二、Cloze Test(10 points,1 point for each)
1. Getting plenty of exercise is very important. I enjoy 11 very much. Last
Summer, I went to the beach every day. I plan to go there this summer too, 12 I may not be able to. I have a new job. Sometimes I have to work until 13 at night. Though I now work more hours than I used to, I do receive a larger salary. I didn’t receive much pay on my old job.

I have heared that riding a bike is good exercise. Maybe I will be able to 16 enough money to buy a bike.

三、Reading Comprehension(30 points,2 points for each)
1. Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion(抛弃), but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent(不同意), in all transactions(交易) the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona(巴塞罗那). Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation(补偿). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法律学家)to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hottempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.
(1). A decimum was____ .
(A). the wife’s inheritance from her father

答案：C
(3). What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?
(A). Some of the land Miro had inherited.
(B). A tenth of Miro’s land.
(C). Money for household expenses.
(D). Money from Miro’s inheritance.
答案：A
(4). Could a husband sell his wife’s inheritance?
(A). No, under no circumstances.
(B). Yes, whenever he wished to.
(C). Yes, if she agreed.
(D). Yes, if his fatherinlaw agreed.
答案：C
(5). Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?
