As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up
21、of a dowry (嫁妆). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry was the wifes right to receive a tenth of all her husbands property. The wife had the right to w
22、ith hold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.edited by SPt68
23、The wife shared in the management of her husbands personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of
24、 Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miros persona
25、l inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position. 51.Originally, the purpose of a dowry is
26、 to_. A give a woman the right to receive all her husbands property B help a woman to enjoy a higher position in the family C protect a woman against the risk of desertion D both A and C 52.According to the passage, the legal status of the wife in marriage was_. A higher than that of a single woman
27、B higher than that of her husband C lower than that of her husband D the same as that of her husband 53. Why does the author give us the example of Maria Vivas? A To show that the wife shared in the management of her husbands personal property. B To show that the wife can defend her own inheritance.
28、 C To prove that women have powerful position. D To illustrate how women win her property. 54.The compensation Maria Vivas got for the field is_. A some of the land Miro had inherited B a tenth of Miros land C money for household expenses D money form Miros inheritance 55. The authors attitude towar
29、ds Maria Vivas is_. A sympathetic B disapproval C indifferent D objectivePassage 2edited by SPt68A few common misconceptions. Beauty is only skin-deep. One' s physical assets and liabilities don' t count all that much in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best. Over t
30、he last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not- so-beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than most of us realize. The data suggest, for example, the physically attractive individuals are more likel
31、y to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted. Un-American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists hav
32、e caught us mouthing pieties (虔诚) while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give each member of a group-college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporate personnel managers a piece of paper relating an individual' s accomplishments. Attached to th
33、e paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly attractive person, some an average-looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anyt
34、hing from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted. Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good
35、. In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be t
36、remendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. on another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire (追求) to managerial positions do not get on as well as who may be less attractive
37、. 56. In "Beauty is only skin-deep", "skin-deep" can be replaced by_.A. decorating B. superficial C. expressive D. demanding 57. "One's physical assets and liabilities don' t count all that much in a managerial career."(paral) can be interpretated as_. A. whethe
38、r or not one looks good or bad, it doesn' t affect much one' s managerial career B. in one' s managerial career, he may deal with cases like assets and liabilities C. in one' s managerial career, he may rarely deal with cases like assets and liabilities D. whether or not one looks go
39、od or bad, it may affect much one' s managerial career 58. The result of research carried out by social scientists show that_. A. people do not realize the importance of looking one' s best B. women in pursuit of managerial jobs are not likely to be paid well C. good -looking women aspire to
40、 managerial positions D. attractive people generally have an advantage over those who are not 59. "Good looks cut both ways for women" (Para.5) means that_. A. attractive women have tremendous potential impact on public job B. good-looking women always get the best of everything C. being a
41、ttractive is not always an advantage for women D. attractive women do not do as well as unattractive women in managerial positions 60. It can be inferred from the passage that in the business world_. A. handsome men are not affected as much by their looks as attractive women are B. physically attrac
42、tive women who are in the public eye usually do quite well C. physically attractive men and women who are in the public eye usually get along quite well D. good looks are important for women as they are for menPassage 3In 1935, the clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman, aged just twentysix, left
43、New York with his fourteenpiece “swing” band and, traveling in a ragtag group of cars, headed for the huge Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles. It was not an easy trip. There were half a dozen dismal, sparsely attended onenighters and three weeks at a dance hall in Denver, where the band was forced to p
44、lay waltzes, tangos, and novelty numbers. On the opening night at the Palomar, the band played ballad numbers in the first set, and there was little response from the dancers. Then one of the musicians said, if they were going to bomb again they might well do it in style. So Goodman called for his h
45、ot, often uptempo arrangements, many of them by the ingenious black bandleader and arranger Fletcher Henderson, and the kids stopped dancing, clustered around the bandstand, and began roaring. Before the weeks at the Palomar were over, it was clear that Goodman had suddenly made jazzstill a suspect
46、and largely subliminal American folk music, despite the brilliant inventions during the previous decade of Jelly Roll Morton and othersinto a popular music. Goodmans surprising ways continued. In 1936, he shook up the white entertainment establishment by hiring two black musiciansthe elegant pianist
47、 Teddy Wilson and the plunging vibraphonist Lione Hampton. (To be sure, Wilson and Hampton did not play in the band; instead, they appeared with Goodman and the drummer Gene Krupa during intermissions.) A year later, when the band went into the Paramount Theater in New York for three weeks, legions
48、of kids appeared, and a screaming, dancing riot nearly took place. It was the first great American show frenzy, and it prepared the way for the Sinatra frenzy of 1947, and for all the Beatles frenzies, and for all the mindless rockborne frenzies of the Seventies and Eighties. Then, on the night of J
49、anuary 16, 1938, Goodman, challenging the longhairs, took his band into a soldout Carnegie Hall. The big band played a dozen numbers, the trio two numbers, and the quartet five numbers. Despite the immediate rumblings from Olin Downes, the Timess classical music critic (“The playing last night, if n
50、oise, speed and beat, all old devices, are heat, was “hot” as it could be, but nothing came of it all, and in the long run it was decidedly monotonous”), Goodmans concert moved jazz even further up the American popular register. 412 words 61. This passage is mainly A a general review of Jazz music.
51、B a biography of Benny Goodman. C about the origin of American folk music. D about how jazz became popular in America. 62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A The bands first music show in Los Angles was an immediate success. B Goodman is considered the father of Ja
52、zz music. C Benny Goodman was unknown to public when he left New York. D The band scheduled to play waltzes, tangos and novelty numbers at a dance hall in Denver. 63. It could be inferred from the passage that A Jazz is a style of music native to America. B Classic music had become outdated at Goodm
53、ans time. C Morton and Goodman were contemporaries. D Goodman was the first bandleader who hired Black musicians in 1930s. 64. The phrase “shake up” (Line 1,Paragraph 2) in the context probably means A to give a very unpleasant shock. B to make changes to an organization. B to get rid of a problem. D to point out, designate. 65. Towards Goodmans music show frenzy, Olin Downes, the classical music critic has A approving attitude. B satirizing attitude. C regretting mind. D exaggerated tone.Passage 4 Development of a widely
