这说明两句话之间是对比关系。后者是说明妇女从事了一些以前本属于男人的工作，那么空格所在的句子也就应该是说妇女从事一些传统的工作，这就是选项B的意思，故选B。 -

Changes of Women's Role
The role of women in Britain has changed a lot in this century,______(51)in the last twenty years.The main change has been______(52)giving women greater equality with men.Up to the beginning of this century,women seem to have had______(53)rights.They could not vote and were kept at home.______(54),as far as we know,most women were happy with this situation. Today,women in Britain certainly______(55)more rights than they used to.They were ______(56)the vote in 1919._________(1919.)
In 1970 a law was passed to give them an equal______(57)of wealth in the case of divorce,______(58)the Equal Pay Act gave them the right of equal pay
with men for work of equal value in the same year.
Yet______(59)these changes,there are still great difference in status between men and women.Many employers seem to______(60)the Equal Pay Act,and the average working women is______(61)to earn only about half that a man earns for the same job.______(62) a survey,at present,only one-third of the country's workers are______(63)women.This small percentage is partly______(64)a shortage of nurseries.If there were______(65)nurseries, twice as many women might well go out to work._________(52)
A:towards
B:against
C:upon
D:through答案：A解析：本句是递进关系，强调本世纪的后20年，所以选B。 certainly意为“必然地”;apparently意为“明显地”;practically意为“实际上”。
towards表示变化的倾向，意为“朝······方向发展”。
上文提到本世纪的主要变化是女性享有更多与男性同样的权利。因此可以推断本世纪初与现在相比，妇女的权利要较少。所以选B。
上一句说“妇女不能投票，被关在家里”，下一句说“据我们所知，大多数妇女很高兴这样”，这显然是转折关系，所以选C。
由上文推断本句的意思应该是“英国妇女当然比过去享有更多的权利”,所以选B。 lack是“缺少”的意思；occupy是“占据”的意思。
give意为“给予”;deprive意为“剥夺”;deny意为“否认，拒绝”;approve意为“批准，通过”。由上文妇女获得权利可以推断本句的意思是“1919年，妇女被给予投票权”。因此选A。
share是“分享，共享”的意思，本句的意思是离婚时，给予妇女同样份额的财产，即夫妻分享财产。所以选D。
上一句说“1970年，法律规定在离婚时给予妇女同样份额的财产”，下一句说“同年的《同酬法案》给予妇女同工同酬的权利”，两项法律都是给予妇女权利，是并列关系，所以用表示并列关系的连词and。
because of意为“因为，由于”;instead of意为“而不是······”;in spite of意为“不管，虽然”;as a result of意为“作为······的结果”。本句的意思是“虽然有这些改变，女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别”，表示让步关系，所以应选C。
由上文可以推断虽然有法律规定，但是女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别，工资的差别就是其中之一，这是由于许多雇主忽视《同酬法案》，所以选C。
sb.be likely to do sth.表示可能性，意为“某人很可能做某事”，本句的意思是“做同样的工作，女性可能平均只赚男性的一半”。
according to sth．意为“根据某事”;apart from/in addition to sth.意为“除了某事”;according to a survey是“根据调查结果”的意思。
by mistake意为“错误地”;by accident意为“偶然”;in turn意为“依次，轮流”;in fact意为“事实上”。比较选项只能选D，本句的意思是：“根据一份调查，事实上，现在全国只有1/3的工人是女性。”
stem from是“来自，源于”的意思，相当于result from，本句的意思是“这么小的比例部分是由于缺乏幼儿园。”A result in B是“A导致B”的意思。
上一句提到妇女不参加工作是由于缺乏幼儿园，所以此句应为如果有足够的幼儿园。 -

第9题：
Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills ) , while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline ( 衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline．Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g．"object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter were typically dominated by women.
Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average．And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.
The author aims to tell us that__________ .A.women's minds perform better than men's
B.men's minds decline more with age
C.everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older
D.a survey on human's mind decline was done recently答案：B解析：根据文章开头…but men’s minds decline more than women’s…可知本题答案为B。 -
第10题：
单选题One of the main goals of the modern woman’s liberation movement, which started in the early 1960s, was to _____ sex discrimination in the workforce, and to open up careers for women that were previously reserved for men.Aabolish
Beliminate
Cdiminish
Dextinguish
正确答案： A解析：
句意：发起于20世纪60年代早期的现代妇女解放运动的主要目的之一就是消除对劳动力的性别歧视，而且向妇女们开放那些原来属于男性的工作。妇女运动的一个主要目的应该“消除”性别歧视。eliminate彻底消除，消灭，后面可接某些表示现象、意识形态等的抽象名词，因此B为正确答案。abolish废除，取消，通常指废除或取消某种制度或法律、法规，但性别歧视不是制度或法律条文，而是一种意识形态，所以不能和abolish搭配使用。diminish使变少，变小，表示程度或数量上的减轻或减少。extinguish消失，通常指使火熄灭或使希望、热情等消亡。 -

第18题：
Text 1 While still catching up to men in some spheres of modern life,women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category.“Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,”according to Dr.Yehuda,chief psychiatrist at New York’s Veteran’s Administration Hospital.Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response,causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions.In several of the studies,when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries（the female reproductive organs）removed,their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals,are her increased“opportunities”for stress.“It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well.It’s just that they have so much more to cope with,”says Dr.Yehuda.“Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men’s,”she observes,“it’s just that they’re dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.”Dr.Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes.“I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature.Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress.Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence.The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations,by,unfortunately,parents or other family members,and they tend not to be one-shot deals.The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son,but was determined to finish college.“I struggled a lot to get the college degree.I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape,to go to school,and get ahead and do better.”Later,her marriage ended and she became a single mother.“It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager,have a job,pay the rent,pay the car payment,and pay the debt.I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes.But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations,with few breaks,and feeling the strain.Alvarez’s experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.21.Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?A.Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.
B.Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.
C.Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress.
D.Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.答案：A解析：文章第一段提到，在一个不太好的方面（undesirable category），女性似乎遥遥领先，接着通过引用医师耶胡达的话指出，这种领先是指“女性面临压力更容易患病”。在第二段指出，性激素影响压力的反应，使得雌性在承受压力时分泌更多触发不良反应的化学物质。两段结合，说明“女性在面临压力时容易患病的原因”。more vulnerable to stress和biologically分别与文中的susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorde -
