Ⅱ.阅读理解
A few months ago，when I was picking up the children at school，another mother I knew well rushed up to me.Emily was filled with indignation(愤慨)．“Do you know what you and I are？” she demanded.Before I could answer，she blurted out the reason for her question.It seemed she had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office.Asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation，Emily had hesitated，uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is，” explained the recorder，“Do you have a job，or are you just a…？” “Of course I have a job，” snapped Emily.“I’m a mother.” “We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation…‘housewife’ covers it，” said the recorder emphatically.
I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation，this time at our own town hall.The clerk was obviously a career woman，poised(泰然自若的)，efficient，and possessed of a highsounding title like Official Interrogator or Town Registrar.“What’s your occupation？” she asked.What made me say it，I do not know.The words simply popped out.“I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.” The clerk paused，ballpoint pen frozen in mid air，and looked up as though she had not heard right.I repeated the title slowly，emphasizing the most significant words.
“Might I ask，” asked the clerk，“just what you do in your field？”
I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written in bold，black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask，” said the clerk with new interest，“just what you do in your field？”
Coolly，I heard myself reply，“I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and the field.I’m working for my masters (the family) and already have four credits (all daughters)．I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it)．But the job is more challenging than most runofthemill(非选拔的) careers and the rewards are in satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was increasing respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form，stood up，and personally showed me out.As I drove into our driveway，I was greeted by my lab assistants—ages 13,7，and 3.And upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (6 months) in the childdevelopment program，testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt triumphant(胜利的)!
Motherhood…what a glorious career，especially when there is a title on the door.
16．The purpose of the author’s writing Emily’s story is to ________.
A．show how angry Emily was with the author
B．prove the fact that housewives are looked down upon
C．tell readers that Emily had no work in reality
D．lead in the topic of housewife as a job
17．On hearing the author’s answer at the town hall，the clerk felt ________.
A．bored and disappointed
B．surprised and curious
C．satisfied and excited
D．interested and respectful
18．What do we do know about the author’s family?
A．She has three daughters and one son of six months.
B．It is supported through her work as a Research Associate.
C．She has four daughters of whom the youngest is six months.
D．There are at most five persons in her family.
19．What does the author think of her own job?
A．Hard but profitable.
B．Satisfying and successful.
C．Disappointing and failing.
D．Dull and meaningless.
20．The tone in which the author writes the article is ________.
A．indifferent
B．ironic
C．objective
D．humorous
Ⅲ.任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
The films I have enjoyed most is The Sound of Music.It is a very old film which won five Oscar awards.But for me，there has been no other film to match its excellence.
Everything about the film is enjoyable.Woven around a very simple theme，this film tells a story about seven naughty children，their governess，Maria，and their strict father，the Captain，who knows nothing about bringing up children.The heroine，Maria，brings music and joy back to the family.The children take to her and they become great friends for she is young enough to enjoy their fun and mature enough to guide their behavior.
There is a bit of everything for everybody in it，too.Children will take to the seven naughty children and the fun that they have.Young girls will like the heroine，whom they can identify themselves with.People will also like the romantic love，the beautiful feeling that grows between the Captain and Maria.Boys，for whom guns hold a great interest，like the mystery and the war the family escapes from.
The Sound of Music is the type of film which more producers should try to follow.The music，especially the songs，remains in everybody's memory.It is light，tuneful and memorable，and it appeals to both the young and the old.The photography and the color are very much in keeping with the story and the effect is wonderful.
The acting is superb，as every feeling is brought out fully.

课时作业(二十七)
Ⅰ.1.C chances are that…为固定句型，意为“很有可能……”，that引导同位语从句。
2．C 本题考查动词短语辨析。contrary to表示“和(我们所害怕的)相反”。in line with成一直线；in defence of保卫；concerned about担心。
3．D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：临床证据开始增多，而这些证据表明，与之前在动物身上进行试验的预期(的效果)相比，这种新药可适用于更加广泛的有益的活动。strengthen加强；approve赞成；operate动手术，操作。根据语境只有D项“积累”符合语义表达。
4．B 本题考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，题干为强调句型，被强调部分为what引导的主语从句。句意为：并非我们偶尔为之的事情塑造我们的生活，而是我们一贯之行造就我们的生活。
5．C 考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语动词作主语，故用动名词结构。
6．C 考查动词辨析。句意为：那个外科医生在手术中展示了他的精湛的技能。A.“代表”；B.“指示”； C．“展示，演示”；D“陈列，展出”。
7．C 考查非谓语动词和be of＋抽象名词结构。第一空为分词短语作原因状语，因与其逻辑主语Li Hua是被动关系，故用过去分词；根据“be of great importance＝be very important”，可判断第二空可用of great importance或very important。
8．C 考查动词词义辨析。句意为：“就好像一个人穿什么，吃什么，以及和什么样的人交往能反映人的个性一样，一个人的住房也是如此。”要选一个表示“反映”的词，就是reflect .“resemble”＝look like; “strengthen”表示“加强，巩固”；“shape”作动词表示“塑形”．
9．D 此空引导定语从句且在从句中作地点状语，故选D。
10．A 考查名词辨析，句意为：令居民们大为放松的是，除312个已证实的病例外，没有别人受H1H2的感染，relaxation意为“放松”，符合题意，disappointment意为“失望”，relief意为“(痛苦，负担等)缓和；轻松”；surprise意为“惊讶”。
11．C 考查日常交际用语。此处表示祝贺他人找到工作。
12．B 考查非谓语动词。句意为：据报道被告已经承认他抢了那位老太太的金项链。由句意可知，“承认”这个动作发生在“was reported”之前，故用不定式的完成式。
13．A 考查动词时态的用法。句意为“那个在孤零零的房子里独居了10年的老人现在已经搬进了养老院。”独居10年是过去的动作，和现在搬进养老院进行对比，所以使用一般过去时，故选A。
14．C 考查副词辨析。otherwise意为“否则，要不然”。句意为：她没有和拉斯金教授提自己的麻烦，要不然拉斯金教授或许能帮她。
15．A 考查句型be devoted to doing sth.专心致志于，献身于，忠于。可将题干理解为she is how devoted to defending the rights and dignity of women.
Ⅱ.如何归属家庭主妇的职业？故事中，作者诙谐地将自己家庭妇女的工作比作是儿童发展及人事关系研究助理员的工作，引出了一个有趣的故事。
16．D 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“I forgot her story until one day I found myself in the same situation”可知，作者讲述艾米丽的故事其实就是为了导入下文她自己要讲述的类似故事，故选D。A项不符合第一段之意，因为艾米丽并非对作者生气，而是对记录员有气；从第二段无法看出家庭妇女被人看不起；C项仅是浅层次的推理，并非作者的写作意图。
17．B 推理判断题。根据第二段“The clerk paused，ballpoint pen frozen in mid air，and looked up as though she hadn't heard right.”的描写可判断出职员感到惊讶不解而好奇的心理。
18．C 细节理解题。根据第五段“I'm working for my masters (the family) and already have four credits (all daughters)．”和第六段“upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (6 months) in the childdevelopment program”可判断，她有四个女儿，最小的女儿仅有6个月大。
19．B 细节理解题。根据最后两段的最后一句，即“The rewards are in satisfaction rather than just money.”和“I felt successful.”，可判断，作者对自己做家庭妇女的工作是满意而有着成功感的。
20．D 推理判断题。作者从第二段开始讲述自己在市政厅发生的故事，她将自己家庭妇女的工作诙谐地比作是儿童发展及人事关系研究助理员的工作，将女儿比作“credits”、“lab assistants”和“new experimental model”，可见其幽默。
