17、ot long ago at a womans funeral. I didnt expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.The teenage grandson stepped forward.

18、: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would truly attack her, what would Nana say? oh, what beautiful barking that dog has! That was Nana. ”“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was
19、a successful businessman in this city.

21、carry on in the same manner.”There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they havent learned to be controlled.When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest friend,

An international team of researchers has announced the creation of a Web-based Encyclopedia of Life(EOL).The project aims to catalogue every species on Earth in
37、a single,easy-to-use reference guide.To get the encyclopedia started,the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist. And eventually,in special sections of the site,nonscientists with specialized knowledge will join. Gardeners,for example,will be able to record the dat
38、es that their flowers first bloom each year. Bird-watchers will be able to input which birds theyve seen and where. The technology for this kind of tool has only recently become available.As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will have special pages for kids who
39、 are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it.

46、 DWomen nowadays do not just want to work to help meet the rising costs of living and education for their children. They also want a career that will enable them to bring out their skills and use their potentials so that they can experience a sense of fulfillment and pride that come from achievement
47、s and success. Some careers that have been traditionally dominated(支配)by the male species have been made open and filled up by women as well. It is no longer a surprising occurrence today to see many women working as pilots, astronauts, engineers, in construction sites, and in the printing business
48、that operates high-tech machines. Many women are also taking their chances on managerial and executive positions that mostly men are the ones sitting on. Many of them also do well in the line of education as teachers, deans and even presidents of universities. You can also see many women as lecturer
49、s and reviewers of different businesses. One example is that of the online printing company reviews where women usually have a say on what is the best choice for online printers for any marketing needs. From the income that women are getting from their work, they are able to maintain a family and ab
50、le to provide a better education for their children and able to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. However, there are still pronounced biases (偏见) against women in high leadership positions. There still exists the so-called gender-role stereotyping. Women need help to cope with and manage the typical st
51、ereotyping of women workers and managers. Those who look for jobs advertised in the classified sections of the newspaper often discover that many corporate positions are closed to women. And most often than not, many give preference to men by indicating in their ads phrases such as “male preferred”
52、or “male applicants only.” Even in some family run or owned corporations, seldom can you see women managers and presidents.Surveys show that although a man and a woman have the same level or handle the same position in an organization, the man would get a higher or bigger compensation package (薪酬) c
53、ompared to women.Because of this, many women are just contented to be in subordinate positions in finance, human resources, sales, manufacturing and other supportive roles. There are still other barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potentials in the world of employment. Our culture d
54、oes not encourage women to excel in government and in business-related jobs. Women who are able to make it on top and handle leadership roles are sometimes regarded merely as tokens. The abilities and skills of women are normally questioned by their own peers, and sadly even by other women. If you a
55、re a woman who have the interest, ability and drive to pursue management careers, career counseling is of great help to help you find direction and increase motivation to pursue your career goals. It will help you have the self-confidence to get you in the same career opportunities open to men in th
56、is society that still prefers men for top level positions. 59. The underlined word “subordinate” in the 5th paragraph has a similar meaning to “ ”.A. higher B. lower C. more rewarding D. less demanding60. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Women working out of houses B. Women fighting against
57、biases C. Women getting larger income D. Women aiming high in careers第二节:下面文章中有5处(第61 65题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。A. Find a jobB. Get OrganizedC.

59、e several ways to avoid the constant panic of going broke.61._Instead of driving to class and spending money on gas, parking passes and possible tickets look into a local bus or subway system. If the system is run by your university, youll probably be able to ride for free with a student ID. If such
60、 a system doesnt exist (or the existing one isnt safe or reliable), try to work out class schedules with friends and carpool. If youre close enough, walk or bike to class and get some much-needed exercise. 62._Banks usually cater to college students by offering free checking and savings accounts, al
61、lowing you to avoid fees on withdrawals (取款), fund transfers or the minimum amount allowed in the account. Make sure online banking is an option, as this makes it easier to follow your activity. Keep track of your account overdrafting (透支)will only cost you more in fees. So, do what it takes to stay
62、 out of the red as much as possible. 63._It might seem like a hassle, but saving receipts of everything you purchase is a great way to monitor your spending habits. Try it out for a month.

Plan a picnic in the park; make dinner for a date instead of going to a fancy restaurant; go for a bike ride around town; play
65、Frisbee golf on campus. Any of these activities can cost a fraction of the typical college experience and can be more fun. 65._If you can fit it into your busy class schedule, that is a great way to bring in some extra income and give you some more flexibility with your spending. Waiting at tables o
66、r delivering food can bring in great tips, and college-town restaurants are almost always looking for new help.
