Passage Four

Equal pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they are looked down upon by the society. They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work.

People who hold the opposite opinion(mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women; a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make important decisions, and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time job, they will be unable to do the things they are supposed to. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society.

"This is exactly what they want to give up, "the women who disagree say. "They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill, and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life, or a mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities."

These women have expressed their opinions forcefully by using the famous saying, "All men are created equal." They point out that the meaning of this sentence is "all human beings are created equal."

48. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to demand that______.

A. women's work shouldn't be harder than men's

B. men should be paid less than women

C. people doing harder work should earn more

D. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work

听力原文： In 1966, the Third National Conference on the Status of Women reported that, aside from having the vote, women were discriminated against in almost every other aspect of American life. It became apparent to a small group of delegates to the conference that the only way to bring about change was to form. an organization of their own. And so the National Organization for Women(NOW)was born. The first meeting was held later that same year and attracted three hundred men and women form. all parts of the country. It was the first effort to bring people together on the national level to work on equal opportunities for the female population. Since then, the National Organization for Women has grown to a membership of 100,000 and has over seven hundred chapters worldwide. NOW has helped to bring about important changes in attitudes toward women and to give them new political, economic and social rights. Although there are still areas in which women are looked down upon, they generally agree that more choices are open to them today than ever before. This is nowhere more apparent that in their participation in the workforce. In the United States, more than one-half of the women over sixteen work, and more than ever they are filling the so-called "men-only jobs". Women are choosing to become auto mechanics, police officers, and ministers. Even though these jobs bring with them a great degree of satisfaction, they often create a unique set of circumstances.

(27)

A．Because it was the only way to bring about changes.

B．Because it offered more opportunities for jobs.

C．Because women did not have votes.

D．Because it was a sign Lo show that women have equal rights.

听力原文： The water clock was an ancient clock. It could be used on cloudy days, at night, and indoors. Such clocks were probably first used in Egypt [26] about 2,000 B.C.. They were also used for many years in Arabia, India, China, and all of Europe.

The simplest water clock needed just two parts—a small bowl and a large bowl. The small bowl had a tiny hole in the bottom; the large bowl was divided into equal parts, and marked by lines. [27] Water was poured into the small bowl, and it fell slowly down into the large bowl in tiny drops. Usually it took an hour for the water to rise from one line to the next in the large bowl.

A beautiful water clock was made in Persia over a thousand years ago. It was presented as a gift to the Emperor of France. This water clock could be heard as well as seen. The dial of the clock was made up of twelve doors, each representing an hour. [28] Every hour a door opened, and the proper number of metal balls dropped onto a thin brass plate to strike the hour. At twelve o'clock, twelve tiny horsemen came out and shut all the doors. This was probably one of the first striking clocks.

Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are two passages iⅡthis part． Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D．You should decide on the best choice．

Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:

Passage One

The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them．

The reality is very different．Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men．

They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider．And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children．

All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite．

The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories．It is a sort of work women do．Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them．

Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers． Not a lot of men among that group, are there？

Yet some of those jobs are really important．Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start．

So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly？ There can be only one answer—because they are women．

This is not going to be put right overnight． But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start．

It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens．

Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men()．

A． after 25 years

B． according to the law

C． as a result of the Equal Pay Act

D． because women are as strong as men

听力原文： Ants have an amazing ability to communicate with each other and work together to accomplish complex tasks. Their specialized behavior. (30) due to chemical communication is so well developed that humans can learn a lot from them about how best to work in teams. British scientists at the University of Bristol are studying colonies of army ants to understand how they organize themselves and share knowledge. These insects are known for using their bodies as living plugs to cover holes on the rough terrain between their nest and their prey. When they encounter a hole in their path, they quickly determine which of them is the best fit. The appropriate ant then lies across the gap, allowing the remainder of the group to step on its back. (31) This important minority of ants maximizes the food collection of the entire colony by literally "paving the way" for the others.

The collective behavior. that emerges from a group of social insects, such as ants, can be called "swarm intelligence". Swarm intelligence consists of the self-organization of many individuals that work collectively to find the best solution for a difficult problem. The concepts of swarm intelligence have been used in a variety of human applications. (32) "Ant colony maximization" has been mimicked as a routing method that improves the efficiency of cargo transfers on airplanes, and has even become a routing technique for moving data across telecommunications networks more smoothly. I guess you could say that our daily lives benefit from the tireless work of ants.

(27)

A．Humans got equal teamwork with ants.

B．Ants usually accomplish the most complex tasks.

C．Ants communicate through chemicals.

D．Ants have an amazing ability to specialize behavior.

听力原文： Australia, the last continent to be "discovered", was sighted by Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish ships in the 17th century. No colonies followed at that time, however, as these nations were less interested in colonizing than in exploring. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English who established the permanent settlements in Australia.

The history and geography of these two former British colonies have other things in common as well.

Australia and the United States are about equal in size, and barren western portions of the two bear a close physical resemblance. It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to expand to the west. However, this westward expansion occurred more because the colonists were searching for better land than because the population was increasing. Settlement of the western part of both countries quickened after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.

Although the parallels in the development of these two countries are striking, there are some sharp contrasts as well. The United States gained its independence from the English by revolution, whereas Australia was granted its independence without having to go to war.

Australia, unlike the United States, was originally colonized by English convicts, and its economy was rooted in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Yet, in spite of these and other major differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.

(27)

A．The Dutch.

B．The Portuguese.

C．The Spanish.

D．The English.

Passage Four

Archimedes was a famous Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born around 287 BC and he died in the year 212 BC.

Archimedes is most well-known for one specific idea that he came up with. "Archimedes's Principle" states that a solid object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that the object moves. For example, if you put a piece of wood and a piece of gold the same size in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and gold move the same amount of water, but the wood weighs less than this water, while the gold weighs more.

It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the king of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. The king wanted to know if his crown was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The king, of course, did not melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out of the tub. He decided to use the same idea for the crown. He knew that a gold crown immersed in water would weigh more than one made of silver. The experiment was done and the goldsmith was proved guilty of trying to cheat the king.

48. A good title for the selection is______.

A. Archimedes

B. Archimedes's Principle

C. A Gold and Silver Crown

D. The King of Syracuse
