10．When Women Were"Ladies"
As late as 1800，women's only place was in the home．The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable．No"nice"woman would d（66）reamof entering what was strictly a"man's world"．Even if she could，what would she do？Men were positive that no women could deal with a job outside her home．This was such a w（67）idelyaccepted idea that when the famous Bront? sisters began writing books in 1846，they disguised （伪装） themselves by signing their books w（68）ithmen's names．
Teaching was the first profession （职业） open to women soon after 1800．But even so，that was not an e（69）asy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men．Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to
a（70）ccept women．
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became f（71）amous．Because she was a wealthy and cultured woman，as well as a nurse，people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the s（72）ickand still be"ladies"．Miss Nightingale opened England's first training school for nurses in 1860．
The i（73）nventionof the typewriter （打字机） in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world．Because women had slender （纤细的），quick f（74）ingers，they learned to operate typewriter quickly and well．Businessmen found that they had to hire women for this new kind of work．
By 1900，thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools，hospitals，and offices in both England and America．Some women even m（75）anagedto become doctors or lawyers．The idea that"nice"women could work in the business world had been accepted．

Answer 1

分析 到了1800年，妇女也只有在家中才享有一席之地．家庭主妇们成为事业型女人是根本无法想象的．男人们认为没有女人可以在外面找到好工作．但是当勃朗特姐妹自1846年开始写书后，她们的名字却已经取代了一些男作家出现在了书面上．
1800年后，教育是第一个为妇女开放的职业．但因为大部分高校这些职位都是为男人准备，所以对女人来说不是那么容易．护士（这一职业）也只是在南丁格尔成名之后才成为对女人来说可敬的职业．鉴于她不仅是一位护士而且是一个学富五车的女性，人们开始相信女人可以去照顾生病的人而且被尊称为"女士"．在1860年南丁格尔女士开创了英国第一家护校．
而1867年发明的打字机将妇女领出了家门，去开创事业．截止1900年，数以万计的妇女在英美的学校、医院和政府机构得到了一份好的工作．甚至还有妇女成功的成为了医生和律师．女人也可以开创自己的事业这样的想法终于被接受了．

70．accept．介词考查． 句意：俄亥俄州的奥柏林大学是第一所接受妇女的大学．根据短语语境，前面讲述colleges were open only to men的是许多学校只对男性开放，而这所大学是第一所接受妇女的大学．动词不定式做后置定语，结合首字母，接受：accept，故答案是accept．

点评 首先需要从整体上理解文章，这是很关键的．其次，要知道所给词语的意义和词性，一般来讲，所给的词语以名词、动词和形容词为主，有时也给出副词、介词、连词或代词．然后，通过文章内容尽力分析空白处所缺的部分是什么成分，应该用什么样的词性，实际上这里更多地涉及到了句法知识中的句子成分和简单句的基本句型等语法知识．比如说名词一般用作主语、宾语或表语；动词一般置于主语之后用作谓语；形容词一般用作定语、表语或宾语补足语；副词一般修饰谓语动作，用作状语；介词最大的特征是置于名词或代词之前，构成介词短语；连词一般用来引导一个从句．最后，把干扰选项排除掉，并且把答案都填进空白处检查一遍文章．
