填空题{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}} Over the past two decades, the lives of American women have undergone unparalleled change. The Virginia Slims Opinion Poll has chronicled that change in national surveys conducted six times since 1970. {{U}}(71) {{/U}} One of the most striking findings of the 1990 Virginia Slims Opinion Poll is the degree of consensus—rather than conflict—in women's and men's attitudes about the changing roles of women. In many respects, the two sexes agree. Men express strong and consistent support for women's improved status in society. {{U}}(72) {{/U}}And they agree that the most tangible way in which they could help women balance jobs and family is to take on more household work. But men are also a major cause of resentment and stress for American women. {{U}}(73) {{/U}}Now, a generation of sweeping change later, women's expectations have outpaced the change in men's behavior. Token help with the dishes or the children no longer inspires women's gratitude. {{U}}(74) {{/U}}. Increasingly, the kitchen table has become that bargaining table. {{U}}(75) {{/U}}Next to money, "how much my mate helps around the house" is the single biggest cause of resentment among women who are married or living as if married, with 52 percent citing this as a problem. Improvement in this area is one of the top things women cite when they consider what would make their lives better.A. There is evidence in the poll that waiting for men to live up to the ideal of equal responsibility is a major irritant for most women today.B. Together, these surveys provide a comprehensive picture of women's changing status, and of their views of the future.C. In 1970, most women were concerned about getting men to share household chores.D. They, like women, believe that sex discrimination remains an important problem in the work-place.E. Over the past three generations, expectations of men as rulers and protectors of the household have changed.F. Instead, as women contribute more to the family income, they expect in return a more equal division of the household responsibilities.

填空题{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}} To me personally, the most remarkable and, in the long run, the most influential man who was translated was not a Greek. That is because I am interested in the perception of objects in space. And that was a subject about which the Greeks were totally wrong. It was understood for the first time about the year AD 1000 by an eccentric mathematician whom we call Alhazen, who was the one really original scientific mind that Arab culture produced.{{U}} (66) {{/U}}Alhazen first recognized that we see an object because each point of it directs and reflects a ray into the eye. The Greek view could not explain how an object, my hand say, seems to change size when it moves. In Alhazen's account it is clear that the cone of rays that comes from the outline and shape of my hand grows narrower as I move my hand away from you.{{U}} (67) {{/U}}And that, and only that, accounts for the difference in size. It is so simple a notion that it is astonishing that scientists paid almost no attention to it for six hundred years.{{U}} (68) {{/U}}The concept of the cone of rays from object to the eye becomes the foundation of perspective [透视画法]. And perspective is the new idea which now revivifies mathematics. {{U}} (69) {{/U}}A manuscript of Alhazen's Optics in translation in the Vatican Library in Rome is annotated by Lorenzo Ghiberti, who made the famous bronze perspectives for the doors of the Baptistry in Florence. He was not the first pioneer of perspective--that may have been Filippo Brunelleschi--and there were enough of them to form an identifiable school of the Perspectivi. {{U}} (70) {{/U}} A. It was a school of thought, for its aim was not simply to make the figures lifelike, but to create the sense of their movement in space. B. The Greeks had thought that light goes from the eyes to the object. C. The excitement of perspective passed into art in north Italy, in Florence and Venice, in the fifteenth century. D. As I move it towards you, the cone of rays that enters our eye becomes larger and subtends a larger angle. E. Above all, we feel that the painter's eye is on the move. F. But artists attended to it long before that, and in a practical way.

填空题Rabies is an ordinarily infectious disease of the central nervous system. It is caused by a virus and, (51) a rule, spread chiefly by domestic dogs and (52) flesh-eating animals. Man and all warm-blooded animals are susceptible (53) rabies. The people of (54) Egypt, Greece and Rome ascribed rabies to evil spirits (55) ordinarily gentle and friendly animals suddenly became vivacious and violent (56) evident cause and, (57) a period of maniacal behavior became paralyzed and died. Experiments (58) out in Europe in the early nineteenth century of injecting saliva from a rabid dog (59) a normal dog proved that the disease was infectious. Preventive steps, (60) as the destruction of stray dogs, were taken and (61) 1862 the disease was permanently eliminated in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Though urban center on the continent of Europe were cleared several times during the nineteenth century, (62) soon became re-infected since rabies was uncontrolled among wild animals. Anti-rabies vaccine is widely used nowadays in two ways. Dogs may be given three- year protection (63) the disease by one powerful injection, (64) persons who have been (65) by rabid animals are given a course of daily injections over a week (66) ten days. The mortality rate from all (67) of bites from rabid animals has dropped from 9% to 0.5%. In rare (68) , the vaccine will not prevent rabies in human (69) because the virus produces the disease before the person's body has (70) to build up enough resistance. Because of this, immediate vaccination is essential for anyone bitten by an animal observed acting strangely and the animal should be captured circumspectly, and examined professionally or destroyed.
