本文导航第1页完形填空第2页阅读理解一第3页阅读理解二第4页阅读理解三第5页写作Students of United States history, seeking to identify the circumstances that encouraged the emergence of feminist movements, have thoroughly investigated the mid-nineteenth-century American economic and social condition that affected the status of women. These historians, however, have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas and activities during the same period. Furthermore, the ideological origins of feminism in the United State have been obscured because, even when historians did take into account those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States, they failed to recognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe. American feminist activists who have been described as “solitary” and “individual theorists” were in reality connected to a movement — utopian socialism — which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Thus, a complete understanding of the origins and development of nineteenth-century feminism in the United States requires that the geographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study already made of social conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism.
The earliest and most popular of the utopian socialists were the Saint-Simonians. The specifically feminist part of Saint-Simonianism has, however, been less studied than the group’s contribution to early socialism. This is regrettable on two counts. By 1832 feminism was the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed its adherents’ energy; hence, by ignoring its feminism, European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism. Moreover, since many feminist ideas can be traced to saint-simonianism European historians’ appreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited.
Saint-Simon’s followers, many of whom were women, based their feminism on an interpretation of his project to reorganize the globe by replacing brute force with the rule of spiritual powers. The new world order would be ruled together by a male, to represent reflection, and a female, to represent sentiment. This complementarity reflects the fact that, while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that there were innate differences between men and women, they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role for both sexes in their utopia.
Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on gender distinction. This minority believe that individuals of both sexes were born similar in capacity and character, and they ascribed male-female differences to socialization and education. The envisioned result of both currents of thought, however, was that women would enter public life in the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improved way of life.
1. It can be inferred that the author consider those historians who describe early feminists in the United States as “solitary” to be
[A] insufficiently familiar with the international origins of nineteenth-century American feminist thought.
[B] overly concerned with the regional diversity of feminist ideas in the period before 1848.
[C] not focused narrowly enough in their geographical scope.
[D] insufficiently aware of the ideological consequences of the Seneca Falls conference.
2. The author’s attitude toward European historians who have studied the Saint-Simonians is primarily one of
[A] approval of the specific focus of their research.
[B] disapproval of their lack of attention to the issue that absorbed most of the Saint-Simonians’ energy after 1832.
[C] approval of their general focus on social conditions.
[D] disapproval of their lack of attention to links between the Saint-Simonians and their American counterparts.
3. The author mentions all of the following as characteristic of the Saint-Simonians EXCEPT
[A] The group included many women among its members.
[B] The group believed in a world that would be characterized by sexual equality.
[C] The group was among the earliest European socialist groups.
[D] Most members believed that women and men were inherently similar in ability and character.
4. It can be inferred from the text that the Saint-Simonians envisioned a utopian society having which of the following characteristics?
[A] It would be worldwide.
[B] It would emphasize dogmatic religious principles.
[C] It would most influence the United States.
[D] It would have armies composed of women rather than of men.
5. According to the text, which of the following would be the most accurate description of the society envisioned by most Saint-Simonians?
[A] A society in which women were highly regarded for their extensive education.
[B] A society in which the two genders played complementary roles and had equal status.
[C] A society in which women did not enter public life.
[D] A social order in which a body of men and women would rule together on the basis of their spiritual power.

本文导航第1页完形填空第2页阅读理解一第3页阅读理解二第4页阅读理解三第5页写作Certain animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between a number of objects ands a smaller number. In his book The Natural History of Selbourne (1786), the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day to make up plover’s nest, and how the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of a single egg but abandon their nest if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been noted by naturalist that a certain type of wasp always provides five-never four, never six-caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch. Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers of food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than human can actually count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problem by stomping their hooves number of times.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survive as a species-as in the case of the eggs-or survive as individuals -as in the case of food. There is on transfer to other situations or from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can “count” only when the objects are present and only when the numbers involved are small-no more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, animals trained to count one kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the numbers, are what interest them. Animal’s admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to evidence of counting, nor do they reveal more than innate instinct, refined by the genes of successive generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers.

A. Careful training is required to teach animals to perform tricks involving numbers

本文导航第1页完形填空第2页阅读理解一第3页阅读理解二第4页阅读理解三第5页写作Relationship Banking
one of the more dissembles trends in the financial-service industry in recent times has been the adoption of programs designed to encourage more personalized relationships between an institution’s employees and its clients, particularly those who are major depositors. The expression most commonly used to describe the type of program is “relationship banking.” A good definition is provided in the 1985 book Marketing Financial Services:
In relationship banking the emphasis is on establishing a long-term, multiple-service relationship; on satisfying the totality of the client’s financial need; on minimizing the need or desire of clients to splinter their financial business among various institutions.
Implicit within any definition of relationship banking is recognition that the financial-service requirements of one individual or relationship group. A successful relationship-banking program is, therefore, independent individual in a large part on the development of a series of financial-service “package,” each designed to meet the needs of identifiably homogeneous groups.
Another dimension of relationship banking is the development of highly personalized relationships between employee and client. In most financial institutions today the client is serviced by any employee who happens to be free at the time, regardless of the nature of the transaction. personalized relationships are therefore difficult to establish. In a full relationship-banking program, however, the client knows there is one individual within the institution who has intimate knowledge of the client’s requirements and preferences regarding complex transactions. over time, the client develops a high level of confidence in this employee. In short, a personalized relationship evolves between client and employee.
1. With what subject is the passage mainly concerned?
A. the decline of the financial-service industry
B. variety within financial services
C. a way making more personal
D. increasing everyday banking transaction

A. they have recently been discontinued
B. they are already being used
C. they will shortly used
D. they will be used in the distant future
3. What is the meaning of the word “institutions” in the first paragraph?
A. banksB. schools
C. hospitalsD. police stations
4. According to the definition of relationship banking quoted in the passage, one of the main aims of this type of banking is to encourage clients to ___.
A. consult with each other concerning their finances
B. keep all their business with a single bank
C. recognize their own banking
D. keep their financial requirement to a minimum
5. According to the passage, what is a necessary first step in instituting relationship banking?
A. resigning bank buildings.
B. hiring congenial staff who make clients welcome.
C. recognizing the needs of groups and individuals.
D. teaching bank employees to be more confident.

Directions：Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words，in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use you own words.
Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs，according to municipal authorities.
A year ago，Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now，the ban has extended to several suburbs，including Mentougou，Fangs- han，Tongzhou，Shunyi，Daxing，Pinggu and Miyun.
The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing‘ s air pollution，as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze.
According to Wang Yuesi，a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences，barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5， harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter.
“Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing，we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment”Wang said.
The issue has divided Chinese netizens，as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but “empty talk. ”
A sample of comments from Weibo：“Why don‘ t those petrochemical plants，power stations and other heavy industries be banned?What is the Ministry of Environmental Protection going to do next?We still need to eat，so please allow us to cook!”
“Right decisions to resolve PM2.5 pollution problems，the option which made by governors is legalistic reserve for ‘pubhc profits’ courses，”some people said.
【参考译文】
Beijing has released many rules and policies to deal with the most eyecatching environmental issues now——smog. Recently， a new regulation was announced that the region of banning of outdoor barbecues is going to be ex- tended from the downtown to countryside.
The government claims barbecue causes great air pollution and is the major culprit of environmentally harmful substances to the air which meet that standard of PM 2.5.
This policy caused great controversy among the citizens in those areas. Some advocates are willing to give up their rights of enjoying the outdoor barbecue， in order to make contribution to the environment. But the others tagged this policy as “empty talk”， as they are more concerned about the pollution from the chemical toxins from the heavy industries.
In my opinion， it is essential to take some steps to protect the environment in Beijing. We should support it ff this measure show the function that keeps the air cleaner. What is more， to eat less barbecue is not a bad idea， as barbecue is not healthy.
