First, how to enter our library. Thanks to the advanced technology, you just need to bring your student card and touch it in front of the touch point. And the door will automatically open for you. Then the opening hour of our library is open from 9 a.m. till 10 p.m. every weekday. For the weekends, it’s only open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please bear that in mind, so you won’t come in vain. Our library is also open for the local residents. And there’re differences for the students and the public. Our current students can borrow up to 12 books at a time. However, for the rest, the maximum they can borrow is 9. You need to return the books on time, or your library account will be blocked, and you can’t borrow any more books. Remember books have different due dates according to their popularity. Mostly, the books should be returned within 4 weeks. But for the popular books, you have to bring them back within only one week. The last thing I must mention here is that you’re not allowed to smoke in the library anywhere at anytime. And as to drinks, only bottled water is allowed to bring in. OK, now it’s time to show you where everything is.
第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; thus efforts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to think about what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for thinking.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with disagreements among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions (指示，命令) are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to notice the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal worries their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not disturbed too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to help in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
21. Which of the following people might take silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese. B. The French.
C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
22. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
23. What may be the best title for the text
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。不同的文化对于沉默有着不同的解读。有的认为沉默意味着深思熟虑或脑海中一片空白；有的认为沉默就是执拗；也有的把沉默当成理解他人的必备谈话技巧而倍加珍视。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to think about what has been said before continuing..” 可知中国人的文化中，认为谈话时人们沉默是在思考谈话内容。分析选项可知，选A。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not disturbed too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.”可推断出，作者建议护理人员对于病人沉默的处理要有技巧，护士要知道如何利用沉默来辅助护理不同文化的病人以达到良好的治疗效果。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。
【23题详解】
主旨大意题。全文自始至终都是围绕沉默而展开，论述其在不同文化中的含义及影响。因此答案为B。值得注意的是，D项(言语是银，沉默是金)迷惑性较大，但用它作标题，过于片面，不能概括全文。由此可判断出B项符合题意。
B
A study of 27,000 men showed those skipping (不吃) breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems. The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist (抵制) sugary snacks before lunch.
The men, aged 45-82, were studied for 16 years. During that time there were more than 1,500 heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure. However, people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal. The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors (因素) such as smoking and exercise.
Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC: “The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour. The results show that something is better than nothing, but it’s always better to have something healthy and balanced.”
She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than “having breakfast” may be straining (损伤) the body over time. This could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure and fatness which could in turn damage the heart. “Don’t skip breakfast,” Dr Cahill suggested.
Victoria Taylor, an expert with the British Heart Foundation, said: “These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people. What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less tempting, as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet. Cereals (谷类食品) with low fat milk are a good way to start the day. Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you’ll be on your way to a fine day before you’ve even left the house.”
24. What does the text mainly deal with
A. The effects of snacks on the health of the heart.
B. An interview by the BBC on people’s lifestyles.
C. What a healthy and balanced diet should contain.
D. The relationship between breakfast and a healthy heart.
25. Dr Leah Cahill’s suggestion is that we should _____.
A fix the time for each meal we eat in a day
B. make sure our breakfast is always balanced
C. eat our breakfast immediately after getting up
D. have breakfast within an hour after waking up
26. The underlined word “tempting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. attractive B. valuable
C. obvious D. familiar
27. According to Victoria Taylor, _____.
A. men over 45 are more likely to get heart diseases
B. fresh fruits like bananas are necessary for a healthy breakfast
C. it’s healthy to eat some biscuit between breakfast and lunch
D. the researchers should have covered other age groups in their study
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。一个新的研究结果表明：不吃早餐，心脏病的风险更高，本文以此展开谈论，主要讲述了一项研究的结果，不吃早餐的消极影响。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist sugary snacks before lunch.（英国心脏基金会表示，早餐有助于人们在午餐前抵制含糖零食。）文中多次提及的breakfast和heart problems可知，本文主要探讨早餐对于心脏健康的重要性。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour.（最重要的是早上醒来时吃东西，最好是在一个小时内。）可知，Dr Leah Cahill认为最好在醒来一小时之内吃早餐。故选D。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。由文章第一段的breakfast helped people resist sugary snacks以及本段tempting之前的less一词可知，吃早餐可以减少临近中午时饼干对自己的诱惑。故此处tempting有“有诱惑力的；有吸引力的”之意。A. attractive有吸引力的；B. valuable有价值的；C. obvious明显的；D. familiar熟悉的。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people可以推出，Victoria Taylor认为，为了进一步确切证实早餐对人们心脏健康的重要性，研究者在该项研究中应该对其他年龄群体展开调查。故选D。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。如第三小题，由文章第一段的breakfast helped people resist sugary snacks以及本段tempting之前的less一词可知，吃早餐可以减少临近中午时饼干对自己的诱惑。故此处tempting有“有诱惑力的；有吸引力的”之意。A. attractive有吸引力的；B. valuable有价值的；C. obvious明显的；D. familiar熟悉的。故选A。
C
There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight I think you'll say "no". But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.
The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so That is because every color stands for kind of light with a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain through sense organs.
According to this discovery scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. And if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
28. What can we know from the experiment
A. The two boxes have the same weight.
B. Colors can change the weight of an object.
C. The red paper is heavier than the white paper.
D. Colors have different weights in people's mind.
29. What can we infer from Paragraphs
A. The meal of colors is changeable.
B. People can sense the light from colors.
C. People can smell the colors through the nose.
D All the colors have the same smell for the blind.
30. Which of the following is TRUE
A. White color is heavier than red color.
B. People nay get ill if they refuse the colors they don't like.
C. People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms.
D. People's body temperature will change with different colors.
31. The passage is probably a（n）________.
A. short novel B. news report
C. science report D. advertisement
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。科学家研究发现不同的颜色在人们大脑中有各自重量。之后又分别论述了颜色有气味，以及颜色影响人类健康和情绪的观点。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第三段的 scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.可知, 科学家发现不同的颜色在我们的思想里有不同的重量。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据短文第四段的内容“That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wave length（波长）.It reaches our brain through sense organs.”可知，每种颜色都代表一种波长的光，它能通过感觉器官传播到我们的大脑，因此人们能感觉到颜色。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据短文最后一段中“For example（例如）, you like blue and hate red. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room his temperature will rise.”可知，颜色会影响人们的体温。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文章首先通过一个实验，之后得出科学家的结论：颜色在人们大脑中有各自重量。之后又分别论述了颜色有气味，以及颜色影响人类健康和情绪的观点。可见，本文是篇科学报道，所以C项符合题意。a short navel意为“短篇小说”，a news report意为“新闻报道”，an advertisement意为“广告”，均不符合题意。故选C。
D
Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women’s rights long before it became a popular issue.
Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.
At the age of 15, Susan became a school teacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.
After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the Woman’s Suffrage Movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. And then other areas and states followed Wyoming’s decision. It was not until 1920 that the US Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights.
Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness (肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar.
32. What was the situation of American women like when Susan was born
A. They had a low social position.
B. They could vote after getting married.
C They managed money for their husbands.
D. They were responsible for decision-making.
33. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Susan’s teaching experiences.
B. Susan’s educational background.
C. Susan’s efforts to get rid of slavery.
D. Susan’s fighting for women’s causes.
34. What does the underlined word “decision” in the fourth paragraph refer to
A. Promoting the social movement. B. Changing the US Constitution.
C. Giving women voting rights. D. Uniting other areas and states.
35. What may be the best title for the text
A. The First American Woman to Invent Coins B. The Problem of Women Rights in the US
C. The Most Popular Women Organizations D. A Pioneer in Fighting for Women’s Rights
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了美国历史上著名的女权运动领袖Susan Brownell Anthony努力为妇女争取了财产权，投票权等权利的事迹。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“ At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.(在那个时候，妇女几乎没有权利。她们不能拥有财产。已婚妇女挣来的钱归她丈夫所有。关于孩子的重大决定是由父亲做出的。妇女不能投票)”可知，当Susan出生时，美国妇女的社会地位很低。故选A项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第三段，尤其根据“Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women.(然后，她开始组织妇女团体，推动对妇女重要的事业发展)”可知，本段主要讲述Susan Brownell Anthony为推动妇女事业发展而进行的斗争。故选D项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. (经过Susan和其他女性多年的演讲、写作和呼吁，美国一些地区修改了法律，赋予女性投票权。第一个州是1869年的Wyoming州)”说明Wyoming州第一个赋予了女性投票权，从而推知划线词句“And then other areas and states followed Wyoming’s decision. (随后，其他地区和州也效仿了Wyoming州的decision)”中划线词汇指的是“赋予妇女投票权”。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women’s rights long before it became a popular issue. (Susan Brownell Anthony是一位走在时代前沿的女士。早在妇女权利成为一个普遍问题之前，她就为之奋斗)”可知，本文主要介绍了美国历史上著名的女权运动领袖Susan Brownell Anthony，她为妇女争取了财产权、投票权等权利。D项“妇女权利斗争的先驱”符合文章主题。故选D项。

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A month ago, I received an admission letter from Berkeley University, America, which made my whole family excited. Very soon, it was time for my leaving. On an unforgettable morning, my sister came to see me off. We arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. “Well, here we are,”my sister said with a sigh. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the sadness in her eyes. We had both been fearing this moment for the past week. After one last hug and a final goodbye, I would be on my way to a new life abroad.
I didn’t put my bag in the overhead locker;instead, I just placed it on my legs. The departure meant I could not see my dear sister for quite a long time. I was lost in thought, recalling the happy moments my sister and I had spent together. Growing up, my sister and I would do everything together. One sunny summer day I was playing outside when she came up to me and said, “Want to come to the attic(阁楼) ” We both knew that the answer to that question was always “Yes”. We were frightened of the attic but also fascinated by its smells and sounds. Whenever one of us needed something, the other one would come along.
Before I knew it, the plane took off. But while it was going up, the plane shook heavily and the bag on my legs fell onto the floor. My aspirin, hairbrush and a book I planned to read were spread out on the floor. I was about to bend down to gather them up when I saw an unfamiliar little book in the middle of my belongings. It was not until I picked it up that I realized that it was a diary.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Immediately I recognized my sister’s handwriting.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Immediately I recognized my sister’s handwriting. “Dear sister, what a day it has been today! You’ve got the admission letter to go abroad for further study and we...” Only then did I realize my sister had been keeping a diary every day during the past month. Holding the book in my hands, I could not hold back my tears any more. The old golden days we spent together came flooding back. “I’ll miss you. I’ll join you after my graduation,” I said in my heart, determined to complete my university courses in America and return home.
Paragraph 2:
I returned home two years later. Seeing her after a long time, I hugged my sister tightly, who was in pleasant surprise. “Will you leave again ” she asked softly. “Never. We’ll explore the life ahead together if you like, just as we used to do in the attic,” I said. Then for days we talked about our possible plans, feeling confident that with joint efforts we would have a bright future to look forward to.

A
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; thus efforts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to think about what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for thinking.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with disagreements among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions (指示，命令) are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to notice the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal worries their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not disturbed too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to help in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
21. Which of the following people might take silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese. B. The French.
C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
22. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
23. What may be the best title for the text
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
B
A study of 27,000 men showed those skipping (不吃) breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems. The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist (抵制) sugary snacks before lunch.
The men, aged 45-82, were studied for 16 years. During that time there were more than 1,500 heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure. However, people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal. The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors (因素) such as smoking and exercise.
Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC: “The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour. The results show that something is better than nothing, but it’s always better to have something healthy and balanced.”
She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than “having breakfast” may be straining (损伤) the body over time. This could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure and fatness which could in turn damage the heart. “Don’t skip breakfast,” Dr Cahill suggested.
Victoria Taylor, an expert with the British Heart Foundation, said: “These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people. What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less tempting, as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet. Cereals (谷类食品) with low fat milk are a good way to start the day. Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you’ll be on your way to a fine day before you’ve even left the house.”
24. What does the text mainly deal with
A. The effects of snacks on the health of the heart.
B. An interview by the BBC on people’s lifestyles.
C. What a healthy and balanced diet should contain.
D. The relationship between breakfast and a healthy heart.
25. Dr Leah Cahill’s suggestion is that we should _____.
A. fix the time for each meal we eat in a day
B. make sure our breakfast is always balanced
C. eat our breakfast immediately after getting up
D. have breakfast within an hour after waking up
26. The underlined word “tempting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A. attractive B. valuable
C. obvious D. familiar
27. According to Victoria Taylor, _____.
A. men over 45 are more likely to get heart diseases
B. fresh fruits like bananas are necessary for a healthy breakfast
C. it’s healthy to eat some biscuit between breakfast and lunch
D. the researchers should have covered other age groups in their study
C
There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight I think you'll say "no". But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.
The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so That is because every color stands for kind of light with a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain through sense organs.
According to this discovery scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. And if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
28. What can we know from the experiment
A. The two boxes have the same weight.
B Colors can change the weight of an object.
C. The red paper is heavier than the white paper.
D. Colors have different weights in people's mind.
29. What can we infer from Paragraphs
A. The meal of colors is changeable.
B. People can sense the light from colors.
C. People can smell the colors through the nose.
D. All the colors have the same smell for the blind.
30. Which of the following is TRUE
A. White color is heavier than red color.
B. People nay get ill if they refuse the colors they don't like.
C. People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms.
D. People's body temperature will change with different colors.
31. The passage is probably a（n）________.
A. short novel B. news report
C. science report D. advertisement
D
Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women’s rights long before it became a popular issue.
Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.
At the age of 15, Susan became a school teacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.
After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the Woman’s Suffrage Movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. And then other areas and states followed Wyoming’s decision. It was not until 1920 that the US Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights.
Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness (肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar.
32. What was the situation of American women like when Susan was born
A. They had a low social position.
B. They could vote after getting married.
C. They managed money for their husbands.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A month ago, I received an admission letter from Berkeley University, America, which made my whole family excited. Very soon, it was time for my leaving. On an unforgettable morning, my sister came to see me off. We arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. “Well, here we are,”my sister said with a sigh. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the sadness in her eyes. We had both been fearing this moment for the past week. After one last hug and a final goodbye, I would be on my way to a new life abroad.
I didn’t put my bag in the overhead locker;instead, I just placed it on my legs. The departure meant I could not see my dear sister for quite a long time. I was lost in thought, recalling the happy moments my sister and I had spent together. Growing up, my sister and I would do everything together. One sunny summer day I was playing outside when she came up to me and said, “Want to come to the attic(阁楼) ” We both knew that the answer to that question was always “Yes”. We were frightened of the attic but also fascinated by its smells and sounds. Whenever one of us needed something, the other one would come along.
Before I knew it, the plane took off. But while it was going up, the plane shook heavily and the bag on my legs fell onto the floor. My aspirin, hairbrush and a book I planned to read were spread out on the floor. I was about to bend down to gather them up when I saw an unfamiliar little book in the middle of my belongings. It was not until I picked it up that I realized that it was a diary.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Immediately I recognized my sister’s handwriting.

Paragraph 2:
I returned home two years later.
