文章讲述了，性别和种族会影响男女个人收入，而将收入信息公开有助于缩小性别工资差距，实现男女收入平等，帮助女性争取应得的薪酬。

13. Some documents have been making the rounds lately — where people who work various positions in different industries share how much
they’re paid.
Bravo! It’s about time we blew up that old belief that salaries have to stay secret. This is not just a matter of curiosity. Having information about salaries can help narrow the gender wage gap, which has barely changed for more than a decade. Recently released date from the US Census Bureau shows that, on average, women working full time still are paid only 82 cents for every dollar paid to a man. And the gap is even wider for many women of color: Black women make 62 cents, and Latinas just 54 cents. What’s more, the pay gap even extends into her retirement. Because she earned less and therefore paid less to the social security system, she receives less in social security benefits.
Having greater access to salary information is helping to speed things up. A new research report by the American Association of University Women shows that the wage gap tends to be smaller in job sectors where pay transparency (透明) is a must. For example, among federal government workers, there’s just a 13 percent pay difference between men and women, and in state government, the gap is about 17 percent. But in private, for-profit companies, where salaries are generally kept under wraps, the gender wage gap jumps to 29 percent.
Fortunately, salary information is increasingly available on some websites. Certain companies and many human resources departments are pushing ahead with this practice. Of course, it’s going to take more than salary transparency to equalize earnings between women and men. But sharing salaries can and must be part of the solution. The more information women have about how jobs are valued — and what different people earn — the better they will understand their value in the labor market and be able to push for the pay they deserve.
1. Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 2?
A．To reveal the severity of gender wage gap.
B．To confirm the previous belief about salaries.
C．To satisfy readers’ curiosity about others’ salaries.
D．To appeal to readers to share their salary information.
2. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The inequality between men and women.
B．The need to keep salary information a secret.
C．The advantage of working for the government.
D．The benefit of making salary information public.
3. What is the author’s attitude towards sharing salary information?
A．Critical.B．Favourable.
C．Unclean D．Negative.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Why It Pays to Share How Much You Make
B．Where Salary Information Difference Lies
C．What It Takes to Realize Gender Equality
D．How Woman’s Value Improves at Work.

文章主要介绍了一些由才华横溢的女性创造的发明。

14. Women’s Innovative Contributions and Inventions
Women made numerous innovative contributions and inventions throughout history, from everyday items to widely-used technologies. Here are some made by brilliant women.
T he Synthetic(合成的)Fibre
In the 1960s, a company, where Stephanie Kwolek worked, was working on finding a suitable fibre to produce car tyres. During the research, Kwolek achieved a breakthrough when she discovered a heat-resistant polymer that is stronger-but lighter than steel. Then it was used to develop a new synthetic fibre. Today, it is common to see the discovery applied in creating helmets, racing sails and so on.
T he Caller ID and Call Waiting
The caller ID feature has given many people the opportunity to screen unknown or unwanted phone calls. With call waiting, people are notified of a new incoming call while on another call. Interestingly, while receiving a call, that call will not, block the incoming one. Dr Shirley Ann Jackson contributed to these two inventions; during, her research period at Bell Laboratories in the 1970s.
T he M odern Central Heating System
In the 1920s, Alice H. Parker’s model used natural gas to heat a home instead of wood and allowed multiple rooms to be heated at the same time. It also introduced pipes that enabled hot air to circulate through buildings, essentially improving the efficiency of the system.
T he Spray-on Skin Repair T echnology
From the early 1990s, Australian plastic surgeon Dr Fiona Melanie Wood focused her research on improving established techniques of skin repair. The spray-on skin repair technology allowed burns and skin injuries to be treated more effectively and with less pain. With Dr Wood’s constant improvement over the years, the technology is now widely applied in hospitals.
1. Which of the following can facilitate the communication between humans?
A．The synthetic fibre.B．The caller ID and call waiting.
C．The modern central heating system.D．The spray-on skin repair technology.
2. What do we know about the modern central heating system?
A．It needs wood to help it run.B．It is aimed to process natural gas.
C．It helps produce the heat-resistant tyres.D．It contributes to hot air circulation in buildings.
3. What did Dr Wood focus on?
A．Vehicle repair technology.B．Hospital management.
C．Medical treatment.D．Fibre application.

文章主要讲述了在土耳其有一只猫妈妈叼着刚出生不久的小猫出现在了医院来寻求帮助。

猫妈妈展现出的母爱令很多人感动。

15. Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mother’s instincts (本能) are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.
In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital bolding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.
The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets (兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.
When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.
As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.
1. Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?
A．To beg for food.B．To get her babies treated.
C．To express thanks.D．To give birth to her babies.
2. How did the doctors help the baby cat?
A．They built them a home.B．They adopted all of them.
C．They operated on them immediately.D．They gave them right medicine.
3. What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?
A．Their physical state.B．Their eating habit.
C．Their appearance.D．Their behavior.
4. What can we learn from the story?
A．cat has nine lives.B．One good turn deserves another.
C．Love makes a difference.D．God helps those who help themselves.
16. Sharon Okpoe has lived her entire 17 years in Makoko, known as the world’s largest “floating slum (贫民窟)”, built on a lake in Lagos, Nigeria. Okpoe’s father is a fisherman, and her mother sells smoked fish.
As many as two-thirds of the city’s 21 million residents live in slums. “Most girls are trapped in a terrible cycle of poverty. Many of them are not thinking of education, a plan for the future,” Abisoye Ajayi-Akinfolarin, a computer programmer in Lagos, recalls. But several times a week, girls like Okpoe get a glimpse of another world when they attend GirlsCoding, a free program run by the Pearls Africa Foundation that seeks to educate and excite girls about computer programming. Since 2012, the group has helped more than 400 disadvantaged girls gain the technical skills and confidence they need to transform their lives.
It’s the vision of Ajayi-Akinfolarin, who left a successful career to devote herself to this work. She'd noticed how few women worked in this growing field-a 2013 government survey found that less than 8% of Nigerian women were employed in technology jobs. She wanted to fix the gender gap. “Technology is a space that’s dominated by men. Why should we leave that to guys?” she said. “I believe girls need opportunities.”
Now, dozens of girls aged 10 to 17 get trained in computer programming technology. “I believe you can still find diamonds in these places,”Ajayi-Akinfolarin said. “They need to be shown another life.” One way her program does this is by taking the students to visit tech companies — not only showing them what technology can do, but also helping them visualize themselves joining the industry.
Okpoe, for one, has taken this to heart. She helped create an app called Makoko Fresh that went live this summer, enabling fishermen like her father to sell seafood directly to customers. She even wants to become a software engineer and hopes to study computer science at Harvard. “One thing I want my girls to hold onto is, regardless of where they are coming from, that they can make it,” Ajayi said. “They are coders. They are thinkers. Their future is bright.”
1. What can we learn about GirlsCoding?
A．It encourages girls to land a job in education.
B．It offers Nigerian girls in need part-time jobs.
C．It helps girls working in Lagos to fight poverty.
D．It teaches girls in Makoko computer programming.
2. What did Ajayi-Akinfolarin say about the growing field in Paragraph 3?
A．Men could do far better in technology jobs.
B．Girls should get equal work opportunities.
C．Men normally got paid more than women.
D．Girls tended to devote themselves to work.
3. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Rebuilding the girls’ confidence.
B．Training the girls to find diamonds.
C．Presenting a different life to the girls.
D．Taking the girls to technology companies.
4. What can we infer about Okpoe from the last paragraph?
A．She got fishermen to benefit from her app.
B．She was admitted to Harvard University.
C．She took her father’s suggestion to heart.
D．She made some changes to computer science.

文章讲述了冬奥会展现了年轻一代的精神。

18. 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入f适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

This year, several young athletes 1 (shine) brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving us a glimpse of their generation’s nature.
Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave warriors” who want to challenge 2 (impossible) and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s freeski Big Air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of playing it safe, the 18-year-old skier pushed 3 (she) to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork 1620 four and a half rotations in the air before landing.
When 4 (question) by The Guardian at a news conference on Feb 8, the “post-00” said frankly that she wasn’t trying to make everyone
happy.
“I’m an 18-year-old girl out here living my best life. Tm having a great time,” Gu said. “It doesn’t really matter 5 other people are happy or not, because I feel I’m doing my best and I'm enjoying the entire process.”
Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports 6 a way to have fun.
After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men’s slopestyle final, the 17-year-old didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance 7 (compete) with his idol.
“When I was on the platform 8 (hug) Max Parrot, it felt 9 (real),” Su told China Daily. “All I did today was enjoy the runs and concentrate on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy,”
This is young generation that dares to push the limits but also 10 ( enjoy) life.。
