Earlier, in the old days, women used to sit at home separated from the outside world. They used to manage the home and look after children. They were free of the responsibility of earning money to support the family, which was left to men.
With the coming of industrialization (工業(yè)化) and technological development, the lifestyles of human beings started to change. The needs of human beings started to grow. In this process, women slowly started to move outside the home. Women received the same education as men. Gradually, women slowly started to think independently and participated equally with men in all fields of life, including politics, sports and even military.
With changing environments, the role of women has become more important in society. To match today’s standard of living, it is necessary for both men and women to support the family.
Today, women have been given bigger roles to play in society. They are even taking more responsibility than men. At first, men disagreed with women pursuing (追求) their careers outside the home. However, with growing needs and a shortage of money, they had no other way but to accept the reality.
The financial contributions from women to their families have increased, but in some places, the home is still managed only by women as in the past. It is a challenging task for women to manage both. Women are bearing the stress and suffering mental difficulties with both managing the home and pursuing their careers.
小題1:The best title for the passage would be _________.
A.Women's Responsibility in SocietyB.The Changing Social Environments

C.look after childrenD.make money for the family

A.women don't need to manage the home today
B.women are taking more responsibility than before
C.men still disagree with women pursuing their careers
D.men have begun to do more housework than women

Oscar-winning director Ang Lee' s new epic "Life of Pi" reveals the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators(食肉動物)are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people's attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.
With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline t0 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.
Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near The Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.
"The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,"grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. "The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don' t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to. "'
India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. " The tiger's rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go al! out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict," says a wildlife conservationist.
Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. "Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. " 
小題1:How can PETA take advantage over the hot movie “ Life of Pi ”?
A.PETA can count on the movie to promote people' s awareness of tiger' s life.
B.PETA can make enough money by encourage people to watch the movie.
C.The movie demonstrates that humans and tigers can live in harmony.
D.The movie offers a wonderful opportunity for movie to act in.
小題2:Why did the villagers beat the tiger to death?
A.Because it was a human killer and attempted to attack people.
B.Because it was suspected to be a threat to local people' s lives.
C.Because local people just followed their instinct to kill it.
D.Because people wanted to carry out their revenge for it.
小題3:According to the article, when will tigers attack and kill people?
A.When they are annoyed by people.
B.When they have conflict with people.
C.When they are driven to act in the movie.
D.When they are hungry or attacked.
小題4:What contributes to the facts that livestock and human beings become easy target of tigers?
A.It is easier for tigers to hunt human beings than other animal for food.
B.Tigers are losing their habitat and forced to go out of the woods.
C.People hold a strong belief that tigers are a born threat to their lives.
D.Tigers can't be treated equally as other animal in the forest

Some nations think they must have more and more babies, more and more people, if they are to remain strong and free.
Actually, this is not so. Very often in history, small nations have conquered large ones. It’s not so much the size of the army as its organization and the technical level of its weapons. Thus, Greece took over Persia in the 300s B.C., Great Britain took over India in the 1700s, even though Persia and India had far bigger population than Greece and Great Britain.
If a nation wishes to avoid being dominated by its neighbors, its best chance is to raise its standard of living and its level of technology.This can be done best by not allowing its population to grow to such a point that it is sunk in misery and poverty. In fact, the worst way in which a nation can try to avoid being dominated by its neighbor is to increase its population to the point of misery and poverty.
If every nation tries to compete with its neighbors by raising its population, then the whole world will be sunk in misery and poverty. The nations will become weak in a disaster that will leave nothing behind that is worth dominating. No one will have gained anything. Everyone will have lost everything.
Once all this is understood, and people generally agree that population growth must not be allowed to continue, they must also come to understand how that growth can be stopped. Population grows because more people are being born than are dying. There are two ways, then, in which the growth can be stopped. You can increase the number of people who die until it matches the number of people who are being born. Or else you can decrease the number of people who are born until it matches the number of people who are dying.
The first method—increasing the death rate—is the usual way in which population is controlled in all species of living things other than ourselves, but we don’t want that, for disaster lies that way. The intelligent way is to reduce the birth rate. But how can the birth rate be reduced?
小題1: In paragraph 3, the word “This” refers to ______.
A.a(chǎn)voidance of povertyB.improvement of life and technology
C.growth of population D.enhancement of living standard and competition
小題2: It can be inferred from the passage that if a country had fewer people, ______.
A.it could still remain strongB.it would be defeated by a strong neighbour
C.its standard of living could be highD.its people would live misery
小題3: What might the author be further discussing after the passage?
A.Needs to balance population.B.Problems involved in birth control.
C.Methods of decreasing population.D.Opposition from some nations.
小題4: The passage mainly focuses on ______.
A.why we must control populationB.where we can find a solution
C.how to stop population growthD.how to become a strong nation

Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media website has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends. Last week, a guy whom I hadn’t seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request. I accepted and waited for “Easy E” to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all.
I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son. However, I’m pretty sure we won’t ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other. But he’ll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of friends. There are 35 in all. If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I’m confident that I could increase my friend count actually.
A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of on-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends.
Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That’s normal. People move from school to school, job to job, city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.
Every day, the masterminds of Web 2.0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However, convenience can be a walking stick. Some things shouldn’t be simplified. When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.
小題1:According to Paragraph 1, the website is famous because       .
A.it has an interesting name of “Facebook”
B.it can send people a greeting of some kind
C.it helps people get in touch with old friends
D.it reminds people of events in the past
小題2:From the second paragraph we can learn that the writer       .
A.would write to the friend quite often
B.did get some information about the friend
C.a(chǎn)sked the friend to e-mail him
D.would keep in touch with the friend forever
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The author communicates with all the 35 friends by e-mails.
B.There are 35 people in the author’s list of friends right now.
C.The list of 35 friends doesn’t include the old e-mail addresses.
D.It is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count.
小題4:What does the writer mean by saying “However, convenience can be a walking stick”?
A.The masterminds of Web 2.0 also sell walking sticks online.
B.Taking a walking stick is a new way of making friends online.
C.Convenience is dangerous for human communication.
D.Convenience is not really good for human communication.

Women consistently lie on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter to make their lives appear more exciting, a survey has found.
Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated or distorted what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and embellished about an exotic holiday or their job.
The most common reasons for women to write “fibs” included worrying their lives would seem “boring”, jealousy at seeing other people’s more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.
Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to “stay connected” on social media, they can in fact “paradoxically” be left “more isolated”. They also said that the “more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel”.
According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to “dishonesty” on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage.
Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week.
Nearly 30 percent of women lied about “doing something when I am home alone”, almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their “relationship status”.
“We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling,” said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist.
“Omitting the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our `friends` online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized with(與…產(chǎn)生共鳴), resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others.”
The survey was commissioned by Pencourage, a new anonymous “diary-style” social media website.
小題1:Which of the words below is closest in meaning to the underlined word “fibs” in Para 3?
A.life experiences B.short stories
C.careful thoughtsD.insignificant lies
小題2:A woman tends to tell a lie online when she__________.
A.hopes to make more friendsB.envies other people’s exciting life
C.feels lonely at homeD.gets tired of the boring life
小題3:A woman might pretend to be happier online than she actually is by __________.
A.a(chǎn)voiding conversations with friends
B.describing her holiday activities
C.leaving out the imperfections in life
D.overstating her trouble at work
小題4:According to Dr Michael Sinclair, constantly lying online may __________.
A.eventually make one’s life more exciting
B.a(chǎn)ctually lead to a sense of isolation
C.really improve one’s sense of happiness
D.scarcely have any influence on relationships

For many people, the story of cottages — small vacation homes away from the city — is a deeply personal one. For some families, cottages have been the scene of reunions, vacations and family adventures for generations.
In North America, “cottaging(去鄉(xiāng)間別墅度周末)” really began during the 19th century. At that time, crowds of people were moving from family farms to cities. Naturally, these people often felt a longing for the natural beauty of the countryside. Frequently located near lakes, in the mountains of woods, cottages provided a perfect solution.
Traditionally small and rustic (鄉(xiāng)下風格的),many cottages were once simple log(原木) homes without bathrooms, water or electricity. While in most cases that is no longer true, people still go to cottages in large numbers to escape the city and to enjoy “cottage life.”
Despite the peaceful setting, there is always plenty to do at a cottage. If you enjoy outdoor activities, try hunting, boating or hiking. Many cottages are located near a lake, so you have opportunities to go swimming, boating or sunbathing around. Enjoy a picnic with your family, or build a campfire to roast hot dogs. On rainy days, curl up(蜷曲) on a comfortable chair inside and read, or enjoy board games (棋類游戲) with your friends and relatives. Want to get out and explore? Take a tour of the lake in a motorboat, or visit one of the many small villages located nearby.
Many families rent cottages instead of owning them, but for those who do, there’s always work to be done. Wood must be chopped for the stove. Leaves need to be gathered and gardens taken care of. Since many cottages are old buildings, there’s usually something that needs to be fixed or painted.
The story of cottages is one of families, traditions and memories. Are you ready to try cottaging with your family?
小題1:The underlined word “l(fā)onging” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________ ”.
A.horrorB.needC.disappointmentD.excitement
小題2:What do we know about a cottage?
A.It is far from lakes.
B.It is not popular now.
C.It was probably built of wood.
D.It was built in a short time.
小題3:Which of the following does NOT belong to the activities mentioned in the text?
A.Sunbathing and swimming.
B.Hunting, hiking and boating,
C.Having a picnic and roasting hot dogs.
D.Playing football and watching games on TV.
小題4:Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards“cottaging”?
A.Critical.B.Doubtful.C.Positive.D.Bored.

"Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (罵)is a sign of love."
Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been-but experts say they still ring true.
Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way tosuccess.
"Good education doesn't mean letting your child enjoy privileges, especially our boys," said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur(企業(yè)家)in Jinhua, East China's Zhejiang province." They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future."
In August, Song sent his 17-year-old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money - around $48,000 per year —to send a child to a strict military school.
Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.
A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28."All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families, some of them were spoiled," said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.
Song's only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.
Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.
"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals," said Song Siyu.'The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character, they are not personal."
But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.
But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.
小題1:From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying _____.
A.is out of date in modern times.
B.is disagreed by rich parents.
C.is still worth trusting
D.is deeply believed by better educated parent.
小題2:The underlined sentence means that _____
A.Song sent his only son to military school, so he feels lonely.
B.Song is the only one who sends his child t to military school.
C.There are other people sending their children to military school besides Song.
D.The fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it.
小題3:Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school except _____.
A.taking a bath in a short time
B.having his meal with his eyes closed
C.taking unreasonable criticism
D.improving his character
小題4:How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?
A.10B.13C.15D.25
小題5:Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.   It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.
B.    Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.
C.   Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.
D.   Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.
