A 38-year-old woman who graduated from the National school of Administration remembers that when she took a senior _43_in a ministry, her male colleagues assured her,” you are one of us, one of t
24、he guys”. But when she became a mother, she found it difficult to stick to age-old traditions of being a housewife. Meanwhile, she couldnt follow the office schedule. “It was too much_44_ to have long lunches and late-night meetings.”, she said.For those who want to balance family with a job, France
25、 is a heaven. Women marry later, on _45_, than in America - at age 25. They stay in the workforce, and part-time jobs are easy to find. Maternity(孕产) benefits are generous, with over six months of _46_ leave. Women whove raised three or more children are _47_to get a state-funded pension, and the qu

28、g Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The inhalation (吸入) of asbestos particles is associated with a number of lung diseases, such as asb
29、estosis and _50_ cancer. Asbestosis is caused by the entry of asbestos particles into the wall of the alveoli, causing scarring which limits the functioning of the lungs. The lung _51_ its elasticity and may change shape. The initial symptoms of asbestosis are a tightness in the chest and breathless
30、ness. In its _52_ stages, sufferers develop the barrel-shaped chests associated with emphysema, cyanosis, (where the skin takes a bluish _53_ ) and club fingers.Lung cancer, the generic _54_ for malignant tumors（肿瘤）of the alveoli and bronchial tubes, has been shown to be directly _55_ to the inhalat
31、ion of asbestos particles. As in the case of asbestosis, there is generally a period of inactiveness which may _56_ from 25 to 30 years after initial exposure, despite the _57_of further exposure. Research suggests that there is a direct correlation between the degree of exposure to asbestos _58_the
32、 incidence of lung cancer. Where exposure occurs, the level of risk is further _59_ by cigarette smoking. Asbestos workers who smoke cigarettes have a 90% greater risk of catching lung cancer than workers who do not _60_. Exposure to blue asbestos has been shown to produce mesothelioma, a rare cance
33、r of the outer lining of the lung or pleura. In a normal population the incidence of mesothelioma is extremely _61_. Where epidemiological surveys have revealed a higher incidence of the disease, it is almost always related to _62_ exposure._63_ changes in lung tissue caused by exposure to asbestos
34、are pleural plaques and effusions. The former refer to a thickening of the lining of the chest wall, _64_ the latter consists of a collection of fluid in the chest region outside the lungs.

38、you have just read.（A）All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop th
39、at the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beow
40、ulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources (revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse (阅览). Toky
41、os National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1,236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals. A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted
42、to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are una
43、ble to visit in person. The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground additi
44、on to house 1.5 million books an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.65. The best title for this passage would be _.A. Three Benefits of LibrariesB. Libraries Going DigitalC. Space-saving E-lear
45、ningD. Security of Electronic Reading66. Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?A. Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 B. Paragraphs 3 and 4C. Paragraphs 2 and 4 D. Paragraph 467. Which one of the following is mentioned as the advantages of E-librariesA. Old manuscripts ca

Previous research by scientists from Keil University in Germany monitored Adelie penguins and noted that the birds heart rates increased dramatically at the si
55、ght of a human as far as 30 meters away. But new research using an artificial egg, which is equipped to measure heart rates, disputes this. Scientists from the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge say that a slow moving human who does not approach the nest too closely, is not viewed as a thre
56、at by penguins. The earlier findings have been used to partly explain the 20 per cent drop in populations of certain types of penguins near tourist sites. However, tour operators have continued to insist that their activities do not adversely affect wildlife in Antarctica, saying they encourage non-
57、disruptive behavior in tourists, and that the decline in penguin numbers is caused by other factors.Amanda Nimon of the Scott Polar Research Institute spent three southern hemisphere summers at Cuverville Island in Antarctica studying penguin behavior towards humans. “A nesting penguin will react ve
58、ry differently to a person rapidly and closely approaching the nest,” says Nimon. “First they exhibit large and prolonged heart rate changes and then they often flee the nest leaving it open for predators (掠夺者) to fly in and remove eggs or chicks.” The artificial egg, specially for the project, moni
59、tored both the parent who had been disturbed when the egg was placed in the nest and the other parent as they both took it in turns to guard the nest.However, Boris Culik, who monitored the Adelie penguins, believes that Nimons findings do not invalidate his own research. He points out that species
60、behave differently and Nimons work was with Gentoo penguins. Nimon and her colleagues believe that Culiks research was methodologically flawed because the monitoring of penguins responses needed capturing and restraining the birds and fitting them with beart-rate transmitters. Therefore, argues Nimo
61、n, it would not be surprising if they became stressed on seeing a human subsequently. 72. According to the passage, what overall message is presented?A. No firm conclusions are drawn.B. Neither Culiks nor Nimons findings are of much value.C. Penguin reduction is closed related to tourist behavior.D.
62、 Tourists are not responsible for the fall in penguin numbers.73. Which ONE argument of the following is stated in the passage?A. Penguins are harder to research when they have young.B. Tour operators should encourage tourists to avoid Antarctica.C. Not all penguins behave in the same way.D. Penguin
63、s need better protection from tourists.74. What do you notice about the views presented in the passage?A. They are groundless.B. They are factual.C. They are descriptive.D. They are conflicting.75. What does the underlined word (final line) probably mean?A. later onB. carmlyC. separatelyD. in the sa

65、istorical Background76. The task of predicting the weather that will be observed at a future time is called weather forecasting. As one of the primary objectives of the science of meteorology, weather forecasting has depended critically on the scientific and technological advances in meteorology tha
66、t have taken place since the latter half of the 19th century.77. Throughout most of history, forecasting efforts at any given site depended solely on observations that could be made at the site. With the development of the telegraph in the mid-1800s, weather forecasters were able to obtain observati
67、ons from many distant locations within a few hours of the collection of such data. Weather forecasting was revolutionized in the 1920s by the work of a group of Norwegian scientists. This group provided a consistent and empirically based description of atmospheric circulation systems. Current weathe
68、r-forecasting techniques were initiated by the theoretical work of American meteorologist Jule Charney in developing numerical weather prediction. Experimental numerical forecasts in 1950 proved so fruitful that they were soon adopted on a practical basis. Since then, computerized systems based on n
69、umerical models have become a central part of weather forecasting.78. The process of making a weather forecast can be separated into three steps: observation and analysis, extrapolation to find the future state of the atmosphere, and prediction of particular variables. The standard extrapolation tec
70、hnique is to assume that weather features will continue to move as they have been moving. In some cases the third step simply consists of noting the results of extrapolation, but actual prediction usually involves considerable efforts beyond this. 79. Great attention is paid to weather forecasts dur
71、ing times of severe events (blizzard, hurricane and typhoon, tornado), and so forth. Accordingly, the National Weather Service (NWS) commits significant resources to the forecast of such events. Blizzards or strong extra-tropical cycles are handled through the usual forecast information channels, wi
72、th the local NWS office issuing special advisories as appropriate.80. A number of new observing systems are being developed for forecasting purposes. These include the Next-Generation Radar digital weather radar, which is intended to detect motions towards or away from the radar installation. In add
73、ition, automated systems are being developed for taking observations at surface stations and on board buoys, ships, and aircraft. The communications, processing, and display systems intended to govern this torrent of further data are still being elaborated. Section DDirections: Read the passage care
74、fully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 12 words. The first fast food restaurants opened in the United Sates at the end of the 1950s. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the fast food industry continued to expand across the United Sates. Two aspects of American society
75、that helped the fast food industry take off were teenagers and cars. Teenagers were the best workers to fill the low-skill jobs needed to work in fast food restaurants putting together hamburgers, taking orders and frying potatoes. Fast food chains also marketed themselves to people with cars by hav
76、ing drive-thru order windows and car hops. Car hops were waitresses who usually wore roller skates and brought the food outside the restaurant so that people could eat in their cars.The trend of fast food chains hiring teenagers continues today. One out of every eight Americans has worked at McDonal
77、ds, the largest fast food chain in the United States. Fast food chains used to be found only along highways or in business areas where people need to grab a quick lunch before returning to work. Today, however, fast food restaurants can be found in sports stadiums, airports, gas stations, malls; on
78、college campuses, cruise ships; at K-Mart, Wal-Mart; and in hospital cafeterias.The popularity of fast food in the United States is related to the idea that people would rather eat in a place they are familiar with rather than try a new place they know nothing about. This is the philosophy behind fr
79、anchises(特许经营). When a person buys a franchise, they are paying for the use of the companys name. This system has advantages and disadvantages for the person starting the restaurant. The new franchise owner is called the “franchisee”. The company selling its name is the “franchiser”. The franchiser
80、brings experience, equipment, and a business plan to the deal. The franchisee puts up the money and does all the work. On the negative side, the franchiser gives up some control by not owning each restaurant or store directly. The franchisee gives up her or his ability to make personal decisions bec
81、ause she or he has to obey the rules of the company.(Note: Answer the question or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. Fast food chains hire teenagers because _.82.
