单选题Rebecca Stevens was the first British woman to climb Mount Everest(珠穆朗玛峰). Before she went up the highest mountain in the world, she was a journalist(记者) and lived in a small flat(公寓) in South London. In 1993, Rebecca left her job and her family and traveled to Asia with some other climbers. She found that life on Everest is hard. "You mustn' t carry everything on your back," she said, "so you can only take things that you will need. You can' t wash on the mountain, and in the end I didn' t even take a toothbrush. There is no water but snow," When Rebecca reached the top of Mount Everest on May 17, 1993, it was the best moment of her life. Suddenly she became famous. Now she has written a book about the trip and people often ask her to talk about it. She has a new job too, on a science program on television. Rebecca is well-known today and she has more money than before, but she still lives in the little flat in South London among her pictures and books about mountains!

单选题{{B}}Text 1{{/B}} The automobile has many advantages. Above all, it offers people freedom to go wherever and whenever they want to go. The basic purpose of a motor vehicle is to get from point A to point B as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible. However, to most people, cars are also personal fantasy machines that serve as symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and adventure. In addition, much of the world's economy is built on producing motor vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs for those vehicles. Half of the world's paychecks are auto related. In the United States, one of every six dollars spent and one of every six non-farm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries, such as oil, steel, rubber, plastics, automobile services, and highway construction. In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land, and wildlife resources. The automobile may be the most destructive machine ever invented. Though we tend to deny it, riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives. Since 1885, when Karl Benz built the first automobile, almost 18 million people have been killed by motor vehicles. Every year, cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250 000 people -- as many as were killed in the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- and injure or permanently disable 10 million more. Half of the world's people will be involved in an auto accident at some time during their lives. Since the automobile was introduced, almost three million Americans have been killed on the highways -- about twice the number of Americans killed on the battlefield in all US wars. In addition to the tragic loss of life, these accidents cost American society about $ 60 billion annually in lost income and in insurance, administrative, and legal expenses. Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestrians and people riding bicycles in the streets are subjected to noise, pollution, stress, and danger. Motor vehicles are the largest source of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the world's cities. In the United States, they produce at least 50% of the country's air pollution.

单选题The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a woman's life spent in caring for 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 till 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 health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modem living conditions. This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, 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 usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return 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, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to file abilities and interests of each of them.
