听力原文: It was in 1951, during my first week at North Carolina College, a black school, the English chairman's wife, who was as light as a white woman, stopped me one day in the ball.
When I went to her office, she said, "You had the highest grade on the examination." She was talking about the exam that the entire freshman class took. In spite of her smile, her eyes and tone of voice said, "How could this blackskinned girl score higher on the test than the other students? It must be a mistake.' At North Carolina College, color was used in deciding status. The faculty assumed that lightskinned students were more intelligent, and they were always a bit surprised when a darkskinned student did well, especially if she was a girl.
When the grades for the first quarter come out, I had the highest average in the freshmen class. The chairman's wife called me into her office again, pulled out a copy of the freshman English final exam, and asked me to retake it. I couldn't believe it. It was so incredible to her that I had the highest score in the class that she was trying to test me again. I felt angry, so intense that I wanted to start hitting her. I have seldom hated anyone so deeply. I handed the exam paper back to her and walked out.

B.She felt satisfied.

At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short time after she had begun teaching, she established a school for young girls in her grandparents' home. Stress was placed on moral character at Dorothea's school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.
She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents' home, however, when she became ill. A few years of inactivity followed.
In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, Massachusetts, jail. Here, she first came upon insane people locked up together with criminals.
In those days insane people were treated even worse than criminals. There were only a few asylums(精神病院)in the entire country. Therefore jails, poorhouses, and houses of correction were used to confine the insane.
Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was considered, unfeminine (不适合女性的)for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix in her efforts to provide proper medical care for the insane.
Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than thirty mental institutions were founded or re-established in the United Stated because of her efforts. Dorothea also extended her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.
During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent(管理人)of women hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The Treatment of Mental Illness
B.The Life of a Young English Woman

It is very difficult to evaluate another person's performance objectively. For example, Senta recently wrote irresponsible remarks about her instructor because she was falling to pass the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same instructor because he received an "A" in the course. Both Senta and Sam were not fairly evaluating the instructor. They were affected by the grades they were earning and were biased in their judgments.
Another irresponsible form. of evaluation occurred when James rated his instructor excellent because the instructor is "easy". He gives few tests and only assigns one paper during the entire term. His lectures are often full of jokes and endless stories. On the other hand, James rated Professor Jones poor because he assigns text work daily, gives pretest and posttest reviews, and packs his lectures with a lot of information.
Student should evaluate their instructors ______.
A.by discussing opinions with classmates
B.by rating the instructor's interest in students' problem
C.by discussing opinions with instructors
D.by rating instructor's humorous remarks

Why do many female athletes fall victim to knee injuries?
Rebecca L0bo,a basketball star,grabbed a rebound during the first seconds of game in June 1999.______ (1).A pain shot from her knee and drove Lobo t0 the floor.Tests revealed that Lobo had torn her anterior cruciate (十字的,交叉的)ligament(韧带),0r ACL,resulting in the end of her play for the season.______(2)
Lobo,perhaps the most recognized player in the United States,is one of a growing number of female athletes suffering ACL injuries.Experts say that female athletes in middle school,hi曲school,college and professional sports may be eight times as likely as male athletes to experience ACL injury.
_______(3).Why are so maw female athletes falling victim to ACL injuries?
Spots physicians say one reason is the growing number of females involved in high—impact spots,such as soccer and basketball.Jeff Bauer,a biochemist,however,thinks bone size plays a key role.He examined the knee joints of skeletons of 200 humans who had died at an early age.
Studies of the skeletons of 100 males and 100 females showed in measurement after measurement that the bones making up a female’s knee are smaller than those 0f a male of the same size.Smaller bone surfaces may lead to an increase in stress placed 0n the ACL during sharp movements.such as turning,jumping,or stopping.
Bauer thinks the size difference may be the primary reason that females injure their knees more often than males do with the same amount of training and experience.“Now,that’s not bad,”add Bauer,“and it’s not good.It’s just different.”
Following the knee injury,Lobo underwent surgery._____(4).After the surgery,the patient needs months of physical therapy to strengthen the knee muscles and ligaments.Eight months after having knee surgery.the patient still needs t0 exercise her knee every day.
_____(5).They also recommend that players do stretching exercises before a game or a practice to help keep the knees flexible and more able t0 withstand stress during play.
A.When she landed.she tried to stand firm but couldn’t.
B.One of the more common techniques used t0 repair a torn ACL involves replacing the entire ligament.
C.Sports injury experts say knee exercises may help protect knees from ACL injury.
D.Practice before and after a game is a good way to avoid injuries to knees
E.Thousands of female athletes have suffered a fate similar to Rebecca’s.
F.The ACL is a short band of tissue that keeps the knee stable during movement.
