　　Sociologists（社会学家）, working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60％ in Germany.
　　"Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men"s world. " said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study.
　　Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won"t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children.
　　Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances.
　　Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in "Women"s Liberation", "I don"t wish I were a man," she says, "and I don"t think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men—usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there…or engineers?"
小题1:Many men think ______.

A．women can"t do what men can

B．men have to work much harder than women

C．men can make money more easily than women

D．women"s duty is mainly to do housework at home

　小题2:Some women have different ideas. They say that ______.

A．women need chances to go out of the home more often

B．women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want

C．if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men

D．women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes

　　　小题3:Anne Harper thought that ______.

A．women should live a better life than men

B．women should be really liberated

C．women should be given better jobs than men

D．women should live a more wonderful life than men

答案

　
小题1:D
小题2:B
小题3:B

解析

小题1:这是一道概括主旨的题，答此题的依据是第三段内容。该段开头两句说的是男子任务重，那么不言而喻，家务活和教育子女的任务应由妇女承担；另有一些男士则公开反对妇女外出工作。可见，不少男士认为妇女的主要职责是在家料理家务。
小题2:一些妇女持不同观点，文中第四段反映了她们的意见。这也正是文章的中心思想和作者的写作意图：争取人权平等，妇女自由，男女平等。
小题3:安妮·哈珀不希望自己是男士，但她希望社会像对待男人一样对待她。她的想法也正是作者的意图。如最后一段写道：She also believes in “Women"s Liberation.”然后她又列举了许多事实，其立意还是为了说明这一正确论点。

举一反三

　　Forests have always been useful and important to man who makes use of them in many ways. Every day trees are serving man everywhere. Trees supply man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on. Furniture such as desks, chairs and beds is made of wood. Trees can stop man from terrible heat. They"re also useful in preventing good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains.
　　If there were no trees, heavy rains would wash away the rich top soil that is so important to plants. The result is that the land will become a desert. There are plenty of desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas used to be very rich areas, but man in the past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, they cut down too many trees in the area where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by the rich top soil was blown and washed away by strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.
小题1:According to the passage, ______.

A．a long time ago, man didn"t know how to make use of wood

B．trees are not as useful as they were in the past

C．trees were more found in the past than they are today

D．people have always found trees useful

　　小题2:If there were no trees, ______.

A．the land would become better	B．heavy rains would be very clean
C．the rich soil couldn"t be kept	D．there wouldn"t be any plants

　小题3:From the passage, we know that man must ______.

A．do nothing to keep the balance（平衡）of nature

B．take his best to keep the balance of nature

C．try his best to keep the balance of nature

D．do his best to stop the balance of nature

Indians Refuse Higher Education
On June 17,1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations． The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College． In letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:
We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you． We are certain that you mean to do us good by your suggestion; and we thank you heartily． But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be displeased if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours． We have had some experience of it． Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces:
They were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad manners, and they knew little of every means of living in the woods．．． they were totally good for nothing．
We are, however, not the less obliged for your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them．

DNA ( Deoxyribonucleic acid ) is one of the most important discoveries in science. DNA is the plan for the human being , as a blueprint is the plan for building. DNA makes a person look the way he does. A person"s DNA. comes from a mixing of his parents" DNA. That"s why a child looks like his parents. But, besides controlling things such as height and hair color, DNA can also give people diseases , Scientists are now studying DNA to cure diseases.
In the seventies, scientists developed a process called recombinant (重新组合) or RDNA. Although it sounds difficult to understand, RDNA simply means taking DNA from one animal or plant and putting it into another. By doing so, scientists can create new beings. In so doing, scientists can better understand DNA, especially what parts of DNA do . After they understand DNA, scientists can begin to cure diseases. Often, the new being created will itself be the cure.

Besides curing diseases, RDNA research can also do other things. For example, scientists in Japan have already created “super-trees”. Trees help humans, because they take CO₂, which poisons humans, from the air and turns it into oxygen, which lets humans breathe. “Super-trees” do this too, but do if much faster. As things such as cars and factories have already put much CO₂ in the area, “super-trees” are badly needed.
Unfortunately, there is serious danger in RDNA research. Scientists want to create animals to cure old diseases, but these new animals may also create new diseases. It will be a serious problem if the animals escape from the science laboratory and into nature. As these animals are not natural, they may let loose many new powerful diseases.
As a result, RDNA research will create many solutions (解决方案), but it will also create many problems.
67. From the passage, we can know that a boy looks like his parents because________
A. he is son of his parents
B. his parents" DNA decides his appearance
C. he has received DNA from his father or his mother
D. scientists have put some of his parents" DNA into him
68. What does the underlined expression “let loose” probably mean?
A. let... go free B. get rid of C. absorb D. survive
69. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The DNA Research in Japan
B. A New Way of DNA Research in Japan
C. The Causes and Effects of DNA Research
D. The Advantages And Disadvantages of RDNA
70. The following statements are true about RDNA research EXCEPT_____.
A. the research has been stopped because the created animals carry virus
B. “super-trees” might be widely planted around the world
C. scientists have not completely understood DNA
D. RDNA research will benefit human beings a lot
