2、te a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school an

3、d my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed

4、son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one ch

5、oice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit. But I knew I should set an example for them to follo

6、w through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in

11、的A,B,C或D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 For many of us, aspirin, one of the most common nonprescription drugs, is a constant companion. It is the most effective drug that we have, and if we eliminated all but three drugs, aspirin would definitely be one of the three drugs we should keep. Even with all the new drugs

12、available, it still has a place in many of our medicine cabinets, as a “miracle drug” in its ability to fight pain and inflammation (炎癥) and even more amazing in its ability to reduce heart attack and stroke risk. Aspirin is the first member of a class of substances called non-steroidal anti-infla

13、mmatory drugs (NSAIDs非甾體抗炎藥). These drugs reduce pain, fever and inflammation, and are used to treat a variety of conditions. Many believe that aspirin has many benefits not yet fully understood. Media reports on the use of aspirin to prevent or treat diseases such as heart attacks and cancer leave

14、many people struggling to keep all the facts straight. Others who cannot tolerate aspirin might feel a bit left out as new uses and benefits of aspirin continue to appear in the news. In all cases, more researches are needed to determine what benefits aspirin may provide and whether these benefits

15、 would outweigh the potential side effects. Aspirin, for example, is known to cause gastrointestinal (胃腸的) bleeding with heavy use, and there is research that indicates an increased risk of bleeding-related stroke in people who use it regularly. In some cases, these reactions can be killers. Another

20、hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents

21、 arriving next month. Last year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so it's a win-win situation all around.” They are among the growing number of Americans who,

22、 driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(經(jīng)濟), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home.

23、Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list. George C．Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five yea

24、rs. Mr.Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now

25、driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden. 本文講述了由于生活費用增高，加上經(jīng)濟下降，越來越多的人開始自己種菜，并且現(xiàn)在人們開車少了，旅游少了，有更多的時間來種菜，減少生活費用。 1. What does the underlined word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to? A．chickens B．tomatoes C．gardens D．people 答案：A。詞義猜測題。由上文的a chicken house(雞舍)

26、可知，它的居民應(yīng)該是小雞，故A項正確。 2．Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular? A．More Americans are doing it for fun. B．The price of oil is lower than before. C．There's a growing need for fruits. D．The cost of living is on the rise. 答案：D。細節(jié)理解題。由短文第二段第一句話可知，由于生活費增高，經(jīng)濟下降，越來越多的人們開始自己種菜。故D項正確。 3．W

27、hich of the following might be the best title for the text? A．Family Food Planning B．Banking on Gardening C．A Belt-tightening Move D．Gardening as a Hobby 答案：B。主旨大意題。本文主要講述了由于生活費用增高，經(jīng)濟下降，迫使人們自己種菜來減少開支。A項意為：家庭食物計劃；B項：依靠種菜；C項：緊縮腰帶運動；D項：把種菜當做愛好。 It is not often realized that women held a high p

28、lace in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妝). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much m

29、ore important. The dowry was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to with hold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husb

30、and. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife. The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands

31、who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in drag

32、ging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to wi

33、n herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position. 51.Originally, the purpose of a dowry is to_________. A give a woman the right to receive all her husband’s property B help a woman to enjoy a higher position in the family C protect a woman against the risk of dese

34、rtion D both A and C 52.According to the passage, the legal status of the wife in marriage was__________. A higher than that of a single woman B higher than that of her husband C lower than that of her husband D the same as that of her husband 53. Why does the author give us the

35、 example of Maria Vivas? A To show that the wife shared in the management of her husbands personal property. B To show that the wife can defend her own inheritance. C To prove that women have powerful position. D To illustrate how women win her property. 54.The compensation Maria Viv

36、as got for the field is____________. A some of the land Miro had inherited B a tenth of Miro’s land C money for household expenses D money form Miro’s inheritance 55. The author’s attitude towards Maria Vivas is_____________. A sympathetic B disapproval C indifferent

37、D objective 【參考答案】Passage1 歐洲南部的婦女在10和11世紀時享有較高的社會地位，這并未獲得廣泛認識。作為一個妻子，女性的地位受到其嫁妝的保護。誠然，嫁妝最初的目的是防止女性被拋棄;但是，它在當時家庭和社會現(xiàn)實生活中起著更重要的作用。妻子的嫁妝使她有權(quán)獲得其丈夫十分之一的財物。妻子有權(quán)利拒絕丈夫所做的任何交易，但這不僅僅只是一項權(quán)利而已;文件表明她與丈夫一樣平等地享有真正的決定權(quán)。文件沒有表明丈夫和妻子在法律地位上有任何差別。 妻子享有管理丈夫私人財產(chǎn)的權(quán)利，但是反之則不然。如果丈夫要越權(quán)侵犯她們的利益，女性們會時刻準備著捍衛(wèi)自己的利益，有時她們還會表現(xiàn)出

38、一種堅強的斗爭精神。Maria Vivas就是一個典型的例子。為了家庭的需要，她同意其丈夫Miro出售一塊屬于她的土地，但是她堅持要求獲得補償。但是丈夫沒有給她提供補償，于是她把丈夫拖到一個文書處，起草了一份合同，成功地把他丈夫的一塊私人土地劃歸自己。正如合同所寫的，“為了和平”，這個不幸的丈夫不得不同意。要么借助嫁妝，要么通過發(fā)脾氣，妻子知道如何在家庭中為自己贏得強大的經(jīng)濟地位。 51. 【解析】[C 推斷題。本文介紹了歐洲南部10和11世紀嫁妝對女性在婚姻中地位的重要性。雖然嫁妝最初的目的是防止女性被拋棄，但實際上它的作用遠遠不止于此。它使妻子在婚姻中的地位與丈夫平等，并保障了妻子的

39、經(jīng)濟利益。女性在維護自己的利益上，是很堅定果敢的，Maria Vivas就是一個例子。見第一段第三句，“Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion...”，雖然在實際生活中嫁妝有更重要的作用，但最初它的作用只是為了防范女性被丈夫拋棄，所以C為正確答案。 52.【解析】[D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)本文，妻子在婚姻中的法律地位和丈夫是平等的。見第一段最后一句，“In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference i

40、n the legal status of husband and wife”文件中并沒有表明丈夫和妻子在法律地位上有任何的差別，也就是說他們的地位是平等的，所以D為正確答案。 53.【解析】[B 推斷題。作者舉Maria Vivas的事例，是為了說明妻子是能夠捍衛(wèi)自己的利益的。見第二段第二句，“Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance...they showed a fine fighting spirit.”如果丈夫要侵占自己的利益，女性們就時刻準備著捍衛(wèi)自己的利益，有時她們還表現(xiàn)出很強的斗爭精神。

41、接下來作者就舉了Maria Vivas的例子，說明女性是有能力捍衛(wèi)自己的利益的。所以B為正確答案。 54.【解析】[A 細節(jié)題。Maria Vivas得到的一份作為補償?shù)耐恋?，本來是屬于Miro的個人財產(chǎn)。見第二段第五句，“None being offered, she succeeded in... assigning her a piece of land from Miros personal inheritance”由此知A為正確答案。 55.【解析】[D 推斷題。作者對Maria Vivas所持的態(tài)度是客觀的。作者客觀地介紹了Maria Vivas的事例，并沒有表示出同情、不滿或者是漠不關(guān)心，所以A、B、C都是錯誤答案。
