20、e city of Harbin and the surrounding Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning Provinces on 20 October 2013. Unseasonably warm temperatures with very little wind across northeastern China coincided with the smoke from local farmers burning straws and the start-up of Harbins coal-powered central heating syst

The smog reduced after October 23, 2013 and completely broke up on October 28, 2013 by the first local snow and icy rain due to a cold front moving in from Russia.Harbin lies in the north of China where winter temp
23、eratures can drop to -40, demanding a six-month heating season. Daily particulate levels of more than 40 times the World Health Organization recommended maximum level were reported in parts of Harbin. The smog remained till 23 October, when almost all monitoring stations in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and
24、Liaoning Provincesreported readings above 200 g/mforPM2.5.

30、ilys coal-fired heating.CSex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意识形态) that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are t
31、he weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties. A womans place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such
32、 as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”.The ideology also holds that women who wish to work o
33、utside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, house-hold helpers, clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an ext
34、ension of womens domestic role. Informal distinctions between “womens work” and “mens work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significa
35、nt way. For 四校三联英语试题 第 6 页 共 12 页the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearances. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychologica
36、l differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned. But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature
37、 intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.( ) 29. According to the biology-is-destiny ideology, women_.A. cannot compete with men in any field B. are suited more to domestic jobs than menC. are sensitive enough to be

Those who have prejudices against women think that_.A. women shouldnt go out for workB. women should earn money to add the family incomeC. women going out for work should only do “womens work”D. women should take jobs to dril
