At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes.It was danced in the bars and streets.At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn't want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable. In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris.Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞) to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.The popularity(流行)of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world.Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War brought the tango to North America.It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.72The origin of the tango is associated with_Abelly dancers BAmerican soldiersCa Spanish city Dthe capital of Argentina73Which of the following is true about the tango?AIt was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.BPeople of the upper classes loved the tango most.CIt was often danced by two males in the beginning.DA dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.74Before World War ，the tango spread to_AAmerica BJapanCFrance DSouth Korea75What can be the best title for the text?AHow to Dance the TangoBThe History of the TangoCHow to Promote the TangoDThe Modern Tango Boom【要点综述】 你知道探戈舞的历史吗？它是如何诞生的？又如何传播到世界各地？且看本文一一道来。72D细节理解题。根据题干中“the origin of the tango”定位到第一段的内容，可知探戈起源于阿根廷首都，故选D。73C推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词“tango”定位到文章第二段第三句“At that time, there were many fewer women than men, so if a man didn't want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.”，因此可知C项正确。74C细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“Before World War”定位到最后一段。探戈传到美国是第一次世界大战结束后，传到日本是1926年，传到韩国更晚。由此可知，答案A、B、D均不对。而从文章第三段可知，探戈传到法国应该是在第一次世界大战之前。故选C。75B主旨大意题。根据题干中的关键词“best title”定位到文章的内容。由文章内容可知，文章首段讲述了探戈的诞生，接着讲述了探戈的传播，也就是说，全文讲述的是探戈的历史。故选B。C42012·四川卷 Here is your best chance to travel around the UK in 2012: More that 200 B&Bs(bed & breakfast) across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are selected to offer you amazing services for your stay at their lowest prices!

But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestionIt is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“My dear husband，” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman？”Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. “But it is, it is，” she replied excitedly. Mr DullHusband made no reply.“Don't you want to know her plans？” she cried with some impatience.“Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little headso I'd better listen.”“Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how_a_woman_can_know_anything_about_that_is_beyond_me. She will move in herself next month.” “What is her name？” “Bingley.”“Is she married or single？”“What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.” “How so? How can it possibly affect them？”“My dear love: those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going.”“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”“Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a firstrate degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”“Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.” “Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same.”And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSElisted company. It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davosand might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.67Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AAusten was born 200 years ago.BAusten rewrote Pride and Prejudice.CAusten's success lies in her wisdom.DAusten's updated work gains popularity.68The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet _Ahad mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyBfelt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyCwas extremely anxious to meet BingleyDhad a great curiosity about Bingley69In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to _A. get married to B. work for herC. help her move in D. take over her store70What does the writer intend to tell us?AWomen with brains can also be as successful as men.BWomen have to pay a high price for success.CA judgment must be made free from prejudice.DSex discrimination still exists nowadays.【要点综述】 文章选自改编版名著傲慢与偏见章节，独辟蹊径，夹叙夹议，通过讲述Mrs Bennet对Bingley从事商业活动的态度及她本人的经历，深刻揭示了性别歧视依然存在这一社会现实。文章将古典文学的欣赏性与现实的批判性有机地结合起来。67C细节理解题。根据文章开头“Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence.” 可知。intelligence“智力”相当于wisdom。68A句意理解题。画线句子意为：我完全不懂得一个女人是怎样懂得做生意的。结合上文她告诉丈夫时说的话及说话的语气可知，Mrs Bennet对Bingley既崇敬又惊讶。69B细节理解题。从原文句子“those lazy boys need something to wake them up.” 及“She surely needs one of our boys！” 可知答案。70D推理判断题。 根据原文最后一段，作者说十年后的今天，Mrs Bennet 虽然已是一名老员工了，但她的工资及福利均比不上男同事，说明现在社会仍然存在性别歧视。专心-专注-专业
