However, I was encouraged by a friend to attend a meeting in North London. There were Womens Liberation groups in each area of London, _23_ in size and in their particular interests. The group I attended was started by a few of middle-class intellectual women who wanted to get the support of working-class housewives in the area. However, _24_ I turned up at the meeting I found that the other women were all the middle-class graduates, a few with several degrees. Some of the girls were very intellectual and articulate, and had even published books or appeared on TV. I have been _25_ the group for several years now and we have had some interesting discussions about the issues the Womens Liberation Movement is concerned with.人们开始大量谈论妇女解放运动。起初我并没有认真对待。我想参与解放运动的妇女只是觉得不满或是辛酸。我想她们只是憎恨男人，但是我自己并没有这种情绪。然而，一个朋友鼓励我去参加伦敦北部的一个会议。那儿聚集了伦敦每个区域的妇女解放小组，不同的规模，不同的关注点。我加入的那个小组是由几个中产阶级的知识妇女成立的，她们想要得到来自这个区域所有工人阶级的家庭主妇的支持。但是，当我出席会议时，我发现其他人都是中产阶级的大学毕业生，有人还获得了好几个学位。其中有些女孩非常的聪明伶俐而且能言善辩，甚至有些还出了书或是上过电视。到目前为止，我一连好几年都是这个小组的成员，我们会探讨一些涉及妇女解放运动的一些很有趣的问题。A. when B.

This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge 21 is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other 22 . And we cant even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted. However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, 23 is constantly being replaced by rainfall; is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidlyalmost day by day. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our 24 water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this 25 , but only on a small scale. The systems that have been worked out resemble those used in spacecraft.世界不仅仅饥饿，还很渴。你可能觉得这很奇怪，因为近 75%的地球表面都覆盖着水。但是 96%的水都是海水或咸水。人们只能饮用和使用其他 3%的来自河湖、地下与其他来源的淡水。我们甚至连这些也不能都利用，因为有的存在于冰山和冰川里。更糟糕的是，一些水还被污染了。但是，正如今天的情况一样，这些少量的淡水，在不停地由降雨循环，现在还够我们使用。但我们对水的需求在增加，几乎是每天都在增加。我们都必须学会如何不浪费宝贵的水。我们可做的第一步中，开发重复利用水的技术是一项。这一领域，已做了很多实验，但只是小规模的。开发的系统很像飞行器上的用的那种。A. field B. sources C. which D. precious E. amount 答案：EBCDAPassage 11There were no classes that afternoon, so Henry went to a clothing shop near his home.

It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, 21 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.Many of us think 22 stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us 23 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 24 more work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We should learn to 25 our limitations. We should be aware of which things are really important and which are not.很多人认同压力是现代生活的一个主要问题。很明确，担忧和争吵会导致各种疾病，从背疼到严重的头痛，甚至是更严重的病患，比如高血压。我们中有很多人认为压力是别人强加给我们的东西。我们经常抱怨别人如何给我们压力。但我们应该试图使这些压力不影响我们。我们不应忘记我们很大程度上自己在为自己制造压力。我们有时候接受了超过我们的身体和心理所能应付的工作。我们要学会接受自己的有限性。我们应该知晓什么东西真正重要，什么东西不重要。A. of B. under C. accept D. from E. on答案：DABECPassage 14Many students find the experience of attending university lectures to be a confusing and frustrating experience.
