分析这篇对话是两人在爬山之始的一段对话，Susie因为头一天晚上没有休息好，加上胃疼想中途休息，Larry劝她要坚持住，并告诫她这是一日游活动，要么坚持到底争取爬到山顶，要么放弃回去，最后Susie决定坚持爬山而不放弃．

解答 51-55 FGABD
51：F．根据上一句Can we have a break？以及I know，but I'm really tired，and my stomach hurts．可知，对方想休息，但是Larry不同意，说刚开始工作才20分钟，这项符合语境；故选F．
52：G．既然上一句提到了好友Susie疲倦和胃疼，Larry自然会问怎么了，故选G．
53：A．跟据前一句I told you that you wouldn't be able to climb the mountain unless you got enough sleep!．可知，Larry告诉过Susie在没有充足睡眠的情况下是不能爬山的，此处Susie回应说道理她懂，但是还是忍不住想爬，故选A．
54：B．空格前说Which one do I choose？此处是自我询问，所以接下来I don't want to give up，but I'm so tired，表达了自己想爬山的愿望，但事实是太累了符合语境．故选B．
55：D．最后Susie说自己不会放弃的，所以前面有个思考的过程，所以选择Let me think about it符合句意；．故选D．

点评对话填空题的特点是内容简短、信息量较大，我们一定要认真分析上下两句及相关的内容，根据谈论的话题来选择适应语境的相关句子，尤其是一些日常用语在这样的对话中经常出现，如表达祝愿的、感叹的以及遗憾的等等．本对话中谈论的是关于爬山过程中能否坚持到底的这一话题，可结合句子的语境综合分析上下文来进行选择．

练习册系列答案

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people kept asking me stories about what it’s like to work in a field under the control of men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the existence of the universe, the shape of space time and the nature of black holes.

At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the problem started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed from the angle of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures.

Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would finally become my reply to any and all provocations(挑衅): I don’t talk about that any more. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender problems. Why should removing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.

Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t take no notice of those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the scene of their physics professor heavily pregnant (怀孕）doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.

1.Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?

A. She feels unhappy working in the scientific field.

B. She finds space research more important.

C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind.

D. She is tired of the sexism in scientific field.

2.From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would think the author’s failures were due to __.

A. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist

B. her involvement in gender politics

C. the very fact that she is a woman

D. the burden she bears in a male-leading society

3.Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?

A. Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.

B. Her students’ performance has brought back her confidence.

C. More female students are going in for science than before.

D. Her female students can do just as well as male students.

4.What does the image(形象) that the author presents to her students suggest?

A. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.

B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.

C. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.

D. Women now have fewer problems going in for a science career.

Single-sex schools are better than mixed schools

Message 1 — posted by Jane, Amsterdam

I think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to learn, because it's natural. In higher education and their working life, they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world.

Message 2 — posted by Hans, Germany

My reaction to this is very clear. For me, single-sex schools are much better, and the statistics show that they get better exam results, particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing.

Message 3 — posted by Bill, USA

Boys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo, you don't put the lions in with the zebras!

Message 4 — posted by Martin, London

My view on this is that it doesn't really matter. What is important is the curriculum (课程), and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃学) to deal with, and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!

Message 5 — posted by Emily, Sydney

I don't think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools, which often means that students don't make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.

1.What is Jane's attitude towards single-sex schools?

A. Favorable. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.

2.Both Hans and Bill hold that _____.

A. teachers should meet students' different needs

B. boys and girls should be taught separately

C. schools should focus on students' exam results

D. mixed schools are better than single-sex schools

3.Martin stresses the importance of _____.

A. exciting students' interest in courses B. students' time awareness

C. training students to obey rules D. school management

4.Emily uses “dog eat dog” to show _____.

A. her support for single-sex schools

B. students' determined effort to succeed

C. the fierce competition in single-sex schools

D. the better education results in single-sex schools
