Women in business were unheard of. No respectable woman would dream of entering what was strictly a "man's world". Even if she would, what could she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job well outside her home. This was a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bronte sisters began writing books in 1846, they had to resort to using men's names as aliases. (化名)Teaching was the first profession opened to women, soon after 1800. But even that was not easy for women to take because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to take in women.Nursing was regarded as a respectable profession for women only after Florence Nightingale won high credit for her nursing career and became famous. Miss Nightingale opened the first training school for nursing in 1860 in England.The invention of typewriters in 1867 helped to bring women out of their homes to join the business world. Because women are careful and have nimble fingers, businessmen found that they were well suited to this kind of work.By 1890, tens of thousands of women were working in schools, hospitals, shops, offices, and factories both in England and the States. Some even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea of women working in business and other circles was accepted.51、The home was regarded as a woman’s only place_________.A.when the Bronte sisters began writing books.B.at the turn of the 19th century.C.before the typewriter was invented.D.in the late 180052、Oberlin College was the fist college in America ____________.A.where girls could get advanced education.B.to train women to be teachers and nurses.C.to accept women only as a professors and students.D.where teaching was a profession only open to women.53、Quite a lot of women entered the business world.___________.A．at the beginning of the 20th century.B．a fter the typewriter came into use.C．soon after 1800.D．when Nightingale became famous.54、What is the best title for this passage.A.Typing is the best profession for women.B.Women are good at nursing.C.How women joined the outside world.D.What happened in the business world.B is the UK’s biggest and best online guide to the performing arts including theatre, opera, classical music, dance and so on.◆The Lion KingMusical: The stage adaptation of the Disney film taken from an original African story.

On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine's Day in 2002, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants."I'm 15 minutes older than him, but now I'm younger because of my heart and I'm not going to respect him," Alfred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters. who laughed frequently at their jokes.While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. "We'd put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly."The discussion moved to Anthony's recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication, but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery."Right now I feel pretty young and I'm doing very well," Anthony said. "I feel like a new person."Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, "I love my brother very much. We're very close and I'm sure we'll do just fine."58、What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?A. lifespanB. Love for bicycling.C. A sense of humorD. Career goals.59、What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?A. DietB. SurgeryC. Medicines.D. Exercise.60、Why did Alfred say, “I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart”?A.His exercise program was better than Anthony’sB.His new heart was younger than Anth ony’sC.His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony’sD.His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony’s61、This article is mainly about ___________________.A.the twin brothers who received heart transplants.B.The danger of heart transplant surgery.C.Becoming young by getting a new heart.D.The effect of genetics on the heart.DSometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language" of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder, some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug(拥抱).Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say,” Pardon me." or "Excuse me.” Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite.For Americans, thumbs-up; means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are singing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的).If youdon't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.62、The passage is mainly to say that __________________.A.gestures don’t mean anything while talking.B.We can learn a language well without body language.C.Gestures can help us to express ourselves.D.Only American people can use gestures.63、If you are introduced to a stranger from the US, you should _________A. shake his hand weakly.B. greet him with a hug.C. shake his hand firmly.D. place a hand on his shoulder.64、According to the passage which is TRUE in the US?A.people should say “pardon me” to each other when they are talking.B.People should show their friendship by touching each other.C.People should show their friendship by facing each other directly.D.People would get uncomfortable if you stand too close to them.65、When your American friend gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact, ___________.A.shows his anger to you.B.expresses his satisfaction to you.C.expresses his worries about you.D.shows his rudeness to you.五、单词拼写(共10分)1． His _____________(成就)earned respect and admiration for him.2.
