【題目】閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四項個選項（A，B，C和D）中選出最佳選項。
C
It has been more than 50 years since Harvard Business School started admitting women, yet the institution(機構) is still trying hard to find out how to best attract and support them. Its latest effort: a program targeting women's colleges—place that are not traditional feeding grounds for the male-majority business school.
The program is called Peek. It offers juniors, seniors and recent graduates from women's colleges the opportunity to read and discuss four HBS case studies in class specially taught by top HBS members. About 50 to 70 promising students will pay $500 for their stay there.
Women make up 41 percent of Harvard Business School class of 2016---the most the school has had. In 1985, women made up only one-quarter of the graduating class. Harvard is not alone when it comes to struggling with a gender gap (性別差別). At Wharton, the class of 2016 is 40 percent women; at Standford Business School, it's 42 percent. No top business school had gotten to 50 percent yet.
Despite the Peek program's good intention, the $500 fee bothered someone, said John A. Byrne, the editor of business school new site. "The fact that HBS would charge women for the chance of coming to campus rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,” said Byrne. HBS said the $500 fee was a “fair price” for room and daily meals at the business school for a weekend, and didn't actually cover the full costs of the program.
For years, women students at Harvard Business School failed to keep pace with men. In 2010, Harvard business School got a new manager, Nitin Nohrin, who promised a turnaround. Nohrin designed a program to encourage women students and professors. He promised to change the school's case studies so that at least 20 percent of the people in the business texts would be women.
（1）What can we learn about the program Peek?
A.It is free for new students
B.It offers all kinds of business classes
C.It is helped by the best teachers
D.It is intended for high school students
（2）What is the main idea of the Paragraph 3?
A.women are not good at business management.
B.Women are less interested in business school.
C.Women students are less talented than men students.
D.Women students are becoming fewer and fewer in college.
（3）In the eyes of Byrne, Harvard's program ___________.
A.will be a total failure
B.will waste lots of money
C.doesn't have many good intention
D.will shut some students out
（4）What is the text mainly about?
A.HBS's new plan to attract more women students.
B.HBS's new manager Nitin Nohria.
C.HBS's effort to attract talented students.
D.HBS, the best business school ever world-wide.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）B
（3）D
（4）A

（1）C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第二段的The program is called Peek. It offers juniors , seniors and recent graduates from women's colleges the opportunity to read and discuss four HBS case studies in class specially taught by top HBS members.可知，這是由最好的老師提供幫助的，故選C。
（2）B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第三段最后一句No top business school had gotten to 50 percent yet 可知，在商學院女性是不被看好的，故選B。
（3）D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中倒數(shù)第二段的”The fact that HBS would charge women for the chance of coming to campus rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,”可知，哈弗的計劃將會排除一些學生，故選D。
（4）A 主旨大意題。這篇文章主要講了哈弗的一項吸引女學生的計劃，故選A。

【題目】I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with "FYI(For Your Information)". My parents are in their late 70s, and while they are quite healthy for their ages, I worry about what messages they are going to give me.

I got such an email in September from my father. He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father, my uncle Reese, had passed away. The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life, because Reese was the first of my parent’s siblings(兄弟姐妹) to die, and I was simply not ready for that.

The memorial service was set in Florida, and I quickly decided I needed to go. I needed to be there for my father, and I needed to go for myself. Reese is about nine years older than my father, and I started to do the math in my head. I know that doesn’t make sense, but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I will be in my cousin’s shoes.

Reese’s memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends. The funeral was attended by an even smaller number, and then, the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese’s possessions when he died.

As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport, I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want, not only in their memorial services, but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest. These are going to be difficult conversations, but I know I need to have them. Maybe not right now, but we do need to open the discussion at some point. It may feel too early, but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions, we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes.

【1】Why do emails with “FYI” make the author uneasy?

A. She’s too busy to read those emails.

B. She dislikes her parents’ nonstop talking.

C. She’s afraid to get bad news about her parents.

D. They often bring unpleasant news.

【2】How did the author feel about the email from her cousin?

A. Disappointed. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Annoyed.

【3】What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs?

A. Not many people attended the funeral.

B. A get-together was held at home.

C. Reese’s friends didn’t appear.

D. The author hesitated to go to Florida.

【4】What does the author decide to do after the funeral?

A. Have a talk with her parents about death.

B. Express her love for her parents bravely.

C. Value her parents’ wishes.

D. Get everything ready for her parents.
