Susan Brownw ell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women’s rights long before it became a popular issue.

Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.

At the age of 15, Susan became a school teacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.

After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the wome n’s suffrage movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyo ming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming’s decision. It was not until 1920 that the U.S. Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights.

Susan Brownwell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness (肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the T979 Susan Brownwell Anthony dollar.

21. What was the situation of American women like when Susan was born?

A. They had a low social status.

B. They could vote after getting married.

C. They managed money for their husbands.

D. They were responsible for decision-making.

22. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A. Susan’s teaching experiences.

B. Susan’s educational background.

C. Susan’s ef forts to abolish slavery.

D. Susan’s fighting for women’s causes.

23. What may be the best title for the text?

B. The problem of women’s rights in the US.

C. The most popular women organizations.

D. A pioneer in fighting for women’s rights.

B

Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.

Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.

The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter rules by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.

24. The text mainly discusses the relationship between ________.

A. heart problems and air quality

B. heart problems and exercising

C. heart problems and smoking

D. heart problems and fatty food

25. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.

A. relatively high

B. extremely low

C. relatively low

D. extremely high

26. What can we learn from the text?

A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.

B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.

C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,

D. Stricter rules on pollutants should be made.

27. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to ________.

A. inform

B. persuade

C. describe

D. entertain

C

Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.

A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate(循环). This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out(持续很久的) increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, plan to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed.

Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.

So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.

28.What can we learn about crossing one's legs?

A.It is a very bad social habit.

B. It is usually practiced deliberately(故意地).

C.It can do harm to people's health.

D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.

29. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can______.

A. affect your blood pressure

B.resist gravity effectively

C. lead to heart attacks easily

D. improve the function of legs

30. In the third paragraph "pins and needles" probably means “______”.

A. slight sharp pains

B. being a little nervous

C. serious muscle injuries

D.being highly flexible

31. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To compare common habits.

B. To give readers some advice.

C. To evaluate effects of an experiment.

D.To introduce research methods.

D

Bees play a vital role in the world. Unfortunately, bees are dying by the second.

The main purpose of bees is to make honey. Honey, shockingly, does not exist for human consumption(消费), it is essential to the insects. Honeybees store honey in their hives (蜂巢) in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hive during the winter period. They collect pollen (花粉) which supplies protein for young bees to grow.

According to National Honey Board, the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honey bee pollination(授粉) are valued at more than $14.6 billion per year. These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today, including apples, grapes, coffee, beans, and broccoli.

So if they are so valuable to agriculture, why do they keep dying off? A key suspect seems to be pesticides (农药). Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the damage to their neurological (神经的) functions, specifically memory or behavior. And that's why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. There are several other causes to the decline of bees, including the destruction of natural habitat, like woodlands, forests, and other habitats for bees. Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bee population.

Actually, there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow. One way is to start your own organic garden by planting bee-friendly plants. Pesticides are used in both industrial practices and even in your home, so it is best to find organic seeds and weed killers.

32. Why do honeybees store honey in their hives?

A. To provide enough honey for human to consume.

B. To draw protein out of honey for young bees.

C. To help attract other insects and make hives stronger.

D. To strengthen bee muscles and heat hives in winter.

33. Apples and beans are mentioned in the third paragraph to show that _.

A. bees supply human beings with basic food.

B. bees mainly live on these agricultural crops.

C. bees are of great importance to fruits and vegetables.

D. bees can bring in more money for farmers every year.

34. What is most likely to cause the worker bees to leave their hives behind?

A. The lack of food.

B. The overuse of pesticides.

C. The fighting among bees.

D. The destruction of the habitats.

35. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. Another way to save bees.

B. Other tips for choosing seeds.

C. More methods to plant green organic fruits.

D. Causes of the decline in the wild bee population.

Two hundred years after Charles Darwin’s birth, studies have found new details of his life at the University of Cambridge. Six leather-bound ledgers (皮革账本) discovered in the university show this. 36

He lived in the most expensive rooms provided for a rich student at his time. 37 He had someone to clean his room, make his bed and take care of the fire in his bright rooms. He hired a dishwasher, a clothes washer and a man who cleaned his shoes. A tailor (裁缝), hatter and barber made sure he was well presented. A chimney cleaner and a coalman kept his fire going. Christ’s College’s basic food was meat and beer. 38

Darwin’s bill topped 636 pounds during his three years of study at Cambridge. Later he described this time as the most joyful of his happy life. That large sum (金额) would have been fairly common for a student at Cambridge in the 19th century. 39 In those days Cambridge was full of rich students living a pretty good life and Darwin was just one of them. 40 And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study. He would be out shooting, collecting beetles, doing his scientific hobbies or visiting friends. He played cards and drank wine at night, just like students always have.

A. Thanks to the richness, he was able to hire servants to help with the daily life.

B. The findings were published on the Internet.

C. So he paid five and a half pence extra each day to have vegetables.

D. He enjoyed the kind of comfortable university life that most of today’s students can only dream about.

E. He had several people to help him to deal with the daily housework.

F. When you look at the ledgers, you can find there were many rich students in Cambridge.

G. The bills were paid by his wealthy father, Robert Darwin, a doctor.
