21、According to the majority of Americans, women are every bit as capable of being good political leaders as men. The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom. And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership, most Americans find no difference between women and men on key leadership qualities such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying they’re stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.
So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, it’s not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets.
It’s also not all about work life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about 20% say women’s family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.
Instead, topping the list of reasons, about 40% Americans point to a double standard for women hoping to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male workmates to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate (选民) and American companies are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.
As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in American companies will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say it’s only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.
【1】The underlined word “dominate” in paragraph 1 can be replaced with ________.
A．respect
B．obey
C．follow
D．lead
【2】Which one is NOT the factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according to the recent survey?
A．Quality.
B．Gender Bias.
C．Family responsibilities.
D．Lack of support.
【3】What do most Americans expect to see soon on America’s political stage?
A．More and more women actively engaged in politics.
B．A majority of women voting for a female president.
C．A woman in the highest position of government.
D．As many women in top government positions as men.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．What do most Americans think of women leaders?
B．How to balance work and life for working women?
C．When can women achieve equality in the workplace?
D．Why are women leaders fewer in companies or governments?
22、People in different places have very different ideas about what to eat. In our country, for example, people from the south like to eat rice while people in the north love dumplings or noodles. In Hunan or Sichuan, hot food is people’s favorite; however, people in Shanghai or Suzhou eat sweet dish almost every day.
But even if people live in the same part of the country, their tastes (口味) are not always the same. Old people and young ones have different tastes; men and women also have their different preferences (喜好). In a restaurant, some customs order thick and heavy soup, while others drink thin and clear one. A few people only eat vegetables. They do not eat fish or chicken at all!
So it is not easy for restaurants to meet the needs of all customers (顾客). To make more money, the restaurants in cities try their best to cook different kinds of foods.

23、A breakthrough in electric vehicle(EV)battery design has enabled a 10-minute charge time for a typical EV battery. The record-breaking combination of a shorter charge time and more energy acquired for longer travel range was announced on Oct. 12 in the journal Nature.
“The need for smaller, faster-charging batteries is greater than ever,” said Wang, the William E. Diefenderfer Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State and lead author on the study.“Because the critical raw(未经加工的)materials are short,there are not enough batteries to meet expected demand.”
In August, California’s Air Resources Board passed an extensive plan to restrict and ultimately ban the sale of gasoline-powered cars within the state.“If new car sales are going to shift to battery powered electric vehicles,” Wang explained,“they’ll need to overcome two major drawbacks: They are too slow to recharge and too large to be efficient and affordable. Instead of taking a few minutes at the gas pump, depending on the battery, some EVs can take all day to recharge.”
“Our fast-charging technology works for most energy-dense batteries and will open a new possibility to downsize electric vehicle batteries from 150 to 50 kWh without causing drivers to feel range anxiety,” said Wang,whose lab partnered with a power company to develop the technology. “The smaller, faster-charging batteries will dramatically cut down battery cost and usage of critical raw materials, enabling mass adoption of affordable electric cars.”
“True fast-charging batteries would have immediate impact,” the researchers wrote. “Since there are not enough raw minerals for every internal combustion engine car to be replaced by a 150 kWh-equipped EV, fast charging is necessary for EVs to go mainstream.”
“The study’s partner, the power company,is working to manufacture and commercialize the fast-charging battery for an affordable and sustainable future of vehicle electrification,” Wang said.
【1】What is the EV battery market lacking?
A．Vital substances.
B．Critical technology.
C．High-end products.
D．Scientific market survey.
【2】Which is a disadvantage of the current EV battery?
A．It has an ugly design.
B．It’s too small to offer power.
C．It has a very short service life.
D．Recharging it is time-consuming.
【3】What will Wang’s technology bring about?
A．Fierce market competition.
B．Wide use of affordable electric cars.
C．The disorder of the electric car market.
D．The disappearance of gas-powered cars.
【4】What is the power company doing now?
A．Researching and developing new EVs.
B．Looking for a new sustainable EVs market.
C．Making and marketing the fast-charging battery.
D．Identifying and producing critical raw materials.
24、Some countries have a large number of earthquakes. Japan is one of them, while others do not have many, for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (颤动).Houses fall down. Railways are broken, which causes trains to turn over. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy. Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山), but it is not true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.
A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986.The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute. Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air. What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake? The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906) and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土) walls together by steel frames. Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily.
【1】Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Trains' turning over is directly caused by the earthquakes.
B. Some earthquakes have their centers under the sea.
C. It isn't certain that earthquakes happen near volcanoes.
D. Buildings with concrete walls are better against earth quakes.
【2】Earthquakes often happen .
A. near volcanoes B. Both A and D
C. in Britain D. in Japan
【3】___________ make(s) more loss than the earthquake itself.
A. Nothing
B. Volcanoes
C. Forces inside the earth
D. Terrible waves by the earthquake
【4】When an earthquake happens, ____________can be heard.
A. trains B. thousands of people
C. a great noise D. the powerful forces
25、Several years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and broke a basement window of my house. Due to financial problems, I________it up, thinking I’d get to it someday.
Over the year, I had planned to upgrade to energy-efficient windows. But with the frame (窗框) rusted (锈) and firmly ________in the foundation, whoever did it would need to chisel (凿) it out by hand. It would be a________ process and there were six of those windows in the house. The cost was estimated at $15,000. It was simply________.
