In 1955,bus seats for African Americans and whites were separated in parts of the U.S.. On December 1,1955,in the city of Montgomery,Alabama,a conflict,or disagreement,started when an African American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man and go to the back of the bus. The police took 42­year­old Parks to jail.

The African American community was extremely angry. They had a meeting and decided to work together to protest discrimination. They agreed to boycott the buses on the day that Parks went to court. The day was a success. Empty buses drove through the streets. The city lost money. The community decided to continue the boycott. They elected a man named Martin Luther King,Jr. to be the leader.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Which gender is the most talkative? No matter what you answer, you are partially right.

A recent Gallup Poll show that both man and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of this is challenged in research published in the November issue of “Personality and Social Psychology Review”.

In recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.

They found a small but reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.

The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men’s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.

46. This passage mainly talks about research conducted by ___________.

A. Gallup Poll

B. “Personality and social Psychology Review”

C. Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres  

D. The author

47. According to the passage,which statement is true?

A. Women are born to be good at conversation.

B. Women are more talkative than men.

C. Women are more talkative than men when they converse with their close friends.

D. Women are less talkative than men in certain cases.

48. Which of the following statements describes the main idea of the passage?

A. Women are born more talkative than men.

B. Men are born more talkative than women

C. Women and men are talkative in different cases.

D. Women are no more talkative than men.

49. The underlined word “gender” in Paragraph 1 means ________.

A. people            B. nationality     C. culture     D. sex

50. Talking with strangers, _________.

A. women are more talkative than with people they know

B. men are more talkative than with their wives

C. women prefer to listen more rather than speak more

D. men speak a lot to have their opinions accepted

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

The invention of the camera goes far into the past. In the 1500s, men were experimenting with cameras that made images. But it was not until the early 1800s that man found a way to make the pictures permanent. Even then, photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by a photographer. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the film were too difficult.

In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a kind of film that fit into a small camera. Because the new film was easy to use, many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their film, people returned their cameras to the factory. There, the film was developed, and pictures were printed. Then more film was put into the cameras, which was sent back to the owners, along with their pictures.

Eastman’s camera made it easy to take pictures. Today’s cameras are even easier to use, and people can put in their own film. Photography has become a growing hobby.

There are also many new jobs in the field of photography. One of the most important kinds of work is in news reporting. Newspapers, magazines, and television all need pictures to tell their stories. Photographers aid scientists by taking pictures through microscopes and telescopes. Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals, while astronauts take cameras into space. Man finds new uses for the cameras every day.

51. In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a new kind of _____.

A. image       B. factory       C. film      D. camera

52. Long ago, people sent their cameras to a factory because _______.

A. they wanted to have the cameras cleaned      

B. they wanted their film developed

C. they broke their cameras when taking pictures

D. they wanted to have their pictures taken by a photographer

53. On the whole, this passage is about ______.

A. the field of photography        

B. the life of George Eastman

C. how photographers aid scientists  

D. George Eastman invented the first camera

54. Why did people begin to buy their own cameras?

A. Taking and developing pictures became easier.

B. They did not like to go to photographers.

C. They wanted to see what a camera looked like.

D. They wanted to find a way to make their pictures permanent.
