Read the following passage adapted from MS Encarta 2008 and choose the correct answer (corresponding to A, B, C, or
D) to each of the questions that follow.

The work of women has been economically vital since prehistory, although their contributions have varied according
to the structure, needs, customs, and attitudes of society.
In prehistoric times, women and men participated almost equally in hunting and gathering activities to obtain food.
With the development of agricultural communities, women's work revolved more around the home. As urban centres
developed, women sold or traded goods in the marketplace.
From ancient to modern times, four generalizations can be made about women's paid work. (1) Women have worked
because of economic necessity; poor women in particular worked outside the home whether they were unmarried or
married, and especially if their husbands were unable to sustain the family solely through their own work. (2) Women's
indentured work has often been similar to their work at home. (3) Women have maintained the primary responsibility for
raising children, regardless of their paid work. (4) Women have historically been paid less than men and have been
allocated lower-status work.
Some major changes are now occurring in industrial nations, including the steadily increasing proportion of
women in the labour force; decreasing family responsibilities (due to both smaller family size and technological
innovation in the home); higher levels of education for women; and more middle and upper-income women
working for pay or for job satisfaction. Statistically, they have not yet achieved parity of pay or senior appointments in
the workplace in any nation
Artisans working in their own homes not infrequently used the labour of their families. This custom was so
prevalent during the Middle Ages, craft guilds of the period, including some that otherwise excluded women, often
admitted to membership the widows of guild members, providing they met professional requirements. Dressmaking
and lacemaking guilds were composed exclusively of women.
Gradually, the guilds were replaced by the putting-out system, whereby tools and materials were distributed to
workers by merchants; the workers then produced articles on a piecework basis in their homes.
During the 18
th
and early 19
th

Question 75: Although women cannot avoid the task of bringing up children, _
A. they have to work to feed their men B. they have to amuse their men
C. are the mainstay of their families D. they can be breadwinners as men
Question 76: The word "sweatshops" suggests ____.
A. workshop B. factory work C. hard work D. harmful work
Question 77: Under the "putting-out system", the workers ____.
A. are provided with tools to produce goods at home B. bought materials to manufacture goods
C. provide their factories with raw materials D. turn their homes into factories
Question 78: Manufacturers tended to employ women because _
A. women demanded less than men B. they did not have to pay for high insurance
C. they could cheat them more easily D. they did not have to pay high wages
Question 79: During the time of Industrial Revolution, women were dominant in ___.
A. sex industry B. Broidery C. textile industry D. bakery
Question 80: What women have done for the economic development have changed over time due to ____.

A. their role in the home B. their marital status and their husbands
C. the different factors of the society D. the Industrial Revolution

first field of research, and the one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specific point of view with
regard to the other sciences of man and defined its theme. If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about
patterns of human behaviour seen in all their dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and
cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least
more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a slower pace. Thus they are easier to see whole.
What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural
characteristics of man? Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study
of man's biological characteristics and the study of his cultural characteristics. The reasons for this split are
manifold, one being the rejection of the initial mistakes regarding correlations between race and culture. More

It may seem as if the art of music by its nature would not lend itself to the exploration and expression of

was in the rationalist 18

new realms of experience proved communicable in the first place because they were in touch with the spirit of
renovation, particularly through poetry. What Goethe meant to Beethoven and Berlioz and what German folk tales and
contemporary lyricists meant to Weber, Schumann, and Schubert are familiar to all who are acquainted with the
music of these men.
There is, of course, no way to demonstrate that Beethoven's Egmont music or, indeed, its overture alone
corresponds to Goethe's drama and thereby enlarges the hearer's consciousness of it; but it cannot be an accident
or an aberration that the greatest composers of the period employed the resources of their art for the creation of
works expressly related to such lyrical and dramatic subjects. Similarly, the love of nature stirred Beethoven, Weber,
and Berlioz, and here too the correspondence is feltj and persuades the fit listener that his own experience is being
expanded. The words of-the creators themselves record this new comprehensiveness. Beethoven referred to his activity
of mingled contemplation and composition as dichten, making a poem; and Berlioz tells in his Memoires of the
impetus given to his genius by the music of Beethoven and Weber, by the poetry of Goethe and Shakespeare, and

A. unplanned happening
B. collision or similar incident
C. unusual occurrence D. unpleasant event

A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in science in particular in single-
sex classes: during the adolescent years, pressure to conform to stereotypical female gender roles may disadvantage
girls in traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental work while taking part in
lessons. In Britain, academic league tables point to high standards achieved in girls' schools. Some educationalists
therefore suggest segregation of the sexes as a good thing, particularly in certain areas, and a number of schools
are experimenting with the idea.

Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two decades.
The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species
diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity. The high rate of
species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological
diversity in all ecosystems. As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another
of Earth’s ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most
common problem is habitat destruction. In most situations, the result is irreversible. Now humans are beginning to
destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less
