Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意識(shí)形態(tài)) that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”.
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, house-hold helpers, clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.
Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearances.
So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned.
But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
小題1:According to the biology-is-destiny ideology, women_______.
A．cannot compete with men in any field
B．a(chǎn)re suited more to domestic jobs than men
C．a(chǎn)re sensitive enough to be a good caretaker
D．a(chǎn)re too weak to do any agricultural work at all
小題2:Those who have prejudices against women think that_______.
A．women shouldn’t go out for work
B．women should earn money to add the family income
C．women going out for work should only do “women’s work”
D．women should take jobs to drill the special capabilities of the sex
小題3:The author thinks that the positions women hold outside_______.
A．a(chǎn)re determined by what they are better suited to
B．grow out of their household responsibilities
C．represent their breakthrough of sex discrimination
D．a(chǎn)re physically and emotionally suitable to them
小題4:What does the underlined sentence imply?
A．Sex roles are socially determined
B．Sex roles are emotionally and physically determined
C．Sex roles are biologically and psychologically determined
D．Sex roles are determined by education people take

小題1:B
小題2:C
小題3:B
小題4:A

試題分析：按照傳統(tǒng)的意識(shí)形態(tài)來講，性別歧視是相當(dāng)嚴(yán)重的。男人們一般要在外邊工作，而婦女們就得是家庭主婦，操持家務(wù)。性別不同，就要扮演不同的社會(huì)角色，這就是意識(shí)形態(tài)的體現(xiàn)。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties.”可知，按照傳統(tǒng)的觀點(diǎn)婦女還是要主管家務(wù)勞動(dòng)。故選B。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.”可知傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為女性應(yīng)該做適合女性的工作。故選C。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，意識(shí)形態(tài)還持有這樣的觀點(diǎn)：那些希望在家庭以外工作的婦女應(yīng)自然地做符合女性自身特殊能力的工作，如護(hù)士、 社會(huì)工作者、 小學(xué)教師、 家政服務(wù)、 文員、 秘書。故選B。
小題4:句意猜測(cè)題。由上文可知，社會(huì)決定了性別角色在社會(huì)中的作用，因此后面說也決定了社會(huì)性別角色的不同。故選A。

There are many things people do with their spare time.Have you ever thought about tuning(調(diào)音)your own piano for fun and profit？Are you a piano teacher or player who really does not want the expense of hiring a piano tuner and feels that you could do it yourself with a little training？Well，this is your lucky day.All you need are the right tools，a piano and patience.
So，why would I want to tune my piano？There are many reasons for tuning your own piano.
·It is a very pleasant thing to do.
·You can make up to  $80 each time tuning other people's pianos.
·There are millions of pianos in the world and thousands of new ones are being sold every day.There are not enough piano tuners available to tune them all.
·You can provide a valuable service for friends，family and others.
·You can teach yourself very cheaply and then develop it into a part­time or full­time business.
You may have thought that only a trained expert could do this，someone who had devoted years of study and developed a sense of perfect pitch(音高)．In the past，tuning a piano was as much an art form as it was a technology exercise，but now the balance is swaying(搖動(dòng)) more towards the technology and the final result is as good or even better than tuning by ear.
A few simple tools and a laptop computer with tuning software are all that are required.The real secret is the tuning software，which makes the whole process extremely easy.It means you do not have to train your ears but just look at the laptop screen to know when the piano string is in tune.
I have put together an e­book in my website with all the information you need to get started tuning your own piano, where to get the free software and where to buy the tools.
I hope I have inspired you to think about piano tuning and actually give it a go.You will find it a very rewarding and pleasant activity even if it remains just a hobby.

College is a fresh start, and a chance to make new friends. These friends may become your lifelong friends, or the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Whether you are going to a nearby college or the university far away from home, you are likely to meet new people wherever you are. Here are some advice to help you make friends at college.
Clearly, your classmates are all possible friends! Get to class early on the first day, and if you get there early enough, you will be in the room, or waiting outside it, with one other person, or a small group. A good casual opener would be to ask if you’re in the right classroom, then introduce yourself, and explain that you’re new, and a freshman. Do this at all of your classes, and you will have a group of friends that you can make study groups with, take notes for you when you’re absent or sick.
If you live in a dormitory, your hall will most likely have many fun activities to take part in. Take advantage ofthem, and go to as many as you can. Knowing your friends living in the same hall will also come in convenience because they will be the ones hosting and inviting you to parties that you will be missing out. Joining as many organizations as possible will also help you make new friends quickly. Parties are there to help students form close relationship with each other. Doing a team sport is another great idea. The best part of joining an organization is that you’ll find people who share your interests, and with whom you’ll therefore have a lot to talk about.

It's time to remind myself what I love about life here in California,USA, to remember what I desperately miss when I go home.
Real radio
In the USA there are so many radio stations that those iPod tuner things don’t work at all. There is, simply, no dead air. It took me a while to discover the USA's many pub­lic radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements. KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs. But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC. But before you feel jealous — it’s all online. My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night. Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it. But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA. And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.
The festivals
I’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live. It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them. I have already ex­changed my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.
The famous people
When I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people. It's awkward for me. I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets. Except yes, I have. No,not lions. I have met some famous people. I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood. Many of my professors are famous directors. The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS. This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus mo­ment of some sort. But if you think about it, it's inspiring. What it means, is that I, litlle me (right now, also "just a person") could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.
小題1:The underlined sentence "There is,simply, no dead air." probably means____.
A．there is no useless radio programmes in the USA
B．there is no useful radio programmes in the USA
C．there is no polluted air in the USA
D．there is no advertisements from the radio programmes in the USA
小題2:There are so many festivals that_____.
A．I often leave campus for more than few days
B．I often attend some of them in person
C．I bought a bigger Ford? Mustang
D．I can share many reviews and performances online with my friends in South Africa
小題3:The author thinks the famous people in the USA _____.
A．a(chǎn)re just Like lionsB．a(chǎn)re well-known but ordinary
C．a(chǎn)re disappointingD．a(chǎn)re inspiring
小題4:The author is most likely to be _____.
A．a(chǎn) director in AmericaB．a(chǎn) professor in South Africa
C．a(chǎn) student in America D．a(chǎn)n actor in South Africa

A carefree summer vacation can be yours with these easy tips．
1．Fly into Alternate Airports
Most major destinations are served by more than one airport．Flying into a less popular one can result in cheaper tickets．Another added perk of quieter airports? Shorter check-in and security lines，and less waiting around．
2．Use Public Transportation for City Travel to Save Time and Money
When possible，take public transportation from the airport to your hotel．For example，the London-Heathrow express train takes just 15 minutes to get from airport to city and costs under 20 pounds．By contrast，“A taxi costs about 70 pounds and takes 40 minutes，"reports DiScala．
3．Eat Smart，Explore…and Save
Look for ways to take your order in pricey restaurants and you can avoid “Are we about to run out of money?”“Don’t order an appetizer．Don’t drink a lot of booze，” says DiScala．
Also，cover more ground by spreading out your snack places．“Have dessert at a café or ice cream stand, instead of at the dinner restaurant，” suggests DiScala．You’ll see more of the city and decisions about where to go for dinner will be less worrying．
4．Hit the Market
Much like reading the local newspaper，visiting a market gives context to a foreign country．
Even the smallest villages tend to have a weekly open-air market(often on Saturday mornings) , while in larger towns and cities，expect additional market days，as well as big supermarkets．
Markets also sell amazing，wallet-friendly souvenirs．Think about sea salt，local spices or sauces，and regional oils and vinegars． Eatable gifts are almost always appreciated，saving you the stress of finding the“perfect”gift for each person on your list．
小題1:The passage aims to tell the readers how to________．
A．take a plane without waiting for long
B．spend your holidays abroad economically
C．eat in a pricey restaurant at the smallest expense
D．save money to buy eatable gifts in a foreign market
小題2:What does the underlined word“perk” in Line 4 mean?
A．Special benefit．B．Strict standard．
C．Common scene．D．Extra trouble．
小題3:Which of the following will best help you save time and money?
A．Choosing a bigger airport．B．Visiting local markets．
C．Having dinner at the hotel．D．Taking an express train．
小題4:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Having coffee at a cafe will cost more money．
B．Souvenirs bought at local markets are expensive．
C．You will run out of your money if you eat out．
D．Markets help you understand your tourist destination．

A shopping center is a place where many different shops and stores are collected under one roof. You can buy everything there and there are also banks, restaurants and, sometimes, a post office.
