Mary Wollstonecraft, a famous writer, was born on April 27th, 1759 in Spitalfields, London. She
grew up in a difficult family situation. His father was violent and drunken every day. In 1778,
she was tired of such a life and decided to take a job as a lady’s companion to Sarah Dawson.
This proved a difficult experience as she didn’t get on well with the old lady.
However, around this time, she made friends with Fanny Blood, who played an important
role in widening Mary’s ideas. The two became very close and Fanny Blood’s death in 1785 was
quite a shock to Mary.
For a while, Mary worked as a tutor in a large Irish family. She had a talent for teaching but
took a dislike to Lady Kingsborough. To Mary, Kingsborough was not a perfect woman. In Lady
Kingsborough, she saw a woman with no real independence, but primarily concerned with
appearances and pleasing men. Mary later developed her thoughts on the concept of a good wife.
Mary had a desire to become a writer. Mary returned to London where she met with famous
men such as Thomas Paine, William Godwin and Joseph Johnson. In London, she became more
aware of new political and philosophical ideas. The late eighteenth century was an era of change.
The old “divine rights (王权神受)” of kings was being replaced with greater faith in human
共 12 页第 4 页
reason and liberty.
In 1790, she wrote the Vindication of the Rights of Men. This sought to protect the principles
of the French Revolution against Edmund Burke’s conservative critique (批评). Shortly after the
Vindication of the Rights of Men, Mary wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women. This was a
ground-breaking book, as it proposed women were the equal of men.
24. How old was Mary when she met Sarah Dawson
A. 19. B. 26. C. 31. D. 33.
25. What gave Mary strength during her early difficult time
A. Meeting with Thomas Paine. B. Teaching in an Irish family.
C. Fanny Blood’s friendship. D. Lady Kingsborough’s guidance.
26. What did Mary say about Kingsborough
A. She was a good wife. B. She was a talented woman.
C. She was very beautiful. D. She was kind of dependent.
27. What idea does A Vindication of the Rights of Women mainly deliver
A. Women should unite to fight to the death.
B. Women should have the same rights with men.
C. Women should serve as good wives for men.
D. Women should maintain their relationships with men.
C
Technologically, the 20-year jump from 2015 to 2035 will be huge. Back in 1995 we were in the
early days of the Internet, we worked in small rooms and our computers were heavy and powered
by Windows 95. There were no touch screen phones or flat screen TVs; people laughed at the
idea of reading electronic books.
So, what will our world really be like in 2035 What will the future jobs and technology be
like The world in 2035 will probably be much like it is today, but smarter and more automatic.
We can see the future of our work first.
Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving Uber cars and receptionists will be replaced by
robots. Doctors can use vast medical databases and travel agents will be wiped out by trip-
planning, flight-booking web services. Even writers are threatened by companies such as
Narrative Science, which currently uses AI to create sports reports and financial updates.
Obviously, there will also be new jobs created: the computer engineer who fixes the self-
driving Uber taxis, programmers, space tour guides and vertical (垂直的) farmers. Technology
共 12 页第 5 页
will continue to disrupt (扰乱) businesses and get rid of jobs, creating new professions we can’t
yet envisage now.
Those of us who work probably won’t do so in a traditional office either. We’re already seeing
a shift in the definition of work. It’s now a task you perform, not a place you go to. Productivity
is no longer measured by sitting at a desk. There’s no nine to five. No job for life.
The biggest advantage of working from home is that you save a lot of time commuting back
and forth to work. You can spend extra time with your children or spouse and read the newspaper
instead of sitting in traffic. Of course, advanced technology will ensure that most of us can work
from home.
28. What’s the function of the questions in paragraph 2
A. Leading in the topic of the article. B. Raising the thinking of the readers.
C. Introducing the work of the future. D. Inspiring readers to explore the future.
29. What does the underlined word “envisage” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Assess. B. Ignore. C. Imagine. D. Reject.
30. Where will most people work in the future
A. In the office. B. At the hotel. C. In the open air. D. At home.
31. What will be discussed in the following paragraph
A. The future health. B. The future technology.
C. The future marriage. D. The future transportation.
D
Many cities in the United States could grow their own food locally, raising enough crops and
cattle to meet the needs of all residents. This is the finding of an interesting new modeling study
from Tufts University, which analyzed the potential for local food production in 378 areas across
the US and expected food production.
The researchers found that cities in the Northwest in the United States had the greatest
potential to raise their own food. Cities along the Eastern seaside and in the Southwest had the
least potential and would not be able to meet all their own needs of diet, even if every acre of
agricultural land was used for food production. This makes sense, as many of the cities are coastal
and lack room for agricultural spreading.
The study revealed that the United States have a surplus (多余的) of agricultural land for
feeding the domestic (国内的) population. Currently, some land is used to raise export crops, but
a focus on local food production would start a conversation about how that land gets used. In the
共 12 页第 6 页
words of Peters, lead author and associate professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science
and Policy at Tufts, “It would be important to make sure policies for supporting local or regional
food production benefit conservation and create opportunities for farmers to adopt more
sustainable (可持续的) practices. Policies should also recognize the ability of the natural
resources in a given local or region and consider the supply chain, including ability for food
processing and storage.”
Although it’s a far cry from the current reality, it is a nice thought to imagine cities surrounded
by food production operations that transport freshly harvested food to nearby homes, and then
make use of the leftover food to fertilize fields and generate heat for greenhouses.
32. The cities along the Eastern seaside fail to provide enough food because________.
A. citizens are unwilling to grow crops
B. the methods of food production are wrong
C. they don’t have enough land to grow crops
D. their climate limits the agricultural production
33. What will the focus on local food production lead to
A. More job opportunities for citizens. B. More specific policies about using land.
C. Conversations with the local government. D. A discussion on how to make use of land.
34. In which section can we read this text in a newspaper
A. Agriculture. B. Entertainment. C. Lifestyle. D. Sport.
35. What is the best title of this text
A. The US Government Stops Wasting Food
B. Many Cities in the US Can Grow Their Own Food
C. Cities Learn to Grow Food from the Villages
D. Farmers Have More Chances to Be Employed

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for
Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed.
They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the
kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6:00 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly

to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and
left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in
some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on
the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff
started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna
threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down
the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute,
the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and
turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they
could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he
gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of
burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
