1.【题文】A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? Arecent research shows that most people would choose the latter.

This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believethese

characteristics have social and psychological roots among young femalesin China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finishtough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre waterto her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.

According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women havebecome rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent saidthey are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like womenwith tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the oppositeview.

Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychologicalconsultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to thistrend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shensays. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu

Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believestough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship withtheir fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says.

Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologistat the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of toughwoman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead torelationship problems. “Some women with

characteristics that differ from thetraditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says.“Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause familyconflicts.

20.【题文】It is amazing what humans can learn from nature. The Biosphere（生物圈）2 project was

1 as a research tool for scientists to study Earth’s living systems, and it allowed scientists to play with 2 in a way that didn’t harm the planet. One of the most important 3 made by the scientists had nothing to do with a 4 for some new disease or a 5 way of farming land. 6 , the discovery had to do with the 7 role in a tree’s life.
