Passage One
(1)Criminology has treated women\’s role in crime with a large measure of indifference. The intellectual tradition from which criminology derives its conception of these sexes maintains esteem for men\’s autonomy, intelligence and force of character while disdaining women for their weaknesses of compliance and passivity. Women who conform as pure, obedient daughters, wives and mothers benefit men and society. Those women who don\’t, that is are non-conforming, may simply be one who questions established beliefs or practices, or one who engages in activities associated with men, or one who commits a crime. These women are doubly damned and doubly deviant. They are seen as \\
1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?(D)
A. The tradition thinks that men are self-controlled and clever.
B. Women who do not conform will be punished or commit a crime.
C. Defining of the norm is in reference to men’s activities.
D. Women criminals are treated with indifference before the law.
解析：本题考查段落中心思想。原文第1段重点揭露了法律漠视犯罪女性这一现象并说明追溯其根源的必要性。显然第l句是该段的主题句，所以选项D是正确答案。
2.What can we learn about the Elizabeth Fry Campaign in the early nineteenth century?(C)
A. The intervention made women become individual member of their society.
B. The intervention from the campaign made women responsible for their actions.
C. It aroused great interest about the relationships between women and crime.
D. It was a movement for women to be imprisoned with men during that time.
解析：根据题干中的Elizabeth Fry Campaign查到第2段，第2段第3句说明该运动引起了对女性与犯罪之间的关系的关注，所以选项C是正确答案。
3.The word \\(A)
A. restoration
B. freedom
C. boldness
D. responsibility
解析：rehabilitation的意思是“(罪犯的)改过迁善；修复；复职；复兴；恢复名誉”，四个选项中restoration与它的意思最接近，所以选项A是正确答案。
4.The women used to be expected in the male-dominated society as all the following EXCEPT(C)
A. homemakers
B. submissive daughters
C. women of character
D. devoted mothers
解析：根据题于中的used to be expected和male-dominated查到第2段第1句话，这里的homemaker， career和nurturer说明传统女性不可能是women of character，所以选项C是正确答案。
5.What might be the best title for this passage?(B)
A. Women and Men Criminals
B. The Cause of Female Criminality
C. The Sex Prejudice Against Women
D. The Social Status of Women
解析：文章开头两段讨论法律漠视女性罪犯现象的必要性，后面几段说明女性犯罪的原因，在四个选项中，只有B做题目最合适，所以是正确答案。

At last fatigue conquered restlessness, and he rolled himself up in a piece of tarpaulin on the deck near Maggie\’s feet.
(2)She had fallen asleep before nine, and had been sleeping for six hours before the faintest hint of a midsummer daybreak was discernible.
