Going Her Own Way
When she was twelve, Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life. She decided that she wanted to continue her education, Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school，though some attended private Catholic "finishing" schools. There they learned a little about music，art，needlework，and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria —or her mother. By this time，she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.
Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school，something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time，there were two types of high schools: the "classical" schools and the "technical" schools. In the classical schools，the students followed a very traditional program of studies，with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature，and Italian literature and history1. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
Maria，however，wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modem than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages，mathematics，science，and people — including Maria's father — believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore，they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school，she had to win her father' sapproval. She finally did，with her mother's help，though for many years after，there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to oppose her plans，while her mother helped her.
In 1883，at age thirteen，Maria entered the "Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti" in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modern subjects，the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding，discipline in the classroom was strict，and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.
詞彙:
discipline /'disiplin/ n. 紀律，學科，訓練，懲罰 punishment / 'p?ni?m?nt/ n. 懲罰，嚴厲對待，虐待
註釋:
1. In the classical schools，the students followed a very traditional program of studies，with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature，and Italian literature and history. 在傳統學校中，學生們都依照一種非常傳統的教學方式學習，包含拉丁語、希臘語與文學課，還有義大利文學與歷史。
2. The technical schools were more modem than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages，mathematics，science，and accounting. 技術學校比傳統學校要現代得多， 他們提供的課程有現代語言、數學、自然科學，以及會計學。
練習:
a wanted to attend________.
ate “finishing” school
ol with Latin and Greek
nical high school
ol for art and music
those days, most Italian girls________.

very traditional views about women
no opinion about women
ght women could not learn Latin

e scientific
e strict
答案與題解：
1. C 本題的問題是：Maria想去個怎樣的學校?由文中第三段可明確得出結論。“Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school .” A, B, D項均有明顯錯誤。
2. C 本題的問題是：在當時的義大利大多數女孩的選擇是什麼?由文中的第一段可知“Most girls from middle-–class families chose to stay home after primary school ,”所以本題的正確答案為C。
3. B 本題為推理題，問題是：從全文可以得出什麼樣的結論?A選項未提及。C選項錯誤，原文只說大多數女孩子都選擇呆在家裡，並未說她們都不喜歡讀書。D選項錯誤，原文只說就算是上學的話大多數女孩子都選擇傳統學校，而並非只有女孩子可以去。所以正確答案為B。
4. B 本題問的是：Maria的父親對女性的態度是什麼?由文中第三段倒數第二句“Most people—including Maria’s father —believed in the girls would never be able to understand these subjects.”可以得出答案，父親和大多數人一樣都持傳統觀念。
5. D 本題的問題是：當時的義大利高中教師是怎樣的?從文中最後一段可以得出結論“Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient,”故正確答案為D。

Pop Music in Africa
Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music. The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today, such as hip-hop, rap, rock, jazz, or reggae. The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world, but at the same time is distinctly African. It is different also in another way: Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.
Eric Wainaina is one of these African musicians. He grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, in a family of musicians. As a teenager, he listened to pop music from the United States, and later he moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. Now he has produced a CD in Kenya. Eric's most popular song, "Land of ‘A Little Something’” is about Kenya's problem of bribery, or paying others for illegal favors. He wants people to listen to his songs and think about how to make Kenya a better place to live.
Another musician who writes serious songs is Witness Mwaijaga from Tanzania. Her own experiences have helped her understand the suffering of many African women. At the age of fifteen she lost her home, but she was luckier than other homeless young people. She could make a living by writing songs and singing on the street. By the time she was eighteen years old, she had become a star. Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania, especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women1.
Baaba Maal, from Senegal, also feels that pop music must go beyond entertainment. He says that in Senegal, storytellers have always been important people. In the past, they were the ones who kept the history of their people alive. Baaba believes that songwriters now have a similar responsibility. They must write about the world around them and help people understand how it could be better. The words of his songs are important, in fact. They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans, as well as the rights of women, love for one' s family, and saving the environment2.
One of South Africa's most popular musicians is Brenda Fassie. She is sometimes compared to Madonna, the American pop star, because she likes to shock people in her shows. But she also likes to make people think. She became famous in the 1980s for her simple pop songs against apartheid. Now that apartheid has ended, her songs are about other issues in South African culture and life. To sing about these, she uses local African languages and a new pop style called kwaito.
In recent years, people outside of Africa have also begun to listen to these young musicians. Through music, the younger generation of Africans are connecting with the rest of the world and, at the same time, influencing the rest of the world.
詞彙：
reggae /'regei/ n. 瑞格舞(西印度群島的舞曲) bribery /'braib?ri/ n. 拍馬屁，賄賂
apartheid / ? 'P a:theit / n. 種族隔離
註釋：
1. Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania, especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women. 她用嘻哈和說唱的風格寫歌，歌曲的內容是 坦尚尼亞的各種問題，特別是艾滋和女性權利的缺失。
2. They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans, as well as the rights of women, love for one's family, and saving the environment. 他倡導在非洲要和平與協作，同時也包括婦女權利、熱愛家庭和保護環境。

答案與題解：
1. B 本題的問題是：非洲流行音樂的不同之處是什麼?由第一段倒數第一句可以得出答案。“It is different also in another way : Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.” A,D項錯誤，C項未提及。
2.D 本題的問題是：對於非洲以外的人來說，非洲流行音樂給他們的感覺是什麼?從第一段可以得出答案。“The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world , but at the same time is distinctly Afican.”故正確選項為D。
3. A 本題的問題是：全文所提到的音樂家的共同的特點是什麼?總覽全文可以得出結論。全文通篇在講有關社會和政治等嚴肅主題的音樂，故正確答案為A。B,C,D都有明顯的錯誤。

Why So Many Children?
In many of the developing countries in Africa and Asia , the population is growing fast . The reason for this is simple : Women in these countries have a high birth rate — from 3.0 to 7.0 children per woman . The majority of these women are poor , without the food or resources to care for their families ? The answer may be that they often have no choice . There are several reasons for this .
One reason is economic . In a traditional agricultural economy , large families are helpful .
Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age1. In an industrial economy, the situation is different. Many children , do not help a family; instead, they are an expense. Thus, industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the case in Italy, which was industrialized quite recently and rapidly. In the early part of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World WarⅡ, Italy’s economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized. By the end of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1. 3 children per woman, the world’s lowest.
However, the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate. Saudi Arabia, for example, does not have an agriculture-based economy, and it has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Nevertheless, it also has a very high birth rate(7.0). Mexico and Indonesia, on the other hand, are poor countries, with largely agricultural economies, but they have recently reduced their population growth.
Clearly, other factors are involved. The most important of these is the condition of women. A high birth rate almost always goes together with lack of education and low status for women.2 This would explain the high birth rate of Saudi Arabia. There, the traditional culture gives women little education or independence and few possibilities outside the home. On the other hand, the improved condition of women in Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia explains the decline in birth rates in these countries. Their governments have taken measures to provide more education and opportunities for women.
Another key factor in the birth rate is birth control. Women may want to limit their families but have no way to do so. In countries where governments have made birth control easily available and inexpensive, birth rates have gone down. This is the case in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, and Brazil. In these countries, women have also been provided with health care and help in planning their families.
These trends show that an effective program to reduce population growth does not have to depend on better economic conditions.3 It can be effective if it aims to help women and meet their needs. Only then, in fact, does it have any real chance of success.
詞彙：
industrialization / in’d?stri?lai’zei??n/ n. 工業
possibility /p?s?’bil?ti/ n. 可能性，可能發生的事物
effective /i’fektiv/ adj. 有效的，起作用的，實際的
註釋：
1. In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age. 傳統的農業經濟中，家庭成員數目多是十分有利的。孩子多意味著田裡的勞動力多且有人給父母養老。
2. A high birth rate almost always goes together with lack of education and low status for women. 高的生育率往往與婦女缺乏教育與社會地位低下相關。
3. These trends show that an effective program to reduce population growth does not have to depend on better economic conditions. 這些趨勢表明有效的控制人口的方案並不依賴於良好的經濟狀況。
練習：
1. In a traditional agricultural economy, a large family_______.
A. can be an advantage
B. may limit income
C. isn’t necessary
D. is expensive
2. When countries become industrialized, _______.
A. families often become larger
B. the birth rate generally goes down
C. women usually decide not have a family
D. the population generally grows rapidly
3. According to this passage, Italy today is an example of an _______.
A. agricultural country with a high birth rate
B. agricultural country with a low birth rate
C. industrialized country with a low birth rate
D. industrialized country with a high birth rate
4. Saudi Arabia is mentioned in the passage because it shows that _______.
A. the most important factor influencing birth rate is the economy
B. factors other than the economy influence birth rate
C. women who have a high income usually have few children
D. the birth rate depends on per capita income
5. In Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia, the government _______.
A. is not concerned about the status of women
B. has tried to industrialize the country rapidly
C. does not allow women to work outside the home
D. has tried to improve the condition of women
答案與題解：
1. A 本題的問題是：在傳統的農業經濟中，大的家庭的影響是什麼?從文中第二段第二句和第三句話可以得出明確的答案。“In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age.”所以答案為A，是優勢。
2. B 本題的問題是：當國家工業化後，人口和出生率的狀況是什麼?從第二段義大利的例子可以明確得出答案。“In the early part of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World War Ⅱ, Italy’s economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized.”由此可見出生率降低。
3. C 本題的問題是：本文舉出義大利的例子要說明什麼?從第二段義大利的前後對比的情況可以看出正確答案為C。
4. B 本題的問題是：文中提到沙烏地阿拉伯的例子說明了什麼?由第三段開頭可知“However, the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate.”下面將要介紹其他的因素，之後以沙烏地阿拉伯為例。故正確答案為B。經濟以外影響出生率的因素。
5. D本題的問題是：墨西哥、泰國、印度尼西亞的政府採取了怎樣的措施?從文中第四段後半部分“On the other hand, the improved condition of women in Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia explains the decline in birth rates in these countries. Their governments have taken measures to provide more education and opportunities for women.”可以得出結論。另一方面從第四段開頭也可以得出結論。“The most important of these is the condition of women.”之後舉出這幾個國家的例子，從而也可以得出結論。

An Intelligent Car(智慧汽車)
Driving needs sharp eyes, keen ears, quick brain, and coordination between hands and the brain. Many human drivers have all these and can control a fast-moving car. But how does an intelligent car control itself?
There is a virtual driver in the smart car. This virtual driver has “eyes”, “brains”, “hands” and “feet”, too. The minicameras on each side of the car are his “eyes”, which observe the road conditions ahead of it. They watch the traffic to the car’s left and right. There is also a highly automatic driving system in the car. It is the built-in computer, which is the virtual driver’s “brain”. His “brain” calculates the speeds of other moving cars near it and analyzes their positions. Basing on this information, it chooses the right path for the intelligent car, and gives instructions to the “hands” and “feet” to act accordingly. In this way, the virtual driver controls his car.
What is the virtual driver’s best advantage? He reacts quickly. The minicameras are sending images continuously to the “brain.” It completes the processing of the images within 100 milliseconds. However, the world’s best driver at least needs one second to react. Besides, when he takes action, he needs one more second.
The virtual driver is really wonderful. He can reduce the accident rate considerably on expressways. In this case, can we let him have the wheel at any time and in amy place? Experts warn that we cannot do that just yet. His ability to recognize things is still limited . He can now only drive an intelligent car on expressways.
智慧汽車
開車需要目光銳利、耳朵靈敏、反應敏捷和手腦間的協作。許多人類司機這些條件部具備，並可控制一輛急速行駛的汽車，但一輛智慧車如何進行自控?
智慧車中有一位虛擬駕駛員。這位司機同樣有“眼”，有“腦”，有“手”，有“腳”。車兩側的微攝頭就是他的眼，負責觀察車前方的路況。他們注意著車兩側的交通情況，車中也有高度自動化的駕駛系統。這就是內建的電腦，也就是虛擬司機的大腦。這個大腦計算出車近旁正在運動車輛的速度，並分析它們的位置。基於這些資訊，它為智慧車選擇昀佳路徑，並給出指示以讓手腳做出相應運動。通過這樣的方式，虛擬司機就對車輛實行了控制。
虛擬司機的昀大優點是什麼?他的反應速度很快。微攝頭不斷向“大腦”傳送影象資料。他完成影象處理的時間為100毫秒。然而，世界上昀優秀的人類司機也至少需要1秒鐘的反應時間。當他作出行動時，又多得一秒。
虛擬司機的確很棒。在高速公路上，他可大大減少事故發生率。鑑於此，我們是否可以讓他在任何時間任何地點都駕駛汽車呢?專家們警告說，我們現在還不能這樣做。智慧車辨別事物的能力還很有限。目前，這種車只能在高速公路上行駛。

閱讀理解試題的做題方法我們稱之為還原定位法，即把試題準確地在原文中進行定位，找到答案所在的.句子。這種方法的運用有三個步驟：
先看試題，後讀原文。
這樣做既節省了時間，又提高了做題的效率和準確度。
對試題在原文中的位置進行模糊定位。
因為試題的出題順序和文章的敘述順序存在高度的一致性。
對試題在原文中的位置進行準確定位。
對試題在原文中的位置進行準確定位的前提是抓住試題中的標誌詞和關鍵詞。標誌詞主要包括①專有名詞，是指表示人名、地名和組織機構等的名詞，這樣的名詞在文章中一般都要大寫;②表示時間或年代的詞;③專業詞彙，這樣的詞彙一般都是比較難懂，一般是我們不認識的詞彙。關鍵詞是指表達試題內容的中心詞，一般是試題中的名詞和名詞片語。
下面我們以2005年理工類B級中一篇閱讀理解為例，詳細解說一下這種方法在實戰考試中的運用。

Almost Human?
Scientists are racing to build the world's first thinking robot. This is not science fiction： somesay they will have made it by the year 2020. Carol Packer reports.
Machines that walk， speak and feel are no longer science et is the name of an android(機器人)which scientists have built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)。 (31)Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it Can show human eyes，ears and lips move to show when it feels happy， sad or et is one of the first of a new generation of androids——robots that look like human beings——which Can imitate human feelings. (32) Cog， another android invented by the MIT， imitates the action of a mother. However， scientists admit that So far Cog has the mental ability of a two—year—old.
(33)The optimists(樂觀主義者)say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids(機器人)with brains similar to those of all adult human being. These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public. What kind of jobs will they do? (34)In the future， robots like Robonaut， a humanoid invented by NASA， will be doing dangerous jobs， like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and mom of the household work for us In Japan， scientists are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and playing the piano.
Some people worry about what the future holds：will robots become monsters(怪物)?Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro—computers，connected to the Internet，in the le will have micro—chips in various parts of their body，which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets (小裝置)。Perhaps we should not exaggerate(誇大)the importance of technology，but one wonders whether，in years to come，we will still be falling in love，and whether we will still feel knows?
31. Kismetis different from traditional robots because
A. it thinks for itself
B. It is not like science fiction
C. it can look after two—year-old.
D. it seems to have human feelings.
解：本題的標誌詞是Kismet，關鍵片語是different from traditional robots，我們在文章第二段的第二句話中找到了試題在文章中的位置，細細讀這句話。選項D和這句話的意思是最接近的，因為第二句話中有這樣一句it Can show human emotions，選項中的feelings和文章中的emotions是同義詞替換，這是閱讀理解正確項的一個出題原則。因此是正確答案。
32. What makes Cog special?
A. It looks like a mother.
B. It behaves like a child.
C. It can imitate the behavior of a mother.
D. It has a huge brain.
解：本題的標誌詞是Cog，接著讀文章，在文中尋找關於Cog的論述。關於Cog的論述出現在31題所對應的原文的後面，只有兩句話，仔細讀完這兩句話後，我們發現選項C和原文是對應的，只是文中的單詞action被替換成了他的同義詞behavior，這是職稱英語考試中，閱讀理解選項設定的一個特點，即同義詞替換。

4 There are many types of compact format is called can be recorded on and re-recorded on (rewritten on) as you would do with a floppy her format is the technology for recording on these disks is different from other e CDs have a dye layer that the CD writer can darken or leave clear and dark spots are the digital -ROM stands for Compact Disc — Read Only
Memory.4 This disk is like a"super"floppy disk that can hold lots of CD-ROM can hold the same amount of data as 500 floppy rmation is permanently recorded onto uter games and other programs are considered to be CD-ROMs.
5 CDs were first sold to the public in e CDs still play well and sound ent CDs are expectedto last between 70 to 200 course,you can make sure your CDs last a long time by taking care of them.
6 Science keeps on may not be many more years before a completely new technology is invented5 and introduced to the public for music the meantime,there is no doubt you will continue to enjoy listening to your favorite music on CDs6 and playing your favorite computer games on CD-ROMs.

答案與題解：
1.D第一、二段介紹了 CD的工作原理。聲音以數碼的形式刻錄到CD磁片上。要想聽聲音，就得用CD放機，CD機用鐳射照射CD，接收機接收和分析從 CD反射回來的鐳射波，還原為原來的數碼，再轉換為原來的聲音。所以，D是答案。
2.A 第三段第一句“ Digital codes are used with many technologies.”是主題句。本段其他句子提供例證，即應用領域。作者列舉了 5個領域：電郵、航天通訊、條碼、手機和天氣預報。選項 A的“Digital code has wide applications”與主題句的意思完全吻合，所以是答案。
3.F 第四段第一句：“ There are many types of compact disks.”是主題句。本段其他句子列舉了兩種常用的CD格式(format)：一種是CD-RW，另一種是 CD-ROM.選項F的“CDs are of many formats”概括了本段的大意，是答案。
4.C 第五段說的是CD碟片經久耐用，1982年上市的CD碟片至今還能使用，其音質依舊。現在上市的CD，更加耐用，如果使用得當，其壽命可達70～200年。選項 C用了durable予以概括是很恰當的，所以，C是答案。
5.E 第四段中出現CD-RW這個詞，介紹了“ They can be recorded on and re-recorded on (rewritten on)。這就是選E的依據。
6.B 第六段能找到與答案有關的句子，但 It may not be many more years before a completely new technology is invented and introduced to the public for music recording.
7.C 第二段說到在CD機上還原數碼時依靠的是鐳射發射裝置和按收器。由此我們可以推論出鐳射發射器和接收器是CD機的主要部件。所以C是答案。
8.F 第三段第三句“ Space probes communicate with their ground station on earth using digital codes.”是選F的依據。
