9、 每题2分 共30分Two new studies have investigated why fewer women, compared to men, study and work in the so-called STEM subjects in the United States: science, technology, engineering and mathematics.The American Association of University Women(AAUW) examined existing research. Its report Why So Few? sug

10、gested ways to interest more girls and women in the STEM fields. The researchers found that cultural and environmental factors make a difference.Researcher Christianne Corbett says more boys than girls score very high on math tests in most countries, but Iceland and Thailand are exceptions. This is

11、something that we point out in our reportthat cultural factors and societal factors can make a difference in who achieves at the very high levels and whether girls are achieving or not.Another study carried out by the Campos Company for the Bayer Corporation in the United States asked more than 1,00

12、0 women and minority members of the American Chemical Society about their experiences.77% said not enough women and minorities are working in STEM today, because they were not encouraged to study those subjects in school.The study, producing results similar to the AAUW research showed theres still a

13、 lot of work to be done. They say their interest in science begins before the age of eleven. So we need programs that get in front of kids while theyre young in elementary school.Increasing diversity in professions leads to better products, better science. And developing this science and engineering

14、 workforce is important to the nations economic development.No matter what career you go into, whether its accounting, human resources or science career, its important that you can think creatively, you can work in teams, you can adapt to change and thats important for everybody, says Rebecca Lucore

15、.21Which of the following is true about the situation in Iceland and Thailand?A.Boys score higher in math tests than girls.B.Girls are given more exceptional attention than boys.C.More girls score higher in math than boys.D.Boys are more creative than girls.22Which of the following are mentioned as

16、important factors for women to go into the STEM fields according to the passage?A.Gender and age. B.Culture and environment.C.Study and work experience. D.Family background.23Whats the importance of having more women engaged in STEM subjects?A.Women can help men in science and engineering work.B.Wom

17、en are wiser and more cooperative than men.C.Women play a more important part in scientific research.D.Having both women and men in science and engineering can produce better scientific achievement.A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However,

18、thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really

19、 shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay pos

20、itive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about

21、the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language

22、will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say do

23、esnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our w

24、ords to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.24There is no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB.talking to ourselves always gives us courageC.we can benefit from talking to ourselvesD.it does no harm to have “se

25、lf-talk” when we are alone25The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _.A.remind ourselves B.praise ourselvesC.make ourselves relaxed D.give ourselves amusement26The author would probably hold the view that _.A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersB.nega

26、tive words may motivate us to make more progressC.people tend to remember friendly wordsD.it is better to think twice before talking to others27In which column of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage?A.News. B.Advice column. C.Health. D.Language.We always make ourselves believe that l

27、ife will be better after we get married and have a baby. Then we are discouraged that the kids arent old enough and well be more content when they are. After that were frustrated(沮丧) that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.We always tell oursel

28、ves that our life will be complete when our mate gets his or her act together, when we get a nice car and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire. The truth is, theres no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. Its best to admit this to

29、ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.One of my favorite quotes(引语) comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin real life. But there was always some obstacle(障碍) in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, ti

30、me still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective (态度)has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have.And remember that time waits for no on

31、e. So stop waiting until you finish school; until you go back to school; until you get married; until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or house; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.Ha

32、ppiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you dont need money, love like youve never been hurt, and dance like no ones watching.28The best title of the passage is .A.Happiness Is a DestinationB.Our Life Will Be Filled with ChallengesC.Life Will Be BetterD.Happiness Is a Journey29The author uses the second paragraph
