1908.Many werearrested andilltreated;prisoners whowent onhunger strikewerebrutally forcefed.Over timethey becamesteadily more-smashing shopwindows,militantsetting fireto letterboxes,libraries andeven homes.The PM,Herbert Asquith,an opponentofwomen,s votes,was attackedwith adog whip.Such useof violencewas thought,certainlyat the time,to havebeen unfavorable.With thesacrifices ofthe FirstWorld Warstrengthening supportfor wideningthe rightto vote generally,women suspendedcampaigning.More thana millionwomen werenewly employedoutsidethehomein munitions军需品factories,engineering works.Crucially,Asquith wasreplacedas PMby DavidLloyd George,a supporterof votesfor women.The Representationofthe People Act1918was introducedbythecoalition government and passedby amajority of385to55,gaining theRoyal Assenton6February
1918.Women over30,who werehouseholdersor marriedto one,or universitygraduates,were giventhe vote.
63.Which ofthe followingis thereason whywomenwerenot qualifiedto voteNOTA.Women weresupposed todo houseworkand servetheir husbands.B.Women weretoo weakto fightagainst enemies.C.Women hadalready enjoyedmany politicalrights.D.Women werenot asintelligent asmen.
64.According tothe passage,why didwomenscampaigning arousedebateA.Because itfailed tomobilize womenand emphasizeinjustices.B.Because womenwere putin prisonand abusedduringtheprotest.C.Because mostwomen didnt wantthevote.D.Because allthe emotionalbehaviors wereregarded asimproper.
65.The wordin Line5,Para.4probably refersto.“militant”A.imposing.B.extreme.C.negative.D.obedient.
66.What can be inferredfromthepassageA.Women stoppedprotesting for their votebecause they were offeredmore jobopportunities.B.The PM,Herbert Asquith,an opponentofwomens votes,mitted suicide.C.Thefirstcampaigningwomengroupswereformed originallyforthesake oflegal rights.D.All womencan enjoytheir righttovotesince theintroduction ofPeopleAct.Section CRead the following passage.Fill ineach blankwith aproperDirectionssentence given in thebox.Each sentencecanbe used only once.Note thatthereare twomore sentencesthan youneed.If wesee a line movingfaster,we mightswitch withouthaving enoughextra information.A.About onein fivepeople grewimpatient atthe backofthequeue andswitched tothe otherB.line in the hopeof speedingthings up.Do youhold yournerve andstay put,switch to another linein thehope itmoves faster,C.or giveup altogetherBased on hisstudy,Buell sayspeople shouldthink hardabout switchingqueues when theyD.are the last inaline.In anunpublished workingpaper on the research,Buell notesthat peopletend tofeelE.unhappiest atthe backof aqueue forthefirst10seconds orso.Although thenumber ofpeople behindyou hasnothing todo withhow longyouaregoingF.to wait,it shapesyour behavior.No oneenjoys themoment.You arestuck atthe backof aqueue and as thoseinotherlinesmove aheadand getserved,thetime to decidearrives.67This questionhas nowbeen solvedbyresearchersat HarvardBusiness School.According to what they have foundinanewstudy,they suggestpeople thinktwice beforeswitchingqueues.The researchwas ledby RyanBuell,an expertin servicemanagement.He lookedinto consumerqueuingbehavior afterworking witheconomists onwhat isknown aslastplace aversion,v thedisfortpeople feelwhentheyknow theyearn lessthan othersor considerthemselves atthebottom ofthe socialpile for some otherreason.As aresult ofthis aversionto beingthelast,when aperson findshimself attheendof aqueue,he canmake decisionsthat hewilllater regret.Buell beganby observingpeople ata multicheckoutgrocery storeand thenset upan onlinesurvey.People whotook part in the survey weretold itwould takeabout fiveminutes.In reality,it tookonly oneminute,but whenparticipants loggedin forthesurvey,theywereforced towaitinavirtual queuedisplayed on the screen.They startedattheback andcould wait,switchto asecond queueor chooseto leave.68On average,however,those whoswitched waited10percent longerthan iftheyhad stayedput.Those whoswitched twiceended upwaiting67percent longerthan ifthey hadnevermoved.“When wejoin aqueue,we tendto makethe mostrational choicewe can,which meansjoiningthe shortestqueue.69Unfortunately,we canoften getit wrong,“said Buell.70After that,the aversionfades.The researchersuggests peoplehave achatwith the person in front sothat they can passthetimemore fortablyuntil someoneelse joinsbehindthem.Remember thatthepersoninfrontof youwas thelast untilyou arrived,so someonewillshow upifyouhang aroundlong enough,“Buell said.IV.Summary WritingReadthe following passage.Summarize themain ideaand themainDirections:point softhepassage inno morethan60words.Use yourown wordsas faraspossible.As technologygrows,many universityinstructors arefinding waysto guideonline learningplatformsinto theirclassrooms.Programs such as Blackboard,WebCT andMoodie allowteachersto postreading assignments,PowerPoint presentations,lecture notesand quizzesfor studentstoplete outsideof class.While postinglessons onlinecanbefriendly tostudents municationstylesand easilyaccessible,they alsocause disadvantages.One disadvantage is thatit mayencourage students to dependon technologyin the classroom.Instead ofphysical textbooks,many nowbring cellphonesto accessmaterials duringclassdiscussions.While electronicdevices canbe valuablelearning tools,they alsocan lead todistractions fromlearning,such associal networkingand onlinegames.It isextremelydifficult forstudents beingexposed tomultiple electronictasks tofocus orremember keyinformation.A seconddisadvantageisthat onlinelessons openup potentialfor cheating.Manyinstructors require studentstoplete quizzes,post withindiscussion groupsor submitmajorassignments online.As aresult,there aresome studentshaving someoneelse pletetheirassignments.A contributingfactor isthat onlineassignments arebest suitablefor thoseselfmotivated,selfdirected students.Students whostruggle withorganization andpletingassignments mayfind iteasy tocheat online.In spiteof thesedisadvantages,educators cantake stepsto makesure studentsuse onlinelessonsresponsibly.If instructorsare unfortablewith electronicdevices intheclassroom,theycanrequirestudentsto printout assignmentsand readingsto referenceduring sessions.To preventcheating,teachers canuse onlineassignments asa supplementto traditionalinclasswork,or createopenended assignmentsratherthanusing assignmentslike multiplechoicequizzesthat haveonly oneright answer.Being familiarwith whatthe platformlooks likefroma studentperspective alsocan helpinstructors avoidpotential pitfalls.V.TranslationTranslate the following sentencesinto English,using thewordsDirections:given inthe brackets.
