35、lege education, save for retirement, and yes, but extras too. The second myth holds that the pay gap is a womans issue. Not true.文章大意:尽管美国政府早已经出台同酬法案(The Equal Pay Act),但是美国男女同工不同酬的现象依然存在,在同样的岗位上,男性收入明显高于女性,本文重点分析了这种现象存在的原因。39According to the passage, which one best shows employers evaluation of wom
36、en employees?APaychecks. BPromotions.CPeformance reviews. DPerks.答案:A细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,paychecks最能表明雇主对女雇员的评价。40Womens average income is_of mens according to one of the US.

38、just how much that income gap between men and women costs women”可知C项正确。42According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?AAmerican women couldnt get equal pay with men for lack of a law against wage discrimination.BThe Equal Pay Act, signed in 1963, has no effect on wage discrimi
39、nation.CAlthough there is a law for equal pay, its enforcement is not satisfactory.DThe economic reason why women work is different from men.答案:C正误判断题。A项不正确,因为美国通过了同酬法案反对工资收入中的歧视。极据第五段最后一句可判断B项是错误的,因为这个法案是有点效果的,现结合这句话中的snails pace(蜗牛速度)可以判断,法律执行的效果令人不满意,故C项正确。根据最后一段中的“In truth, women work for the sa
40、me economic reasons as men do”可以判断D项也是不正确的。43The most appropriate title of the passage is“_”AThe Pay Gap for WomenBWage DiscriminationCThe Equal Pay ActDFour Ps答案:A标题概括题。全文围绕美国男女工资的差别进行了分析,所以A作为标题最合适。CJune came and the hay was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummers Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jo
41、nes went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday. The men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out rabbiting(猎兔), without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the livingr
42、oom sofa with the“News of the World” over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains. It was just then that M
43、r.Jones woke up.The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Jones and his men sudd
44、enly found themselves being struck with their horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of control. They had never seen animals act like this before, and this sudden uprising of creatures that they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them. After only a
45、 moment or two they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road, with the animals running after them joyfully.44Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AWashington was the name of a hotel.BRed Lion was the name of a restaurant.C
46、News of the World was a TV programme.DStorehouse is a place to feed the cows.答案:B辨别正误题。由第一段第二句中的“got so drunk at the Red Lion”可知B项正确。A项的Washington文中未提到;由第一段中间的“with theNews of the World over his face”可知“News of the World”是报纸而非电视节目,故C项错误;由第一段倒数第二句中的“help themselves to the grains”可断定“storehouse”是粮仓,故D
47、项亦错。45The four men didnt feed the cows because_.Athe cows were not hungryBMr. Johns was not at homeCthey went to do something elseDthe cows could find the grains答案:C推理判断题。从第一段第三句中的“gone out rabbiting(猎兔),without bothering to feed.”可知。46What would be the best title for the text?AMidsummers EveBA Bad
48、SundayCCows And Their MastersDThe Rebellion Of The Cows答案:D主旨大意题。此文第一段讲由于没有喂牛而导致饥饿的牛冲进粮仓,第二段描写了牛群对驱赶他们的主人的反抗,并在文末用拟人的手法幽默地描述了牛群“起义”后的愉快心情。综合全文可知第一段是对第二段的铺垫,而故事中心在于描述D项所表述的内容。DParents fear they are putting too much pressure on their daughters to reach their academic potential, the president of a girl
49、s schools body has said.

55、pressureBcant live a stressful lifeCcant achieve a balance between school work and happinessDfall behind boys at school答案:C细节理解题。从文章第一段可知,女孩承受着很大的压力,父母担心她们不能在学业和幸福之间找到一个平衡,故选C。48“Helicopter parents”are those who_.Aare very caring to their childrenBhelp solve every single problem their children are f
56、acingChave realistic expectations of their childrenDare involved in their childrens lives答案:B第四段说“父母也想在关心孩子和干涉孩子生活间寻求一种平衡,他们不想做直升机父母”,由此可知“helicopter parents”指那些事事都帮孩子处理的父母。49According to the poll, parents top concern was their daughters_.Ahappiness BsafetyCeducation Dhealth答案:C细节理解题。从文章第二段第二句可知,调查显
57、示,父母最关心的是女儿的教育问题。50Mrs Berry believes that_.Agirls pressure mainly comes from their parentsBits not necessary for girls to aim highCgirls who aim high usually end up disappointedDgirls pressure largely comes from themselves答案:D推理判断题。从文章第三段尤其是最后两句可知,Mrs Berry认为女孩往往给自己很大的压力。51The underlined word“outpe
58、rform”probably means_.Aget along well withBfall behindCdo better thanDcompete against答案:C词义猜测题。从下文“this can lead schools to assume all girls will do well”可推知,女孩往往比男孩表现好,因此造成人们对她们的期望过高。EThe Chinese Antarctica(南极洲)expedition(探险队)returned to Shanghai on March 20 following a month living on the ice. It
59、was the first time Chinese scientists had visited the Amery Ice Shelfthe longest ice shelf in the world.The team collected ice samples and data(数据)on temperatures, which are necessary for research on global(全球的)warming.So far, about 27 countries have visited Antarctica for scientific research. Altho
60、ugh the living conditions are very hard, many scientists have to stay there for long periods of time.So, how do they manage their lives on the ice?Well, during the summer, the temperature in Antarctica reaches about 20. It falls to about 60 in winter. So, even if there are 24 hours of sunshine, scie
61、ntists must keep wearing all the correct clothes to protect them from the cold. These clothes include jeans, running shoes, jackets, long underwear, boots and woolen socks.Although highly technical clothing provides much protection against the extreme cold, scientists often need to go outside when t
62、here is an icy wind blowing and the temperature is 30. Natural protection such as facial hair can also help.“Thats why many researchers wear a beard. It really does keep you warm,”says German explorer Arved Fuchs.Usually, the polar researchers have good meals. Some even have feasts(盛宴)on holidays li
63、ke Christmas and New Years Day. Vegetables are always welcomed and usually finished the quickest.Life on the ice means living with other researchers in tight living spaces. Most peopole sleep in dorm(宿舍)style rooms. More remote field camps use separate tents. So, at least some researchers dont have
64、to put_up_with annoying snorers(打鼾者)But what do they do for fun in their spare time? There are actually a lot of things they can do. They watch movies, read tons of books, listen to music, visit saunas(桑拿浴),paint and ski. Some female researchers might even do some knitting.It is important for a pola
65、r researcher to be in good physical condition. They can be required to climb to heights of more than 3,000 metres. And the Antarctic atmosphere has less oxygen than that of any other continent.52In which month of this year did the Chinese Antarctica expedition mentioned in the passage reach the Amer
66、y Ice Shelf?AFebruary. BMarch.CJanuary. DDecember.答案:A细节理解题。从本文第一句话中的“.returned to Shanghai on March 20 following a month living on the ice.”可知中国南极探险队是二月份到达南极洲的,并在南极生活了一个月,于3月20日回来。53Why do some polar researchers wear beards? Because_.Athey have no time to shave(刮脸)their beardsBbeards are helpful to
67、 keep warmCbeards will come out soon when they are shavedDthey think beards will make them look handsome答案:B概括归纳题。“极地科研人员为何留胡须呢?”,从原文中下面两句“Natural protection such as facial hair can also help. Thats why many researchers wear a beard. It really does keep you warm,.”可知“这有助于保暖”。54The underlined phrase
68、“put up with” probably means_.Ahear Bturn downClet out Dsuffer from答案:D词义理解题。根据前一句“More remote field camps use separate tents”和“put up with”所在的句子,我们可以知道:因为较偏远的营地个人有自己的帐篷,所以一些研究人员至少可以没有必要忍受讨厌的鼾声。55Which of the following do you think is the most important one to a polar researcher?AClothes. BMeals.CTe
69、nts. DHealth.答案:D细节理解题。题目意为“你认为下面哪一个对极地研究人员来说最为重要?”,是衣服,还是饭菜、帐篷、健康呢?从本文最后一段中的“It is important for a polar researcher to be in good physical condition.”可知。如果没有健康的身体,光有好的衣服、饭菜和帐篷,一个人是不能生活在南极的。.书面表达(满分25分)(北京市宣武区20092010学年度高三第二学期第一次质量检测) 你们班四月二日组织了一次爬山活动,请根据下图内容写一篇日记,完整记述当天发生的事情。注意:词数120左右。April 2,2010
70、Friday_参考范文:April 2,2010FridayToday we went to climb Xiangshan Mountain. Early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there by bus. At nine oclock we arrived at the foot of the mountain and started climbing. The mountain was very high and some of us got tired soon, but all of us were very
71、 excited. We cheered happily when we got to the top. The view was wonderful. We had our lunch there and enjoyed ourselves very much. Unfortunately, when we began to walk down the mountain, we were caught in a storm. Faced with unexpected situation, our teacher remained calm, asking us to help each other down. So we shared our umbrellas and raincoats with each other and walked more cautiously. Finally we all reached the parking lot safely and got on the bus heading back home.Despite the unexpected rain and wind, we still had a good time.
