4.【答案】A
【解析】根据第7空后的“at the Women's Medical College”可推知她想成为“医生”。故选A 项。
5.【答案】B
【解析】根据第二段第二句“Therefore, Charlotte went to the United States… ”可知,当时加拿大的医学院不接收女生,这对于夏洛蒂来说是“不幸地”。unfortunately意为“不幸地”,符合语境。besides意为“并且”,otherwise 意为“要不然;否则”;eventually意为“最终”,故选B项。

10.【答案】C

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African Amerian parents who were slaves.At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholder.She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett”.
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family.One day, Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade.Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead.Furious, she left the house and refused to come back.When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick.With his help, Mumbet sued (起诉)for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution.If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her.Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom—the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee.She declined and instead went to work for Sedgewick.Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔).One of her greatgrandchildren was W.E.B.Du Bois, one of the founders of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.
Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried.It reads, in part:“She was born a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years.She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”

.七选五阅读
(2016黑龙江实验中学高三10月考试)
It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world.__1__
“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”.Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for.__2__ Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.
First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in.__3__ If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest.But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.
Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas—skills with people, skills with information and skills with things—which are your best skills?
After examining your skill, the next step is research.To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers.__4__
Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! __5__
A.It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.
B.Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job.

E.Ask your friends about the work they do.
F.“Chance” may play a more important part in that “decision”.
G.Your parents may also give you some useful advice.
1.【答案】B
【解析】根据前文“世界上有40,000多种职业”可知,确定职业方向这件事本身就很困难。
2.【答案】F
【解析】根据前文“有的年轻人从事了自己不适合的职业”可知,在那种情况下,机会起了一定的作用。言外之意就是没有好好自我诊断,于是引出下文。
3.【答案】D
【解析】根据下文的“interest”和“skill”可知,要谈论二者之间的区别。
4.【答案】E
【解析】根据前文的“research”可知,“去图书馆查资料”和“了解朋友的感受”都属于“调查”之列。
5.【答案】A
【解析】根据前文的“own”,可知作者特别强调“自己”的重要性,选A,而不能选G。
