二、答案：1-4BCBD

解析：1.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中的Mostyoungwomenwerenotabletocontinuetheir

education.Iftheydid,theyoftenwerenottaughtmuchexcepttheFrenchlanguage,

howtosewclothing,andmusic.可知,大多數(shù)年輕女性無法繼續(xù)接受教育,即使她們能接

受教育，除了法語、如何縫制衣服和音樂之外,她們通常不會學(xué)到多少東西.所以19世紀美國

女性的教育問題是她們能選擇的學(xué)習(xí)科目很少.故選B項.

2.推理判斷題,根據(jù)第二段中的MaryLyonfeltthatwomen，seducationwasextremely

important.以及MaryopenedaschoolforyoungwomeninthevillageofBuckland.

可知,瑪麗?菜昂認為女性的教育極其重要.她在巴克蘭為年輕女性開辦了一所學(xué)校.所以我

3.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中的Thisschoolwouldownitsownproperty,guidedbyan

independentgroupofdirectors...Itwouldnotdependonanyonepersontocontinue.

可知,這所學(xué)校將擁有自己的財產(chǎn)，由一個獨立的董事會指導(dǎo).它的資金將由董事們負責(zé),不

依靠任何人.所以瑪麗?萊昂開辦的學(xué)校在資金上是獨立的.故B選項正確.

4.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段Mary'seffortsledtothespreadofhighereducationfor

womenintheUnitedStates.Herinfluencelastedasthemanystudentsfromherschools

wentouttoteachothers.可知.瑪麗的努力使美國婦女接受高等教育這件事得到了普及.

她的影響一直持續(xù)至今,因為她學(xué)校里的許多畢業(yè)生都成了老師.所以美國人還記得瑪麗是

因為她提高了美國女性的教育水平.故選D項.

三?答案：1-10.successfully;tallest;an;where;referring;by;It;devoted;was

named;curiosity

解析：①修飾動詞用副詞。故填successfully。

②句意為:這個矮個子的中國人現(xiàn)在似乎是世界上最高的人。根據(jù)句意可知此處應(yīng)用形容詞

最高級，故填tallesto

③句意為：馬云曾經(jīng)是一位英語老師，過著輕松的生活。leadaneasylife意為“過著一種

輕松的生活”，easy的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭,故答案為an。

④此處ahotel是先行詞，hecouldcommunicatewithforeignvisitorsin

English是非限制性定語從句,關(guān)系詞在定語從句中作地點狀語,所以應(yīng)用關(guān)系副詞。故填

whereo

⑤句意為:這段經(jīng)歷使他成為一個出色的英語演講家，經(jīng)常在不參考筆記的情況下發(fā)表英語

演講。without是介詞，后面用動名詞作賓語。故填refeirring。

@bychance為固定搭配，意為“碰巧；偶然"。故填by。

⑦句意為:就是在他回到家后，馬云建立了一個網(wǎng)站,在杭州創(chuàng)建了自己的公司一一阿里巴

巴。此處________was...that是強調(diào)句式，故填I(lǐng)t。

⑧bedevotedto為固定搭配，意為“致力于...”。故填devoted。

⑨設(shè)空處是謂語動詞,與主語是被動關(guān)系,根據(jù)行文可知此處描述發(fā)生在過去的動作,所以應(yīng)

用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)。故填wasnamed。

⑩設(shè)空處在his后與determination并列作主語,應(yīng)用名詞表示“好奇心”。故填

curiosityo
