19、after primary school, though some attended private catholic finishing schools. there they learned a little about music, art, needlework, and how to make polite conversation. this was not the sort of education that interested maria or her mother. by this time, she had begun to take her studies more s

20、eriously. she read constantly and brought her books everywhere. one time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. that meant attending the public high school, something that very few girls did. in ital

21、y at the time, there were two types of high schools: the classical schools and the technical schools. in the classical schools, the students followed a very traditional program of studies, with courses in latin and greek language and literature, and italian literature and history. the few girls who

22、continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school. the technical schools were more modern than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages, mathematics, science, and accounting. most people including marias

23、father believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.maria did not care if it was proper or not. math and science were the subjects that interested her most. but before she could sign up for the technical s

24、chool, she had to win her fathers approval. she finally did, with her mothers help, though for many years after, there was tension in the family. marias father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.in 1883, at age thirteen, maria entered the regia scuola tecnica michelangelo buo

25、narroti in rome. her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. though the courses included modern subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. students were not supposed to ask quest

26、ions or think for themselves in any way. teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.56. in those days, most italian girls_. a. went to classical schools b. went to finishing schools c. did not go

27、 to high school d. went to technical schools57. marias father probably_. a. had very modern views about women b. had very traditional views about women c. had no opinion about women d. thought women could not learn latin58. high school teachers in italy in those days were_. a. very modern b. very in

28、telligent c. quite scientific d. quite strict59. we can infer from this passage that_. a. girls usually attended private primary schools b. only girls attended classical schools c. girls did not like going to school d. maria was a girl of strong willbpeople have been painting pictures for at least 3

29、0,000 years. the earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. they used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in france and spain. no one knows why they were painted there. perhaps the painters thou

30、ght that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories according to pictures. about 5,000 years ago, the egyptians and other people in the near east began to use pictures as kind of writing. they drew simple pictures or signs to rep

31、resent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. the signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.the egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together. when an important person died, scenes and stories from his

32、 life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories. it has been said that egypt is the home of the comic strip. but, for the egyptians, pictures still had magic power. so they did not try to make their way of writin

33、g simple. the ordinary people could not understand it.by the year 1,000 bc, people who lived in the area around the mediterranean sea had developed a simpler system of writing. the signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the egyptian system. this was because eac

34、h sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. the greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the greek alphabet. the romans copied the idea, and the roman alphabet is now used all over the world.these days, we can write down a story, or record information, without usin

35、g pictures. but we still need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. we find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a s

36、tory much more interesting.60. pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in france and spain because_. a. the hunters wanted to see the pictures b. the painters were animal lovers c. the painters wanted to show imagination d. the pictures were thought to be helpful61. the greek alphabet

37、 was simpler than the egyptian system for all the following reasons except that_. a. the former was easy to write b. there were fewer signs in the former c. the former was easy to pronounce d. each sign stood for only one sound62. which of the following statements is true? a. the egyptian signs late

38、r became a particular alphabet. b. the egyptians liked to write comic strip stories. c. the roman alphabet was developed from the egyptian one. d. the greeks copied their writing system from the egyptians.63. in the last paragraph, the author thinks that pictures _. a. should be made comprehensible

39、b. should be made interesting c. are of much use in our life d. have disappeared from our lifectaste is such a subjective matter that we dont usually conduct preference tests for food. the most you can say about anyones preference is that its one persons opinion. but because the two big colacompanie

40、scoca-cola and pepsi cola are marketed so aggressively, weve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. we set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either coca-cola or pepsi fans: find your brand in a blind tasting.we invited staff volunt

41、eers who had a strong liking for either coca-cola classic (传统型) or pepsi, diet (低糖的) coke, or diet pepsi. these were people who thought theyd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.we eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. then we fed them four unide

42、ntified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. we asked them to tell us whether each sample was coke or pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.gettin

43、g all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. in the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. the diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 of 27

44、 identified all four samples correctly.while both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. two people got all four samples wrong. overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as o

45、n the first, so tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. our preference test results suggest that only a few pepsi participants and coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.64.according to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to _.a. show t

46、hat a persons opinion about taste is mere guess-workb. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinksc. find out the role taste preference plays in a persons drinkingd. reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers65.it is implied but not stated in the first paragraph tha

47、t _. a. the competition between the two colas is very strongb. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fansc.the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colasd. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies66. the word “burnout” (line3, para. 5) refers to the

48、state of _. a. being seriously burnt in the skin b. being badly damaged by fire c. being unable to function because of excessive use d. being unable to burn for lack of fuel67.the authors purpose in writing this passage is to _.a. emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each otherb. re

49、commend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colasc. show that taste preference is highly subjectived. argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategydour senses arent just delivering a strict view of whats going on in the world; theyre affected by whats going on in

50、 our heads. a new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people whove just eaten. psychologists have known for decades that whats going on inside our head affects our senses. for example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think p

51、ictures of food are brighter. rmi radel of university of nice sophia-antipolis, france, wanted to investigate how this happens. does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brains high-1evel thinking processes get involved. radel recruited 42 student

52、s with a normal body mass index. on the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. then they were told there was a delay. some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. so half the stud

53、ents were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten. for the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. one by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. they flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously pe

54、rceive. a quarter of the words were food-related. after each word, each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words theyd seen-a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it. hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception, not in thinking processes, radel says. this i
