4.Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez,chief of American Girl Scouts,are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word"bossy".Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?
The campaign claims that terms like"bossy"are improperly applied to females,preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future"leaders".From its first application,the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men.It first appeared in 1882,according to the Oxford English Dictionary,mentioning"a lady manager who was extremely bossy".As late as 2008,the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males,claim the Ban Bossy campaigners."To me,the reference is always is association with women,"says Helen Trim,director of Fresh Minds."I have three brothers and my family still call me‘bossy'today."Her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way,says Trim,but nobody would ever call him so.
Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed,rather than banned."But the thing with‘bossy'is that there's an infantile (幼稚的)element to it,"says Sara Mills,professor at Sheffield University."You think of‘bossy'as being like a little kid who's claiming more than he has the right to claim."
It's not just"bossy"under fire."Pushy"is another target.The implication is that women shouldn't present themselves as powerful and confident.Mills suggests,which some women are willing to listen to and accept.Trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled‘bossy'.And she rarely,if ever,hears the word used within her company.But she says that the damage may be dome much earlier in a woman's life."It does come about from those early teenage years."she says."I think it's impossible to ban a word,but if people are replacing it with words like‘confidence'or‘assertiveness',we would all be in a much better place."

24.More evidence is provided to show"bossy"is more applied to females byB.
A.the Oxford English Dictionary
B.the Ban bossy campaigners
C.Helen Trim at Fresh Minds

B.she is the boss of her company
C.she is a powerful and confident female
D.her farther considers her that way
26.The underlined part"under fire"most probably meansB
A.definitely replaced
B.strongly criticized
C.improperly applied
D.eagerly expected
27.How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against"bossy"?A
A.Objective
B.Angry
C.Doubtful
D.Optimistic.

分析 本文講述了Facebook的首席運營官謝麗爾•桑德伯格和美國女童子軍首席執(zhí)行長安娜•瑪利亞•查韋斯二人最新發(fā)起的Ban Bossy運動不鼓勵使用"專橫"這個詞描述女性,旨在鼓勵培養(yǎng)女性的領導力.

解答 24.B,細節(jié)理解題,根據句子The campaign claims that terms like"bossy"are improperly applied to females和As late as 2008,the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males,claim the Ban Bossy campaigners可知,這場運動倡導者說明"Bossy"這個詞更多的是描述女性,故答案為B.
25.C,推理判斷題,根據句子The implication is that women shouldn't present themselves as powerful and confident可以推測,Trim的家人認為她專橫是因為她是一位有權力有自信的女性,故答案為C.
26.B,推理判斷題,短文主要是通過一場Ban Bossy運動不鼓勵使用"專橫"這個詞描述女性,可以推測Bossy這個詞是人們嚴厲批評的,故答案為B.
27.A,推理判斷題,短文中作者只是陳述事實,并引用一些人的觀點和看法,沒有表明作者態(tài)度的句子,因此可見作者對于這場運動是客觀的,故答案為A.

12.Dolphins are not fish,but warmblooded animals.They live in groups,and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals,such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land  animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own,and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some other animals,dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds,but the lower part of the mouth,called the jaw.
Strangely,dolphins seem to like man,and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand,they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called the Penguin shot and wounded(傷害)Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area-except for the Penguin.
Today,some people continue to kill dolphins,but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

29  Dolphins are different from many other animals in that theyB.
A.live in groups                         
 B.have large brains
C.are warmblooded                       
D.have their own language
30  Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?D
A.He was lonely and liked to be with people.
B.They enjoyed playing with him.
C.He was seriously wounded.
D.They wanted his help.
31  By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show thatA.
A.dolphins are friendly and clever
B.people are cruel to animals
C.Jack is different from other dolphins
D.dolphins should be protected by law.

7.Sitting for more than three hours a day can decrease a person's life expectancy(預期壽命)by two years,even if her or she is physically active and gets rid of (擺脫)dangerous habit like smoking,according to a study.Watching TV for more than two hours a day can worsen that problem,decreasing life expectancy by another 1.4 years.
The analysis comes just two years after Australian researchers found that people who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause than people who said they spent less than two hours a day watching TV.Those watching TV more than four hours a day were also 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease."Long-sitting behavior is something we need to take note of beyond telling people to get 30 minutes of activity a day,"said Peter T.Katzmarzyk,one of the lead researchers.But while the evidence of illnesses is increasing,it remains difficult for many people to find time to get on their feet,especially if they do desk jobs.
"Try to stand as much as you can,"Dr Katzmarzyk said."Typically when you are on the telephone you can stand and use the speakerphone.Instead of e-mailing someone in the office,just get up and so to talk to them."However,Dr Katzmarzyk added,standing shouldn't be alternative to exercising,but an alternative to sitting."Several studies show that when you're sitting,your leg muscles are completely inactive,"he said."When you're sitting and completely inactive,this is when you run into trouble managing blood sugar."
25.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?C
A.Watching TV too long can worsen our mental health.
B.We should be active and give up smoking.
C.Sitting for too long a time can shorten one's life.
D.Smoking too much can be harmful to health.
26.The  researchers draw the conclusion of the effect of long-sitting behavior byA.
A.making comparisons(比較)          
B.listing figures
C.giving examples                   
D.classifying facts
27.What does  Dr Katzmarzyk think of long-sitting behavior?B
A.It warns  people to exercise 30 minutes a day.
B.It's a bad behavior worth considering seriously.
C.It can lead to death at once.
D.It is good for desk job workers.
28.According to Dr Katzmarzyk,if you are sitting all the time,you mayD.
A.phone your friends and talk about your problem
B.put on weight quickly and become more  inactive 
C.want to have more sugar for your meals
D.find it hard to keep your blood sugar proper.
