She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is, ” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a. . . ? ” “Of course I have a job, ” said Emily. “I’m a mother. ” “We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation. . . ‘housewife’ covers it, ” said the recorder. One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation? ” she asked. The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations. ” The clerk paused, her ballpoint pen frozen in mid-air. I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. “Might I ask, ” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field? ” Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree? ), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money. ” There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants—ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern． I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother”. Motherhood. . . What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door. 1. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation? A. Curious.         B. Indifferent.         C. Puzzled.        D. Interested. 2. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk? A. Calm.         B. Panic-stricken.         C. Confident.         D. Cool. 3. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author? A. Because the author cared little about rewards. B. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab. C. Because she thought the author did admirable work. D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of. 4. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it. B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect. C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily. D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work. Ⅴ. 任务型读写 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 Biofuels Biofuels have been around as long as cars have. At the start of the 20th century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol(乙醇). But discoveries of huge petroleum deposits(储量)kept gasoline and diesel(柴油)cheap for decades, and biofuels were largely forgotten. However, with the recent rise in oil prices, along with growing concern about global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, biofuels have been regaining popularity. Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels. But they are known as fossil fuels because they are made from plants and animals that have been buried in the ground for millions of years. Biofuels are similar, except that they’re made from plants grown today. Much of the gasoline in the United States is blended with a biofuel—ethanol. Countries around the world are using various kinds of biofuels. For decades, Brazil has turned sugarcane into ethanol, and some cars there can run on pure ethanol rather than as additive to fossil fuels. On the face of it, biofuels look like a great solution. Since plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow, crops grown for biofuels should suck up about as much carbon dioxide as coming out of the tailpipes of cars that burn these fuels. And unlike underground oil reserves, biofuels are a renewable resource since we can always grow more crops to turn into fuel. Unfortunately, it’s not so simple. The process of growing the crops, making fertilizers and pesticides, and processing the plants into fuel consumes a lot of energy. Also, because much of the energy used in production comes from coal and natural gas, biofuels don’t replace as much oil as they use. Topic Green energy: biofuels The history of biofuels ●Ethanol could be used as fuel a (1) _______ago. ●People (2)______ biofuels for a long time because of enough and cheap gasoline and diesel. ●Biofuels are becoming popular because of (3)_____ oil prices and environmental concern.
