Drew Gilpin Faust made history in 2007 when she became the first female president of Harvar
23、d University, Massachusetts, US. Faust is an excellent historian known especially for her work on the history of the American South. She was a professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania for 25 years. In 2001, she became dean (院长) of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard.
24、Born in 1947, Faust grew up in a traditional family. She has often spoken of her “continued confrontations（对抗）” with her mother “about the requirements of what she usually called femininity（女性特质）”. Her mother used to tell her, “Its a mans world, sweetie. And the sooner you learn that, the better off
25、 youll be.” However, the daughter was a rebellious one. For example, Faust would fight with her mother over whether it was suitable for her to drive a car at night, even if one of her three brothers was a passenger. “She was raised to be a rich mans wife,” said a friend, Elizabeth Warren. “Instead s
26、he becomes the president of the most powerful university in the world.” As a girl, Faust rebelled against not only the strict rules of femininity, but also the racial injustice that existed in her native Virginia. At age 9, after a conversation with her familys black handyman (杂务工) and driver, she s
27、ent a letter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower decrying（谴责） racial injustice. When studying in Bryn Mawr, a womens college in Pennsylvania, she was a student activist who would go on to march in the civil rights protests (抗议) in the 1960s. What would her mother, who never went to college and died in
28、 1966, have to say about her appointment? “Ive often thought about that,” she said. “Ive had dialogues with my dead mother over the 40 years since she died.” 51. According to the passage, Faust was born in _. A. FloridaB. Pennsylvania C. Massachusetts D. Virginia52. According to the passage, Fausts
29、mother expected Faust to be _.A. Harvards president B. a great woman C. a traditional housewife D. a professor of history53. What does the underlined word “rebellious” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.

A “rebellious daughter” to lead HarvardD. A portrait of Harvards future presidentBThere are three branches of medici
31、ne. One is called “doctor medicine,” or “scientific medicine.” Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC.
32、Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients.A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures,” or “folk medicine,” in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs(中草药). These folk healers also use observation an
33、d logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.The third kind is called “health
34、 spas,” or “faith healing.” Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines for the sick. In these places people rest, get pl
35、enty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.55. Doctor medicin
36、e _.A. has a longer history than folk medicineB. has been practiced for around 1,600 yearsC. bases its treatments on observation and logicD. was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times.56.

44、o make effort towards perfection in whichever job one does. It could be a small task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like organizing a business meeting in your later life.Perfection is nothing but attention to details. If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not
45、 a single spot of dirt shows from any angle. If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease (皱痕) shows on the bed-covers.
