processions followed; more than 250,000 women protested in Hyde Par in 1908. Many were arrested and ill-treated; prisoners who went on hunger strie were brutally force-fed. Over time they became steadily more militant – smashing shop windows, setting fire to letter boes, libraries and even homes. The PM, Herbert Asquith, an opponent of women’s votes, was attaced with a dog whip. Such use of violence was thought, certainly at the time, to have been unfavorable.
With the sacrifices of the First World War strengthening support for widening the right to vote generally, women suspended campaigning. More than a million women were newly employed outside the home --in munitions (军需品) factories, engineering wors. Crucially, Asquith was replaced as PM by David Lloyd George, a supporter of votes for women. The Representation of the People Act 1918 was introduced by the coalition government and passed by a majority of 385 to 55, gaining the Royal Assent on 6 February 1918. Women over 30, who were householders or married to one, or university graduates, were given the vote.

Section C
Directions Read the following passage. Fill in each blan with a proper sentence given in the bo. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. If we see a line moving faster, we might switch without having enough etra information. B. About one in five people grew impatient at the bac of the queue and switched to the other line in the hope of speeding things up. C. Do you hold your nerve and stay put, switch to another line in the hope it moves faster, or give up altogether? D. Based on his study, Buell says people should thin hard about switching queues when they are the last in a line. E. In an unpublished woring paper on the research, Buell notes that people tend to feel unhappiest at the bac of a queue for the first 10 seconds or so. F. Although the number of people behind you has nothing to do with how long you are going to wait, it shapes your behavior. No one enjoys the moment. You are stuc at the bac of a queue and as those in other lines move ahead and get served, the time to decide arrives. ____67____
This question has now been solved by researchers at Harvard Business School. According to what they have found in a new study, they suggest people thin twice before switching queues.
The research was led by Ryan Buell, an epert in service management. He looed into consumer queuing behavior after woring with economists on what is nown as “last-place aversion,” the discomfort people feel when they now they earn less than others or consider themselves at the bottom of the social pile for some other reason. As a result of this aversion to being the last, when a person finds himself at the end of a queue, he can mae decisions that he will later regret.
Buell began by observing people at a multi-checout grocery store and then set up an online survey. People who too part in the survey were told it would tae about five minutes. In reality, it too only one minute, but when participants logged in for the survey, they were forced to wait in a virtual queue displayed on the screen. They started at the bac and could wait, switch to a second queue or choose to leave.
____68____ On average, however, those who switched waited 10 percent longer than if they had stayed put. Those who switched twice ended up waiting 67 percent longer than if they had never moved.
“When we join a queue, we tend to mae the most rational choice we can, which means joining the shortest queue. ____69____ Unfortunately, we can often get it wrong,” said Buell.
____70____ After that, the aversion fades. The researcher suggests people have a chat with the person in front so that they can pass the time more comfortably until someone else joins behind them. “Remember that the person in front of you was the last until you arrived, so someone will show up if you hang around long enough,” Buell said.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions Read the following passage. Summarie the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no
more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
As technology grows, many university instructors are finding ways to guide online learning platforms into their classrooms. Programs such as Blacboard, WebCT and Moodle allow teachers to post reading assignments, PowerPoint presentations, lecture notes and quies for students to complete outside of class. While posting lessons online can be friendly to students' communication styles and easily accessible, they also cause disadvantages.
One disadvantage is that it may encourage students to depend on technology in the classroom. Instead of physical tetboos, many now bring cellphones to access materials during class discussions. While electronic devices can be valuable learning tools, they also can lead to distractions from learning, such as social networing and online games. It is etremely difficult for students being eposed to multiple electronic tass to focus or remember ey information.
A second disadvantage is that online lessons open up potential for cheating. Many instructors require students to complete quies, post within discussion groups or submit major assignments online. As a result, there are some students having someone else complete their assignments. A contributing factor is that online assignments are best suitable for those self-motivated, self-directed students. Students who struggle with organiation and completing assignments may find it easy to cheat online.
In spite of these disadvantages, educators can tae steps to mae sure students use online lessons responsibly. If instructors are uncomfortable with electronic devices in the classroom, they can require students to print out assignments and readings to reference during sessions. To prevent cheating, teachers can use online assignments as a supplement to traditional in-class wor, or create open-ended assignments rather than using assignments lie multiple-choice quies that have only one right answer. Being familiar with what the platform loos lie from a student perspective also can help instructors avoid potential pitfalls.
