A

The other problem that arises from the employment of women is that of the working wife. It has two aspects: that of the wife who is more of a success than her husband and that of the wife who must rely heavily on her husband for help with domestic tasks. There are various ways in which the impact of the first difficulty can be reduced. Provided that husband and wife are not in the same or directly comparable lines of work, the harsh fact of her greater success can be obscured by a genial conspiracy to reject a purely monetary measure of achievement as intolerably crude. Where there are ranks, it is best if the couple work in different fields so that the husband can find some special reason for the superiority of the lowest figure in his to the most elevated in his wife’s.

A problem that affects a much larger number of working wives is the need to re-allocate domestic tasks if there are children. In The Road to Wigan Pier George Orwell wrote of the unemployed of the Lancashire coalfields: “Practically never ... in a working-class home, will you see the man doing a stroke of the housework. Unemployment has not changed this convention, which on the face of it seems a little unfair. The man is idle from morning to night but the woman is as busy as ever - more so, indeed, because she has to manage with less money. Yet so far as my experience goes the women do not protest. They feel that a man would lose his manhood if, merely because he was out of work, he developed in a ‘Mary Ann’.”

It is over the care of young children that this re-allocation of duties becomes really significant. For this, unlike the cooking of fish fingers or the making of beds, is an inescapably time-consuming occupation, and time is what the fully employed wife has no more to spare of than her husband.

The male initiative in courtship is a pretty indiscriminate affair, something that is tried on with any remotely plausible woman who comes within range and, of course, with all degrees of tentativeness. What decides the issue of whether a genuine courtship is going to get under way is the woman’s response. If she shows interest the engines of persuasion are set in movement. The truth is that in courtship society gives women the real power while pretending to give it to men.

What does seem clear is that the more men and women are together, at work and away from it, the more the comprehensive amorousness of men towards women will have to go, despite all its past evolutionary services. For it is this that makes inferiority at work abrasive and, more indirectly, makes domestic work seem unmanly, if there is to be an equalizing redistribution of economic and domestic tasks between men and women there must be a compensating redistribution of the erotic initiative. If women will no longer let us beat them they must allow us to join them as the blushing recipients of flowers and chocolates.

A. work in the same sort of job as her husband.

B. play down her success, making it sound unimportant.

C. stress how much the family gains from her high salary.

D. introduce more labour-saving machinery into the home.

57. Which of the following words is used literally, NOT metaphorically (比喻地)?

A. Heavily (Paragraph One).

B. Convention (Paragraph Two).

C. Engines (Paragraph Four).

D. Abrasive (Paragraph Five).

58. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the present form of courtship?

D. The man leaves himself the opportunity to give up the chase quickly.

B

The first clue came when I got my hair cut.The stylist offered not just the usual coffee or tea but a complimentary nail—polish change while I waited for my hair to dry.Maybe she hoped this little amenity would slow the growing inclination of women to stretch each haircut to last four months while nursing our hair back to whatever natural colour we long ago forgot.

    Then there was the appliance salesman who offered to carry my bags as we toured the microwave aisle.When I called my husband to ask him to check some specs online,the salesman offered a pre-emptive discount,lest the surfing turn up the same model cheaper in another store.That night,for the first time,I saw the Hyundai ad promising shoppers that if they buy a car and then lose their job in the next year,they can return it.

     Suddenly everything’s on sale.The upside to the economic downturn is the immense incentive it gives retailers to treat you like a queen for a day.During the flush times. Salespeople were surly,waiters snobby.But now the customer rules,just for showing up.There’s more room to stretch out on the flight,even in a coach.The malls have that serene aura of undisturbed wilderness,with scarcely a shopper in sight.Every conversation with anyone selling anything is a pantomime of pain and bluff.Finger the scarf, then start to walk away, and its price floats silkily downward.When the mechanic calls to tell you that brakes and a timing belt and other services will run close to $2,000,it’s time to break out the newly perfected art of the considered pause. You really don’t even have to say anything pitiful before he’ll offer to knock a few hundred dollars off.

Restaurants are also caught in a fit of ardent hospitality, especially around Wall Street:Trinity Place offers $3 drinks at happy hour any day the market goes down,with the slogan “Market tanked? Get tanked!”—which ensures a lively crowd for the closing bell. The “21” Club has decided that men no longer need to wear ties,so long as they bring their wallets.Food itself is friendlier: You notice more comfort food,a truce between chef and patron that is easier to enjoy now that you can get a table practically anywhere.New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni characterizes the new restaurant demeanor as “extreme solicitousness tinged with outright desperation.” “You need to hug the customer,” one owner told him.

     There’s a chance that eventually we’ll return all this kindness with the extravagant spending that was once decried but now everyone is hoping will restart the economy.But human nature is funny that way.In dangerous times,we clench and squint at the deal that looks too good to miss,suspecting that it must be too good to be true.Is the store with the super cheap flat screens going to go bust and thus not be there to honour the “free” extended warranty? Is there something wrong with that free cheese? Store owners will tell you horror stories about shoppers with attitude,who walk in demanding discounts and flaunt their new power at every turn.These store owners wince as they sense bad habit forming:Will people expect discounts forever? Will their hard,won brand luster be forever cheapened,especially for items whose allure depends on their being ridiculously priced?

  There will surely come a day when things go back to “normal”;retail sales even inched up in January after sinking for the previous six months.But I wonder what it will take for US to see those$545 Sigerson Morrison studded toe-ring sandals as reasonable?Bargain-hunting can be addictive regardless of the state of the markets,and haggling is a low-risk,high-value contact sport.Trauma digs deep into habit,like my 85-year—old mother still calling her canned-goods cabinet“the bomb shelter.” The children of the First Depression were saving string and preaching sacrifice long after the skies cleared.They came to be called the“greatest generation.” As we learn to be decent stewards of our resources,who knows what might come of it? We have lived in an age of wanton waste,and there is value in practicing conservation that goes far beyond our own bottom line.

59.Which of the following best describes the retailers now?

A.Over-friendly.   

B.Bad-tempered.

C.Highly motivated.

D.Deeply frustrated.

60.What can we conclude from “the newly perfected art of the considered pause”?

A.Customers have learned how to bargain effectively.

  B.Customers have got a sense of somewhat superiority.

C.Customers have gained the upper hand when shopping.

  D.Customers have asked too muchof the service or product.

61. According to the passage, “shoppers... flaunt their new power at every turn” means that shoppers would

A.have more doubts, puzzles or suspicion.

B.like to show off their tremendouswealth.

C. constantly ask for more discounts or favor.

D.like to show that they are on fine finance condition.

62. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

B. The practice of frugality is of overwhelmingsignificance.

C.Extravagant spending would indirectlyboost economic growth.

D. One’s life experience would turn into lifelong habits to some extent.

What Is Integrity?

The key to integrity is consistency—not only setting high personal standards for oneself but also living up to those standards each and every day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life’s hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.

   What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.

“But Everybody Does It”

Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts but manage to fool themselves about the risks they’re taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it,” or “I really need this grade.” Excuses can get very elaborate: “I know I’m looking at another’s exam, but that’s not cheating because I’m just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions and avoid excuses.

 

高三英语—10

To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. If you’d rather hide your actions, that’s an indication that you’re taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.

Evaluating Risks

To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits and simply haven’t considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious and may include a “0” on a test or assignment, an “F” in the class, suspension or dismissal from school and a ruined reputation. This is an extremely vulnerable position. There may be some matters of life and death or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren’t many things that fall in this category.

63. What role does integrity play in personal and professional relationships?

A. It inspires mutual respect.

B. It helps to create team spirit.

C. It is the basis of mutual trust.

D. It facilitates communication.

64. What should one do if he doesn’t wish to fool himself?

A. Avoid making excuses.

B. Make his intensions public.

C. Listen to other people’s advice.

D. Have others watch over his shoulder.

65. Those who take risks they regret later on.

A. are usually very aggressive

B. value immediate benefits most

C. may lose everything in the end

D. will often become more cautious

D

Buck lived in Mr. Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr. Miller’s sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.

高三英语—11

  But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.

     Buck growled, and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.

    When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.

    That evening, the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco. He took off Buck’s rope and pushed him into a wooden box. The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on a train to the north. For two days and nights the train traveled north, and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor drank. For two days and nights Buck got angrier and hungrier and thirstier. His eyes grew red and he bit anything that moved.

    In Seattle four men took Buck to a small, high-walled back garden, where a fat man in an old red coat was wait ng. Buck was now very angry indeed and he jumped and bit at the sides of his box. The fat man smiled and went to get an ax and a club. As the fat man hit the box with his ax, Buck jumped at the sides, growling and biting, pulling with his teeth at the pieces of broken wood. After a few minutes there was a hole big enough for Buck to get out.

“Now, come here, red eyes,” said the fat man, dropping his ax and taking the club in his right hand.

Buck jumped at the man, sixty kilos of anger, his mouth wide open, ready to bite the man’s neck. Just before his teeth touched the skin, the man hit him with the club. Buck fell to the ground. It was the first time anyone had hit him with a club and he did not understand. He stood up, and jumped again. Again the club hit him and he crashed to the ground. There was blood on his nose and mouth and ears. Then the fat man walked up and hit him again, very hard, on the nose. The pain was terrible. Again, Buck jumped at the man and again he was hit to the ground. At last when he jumped, the man knocked him down and he did not move.

 

高三英语—12

“His name is Buck,” said the fat man to himself, reading the letter that had come with the box. “Well, Buck, my boy,” he said in a friendly voice, “we’ve argued a little, and I think the best thing to do now is to stop. Be a good dog and we’ll be friends. But if you’re a bad dog, ...”

    As he spoke, he touched Buck’s head, and although Buck was angry inside, he did not move. When the man brought him water and meat, Buck drank and then ate the meat, piece by piece, from the man’s hand.

    Buck was beaten (he knew that) but he was not broken. He had learnt that a man with a club was stronger than him. Every day he saw more dogs arrive, and each dog was beaten by the fat man. Buck understood that a man with a club must be obeyed, although he did not have to be a friend.

One day a short, dark man came and looked at Buck. “That’s a good dog!” he cried. “How much do you want for him?”

“Three hundred dollars. It’s a good price, Perrault,”said the fat man.

    Perrault smiled and agreed that it was a good price. He knew dogs, and he knew that Buck was an excellent dog. “One in ten thousand,” Perrault said to himself.

    Buck saw money put into the fat man’s hand, and he was not surprised when he and another dog called Curly were taken away by Perrault. He took them to a ship, and later that day Buck and Curly stood and watched the coast get further and further away. They had seen the warm south for the last time.

    Perrault took Buck and Curly down to the bottom of the ship. There they met another man, Franois. Perrault was a French-Canadian, but Franois was half-Indian, tall and dark. Buck learnt quickly that Perrault and Franois were fair men, calm and honest. And they knew everything about dogs.

    There were two other dogs on the ship. One was a big dog called Spitz, as white as snow. He was friendly to Buck at first, always smiling. He was smiling when he tried to steal Buck’s food at the first meal. Franois was quick and hit Spitz before Buck had time to move. Buck decided that this was fair, and began to like Franois a little.

    Dave, the other dog, was not friendly. He wanted to be alone all the time. He ate and slept and was interested in nothing.

One day was very like another, but Buck noticed that the weather was getting colder. One morning, the ship’s engines stopped, and there was a feeling of excitement in the ship. Franois leashed the dogs and took them outside. At the first step Buck’s feet went into something soft and white. He jumped back in surprise. The soft, white thing was also falling through the air, and it fell

 

 

高三英语—13

onto him. He tried to smell it, and then caught some on his tongue. It bit like fire, and then disappeared. It was his first snow.

    Buck’s first day at Dyea Beach was terrible. Every hour there was some new, frightening surprise. And every minute there was danger, because these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They knew only the law of club and tooth.

    Buck had never seen dogs fight like these dogs; they were like wolves. In a few minutes he learnt this from watching Curly. She tried to make friends with a dog. There was no warning. The dog jumped on Curly, whose face was torn open from eye to mouth. Thirty or forty more dogs ran up and made a circle around the fight, watching silently. Curly tried to attack the dog who had bitten her; he bit her a second time, and jumped away. When she attacked him again, he knocked her backwards, and she fell on the ground. She never stood up again, because this was what the other dogs were waiting for. In a moment she was under a crowd of dogs.

    It was all very sudden. Buck saw Spitz run out from the crowd with his tongue out of his mouth, laughing. Then he saw Franois with an ax, and two or three other men with clubs jump in among the dogs. Two minutes later the last of the dogs was chased away. But Curly lay dead in the snow, her body torn almost to pieces. Curly’s death often came back to Buck in his dreams. He understood that once a dog was down on the ground, he was dead. He also remembered Spitz laughing, and from that moment he hated him.

    Then Buck had another surprise. Franois put a harness on him. Buck had seen harnesses on horses, and now he was made to work like a horse with Spitz and Dave, who had worked in a harness before, and Buck learnt by watching them. He also learnt to stop and turn when Franois shouted.

“Those three are very good dogs,” Franois told Perrault. “Buck pulls very well, and he’s learning quickly.”

    Perrault had important letters and official papers to take to Dawson City, so that afternoon he bought two more dogs, two brothers called Billee and Joe.

    That night Buck discovered another problem. Where was he going to sleep? Franois and Perrault were in their tent, but when he went in, they shouted angrily and threw things at him. Outside it was very cold and windy. He lay down in the snow, but he was too cold to sleep.

He walked around the tents trying to find the other dogs. But, to his surprise, they had disappeared. Suddenly, the snow under his feet fell in, and he felt something move. There, in a warm hole under the snow, was Billee.

So that was what you had to do. Buck chose a place, dug himself a hole and in a minute he was warm and asleep. He slept well, although his dreams were bad.

    When he woke up, at first he did not know where he was. It had snowed in the night and the snow now lay thick and heavy above him. Growling, he threw himself at the snow, and a moment later, he had jumped upwards into the daylight.

    Franois and Perrault bought three more dogs that morning, and a quarter of an hour later all the dogs were in harness and on their way up the Dyea Canyon. Buck was not sorry to be moving, and although it was hard work, he almost enjoyed it.

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw tears in his eyes. I handed him his glasses and he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school.

We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Graduation day arrived — I saw Kyle and he looked great. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!”

He looked at me with one of those looks. “Thanks,” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years, your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach… but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.”

I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.”

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not

until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other’s lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

“Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.”

Rock singer-songwriter Wang Feng released his first single in two years, Born in Hesitation, through his micro blog on Nov 13,2013. The song, Wang said, is a salute to those who have experiencedups and downs in life but still embrace dreams.	“If the song Existence, from my last album, was about giving hope, this new song is much sadder and real,” he said on his micro blog. According to his record company, this new song will be on Wang’s new album, which will be released early next year. Wang said his experience as one of the four judges on the popular TV showThe Voice of China in 2013 inspired him to write songs for the new album. “I have witnessed those young contestants fighting for their music dreams on and off the stage,which was very touching and made me think,” he said. “Everyone,
rich or poor, young or old, has to face struggles and confusion. I want to sing what I see and feel.” The 42-year-old Wang, who was born in Beijing and trained as a violinist, has released nine albums since 1997 and is renowned for his powerful live shows. In 2012, he held a concert for 40,000 fans at Beijing Workers’ Stadium. In April he kicked off his biggest national tour so far, which included 15 cities.

Four American teenagers, all children of US military personnel, have been arrested on charges of attempted murder after a woman was knocked off her motorbike with a rope strung across two poles, Japanese police said. The four suspects — two 15-year-old boys, a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man — were taken into custody on Saturday, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said. They are accused of causing a severe head injury to a 23-year-old restaurant employee by stringing a rope between poles across a road. US Forces in Japan was informed of the August incident in late October, a public information officer said. There was no clear explanation for the delay in the handover of the suspects to police, other than it involved rules between Washington and Tokyo covering US forces and their dependents in Japan. The US military presence and its impact on Japanese residents have been a thorny issue over the years.

Iraqi lawmakers are expected to vote on the security agreement by Wednesday, which will keep the US troops here until the end of 2011, the parliament speaker said yesterday. After hours of heated debate, speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani announced that the vote is scheduled for Wednesday, and can be put forward provided parties in the parliament would reach an agreement on the pact. The long-delayed agreement passed the Iraqi cabinet last week and went to the parliament for reviewing. The vote date was originally set for tomorrow. The security agreement will replace the UN mandate to grant US Military presence in Iraq legal status from 2009. The US has agreed to pull troops out of Iraqi cities and towns by mid-2009 and leave Iraq by the end of 2011. The Iraqi government wants the parliament to make the decision before lawmakers would set out for a pilgrimage trip to Mecca next week.

Honduran authorities dedicated to the protection of children and adolescents have undertaken a campaign to protect youngsters who beg on the streets. In the capital of Tegucigalpa alone, the effort has resulted in the rescue of 350 children, city officials say. The Honduran Institute of Childhood and Family, together with the police and the district attorney, carry out operations around the country to rescue the children and punish the parents. “Many children are used for begging,” said Nora Urbina, special prosecutor for children’s issues. “Many children are rented and that is precisely what we want to punish, because Article 170 of the Juvenile Penal Code sets a penalty of up to 6 years in detention.” Those children who were rescued and taken to the Honduran Institute of Childhood and Family and then handed over to their parents with the promise that their rights will be protected. Parents who allow their children to be exploited in this way face, in addition to as many as 6 years in prison, the equivalent of a $500 fine.

A campaign is getting underway in Italy to take back large stretches of the country’s beaches from private bathing clubs, which usually charge to use them. This has been a summer of discontent because despite government efforts, an entire coastline has been monopolized by profiteering bathing clubs. Italy has some of the Europe’s finest beaches, but they are often buried under a mountain of deck chairs and umbrellas. The government says the state owns the shorelines and swimming should be free.

The Northwest braced for blizzards Friday night. Icy roads created from storms this week paralyzed much of the greater Seattle, Washington area, where schools were closed and bus routes were suspended Friday as roads were too icy to navigate. Two charter buses carrying 80 people that collided and skidded off a road were pulled to safety. The buses crashed through a metal railing and hung precariously over Interstate 5 for several hours before two trucks pulled them back on the road. The snowfall closed the airport for several hours and cut into local business hours for retail shops during the busiest shopping season of the year.

Hundreds of emergency workers combed the site of a five-story apartment building in southern Ukraine Thursday after a series of explosions reduced it to rubble, authorities said. The blasts Wednesday night in the Black Sea resort town of Yevpatoria left at least 17 people dead and 24 others missing, according to Igor Krol, a spokesman for the Ukraine’s Emergency Situations Ministry. 21 people have been rescued. “We are now investigating all possible reasons for the explosions,” Krol said. VolodymiyrShandra, the Ukrainian Emergency Situations minister, told local media that oxygen canisters being stored in the basement of the building could have triggered the blasts. Television footage showed the rescuers trying to free people buried underneath fallen debris, while others scrabbled through wires, construction rods and boulders.

W: Yes, my cheque book, all the papers I need for work, my appointment book.

M: So you went back to your car?

W: Yes, I went back to my car. No briefcase. But luckily, my laptop was there.

M: So far, we’ve got 183 who’ve booked up. And we might get a few more.

W: Does that include husbands and wives as well?

M: And there’ll be six guest speakers.

W: Six?

TEXT 10

A new study from the University of New South Wales has discovered that during the working week, Australian fathers only spend an average of just over a minute each day alone with their children. Australian mothers, on the other hand, spend 3 hours a week purely looking after their children, a much greater disparity than in other countries, like America, Denmark, Italy and France, where couples divide the childcare more evenly. According to the author of the study, traditionally Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenthood but stay away from daily child-care activities. So while they tend to be happy taking the kids to the park or to sports events, they are unlikely to participate regularly in feeding, bathing or taking the kids to school. In short, Australian parenting is seen as a woman’s job and a man’s hobby. However, the last 20 years have seen the

英语听力文稿—4

arrival of the so-called “new man” — the man who is willing to share the housework and child-care. The “new man” has a picture of his children on his computer desktop at work. He never misses the kids’ school plays, and he passes on a drink after work so that he can get home in time to read their bedtime story. This new study suggests that the “new man” feels a little more at home in Europe than in Australia. Indeed, a poll conducted in the UK indicated that almost 70% of British women thought that men were as good at raising children as women.
