　　A

　　People used to say, “The hand that rocks (摇) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

　　Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them.

　　Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of th

　　em want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.

　　The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.

　　Dear Daughter,

　　As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write to tell you all that is on my mind.

　　First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament(证明) of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

　　Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period when you go from teacher taught to master inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn is of no practical use in real life, the learning skills you get will be something you will value forever.

　　Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don’t be bothered by what others think or say, but make up your own mind. Most importantly, make true friends and be happy. Don’t worry abut their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities.

　　Start planning early what you’d like to do. Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver’s seat--this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you’ll love it!

　　So please treasure your college years--make the best use of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, and learn through your successes and challenges.

　　May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life, and may you grow into just what you dream to be.

　　Statuses are wonderful human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. In our everyday lives whenever we meet people, we always try to judge them in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman and so on.

　　Our statuses often vary with the people we meet, and change through life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume(表现出) the different statuses that various situations require. Much of social communication consists of recognizing and selec

　　ting among proper statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people, based on a constant mental process of assessment and understanding. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather easily.

　　A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and material. But an American is not free to choose the clothes of a Chinese peasant or that

　　of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society.

　　Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our wallet. Having made a choice within these limits, we can have certain changes made. But apart from small adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their shelves. Statuses too come ready-made, and the range of choice among them is limited.

　　68. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses______.

　　A. in order to distinguish themselves from others

　　B. in order to better recognize other people

　　C. as their mental processes change

　　D. as the situation changes

　　69. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, “it” refers to “___”

　　A. constant mental process

　　B. selecting one’s own statuses

　　C. recognition of other people’s statuses

　　D. fitting our actions to those of other properly

　　70. What can be the best title for this text?

　　A. Proper Relations.

　　B. Limited Choices.

　　C. Judgment of Statuses.

　　D. Comparison of Clothes.

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(选项中有两项为多余选项).并在答案卡上将该项涂黑。

　　Urbanization

　　Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 71_ . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的)villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.

　　Britain was only the beginning. 72_ .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.

　　In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 73 .

　　Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. _74 . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.

　　Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 75_ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.

　　A. That kept cities very small.

　　B. The rest live in small towns.

　　C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.

　　D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.

　　E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.

　　F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.

　　G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.
