3.C【解析】这是一篇说明文动物受伤会有疼痛感动物世界中最沉默的受害者可能是鱼利物浦大学的一项新研究发现,鱼感受到疼痛的方式与人类“惊人地相似”,他们和我们一样能感受到剧烈的疼痛【1题详解】细节理解题根据第三段中In fact,like us,they breatheheavilyandstopeatingwhenthey rehurting.Theywill evenrubthepartof theirbodythataches.事实上,它们和我们一样,感到疼痛时会呼吸急促,停止进食他们甚至会揉身体疼痛的部位”由此可知,如果鱼的嘴唇受伤了,它可能会揉它的嘴唇故选A【2题详解】推理判断题根据最后一段“If weaccept fishexperience pain,then thishas greatsignificance forhow wetreat them,“Sneddon says.Care should be takenwhen handlingfish toavoid damagingtheir sensitiveskinand theyshouldbehumanely caughtand killed.斯奈登说:如果我们接受了鱼的疼痛体验,那么这对我们如何治疗它们就具有重大意义”“处理鱼时要小心,避免伤害它们敏感的皮肤,应该人道地捕获和杀死它们”由此可推断,斯奈登认为这项研究的意义是人们会更友善地对待鱼故选A【3题详解】词义猜测题根据第四段中Nociceptors have also beenfoundinmanyotherspecies,including eventhose tinyfruitflies.Fish havethe samemeans todetect painsignalsandtheequipmenttoreceivethem.“在许多其他物种中也发现了痛觉受器,甚至包括那些微小的果蝇鱼也有同样的方法来探测疼痛信号和接收它们的设备”再根据第五段中Pain is an efficientmessenger thattells usthat weve gota problem.An animalthat cantfeelitwon tget thatmemo备忘录,even ifit hurtsitself.“疼痛是一种有效的信使,它告诉我们有问题了一个没有感觉到疼痛的动物是不会得到提醒的,即使它伤害了自己”由止匕可知the fishermensopinion thatfishfeelnopainjustdoesn,taddupfromanevolutionaryview.“渔民们认为鱼没有疼痛感的观点从进化的角度来看是站不住脚的”所以划线部分的意思是“有意义,讲得通”故选CBRecent datareleased fromthe Departmentof Laborin the US showthat for the firsttime in10years,womenmake up more than half
50.04%oftheworkforce.Many havecelebrated thismilestone asproof that women areinchingtoward equalityin theworkplace.After all,a symbol of women*s equalityin Americahas always beenincreased vialabor forceparticipation.For women in todayseconomy,however,increased employmentalso carriesan increasedburden.Women earnless,have lessflexibility interms of their workschedules tomeet caretakingdemands,and are more likelyto experience discriminationbased ongender orsexual harassmentthan their male counterpartsin theworkforce.
2059.Forrn less than men in nearly every occupation for which there is available data.If wedo nothing,women willnot reacheconomic equalitywith menuntil
2059.For women of color,it willtake more than acentury:2130for blackwomen and2224for Hispanic womenthose fromLatin America.This meanswomen willhaveto worklonger orhold multiplejobs to make endsmeet andto carefor theirfamilies.Increased employmentamong womenhas nottranslated intoless workat home.Many women in theworkforceare stillprimarily responsible forthelion,s shareof houseworkand caretakingresponsibilities comparedwithmen.A newstudy byOxfam America-Institute forWomen,s PolicyResearch findsthat womenin the United Statesspend37%more time on householdand carework than their malecounterparts,limiting careerchoices andeconomicmobility,and affectingtheir overallhealth andwell-being.Black andHispanicwomenspend nearlytwice asmuchtimeonunpaid houseworkand caretakingdemands astheirmalecounterparts.Much hasbeen madeabout ourstrong economyas measured by howwell thestock marketperforms andlowunemployment.There,snodoubt theincrease inworkforce participationamong women will helpboost thisnarrative.However,it doesnot meanthat womenare moreeconomically secure.In todayseconomy,working andmiddle-class familiescontinue tostruggle withrising housingand healthcare costs,stagnant wagesand ashift toa technology-driven economyfueled byautomation andthe loss ofmanufacturing jobs.These trendshave anextreme impacton women.

50.04%许多人庆祝这一里程碑,认为这证明了女性正在向职场平等迈进由此可知,人们庆祝女性占据了一半以上的劳动力,因为这表明女性在工作场所更加平等故选C【5题详解】推理判断题根据第三段Women earnlessthanmeninnearlyeveryoccupationforwhichthereisavailabledata.If wedo nothing,women willnot reacheconomic equalitywithr womenofcolor,it willtake morethan acentury:2130for blackwomen and2224for Hispanicwomenthose fromLatin America.This meanswomenwillhave towork longerorhold multiplejobs tomake endsmeetandto carefortheirfamilies.可知几乎在所有有数据可查的职业中,女性的收入都低于男性如果我们什么都不做,女性要到2059年才能实现与男性的经济平等对于有色人种女性来说,这需要一个多世纪的时间黑人女性要到2130年,西班牙裔女性要到2224年这意味着女性将不得不工作更长时间或从事多份工作来维持生计和照顾家庭由此可推知,第三段的数字是用来强调妇女的不平等是一个很难解决的问题故选A【6题详解】细节理解题根据最后一段In todayseconomy,working andmiddle-class familiescontinue tostruggle withrisinghousing andhealthcarecosts,stagnant wagesandashift toa technology-driven economyfueled byautomationand thelossofmanufacturing jobs.These trendshave anextreme impacton women,可知在今天的经济中,工薪阶层和中产阶级家庭继续挣扎于不断上涨的住房和医疗费用、停滞不前的工资、向由自动化推动的技术驱动型经济的转变以及制造业工作岗位的流失这些趋势对女性产生了极端的影响由此可知,女性的就业并不意味着她们在经济上更有保障,因为当今的经济趋势对妇女不利故选B【7题详解】主旨大意题根据第二段中For womenin todayseconomy,however,increased employmentalso carriesan increasedburden.可知然而,对于当今经济中的妇女来说,就业增加也带来了更大的负担结合文章说明了美国劳工部最近公布的数据显示,10年来女性首次占到劳动力的一半以上
50.04%许多人庆祝这一里程碑,认为这证明了女性正在向职场平等迈进但是,对于当今经济中的女性而言,增加就业也带来了更大的负担文章就女性就业的增加是如何对女性产生更大负担的这个问题进行了具体的分析由此可知,D选项“妇女就业增加,负担加重”最符合文章标题故选DCbeginning.Beforeadults.And over,but thisera ofhigh joblessnessis probablybeginning.Before itends,it willlikely changethe lifecourse andcharacter ofa generationof youngadults.And eventually,it is likelytoreshape ourpolitics,our culture,andthecharacter ofour societyfor years.No onetries harderthanthe jobless to find silver liningsin thisnational economicdisaster.Many saidthat unemployment,while extremelypainful,had improvedthem insome ways:they hadbecome lessmaterialisticand morefinancially prudent(节俭的);they weremore awareofthestruggles ofothers.In limitedrespects,perhaps the recession willleave societybetter off.At thevery least,it hasawoken usfrom ournational feverdreamof easyriches andbigger houses,and puta necessaryend toaneraof reckless(鲁莽的)personal spending.off.InU.S.freedoms.Anti-immigrantits seemthin,uncertain,and faroff.In TheMoral ConsequencesofEconomic Growth,the economichistorian Benjamin Friedman arguesthat both inside and outside theU.S.,lengthyperiods of economic stagnation or decline have almostalways leftsociety moremean-spirited andless inclusive,and haveusually stoppedor reversedthe advance of rights and freedoms.Anti-immigrant sentimenttypicallyincreases,as doesconflict between races and classes.Income inequalityusually fallsduring a recession,but ithas notshrunk inthis one.Indeed,this periodofeconomic weaknessmay reinforceclass divides,and decreaseopportunities tocross them-especially foryoungpeople.The researchof Till Von Wachter,the economicat ColumbiaUniversity,suggests thatnot all peoplegraduating intoa recessionsee theirlife chancesdimmed:those withdegrees from elite(精英)universitiescatch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated inbetter times;it isthe masses beneath themthat are leftbehind.U.S.he Internetage,it isparticularly easyto seethe resentmentthat hasalwaysbeenhidden withinAmericansociety.More difficult,in themoment,is discerningprecisely how these leantimes areaffectingsociety,s character.In manyrespects,theU.S.was more socially tolerantentering thisrecession thanatany timein itshistory,andavariety ofnational pollson socialconflict sincethen haveshown mixedresults.We willhave towait andsee exactlyhow thesehard timeswill reshapeour socialfabric(组织).But theycertainly will reshape it,and all the moreso thelonger theyextend.
