    It was a simple letter asking for a place to study at Scotland's oldest university which helped start a
    revolution in higher education. A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to
    study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers. Written by Sophia
    Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow women to study
    medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Women's Day.
    The document was discovered buried in the universityarchives(档案) by part-time history student
    Lis Smith, who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research. She said: "We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical
    education for women, had written to theSenatus Academicus(校评议委员会) at St Andrews in an
    attempt to gain permission to attend classes there, but we didn't know documentary evidence existed.
    While searching the archives for information about the university's higher certificate for women, I was
    astonished to come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote."
    In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a
    medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St
    Andrews. Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies
    Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women. The qualification, which ran from
    1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted
    as students. It was so popular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St
    Andrews in 1892.
    Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874. She
    was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a medical degree in January 1877.
    Eventually, she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice.

  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
