第I卷(选择题)
一、阅读理解
On the eve of our daughters' weddings, I gave both of them what I considered to be excellent marital advice: never leave your husband unsupervised (无人监督的) with pruning shears (修枝剪).
If only I had taken my own advice. I recently let my guard down. Thirty﹣some years of marriage can do that to a woman. Give a man pruning shears and electric trimmers (电动修剪器) and he will give new meaning to "armed and dangerous."
One day earlier this year, my husband said that the crab apple tree was dead.
"Why do you think it is dead?" I asked.
"Look at it. There's not a leaf on it."
"There's not a leaf on anything. It's March," I said
"It looked sick last fall and with this bitter winter we had, I'm convinced it's dead."
The truth is he's never liked the crabapple. Sure, it has beautiful blooms in the spring, but then it gets a disease, the leaves curl, and it drops those little apples that sit on the driveway.
Each passing week he pronounced the tree dead. Eventually I began to believe him. Though he agreed it would be a regrettable loss, there was a twinkle in his eye. He armed himself a couple of weeks ago and began trimming. A branch here, a branch there, a small limb, then a large limb. I watched and then decided to check the wood on some of the branches closer to the trunk. I broke one off and saw green.
The crabapple was not dead. It just hadn't had time to leaf out. The tree was now falling to one side, but it was not dead. I would have told him so, but he had moved on to a maple. Once the man starts, he can't stop. One trim leads to another.
"Please, stop!" I called.
He smiled and nodded, but he couldn't hear because he had started the hedge (树篱) trimmers and was getting ready to fix a line of hedges.
Zip (飕飕声), zip, zip.
"What do you think?" he shouted.
"It's supposed to be a privacy hedge; now all that will be private are our ankles."
He started the trimmers again.
"Stop!" I called, "Come back!"
"Why?" he shouted.
"You're in the neighbor's yard."

They say the average person makes 35, 000 decisions a day. Yet in her new book, How Woman Decide, Therese Huston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fail to notice. "There's a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision﹣makers," explains Therese, a psychologist from Seattle University. Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf: At one end, there were bestselling boot how to be a clever decision﹣maker ﹣ all written by men and featuring interviews with men like athletes. At the other end were books aimed at women on gaining leadership skills and confidence.
"Once those women are at the table, will their decisions be taken as seriously as men's?" Therese wondered. "Men are respected as decision﹣makers more than women, especially in the workplace, largely because there's this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work. "
So, Therese set out to pick apart the stereotypes(固有印象)to see what scientific research had found. "Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision﹣maally. The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years﹣teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage
