It wasn't 5 the Industrial Revolution became an irresistible force overnight. It started in the mid-1700s in Great Britain when machinery began to replace manual labor. Fossil fuels replaced wind, water and wood, used 6 for the manufacture of textiles and the development of iron making processes. The full impact would not begin to be realized until about 100 years later in the 1800s, 7 the use of machines to replace human labor spread throughout Europe and North America. This transformation is 8 as the industrialization of the world. These processes 9 sweeping increases in production capacity and were to affect all basic human needs.

该空白处的答案不容易选对,可能不少人一不小心选择了until。it is not until...that...确实是个常见的句式,尤其是笔头英语当中,与not...until意义相同,但问题是空白处后面没有that引导的主句,所以不能选择until。英语中另外一个与时间相关的句式是it is...before...(过……时间发生……),如it will be about two years before I can finish my thesis,但空白处前面没有表示时间的词,所以句子不完整。it is not that... (but that...)也是常见的句式,相当于“不是……而是……”,所以本文第二段第一个句子的意义是“工业革命并不是在一夜之间变成不可抵制的力量”。
6.
A.minimally
B.privately
C.primarily
D.intellectually
A B C D
C
minimally:最小限度地;privately:私下地;primarily:主要地;intellectually:智力上。be used primarily.for...的含义是“主要用于……”。
7.
A.when
B.which
C.where
D.that
A B C D
A
空白处前面没有与地点相关的词,所以排除where,而that不能用于非限定性定语从句。空白处后面是个完整的句子,不可能用which。空白处前面是in the 1800s,恰好是时间,可选when。
8.
A.turned to
B.resorted to
C.clung to
D.referred to
A B C D
D
词组turn to与resort to意义接近,表示“求助于”,而cling to的意义是“紧紧地粘在”或“坚持”。be referred to as的意义是“被称作”。
9.
A.got down to
B.put up with
C.gave rise to
D.looked ahead to
A B C D
C
get down to:开始考虑或行动;put up with:忍受;give rise to:导致;look ahead to:盼望。由于主语是processes,是无生命的,应首先想到give rise to。
10.
A.habit
B.dream
C.ability
D.consequence
A B C D
C
由于空白处前面的结构相当于the society developed...,后面是不定式,ability是最佳选择,意义是“社会逐渐有能力以更快的速度生产更多的产品”。
At least since the Industrial Revolution, gender roles have been in a state of transition. As a result, cultural scripts about marriage have undergone change. One of the more obvious changes has occurred in the roles that women 11 . Women have moved into the world of work and have become adept at meeting expectations in that arena, while maintaining their family roles of nurturing and creating a (n) 12 that is a haven for all family members. 13 many women experience strain from trying to "do it all," they often enjoy the increased rewards that can result from playing multiple roles. As women's roles have changed, changing expectations about men's roles have become more 14 Many men are relinquishing their major responsibility 15 the family provider. Probably the most significant change in men's roles, however, is in the emotional 16 of family life. Men are increasingly expected to meet the emotional needs of their families, especially their wives. In fact, expectations about the emotional domain of marriage have become more significant for marriage in general. Research on 17 marriage has changed over recent decades points to the increasing importance of the emotional side of the relationships and the importance of sharing in the "emotion work" 18 to nourish marriages and other family relationships. Men and women want to experience marriages that are interdependent, 19 both partners nurture each other, attend and respond to each other, and encourage and promote each other. We are thus seeing marriages in which men's and women's roles are becoming increasingly more 20
11.
A.take
B.do
C.play
D.show
A B C D
C
play roles“扮演角色”。take roles“起……作用”,不如play roles的意思贴切。B项和D项明显不对。所以C项为正确答案。
12.
A.home
B.garden
C.arena
D.paradise
A B C D
A
此处填的词要与后面的“haven for all family members”意思相同。只有home才可称为家庭成员的避风港。B项garden“花园”;C项arena“竞技场”和D项paradise“伊甸园”都不行。

Whenever talking about my English teacher, Miss Gao, I can't help expressing my love and gratitude to her. Miss Gao was my English teacher when I was studying in college. However, she is more of a friend than a teacher to me. She would like to award us small gifts if we performed well on our presentations. As an English movie fan, she shared classical movies with us and communicated with us about her thoughts and feelings, which also sparkled our interest in English learning. We once celebrated the New Year's Eve by singing English songs and performing English comics. This will be an unforgettable memory for me. Miss Gao also has a wide range of knowledge. The books she has read range from classical fiction to natural science. She chose the most useful information and passed it on to us, which really influenced us profoundly. In addition, Miss Gao has a good mastery of English undoubtedly. Her English classes appealed to me all the time. I will persist in learning English so as to repay Miss Gao, a teacher I love most.
