But now, not only are feminist critics and historians rediscovering the heroines of the past, we have also enough real heroines around today to believe our own new dreams of power.Although Madonna’s star might be getting less bright in Britain and America, let us not underestimate her influence. Many young women used to think that being a strong, feminist, demanding woman meant that they might have to give up their claims to be sexual, funny and individualist. But here is someone who is completely in control of her life, her art, her performance. When she grabs her crotch on stage or sells a book o f pin-up pictures of herself, we can see her recreating images that have been used before only to exploit women , and using them to show women that their sexuality is something to be proud of .No wonder of Madonna’s fans are not men but young women. They are responding to this new, real possibility that they can play with fire and may not get burnt. They identify with the fat that Madonna controls all aspects of her art, rather than being the innocent victim.Another female icon whose power has swept through women’s imaginations is Margaret Thatcher. It is all ve ry well for her to say that she does not think she woes the women’s movement anything. What is important for women, whether or not they sympathizes with her methods, politics or rhetoric, is that here was a woman who stood with the men at the G7 summits or in the British Cabinet as a leader among leaders.She is not an icon that is easy to cope with. Just as with Madonna, she goes against the grain of the most traditional images of female power. But by breaking through the male cordons of the British establ ishment she has made sure that never again can a woman’s ability to run a democratic country be questioned just because she is a woman.31.It can be seen from the passage that Madonna’s influence is _________.A.more and more increasingB. still great in societyC. becoming less and lessD. disappearingas time goes by32.Most of Madonna’s fans are young women because _________.A.she controls all aspects of her life and artB. she sells a book of pin-up pictures of herselfC. she grabs her crotch on stageD. she uses her pictures to show that she is sexy33.It is indicated in the passage that Margaret Thatcher __________.A.became successful because she was the only stateswoman among statesmen.B.Thinks male British leaders should have done more to help womenC.Think s her success has nothing to do with the women’s movementD.Has donated a large sum of money to the women’s movement34.The example of Margaret Thatcher shows that __________.A.everyone should support the women’s movement B women should learn to work togetherwith menC one’s ability should not be judged by sexD women should not seek to be sexual only35.The main idea of the passage is __________.A.women have gathered strength from the women’s movementB. women have achieved anew-found powerC women should ta ke careers to realize their powerD women’s role should be in the home2In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these my sterious forces”really” are. “Electricity”, Bertrand Russell says, “ is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved to such an ideA.Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has the ground because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.36. The aim of the controlled experiment is ___________.A. to explain why things happenB. to explain how things happenC. to form the basis of scientific investigation.D. to prove accepted theories37. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?A. Thales’ speculations.B. Self-evident principles.C. Aristotle’s natural science.D. Russell’s theory on electricity.38. Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is __________.A. disapproved of by most modern scientistsB. in agreement with Aristotle’s theory ofself-evident principlesC. disagreed by Galileo’s theoryD. supported by scientific investigation directed toward“how”things happen39. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea that _________.A. man can’t discover what forces “really” areB. there are mysterious forces in the universeC. there are self-evident principlesD. we can discover why things behave as they do40. According to Aristotle, that objects fall to the ground __________.A. is a result of reasoningB. could be explained from self-evident principlesC. is an instance of self-evident principleD. could be tested by experience3When John Milton, writer of“Paradise Lost”, entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his seco nd language at St. Paul’s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word -for -word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.。
