Before World War II, the labor force in the United States was made up almost entirely of men. Those women who did have jobs were, as a rule, single and usually worked in schools, businesses or small factories, particularly in the garment industry. It was only the exceptional married women who worked. Those who did work generally owned their businesses, such as a dress shop or a restaurant. They also may have helped their husbands in their businesses. Since World War II, the entrance of both married or single women in the working world has continued to increase. Today, not only are there more single women available for the labor market, but there are also large numbers of married women, many of whom have children. One of the primary reasons why there’s a noticeable increase in the number of employed women is that more women, both single and married, have become aware of the need for personal self-fulfillment. Of course, other factors have also contributed to the increase in the number of working women. Some of these include a change in the education among many women, who are entering very specialized fields such as medicine, law and computer science. Modern appliances have also reduced the amount of housework and a demand for expensive goods has increased the necessity for a “second outcome”. 16.

Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new view outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on -- but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before. By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Naziism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew. 21. The main idea of the first paragraph is ____C____.

Deaths from cigarettes are likely to more than triple over the next quarter century to 20 every minute around the world, scientists warn in a new global survey. The survey covers 45 countries, 15 more than the previous study. The additional nations are from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Sixty million deaths have been caused by smoking since the 1950s, the investigators estimate. They predict smoking will kill about 10 million people a year by 2020, the vast majority in developing countries where the habit continues to attract young women. Investigators were unable to acquire smoking statistics from every country, which would allow the most precise estimates. Instead, they compared data on lung-cancer death rates among American non-smokers to the lung-cancer death rate in each country to get an estimate of the number of smoking in a nation. The researchers said they used lung-cancer rates as the yardstick (标尺) because in developed countries, lung cancer is closely related to smoking and so seldom caused by any other factor among non-smokers. According to the report, 10 percent of middle-age British men will die from smoking by the time they are 35 to 69 years old. In Poland, 20 percent of men are doomed to die from smoking, the researchers predict. 26. It can be inferred from the passage that now the deaths from cigarettes every minute are most close to ___. A) 6 B) 7 C) 8 D) 9 27. According to the passage, in the previous report countries from ______ are not included. A) Asia B) America C) the eastern Europe D) Africa 28. On reason that more deaths from cigarettes are from developing countries is ____. A) the medical conditions there are very poor B) many women start to smoke there C) there’s no control over cigarette advertising D) there are more male smokers 29. Why lung-cancer is used in the research? ________ A) Because lung-cancer among non-smokers is mainly caused by smoking. B) Because it’s easiest to collect information about lung-cancer. C) Because most smokers have lung-cancer. D) Because lung-cancer is the biggest killer of human beings. 30. Non-smokers have lung-cancer mainly because ________. A) people around them smoke B) they are infected by other patients C) they work too hard D) lung-cancer is the most widespread disease nowadays Part III Vocabulary and Structure (15%) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
