2Both groups proved their ability to do any kind of job. Women became railway conductors, brick layers, and factory workers. Their presence in traditionally male workplace produced many problems. Men were annoyed by women’s higher productivity and willingness to work for lower pay. Working mothers were often criticized for leaving their families. But many women welcomed the responsibilities. “It was not until our men were called overseas,” said one woman bank executive, “that we make any real onslaught on the realm of finance, and became tellers, managers of departments, and junior and senior officers.”
3Women who did not take jobs helped in the war effort in other ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance the war.
4American manufacturers offered jobs to large numbers of black Americans for the first time as a result of the war. Most factories were located in the North. To take advantage of these new job opportunities, many black families moved from their homes in the South to the Northern cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit.
5White Americans were of two minds about the role of black Americans in the war effort. On the one hand, black workers’ ability to learn new jobs quickly and do them well strengthened the home front, and the black men’s fighting ability helped the Allies win the war. However, many whites did not want to acknowledge that blacks were capable, effective workers. White soldiers returning from the war had no desire to compete for jobs with blacks on equal terms. At the same time, many blacks were not willing to a lesser role once the war had ended.

答案
小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:C
小题4:A
解析
试题分析:本文向读者介绍了第一次世界大战期间,一些美国人由于战争而间接地受益。这些受益者主要是两类人:黑人和妇女。
小题1:C推理判断题。根据第一段可知,在第一次世界大战期间,白人男人参战,加上没有外来
移民,所以劳动力缺乏,从而为黑人和妇女创造了就业机会。
小题2:B推理判断题。根据第三段“Women who did not take jobs helped in the war effort in other
ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance
the war.”。可知,并非所有的妇女都去工作了,而是以其它方式参与了战争。
小题3:C主旨大意题。第一段为主题段,根据第一段第一句During the First World War, some
Americans indirectly benefited because of the war.可知文章将主要介绍两类人间接受益于第一次世界
大战,即黑人和妇女。
小题4:A篇章结构题。文章分成三个并列层次:第一段为主题段,第二段和第三两段主要是讲妇女在战争中工作的情况,而第四段和第五段两段侧重介绍黑人在战争中工作的状况。故答案为A。

举一反三
When you leave it, lock it!
First of all, fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door. Secondly, use them! If you have any ladders or tools, don’t leave them lying about in the garden, lock them away. “Safe” or “secret” places for keys and valuables are not reliable - nine times out of ten, they are the first place a thief will look.
When you move house...
When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks, change them. You don’t know who else may have keys.
Never let strangers into your house. An official - looking cap is not enough, ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully - if you are still not satisfied, don’t let the person in.
Valuables need special protection
Valuables should really be given special protection - preferably by leaving them with your bank. A small security safe works too, but not to the most determined burglar. It is also important to keep an up - to - date list of valuables and their descriptions. In the case of fine art, paintings, or jewelry, color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen. Enter the details on the back of the pictures. But don’t keep such documents in your house, keep them at the hank or with your insurance company.
Going on holiday?
Don’t talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public. Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back.
Operate a “Good Neighbor” program to ensure that mail is taken in, the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on.
Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away. Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble.
Don’t leave cash or valuables in the house—take them with you or put them in the bank.
小题1:How should you deal with your ladders or tools?

C.never let officials into your house unless he wears an official cap |
D.stay away from strangers |
A.taking a color photo of it |
B.keep them at the bank |
C.keep the picture in your house |
D.keep them with your insurance company |
A.should cancel your mail |

Most people know that awkward feeling when you shuffle(拖着鞋走)into an elevator with other people and try not to make eye contact.
But new research suggests it may be down to a subconscious power struggle being played out as you make your way up or down.
A study found that people decide where they stand based on a micro social hierarchy,established within seconds of entering the lift.
Rebekah Rousi,a Ph.D.student in cognitive science,conducted all ethnographic study of elevator behaviour in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide,Australia.
As part of her research,she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings,and discovered there was an established order to where people tended to stand.
In a blog for Ethnography Matters,she writes that more senior men seemed to direct themselves towards the back of the elevator cabins.
She said,“In front of them were younger men,and in front of them were women of all ages.”
She also noticed there was a difference in where people directed their gaze half way through the ride.
Men watched the monitors,looked in the side mirrors(in one building)to see themselves,and in the door mirrors(of the other building)to also watch others.
Women would watch the monitors and avoid eye contact with other users(unless in conversation)and the mirrors,she writes.
The doctorate student concluded it could be that people who are shyer stand toward the front,where they can’t see other passengers,whereas bolder people stand in the back,where they have a view of everyone else.
小题1:According to the passage,where do women likes to stand in the lift?
A.At the back. | B.At the front. |
C.In the middle. | D.On the right. |
A.The manner people went into the lift. |
B.The limited space in the lift. |
C.The subconscious power struggle. |
D.The micro social hierarchy. |
A.To enjoy the tallest office building. |
B.To make a study of elevator behavior. |
C.To go to work there. |
D.To experience the ride by elevator. |
A.Women are more attentive than men in the lift. |
B.Both women and men like to watch the monitors in the lift. |
C.The shyer you are,the more likely you are to stand at the back in the lift. |
D.Why where you stand in the lift reflects your social status. |
I spent the summer working with my vet to find things to help Toto,but nothing works.Since we can’t stand the smell of cat urine in the house,two weeks ago I took drastic measures.I banished Toto outside.(She gets to come in while I work,but I put her out for 80%of the day and night.)
Because Toto now lives outside,she eats and drinks outside.I’ ve set up a heating pad on the porch.and given her own food and water area nearby.She seems perfectly content with this arrangement except when she’s out of food,or she wants to be petted.
Strangely enough,she’s been out of food a lot lately.“I think another cat is eating Toto’s food.”I told Kris when I first noticed how quickly she was going through her bowl.
“Actually,”I said a couple of days later,“maybe it’s a dog.Whoever is eating Toto’s food keeps knocking the bowl over.”
But a few days after that,I realized that the food thief probably wasn’t even a dog.Whatever the critter(动物)was,it was messy. Every morning,Toto’s water dish was filled with mud.The food bowl was tipped over and the porch scattered with mud and debris(残渣).“I’ ll bet it’s a coon(浣熊),”I told Kris.Though we live in a residential neighborhood not far from Portland,we’ ve seen plenty of raccoons in the six years since we moved in.
Today I got to see the cat-food thievery first-hand.Turns out it’s not one raccoon-it’s a family of four.I was lucky enough to have my camera handy as they performed their daring raid:My favorite part of this video is how Toto simply sits on her heating pad and watches the raccoons eat her food.She isn’t bothered at all.
小题1:Which of the following about Toto is true?
A.She is physically sharp. |
B.She is at least sixteen years old. |
C.She can’t use a litter box properly. |
D.She stays outside all the while recently. |
A.drove away or forced somebody or something to leave |
B.put away or stored something |
C.protected somebody or something from being harmed |
D.threw something away |
A.How Toto fought against the raccoons. |
B.A family of raccoons stole the food together. |
C.Toto’s casual attitude toward the raccoons. |
D.How the raccoons made the writer’s porch dirty. |
A.My Aged Cat | B.A Banished Cat |
C.An Unforgettable Experience | D.The Raccoons on My Porch |
The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter,and change throughout life.Most of us can,at very high speed,assume the statuses that various situations require.Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us.This means that we fit our actions to those of other people,based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation.Although some of us find the task more difficult than others.most of us perform it rather effortlessly.
A status has been compared to ready-made clothes.Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and fabric.But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince.We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society.Further more,our choice is limited to a size that will fit,as well as by our pocketbook.Having made a choice within these limits,we can have certain alterations made,but apart from minor adjustments.We tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks.Statuses too come ready made,and the range of choice among them is limited.
小题1:In the first paragraph the writer tells us that statuses can help us_________.
A.protect ourselves in unfamiliar situations |
B.make friends with other people |
C.determine whether a person is fit for a certain job |
D.behave appropriately in relation to other people |
A.in order to identify themselves with others |
B.as the situation changes |
C.in order to better identify others |
D.as their mental processes change |
A.judgment | B.appreciation | C.involvement | D.presentation |
A.identification of other people’s statuses |
B.fitting our actions to those of other people appropriately |
C.selecting one’s own statuses |
D.constant mental process |
A.different people have different styles of clothes |
B.ready-made clothes may need alterations |
C.our choice of statuses is limited |
D.statuses come ready made just like clothes |
The time that is spent gardening together builds precious memories within their hearts and minds for years to come. When you are gardening with your children, try to give them their own special area. Keep their area in the center of the best soil and light, as you want to make sure of a successful gardening experience.
Plastic tools easily break and are difficult to use in the dirt, so when you are gardening with your children, give them real tools to use if possible. Even offering to let them use your tools is a way to admit the worth of the work they are doing. It is also important to talk with your children about the whole process of gardening, from planting to the harvest. They need to understand how things work and the importance of what they are doing.
Show off the children’s gardening work by taking friends and visitors for a walking tour through the garden and point out the children’s particular spot. When you give attention to the children’s work, this is a great motivation(动机) for children to continue wanting to be involved. Do not force children to take part when they are in a bad mood or if they are becoming bored. Instead, allow them to do something different, like building a scarecrow(稻草人)! This makes the gardening experience even more interesting. As you work together side by side with your children, you will encourage a love of the land in them, as well as create lasting memories of time spent with you.
小题1:What is the text mainly about?
A.Teaching children how to garden. |
B.Giving children the chance to show off |
C.Helping children realize the importance of work. |
D.Sharing the joy of gardening with children. |
A.It makes your friends believe your children are smart. |
B.It helps you gain more confidence in your children. |
C.It encourages children to continue doing such work. |
D.It attracts your friends to take part in your gardening. |
A.Children | B.Parents | C.Farmers | D.Teachers |
