题型描述: 阅读理解Four decades ago, traditional women’s magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle talked to women as though they were children who needed to learn the basics of how to care for their families. Today, magazines do not do this. However, they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking and motherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and please husbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that show women in a range of roles and that cover a much wider range of topics. Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older men who smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfully about their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap to wash their husband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about the way they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it is still quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressed in sexy clothes to sell cars or other products. One study also found that the changes are mainly on nighttime television, with daytime commercials still tending to portray women doing household chores. Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passive girlfriends of powerful, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different. Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to support themselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there. Even when women are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that they should be sexy as well.1、 The best title for this passage is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. Womenˊs Magazines and Televisions B. Influence of Mass Media in Our Lives C. Different Types of Media D. Gender Roles in the Media 2、 What makes Ms. different from other womenˊs magazines? A. Ms. treats women as adults who need to learn about being a mother. B. Ms. is the type of women’s magazines that dominates now. C. Ms. offers women tips of caring for their families. D. Ms. is interested in a wider range of women’s role. 3、 It can be inferred that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ might be a new type of women image on the television commercials. A. guilty wives who don’t use the right soap B. career women who enjoys her career success C. young beautiful women dressed in sexy clothes D. happy mothers doing the household chores 4、 From the context we know “to stereotype women” (Line 1, Paragraph 4) refers to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. to tag on women some fixed roles and images B. to portray women as successful professionals C. to depict women as successful and able to support themse D. to portray women in some different ways 5、 Which of the following statement do you think the writer would least agree with in terms of the media’s attitude towards women? A. The mass media focuses womenˊs roles in life as a mother more than as a professional. B. The limited images of women mass media presented to the audience through mass media have influenced the way the audience think and behave. C. The mass media always presents to us a variety of women images as they are in daily life. D. The way mass media define women has changed as time goes by.

题型描述: 阅读理解There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals.

They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become dis?couraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more.

题型描述: 阅读理解Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modem countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, manual work is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.1、 The writer of the passage thinks that _ _ _ _ _ . A. not all of the social problems can be solved by education B. education can resolve most of the problems in the world. C. free education won’t help solve problems D. free education for all will probably lead us to a perfect world 2、 The writer wants to prove that _ _ _ _ _ . A. our society needs free education for all B. our society needs all kinds of jobs C. working with hands is more important than anything else D. a farmer is more important than a professor 3、 According to the passage . A. we canˊt regard manual work as lowD B. manual work is dirty and shameful C. manual work is the most important D. manual work is considered low 4、 The purpose of education is _ _ _ _ _ . A. to build a perfect world B. to prepare children mainly for their future work C. to allow everyone to receive education that fits him/her D. to choose officials for the country 5、 The passage tells us about _ _ _ _ _ of the education. A. the value B. the type C. the system D. the means

题型描述: 阅读理解How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented cer?tain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communi?cate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and associa?tion can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.1、 The origin of language is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. a question difficult to answer B. a legend handed down from the past C. a matter that is hidden or secret D. a problem not yet solved 2、 What is true about words? A. They can not be written down. B. They are simply sounds. C. They are mysterious. D. They are used to express feelings only. 3、 The real power of words lies in their _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. representative function B. characteristics C. properties D. peculiarity 4、 By "association", the author means _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. a joining of ideas in the mind B. a special quality C. an appearance which is puzzling D. a strange feature 5、 Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? A. His style is always charming. B. He is no more than a master of words. C. He can move men to tears. D. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.
