四、阅读理解（本题有25小题，每小题2分，共50分） A
①
In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous
3
. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers.Young men ,or ―stewards”helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the ―stewardess”. ②
Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license. ③
Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed. ④
The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.
At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early ―stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour.
⑤In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, ―stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.
31. The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.A.the word ―stewardess”was made up by Ellen Church B. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane
4
C. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a plane D. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane
32. From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.
A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girls B.Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her education C. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital
D. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely
33. The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.
A. her flying experience B. her university education C. her nursing experience D. her life attitudes
34. According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.
A. be a nurse B. be married C. be a mother D. be young
35. The passage mainly talks about _______. A. the background of early flying pilots B. the experience of flying passengers
C. the history of early flight attendants D. the development of airplanes
B
The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects. Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when they rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundreds of them occupy(占据) a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.
Flying foxes have babies once a year , giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby falls down to the ground and squeaks(尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop(俯冲) down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often ten hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.
36. The passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in ______________. A. their size. B. their appearance.
