British Women Writers in different periods of time
The English Renaissance
The English Renaissance began in the later part of the fifteent h century and lasted until the 1660s. Among the most famous
women writers of this period is Aphra Behn, who is seen as th e first professional woman writer in English. She wrote a num ber of plays that dealt with topics such as racism and slavery.
A good example is Oroonoko published in 1688. Aphra Behn' s works include also the plays The Amourous Pri
nce, The Town Fop, The Dutch Lover and her only tragedy, A bdelazer.
The neoclassical period
Among the well-
known women in Bristish literature during the neoclassical per iod, from 1660 to the end of the eighteenth century, is Anne Fi nch. She wrote poetry and tried to express all that she saw an d experienced. Two other women are recognized for their con tribution to neoc
lassical British literature: Mary Astell and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Mary Astell was a philosopher and a feminist writer. She is best known now for her theories on the education of w omen.
The Romantic period
Jane Austen is one of the most famous women writers that w orked during the Romantic period (1798-
1832). Her works include several novels, most of which focus on marriage as a way for young women to secure social stand
ing and economic security. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. Another fa mous woman writer from the English Romanticism is Mary Sh elley. She is the author of Frankenstein, History of Six Weeks Tour and The Last Man.

Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte produced many British literary classics. Charlotte's nov els include Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette and The Professor. Mar y Anne Evans adopted the male pen name George as she wa nted to set herself apart from the feminine genre of cookbook s and domestic moral tales. Her most famous novel is The Mil l on the Floss published in 1860.
21. According to the passage, Aphra Behn’s plays mainly con cern __________.
A. racism and slavery
B. economic security
C. education of women
D. cooking and gardening
22. Which period does Jane Austen belong to?

C. the Romantic period.
D. the Victorian period.
23.Why did Mary Anne Evans publish her stories under the na me of George Eliot?

Visitors to the grounds of New College at England’s Oxford U niversity pass under an iron gate with the advice: Manners ma ke the man. Even after an appropriate update to: Manners ma ke the person, it’s thought-provoking(引人深思的)—especially to today’s Americans.
When we think about what makes the person—
it’s more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?
We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerabl e. Nevertheless, we forget or overlook our manners. So it see ms, does everyone else—including, unluckily, our children.
As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our c ampuses and see our students though we’re separated by diff erent generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each stu dent tells me something within the first few minutes that we m eet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the wa y she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly p erson enters the room.
In the absence of manners, however, I make some allowance s. For instance, the many ethnic(种族
的)groups that students represent often have different explan ations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what they’ve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that there’s some hope for reviving an
d good manners.
Good manners don’t just guarantee acceptance. Good manne rs open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful rol es in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another p erson in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance.
25. Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to peo ple today?
A. Handsome income.
B. Polite behavior.
C. An academic degree.
D. High ranks in the office
26. The main idea of paragraph 4 is more likely that .
A. manners can be taught in different ways
B. how the president of New College cares about his students
C. generation gap does exist between students and faculty m embers
D. what students say and do can indicate if they have manner ed behavior
27. From the last paragraph we can learn that the biggest ben efit by good manners would be that .
A. Good manners guarantee acceptance of others
B. Good manners inspire students to study harder
C. Good manners help deeper connections with others
D. Good manners guarantee students to get whatever they w ant
C
The Leaning Tower of Pisa was not leaning when it was built i n 1173 and it was straight like a pole. It started to shift directio n soon after construction because of poor foundation in additi on to the loose layer of subsoil(底
土). At the beginning, it leaned to the southeast before the sh aky foundation started to shift leaning towards the southwest. After the period of structural strengthening in the beginning of 21st century, now the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at an angl e of 3.97 degrees.
In 1178, the shift in direction was observed for the first time w hen the construction had progressed further to the third floor. The tower was very heavy for the three-
meter foundation that was built on a weak area of land.
For compensating(补
偿) the leaning position, the builders started to construct the u pper floors with one side higher than the other one. This caus ed the tower to lean in the other direction. This unusual struct ure led to the tower being actually curved. In spite of these eff orts, the tower kept on leaning.
The government of Italy started to plan a prevention of the co mplete collapse of the tower in 1964. However, a request was put forward by the authorities to keep the leaning position be cause of the tourism industry of the region.
After nearly two decades of careful planning by engineers, his torians and mathematicians, the stabilization efforts for the Leaning Tower of Pisa started in 1990. The tower was closed for the general public and the people living nearby moved aw ay. For reducing the total weight of the tower, its seven bells which represented the seven musical notes were removed. T he tower was reopened for the general public on December 1 5, 2001.
In May 2008, after removing another 70 metric tons of earth, t he engineers announced that the tower had been finally stabili zed and it would remain stable for at least 200 years.
28. Why did the Leaning Tower of Pisa began to lean?
A. it was too high like a pole
B. its foundation was far from strong
C. the work of repair was delayed
D. its foundation shook badly
29. When did people notice the Leaning Tower of Pisa shift its direction.
A. as soon as it was constructed
B. at the end of the construction
C. soon after the construction
D. in the course of the construction
30. Why did the authorities prefer to keep the leaning position of the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
A. They wanted to attract more tourists.
B. They lacked funds then.
C. It was a mission impossible to make the Tower up-straight.
D. They were short of engineers, historians and mathematicia ns.
31. Which of the following is the right order according to this p assage?
a. People noticed the tower began to shift its direction.
b. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was repaired for the first time.
d. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was built.
e. The tower was opened to the visitors again.
A. c, d, a, b
B. a, d, c, b

Artificial intelligence can identify skin cancer in photographs w ith the same accuracy as trained doctors, say scientists. The Stanford University team said the findings were "incredibly ex citing" and would now be tested in clinics. Eventually, they bel ieve using AI could revolutionize healthcare by turning anyone 's smart-phone into a cancer scanner.
The AI was repurposed from software developed by Google t hat had learned to spot the differ
ence between images of cats and dogs. It was shown 129,45 0 photographs and told what type of skin condition it was looki ng at in each one.
It then learned to spot the hallmarks of the most common type of skin cancer: carcinoma, and th
e most deadly: melanoma(黑色素
瘤). Only one in 20 skin cancers are melanoma, yet the tumor (肿瘤) accounts for three-quarters of skin cancer deaths. The experiment, detailed in the journal Nature, then tested the AI against 21 trained skin cancer doctors. One of the researc hers, Dr Andre Esteva, told the BBC News website: "We find excitedly, in general, that we are on par with excellent skin ca ncer doctors."
However, the computer software cannot make a full diagnosis
, as this is normally confirmed with a tissue biopsy(活检). Dr Esteva said the system now needed to be tested alo ngside doctors in the clinic. "The application of AI to healthcar e is, we believe, an incredibly exciting area of research that c an be leveraged to achieve a great deal of societal good," he said. "One particular route that we find exciting is the use of th is algorithm on a mobile device, but to achieve this we would have to build an app and test its accuracy directly from a mobi le device." Incredible advances in machine-
learning have already led to AI beating one of humanity's best Go players.
And a team of doctors in London hav
e trained AI to predict when the heart will fail.
32. From the passage we can infer that .
A. Artificial Intelligence must replace human one day
B. We can use Artificial Intelligence to cure skin cancers
C. We can use smart-phone to scan our skin at present
D. The research will be of great help to us and our health care
33. Which one will he agree with according to Dr Esteva?
A. Artificial Intelligence has beaten all of humanity’s best Go p layers.
B. Artificial Intelligence could support assessments by GPs.
C. We still need professional doctors with the help of the syst em.
D. There are too many disadvantages for Artificial Intelligence .
34. The underlined words “on par with” in Para 4 likely mean .
A. inferior to
B. equaled by
C. superior to
D. opposite to
35. What’s probably the best title of this passage?
A. Cancer Doctors Are Out
B. An APP Scanning Skin Cancers
C. Artificial Intelligence—change our future
D. Artificial Intelligence—as good as cancer doctors
