| 第2题：{{B}}Passage Five{{/B}} {{U}}It hasn’t worked out that way{{/U}}. Women’s labor has been bought on the cheap, their working hours have become longer and their family commitments have barely diminisheD、The reality for most working women is a near impossible feat of working ever harder. There have been new opportunities for some women: professions once closed to them, such as law, have opened up. Women managers are commonplace, though the top boardrooms remain male preserves. Professional and managerial women have done well out of neoliberalism. Their salaries allow them to hire domestic help. But more women, such as the supermarket or call centre workers; the cooks, cleaners and hairdressers, all find themselves in low-wage, low-status jobs with no possibility of paying to have their houses cleaned by someone else.Even those in professions once-regarded as reasonably high-status, such as teaching, nursing or office work, have seen that status pushed down with longer hours, more regulation and lower pay. Women’s right to work should not mean a family life where partners rarely see each other or their children. Yet a quarter of all families with dependent children have one parent working nights or evenings, many of them because of childcare problems. The legislative changes of the 1960s and 1970s helped establish women’s legal and financial independence, but we have long come up against the limits of the law.A、more radical social transformation would mean using the country’s wealth—much of it now produced by women—to create a decent family life.A、35-hour week and a national childcare service would be a start.But it is hard to imagine the major employers conceding such demands.Every gain that women have made at work has had to be fought for. Women’s lives have undergone a revolution over the past few decades that has seen married women, and mothers in particular, go from a private family role to a much more social role at work.But they haven’t left the family role behind: now they are expected to work even harder to do both. |
| 第3题：Texte 3 La crise financière enEurope de l’Est Le sommet européen extraordinaire du 1er mars devait, entre autre, évaluer la situation économique et financière desEtats d’Europe de l’Est, membres de l’UnionEuropéenne. La Hongrie, déjà aidée par le Fonds Monétaire International, tout comme la Lituanie et la Lettonie, demandait un plan d’aide urgent pour l’Europe de l’Est de la part de l’UnionEuropéenne, d’un montant compris entre 160 et 190 milliards d’euros. Un chiffre important, justifié par la difficile situation économique de la région. Lors de la transition économique, les PECO (中部和东部欧洲国家) ont rapidement privatisé (私有化) leur secteur bancaire, racheté par des banques d’Europe occidentale. Or, face à la crise financière globale, ces banques de l’Ouest ont tendance à rapatrier des capitaux (回流资本), générant ainsi une situation de crédit crunch (信贷因难) dans les pays de l’Est, encore plus forte de celle qui est ressentie enEurope de l’Ouest. La machine économique est totalement paralysée dans ces pays, et certainsEtats commencent à avoir de sérieux problèmes de refinancement de leur dette publique. Pour ne rien arranger, des attaques spéculatives ont commencé à viser les devises des pays de la région. La Slovaquie et la Slovénie, ayant déjà intégré la monnaie unique, sont, quant à elles, beaucoup mieux protégées face à la crise, même si un phénomène de différenciation des taux d’intérêts demandée auxEtats membres de la zone euro menace leur stabilité.En gros, si l’Allemagne, réputée stable, peut refinancer sa dette à des conditions proches du taux d’intérêt établi par laBanqueCentraleEuropéenne, d’autres (Slovaquie, Slovénie, mais également lesEtats les plus endettés de la zone euro) obtiennent des refinancements à des taux de plus en plus élevés, alourdissant leur note et réduisant les marges de man uvre des gouvernements.Questions : Selon le texte, ________. A、la Hongrie demandait un plan d’aide pour elle B、la Hongrie demandait un plan d’aide pour l’ensemble des pays d’Europe centrale et orientale C．un plan d’aide est prévu pour la Hongrie D．un plan d’aide est prévu pour l’ensemble des pays de l’Europe centrale et orientale |

| 第7题：{{B}}Passage Five{{/B}} The technique separates sperm into two groups—those that carry the X-chromosome (染色体) producing a female baby and those that carry the Y-chromosome producing a male baby. The technology was developed in 1990s, but the opening of a laboratory in January 2003 inCalifornia marked the company’s first expansion. "We believe the number of people who want this technology is greater than those who have access to it," said Keith L.Blauer, the company’s clinical director. This is not only a seemingly effective way to select a child’s gender. It also brings a host of ethical (伦理的) and practical considerations—especially for the majority of families who use the technique for nonmedical reasons. The clinic offers sex selection for two purposes: to help couples avoid passing on a sex-linked genetic disease and to allow those who already have a child to "balance" their family by having a baby of the opposite sex. Blauer said the company has had an impressive success rate: 91 per cent of the women who become pregnant after sorting for a girl are successful, while 76 per cent who sort for a boy and get pregnant are successful. The technique separates sperm based on the fact that the X chromosome is larger than the Y chromosome.A、machine is used to distinguish the size differences and sort the sperm accordingly. |
| 第8题：Most parents prize the diversity within their children’s public schools. They know that learning to cooperate and excel in a diverse, real-world setting is a key to success in the 21st-century workplace and marketplace. But how "diverse" and "real-world" is a school that does not have any minority teachers The bad news today is that some 40 percent ofAmerica’s public schools have no teachers of color. The good news is that we have an opportunity to recruit and encourage moreAmericans of color to enter the teaching profession.And our success in doing so can have a powerfully positive impact on student achievement. Obviously, a teacher’s effectiveness depends, first and foremost, on his or her skills and high expectations, not on the teacher’s color. Yet we also know that children ofColor—40 percent of the student population and rising—benefit in important ways by having some teachers who look like them, who share similar cultural experiences, and who serve as role models demonstrating that education and achievement are things to be respecte D、 Bear in mind that teachers do not teach only facts and "content". They also model appropriate behaviors and teach by personal example.And for many children, the teachers and other adults in their school are the most important authority figures outside of their home. So it is important to expose children to a diverse teaching staff—and to diverse role models—within each of our schools. Where we have an urban school with an all-minority staff or a suburban school with an all-white staff, we are giving students a stunted educational experience. Issues of diversity are especially relevant today, as public schools are redoubling their commitment to raising standards and closing achievement gaps. We need to seize every opportunity to boost the achievement of poor and minority students. I believe—and an impressive body of research confirms—that recruiting and retaining more minority teachers can be crucial to our success. NEA、has made it a core strategic priority to increase the recruitment and retention of teachers of diverse backgrounds.Beyond NEA’s own programs, we are joining with other organizations to create the NationalCollaborative onDiversity in the Teacher Workforce. But we can’t do it alone. States and school districts need to develop programs to assist teacher’s aides—large numbers of whom are minorities—to advance their education and become fully licensed teachers. Other programs can reach out to minorities still in school, offering encouragement and incentives to enter the teaching profession.At the same time, states must ensure that relevant tests do not bar promising minority candidates from entering the profession. To encourage the minorities to enter the teaching profession, states must ______ .A．give them financial support B．improve the method of testing minority candidates C．set up teachers training department D、simplify the criteria for assessing minority teachers |

| 第9题：{{B}}Passage Four{{/B}} Among the big issues being addressed by these researchers are understanding the terrorists’ weapons, assessing the full impact of terrorism—and, crucially, working out which psychological approaches actually work. It’s a deeply controversial areA、 Take the work ofDennisEmbry as an example. He argues that we have overlooked the obvious. the purpose of terrorism is to create terror. This works best "if the very symbols of everyday life become conditioned fear and anxiety stimulant". The top targets will be the most symbolic of a nation’s daily life, preferably served up for prime-time television.Crashing planes from United andAmericanAirlines into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon from 8.46 am on met those objectives all too perfectly.After the attacks, people stopped flying. Why Not because they had made a rational risk assessment but because the mere thought of flying made their palms sweat. From terrorism to rail crashes, counseling and "debriefing” are the standard response to help those caught up in disasters.But there are growing doubts about their effectiveness. What might be going wrongDebriefing focuses on getting people to talk through the trauma(创伤)and its emotional consequences soon after the incident.Could it be that some people are better by distancing themselves from what happened, rather than retelling it |
