【解析】如果你總是接到陌生人不停打來的電話，一定會感到很苦惱。本文的作者就經(jīng)歷了這樣一件事。當她了解到具體的真相時，真有些忍俊不禁。
【1】根據(jù)語境分析，作者一開始還是很有耐心的，因此用Sorry符合交際場合。句意：抱歉，您打錯了。
【2】由語境可知，盡管作者做了解釋，但對方還是打電話過來。由此可以看出，前后是轉折關系，所以用But。
【3】由語境可知，這里表示的是對方一個電話接著一個電話打過來。此處是固定搭配，表示“打電話”，用make a call。
【4】因為作者誤認為是同一個人打來的電話，并惹得自己的孩子老是哭，因此十分惱火，lose one's temper，意為：發(fā)火。hope希望;interest興趣；sense感覺，知覺。
【5】作者把電話從話機上拿開，想用電話打不通的方式阻止對方再次打電話。表示“離開、遠離”，用off。
【6】顯然作者把電話拿開的目的是使對方泄氣，不至于再次打電話。所以用discourage。frighten使……害怕；puzzle使……迷惑；connect聯(lián)系，連接。
【7】由語境可知，這里表達的意思是:作者剛把話筒放回到話機上，電話又打過來了。四個選項中只有called有“打電詩”之意。
【8】根據(jù)語境分析，作者此時已經(jīng)十分氣惱，警告對方，如果再打騷擾電話，她就會報警。
【9】作者覺得已經(jīng)沒有必要再向對方解釋，因此作者拿起話筒保持沉默（silent)。在這之前都是十分生氣的，因此，如果選A，顯然和前面表示轉折的but相矛盾；而calm指的是心里的平靜，很顯然，作者此時的心情并不平靜，也不符合語境。
【10】前面“ it was the voice of a little girl. “告訴我們，對方只是一個小女孩，根據(jù)語境分析，作者認為對方的父母對孩子沒有管教好，因此B項符合語境。
【11】從后文可知，作者忍無可忍，直接找對方的母親講話，demand to do sth. 表示“強烈要求做某事”，符合作者當時的心情。refuse拒絕;start開始;prefer更喜歡。
【12】to one's surprise意為：讓某人驚訝的是。“我”以為小女孩的惡作劇會遭到她媽媽的批評，所以她不敢讓她媽媽接電話，但是她卻讓她媽媽接了，這一點很出乎“我”的預料。to one's disappointment 讓某人失望的是；to one's joy 讓某人髙興的是;to one's satisfaction讓某人滿意的是。
【13】從前文“It was three in the afternoon”以及“ At 6:30 pm, the phone rang for about the 25th time. ”可知，作者一下午都在不停地接聽電話。
【14】根據(jù)此處的語境可知，作者把幾十個女孩打電話誤以為是一個女孩打電話，因此對方的母親向作者解釋：這絕對是女兒給作者打的第一個電話。
【15】后文“the new assistant”有原詞出現(xiàn)，老師把新來的助教的電話給全班女同學，以便于及時溝通。
【16】老師把電話號碼給錯了，因此用by mistake“錯誤地”，符合語境。
【17】因為老師給錯了電話號碼，因此全班30個女生電話還沒有打完，到了晚上九點還在打電話。still意為:仍然。
【18】上文已經(jīng)有說明，老師給錯了電話號碼。
【19】由下文的"It had turned into a joke now!"可以看出，作者已經(jīng)知道事情的緣由，因此她現(xiàn)在不生氣，而是覺得可笑。
【20】作者當時絕對不會想到原來是一個班所有的女生給她打電話。這里使用了虛擬語氣。

【題目】The statistics I’ve cited and the living examples are all too familiar to you. But what may not be so familiar will be the increasing number of women who are looking actively for advancement of for a new job in your offices. This woman may be equipped with professional skills and perhaps valuable experience. She will not be content to be Executive Assistant to Mr. Seldom Seen of the Assistant Vice President’s Girl Friday, who is the only one who comes in on Saturday.
She is the symbol of what I call the Second Wave of Feminism. She is the modern woman who is determined to be.
Her forerunner was the radical feminist who interpreted her trapped position as a female as oppression by the master class of men. Men, she believed, had created a domestic, servile role for women in order that men could have the career and the opportunity to participate in making the great decisions of society. Thus the radical feminist held that women through history had been oppressed and dehumanized, mainly because man chose to exploit his wife and the mother of his children. Sometimes it was deliberate exploitation and sometimes it was the innocence of never looking beneath the pretensions of life.
The radical feminists found strength in banding together. Coming to recognize each other for the first time, they could explore their own identities, realize their own power, and view the male and his system as the common enemy. The first phases of feminism in the last five years often took on this militant, class-warfare tone. Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and many others hammered home their ideas with a persistence that aroused and intrigued many of the brightest and most able women in the country. Consciousness-raising groups allowed women to explore both their identities and their dreams—and the two were often found in direct conflict.
What is the stereotyped role of American women? Marriage. A son. Two daughters. Breakfast. Ironing. Lunch. Bowling, maybe a garden club of for the very daring, non-credit courses in ceramics. Perhaps an occasional cocktail party. Dinner. Football or baseball on TV. Each day the same. Never any growth in expectations—unless it is growth because the husband has succeeded. The inevitable question: “Is that all there is to life?”
The rapid growth of many feminist organizations attests to the fact that these radical feminists had touched some vital nerves. The magazine “Ms.” was born in the year of the death of the magazine “Life.” But too often the consciousness-raising sessions became ends in themselves. Too often sexism reversed itself and man-hating was encouraged. Many had been with the male chauvinist.
It is not difficult, therefore, to detect a trend toward moderation. Consciousness-raising increasingly is regarded as a means to independence and fulfillment, rather than a ceremony of fulfillment itself. Genuine independence can be realized through competence, through finding a career, through the use of education. Remember that for many decades the education of women was not supposed to be useful.
【1】What was the main idea of this passage?
A. The Second Wave of Feminist.

【2】What was the author’s attitude toward the radical?
A. He supported it wholeheartedly.
B. He opposed it strongly.
C. He disapproved to some extent.
D. He ignored it completely.
【3】What does the word “militant” mean?
A. Aggressive. B. Ambitions.
C. Progressive. D. Independent.
【4】What was the radical feminist’s view point about the male?
A. Women were exploited by the male.
B. Women were independent of the male.
C. Women’s lives were deprived by the male.

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：
【題目】 Apparently everyone knows that global warming only makes climate more extreme. A hot, dry summer has caused another flood of such claims. And one of the players that benefit the most from this story is the media: the idea of “extreme” climate simply makes for more exciting news.
Consider Paul Krugman writing breathlessly in The New York Times about the “rising incidence of extreme events.” He claims that global warming caused the current drought in America’s Midwest, and that supposedly record-high corn prices could cause a global food crisis(危機)。
But the United Nations’s latest assessment tells us precisely the opposite—there has an overall slight tendency toward less dryness in North America. Moreover, there is no way that Krugman could have identified this drought as being caused by global warming without a time machine since climate models estimate that such detection will be possible by 2048, at the earliest.
And, fortunately, this year’s drought appears unlikely to cause a food crisis, as global rice and wheat supplies are plentiful. Moreover, Krugman overlooks inflation(通貨膨脹)：Prices have increased six-fold since 1969.So, the inflation-adjusted price of corn was higher throughout most of the 1970s.
Finally, Krugman forgets that concerns about global warming are the main reason that corn prices have skyrocketed since 2005.Nowadays 40 percent of corn grown in the United States is used to produce ethanol(乙醇)，which raises the price of corn –at the expense of many of the world’s poorest people.
Bill Mickbben similarly worries in The Guardian About the Midwest drought and corn prices.He confidently tells us that fierce wildfires from New Mexico and Colorado to Siberia are “exactly” what the early stages of global warming look like.
In fact, the latest study on global wildfire suggests that fire incidence has declined over the past 70 years and is now close to its preindustrial level.
When well—meaning campaigners want us to pay attention to global warming, they often end up making overstatements. And exaggerated(夸張的) claims merely fuel public distrust and unconcern. That is unfortunate, because global warming is a real problem, and we do need to address it.
【1】In what way do the media benefit from extreme weather?
A. They can give voice to different views.
B. They can make themselves better known.
C. They can choose from a greater variety of topics.
D. They can attract people’s attention to their reports.
【2】 What is the author’s comment on Krugman’s claim about the current drought in America’s Midwest?
A. It will eventually get proof in 2048.
B. It is based on an erroneous climate model.
C. So far there is no way to prove its validity.
D. A time machine is needed to tell if it is true.
【3】What is the chief reason for the rise in corn prices according to the author?
A. Inflation rates have been skyrocketing since the 1970s.
B. A considerable part of corn is used to produce green fuel.
C. Climate change has caused corn supply to drop markedly.
D. Demand for food has been rising in the developing countries.
【4】 What does the author think of the exaggerated claims in
A. They lead to public distrust about science.
B. They create confusion about climate change,
C. They are strategies to raise public awareness.
D. They do a disservice to addressing the problem.
