第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）My grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two year’s before I was, on August 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts, and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.
During the Depression my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boy’s edocation was the family’s hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the family’s income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home?!” Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C Berkeley.
After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at David’s Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, David’s had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfathers paint business was struggling, she jumped in and looked some of the hard steps he was reluctant to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.
When my grandmother had children of her own—my mother and her two brothers—she emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. D．programme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wife’s help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labour stood.
Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me. My sister, and my brother, all three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym. Despite my athletic shortcomings, I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.
When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I don’t remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also don’t remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activities, and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.
But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home, and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts (相同能力者), highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers.

22．（8分）Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper.
The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.
They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.
The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (气象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.
Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.
If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.
Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.
1、You would most likely find the article in ________.
A．a doctor’s diary B．a travel journal
C．a medical magazine D．a physics textbook
2、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.
B．Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.
C．Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.
D．The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.
3、Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because ________.
A．snow produces more UV light than water
B．people don’t wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beach
C．the reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher than that on the beach
D．human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow- covered areas than on the beach
4、What will the passage most probably talk about next?
A．Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.
B．Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.
C．Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.
D．Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.
23．（8分）A 90-year-old may not be typical for a show's narrator（解说员）,but without the voice of English broadcaster Sir David Attenborough,one of the most successful new shows on television just wouldn't be the same.
BBC's Planet EarthⅡis getting good ratings in the United Kingdom.And Sir David,the man behind the show's voice,describes it as "greatly pleasing".The naturalist is the father of nature documentaries（纪录片）,with a television career that started in 1950.Since then,the London-born broadcaster has traveled the world intent on sharing his discoveries through the television in new ways.

24．（8分）A survey by an international temporary service agency found that U. S. managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.
The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what's more, it may push them up the
