A
Before World War II, the labor force in the United States consisted almost entirely of men. Those women who did have jobs were, as a rule, single and usually worked in schools, business or small factories, particularly in the clothing industry. Married women who did work generally owned their own business, such as a dress shop or a restaurant. They also could help their husbands in their business.
Since World War II, the entrance of both married and single women into the working world has continued to increase greatly. Today not only are there more single women available for the labor market, but there are also large numbers of married women, many of whom have children.
41. We know from the passage that women who had jobs before World War II were usually .

Although computers used to be large, expensive and difficult to use, they have been made smaller, cheaper and easier to use. As a result, more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses. They are used to record information and make difficult things easy.
Let's look at some of the many ways computers may affect（影响）your life.
Don't want to take a lot of money with you when you get around? Thanks to computers, you can just use your credit card（信用卡）wherever you go. Computers at the bank keep a record of how much money you have and how much you pay.
Want to get the best treatment（治疗）at hospitals? Your doctors at hospitals have been greatly helped by computers to get information about patients. It is possible for doctors from different hospitals to read the records of patients, discuss them and make decisions on the best treatment. It would, at one time, take them hours or days to do so.
Want to talk to your friends both at home and abroad? Then it's necessary to connect your computer to the Internet（因特网）and set up your own E-mail letter box. You can then collect and send mails in seconds. It will be a waste of time and money to post your letters.
Want to get advice from Michael Jordan（迈克尔·乔丹）on how to play basketball like an NBA superstar? Now it is possible to find out what it is on the Internet.
But it you think you've entered the information age because you have the chance to use the Internet, you are wrong, The reason is quite a simple one: over 98 percent of the information on the Internet is in English. The information on-line won't be helpful to you unless you can use English freely.
46.Computers used to__________.
A. work rapidly B. be large and expensive
C. be easy to use D. be used for fun

B. both you and your friends have computers
C. both you and your friends know English
D. your computer and your friends' computers are connected to the Internet and have E-mail boxes

C
Many Chinese people who have been to the United States think that Americans pay a little part of their money for food each day. Yet, in the latest 13 years, food prices have gone up 30% for most American families. Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. But who is really responsible（有责任的）？
Many people say the farmers who produce the vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs are responsible. But farmers explain that the rise in food prices is very small compared to the rise in their cost of living. Farmers think middlemen（中间人） have got much more money than they do. Middlemen are those people who stand between the farmers and the people who buy and eat the food. For example truck drivers, owners of food stores and so on. Are middlemen really responsible for higher food prices?
Economists（经济学家）don't think so. They have found that the money that meat packers（包装商）and food stores get is less than 1% in all. They say that food costs more now because modern housewives have jobs outside the home. They have less time for cooking after a day's work. They prefer to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches the market. They want to buy many kinds of food that can be put on their dining tables easily and quickly. But of course they must be prepared to pay for the services（服务）of those who make their work easier.
It seems that the answer to the question of rising prices is not a simple one. Quite a number of people share the responsibility for the sharp rise in food costs.
51. Farmers speak for themselves because____________.
A. the middlemen have had the biggest share of profit（利润）
B. the cost of their products have risen sharply too
C. their cost of living has gone up a lot, too
D. they've got very little in the rise of food prices
52. Economists blame(认为……负有责任) ____________.
A. farmers B. middlemen C. housewives D. storeowners
53. What's the writer's opinion?
A. He agrees with the economists.
B. He doesn't think farmers are responsible.
C. He thinks the middlemen might get a lot of profit.
D. He thinks all those people should be responsible.
54. The food prices have gone up sharply. This sentence means they have gone up ______________.
A. quickly and strongly B. suddenly and greatly
C. clearly and distinctly D. angrily and severely
55. Which of the following is a middleman?
A. A farmer B. A shopkeeper C. A housewife D. An economist
D

A: How about America?
B: It started making paper since 1690.
Q: How many European countries did they talk about?
2. A: Why is this book printed in black and white?
B: We don’t know you wanted the book printed in color.

Q: Where does the conversation take place?
5. A: Will all of you go to the exhibition of paper-making?
B: Nobody except me now, though my father did plan to go.
Q: Who will go to the exhibition?
II. When we think of paper, we think of newspapers, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of the paper that is made is used for books and newspaper. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. You can wear paper shoes, paper hats, paper dresses and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you throw them away and buy new ones.
The latest in the paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people to live in. You can buy a house with three rooms for about 500 dollars. You can put it up yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about five years. People have made paper boats, but they have not yet made paper planes or cars. Just wait-- they probably will in the future.
Questions:
6. What is the passage mainly about?
7. How much paper is used for books and newspapers?
8. Which of the following was made of paper long time ago?
9. What is the latest in the paper?
