　　四级仔细阅读冲刺练习题原文

　　It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10thand 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (彩礼).Admittedly, the purposeof this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in realityits function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry wasthe wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband wouldmake, and more than just a right; thedocuments show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In nocase do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband andwife.

　　The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite wasnot always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance againsthusbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. Acase in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she hadinherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered,she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法学家) to have a contract duly drawn upassigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband wasobliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry orthrough being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family,a powerful economic position.ric illnesses including depression often do not manifestthemselves until the late teens or early 20s.

　　四级仔细阅读冲刺练习题答案

　　1.[C] 词义推断题。第1段第2句指出了 decimum的作用，即与“彩礼”相当，作为保护妇女的工具。第4句以 “The decimum was...”的句式指出其定义，综合这两句，可断定选项C正确。

　　2.[B] 推理判断题。文章第1句就表明妇女当时的地位很高，第1段最后两句表明妇女与其丈夫的地位并无不同，是平等的，因此可以推断本题答案应为B。

　　3.[A] 推理判断题。本题考查例子与观点的关系。该例子是为了证明其前面，即第2段开头两句的观点,选项A是对这两句话的总结。

　　4.[A]推理判断题。本题考査从例子的推断。根据Maria Vivas的例子可确定答案，而且从第2段第4句中的Having agreed with her husband可推断售卖妻子继承的财产必须先征得妻子的同意，因此选项A正确。

　　5.[D] 事实细节题。可用排除法找出答案。第1段倒数第2句可证明选项A正确，第2段首句可证明选项B正确，第2段末句可表明选项C正确，只有选项D太绝对。
