3.In our culture,the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same.Women often are told"You can't have it all."Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is:"You choose a career,so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life."or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career?"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being,if they are to feel good about themselves.
Our study shows that,for women,well-being has two aspects.One is mastery,which includes self-respect,a sense of control over your life,and low levels of anxiety and depression.Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life,to work and activity.Pleasure is the other aspect,and it is made up of happiness,satisfaction and optimism.It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life.The two are independent of each other.A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure,and vice versa(反之亦然).For example,a woman who has a good job,but whose mother has just died,might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life,but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women,and correct past mistakes.In the past,women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being.But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important.And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work.In our study,all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles.At least by middle adulthood,the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages,motherhood,and employment-were the highest in well-being,in spite of warnings about stress and strain.

65.It can be inferred from the first paragraph thatD.
A.for women,a sense of"mastery"is more important than a sense of"pleasure"
B.for women,a sense of"pleasure"is more important than a sense of"mastery"
C.women can't have a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"at the same time
D.a sense of"mastery"and a sense of"pleasure"are both necessary to women
66.The author's attitude towards women having a career isB.
A.negative         B.positive         C.indifferent          D.realistic
67.One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles,D.
A.it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
B.she will be more successful in her career
C.her chances of getting promoted will be greater
D.her life will be richer and more meaningful
68.Which of the following can be considered as a source of"pleasure"for women?A
A.Family life                              B.Multiple roles in society
C.Regular employment                       D.Freedom from anxiety.

分析 在我们的文化中,我们所说的一种权利,驾驭的力量(感到重要和有意义的)和一种快乐(找到生活的乐趣)不总是相同的,相关联的.女人们经常被告知:你不能拥有它的全部,你不能成功.有时演讲者真正要说的是:你选择了事业,所以你不能期望有一个更紧密的与亲戚朋友的关系或者是一个快乐的家.或是你有一个好极了的丈夫,孩子,这所有又与想要一个好的事业有什么联系呢?但如果女人们想要自我感觉良好,她们需要理解和发展幸福安康的这两方面(事业与家庭).
我们的研究表明,对于女性,幸福健康有俩方面.一是驾驭事物的能力,包括对自我的尊重,对生活的自我控制,低水平的焦虑和抑郁.它与做实事紧密相连(工作和活动),快乐,欣慰是另一方面.它由快乐,满足,乐观组成.它更与生活的感觉,感触紧密相连.这俩者是各自独立的.一个女人可以在驾驭事物的能力上有天赋,但却得不到快乐.反之亦然.例如,一个女性有个好工作,但她的母亲已经刚死了,她也许会对自己感觉良好,她的工作生活也井然有序,但是有一段时间她不会感到快乐和满足.

解答 65----68    D B DA
65  D 文章第一段最后一句话有直接提到答案women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being,说明掌控和舒适对于女性都是很重要的,故选择D
66.B 此题考查对作者态度的感知,由倒数第二段的研究结果all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery可以得知作者对于女性工作采取积极态度,故选择B
67.D 同样在最后一段中有提及女性担任多重角色的意义,A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles,说明这样会让她们的人生更有意义,故选择D
68.A 题目的答案在文章中可以间接找到,因为mastery的来源是工作,与之相对的pleasure的来源可推知是家庭,故选择A

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.

One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men.He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son.The baby was in a wooden cradle,which was like a small bed.
When the Prince came back from hunting,Gelert ran out to meet his master.He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Prince's chest.Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelert's jaws and head.
"What have you done?"the Prince said.He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son.The cradle was lying on its side on the floor.The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.
"So you have killed my son?"the Prince said angrily."You unfaithful(不忠实的) dog!"He took out his sword and killed the dog.Just as Gelert was dying,he managed to bark.Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.

If you go to Mount Snowdon in Wales,people will show you where Gelert is buried.There is a sign by his grave.It reminds people of a brave and faithful dog.

8.Dear Daisy,
Phew!I'm so glad that day is over.I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible.
I'm really tired,but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now.
First of all,we had to meet outside the school building.I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300.What a difference!The older pupils are really big.I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.
The other problem was that I didn't know anyone.My family moved over the summer holidays,because of Dad's new job.So now I have to try to make some new friends.Standing in front of the school this morning,I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends.
The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall.Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in.My class teacher is called Mrs.Black.She took us to our classroom.It's on the 5th floor and …guess what?…We aren't allowed to use the lift.I couldn't believe it.
When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn't know anyone.He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer.He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom,out of breath!He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good.
We spent all morning with Mrs.Black looking at our timetables.Everyone in the school has a different timetable-can you believe it?Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French.I'm in the Spanish group,which sounds like fun.I'm worried that I'll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room!How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me?
Lunchtime was OK.After lunch we started lessons.I had maths,which was complicated and difficult and then history,where we started to learn about ancient Greece.That looks interesting.I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived.
So far so good.I'm quite looking forward to tomorrow,even though I've got science.I hate science!
Jason

15.It was 1961 and was in the fifth grade.My marks in school were miserable and,the thing was,I didn't really care.My older brother and I lived with Mom in a small multi-family house in Detroit.We watched TV every night for hours.
But one day Mom changed our world forever.She came home,turned off the TV,sat us down and said:"You boys are going to read two books every week.And you're going to write me a report on what you read."We complained about how unfair it was.Besides,we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible.But she explained:"I'll drive you to the library."So pretty soon the two boys were driven to Detroit Public Library in her white 1950 old car.I wandered reluctantly among the children's books.I loved animals,so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals,I started leafing through them.
The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder.It was about beavers(海狸).For the first time I was lost in another world.The experience was quite different from watching TV.There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes.Soon I began to look forward to visiting the library.I moved from animals to plants,and then to rocks.Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds,and I was free to go anywhere in them.
Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery(神经外科) at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore.Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey,from a failing student to this position,which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.
But I know when the journey began-the day Mom turned off the TV set and put us in her old car for that drive to the library.

12.When I was a kid in Minnesota,watermelon was expensive.One of my father's friends,Bernie,was a rich businessman,who owned a large store in St.Paul.
Every summer,when the first watermelons arrived,Bernie would call.Dad and I would go to Bernie's place.We would sit on the edge of the dock(码头),feet dangling(摇晃),and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife,cut our first watermelon,hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us.Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon,eating only the heart-the reddest,juiciest,firmest,sweetest,most seed-free part-and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man.I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman.Years later,I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked.Bernie knew how to stop working,get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind.Some of us,no matter how much money we have,will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon.If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure,your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years,I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock.I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well,I've relearned it.I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day.That's the heart of the watermelon.I have learned again to throw the rest away.
66.We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feelingA.
A.relaxed         B.worried         C.hungry         D.proud
67.How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?B
A.They ate it in a polite way              B.They only ate its best part
C.They ate every part of it                D.They shared only one piece.
68.In the eyes of the writer's father,BernieC.
A.was just a rich businessman           
B.worked hard all the time
C.lived a rich but healthy life            
D.knew how to make money
69.The underlined part"the heart of the watermelon"in the last paragraph refers toD.
A.the best part of the watermelon         
B.the writer's busy life
C.the writer's decision of making money    
D.the writer's hope of enjoying life
