阅读理解（40分）根据下列材料请回答 46～50 题：AThe 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 womendo.Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who does them.Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies, and childcare 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.第 46 题 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

She wanted to be a surgeon （外科医生） , but a serious eye problem forced he r to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman.

共用题干第二篇Medical EducationIn 18th-century colonial America,those who wanted to become physicians either learned as personal students from established professionals or went abroad to study in the traditional schools of London,Paris, and Edinburgh.Medicine was first taught formally by specialists at the University of Pennsylvania,beginning in 1765,and in 1767 at King's College(now Columbia University),the first institution in the colonies to give the degree of doctor of medicine.Following the American Revolution,the Columbia medical faculty (formerly of King's College)was combined with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, chartered in 1809,which survives as a division of Columbia University.In 1893 the Johns Hopkins Medical School required all applicants to have a college degree and was the first to afford its students the opportunity to further their training in an attached teaching hospita'.The growth of medical schools attached with established institutions of earning went together with the development of proprietary（私营的）schools of medicine run for personal profit,most of which had low standards and poor facilities.In 1910 Abraham Rexner,the American education reformer,wrote Medical Education in the United States and Canada,exposing the poor conditions of most proprietary schools. Subsequently，the American Medical Association(AMA)and the Association of American Medical Coleges(AAMC) laid down standards for course content,qualifications of teachers,laboratory facilities,connection with teaching hospitals,and licensing of medical practitioners（开业医师）that survive to this day.By the late 1980s the U.S. and Canada had 142 4-year medical colleges recognized by the Liaison（联络）Committee on Medical Education to offer the M. a degree ; during the 1987-88 academic year,47,262 men and 25,686 women entered these colleges and an estimated 11,752 men and 5,958 women were graduated.Graduates,after a year of internship（实习期）,receive licenses to practice if they pass an examination given either by a state board or by the Nafional Board of Medical Examiners. In l8th-century America,higher institutions of learning that taught medicineA:did not exist.B:were few in number.C:were better than those in Europe.D:were known for thei:teaching hospitals.

Women are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985,Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting（轰动）the University of Texas System administration for not encouraging women.The University was rated认为 among the lowest for the system.In a 1987 update ,Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement. One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs. College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon,said it is important that woman be flexible when it comesto relocating if they want to rise in the ranks. Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus , many times in order for her to succeed , she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work. Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia,inequities will exist存在. "Women need to spend their energies(精力energy) and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University." Spirduso said. "If they do that will be successful in this system.If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time."Which of the following statements is true?（）A、the number of women professors in the University in 1987 was greater than that of 1985B、the number of women professors in the University in 1987 was smaller than that of 1985C、the number of women professors was the same as that of 1985D、more and more women professors thought that sexual discrimination did exit in the University
