四川省成都市第七中学2017届高三二诊 】 C
On 8th March
this year, events marking International
Women’s
Day (IWD) were held in
many countries around the world. In
most countries the events have a
political tone: they tend
to
celebrate the advances women have made
towards economic,
social and political
equality with men, and to press for
change in those areas of life
where there is still
progress to
be made.
In other countries,
meanwhile, 8th March is traditionally
more about expressing an appreciation
of women: it is a
day on which
men give presents to their wives,
girlfriends
and mothers, and it
therefore has some similarities with St
Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Back in 1911, the first IWD
events in Austria, Denmark,
Germany
and Switzerland were certainly political.
They were
protests by women against
forms of gender discrimination that
would now be unthinkable in most
parts of the world:
almost nowhere
were women allowed to vote, and
Finland was
the only country with
any female members of a national
parliament. The general expectation
worldwide, across different
continents
and cultures, was that women would
spend their
lives largely in the
home, devoting themselves to looking
after their husbands and children.
The rate of women who
had paid
employment was far lower than today,
and when
women did go out to
work they typically earned very little,
meaning they were economically
dependent on men.
A century later,
gender inequality in employment—particularly
pay inequality—is still one of the
hottest issues IWD tries
to draw
attention to: it remains common, of
course, for
women to earn less
than men for doing exactly the same
job.
Limited educational
opportunities (there are many countries
in
which girls generally stay fewer
years in school than boys)
and
domestic violence towards women have
also been highlighted
by events
surrounding IWD in recent years.
And
yet, as the IWD website notes, As
just one example,
to return to the
issue of women elected to office, the
change over the last hundred years
has been significant.
Since 1911,
when the small group of women in the
Finnish
parliament (nineteen of them,
to be exact) were the only
females
in public office worldwide, the
governments of more
than fifty
different countries have been led by
women. In
2011, at least one
country in every continent has a
female
leader, including high-profile
examples such as Brazil (Dilma
Rousseff), Germany (Angela Merkel) and
Australia (Julia Gillard).
1. According
to the passage, which of the following
is true?
A. 100 years ago, women
were not allowed to work outside.
B. IWD is equal to St Valentine’s
Day and Mother’s Day
in some
countries.
C. Finland was the first
country with female employment.
D.
Pay inequality is a hot issue for
IWD.
2. Which word below is clo sest

for” in Paragraph 1?
A.
prevent________ B. urge________ C.
express________ D. want
3. Which of the
following is the missing sentence in

B.

expectations
C. there’s still a long
way to go to achieve the set
goals
D. alongside the ‘negatives’
there are plenty of
‘positives’
4. We can conclude from the passage
that________ .
A. the progress in
gaining equality in the last century
seems to be too slow
B.
the concept of equal pay for equal
work is completely
accepted in
practice
C. much has been achieved
in gender equality, but still
there
is space for improvement
D. one or

women’s
social status on the whole

【广西玉林市、贵港市2017届高中毕业班质量检测】 D
While dog
keepers realize their dogs can read
their moods
accurately,scientists have
always been a little
thanks to
some researchers at the University of
Veterinary
Medicine in Vienna,Austria,we
finally have some convincing
evidence.
For their study, biologist Corson
Miller and his team
exposed eleven
selected dogs to digital images of
women that
were either angry or
happy. Half the dogs were rewarded
for touching the screen when shown
a happy face, while the
other half
got their treat for selecting those
that appeared
angry.
Interestingly,
the dogs were not provided with the
entire
face. Some dogs were shown
only upper halves while the
others
observed lower halves. That’s because
the scientists
believe humans show
their emotions on their entire face.
After some training like how to
recognize small differences
like the
wrinkles between the eyes or the
changes in their
shape that
accompany the happy or angry
expressions, the
dogs were mostly
able to identify the correct expression
not
only on a familiar face but
on a strange face. The
researchers
concluded the dogs were smart enough
to read
human emotions.
They also
found those being trained to read
angry
expressions took a longer time
to learn. They guess it may
be
because dogs find angry faces
disgusting, causing them to
withdraw
quickly. However, once the smart dogs
realized they
were getting rewarded,
the trepidation seemed to disappear. In
fact, the dogs had such a good
time playing the computer
from the touch screens
after the study was completed.
The
researchers also noticed only dogs with
a male owner
had a harder time
understanding the expressions correctl y .
Since the touchscreen models were
all females, this confirmed
what has
been observed in previous studies-dogs
are more
efficient at reading facial
expressions of people that are
the
same gender as their owner.
1. How
did the scientists conduct the experiment?
A.
By mixing the selected dogs together.
B. By leaving dogs to women who
are either happy or
angry.
C.
By showing digital pictures of women’s
happy or angry
faces.
D. By
rewarding only half of the dogs
touching the screen.
2. Which of the
following statements is TRUE about the dogs in the
study?
A. The dogs were not all
provided with the entire face.
B.
The dogs couldn’t read strangers facial
emotions.
C. According to their
size,the dogs were given either upper
or lower halves.
D. The dogs
could make out small changes
accompanying
facial expressions.
3.
The underlined word
means____________________
.
A. curiosity________ B. horror________
C. excitement________ D. doubt
4. How
might the results change if the dogs with female
owners are shown
pictures of male faces?
A. They would be scared away at the
sight of the
pictures.
B. They
found it easy to tell the emotions
on the
entire face.
C. They
could only tell emotions on partial
faces rather
than on entire faces.
D. They found it hard to tell
the moods on the faces
of a
different gender.
