22、s(机会) as men in education, jobs and training. But, its still unusual to find women doing dirty or heavy jobs. Nikki Henriques is a car maintainer. She said, “I wanted to use my hands, and I like learning about how things work. Many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.” Nikki didnt f
23、ind it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. She went to a Government Skill Centera special sort of college where people can learn a new jobfor twenty weeks. “For ten weeks I was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me, just because of my sex. It was also very ti
24、ringfrom 8 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, with only 30 minutes for lunch.”Now Nikki works free-lance, that is, shes self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company. Rose, who is a general builder in Sheffield, an industrial town in the north of England. Like Nikki, Rose u
25、sed to be a secretary. “I didnt enjoy it at all,” she said. “I wanted to do more practical work, and I wanted to be self-employed.” Rose joined a womens building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. However, many of the women in her group have been specially tr
26、ained. Most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs. “People often say, Oh, women arent strong enough. but I dont think strength is important,” said Rose. “The important thing is to get used to doing a different sort of work.” Rose would like more women to come into the
27、 building industry. “Everything built at the moment is a product of mans world. If women become builders, they will be able to understand the production of their houses and their towns.”51.

There is truly nothing else like it in this world. It is one of the greatest gifts God has given us. Growing up, I was very poor and I remember
31、 how I always felt so blessed that God gave us musicthat it was this beautiful gift that was completely free. My family sometimes went without electricity or water and I member thinking that it was no big deal because I still had my musicand it couldnt be taken away from me. The Bible teaches that t
32、he soul is always wanting to e released from the body. I believe that music is as close as the soul can come to being set free without the body actually dying. That may seem like a strange statement but there is something so unexplainable that happens inside when you sing or play a phrase or song an
33、d you put our whole heart into it and block everything else out. Its he most spiritual feeling I have ever felt and I feel like God is standing right by me when it happens. Its a complete release. I believe that everyone has a song in their heart. Some people just refuse to listen. Others acknowledg
34、e it but they dont allow themselves to feel its power. They feel like it makes them weak when it actually makes a person stronger. What can possibly be bad about any feeling created by a song that moves a person to tears or laughteror joy? Life is too short to be so cautious. As for my own musical t
35、alent, I am thankful. I may never get the chance to stand on a stage and sing to hundreds or thousands but I have been able to sing to many audiences. Im thankful that I can sit and play guitar/piano and sing to myself and to God. I still have hopes and dreams of recording my own CD andor being part
36、 of something much bigger than anything I could ever do on my own. So these are my thoughts on music tonight. Ask me tomorrow and Im sure I would come up with something completely different.55.

She hated make-up, and she didnt pluck（修）her eyebrows, no matter how David Sel
41、znick who imported her to Hollywood from Sweden laughed at her. Such qualities were important to the roles she played.Living as she wished to caused her great trouble in the land of the puritans（清教徒）after she left her husband Peter Lindstorm for director Roberto Rossellini, who directed some of her

50、inally found a way to prevent the damage caused by the monkeys.

Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers
55、. It is also changing the way we interact and build relationship. These are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individual and organizations to rethink the way they use email. “Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baro
56、n, a professor of linguistics at American University. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect a growing unconcern to the way we write. Baron argues that we shouldnt forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in emails. “The more we use email and
57、 its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says. Others say that despite its poor prose(文字), email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldnt: It has made writing fashionable again. “Email is a critical new communication technology,”
58、says Lancashire, a University of Toronto professor of English. “It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email. It is the purest form of written speech.” Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by wri
59、ting to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of emails close similarity to speech. “Its like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says. Still, he accepts that this new found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. “Alm
60、ost every day I get emails sent in a day exceeds the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.”67. From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that _. A. careless people use more emails than careful peopl
61、e B. email requires people to change their native language C. professors in universities dont need to use email D. people communicate by email full of mistakes68. In Lancashires opinion, email is a wonderful technology because _. A. it can be useful all over the world B. it is the fastest way to com
62、municate C. we can express ourselves in a free way D. we can save a lot of paper69. This passage mainly shows us that _. A. people should stop using email to communicate B. experts hold different opinions about email C. Americans only use email to communicate D. email makes people lose interest in E
63、nglish70. The underlined word “exceeds” probably means _.A. 落后B. 超过C. 优越于D. 扼杀了FEach year, road accidents kill a million people and injure millions more. The economic costs are greatest for developing countries. Earlier this year, the United Nations called for a campaign to improve road safety.One w
64、ay to avoid accidents is better driving. Another is better roads and bridges. Engineers in the United States have designed ten new concrete mixtures that they think could make bridges last longer.Professor Paul Tikalsky leads the experiments by a team at Pennsylvania State University. He says bridge
65、s made of concrete now last about twenty-five to thirty-five years. But he says the new mixtures might extend that to seventy-five or even one-hundred years.Concrete is made of stone, sand, water and cement(水泥). The materials in the cement hold the concrete together. Ancient Romans built with concre
66、te. Yet strengthened concrete bridges did not appear until the late eighteen hundred. People keep looking for new ways to improve concrete. Professor Tikalsky says it is one of the most complex of all chemical systems. The new mixtures designed by his team contain industrial waste products. He says
67、these make the concrete better able to resist damage from water and salt over time. One of the products is fly ash This is released（排放）into the air as pollution when coal is burned. Professor Tikalsky says particles(颗粒) of fly ash are almost exactly the same size and chemical-structure as Portland c
68、ement. This is the most costly material in concrete. So using fly ash to replace some of it would save money. Over the next two years, engineers will study ten bridges in Pennsylvania. These were built from the different cement mixtures designed by Professor Tikalskys team. He says longer-lasting br
69、idges could save the state more than thirty-five-million dollars a year. And he says the materials would be environmentally friendly.The federal government is paying for part of the research. Engineers anywhere can use the technology. Professor Tikalsky says some of the ideas have already been put t
70、o use in China, the Philippines and other countries.71. What does the underlined word “This” in the sixth paragraph refer to? A. Fly ash. B. Portland cement. C. Sand. D. Chemical.72. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The causes of road accidents. B. The advantages of fly ash. C. The measures
71、of avoiding road accidents. D. Latest information about long-life concrete bridges.73. What can we conclude from the passage? A. Engineers have to pay a lot of money to use the new bridge technology. B. Pennsylvania State University is paying all the money for the research. C. Bridges built with fly
72、 ash are cheaper than common bridges. D. Fly ash is much more expensive than Portland cement.74. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Ten new concrete bridges have already been built in the United States. B. A new concrete bridge could last 50 more years than an ordinary concrete one. C. Pe
73、ople didnt know how to build with cement until the late 1800s. D. Water and salt wont do any damage to bridges over time.75. The underlined words “environmentally friendly” mean _ to the environment. A. favorable B. harmful C. generous D. dangerousIV短文改错（10分）In my hometown there used to be a temple
