三、阅读理解
Mary Lyon was a leader in women's education in the nineteenth century. It was a time when women's education was not considered important in the United States. States did require each town to provide a school for children, but there were not enough teachers. Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music.
Mary Lyon felt that women's education was extremely important. She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland. She suggested new ways of teaching, including holding discussion groups for students.
Then, Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women. This school would own its own property (财产), guided by an independent group of directors. Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors. It would not depend on any one person to continue. And, the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down. In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. In 1893, 34 years after her death, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men.
Mary's efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as the many students from her schools went out to teach others.

三、
答案:1-4.BCBD
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music.可知,大多数年轻女性无法继续接受教育。即使她们能接受教育,除了法语、如何缝制衣服和音乐之外,她们通常不会学到多少东西。所以19世纪美国女性的教育问题是她们能选择的学习科目很少。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的Mary Lyon felt that women's education was extremely important.以及Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland.可知,玛丽 莱昂认为女性的教育极其重要。她在巴克兰为年轻女性开办了一所学校。所以我们能从第二段中了解到,玛丽很重视女性的教育。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的This school would own its own property, guided by an independent group of directors. ...It would not depend on any one person to continue.可知,这所学校将拥有自己的财产,由一个独立的董事会指导。它的资金将由董事们负责,不依靠任何人。所以玛丽 莱昂开办的学校在资金上是独立的。故B选项正确。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段 Mary's efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as the many students from her schools went out to teach others.可知,玛丽的努力使美国妇女接受高等教育这件事得到了普及。她的影响一直持续至今,因为她学校里的许多毕业生都成了老师。所以美国人还记得玛丽是因为她提高了美国女性的教育水平。故选D项。
