【題目】It is reported 【1】 gender (性別) differences exist mainly in terms 【2】 sense of space and language ability. But that doesn’t necessarily mean all women have a poor sense of space or all women are good at languages. Women can become excellent drivers as long as they have the courage to challenge 【3】 (tradition) gender roles and believe in themselves.

In London, only one in ten bus drivers is a woman. Yet, according to the results of recent research, women are better at 【4】 (deal) with problem passengers, have fewer accidents and are quicker at learning to drive buses than men.

Connie Wilson 【5】 (become) a bus driver a year ago. “At first, driving 【6】 bus was quite frightening,” she says. “I had no idea of the size of the vehicle or how 【7】 (control) it. But after seven weeks of training, I passed the test first time. Trying to keep to the timetable when the traffic is heavy 【8】 (be) not easy but I like the challenge! Some passengers can be rude, 【9】 (especial) if they’ve had to wait a long time for the bus. But most are pleased to have a woman driver. There is no reason 【10】 women can’t do the job just as well as men. I’d say that to any woman.

【答案】

【1】that

【2】of

【3】traditional

【4】dealing

【5】became

【6】a

【7】to control

【8】is

【9】especially

【10】why

【解析】 通常講，男女的差別體現(xiàn)在空間感和語言能力上。在但這并不一定意味著所有的女性都有很差的空間感，或者所有的女性都擅長語言。只要有勇氣挑戰(zhàn)傳統(tǒng)的性別角色，相信自己，女性也能成為優(yōu)秀的司機(jī)。

【1】that it is reported that…為常用句型，其中it作形式主語，真正主語由that引出，意為“據(jù)報道….”。

【2】of in terms of 此處表示“在…方面”。 有報道說，性別差異主要存在于空間和語言能力方面。

【3】traditional 此處須填形容詞，作定語，修飾名詞gender roles。traditional gender roles 傳統(tǒng)的性別角色。

【4】dealing 其前為介詞at，動詞deal作賓語，用動詞-ing形式。 根據(jù)最近研究結(jié)果，與男性相比，女性更擅長于應(yīng)對問題乘客，事故更少，學(xué)習(xí)駕駛更快。

【5】became 根據(jù)時間狀語a year ago “一年前”可以判斷，此處謂語動詞用一般過去時態(tài)。

【6】a 考查不定冠詞，表泛指。“起初，開公共汽車挺嚇人的�！彼f。

【7】to control 疑問副詞how之后經(jīng)常跟不定式形式，在此處與the size of the vehicle并列，作have no idea of的賓語。how to control it如何控制它。

【8】is 分析本句的結(jié)構(gòu)得知，此處為but連接的并列句中前一分句的謂語動詞，主語trying to keep to the timetable when the traffic is heavy為動名詞形式，視作單數(shù)，且一般現(xiàn)在時，因此為is。

【9】especially especially尤其地。副詞用來修飾條件狀語從句。 有些乘客可能變得很粗魯，尤其是他們要等很長時間才能坐上公共汽車。

【10】why why用在reason之后引導(dǎo)定語從句。大多數(shù)人都很高興有一個女司機(jī)。沒有理由說女人不能像男人一樣做這份工作。

【題目】Most people don’t notice I’m polite, which is the point. I am big and look less energetic. Still, every year or so, someone takes me aside and says, “You actually are polite, aren’t you?” I’m always thrilled. They noticed. That’s the thing. Actually, when we talk about politeness, we usually think of please; thank you; I like your hat; etc. All we need to do is to hear, not to notice.

When I was in high school, I read etiquette manuals(禮儀手冊). No one noticed my politeness except for one kid. He yelled at me about it. “It’s strange that you are always so polite,” he said. I took that as praise and made a note to hide my politeness further. Real politeness, I believed, was invisible(看不見的). It adapted itself to the situation.

Politeness leaves door open. I’ve met so many people whom, if I had trusted my first impressions, I would never have wanted to meet again. Yet many of them are now great friends. One of those people is my wife. On our first date, she told me in detail that she had an operation to remove a cyst(囊腫) from her body. Of course, it killed the chemistry. But when I walked her home, I told her I’d had a great time. We talked a little after that. I kept everything pleasant and brief. Much later, I learned that she’d been having a very bad day in a very bad year.

People silently suffer from all kinds of terrible things. The good thing about politeness is you can regard these people exactly the same and wait to see what happens. You don’t have to have an opinion. You don’t need to make a judgment.

Last week, my two-year-old son, Abraham met a foreign woman in the playground. Out of curiosity, I suppose, he asked, “What’s your name?” The woman told him. Then he put out his little hand and said, “Nice to meet you!” Everyone laughed and he smiled. He shared with his firmest handshake, like I taught him.

【1】Why do many people think the author is impolite?

A. Because he doesn’t look polite.

B. Because he seldom says polite words.

C. Because he doesn’t listen to others politely.

D. Because he doesn’t behave politely towards strangers.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The author’s good mangers.

B. The author’s strange behavior.

C. The author always making notes.

D. The author reading etiquette manuals.

【3】What can we learn about politeness according to Paragraph 3?

A. It can help people make friends.

B. It can keep everything pleasant.

C. It can be good for people’s health.

D. It can give people second chances.

【題目】Over the centuries, through genetic and cultural adaptation, humans and a wild bird species have learned to work together .When human honey-hunters make a certain noise, a bird called the honey guide does its job with unbelievable accuracy, leading people to hidden bees' nests.

Scientists put this ancient practice to the test. When biologists compared the honey guide call to other sounds, the traditional sound sent the honey guides to hidden bees nest three times more often than other sounds, according to a study in the journal Science. When you make the right noise, you end up with more honey compared to the wrong noise.

"It's an exchange of information for skills," said study lead author Claire Spottiswoode, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Cambridge.She failed to find bees nests until her friends made the right noise,and then was rewarded with honey that's very rich and delicious.

The honey guide has a special ability to find bees' nests. “Scientists aren't quite sure how it works, but it likely has to do with a sophisticated sense of smell,” Spottiswoode said. Still, there's a problem: These nests are stuck in trees that are difficult for the birds to reach. Even worse, the bees sting the birds, sometime to death.The people of the region, who make a living on the honey, have tools that can get at those nests and they use smoke to chase the bees away, reducing the stinging problem.

It's clear that the birds have adapted in an evolutionary way through natural selection, but for people the arrangement is probably more cultural.

【1】According to the study, when making the wrong noise, people probably will .

A. get more honey

B. find bees’ nests easily

C. have difficulty finding bees’ nests

D. earn more time

【2】What does the underlined word “sophisticated”in the fourth paragraph probably mean?

A. elementary B. Advanced.

C. Plain. D. Poor

【3】What can be learned from the text? ?

A. Scientists have found out how the honey guide works.

B. Honey guides can easily get bees' nests in trees.

C. Honey-hunters are not afraid of stinging problem.

D. The bees are afraid of smoke.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A. The terrible relationship between humans and wild birds.

B. People in the mountains make a living on the honey.

C. The honey guide can help humans find bees’ nests

D. Human honey-hunters’ wonderful life.
