A few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew
well, rushed up to me. She was full of __21__.
“Do you know __22__ you and I are?” she asked. _23__ I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. The woman __24__ desk asked her what her “occupation” was.

I forgot all about her story __28__ one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman.
“And what is your occupation?” she asked. What __29__ me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ... a (an) __30___ in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk stopped, her ball-point pen __31__ in mid-air. She looked up _32__ she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your __33__?” Coolly, I heard myself __34__, “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have _35__ credits (令人增光的人或事物) (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). The job is more challenging than most jobs and the _36__ are in satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of _37__ in the clerk’s voice as she _38__ in the form. As I drove into our driveway(私家车道), I was _39__ by my lab assistants — ages 13, 7, and 3. Inside the house I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program.

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A
In people's minds, Beijing women are taller, bold, and uninhibited, while Shanghai women are smaller in figure, and always speak in a soft voice. The image(形象.)of Beijing women is usually bigger than that of Shanghai women. However, it turns out to be just the other way round after I have worked in Beijing for some time.
Everybody goes Dutch in Shanghai; even at a grand party, but in Beijing it' s usually the men' s treat. And it is also impossible to invite a female friend who already has a boyfriend or a young married woman out, even if you promise to see her home that night,
The conditions of the men in Beijing are no better at all. All their mobile phones will ring one after another at 12 o'clock sharp at night. The voice on the other end is usually loud enough for anyone nearby to hear. "Where have you been? Do you remember that you've got a home? Now who's with you?" and these three sentences are usually the main parts of the call.
Shanghai women could never understand this. If it' s a Shanghai woman who shouts in the phone, the Shanghai man on the other end must think that she is crazy (or drunk, perhaps). The Shanghainese go Dutch in life, and they appreciate the independence in both economic and love affairs.
Many of my friend girls in Shanghai are office ladies with very high income. The tiredness of life cannot kill their pride in saying: "I don't depend on any men." Thus no men can command them, for example, to force them to come back home before 10 pm. Beijingers do not admire the Shanghai way of life, anyhow. How can a couple be addressed as "a couple" when they don't know where the other has been last night? They wondered.
41. Shanghai women could never understand why ______.
A. Beijing women behave like that B. Beijing men behave like that
C. Shanghai men think so differently D. Shanghai women don' t copy Beijing women
42. By mentioning men paying bills for women in Beijing, the writer wants to show that ______.
A. Beijing women are respected B. Beijing women lack independence
C. Beijing men are generous D. Beijing men possess gentle manners
43. The conditions of Beijing men are no better because they ______.
A. often stay out late at night B. have women call them at midnight
C. are treated the same as Shanghai men D. enjoy no more freedom than the women
44. The underlined word "uninhibited" in Paragraph One probably means ______.
A. relaxed enough to do as they like B. very cautious about their behavior
C. always doing what they are told to D. not having courage or confidence
45. Which of the following may be the title of the article?
A. Lifestyle difference between Shanghai and Beijing.
B. Physically strong may mean spiritually weak.
C. Big Shanghai women and little Beijing women.
D. Can a couple go Dutch in life?
B

From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age. We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased greatly. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing.
Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel(方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a
man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish. A.. their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten.
It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievable lenient(宽容的) and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year.
