Passage Four
Women earn less than men do. For example, in 1998 the hourly wages of women in the U. S. were 26% less than those of men.
The gap between male and female incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men
varies. It's also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women in ran
industry, the lower the average wages.
Why do women earn less than men do? Can the differences be explained by the fact that women are looked
down upon? If so, the government has to intervene(干预), to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of
the gap. One view argues that women, on the average, have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative
to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background.
Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some prejudice (偏见) against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to
increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new
workers declines. The result will be a surplus 过剩) of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs
might find themselves out of work.

A. there are more than enough women in the labor force
B. women have more freedom in selecting jobs
C. women are only provided with low-paid jobs
D. women are less experienced than men

第4题：
According to the American linguist, Deborah Tannen, communication habits vary depending on individual personality, culture, and among other factors, gender(性别). Since male ways of communicating are standard in business, women’s ways of talking are often ignored or misunderstood in the workplace. Tannen emphasizes that female and male style. are both valid(有效的). Here are some of Tannen’s main points:
Conversational styles in boys and girls show up(显现)early. Even 5-year-old boys care about their ranks in the group, while 5-year-old girls care more about being in or out of the group. Therefore, men’s conversational styles often use competition(竞争), while women try to keep the appearance of equality(平等).
Women tend to apologize more than men, as an attempt(试图)to restore(恢复)the power balance (权力平衡) in conversation. When men simply accept the apology rather than part of the responsibility, women feel unjustly (不公正地)blameD.Western women favor indirect ways of speaking, which is interpreted(理解)by Western men as showing insecurity(局促不安) and lack of confidence(缺乏自信). However, this gender difference is also a cultural difference: Japanese business culture demands indirectness, and direct approach used by Western businessmen is often seen as rude by the Japanese.

第10题：
Breast Cancer Deaths Record Low
The number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to a record low by dropping under 12,000 a
year for the first time since records began.
The Cancer Research UK data showed that 11,990 women died in the UK in 2007.
The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1 97 1一 the year records began一after which it rose
steadily year by year until the late 1980s.
Professor Peter Johnson,Cancer Research UK's chief clinician,said,"It's incredibly encouraging to see fewer
women dying from breast cancer now than at any time in the last 40 years,despite breast cancer being diagnosed
more often."
"Research has played a crucial role in this progress,leading to improved treatments and better
management for women with the disease."
"The introduction of the NHS（国民保健制度）breast screening program has also contributed as the
earlier cancer is diagnosed,women are more likely to survive."
Breast cancer is now the nost common cancer in the UK with 45,500 women every year diagnosed with
the disease一a 50% rise in 25 years.
The number of deaths peaked in 1989,when 15,625 women died.It then fell by between 200 and 400
deaths each year until 2004.
There was a slight rise in 2005 and then two years of falls.
Dr. Sarah Cant,policy manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer,said,"It is great news that fewer women
are dying from breast cancer and highlights the impact of improved treatments,breast screening and
awareness of the disease."
"However,there are still too many women affected and the incidence of the disease is increasing year by
year.,,
The rising rate of breast cancer diagnosis has been put down to a variety of factors including obesity
（肥胖）and alcohol consumption.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
该题句意为：在英国，乳腺癌患者的死亡统计是从1971年开始的。根据文章第三段中 "The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1971一the year records began...”可知，先前的最 低点是在1971年，即开始作统计的那一年。由此得知该推论是正确的。
该题句意为：在英国乳腺癌诊断的比率一直在下降。根据第四段中“...despite breast cancer being diagnosed more often."(······尽管被诊断为乳腺癌的病例越来越常见）可知，该论 断是错误。
该论断在文章中未提及。
该论断在文章中未提及。
该题句意为：2005年英国死于乳腺癌的女性人数少于2004年。根据倒数第四段中 "There was a slight rise in 2005"(2005年人数略微上升）可以推断，该论断是错误的。
最后一段中说ohesity（肥胖）and alcohol consumption是诱发乳腺癌的原因，但未提及其 他疾病，因此选C。Put downto的意思是“归因于”。
