Although the women’s rights movement in the United States in thought of as a recent development,its beinnings date back over one hundred and seventy years.At that time women were dependents in the eyes of the law,and they did not have the rights of adults.A woman had no property rights,even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned.Decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband,the “head of the family”.
The first public protests against the low position of women were made in the 1830’s.In 1848 the leaders of this movement(some of whom were antislavery activities as well) assembled the first Women’s Rights Convention,demanding equality.In this struggle as well as in the long,hard fight for women’s vote,those who took part in the activities were laughed at and insulted.They were said to be immoral,and their ideas were considered dangerous to society.
Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states;and in 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution granted them the right to vote throughout the United States.By the time many women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A little number of women even held high academic and government positions.In spie of all this progress,“career women”were largely restricted(受限制)teaching,nursing,and office work.
The women’s Liberation movement,which developed during the 1960’s,has focused on economic rights such as“equal pay for equal work”.In addition some groups have stressed psychological and social equality.The main purpose of Women’s Liberation to free women from the restricted role which society has given to them.It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home—or to choose the two.it claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person were allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full.Women’s Liberation believes that the statement in the United States Declaration of Independence,“all men are created equal”realy means.“all human beings are created equal”.
68.We know from this passage that ___________over one hundred seventy years ago.
A.no women worked outside their homes.
B.women were considered as children by the law
C.women cared nothing about how their family lives were
D.women were not allowed to decide how to spend their money or how to teach children
69.The underlined word“assemble”in the second paragraph probably means____________.
A.to bring a group of people together in one place for a particular purpose
B.to make a public or official statement,especially about a plan,decision
C.to produce many copies of a book,magazine,or newspaper
D.not to take part in an event or not to buy or use something as a protest
70.Which of the following is true?
A.In the 1920s,women were limited to being teachers,nurses of office workers.
B.Women mainly paid their attention to how they were paid in the 1960s.
C.Women asked to change“all men are created equal”into“all human beings are created equal.”

The high noise of modern life may affect speech and language development in the very young,according to a study that found the auditory(听觉的)parts of the brains of young mice are slower to organize properly in the presence of continuous sounds.
Researchers at the University of California,San Francisco,reared a group of rats in an environment of continuous background noise and found that their brain circuits that receive and interpret(解释)sound did not develop at the same rate as animals that were raised in a quieter environment.
Edward F. Chang and Michael Merzenich,co-authors of the study appearing in the journal Science,said that the continuous noise delayed the organization of auditory neurons(神经细胞)during a critical two-to-three-week period after the rat pups were born.
For rats not exposed to the noise,the auditory cortex(皮层)neurons during this period gathered into a smaller area and began developing a selective response to sounds.
But for the noise-exposed rats,this organization was slowed,causing a delay in the development of the ability to discriminate(辨别)specific sound tones.The researchers said it took three or four times longer for the rats raised in a noisy environment to reach the basic bench marks(基准)of auditory development seen in the rat pups not exposed to noises.
Although the rat is not a perfect model for what happens in humans,the authors note,the study does suggest that high levels of noise might possibly affect some language learning in babies.
“These findings suggest that environmental noise,which is commonly preasent in contemporary child-rearing environments,can potentially contribute to auditory and language—related development delays,” the authors wrote in Science.
The authors noted that although the brain development was delayed in rats exposed to the noise,their brains did eventually mature(成熟的)normally.
72.The scientists at California University studied rats____________.
A.of different age groups B.with different habits
C.in different environments D.from different areas
73.The rats exposed to noise,compared to those not exposed,_________.
A.were more sensitive B.were duller
C.grew up more slowly D.gathered together more quickly
74.The result of the research mainly tells us that noise_________________.
A.delays brain development B.stops baby growth
C.affects speech and language D.destroys brains
75.The finding of the research are said to have special connections with____________.
A.causes of noises B.medical science
C.other living things D.human babies

Attention,please! I’m going to give you a summary of today’s discussion about whether we would go online in our spare time.
Most students think they(we)can go online as much as possible in our spare time because we are free then.Through the Internet,they can gain plenty of the newest knowledge and the latest news at home and abroad.What’s more,network offers them(us)a convenient way to communicate with each other.The Internet makes their lives outside class colorful and various.
On the other had,a few students partly agree to this idea.Going online is part of our daily life.They suggest a time limit.They’ve found that more students are playing computer games instead of studying their lessons. They’re few students who are often absent from school for days.Thank you.
