A new survey from has found that 49% of working mothers feel their employer actively discriminates against them. It also found that nearly two thirds of women return from maternity leave to a new job.
The survey, which questioned 2,300 mothers about their careers after children, found that 62% of them had moved to a new role within their existing company or in another organization. The survey also revealed that flexible working was seen as the most important factor in career progression for working mothers, with more than 20% leaving a company when a flexible working request was turned down.
Of those who had had their flexible working requests declined, only 13% had appealed the decision. More than half of them felt that the reasons given by their employer were unjustified. The reported showed that of all the types of flexible working, the most valued and requested was that of working from home. This backs up findings from that when women changed jobs after having children location played a big factor. Moving employers to avoid a long commute or be closer to home, thereby making childcare arrangements easers to manage, played a big part in women deciding whether to return full-time to their original employer.
Gillian Nissim, founder of , says that the results show how important it is for businesses to think creatively about flexible working requests, rather than dismissing them.
“Some have argued that it is too expensive for businesses to move to more flexible working patterns,” she says. “But the survey demonstrates the costs of not doing so in terms of the loss of skilled staff.”
Despite the government extending the right to flexible working to all employees in 2014, less than half the mothers surveyed had partners who worked part-time or flexibly. In what can be seen as an attempt to find more flexible working options, 64% of those who responded to the survey were thinking about setting up their own businesses and 65% were looking at retraining.
58. Which of the following is NOT the reason why women want to work flexibly?
A. Having enough time to tend children.
B. Working less for the sake of children.
C. Being able to work closer to homes.
D. Spending less time to and from work.
59. Gillian Nissim’s suggests to the employers that they ________.
A. agree to the requests the working mothers make
B. think about the cost of hiring some skilled staff
C. dismiss whoever requests flexible working patterns
D. take the flexible working requests into account
60. What can be inferred from this passage?
A. More than half of the women move to a new job after having children.
B. The government has ensured working mothers the right to work flexibly.
C. Working mothers consider flexible working vital in career progression.
D. Most mothers would rather start their own businesses than get retrained.

It's not just homework that has some young people dreading going back to school. As students file into their classes this month, there's a whole new world of worry for young people: yoga pants. And shorts. And off-the-shoulders tops, midriff-bearing shirts, and skirts that don't pass the " fingertip test".
The list of banned clothing items in high schools seems to get longer every year- and the more restrictive dress codes get, the angrier students grow. This year, hundreds of young women at high school across the United States are protesting the dress codes nearly as quickly as they are announced.
More than 200 students at Regional Technical high school in Cape Cod, which has banned yoga pants and leggings, have signed up for a Facebook event encouraging people as they are announced.
At Chicago's McHenry East and West high school, students have planned a :Show Your Shoulders" protest in response to a dress code that won't allow students to bare their shoulders.
In Ohio students gathered in opposition to Lakewood high school's dress code after one girl was disciplined for not wearing a bra.
Restrictive dress code policies are being criticized online as well as on school grounds. In Woodford Country, Kentucky, parents Stacie Dunn was shocked to find out that her daughter Stephanie Hughes was called to the principal's office on the first day of school because she revealed…her collarbones. Dunn took to Facebook to complain, writing:" Parents are being called away from their important jobs and students are missing class time." Her post was shared more than 45,000 times.
But it's not just the dress over 200 Staten Island students--almost all female--were given detention over dress codes, Florida students were forced to wear "shame suits" when violating the dress code, and earlier this year, schools nationwide came under fire for turning away young women from parties whose outfits were considered "inappropriate".
The scourge of unfair dress codes is so great that MTV has published a primer for students on how to tell if their school's dress code is exist. One of the clues? If administrators say women bodies are " distracting" to learning.
The idea of dress codes to prevent distraction are fairly everywhere: the yoga pants ban in Cape Cod was chalked up to not wanting to distract male students, and the same reason was used in Staten Island and most other schools with dress codes that disproportionately target female students. (How " distracted" female students et from their learning experience by being shamed and pulled out of class doesn't seem to be a concern).
"I understood the rule exists," she said," but I believe it's sexist and unnecessary. I told them that if any middle-aged male teacher couldn't concentrate on teaching because of my clothing, he's the problem-- not me."
As students fight back in high schools around the country, even younger women-- and their parents--may have a battle in front of them as well. Dress codes are starting to affect students as early as first and second grade.
61. Students are scared of returning to school because_____.
A. they are burdened with heavy work
B. they find it hard to pass the tough test
C. many schools have issued stricter dress codes
D. stricter dress codes affect their attention in class
62. According to the article, which of the following is true?
A. Students in McHenry East high school have rights to bare shoulders
B. Students on Facebook are encouraged to wear the banned pants on the first day
C. Not the dress but the severe punishment for violators causes controversy
D. Criticism for students going to extremes on students ' dress codes is nationwide
63. According to the school , ______
A. dress code policies aim to prevent female students from being sexy
B. the way some female students get dressed distracts males' attention
C. it matters little to female students if they get suspended from school
D. girl students can wear whatever they like in spite of the dress codes
64. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8?
A. Schools were criticized for their improper punishment.
B. Schools made the headlines for their strict violation.
C. Schools were underestimated for dress codes violation.
D. Schools were praised for turning away young women.
D
A new research study combining marine physiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and behavioral psychology has revealed a surprising outcome from increases of carbon dioxide uptake in the oceans: anxious fish.
A growing base of scientific evidence has shown that the absorption of human-produced carbon dioxide into the world's oceans is causing surface waters to decline in pH, causing a rise in acidity (酸度). This ocean acidification is known to disrupt the growth of shells and skeletons (骨骼)of certain marine animals but other consequences such as behavioral impacts have been lately unknown until recently.
In a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B (Biological Sciences), scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and MacEwan University in Edmonton, Canada, have shown for the first time that rising acidity levels increase anxiety in young rockfish (岩鱼），an important commercial species in California. Using a camera-based tracking software system, the researchers compared a control group of rockfish kept in normal seawater to another group in waters with raised acidity levels matching those projected for the end of the century. They measured each or0uP s preference to swim in light or dark areas of a testing tank, which is a known test for anxiety in fish. The researchers found out that normal juvenile rockfish continuously moved between the light and dark areas of the tank. However, experiments have shown that fish administered with an anxiety-inducing drug prefer the darker area and seldom risked swimming into the light. Hence (Thus), _________________________.
Next, the researchers found that rockfish exposed to acidified ocean conditions for one week also preferred the dark area of the tank, indicating they were significantly more anxious than their normal seawater counterparts. Rockfish exposed to acidified ocean conditions remained anxious even one week after being placed in seawater with normal carbon dioxide levels. Only after the fourteenth day in normal seawater did the anxious fish behave like the control group and returned to normal behavior.
The researchers say the anxiety is traced to the fish’s sensory(感官的）systems, and specifically “GABAA” (neural gamma-aminobutyric acid type A) receptors, which are also involved in human anxiety levels. Exposure to acidified water leads to changes in the concentrations of ions (离子）in the blood (especially chloride and bicarbonate), which reverses the flux of ions through the GABAA receptors. The end result is a change in neuronal (神经元）activity that is reflected in the altered behavioral responses described in this study.
“These results are novel and thought-provoking,,5 said Martin Tresguerres, a Scripps marine
biologist and study co-author, “because they reveal a potential negative effect of ocean acidification on fish behavior that can possibly affect normal population dynamics and maybe even affect fisherie s.”
Tresguerres says anxious behavior is a concern for young rockfish because they live in highly dynamic environments such as kelp (巨藻）forests and drifting kelp paddies that offer variable lighting and shading conditions.
“If the behavior that we observed in the lab applies to the wild during ocean acidification conditions, it could mean that young rockfish may spend more time in the shaded areas instead of exploring around,” said Tresguerres. “This would have negative effects due to reduced time t o search for food, or among others.”
Tresguerres noted that laboratory tests cannot fully model the steady progression of acidity levels that will be seen in the wild over years and decades. “Nonetheless, our results suggest that ocean acidification ma y affect an important aspect of fish behavior.”
65. According to the 3rd paragraph, the researchers drew the conclusion by ________.
A. analyzing data
B. giving examples
C. measuring acidity
D. making comparisons
66. Which of the following would best fill the blank at the end of paragraph 3.
A. normal seawater rather than acidified water benefits rockfish.
B. dark preference represents increased anxiety in young rockfish.
C. young rockfish in the experiment are easy to control.
D. young rockfish choose to swim in light or dark areas.
67. In the experiment, rockfish exposed to acidified ocean conditions ________.
A. chose the dark area rather than the light area of the tank all the time
B. were free of anxiety one week after being put in normal seawater
C. returned to normal after a fortnight in normal carbon dioxide level seawater
D. behaved just like the control group once they were put into normal seawater
68. What is the function of the fifth paragraph?
A. To explain how acidified water causes anxiety in fish.
B. To discuss whether the researchers, results are believable.
C. To give an introduction to the process of the experiment.
D. To raise doubts about the researchers, conclusion.
69. What are “dynamic environments” of young rockfish like according to paragraph 6?
A. Drifting kelp paddies are everywhere.
B. Varieties of fish exist in complexity.
C. Lighting and shading shift frequently.
D. There are a wide calm sea of kelp forests.
70. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Certain Methods Of Protecting The Ocean Environment.
B. Certain Methods To Slow Down Ocean Acidification.
C. Young Rockfish Found Suffering From Anxiety In California.
D. Increasing Ocean Acidification Results In Anxiety In Fish.
第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
We know a good piece of writing when we read it. But what makes the writing “good” and how can we teach all our kids the skills that seem to come naturally to a few.
?Writing is carefully and artfully communicating ideas and knowledge. Don’t tap on the desk asking “Is that all you have written? Look at Emma - she has written two pages”. This simply tells kids that.
If your kids haven’t written much, they are either thinking, or you have set them a task with no purpose or plan, or they have literacy struggles which won’t be solved by being told to get on with it.
?Grammar isn’t the thing you correct at the end of the writing process. Grammar is what you teach during the writing process. Our kids need teachers not copy editors.
You can name parts of speech. You can describe the grammatical function of parts of speech. This is more useful knowledge because at least you know why you might want to use them in your writing. The third level of grammatical knowledge is the most useful - intention. This means choosing your words and organizing your sentences with your story’s purpose and audience in mind.
?It’s hard to choose your words with intention when your writing has no purpose. Don’t tell kids to “write a story”. Have a reason for writing, and an audience who will read it.
It’s also hard to write about things you don’t know anything about. Last year, my son did the national standardized NAPLAN test. The writing task was to write about a hero, and he wrote about me. I was flattered until he explained I wasn’t his first choice—he didn’t have enough information about other potential heroes stored inside his head to write a convincing persuasive piece.
?To write w ith purpose and intention you need a plan. But kids won’t write drafts ---as much as you might like them to. Authors write drafts --- because they are professionals with ambition and time on their hands.
Let kids plan in other ways --- act out their story, draw their story, and tell their story to other people. Each time they “tell” their story in these ways they will refine it. When the listener is confused about where the dragon suddenly appeared from, they will think through the explanation. When they act out the plot, they will be inspired to refine it. When they draw their story they will be promoted to add more relevant detail.
?The very best way to write well is to look at good models of writing. Teach kids how language works by looking at it doing its work in its natural habitat---exemplary writing.
If you want your children to write well --- read great books to them, and give them great books to read.
“you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see. You have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too — even when you're in the dark and even when you're falling."

书面表达：Possible version:
An exercise requires mutual trust, with one standing facing away and then falling backwards and the other catching him. Most feel uncomfortable with an exception of a girl, who tries and makes it, amazing all present.
Similar incidents frequently happen exposing people’s lacking in trust with others. Days ago, a granny lost her footing and fell. Luckily, a girl immediately took her to hospital. But, when her relatives rushed there, they chose not to thank but to blame her for the fall and demanded compensation until a video proved her innocence. As they stated, if it were not your fault, why did you rush for he lp? We can not deny that some people take advantage of others’ kindness.
Nobody dares say he no longer needs help throughout his life. However, when turning to others, how can he get help if not fully trusting them? Therefore, mutual trust is extremely important and only with it can we solve problems and benefit our society.
