  第二篇

  Going Her Own Way

  When she was twelve, Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life. She decided that she wanted to continue her education, Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school,though some attended private Catholic "finishing" schools. There they learned a little about music,art,needlework,and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria —or her mother. By this time,she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.

  Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school,something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time,there were two types of high schools: the "classical" schools and the "technical" schools. In the classical schools,the students followed a very traditional program of studies,with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature,and Italian literature and history1. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.

  Maria,however,wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modem than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages,mathematics,science,and accounting2.Most people — including Maria's father — believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore,they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.

  Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school,she had to win her father' sapproval. She finally did,with her mother's help,though for many years after,there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to oppose her plans,while her mother helped her.

  In 1883,at age thirteen,Maria entered the "Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti" in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modern subjects,the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding,discipline in the classroom was strict,and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.

  答案:36. Maria wanted to attend a ____.答案为C. technical high school.37. In those days, most Italian girls ___.答案为B. didn’t go to high school.38. Maria’s father probably ___.答案为B. had a traditional view about women.39. High school teachers in Italy in those days were very ___.答案为D. strict40. We can infer from this passage that __答案为D. Maria was a girl of strong will

  第三篇

  Gross National Happiness

  In the last century, new technology improved the lives of many people in many countries. However, one country resisted these changes. High in the Himalayan mountains of Asia, the kingdom of Bhutan remained separate. Its people and Buddhist(佛教)culture had not been affected for almost a thousand years. Bhutan, however, was a poor country. People died at a young age. Most of its people could not read, and they did not know much about the outside world. Then, in 1972, a new ruler named King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern, but without losing its traditions.

  King Wangchuck looked at other countries for ideas. He saw that most countries measured their progress by their Gross Natonal Product(GNP)。 The GNP measures products and money. When the number of products sold increases, people say the country is making progress. King Wangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan. He wanted to measure his country’s progress by people’s happiness. If the people’s happiness increased, the king could say that Bhutan was making progress. To decide if people were happier, he created a measure called Gross National Happiness(GNH)。

  GNH is based on certain principles that create happiness. People are happier if they have health care, education, and jobs. They are happier when they live in a healthy, protected environment. They are happier when they can keep their traditional culture and customs. Finally, people are happier when they have a good, stable government.

  Now these is some evidence of increased GNH in Bhutan. People are healthier and are living longer. More people are educated and employed. Teenty-five percent of the land has become national parks, and the country has almost no pollution. The Bhutanese continue to wear their traditional clothing and follow their ancient Buddhist customs. Bhutan has also become a democracy. In 2008, King Wangchuck gave his power to his son. Although the country still had a king, it held its first democratic elections that year. Bhutan had political parties and political candidates for the first time. Finally, Bhutan has connected to the rest of the world through television and internet.

  Bhutan is a symbol for social progress. Many countries are now interested in Bhutan’s GNH. These countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness. They want to create new policies that take care of their people, cultures, and land.

  Brazil may be the nest country to use the principles of GNH. Brazilian leaders see the principles of GNH as a source of inspiration. Brazil is a large country with a diverse population. If happiness works as a measure of progress in Brazil, perhaps the rest of the world will follow.

  41. Who was Jigme Singye Wangchuck?

  A. A president.

  B. A Buddhist priest.

  C. A general.

  D. A king.

  42. Apart from modernizing Bhutan, what else did Wangchuck want to do for Bhutan?

  A. To make its population grow.

  B. To keep it separate from the world.

  C. To encourage its people to get rich.

  D. To keep its tradition and customs.

  43. A country shows its progress with GNP by

  A. selling more products.

  B. spending more money.

  C. spending less money.

  D. providing more jobs.

  44. According to GNH, people are happier if they

  A. have new technology.

  B. can change their religion.

  C. have a good, stable government.

  D. have more money.

  45. Today, many countries are

  A. using the principles of GNH to measure their progress.

  下面的短文有15处空白,请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1个最佳选项。

  The Old Gate

  In the Middle Ages the vast majority of European cities had walls around them. This was partly for 51 defensive(变化) reasons but another factor was the need to keep out anyone regarded as undesirable, like people with contagious 52 diseases. The Old City of London gates were all 53 demolished by the end of the 18th century. The last of London's gates was removed a century ago, 54 but(变化) by a stoke of luck, it was never destroyed.

  This gate is, in 55 actual fact, not called a gate at all; its name is Temple Bar, and it marked the 56 border(换词了,原文boundary)between the Old City of London and Westminster. In 1878 the Council of London took the Bar 57 down(变化), numbered the stones and put the gate in storage 58 because(变化) its design was unfashionable it was expensive to 59 maintain and it was blocking the traffic.

  The Temple Bar Trust was setup in the 1970's with the 60 intention(变化) of returning the gate home. The aim of the trust is the 61 preservation of the nation's architectural heritage.

  Transporting the gate will 62 mean(变化) physically pulling it down, stone by stone, removing and rebuilding it near St Paul's Cathedral. Most of the facade of the gate will probably be 63 replaced, though there is a good 64 chance that the basic structure will be sound. The hardest 65 job of all, however, will be to recreate the statues of the monarchs that once stood on top of the gate.
