USA's participation in World WarⅡbrought major changes to the lives of American women. Before the war,there had been a huge pool of female labour,consisting largely of young,single women. Many jobs were closed to them and they were effectively restrictetl to working in domestic service and selling-goods business. Wartime production requirements, however,combined with the loss of the men who entered the military,provided women with the opportunity to move into a far wider range of jobs.

The response to the US govemment's request for more women workers was amazing and the

changes marvelous.ln 1941,there were 14.6 million women workers; by 1944 the number had grown to over 19.4 million. At one point during those wars,more than 50 percent of American women worked and by 1945 half of all women workers were over 35 years old.

Women were particularly active in the defense industries. Between 1940 and 1944 women

working in enterprises that produced goods increased by 141 percent. In Detroit in 1943 ,\~'omen

made up 91 percent of the new hirings in 185 war plants. Over 10 percent of all shipbuilders were women. Most of these jobs came with a "pink-slip" attached,as women understood that they would be dismissed when the men returned from the war. Women were also frustrated by unfair pay differentials,for men were paid more money for doing the same job. With the end of the war and armymen being sent home,women were released twice as fast as men. In 1945, three-quarters of the women in aircraft and shipbuilding were let go,and women in the car industry decreased from 25 percent t0 7 percent. Although women found their work satisfying and liberating,postwar publicity focused on women's duty to help the returning soldiers fit in with society by "making him the man of the home again". When the war ended,many women left work to take up the duties of homemaking and raising children.

21. Before World War II,women in the USA had jobs mostly related to .

A. aircraft production

B. shipbuilding

C. sales business

D. defense industries

22. When women were offered jobs in industries,they knew that their jobs would be _

A. temporary

B. permanent

C. frustrating

D. highly paid

23. When the war ended,media made women believe that .

A. their work was satisfying

B. their work was worthwhile

C. they should help the army

D. they should take care of the family

The Great Plague(瘟疫) of London in 1665 was the last in a long senies of plague that first began in London in June 1499.1t killed between 75,000 and 100,000. First suspected in

late 1664,it began to spread eastwards in April 1665 from the poor suburb of St. Giles to the crowded and dirty communities on its way to the walled City of London.

The Great Plague at Its Peak

By September 1665 ,the death rate had reached 8,000 per week. Helpless city authorities

began to abandon quarantine(隔离) measures. Houses containing the dead and dying were no longer locked. London's mournful silence was broken by the noise of carts carrying the dead for burial in churches or public plague pits.

Well-off residents soon fled to the countryside,leaving the poor behind in poor old commun/ties.Thousands of dogs and cats were killed to remove a feared source of contagion (传染) ,and piles of rotting garbage were burned. Doctors cut swellings and bled black spots in attempts to cure plague victims.

Plague Orders prohibited churches from keeping dead bodies in their buildings during public assemblies or services,and camers of the dead had to identify themselves and could not mix with the public. '

Samuel Pepys: Eyewitness Accounts

In his famous diary,Samuel Pepys,a member of Parliament,conveyed the sad image of desperate people wandering the streets in search of relief from the ruins of the plague. His notes during 1665 indicated the severity of London's Great Plague. In July,he mourned " the sad news of the death of so manv in the community,forty last night,the bell always going either for deaths or burials. " A month lat.er,when London's death rate rose sharply, Pepys noted that surviors "are forced to carry the dead to be buried by daylight,the nights not enough to do it The Plague Declines and the Government Reacts

By February 1666,the Great Plague had nearly run its course.lt died out during the Great Fire that same year and never returned. Central parts of London were rebuilt with wider streets to relieve crowding and better waste water svstems to improve public cleanliness. New Plague Orders were issued in May 1666,which banned the burial of future plague victims in churches and small churchyards, enforced the use of quicklime (生石灰) at chosen burial sites, and strictly prohibited opening graves less than one year after burial as a safeguard against the spread of infection.

24.1n the course o_f the Great PJague,it was a common practice to .

A. keep dead bodies in the church buildings

B. burn piles of rotting garbage in the streets

C. carry the dead for church burials in the daytime

D. unlock the houses containing the dead and dying

25.lt can be inferred from the passage that _ .

A. dogs and cats were certain to spread the piague

B. doctors' treatment of plague victims was effective

C. city authorities allowed rich residents to go to the countryside

D. quarantine measures were powerless in preventing the plague

26. How did Samuel Pepys feel when the bell was going all the night during the Great Plague?

A. Frightened.

B. Relieved.

C. Sorrowful.

D. Moody.

27. What's the main purpose of this writing?

A. To blame poor public cleanliness for plague.

B. To inform readers of what happened in the Great Plague.

C. To show that plague was closely related to church activities.

D. To prove that plague could be controlled by humans.

Famous writer Edgar Allan Poe wrote 70 poems and 66 short stories during his life,but published only one novel. That book, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon, Pym of Nantucket,is fiction,focusing on Pym's bad luck on a whaling ship.

The novel,published in 1838 ,involves an attempted rebellion of the whaling ship. Pym and

two others drive back the rebels,killing or throwing overboard all but one. The spared rebel, named Richard Parker,is kept aboard in order to help operate the ship. But as the ship overturns,it has no adequate food. Parker suggests that cannibalism(食人) is the only way

out,and they draw straws to determine the victim. Parker loses and becomes dinner.

But in 1846 a real-life Richard Parker died in a shipwreck(船难) . He and 20 0thers were

on board the doomed Francis Spaight, which sank, killing all on board. It was a mere coincidence,as it involved neither rebellion nor cannibahsm.

In 1884,the coincidence became extremely horrible. A boat named the Mignonette sank, and four people went into a lifeboat. And just like in Pym's tale,the four found themselves lacking food and were desperate. They did not draw straws;however,two of the remaining three simply killed the youngest,a cabin boy who had fallen unconscious. All three then dined on the now-dead 17 year old. The cabin boy's name,of course,was Richard Parker.

As for rebellion,one needs to travel back t0 1797 ,before Poe penned his novel - although

there is little evidence that Poe had known about this Richard Parker or intentionally chose his name for the Pym novel. That year,another man named Richard Parker led a rebellion of the British Naval base at Nore,taking over a number of ships. But as food was running out,Parker ordered "his" fleet to head toward France. The ship he was on foUowed this order but none of the other ships did,and Parker was arrested then was hanged as punishment.

This series of coincidences has not gone entirely unnoticed. In 2001,author Yann Martel published The Life of Pi,which was made into a movie for release in November of 2012.lt teLls the story of a man who finds himself trapped on a lifeboat with a few animals,including a Bengal tiger. Martel showed respect for the shipwrecked men spoken about above by naming the tiger Richard Parker. And while there is probably nothing to this strange occurrence,if vour name is Richard Parker,you may want to stay away from boats.

28. The underlined part " draw straws" ( Para.2) suggests someone will be chosen to

A. deal with straws

B. enjoy a good opportunity

C. make a clever decision

D. do something unpleasant

29. What made the coincidence in 1884 extremely temble?

A. Cannibalism without drawing straws.

B. Shipwreck and rebellion.
