Step Back in Time Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us?One hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45 .But now,she can live until at least 80. One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after ourselves better. We know which foods are good for US and what we have to eat to make sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and what to do to get better a-gain .And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep our hearts beating healthily. But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits,let's have a look at what life was like 100 years ago. Families had between 15 and 20 children,although many babies didn't live long. Children suffered from lots of diseases, especially rickets (佝偻病)and scurvy(坏血病),which are both caused by bad diets.This is because many families were very poor and not able to feed their chil-dren well.

Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us?One
hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45.But now,she can live until at least 80.
One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after
ourselves better. We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make
sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and
what to do to get better again.And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to
keep our hearts beating healthily.
But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits,let's have a look at what life was
like 100 years ago.
Families had between 15 and 20 children,although many babies didn't live long.
Children suffered from lots of diseases , especially rickets(佝偻病)and scurvy(坏血病),
which are both caused by bad diets.This is because many families were very poor and not
able to feed their children well.
Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept
standing up,bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.
People didn't have fridges until the 1 920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on

Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are two passages iⅡthis part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice.

Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:

Passage One

The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them.

The reality is very different.Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men.

They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider.And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children.

All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite.

The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories.It is a sort of work women do.Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them.

Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there?

Yet some of those jobs are really important.Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start.

So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women.

This is not going to be put right overnight. But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.

It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens.

Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men( ).

A. after 25 years

B. according to the law

C. as a result of the Equal Pay Act

D. because women are as strong as men


正确答案:B
B[解析]根据the Equal Pay Act应该做到男女平等,C选项错在并不是因为the Equal Pay Act的结果。所以答案选B。

第10题:

Women are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985,Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting(轰动 )the University of Texas System administration for not encouraging women.The University was rated认为 among the lowest for the system.In a 1987 update ,Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement.
One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs.
College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon,said it is important that woman be flexible when it comesto relocating if they want to rise in the ranks.
Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus , many times in order for her to succeed , she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work.
Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia,inequities will exist存在.
"Women need to spend their energies(精力energy) and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University." Spirduso said. "If they do that will be successful in this system.If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time."
One of the positive results from Milburn's study was that ___.

a.women were told to con centrate on teir work
b.women were given information about available administrative jobs
c.women were encouraged to take on all the administrative jobs in the Unversity
d.women were encouraged to do more scholarly activities

答案:B
