Hospital nursing became 43 work for women only after Florence Nightingale became 44 .Because she was a wealthy and educated woman, as well as a 45 ,people began to believe it was 46 for women to care for the 47 and still be “ladies”.Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school 48 nurses in 1860.

阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It’s Never Too Late For Success
Politics offers a familiar example of contrast.Herbert Hoover must have learned administration in the cradle.When he was at school he drafted as football manager, though he didn’t know the game, and the glee club manager, though he couldn’t sing a note.Whatever he touched went smoothly, glee club or food for a starving Europe.
But one of his successors in the White House had about as checkered a youth as can imagined.Turned down by West Point because of poor vision, Harry Truman tried a dozen jobs, including stretches in a drugstore, a bank, a bottling works, and a railroad yard.But he got there just the same.Great writers are supposed to be born, not made, but here again there are many fascinating exceptions.William Faulkner quit school in the fifth grade and rattled around the country as a house painter and a dishwasher.Once he tried attending college, but failed in freshman English and quit.He wangled a postmaster’s job in a small Mississippi town and infuriated the populace by getting the mail all mixed up and closing the office whenever he felt like it.Faulkner was 25 before he started the writing career that won him a Nobel Prize.
And just to show that girls can be as confusing as boys, take Pearl Buck, who from early youth made it a point to write at least a few lines every day of her life.Then take Edna Ferber, whose sole ambition was to be an actress: she never even thought of writing anything until she was in her 20’s and had to take a 3-2-week job on a newspaper to help her family.
56. Truman didn’t work in________.
A.a drugstore B.a bank
C.a railroad yard D.a department store
57.Faulkner didn’t begin writing until he was________.
A.25 B.52 C.32 D.38
58.________used to be the glee club manager.
A.Harry Truman B.William Faulkner C.Pearl Buck D.Herbert Hoover
59.________isn’t a great writer.
A.William Faulkner B.Harry Truman
C.Edna Ferber D.Pearl Buck
60.William Faulkner quit college because he failed________.
A.chemistry B.Physics
C.English D.Math

“Hello,” a woman’s voice said.There was no backing out now.

You cannot see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes.Some of the things you see give off light of their own.The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light.Such things are luminous.Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own.They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous body.The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own.It is non-luminous.You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction.So moonlight is only second-hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light that falls on it, and you see the book.If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all.Light reaches us from the moon, which is about
380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
69.You can see the book because________.
A.your eyes are close to it
B.it reflects some of the sunlight
C.it has light of its own
D.your eyesight can get to it
70.The underlined word “luminous” means________.
A.visible B.all colours C.giving off light D.sunlight
71.________have light of their own.
A.The sun and the moon B.The stars and the earth
C.The sun and the stars D.The moon and the earth
72.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.All the things you can see give off light.
B.Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C.The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
D.Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.

What is intelligence, anyway? When I was in the army I received an I.Q.(intelligence) test that all soldiers took, and I scored 160 against an average of 100.
All my life I’ve been making scores like that, so that I have the feeling that I’m highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so, too.Yet, such scores mean actually that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions devised by the people who make up the I.Q.tests—a professor like myself.
Once I had an auto-repair man.I always took it for granted that I was far more intelligent than he was.I thought he could not have scored more than 80 on such I.Q.tests.Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hastened to him, and he always fixed my car.Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man devised questions for an I.Q.test.Or suppose a carpenter did, or a farmer, or almost anyone but an academician.By every one of those tests, I’d prove myself an idiot.In a world where I could not use my academic training and my verbal talents but had to do something working with my hands, I would do poorly.
My auto-repair man had a habit of telling me jokes.One time he asked me， “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails.He put two fingers together on the counter and made hammering motions with the other hand.The clerk brought him a hammer.He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering.The clerk brought him nails.He picked out the sizes he wanted, and left.Well, doc, the next guy who came in was a blind man.He wanted scissors.How do you suppose he asked for them?”
Naturally, I lifted my right hand and made scissoring motions with my first two fingers.
Whereupon my auto-repair man laughed loudly and said, “Why, you dumb fool, he used his voice and asked for them.” Then he said,“I’ve been trying that on all my customers today.”“Did you catch many?”I asked.“Quite a few,”he said,“but I knew for sure I’d catch you.”“Why is that?”I asked.
“Because you’re so goddamned educated, doc, I knew you couldn’t be very smart.”And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.
73.The speaker scored 160 on an I.Q.test simply because he was________.
A.considered highly intelligent
B.much smarter than others
C.trained for answering such questions
D.educated to be a medical doctor
74.After joking with the speaker, the auto-repair man remarked that________.
A.he was unwilling to tease his customers
B.education always makes one smarter
C.he was very ashamed of playing a practical joke
D.a highly educated person might lose common sense
75.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.One can be fooled once but not all the time.
B.Success is 1% intelligence and 99% diligence.
C.Intelligence cannot always be measured by an I.Q.test.
D.An I.Q.test should include questions on auto repair.
