第3题：

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.

All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.

The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.

A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal,

“I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered.

“Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together. ”

Her husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.

The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.

“I'll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages in fact. As she started, reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Nothing,” the husband replied, “keep reading your list.”

The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.

“Now，you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists, ” she said happily.

Quietly the husband stated, “I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you. ”

The wife, touched by his honesty, the depth of his love for her, and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

A、Because his wife was too perfect.

B、Because he accepted her as a whole, but she didn't.

C、Because he loved her more than she loved him.

Pop Music in Africa
Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music. The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today,such as hip-hop,rap,rock,jazz,or reggae. The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African. It is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.
Eric Wainaina is one of these African musicians.He grew up in Nairobi,Kenya,in a family of musicians.As a teenager,he listened to pop music from the United States,and later he moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. Now he has produced a CD in Kenya. Eric's most popular song,“Land of‘A Little Something’”is about Kenya's problem of bribery,or paying others for illegal favors.He wants people to listen to his songs and think about how to make Kenya a better place to live.
Another musician who writes serious songs is Witness Mwaijaga from Tanzania. Her own experiences have helped her understand the suffering of many African women. At the age of fifteen she lost her home,but she was luckier than other homeless young people. She could make a living by writing songs and singing on the street. By the time she was eighteen years old,She had become a star. Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania,especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women.
Baaba Maal,from Senegal,also feels that pop music must go beyond entertainment. He says that in Senegal,storytellers have alwaysbeen important people. In the past,they were the ones who kept the history of their people alive. Baaba believes that songwriters now have a similar responsibility. They must write about the world around them and help people understand how it could be better. The words of his songs are important,in fact.They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans,as well as the rights of women,love for one's family, and saving the environment.
One of South Africa's most popular musicians is Brenda Fassie. She is sometimes compared to Madonna,the American pop star,because she likes to shock people in her shows. But she also likes to make people think. She became famous in the 1980s for her simple pop songs against apartheid. Now that apartheid has ended,her songs are about other issues in South African culture and life. To sing about these,she uses local African languages and a new pop style called kwaito.
In recent years,people outside of Africa have also begun to listen to these young musici-ans. Through music,the younger generation of Africans are connecting with the rest of the world and,at the same time,influencing the rest of the world.

This passage is about how African pop music is______.
A:.usually about love and romance
B: more serious than most pop music
C: popular with young people in Africa
D: mostly written just for entertainment

答案：B

解析：

题干意为“非洲流行音乐的不同之处……”。该题为细节题，利用题干及备选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，因为备选项中出现了大量修饰词，所以在查找相关句的过程中同时关注这些修饰词：usually, more serious, most(pop music), mostly。这样在第一段中找到相关句：Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop mu-sic .The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular（与popular music呼应）today, such as hip-hop, rap, rock, jazz, or reggae. The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African. It（指上文中提到的African pop music) is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“这种音乐（指非洲流行音乐）在另一方面也有所不同：很多音乐有着严肃的主题，与当今非洲重要的社会问题和政治问题相关”，由此可知非洲流行音乐比一般的流行音乐更严肃，因此答案为B。A项“通常主题涉及爱和浪漫”和D项“大部分是作为娱乐音乐”与短文内容不一致：短文说非洲流行音乐主题严肃。C 项“在非洲的年青人中受欢迎”是短文中未提及的信息。
题干意为“对于非洲以外的人来说，非洲流行音乐给他们的感觉是……”。该题为细节题，利用题干及备选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，因为备选项中出现了大量修饰词，所以在查找相关句的过程中同时关注这些修饰词：same, usually, interesting, entirely strange, familiar, different。这样在第一段中找到相关句：Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music（与题干中的African pop music呼应）.The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today,such as hip-hop,rap,rock,jazz,or reggae. The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African. It is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today．相关句（带下划线的句子）说“这样就使这种音乐（非洲流行音乐）让世界各地的听者都觉得很熟悉，而它又是典型的非洲音乐，这种音乐在另一方面也有所不同”，由此可知非洲流行音乐既让人感到熟悉，又有着不同的地方，因此答案为D项“既熟悉又不同”。

第5题：

请阅读短文，完成此题。
When I read last week that Angela Ahrendts was getting up to $68m as a welcome gift forjoining Apple, my mind skipped at once to her husband. This latest addition to her vast stash ofmoney must catapult her spouse Gregg to the very top of the global my-wife-earns-more-than-meleague table.
It is quite an achievement. I have no idea if the two of them like each other, but they havestuck it out for a long time. They met at school and he chucked his job to follow her to the UKwhen she became head of Burberry; he seems to have spent the last eight years mainly looking aftertheir three children, revamping their home and putting supper on the table for her when she finallystaggered in on her five-inch heels. I suspect the real genius of Ms Ahrendts lies less in the wayshe persuaded people to buy 22,000 raincoats with peacock feather trims than in persuadingGregg to marry her--and to stick with her ever since.
It is no longer particularly rare for women to be the main breadwinner--in the US a quarter ofwives now earn more than their husbands--but what is rarer is for such a relationship to work. A
book published last week by the journalist Farnoosh Torabi draws together data showing just howhard it is: high-earning women have difficulty finding a husband, and when they do, he is five timesas likely to be unfaithful as other husbands. The woman will probably do more than her share ofchores; though in the unusual event that he starts ironing and cooking, he is likely to end upfeeling so unmanly. Either way, divorce beckons.
If I think of my many female friends who have out-earned their husbands, a suspiciously largenumber are divorced. One friend complained that she no longer knew what her husband was for ashe neither made much money nor showed any desire to help out at home. Hardly surprisingly, hisversion of events was different: as she insisted on dominating both at work and at home, he'd beenleft un-manned and without a role.
! know of only two sets of good friends where the woman earns more and where the marriageseems solid. In one there are no children, so the two spend their spare time being nice to eachother. In the second, the man is so good at child-rearing and cooking while the woman is sohopeless around the house, so everyone seems happy.
The majority of colleagues, even very young ones, still seem to be in relationships where theman makes more. One fiercely clever young male colleague says his equally clever feministgirlfriend has told him she could never marry a man who earned less as she didn't fancy a lifespent propping up his ego.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Women look down upon men who earn less than her.

第6题：

阅读理解Betty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles old Harold.How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa, talking?

What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?

Betty shrugs.Talk? We’re friends.

Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear.Women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”.

More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(情感危机).“Most women,” says Rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives”.

“In general,” writes Rubin in her new book, “women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part, Rubin says , interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior”.

“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,” Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings.Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”

6.What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that() .

A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband

B.women have so much to share

C.women show little interest in ballgames

D.his wife is difficult to talk to

7.Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ().

A.a male friend

B.a female friend

C.her parents

D.her husband

8.According to the text, which type of behavior. is NOT expected of a man by society?()

A.Ending his marriage without good reason.

B.Spending too much time with his friends.

C.Complaining about his marriage trouble.

D.Going out to ballgames too often.

9.Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?()

A.Men keep their innermost feeling to themselves.

B.Women are more serious than men about marriage.

C.Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.

D.Women depend on others in making decisions.

10.The research done by psychologist Rubin centers on() .

A.happy and successful marriage

B.friendships of men and women

C.emotional problems in marriage

D.interactions between men and women

第7题：

A．The man may be more likely to be unfaithful than other husbands.
B．The woman will probably do more than her share of housework.
C．The man will feel that he is badly in need of manliness.
D．The wife may look down on her husband.

答案：D

解析：

根据题干中的the problem when the wife earns more than her husband可定位至第三段“how hard it is：high-earning women have difficulty finding a husband，and when they do，he is five times as likely to be unfaithful as other husbands．The woman will probably do more than her share of chores；though in the unusual event that he starts ironing and cooking，he is likely to end up feeling so unmanly．”由此可知，A、B、C都正确，而D项“女人会看不起比自己收入低的丈夫”，文章中并没有提到这一点。

第8题：

Although machines have been around for a long time and people have adapted easily to living with most of them, they haven’t yet learned how to live in harmony with the newest of these: the personal computer. This is so because the widespread use of the personal computer is a relatively new phenomenon. There was the widely publicized case of a family man who became so absorbed in his computer that he spent long hours with it. Of course, if he was spending long hours with his computer, he was spending less time with his family. And if his wife needed to see him, he was unavailable. She became so upset by this state of affairs that she delivered an ultimatum (最后通牒), declaring that unless he spent fewer hours with the machine and more with her and the family, she was going to divorce him. This issue became so serious that the couple had to go to a doctor to resolve it. The fortunate result was that the husband reduced the time he spent with the computer, and the marriage was saved. Personal computers may cause people to become isolated from one another since work can be done at home alone. In this case, there may be no need for offices, or for that matter, for any other central gathering place. Universities, or even cities, could be abandoned. Moreover, if that which is now recorded on paper is recorded in the computer instead, people will have no reason to use any paper whatsoever: no money, receipts, letters, newspapers, magazines, books, and so on. If this happens, there will be no need to go to the bank, the bookstore, or the library. Will people then be isolated in their separate homes—alone with their computers and their families, apart from fellow workers, readers, or students?

66.We can learn from the passage that the personal computer __________.

A.has been around for a long time

B.has been accepted by all people

C.is not welcome to everyone

D.is not widely used yet

67.The man’s wife was upset because __________.

A.he loved another woman

B.he wanted to divorce her

C.she didn’t have her own computer

D.he was neglecting her and the family

68.The man’s wife threatened to divorce him if __________.

A.he continued to spend long hours with the computer

B.he did not quit his job with the computer company

C.he did not spend time with her parents

D.he did not go to see the doctor with her

69.The marriage was saved __________.

A.with the help of a doctor

B.with the help of a fortune teller

C.after the wife took over the computer

D.after the husband sold the computer

70. What seems to be worrying the author as far as the computer is concerned?

A.People may become isolated from one another.

B.Offices may no longer be necessary.

C.People will no longer read books or magazines.

D.Factory workers will lose their jobs.

第10题：

Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry.
The converse of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to putting off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises.
The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife's work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible (似是而非). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family's standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family's financial and emotional stability. Psychological
factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she-can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.
Also, a major part of women's inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.
It is said in the passage that when the economy slides_________.

A. men would choose working women as their marriage partners
B. more women would get married to seek financial security
C. even working women would worry about their marriages
D. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being

答案：D

解析：

细节题。题于的the economy slides等于原文的economic downturns。文中提到经济低迷
时期人们倾向推迟婚姻，因为双方不能承担一个家庭或者担心更窘迫的日子。D符合原文意思。

Eleanor Roosevelt was the wife of America′s 32nd president,Franklin Roosevelt.She helped her husband in?many ways during his long（21）life.She also became one of the most（22）women in America.She fough
