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5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.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A.Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.
B.Women stand out at remembering people's names.
C.Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.
D.Women excel at dealing mathematic problems.答案：B解析：根据第二段Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images，while women tend to excel(擅长)at recalling information from their brain’s files．可推出答案为B。 -

第7题：
What could be the most appropriate title for the passage？( )A.Cyber Crime and Its Prevention
B.The Origin of Cyber Crime
C.How to Deal with Cyber Crime
D.The Definition of Cyber Crime答案：A解析：主旨题。本文第一、二段简要地描述了“网络空间”一词的起源并概述了互联网的发展，第三、四段主要讲述互联网的潜在风险，五至八段讲如何抵御风险。A项能较好地概括，其余三项都只描述了其中一个方面。因此A项作为文章标题更加恰当。故本题选A。参考译文：“网络空间”一词是由科幻作家威廉·吉布森提出的。1982年，他第一次在短篇小说中使用该词，几年后，在小说《神经漫游者》中，吉布森对其进行了扩展，小说的主角亨利·多塞特·凯斯是一名陷入困境的电脑黑客和吸毒者。吉布森在书中将网络空间描述为“数十亿合法运营商每天都在经历的交感的幻觉”，以及“从人类系统中每台计算机的数据库中提取的数据的图形展示”。事实证明，他的文学创作非常有先见之明。网络空间已经成为计算设备、网络、光纤电缆、无线连接和其他基础设施的象征，它们为全球数十亿人带来了互联网。这些技术形成的无数联系为所有每日使用网络来挖掘人类集体知识宝库的人带来了巨大好处。但是这项非凡的发明也有不好的一面。数据泄露变得越来越广泛，越来越普遍。去年，由于网络遭到攻击，超过8亿条记录丢失。最近最突出的受害者之一是美国大型零售商塔吉特百货，其首席执行官格雷戈·斯坦哈夫尔在披露黑客窃取了数百万客户的网络数据的几个月后，于5月辞职。这些数据包括信用卡和借记卡的详细信息。其他知名公司，如技术公司奥多比和在线市场易趣，也受到了冲击。然而，潜在的危害远不止这种商业入侵。美国国家安全局(NSA)承包商爱德华斯诺登(Edward Snowden)对西方情报机构大规模曝光监控录像，越来越多视网络空间为新战争领域的国家招募“互联网斗士”，引发了更广泛的担忧。保护网络空间是一件很难的事，因为互联网的架构是为了促进联通，而不是安全。发明互联网的人只考虑过可行性，并未考虑其可能受到的风险，因为它隶属美国军方。随着黑客的出现，人类从安装防毒软件到设置防火墙，想尽了办法试图阻止它们。总的来说，这些防御措施相当有效。尽管人们一直在谈论“网络9·11”风险，但事实证明，互联网具有很强的恢复力。数亿人每天打开电脑，进行网上交易，逛虚拟商店，在社交网络上与朋友交换八卦和照片，并在网上发送各种敏感数据，却不会产生不良影响。公司和政府正在转移越来越多的在线服务。但是任务变得越来越难了。涉及保护数据和人员的网络安全面临多重威胁，尤其是在网络犯罪和在线工业间谍活动方面。有很多方法可以让我们更加安全，一是确保组织获得网络安全的基础知识。很多情况往往是由简单的失误造成的，例如未能将包含敏感数据的系统与无需访问它们的系统分开。公司还需要更好地预测攻击可能来自哪里，并快速调整防御机制以应对新的威胁。技术也可以有所帮助，允许企业相互分享风险情报的行业举措也有所帮助。不仅如此，还需要采取激励措施加强网络安全。一种方法是鼓励互联网服务提供商或管理互联网连接的公司承担更多的责任来识别和帮助清理被恶意软件感染的计算机。另一种是找到方法，确保软件开发人员写出的代码缺陷更少，这样黑客可利用的安全漏洞就会更少。 -

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。 -

第17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.
