27、thern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆). 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 more importa
28、nt. The dowry was the wifes right to receive a tenth of all her husbands property. The wife had the right to withhold 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 husband. In no cas
29、e do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.edited by SPt68 The wife shared in the management of her husbands personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance(继承权) against husband
30、s 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 dr
31、agging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miros 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 w
32、in herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position.56.Originally, the purpose of a dowry is to_. A give a woman the right to receive all her husbands property B help a woman to enjoy a higher position in the familyC protect a woman against the risk of desertion D both A and C57
33、.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 husband58. Why does the author give us the example of Maria Vivas? A To show that the wife share
34、d in the management of her husbands 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.59.The compensation Maria Vivas got for the field is_. A some of the land Miro had inherited B a tent
35、h of Miros land C money for household expenses D money form Miros inheritance60. The authors attitude towards Maria Vivas is_. A sympathetic B disapproval C indifferent D objectiveBA few common misconceptions. Beauty is only skin-deep. One s physical assets and liabilities don t count all that much
36、in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best. Over the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not- so-beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than most of us realize. The data
37、suggest, for example, the physically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted. Un-American,
38、you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists have caught us mouthing pieties (虔诚) while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give each member of a group-college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporate personnel managers a pi
39、ece of paper relating an individual s accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly attractive person, some an average-looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group
40、 members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted. Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scie
41、ntists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good. In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness
42、on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. on another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire (追求) to man
43、agerial positions do not get on as well as who may be less attractive.61. In Beauty is only skin-deep, skin-deep can be replaced by_.A. decorating B. superficial C. expressive D. demanding62. Ones physical assets and liabilities don t count all that much in a managerial career.(para l) can be interp
44、retated as_. A. whether or not one looks good or bad, it doesnt affect much ones managerial career B. in ones managerial career, he may deal with cases like assets and liabilities C. in ones managerial career, he may rarely deal with cases like assets and liabilities D. whether or not one looks good
45、 or bad, it may affect much ones managerial career63. The result of research carried out by social scientists show that_. A. people do not realize the importance of looking ones best B. women in pursuit of managerial jobs are not likely to be paid well C. good -looking women aspire to managerial pos
46、itions D. attractive people generally have an advantage over those who are not64. Good looks cut both ways for women (Para.5) means that_. A. attractive women have tremendous potential impact on public job B. good-looking women always get the best of everything C. being attractive is not always an a
47、dvantage for women D. attractive women do not do as well as unattractive women in managerial positions65. It can be inferred from the passage that in the business world_. A. handsome men are not affected as much by their looks as attractive women are B. physically attractive women who are in the pub
48、lic eye usually do quite well C. physically attractive men and women who are in the public eye usually get along quite well D. good looks are important for women as they are for men CIn 1935, the clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman, aged just twenty six, left New York with his fourteen piece “s
49、wing” band and, traveling in a ragtag group of cars, headed for the huge Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles. It was not an easy trip. There were half a dozen dismal, sparsely attended one nighters and three weeks at a dance hall in Denver, where the band was forced to play waltzes, tangos, and novelty
50、numbers. On the opening night at the Palomar, the band played ballad numbers in the first set, and there was little response from the dancers. Then one of the musicians said, if they were going to bomb again they might well do it in style. So Goodman called for his hot, often up-tempo arrangements,
51、many of them by the ingenious black bandleader and arranger Fletcher Henderson, and the kids stopped dancing, clustered around the bandstand, and began roaring. Before the weeks at the Palomar were over, it was clear that Goodman had suddenly made jazzstill a suspect and largely subliminal American
52、folk music, despite the brilliant inventions during the previous decade of Jelly Roll Morton and othersinto a popular music. Goodmans surprising ways continued. In 1936, he shook up the white entertainment establishment by hiring two black musiciansthe elegant pianist Teddy Wilson and the plunging v
53、ibraphonist Lione Hampton. (To be sure, Wilson and Hampton did not play in the band; instead, they appeared with Goodman and the drummer Gene Krupa during intermissions.) A year later, when the band went into the Paramount Theater in New York for three weeks, legions of kids appeared, and a screamin
54、g, dancing riot nearly took place. It was the first great American show frenzy, and it prepared the way for the Sinatra frenzy of 1947, and for all the Beatles frenzies, and for all the mindless rock borne frenzies of the Seventies and Eighties. Then, on the night of January 16, 1938, Goodman, chall
55、enging the long hairs, took his band into a sold out Carnegie Hall. The big band played a dozen numbers, the trio two numbers, and the quartet five numbers. Despite the immediate rumblings from Olin Downes, the Timess classical music critic (“The playing last night, if noise, speed and beat, all old
56、 devices, are heat, was “hot” as it could be, but nothing came of it all, and in the long run it was decidedly monotonous”), Goodmans concert moved jazz even further up the American popular register.66. This passage is mainly_. A. a general review of Jazz music. B. a biography of Benny Goodman.C. ab
57、out the origin of American folk music. D. about how jazz became popular in America.67. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The bands first music show in Los Angles was an immediate success. B. Goodman is considered the father of Jazz music. C. Benny Goodman was unkn
58、own to public when he left New York.D. The band scheduled to play waltzes, tangos and novelty numbers at a dance hall in Denver.68. It could be inferred from the passage thatA Jazz is a style of music native to America.来B Classic music had become outdated at Goodmans time. C Morton and Goodman were
59、contemporaries. D Goodman was the first bandleader who hired Black musicians in 1930s.69. The phrase “shake up” (Line 1,Paragraph 2) in the context probably means A to give a very unpleasant shock. B to make changes to an organization. B to get rid of a problem. D to point out, designate.70. Towards
60、 Goodmans music show frenzy, Olin Downes, the classical music critic hasA. approving attitude. B. satirizing attitude. C. regretting mind. D. exaggerated tone.第卷 (非选择题 两部分 共35分)四任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Less is more. This is why

The application of these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way will be beneficial. You will then find yourself well along
62、on your journey to simplification.Separate Your actionsWhen you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didnt even know you had. Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever,
63、because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off. But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig t

In the modern nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual part
65、ner.If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do, then its not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact is that overloaded people often tend to forget. The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept
