a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor(接任者)to Lawrence Summers .
The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American
South and dean of Harvard"s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university"s 28th president.
"This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard." James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential
search committee, said in a statement. "Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb
scholar, a dedicated(献身的) teacher, and a wonderful human being."
Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers" comments that genetic
differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.
Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women"s college was
combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues(性别问题).
Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president
who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last
four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.
Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles
Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University
of Pennsylvania.
"Teaching staff turned to her constantly," said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University
of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. "She"s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she"s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she"s so solid."
1. Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. Harvard named its 1st female president.
B. History of Harvard University changed.
C. Debates on female equality ended.
D. Drew Gilpin Faust, a famous woman historian.
2. Lawrence Summers held the view that ________.
A. women cannot achieve as much as men in management
B. women cannot hold important positions in society
C. women can match men in science jobs
D. few women make top scientists owing to genes
3. The underlined word "groused" in the 6th paragraph means ________.
A. approved
B. commented
C. complained
D. indicated
4. This passage probably appears in a ________.
A. biography
B. personal letter
C. research paper
D. newspaper
答案
核心考点
试题【阅读理解 Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first fem】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
1._____
The colored part of the eye is called the iris. There are three basic eye colours ─ brown, blue and
green. A few albino people have red or pink eyes, but these are very rare. Many people believe that
blue eyes are more delicate than brown eyes. In fact they are just as tough as brown eyes, although they
are more sensitive to light.
2.______
We only see part of the eyeball, although the whole eye is as big as a table tennis ball. Light enters the eye
through the pupil and passes through the lens. The lens focuses the light onto the retina at the back of the
eye. The retina sends the signal to the brain along the optic nerve. The image on the retina is actually
upside-down, but the brain corrects it. As we get older our eyesight becomes worse. This happens
because the lens isn"t as flexible as when we are young and the eye muscles are weaker.
3._____
Our eyes are the most important of our five senses. We receive 80% of our information about the
world through our eyes. We also send signals to other people with our eyes. Some eye signals are
unconscious. When we look at something nice, our pupils get bigger. But when we don"t like something,
they become smaller. We cry when we are unhappy and sometimes when we are very happy. But we
can also control some eye signals. For example, we can wink at someone or raise an eyebrow.
Sunglasses make someone appear mysterious or dangerous, because they hide that eyes and so we can"t
see the signals.
4._____
We find large eyes more attractive. Children have large eyes in proportion to their heads. Cartoon
characters always have large eyes, too. We can"t actually change our eyes, but we can make them look
bigger with make-up. Eye make-up isn"t new. Pictures in the Pyramids show that the ancient Egyptians
both men and women-used it. False eyelashes can make eyelashes longer. Eye shadow on the eyelids
can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic．Glasses can also make eyes look bigger.
5. _______
We do not normally look into someone"s eyes for long, especially when they are very close. Eye
contact can be very threatening, so people only do it when they want to threaten someone. It is also
very intimate. This is why lovers gaze into each other"s eyes. It"s also why people don"t look at each
other in lifts.
A. Ways to beautify eyes
B. Proper use of eye contact
C. Techniques of sending eye signals
D. Colours of people"s eyes
E. Functions of different parts of the eye
F. Variety of messages conveyed through
(点击) away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends
online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.
"I don"t often talk with my parents or grand-parents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said
Fox"s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. "Most of my classmates use QQ after
school."
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A recorder from Tencent, the company which
developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October. And probably Fox"s
Shadow was one of them. "I log in(登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturdays when I feel everything around
me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting on-line every week," she said. "But I never talk with
strangers, especially boys or men."
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. "You don"t
know who you"re talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online." Many
people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to know someone very well. Fox"s
Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself
and they went to a football match together.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ uses. "I used to chat on QQ, but
I found that most people were talking about foolish things," he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. "I only chat online because I"ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore," he said. "I want to
learn more about foreign cultures." But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of
time and money.
"If you are really addicted to(沉溺于) it, sometimes you can"t give your mind to your lessons," he
said. "And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet
online."
B. have the same interest
C. have enough free time
D. have nothing to do
B. a good place to spend her time when bored
C. a safe place to chat with strangers
D. the best place to make friends
B. it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friends
C. it is possible to live much closer to your friends
D. it is popular to make friends
B. Chatting online is a waste of time and money.
C. We should be careful about boys or men online.
D. We should think more of our friends on real life.
B. Tencent is also a big user of QQ in China.
C. It shows that 4 million people used QQ one Friday night in October.
D. Young people like communicating with others through QQ.
