　　People used to say, “The hand that rocks the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

　　Both these 1 mean the same thing. Men rule the world , 2 their wives rule them.

　　3 of the American women like making their husbands and 4 successful, but some of them want 5 for themselves. They want 6 jobs. When they work, they want to be better 7 .They want to be as 8 as men .

　　The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who don’t want to stand 9 successful men. They want to stand 10 men, with 11 chance for success. They don’t want to be told that 12 jobs or offices are 13 to them. They 14 to work side by side with men who do the same work for a 15 pay.

　　A liberated woman must be 16 of being a woman and have confidence (信心) in 17. If somebody says to her “You have come a long 18”. She will 19 and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to 20, baby.”

　　答案与分析

　　通读全文， 本文讲述了美国的妇女解放运动的问题：妇女不仅要求与男子同工同酬，她们更要与男人一样成功。妇女的解放不仅改变了妇女，也改变了男人。

　　1. C term 术语；idea 观念；phrase短语；saying 俗语。 前面的两句应该是俗语。

　　2. D “尽管男人统治着世界，然而女人统治着男人。”前后为转折关系。

　　3. B 与下句but some of them want 5 ( more) for themselves作对比，大部分妇女仍喜欢做幕后英雄。

　　4. A 在家庭中支持男人成功，即支持丈夫和儿子成功。

　　5. B有的妇女对自己要求的更多。空前的but 对此答案有较为重要的作用。

　　6. B 联系下一句When they work, they want to be better 7 (paid)我们可以推断，妇女要求与男人干同样好的工作。

　　7. D be (well) paid 得到很好报酬。 在此A有一定的干扰性，tend意思是“照料、照顾”。 我们可以想一想，如果女人要求获得比男人更好的照顾的话，她们是在要求与男人平等吗？

　　8. C 整个这一段讲述女人不甘落在男人后面， 她们要与男子获得同样的工作、报酬、成功机会。

　　9. A 从第一段Behind every successful man there is a woman我们可以得此答案。

　　10. B 这两空的介词的使用表明女人的立场。 Stand behind successful men站在成功男人的后面，成为他们的附属品。stand beside men与男人并肩站着，谁也不比谁差到哪里去。

　　11. B with the same chance for success 是对stand beside men的补充。

　　12. D “她们不想有人告诉她们某些工作是她们不能做的。”certain在这里的意思是“某些”。

　　13. A are closed to them意思是“她们不能去干”。

　　14. B 此空若不联系下一空便很难选出。联系上下文我们可以推断出现在仍存在男女同工不同酬的现象。妇女并非想获得比男子更高的报酬，因此这空选hope,下一空选bad 或lower是错误的。这句话的意思是“她们不愿意(refuse)与男子干同样的工作，男子获得的报酬却比她们高。”

　　15. D a better pay后省略了than them (women)。

　　16. C “一个解放的妇女必须以作为妇女为骄傲……。”

　　17. C 对自己充满信心。

　　18. A You have come a long way的意思是You have made great progress in your position. 即“你们的地位已经提得够高了。”

　　19. B smile一词说明妇女已经看到了自己地位的提高。C,D均有较大干扰性。nod表示“赞同”， 与后面妇女的答语相矛盾。regret表示“惋惜”，这样不能表示妇女已经看到自己的地位已经提高，从答语后的baby一词我们也可以看到妇女对自己的前途是乐观的，因此D不合题意。

　　20. D 这句话的意思是“与我们要达到的还差得远呢。”not nearly在这里的意思是“远非”。在此A 有一定的干扰性。从上一段You have come a long 18 (way) 我们可以看出， come在这里表示“已经达到的”，go表示“即将达到的”。

　　答案与分析

　　本篇以童话的形式讲述狗为什么在夏天会将舌头伸出嘴外。全文生动幽默。

　　1. C 从空后的didn't及下文的Long long ago可得此答案。

　　2. A 从上句的the dog was very bad得此答案。

　　3. C 能与into搭配的只有went。

　　4. C “当它看到……”。when 在这里引导了时间状语从句。

　　5. B 从前文the dog was very bad及后文它做的事看， 狗有了一个很坏的主意。

　　6. C much和a little都是修饰不可数名词;few 表示否定意义。在这里作者想通过这个事例说明狗的坏， 因此狗弄去了很多dirty things。

　　7. B them指前文的dirty things。在此D有一定的干扰性。those指属于这一类的，并非指前面提到的那些东西。

　　8. B A有一定干扰性，watched意思是“观察”， 在这里作者是说狗所做的这一切正好被猴子看到，因此用was seen。

　　9. A 因为是“藏(hid)”,因此此空用behind。

　　10. B what在这里引导宾语从句，作did的宾语。

　　11. A “因为它(猴子)不知道它(狗)为什么要这样做。 ”空前的for表示原因。

　　12. D Several days later指狗将dirty things弄得到处都是的几天以后。

　　13.C 因为it got hotter and hotter 又加上the dirty things became rotten，因此The air smelt terrible。

　　14.B “动物们想弄清楚是谁干的。”try在此意为“想， 企图”，因此后面跟不定式。find out 意思是“(通过调查、研究后)搞清楚，弄明白”。

　　15. B how引导宾语从句。how修饰bad,表示程度。

　　16. B 它(猴子)告诉了其它动物真相。

　　17. D 后跟不定式作宾补，可以省略to的只有made。

　　18. B make the forest clean指“让它打扫森林”。 keep意思是“保持”，因此A不合题意。

　　19. B 这是讲述这件事前后狗的变化。“这之后它变得诚实了。”

　　20. B 从短文首句可得此答案。最后一句为首尾照应。

　　通读全文，本文是记叙文，全文叙述了因为出现了一次恶性事故，the police officers对交通事故高度重视，他们在周末执行了一项特殊任务，检查过路司机，虽然拦截了像Joe Forest这样的司机，然而前景仍不容乐观。

　　1. B 从空后的from their captain得此答案。

　　2. D Ed Williams 是这位长官的名字。

　　3. A 今天是周末，本来是休息的日子，可是他们仍在上班，他们有特殊的任务，因此说on special duty。从后文得知，他们的special duty是在路上观察过往车辆。

　　4. D earlier在此相当于before。

　　6. D 现在这些officers 在商议办法阻止这类事情再次发生。

　　16. B 看到Forest 喝酒到了如此地步， Williams 不让Forest把车开回家。

　　17. D Forest自己不能开车回家，他叫来他妹妹开车送他回家。

　　18. A 罚款和六十天禁止开车是对Forest的惩罚。

　　19. C 从后文for Joe hadn't killed them看， 其他司机都庆幸自己没有被Joe送了命。A有一定干扰性,作者在此是说，Joe这样驾车太危险了，坐他车的那些司机没有送了命已经够幸运的了。

　　20.C。“Joe以后就不再酒后驾车了吗？”在此B有一定干扰性，整个短文主要讲的是酒后驾车的事，并没有牵扯其它违章事情，因此其它答案不合题意。
