Passage FourEqual 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'sB. men should be paid less than womenC. people doing harder work should earn moreD. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work

Reading ComprehensionDirections: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 OneThe 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 yearsB． according to the lawC． as a result of the Equal Pay ActD． because women are as strong as men
共用题干第一篇Women have contributed richly to the achievements of science and engineering in the United States.As pointed out by the National Women's History Project,it is unfortunate that many of these accomplishments have been forgotten,ignored,and even hidden as a result of cultural and social norms.In recent years,there have seen great strides in recognizing the contributions of women in all fields of study.The National Women's History Project,founded in 1980,has been one of the organizations to lead the way.It is an educational nonprofit organization whose mission is to recognize and celebrate the diverse and historic achievements of inventive women.Each year,the National Women's History Project selects women to honor them. Sometimes these honorees paved the way as pioneers;other times they built on the knowledge and work of those who came before them. They are women who advanced our medical science,thrilled us with literature,inspired us with their courage and leadership,and moved us with their art.Who might become the honorees of the National Women's History Project?A:Female doctors.B:Female social activists.C:Female writers.D:All of the above.

共用题干第三篇Iron DeficienciesExperts have observed for years that endurance athletes,particularly females,frequently have iron deficiencies.Now a new study by a team of Purdue University researchers suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron in the blood of women."We found that women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss,"says Roseanne M.Lyle,associate professor at Purdue.Her study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three times a week for six months was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise."Women who consumed additional meat or took iron supplements were able to bounce back,"she notes."But the new exercisers who followed their normal diet showed a significant decrease in iron levels."Iron deficiency is very common among women in general,affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45,respectively.But the ratio is even greater among active women,affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.This means,Lyle says,that"too many women ignore the amount of iron they take in."Women of childbearing age are at greatest risk,since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss.Plus,many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat,which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron.And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight,they may not consume enough iron-rich food,and are liable to experience a deficiency."The average woman takes in only two thirds of the recommended daily allowance of iron," notes another expert."For a woman who already has a poor iron status,any additional iron loss from exercise may be enough to tip her over the edge into a more serious deficiency,"notes the expert. Exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Some iron is lost in sweat,and,for unknown reasons,intense endurance exercise is sometimes associated with bleeding of the digestive system.The best sources of iron,and the only sources of the form of iron most readily absorbed by the body,are meat,chicken,and fish.Good sources of other forms of iron include dates,beans,and some leafy green vegetables.Who will have a significant decrease in iron levels?A:All the women.B:All the inactive women.C:Women who start to do moderate exercise and follow their normal diet.D:Women who start to do moderate exercise and consume additional meat or take iron supplements.

It was Ann′s first experience of flying..She had always been afraid of heights and so was prepared?to be frightened.Only the fact that she was going to meet her son who she had not seen for?three years had given her the courage to make the flight.She sat in her seat,her hands gripping its arms,her seat belt already fastened.The air hostess?was talking,telling everyone what to do in case of emergency,showing them where their life-jackets?were.The plane was crowded,and every seat was full.From her window seat,getting out in a hurry?would be impossible,thought Ann.In any case who would want to get out of a plane in mid-air?The engines began to shake--the noise increased till it was like a great rushing wind.She?looked out to see the runway slip past at astonishing speed.She wanted to cry out--to stop the plane?before it left the ground,but she knew she was trapped in this great roaring machine.I must scream,she told herself,and put her hands over her eyes.There was a strange feeling as if she were going up in a lift.The noise died down.Carefully she?opened her eyes.Through the window she saw a great carpet of cloud above,so beautiful that she?stared in wonder,hardly turning away from the window till they touched down.Why did Ann want to scream?《》（）A.Because the plane didn't leave the ground.B.Because she couldn't make the plane stop.C.Because she couldn't hear the wind.D.Because she couldn't see the runway.
