I made the point that one reason were seeing more s

31、tay-at-home dads may be that its no longer a given (a known fact) that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.At that point, one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my ben

32、efits, “It should be the better parent who stays at home”. A lot of guys say things like that.I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so what he said made me excited. It implied that our familys choice could only have been correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.I think men shoot themse

33、lves in the foot with this kind of thinking. I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better” parent: she had spent more time with our son, could read him better and calm him more quickly. And given a choice, hed have picked her over me. But as she w

34、as the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.Know what? I caught up. Because of the increased time I spent with him, I soon knew him well, understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as my wife could.  Actually, the experience helped me unl

35、ock one of the worlds great secrets: Women are good at looking after the children because they do it. Its not because of any born female gift or a mothers instinctwhich I think is mostly learned anyway. Its because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.Women obviously

36、 get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I dont know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass. Other people are capable of looking after them besides Mom.36. Which of

37、 the following does the first paragraph imply?A. Men are no longer given the chance to stay at home as they used to.B. In some families the wives are earning more than their husbands.C. The author is telling the readers that he works in the TV station.D. There are more stay-at- home fathers than sta

38、y-at-home mothers.37. The author decided to stay at home eight years ago because _.A. it was easier for his wife to find a jobB. he thought he was the better fatherC. their son liked him a little bit betterD. he was earning more than his wife did38. Women are better than men at taking care of childr

39、en because _.A. they were born with the abilityB. they love children and enjoy itC. they spend more time doing itD. they have learned it at school39. Which of the following is the authors conclusion drawn at the end?A. He is better than his wife at taking care of children.B. He is as good as his wif

40、e at taking care of children.C. Either fathers or mothers can take care of children.D. Both fathers and mothers cannot take care of children.BCensus figures (调查数据) published last Friday indicate that the number of women in management jobs rose by 95% between 1980 and 1990. Most evidenced shows that

41、women are still in the lowest class of management and in the lowest-paying industries.I first noticed that girls were different from boys when I was about 4 years old. No experiences either in my personal life or in my business life have caused me to change my opinion. Throughout my adult life, howe

42、ver, I have had to evaluate again and again these differences between men and women and how they affect the way men and women relate to one another and to the environment in which they work. Working with women has given me deep understanding I would never have gained in any other way.Women are worki

43、ng at a decided disadvantage in the business world created by men to make things comfortable for men. To me, this means men often understand the rules without having to be taught or even having to think about them. It is not so easy for women. If I may fall back on typically male sports terms, women

44、 have had to learn both the game and the game plan at the same time.At least in my own observation, women in business tend to be more honest than men. A direct question to a woman often results in a direct response. This quality makes it more difficult for women to “yes” an employer. It also makes w

45、omen more trustworthy than the men who often cant, or wont, give a straight answer to a question. Women are also more open than men about their feelings their ambitions, and everyday situations in the office. This makes them easier to be hurt than men. Traditionally, women in business have been more

46、 severely judged than men. They have had to be better in a job than a man to get ahead.40What is this passage mainly about?Athe unfair treatment the working women suffering in businessBthe differences between working men and womenCthe qualities of the working men and womenDthe authors pity on the wo

47、rking women41The author mentions the “sports terms” to show that         .Awomen are more diligent than menBwomen are often looked down upon by menCwomen are slower in learning new things than menDmen always make things comfortable for themselves42How many goo

48、d qualities of women are mentioned in the last paragraph?ATwo.                         BThree.              &#

49、160;  CFour.                  DFive.43Which of the following will most probably be the first sentence of the fifth paragraph?AFor example, I have interviewed many people for the job of advertising salesperson.B

50、Another difference between working men and women is that men take more chances.COf all the differences that I have noticed, one in particular stands out.DOn the other hand, men also enjoy more rights than women.CThe past fifty years or so have seen the gradual disappearing of animals from this earth

51、, fishes from the sea, trees and plants from the land.Many factors result in this on pleasant phenomenon(现象). Among them, hunting is the main factor that endangers wild life. Some people kill wild life for sport. They take pleasure in collecting heads and hides. Yet others specialize in commercial h

52、unting like killing whales.Apart from this, the rapidly growing human population threatens wild life on land, too. Towns expand and roads have to be built, so forests are burnt and trees are cut down. It seems that man needs every inch of land within his reach, so he moves on to the natural habitat

53、of wild life. Tigers lions and leopards slowly die off without the food arm shelter that the forests provide.In addition, rapid urbanization (城市化) means industrial expansion. Very often, poisonous chemicals, industrial wastes and oil are dumped into the rivers and seas. Fish and birds are threatened

54、.Man depends greatly on animals for survival. He needs their flesh, hides and furs. Thus, man cannot, to without wild life; or he himself would die out. The public should be made aware that it would be better to shoot the animals with a camera than with a gun. In this way, they can preserve and help

55、 wild life to continue living rather than to remove all signs of it.Man must learn to farm the sea as he does the land. He should control the amount and the frequency of his catch. Man also needs to build reserves, and to pass laws to stop the killing of animals, especially those that are already ra

56、re. To keep the present animal kingdom, the least that man can do is to clean the seas and to prevent pollution.44. How many causes are mentioned that result in the unpleasant phenomenon?A. 2              B. 3    &#

57、160;           C. 4.               D. 545. The underlined word "habitat" probably means          .A. life   &#

58、160;        B. home             C. land              D. condition46. The writer's purpose in writing the text is to    &#

59、160;     .A. call people's attention to the danger of wild lifeB. explain how important wild life is to human beingsC. call people's attention to serious problems of pollutionD. explain the relationship between wild life and human beings47. It is implied that man

60、0;          .A. should not hunt wildlifeB. will disappear if wild life dies outC. needs land more than wild life doesD. has little knowledge of sea fanningDAfter the face lift, the forehead tightening and the nose job, something might still show an old pe

61、rsons age: his voiceFor patients who think their trembly, hoarse words dont match their newly film face and figure, theres a procedure that claims to make them sound younger too: the voice lift.There are two general kinds of voice lifts. In some cases, implants（植物）are inserted（插入）through an incision

62、（切口）in the neck to bring the vocal cords（声带）closer together. Doctors also inject fat or other substances（物质）to make the cords bigger so that the voice sounds younger“If I spoke a great deal, or I was shouting on a particular day, at the end of the day I would feel very tired,” said Robert Anzidei, 7

63、5, a retired man who had the voice lift several years ago. “I dont know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is a great improvement.”The voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers and telephone operators who need to have strong voices and want to take year

64、s off the sound of their voices48. What is the voice lift in this passage?A. A kind of operation to make a patients voice sound younger.B. Matching a patients voice with his face and figure.C.

65、 in his neck   B. his vocal cords are big and close togetherC. He has a voice lift               D. he has a face lift50. From the last paragraph, we can conclude that_.A. people who get old should have voice liftsB. the

66、 voice lift can reduce ones ageC. performers should have voice liftsD. people who use their voices a lot need strong voices51. What is this passage mainly about?A. That the older one gets, the more possible he will get a trembly voiceB. That people should go and have a voice lift.C. A way to sound y

67、ounger.D. How a voice lift is doneEAll 16 women, who range from 21 to 24 years old, graduated with distinction in five final assessments after 44 months of training at the Third Flying College, the First Flying College and the Aviation University of People's Liberation Army Air Force, reported X

70、numbers to enable women to enter all areas of military service."The 16 newly qualified pilots all underwent 28 months of basic training, which included parachute jumping and field survival training at the in Aviation University of the China Air Force, as well as 16 months of flight training. Ea

72、enrolled at the air force college, with 328 having graduated and 52 now working in air transport, according to official statistics. "With our strict training regime, female pilots can do what men can do," added Wu Huiming, dean of the third flying college.As well as China, 15 other countries allow women to fly fighter jets, including Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Israel, Pakistan and the United States, the latter having trained nearly 300 since females were permitted to enroll at its military flight schools in 1976.Following the end of the Cold War, China has initiat
