Votes for women
The suffragette(妇女参政权论者) movement, which campaigned for votes for women in the early
twentieth century, is most commonly associated with the Pankhurst family and militant acts of
varying degrees of violence. The Museum of London has drawn on its archive collection to convey
a fresh picture with its exhibition.
The name is a reference to the color scheme that the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU)
created to give the movement a uniform, nationwide image. By doing so, it became one of the first
groups to project a corporate identity, and it is this advanced marketing strategy, along with
the other organizational and commercial achievements of the WSPU, to which the exhibition is
devoted.
Formed in 1903 by the political campaigner Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel
and Sylvia, the WSPU began an educated campaign to put women’s suffrage on the political agenda.
New Zealand, Australia and parts of the United States had already enfranchised women, and growing
numbers of their British counterparts wanted the same opportunity.
With their slogan ‘Deeds not words’, and the introduction of the color scheme, the WSPU soon
brought the movement the cohesion and focus it had previously lacked. Membership grew rapidly
as women deserted the many other less directed groups and joined it. By 1906 the WSPU headquarters,
called the Women’s Press Shop, had been established in Charing Cross Road and in spite of limited
communications (no radio or television, and minimal use of the telephone) the message had spread
around the country, with members and branch officers stretching to as far away as Scotland.
The newspapers produced by the WSPU, first Votes for Women and later The Suffragette, played a
vital role in this communication. Both were sold throughout the country and proved an invaluable
way of informing members of meetings, marches, fund-raising events and the latest news and views
on the movement.
Equally importantly for a rising political group, the newspaper returned a profit. This was partly
because advertising space was bought in the paper by large department stores such as Selfridges,
and jewellers such as Mappin & Webb. These two, together with other likeminded commercial
enterprises sympathetic to the cause, had quickly identified a direct way to reach a huge market
of women, many with money to spend.
The creation of the color scheme provided another money-making opportunity which the WSPU was
quick to exploit. The group began to sell playing cards, board games, Christmas and greeting cards,
and countless other goods, all in the purple, white and green colors. In 1906 such merchandising
of a corporate identity was a new marketing concept.
But the paper and merchandising activities alone did not provide sufficient funds for the WSPU
to meet organizational costs, so numerous other fund-raising activities combined to fill the
coffers of the ‘war chest’. The most notable of these was the Woman’s Exhibition, which took
place in 1909 in a Knightsbridge ice-skating rink, and in 10 days raised the equivalent of
￡250,000 today.
The Museum of London’s exhibition is largely visual, with a huge number of items on show. Against
a quiet background hum of street sounds, copies of The Suffragette, campaign banners and
photographs are all on display, together with one of Mrs Pankhurst’s shoes and a number of purple,
white and green trinkets.
Photographs depict vivid scenes of a suffragette’s life: WSPU members on a self-proclaimed
‘monster’ march, wearing their official uniforms of a white frock decorated with purple, white
and green accessories; women selling The Suffragette at street corners, or chalking up pavements
with details of a forthcoming meeting.
Windows display postcards and greeting cards designed by women artists for the movement, and the
quality of the artwork indicates the wealth of resources the WSPU could call on from its talented
members.
Visitors can watch a short film made up of old newsreels and cinema material which clearly reveals
the political mood of the day towards the suffragettes. The program begins with a short film devised
by the ‘antis’ – those opposed to women having the vote -depicting a suffragette as a fierce
harridan bullying her poor, abused husband. Original newsreel footage shows the suffragette Emily
Wilding Davison throwing herself under King George V’s horse at a famous race-course.
Although the exhibition officially charts the years 1906 to 1914, graphic display boards outlining
the bills of enfranchisement of 1918 and 1928, which gave the adult female populace of Britain
the vote, show what was achieved. It demonstrates how advanced the suffragettes were in their
thinking, in the marketing of their campaign, and in their work as shrewd and skilful
image-builders. It also conveys a sense of the energy and ability the suffragettes brought to
their fight for freedom and equality. And it illustrates the intelligence employed by women who
were at that time deemed by several politicians to have ‘brains too small to know how to vote’.

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements.
Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest
possible words on Answer Sheet 2.
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
The most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing can exceed the joy of
discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of
information you come across accidentally, or a sudden insight, fitting together pieces of
information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the “payoff” in education.
A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in it – but no teacher can make the
excitement or the joy happen. That’s up to you.
A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor,
leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of
discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and
individual process, and ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make
exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, that are basic to education. But the research
paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to
your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is
more than just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and
synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic
tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering, an education. So, to produce a good research
paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!
To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced
before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening.
But there is no need to approach the research paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should
view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish,
a goal within reach if you use the help this book can give you.

注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should
decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line
through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to
do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.
Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly
wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key
ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn’t hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her
actions and liable for their consequences.
Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --
accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust,
no law and, ultimately, no society.
My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned,
to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior
are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.
Fortunately there are still communities -- smaller towns, usually -- where schools maintain
discipline and where parents hole up standards that proclaim: “In this family certain things
are not tolerated -- they simply are not done!”
Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are
loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what
he wants, including your life if you enrage him.
The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime
was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it’s the criminal
who is considered victimized (受害): by his underprivileged upbringing (培养), by the school that
didn’t teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the
parents who didn’t provide a stable home.
I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in
criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society
of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is
the one responsible for it.
注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。
52. What the wise man said suggests that ________.
A) it’s unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evil
B) It’s certain that evil will prevail if good men do nothing about it
C) it’s only natural for virtue to defeat evil
D) it’s desirable for good men to keep away from evil
53. According to the author, if a person is found guilty of a crime ________.
A) society is to be held responsible
B) modern civilization is responsible for it
C) the criminal himself should bear the blame
D) the standards of living should be improved
54. Compared with those in small towns, people in large cities have ________.
A) less self-discipline
B) better sense of discipline
C) more mutual respect
D) less effective government
55. The writer is sorry to have noticed that ________.
A) people in large cities tend to excuse criminals
B) people in small towns still stick to old discipline and standards
C) today’s society lacks sympathy for people in difficulty
D) people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities
56. The key point of the passage is that ________.
A) stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and families
B) more good examples should be set for people to follow
C) more restrictions should be imposed on people’s behavior
D) more people should accept the value of accountability
Passage Two
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic management
in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog (齿轮的嵌齿) in the machinery. The oiling is done
with higher wages, well-ventilated (通风良好的) factories and piped music, and by psychologists
and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become
powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it.
In fact, the blue-and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets (木偶) who dance to
the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job;
they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in
life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence
as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those
of their subordinates (下属). They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly
competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter
of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well
as for the right mixture of submissiveness (服从) and independence. From that moment on they are
tested again and again -- by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their
superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need
to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety
and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to
nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by
returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system
from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are
ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his
potentialities -- those of love and of reason -- are the aims of all social arrangements. Production
and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。
57. By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery” the author intends to say that man is ________.
A) a necessary part of the society though each individual’s function is negligible
B) working in complete harmony with the rest of the society
C) an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society, though functioning smoothly
D) a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly
58. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that ________.
A) they are likely to lose their jobs
B) they have no genuine satisfaction or interest in life
C) they are faced with the fundamental realities of human existence
D) they are deprived of their individuality and independence
59. From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those ________.
A) who are at the bottom of the society
B) who are higher up in their social status
C) who prove better that their fellow-competitors
D) who could keep far away from this competitive world
60. To solve the present social problems the author suggests that we should ________.
A) resort to the production mode of our ancestors
B) offer higher wages to the workers and employees
C) enable man to fully develop his potentialities
D) take the fundamental realities for granted
61. The author’s attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized as one of ________.
A) approval B) dissatisfaction
C) suspicion
D) tolerance

The graph shows the increase in the aging population in Japan, Sweden and the USA, which indicates
that the percentage of elderly people in all three countries is expected to increase to almost
25% of the respective population by the year 2040. According to the graph, in 1940 the proportion
of people aged 65 or more stood at only 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the
USA. However, while the figures for the Western countries grew to about 15% in around 1990, the
figure for Japan dipped to only 2.5% for much of this period, before rising to almost 5% again
at the present time. In spite of some fluctuation in the expected percentage, the proportion of
old people will probably continue to increase in the next two decades in the three countries,
with a more dramatic rise predicted between 2030 and 2040 in Japan.
The longer life expectancy can be attributed to improvement of life texture, advances of medical
science and awareness of better health, to which people must attach due emphasis. And the joint
efforts of both governmental institutions and each household should be made to ensure all-around
happiness of senior citizens with more care and communication.

18. M: I can hardly breathe. Would you please put your cigarette out?
W: I\'m sorry that I\'m bothering you, but this is the smoking section. Why don\'t you ask the
stewardess to change your seat?
Q: What does the woman think the man should do?
Long Conversation 1
W: Hi, Tom!
M: Judy.
I haven\'t seen you in weeks.
Where have you been?
W: In Florida.
M: What vacationing! While the rest of us studying on the campus in February cold?
W: Not exactly.
I spent most of my time under water.
M: I don\'t understand.
W: I was on a special field trip.
M: So you went scuba diving.
I went with my marine biology class.
What were you looking for? Sunken treasure?
,
,
W: You might say so. The sea\'s full of treasures. All kinds of strange fascinating organisms.
Our class concentrated on studying plankton.
M: I found plankton were too small to be seen.
W: That\'s a common misconception. The term plankton covers a wild variety of freely flowing plants
and animals, from microscopic one cell organisms to larger ones, such as the common jellyfish.
M: Jellyfish may be large enough to be seen.
But they are transparent, aren\'t they?
W: Yes, most planktons have transparent tissues as protected camouflage, it makes them
practi¬cally invisible to predators.
M: But not invisible to your biology class, I hope.
W: By concentrating, I was able to see the outlines of lots of different plankton plants and
ani¬mals. In fact, our professor even took photographs of gastropods, which are small oceanic
snails.
M: How would the snails show up in the photographs of their transparence?
W: We scoured it with harmless green dye since particles of the dyes stuck to their tissues, the
snails appeared in green outline in the photographs.
M: That sounds like an interesting trip. But I think if I\'d been in Florida in February, I\'d
much rather spend my time just swimming and lying in the sun.
Q 19: Why was the woman in Florida?
Q 20: Where did the woman spend most of her time while she was in Florida?
Q 21: What is NOT true about plankton according to the woman?
Long Conversation 2
W: Richard, what\'s that under your paper?
M: What\'s what?
W: Lift up your arm.
What\'s this?
M: Oh, that. Uh, that\'s a grocery list.
I\'ve got to pick up some things on my way home.
W: Do you really expect me to believe that?
M: Well, that\'s what it is.
W: (reading) Soren Kierkegaard, Denmark, 1800s, Hegel, Germany, Sartre, Paris, 1900s... An
interesting \"grocery\" list, Mr. Jackson.
M: Oh, gee, let me see that.
Oh, my gosh, they must be my notes.
How did they get here?
W: I\'d like to see you in my office, please. ( They leave the classroom and go to the office
down the hall. ) Now, Richard, would you care to explain how the answers to the test questions
ap¬peared on your desk?
M: I can\'t.
Someone must have left them on my desk.
W: Someone left them on your desk \\ Someone with handwriting identical to yours left them on
your desk? I\'m afraid I can\'t accept that answer.
M: Are you accusing me of cheating?
W: Yes, I am.
M: You can\'t do that without proof! I\'m going to call my counselor!
W: By all means, do that. In the meantime, however, don\'t come to class again. I am extremely
dis¬appointed in your behavior.
M: (grumbling to himself as he leaves) What a pig-headed, narrow-minded jerk!

Section B
Passage One
Job-seeking skills research clearly proves that employers focus on four areas during an inter¬view :
1 ) attitude, which counts approximately 40 percent; 2 ) appearance, 25 percent; 3 ) commu¬nication
skills (verbal and nonverbal) , 25 percent; and 4) job skill qualifications, 10 percent. Does
this surprise you? When you analyze it, it shouldn\'t. Remember, you are screened into the
interview on the basis of your resume, cover letter, and application for employment, which outline
your education, work experience, and qualifications for the job. The interview, which usually
lasts from 20 to 40 minutes, does not provide adequate time for employers to evaluate this kind
of background information. Employers request this data beforehand so that they may have the time
necessary to read and review your background as it relates to the job, and to compare it with
infor¬mation submitted by other applicants.
The employer\'s purpose for giving you an interview is to get to know you as a person. This is
why your attitude is the most important determinant of your success in the interview. Likewise,
your appearance is the very first thing the interviewer will evaluate — and first impressions
do make lasting impressions. Of course, job skill qualifications also count during the interview,
and it is your responsibility to make certain your qualifications for the job are clearly covered
during the interview.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you\'ve just heard.
Q26: What is the most important element that will determine your success in the interview?
Q27: What is the employer\'s purpose for giving you an interview?
Q28: Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
Passage Two
Is there such a thing as a typical American film? There are many features that mark a movie as
American, but perhaps the most essential is the theme of the loner hero. From the earliest days
of silent films until the recent science movies, the American movie has concentrated on the role
of one individual who spends his or her life combatting the forces of evil — and the good guy,
the hero, usually wins.
In the western movie, which comes out of many legends of the American West, a typical fig¬ure
is the lonesome cowboy. He wanders into a town and straightens out its troubles. Then the strong
and independent hero rides off into the sunset alone. Americans like this image in their films
because they are highly independent, and individualism counts a great deal with them.
Even the gangster movie, a very popular form of the typical American film, usually has a hero,
Either he is a lawman out to catch the criminals or a gangster who suddenly sees the light and
tries to go straight.
Recent science fiction films deal with the same themes. Against the forces of alien powers, people
will fight to protect their ideals. Here, too, the action centers around a single individual,
but now he or she must save the world.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you\'ve just heard.
Q29: Which kind of films is NOT discussed in the passage?
Q30: Why do Americans like the image of the lonesome cowboy in their films?
Q31: What is the basic theme of a typical American film?
Passage Three
In general, American food is mild tasting; most Americans do not season their food to any great
degree. Salads are very popular and are served all year, but especially in the summer. Wai¬ters
tend to assume that everyone drinks coffee, but simply tell them if you wish something else. If
a waiter says \"Now or later?\" he means \"Do you want coffee with your meal or after it?\" Many,
but certainly not all, Americans drink coffee or tea with their meals. Either way is perfectly
ac¬ceptable. When dining out, you can ask for tea, milk, \"coke\" , wine or beer if you prefer.
Res¬taurants can only serve beer, wine, or other alcoholic drinks if they have a license, that
is, per¬mission from the local government to serve alcoholic drinks. Normally, when eating in
a private home, it is considered better manners to take whatever is being served and not to ask
for some¬thing different, unless the hostess gives you a choice.
The main course served in American meals is usually meat, fish, or poultry, but rarely is more
than one of these served at the same meal. Seafood is sometimes served as a first course, however.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you\'ve just heard.
Q32: Which kind of food is very popular and is served all year round?
Q33: What does a waiter mean when he says \"Now or later?\"
Q34: What is considered better manners when dining in a private home?
Q35: Which of the following is NOT usually served as the main course in American meals?

as well as their products to the public.
46. After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they
look, permit themselves to become so fat?

Votes for women
The suffragette(妇女参政权论者) movement, which campaigned for votes for women in the early
twentieth century, is most commonly associated with the Pankhurst family and militant acts of
varying degrees of violence. The Museum of London has drawn on its archive collection to convey
a fresh picture with its exhibition.
The name is a reference to the color scheme that the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU)
created to give the movement a uniform, nationwide image. By doing so, it became one of the first
groups to project a corporate identity, and it is this advanced marketing strategy, along with
the other organizational and commercial achievements of the WSPU, to which the exhibition is
devoted.
Formed in 1903 by the political campaigner Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel
and Sylvia, the WSPU began an educated campaign to put women’s suffrage on the political agenda.
New Zealand, Australia and parts of the United States had already enfranchised women, and growing
numbers of their British counterparts wanted the same opportunity.
With their slogan ‘Deeds not words’, and the introduction of the color scheme, the WSPU soon
brought the movement the cohesion and focus it had previously lacked. Membership grew rapidly
as women deserted the many other less directed groups and joined it. By 1906 the WSPU headquarters,
called the Women’s Press Shop, had been established in Charing Cross Road and in spite of limited
communications (no radio or television, and minimal use of the telephone) the message had spread
around the country, with members and branch officers stretching to as far away as Scotland.
The newspapers produced by the WSPU, first Votes for Women and later The Suffragette, played a
vital role in this communication. Both were sold throughout the country and proved an invaluable
way of informing members of meetings, marches, fund-raising events and the latest news and views
on the movement.
Equally importantly for a rising political group, the newspaper returned a profit. This was partly
because advertising space was bought in the paper by large department stores such as Selfridges,
and jewellers such as Mappin & Webb. These two, together with other likeminded commercial
enterprises sympathetic to the cause, had quickly identified a direct way to reach a huge market
of women, many with money to spend.
The creation of the color scheme provided another money-making opportunity which the WSPU was
quick to exploit. The group began to sell playing cards, board games, Christmas and greeting cards,
and countless other goods, all in the purple, white and green colors. In 1906 such merchandising
of a corporate identity was a new marketing concept.
But the paper and merchandising activities alone did not provide sufficient funds for the WSPU
to meet organizational costs, so numerous other fund-raising activities combined to fill the
coffers of the ‘war chest’. The most notable of these was the Woman’s Exhibition, which took
place in 1909 in a Knightsbridge ice-skating rink, and in 10 days raised the equivalent of
￡250,000 today.
The Museum of London’s exhibition is largely visual, with a huge number of items on show. Against
a quiet background hum of street sounds, copies of The Suffragette, campaign banners and
photographs are all on display, together with one of Mrs Pankhurst’s shoes and a number of purple,
white and green trinkets.
Photographs depict vivid scenes of a suffragette’s life: WSPU members on a self-proclaimed
‘monster’ march, wearing their official uniforms of a white frock decorated with purple, white
and green accessories; women selling The Suffragette at street corners, or chalking up pavements
with details of a forthcoming meeting.
Windows display postcards and greeting cards designed by women artists for the movement, and the
quality of the artwork indicates the wealth of resources the WSPU could call on from its talented
members.
Visitors can watch a short film made up of old newsreels and cinema material which clearly reveals
the political mood of the day towards the suffragettes. The program begins with a short film devised
by the ‘antis’ – those opposed to women having the vote -depicting a suffragette as a fierce
harridan bullying her poor, abused husband. Original newsreel footage shows the suffragette Emily
Wilding Davison throwing herself under King George V’s horse at a famous race-course.
Although the exhibition officially charts the years 1906 to 1914, graphic display boards outlining
the bills of enfranchisement of 1918 and 1928, which gave the adult female populace of Britain
the vote, show what was achieved. It demonstrates how advanced the suffragettes were in their
thinking, in the marketing of their campaign, and in their work as shrewd and skilful
image-builders. It also conveys a sense of the energy and ability the suffragettes brought to
their fight for freedom and equality. And it illustrates the intelligence employed by women who
were at that time deemed by several politicians to have ‘brains too small to know how to vote’.
