The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman 's life spent in caring for the children.A woman’marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived tiU they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect.to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer https://www.wendangku.net/doc/3c14692325.html,ually a woman 's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years old and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.
This important change in woman 's life-pattern has only recendy begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full time job.However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Very many more afterwards retum to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, aid with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
第21题 According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to_____ .

Last December 's earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge death toll —roughly 40, 000 people——largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud —brick buildings.If a group of researchers in India are successful, the next earthquake might not be as destructive.British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake—proof housing using a cheap, universal material: bamboo.
Thev designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo-reinforced concrete walls.To test the structure, the engineers, sponsored by the U.K.Depart-ment of qnternational Development, took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Re-search Centre in Bangalore, which has a
state.of-the-art earthquake simulator（模拟装置）. The researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second pulses, being equal to 7.8 on the Richter（里氏）scale.The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earth-quake.yet the house emerged undamaged."We didn 't even crack the paint, ”says engineer Paul Follett.of Britain’s Timber Research and Development Association.
By some estimates, more than a binion people already live in bamboo structures.The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo 'S spring.Easily pre-built, fire resistant, and far lighter than steel, bamboo.based structures could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 vears.At five dollars a square foot, they would last roughly half as much as brick-and-block constructions.Follett says the project will follow an"open source”model: "Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good.”

湖南自考学位英语模拟试题及答案详解(一)
2013湖南学位英语仿真模拟试题 试题（一） Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debt and y ou don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this rally a lie? Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. (76)According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly w hen telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intension of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way. Research has also be en done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. T o the trained observer th ey are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch. Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”.(77)He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesture

It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for the advertisement. However, if large-scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them. 1. Advertisement is often used to _______. A. deceive customers B. increase production C. arouse suspicion D. push the sale 2. The word “media ” (in the first paragraph) includes_______ A. the press B. television C. radio D. all of the above 3. Advertisement is mainly paid for by ________ A. the customer B. the producer C. increased sales D. reduced prices 4. Advertisement can increase demand ________ A. all the time B. in any circumstances
