Important changes took place in the lives of women in the 19th century. When men went out from their farms to cities to seek jobs in industry, peasant women had to take over the sowing, growing, and harvesting of the fields as well as caring for cattle and raising children. When women also moved to the cities in search of work, they found that it was increasingly separated by sex and that employment opportunities for women were limited to the lower-paid jobs. Later in the century, women in industry gathered mainly in cloth-making factories, though some worked in mining or took similarly difficult and tiring jobs.
In the 1800s, service work also absorbed(吸纳) a great number of women who arrived in the cities from the country. Young women especially took jobs as servants in middle-class and upper-class homes; and as more and more men were drawn into industry, domestic service(家庭服务) became increasingly a female job. In the second half of the century, however, chances of other service work also opened up to women, from sales jobs in shops to teaching and nursing. These jobs came to be done mainly by women and low paid.
For thousands of years, when almost all work was done on the family farm or in the family firm(家庭作坊)，home and workplace had been the same, In these cases, women could do farm work or hand work, and perform home duties such as child care and preparation of meals at the same time. Along with the development of industry, the central workplace, however, such as the factory and the department store, separated home from work. Faced with the necessity for women to choose between home and workplace, western society began to give particular attention to the role of women as homemakers with more energy than ever before.
60. We learn from the first paragraph that had been done chiefly by men before they went to cities to seek jobs.
A. mining, teaching, and nursing
B. sewing clothes and mining
C. sowing, growing, and harvesting
D. caring for cattle and growing crops
61. Domestic service became a female job mainly because .
A. women took care of children
B. women took jobs as servants
C. men were employed in industry
D. men seldom worked in shops
62. We know from the passage that in the 1800s _________.
A. more and more women began to work in domestic service
B. women mainly worked as servants, nurses, and miners
C. service and industrial jobs absorbed more women than men
D. women enjoyed working as sellers, teachers, and miners
63. This passage is about in the 19th century.
A. service and industry B. female and male jobs
C. women and their work D. female jobs and the pay
(C )
I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and was so naturalized to the place and to the manner of living that I could have but enjoyed the certainty that no savages (野人) would come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content to spend the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and died, like the old goat in the cave.
I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did before.
At first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so
familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And
he lived with me no less than six or twenty years. How long he might live
afterwards, I know not; though I know they have an idea in
My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less than sixteen years of my time, and then died of mere old age.
As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot several of them at first to keep them from eating up all I had.
Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my first. Nor indeed did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.
I had also several tame sea-fowls（鸟）, whose names I know not, who I caught upon the shore and cut their wings. And the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived among these low trees and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I began to be very well contented with the life I led, if it might but have been secured from the threat of the savages.
64. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Robin Crusoe loved animals and savages very much.
B. Robin Crusoe trained his animals in pleasant ways.
C. The animals raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.
D. The savages always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.
65. How many kinds of animals except humans are mentioned in this passage?
A. 3. B. 5. C. 7. D. 9.
66. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. savages. B. Brazilians. C. parrots. D. islanders.
67. This passage is selected from a novel. The hero of this novel probably comes from ______.
A. Brazil B.
( D )
In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel(海峡) in an airplane. Today, modern aircrafts cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colorful.
One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in
The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometers from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette.
Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs(海关) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not, “Have you anything to declare?” The officer demanded.
68. The flight for Bleriot was _____.
A. a sad one B. a dangerous one
C. his first one D. an easy one
69. Hubert Latham wanted to fly across the Channel because _____.
A. he thought he could manage it easily
B. he wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel
C. he knew he only had a year to live
D. he had always been interested in flying
70. This text tells us that Latham _____.
A. became a pilot on the doctor’s advice
B. was
born in
C.
managed to fly across the
D. was saved by a boat when his plane was sinking
