ABDCDCathy and Wayne are in their late 20’s, have been married five years, and are childless. The last time a member of Cathy’s family asked, ―When are you going to start a family?‖ her answer was, ―We’re a family!‖Cathy and Wayne belong to a growing number of young married couples who are deciding not to have children. A recent survey showed that in the last five years the percentage of wives aged 25 to 29 who did not want children had almost doubled. What lies behind this decision which seems to fly in the face of biology and society?Perhaps the most publicly outspoken childless couple are Ellen Peck and her husband William. They are not against parenthood but against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want or not.―It’s a life-style choice,‖ Ellen says. ―We chose freedom and spontaneity (自发性), privacy (清静) and leisure. It’s also a question of where you want to give your efforts within your own family or in the larger community. This generation faces serious questions about the continuity of life on earth as well as its quality. Our grandchildren may have to buy tickets to see the last redwoods (红杉) or line up to get their oxygen ration (氧气量). There are men who complain about being caught in a traffic jam for hours on their way home to their five kids but can’t make the association between the children and the traffic jam. In a world seriously threatened by the consequences of overpopulation we’re concerned with making life without children acceptable and respectable. Too many children are born as a result of cultural pressure. And the results show up in the statistics on divorce and child-abuse.‖1.

Yet on that summer day in 1927 his name was on the world ’s lips – Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly the Atlantic alone. He had been an air mail pilot, flying back and forth between Chicago and the city of St. Louis. Determined to win the $25,000 prize offered by a fellow-American for the first flight from New York to Paris, Lindbergh had persuaded a group of St. Louis businessmen to finance the building of a special plane for them. The news that Lindbergh intended to fly the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief. ―The plane would never fly,‖ people said. It would run out of fuel. It had only a single engine. Lloyd ’s of London refused to insure the flight. Men called Lindbergh the ―flying fool.‖ But on May 20th, 1927, just after ten to eight in the morning, Lindbergh ’s ―spirit of St. Louis,‖ heavily laden with fuel, struggled into air from a New York airfield. For several hours the weight to the petrol prevented the young pilot from flying more than a few feet above the wave-top. Night came, and thick fog covered up the stars. Lindbergh flew steadily on, hoping that his course was the right one. He struggled to keep awake, checking the fuel all the time to keep his mind active. Throughout the next day the ―Spirit of St. Louis ‖ flew on over the seeming limitless sea. Then a fishing boat appeared, and an hour later, land. It was Ireland. Lindbergh set a compass course for Paris. By ten o ’clock the light of France ’s capital were shining beneath him. Tired, unshaven, suddenly hungry, the ―flying fool ‖ came on to Le Bourget Airport, and landed in front of a huge crowd of wildly cheering people. After 34 hours of continuous piloting, the flight of 3600miles was over. 1. The British Minister Of Air _________. A) Praised Lindbergh for his intelligence B) encouraged Lindbergh to be adventurous C) congratulated Lindbergh for his bravery D) warned Lindbergh to be sensible 2. ―His name was on the world ’s lips ‖ means _________.

The discovery was made by doctors at Harvard University. They began by studying the clock-like group of cells in the brains of monkeys.Dr. Martin Moore Ede and Dr. Ralph Leidick recorded when during the day the monkeys ate, drank and slept. They found that most of the monkeys did the same things at about the same time each day. Then the doctors operated on the monkeys. They destroyed the tiny group of brain cells which they believed controlled the timing of activities.After the operation they found that the animals ate, drank, and slept the same amounts as before. But they did these things at very different times each day. There no longer seemed to be a clock within them that told them when it was time to eat, drink or sleep.Scientists could not do the same kinds of experiments with humans. But they were able to find evidence of a similar group of cells in the human brain.Dr. Charles Seizler and the two Harvard researchers looked through many years of medical records to find patients who had tumors (肿瘤) or brain damage in that area of the brain. The records showed that such patients had the same kind of eating, drinking. and sleeping problems as the monkeys whose timer cells had been destroyed.The scientists believe the cells above the optic nerves (视神经) are only one of two biological clocks in the brain. They said they had not yet found the one which governs changes in thebody’s t emperature.1. Dr. Martin Moore Ede and Dr. Ralph Leidick found in their research that ________.A) the majority of monkeys did the same things at the same time even when the timer cellshad been removed from the brainB) only the minority of the monkeys did the same things at the same time each dayC) after the operation the monkeys ate and drank the same, but slept less than beforeD) after they destroyed the brain cells controlling the timing of activities, the monkeys didn’tseem to do some things at the same time as before2. Harvard doctors have discovered a group of timer cells ________.A) in the biological clocks B) in the human bodyC) in the brain D) in monkeys’ head3. The sentence ―Scientists could not do the same kinds of experiments with humans.‖ (Paragraph 4) implies that ________.A) human brains were too complicated to operate on第7 页共11 页B) it was illegal to operate on a human brain just for an experimentC) human brains were too expensive to obtainD) now that the cells had be en found in the monkey’s brain, it was no use repeating the same research on the human brain4. Scientist were keen on examining the histories of the brain-defective patients most probably because ________.A) they wanted to find evidence of the timer cells in the human brainB) they wanted to cure the patients of the diseasesC) their sympathy for the patients drove them to do soD) they didn’t feel sure about the existence of such cells in the brain5. The sentence ―The scientists believe the cells above the optic nerves are only one of two biological clocks in the brain.‖ means ________.A) only one biological clock is in the brainB) the two biological clocks both lie in the brainC) only one biological clock is found in the brainD) none of the above（四）It was midnight in Paris and we were rolling toward the Avenue Bosgut. As we came to the Pont Alexandre III, the cab slowed down, for the traffic light was red against, and then, without stopping, we sailed through the red light in a sudden burst of speed. The same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge. As I paid the driver, I asked him why he had driven through two red lights.―You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a veteran like you, breaking the law and endangering you life that way.‖ I protested.He looked at me astonished. ― Ashamed of myself? I am a law-abiding citizen and have no desire to get killed either.‖ He cut me off before I could protest.―No, just listen to me before you complain. What did I do? Went through a red light. Well, did you ever stop to consider what a red light is, what it means?‖―Certainly.‖I replied. ―It’s a stop signal and means that traffic is rolling in the opposite direction.‖―Half-right,‖ said the driver, ―but incomplete. It is only an automatic stop signal. And it does not mean that there is cross traffic. Did you see any cross traffic during our trip? Of course not. I slowed down at the light, looked carefully to the right and to the left. Not another car on the streets at this hour. Well, then! What would you have me do? Should I stop like a dumb animal because an automatic, brainless machine turns red every seconds? No, monsieur,‖ he thundered, hitting the door with a huge fist. I am a man, not a machine. I have eyes and a brain and judgment, given me by God. It would be a sin against nature to surrender them to the dictates of a machine. Ashamed of myself, you say? I would only be ashamed of myself if I let those blinking lamp do my thinking for me. Good night, monsieur.‖Is this bad, is this good? Frankly I No longer am sure. I never doubted that it was wrong to drive through a red light, but now I find my old Anglo-Saxon standards somewhat shaken. (82%)第8 页共11 页21.

作业三1~5 / 40 阅读理解题（12.5分）There is now a growing belief that fathers, do play an important role in raising children and do leave a deep mark on their daughters, not just their sons. It is now believed that regardless of their age, daughters who have meaningful, comfortable relationships with their fathers are generally more self-confident and independent, have better relationships with men, are less depressed (沮丧), have fewer eating disorders and drug or alcohol problems and achieve more in school and at work. And the easier it is for a daughter to communicate with her father, the more she enjoys being with him and gets more out of the relationship. On the other hand, girls who grow up with absent or emotionally-distant fathers seek acceptance from others, sometimes much older males.In his book Fathers & Daughters, William S. Appleton writes about his thoughts from 20 years’experience as a psychiatrist (精神科医生) treating troubled women who have identified their fathers as a contributing factor to their adult unhappiness as well as success. He found out that their fathers’influence deeply colors their careers and private lives. “The father’s role in a daughter’s life is invaluable in shaping her future male-female relationships,”says Dr. Appleton. “Whether they are aware of it or not, females tend to (倾向于) pattern such relationships after the model set by their fathers. Dad is the typical example in a girl’s life of how she should be treated by males.”Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician (儿科医生) with more than 20 years’experience advising girls and author of the book Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know, reveals that a young woman’s relationship with her father is far more important than we’ve ever realized. In her book, she explains the important role fathers play in the lives of their daughters and how they can best use that role to develop strong moral values and healthy self-images in their daughters. To become a strong, confident woman, a daughter needs her father’s attention, protection, courage, and wisdom.（1 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 B What is the main topic of the passage?A Tips on how to be a good father.B A father’s influence on his daughter’s life. √C How to become a strong and confident woman.D Ways to improve father-daughter relationship.（2 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D What happens to daughters who have comfortable relationships with their fathers?A They are more dependent on their fathers.B They love their fathers more as they get older.C They have no difficulty dealing with other men.D They make greater achievements in their study and work. √（3 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D What can we learn about daughters having distant relationships with their fathers?A They may become more independent.B They may have no eating problems.C They may often leave school without graduation.D They may often turn to older men for appreciation. √（4 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C What does the sentence “females tend to pattern suchrelationships after the model set by their fathers”in Paragraph 2 mean?A Females may learn from their fathers how they should treat males.B Females may try hard to improve the relationship with their fathers.C Females may learn from their fathers how they should be treated by men. √D Females may try to find out the pattern of the relationship with their fathers.（5 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C The author mentions the professions of Dr. Appleton and Dr. Meeker mainly because he wants to _ _.A help readers know more about themB show that doctors can write great books, tooC make his arguments sound more convincing √D show readers they have different professions6~10 / 40 阅读理解题（12.5分）评分 7.5分Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. That is, it seems to be everywhere. Yet what does it all mean? Why are people more relaxed in green rooms? Why do weightlifters do their best in blue gyms?Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. And even in Western societies, the meanings of various colors have changed over the years. But today researchers have generally found the following to be accurate.Black is the color of power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission (顺从). Priests(牧师) wear black to show submission to God. But black clothes can also be overpowering.Brides wear white as a symbol of purity. White reflects light and is considered a summer color. White is popular in fashion because it is light and goes with everything. Doctors and nurses wear white to imply that they are clean.As the most emotionally strong color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Red cars are popular targets for thieves.The color of the sky and the ocean, blue causes the opposite reaction (反应) as red. Peaceful blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Fashion advisors recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it stands for loyalty (忠诚) . People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision (视力). It is a calming color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in “green rooms”to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients.Sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered a cheerful color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused.（6 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AWhat does the author most probably mean by “there is no escaping color”(Para. 1)?A Color is actually everywhere. √B Color is sometimes frightening.C People find it difficult not to use colors.D People have discovered all kinds of colors.（7 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AWhat do we learn about clothes of a specific color?A Red clothes can attract greater attention. √B Black clothes can make people look heavier.C Doctors wear white clothes to calm down patients.D Job interviewees wear blue clothes to relax themselves.（8 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C According to the author, why do sportsmen in blue rooms can be more successful?A Because blue can make sportsmen calm down.B Because blue can help to attract more attention.C Because blue can make a person more productive.D Because blue can give judges a good impression.（9 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AThe author implies that the information about the meanings of colors provided in the passage is __________.A mostly true √B not proved yetC just for referenceD going to change anytime（10 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A Colors are meaningful in different cultures.B Colors have changed its meanings over time.C Different colors may affect one’s mood in different ways. √D Different colors may have different meanings to different people.11~15 / 40 阅读理解题（12.5分）All parents need to motivate (激励) their kids. Whether it’s getting smaller children to eat their dinner or getting a sixth-grader to do homework, getting kids to apply energy to a situation can be a challenge. The traditional way has all-too-often been to shout, threaten, and scold children into action.But while that approach has some obvious shortcomings, it turns out the opposite way can be harmful, too, according to experts. Some parents simply reward their children too much, which can reinforce (强化) a whole range of negative personalities (性格) and lead to some problematic behaviors.Children are master observers. And if you continually reward children for doing things, pretty soon they can develop the opinion that they should only do things if there’s a reward or payment involved.When parents too often reward children for various behaviors, it removes opportunities for children to judge for themselves what’s important and necessary –they always have an expert in the form of their parents to tell them what should matter to them. This can hurt their confidence in their own observations.When children are rewarded too much, they are likely to focus on external (外在的) rewards instead of internal ones –the “What’s in it for me?”attitude. And while this may prove to be a practical way to get your children to clean up the mess they made in the living room, it’s notalways so handy as it grows into adulthood. At that point, this viewpoint can become a great trouble.By offering a reward anytime a task needs to be done, parents send a message to their kids that the task is unpleasant. But that may not necessarily be the case. Many tasks can be fun for children because kids have endless desire for new experiences and learning. Reward-giving often prevents this natural desire, by taking away their attention with external reinforcement.（11 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D What does the author say about the two ways used by parents to get kids do things well?A The traditional way is not good at all.B The traditional way works better on smaller children.C Giving frequent rewards is better than the traditional way.D Giving frequent rewards may make children form some bad habits. √（12 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D According to the passage, what can be the result of motivating kids with rewards?A Kids will learn it is rewarding to do things well.B Kids will learn to always turn to experts for advice.C Kids will lose their focus on more important matters.D Kids will lose their ability to make their own judgment. √（13 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C What does “What’s in it for me?”in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A What good things can I do for others?B What expectations do you have for me?C What reward can I get from doing this task? √D What things can I learn from doing this task?（14 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AAccording to the author, what message can be sent if parents offer rewards to their children for every task to be done?A The task must be unpleasant. √B The task must be challenging.C The task can give me new experiences.D The task can help me to learn something.（15 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 B Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A What Can Kids Learn from Their Parents?B Can It Bad to Reward Children for Being Good? √C Advantages and Disadvantages of Rewarding Children.D Traditional Ways and New Ways of Motivating Children.16~20 / 40 阅读理解题（12.5分）评分 5分If you have a good neighbor, you are a lucky person. You have someone who cares about your needs and your property (房产), who is helpful in the little day-to-day situations that come up, and who is supportive in difficult times.A good neighbor is someone who, for instance, understands that your children may sometimes run across his lawn (草坪), even though you tell them not to. He’ll realize that children can be careless about things like that, and he won’t make a big fuss (大惊小怪) about it unless it becomes a regular thing. In the same vein, he knows that you’ll understand if some of the trashfrom his trash cans blows across into your yard.A good neighbor is also respectful of your property. For example, he asks your permission before doing anything that gets in your way. This means he wouldn’t plant a huge tree between your houses without asking how you feel about it. If he wants to put up a fence, he would let you know first. He might work with you to decide where it should be placed.A good neighbor would lend you some milk if you ran out. He’d give you a ride to work if your car was broken, and let your children stay at his house in the evening if you got stuck working overtime. You would do the same for him. Both of you would help make the other’s life easier. When something really awful happens to you, like a death in the family, a good neighbor will offer to help in any way he can. This could mean something small, like making some food to put in your fridge to feed visiting relatives. Or it could mean something big, like helping you get through the sadness of the funeral.I think only someone who has experienced a bad neighbor can really appreciate a good one! A good neighbor can be a good friend. He can make a total difference to your life.（16 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D Why does the author think it lucky for one to have a good neighbor?A Because a good neighbor can take good care of you.B Because a good neighbor can hardly be found these daysC Because a good neighbor can help clean your home.D Because a good neighbor can support you in various situations.（17 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AWhat does the phrase “in the same vein”in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A Similarly. √B However.C Instead.D Generally.（18 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AA good neighbor may complain if ________.A your children frequently run across his lawn √B some of your trash blows across into his yarDC you ask him to let your children visit his houseD you want to put up a fence between the houses（19 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C According to the passage, which of the following things may a good neighbor help to do?A To provide help in holding a funeral.B To take away your trash when you forget.C To give you a ride to work if your car did not work. √D To take your children to school when you are at work.（20 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D According to the passage, how important is a good neighbor to you?A A good neighbor can help you avoid awful things.B A good neighbor can turn you into a different person.C A good neighbor can help you get rid of a bad neighbor.D A good neighbor can have an important influence on your life.21~25 / 40 阅读理解题（12.5分）评分 5分Many students choose to study abroad in order to gain international experience. What many of them don’t realize, however, is that living in another country for a long period of time may cause moderate to severe feelings of anxiety. Culture shock is the term given to the feelings of loss, surprise, and confusion (困惑) that many people feel when they live abroad. Scientists have noted that everyone experiences culture shock in different ways and for different amounts of time. However, there are four general stages of culture shock that can occur in any order, including excitement, rejection, regression, and recovery.The first stage of culture shock is typical excitement because the travelers are interested in all of the differences found in the new country. They may be amazed at the beautiful new scenery, enjoy the delicious new food, and simply enjoy experiencing the new sights and sounds. While the excitement stage is fun and exciting, it also ends fairly quickly as the travelers meet difficulty adjusting (适应) to life in the new country.Because life is so different in the new country, the foreigners experience many unexpected difficulties as they enter the second stage of culture shock, the rejection stage. This is the time when the foreigners begin to feel upset because of the differences, and they may start to complain about the host country.In the regression stage, the foreigners lovingly remember their home country. They forget about all of the troubles and problems they had in their home country and wish they could return. At this stage, the foreigners will try to regress, or go back, to their home country in some ways. Once the regression stage passes, they move into the fourth stage, the recovery stage. In this stage, they become used to the new culture. The differences are not new or troublesome anymore, and they begin to accept the customs of the new country and feel more comfortable. （21 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AWhat is the passage mainly about?A Various periods of culture shock. √B Four ways to overcome culture shock.C Difficulties in facing the culture shock.D Differences in people’s reaction to culture shock.（22 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C According to the text, which of the following may NOT be so exciting for a foreigner who just arrived in a new country?A Tasting new food.B Seeing new things.C Learning new customs.D Enjoying beautiful views.（23 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AAt what stage may the foreigners begin to feel annoyed and upset?A Rejection. √B Recovery.C Regression.D Excitement.（24 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D What does the word “regression”(Para. 1, Line 7) most probably mean in this passage?A Forgetting things that happened in the past.B Returning to the previous culture shock stage.C Leaving the new country for one’s home country.D Remembering the good times in one’s home country. √（25 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 B How do the foreigners feel at the stage of recovery?A They finally realize the new culture is better.B They no longer feel upset at the new culture. √C They are happy that all their troubles in their home country are gone.D They are more comfortable in the new country than in their home country.26~30 / 40 阅读理解题（12.5分）It is generally believed that improper human activities contribute to global warming. But this belief is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years. Based on statistics from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997. The figures also suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age comparable to the 70-year temperature drop in the 17th century.Meanwhile, climate scientists said that, after releasing unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th century, the sun is now heading toward a “grand minimum”in its output (输出). This is likely to cause cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food.Solar output goes through 11-year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots (太阳黑子) seen at their peak. We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call “Cycle 24”. But sunspot numbers are running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th century. Analysis by experts suggests that Cycle 25, whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal weaker still.According to a paper published last week, there is a 92 percent chance that both Cycle 25 and those taking place in the following decades will be as weak as, or weaker than the period of 1790 to 1830. In that period, average temperatures in parts of Europe fell by 2℃. It is also possible that the new solar energy drop could be as deep as what happened between 1645 and 1715 when the canals of Holland froze solid.（26 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D According to the author, which of the following views seem to be generally accepted but may now prove wrong?A The sun output is getting weaker.B The earth is facing a temperature drop.C The sun output is getting more harmful.D The earth is getting warmer and warmer. √（27 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 B According to the new temperature data, ____________.A world temperatures will continue to riseB world temperatures have not risen since 1997 √C world temperature will keep dropping for the next 70 yearsD world temperatures have been dropping for the past 15 years（28 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D Which of the following is implied, but not directly stated as a possible consequence of reduced solar output?A Bitter winters.B Cold summers.C Shortened seasons.D Reduced food production. √（29 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D What can we learn about sun energy in the 20th century and 21st century?A Solar output will reach its minimum in the 21st century.B Solar output in the 20th century was the highest in history.C Sunspot numbers in Cycle 24 has reached its peak in the 21st century.D Sunspot numbers in Cycle 24 is less than half those in the 20th century. √（30 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C What is predicted about solar energy in Cycle 25?A Cycle 25 may be stronger than Cycle 24.B Cycle 25 may be weaker than the following decades.C Cycle 25 may be as weak as the period of 1645 to 1715. √D Cycle 25 may be stronger than the period of 1790 to 1830.31~35 / 40 阅读理解题（12.5分）How many calories (卡路里) we eat appears more important than what we eat when we eat too much. That was the finding of a new study that should be satisfying to anyone who counts calories for weight control.Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows there are all kinds of conflicting diet plans. Some tell people not to eat carbohydrates (碳水化合物). Others say not to eat fats. Still others say to eat more protein (蛋白质), or to eat less protein. Dr. George Bray at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana led the new study. He wanted to know if protein in food affects weight gain.Twenty-five healthy adults were in the study. They were overfed with almost a thousand calories a day over an eight-week period. They followed diets with low, normal or high levels of protein. Normal was defined as 15 percent of energy from protein. Dr. Bray says all of them gained weight. Fat storage was exactly the same with all three levels of protein. It was the calories that they ate that affected the body fat that they stored.The study found that those who ate a higher percentage of protein gained more lean body mass(去脂体重), the mass of the body minus the fat. The opposite happened on a low- protein diet. “If your protein intake is low, you’ll actually lose body mass even though you’re eating an excess (过量的) amount of calories.”Dr. Bray tells his patients to weigh themselves regularly so they can know quickly if they gain weight.Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian at the Harvard School of Public Health studies the relationship between diet and conditions like heart disease and diabetes. He says keeping a healthy weight is not just about eating less, but also about what you eat. People don’t need to go down a list of “avoid this, avoid that”to become food police. Actually, the foods they try to avoid are mostly what should be increased. That includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, vegetable oils and nuts. He says increasing these six foods by about one serving each day would reduce obesity (肥胖症) and help reduce obesity-related diseases.（31 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D What is the main purpose of the study led by Dr. Bray?A To prove how fats contribute to weight gain.B To find out a proper diet for overweight people.C To study the relationship between diet and heart disease.D To study the relationship between protein and weight gain. √（32 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C What happened to the participants in the study led by Dr.Bray?A They managed to get 15 percent of energy from protein.B They were asked to eat different levels of calories.C They were found to have stored the same amount of fat. √D They were found to have stored different levels of protein.（33 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 C Who are likely to lose lean body mass?A Those who eat more calories than normal.B Those who eat fewer calories than normal.C Those who eat a lower percentage of protein. √D Those who eat a higher percentage of protein.（34 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AAccording to Dr. Mozaffarian, what should people do to reduce obesity and obesity-related diseases?A They should increase certain foods. √B They should become “food police”.C They should eat fewer of certain foods.D They should avoid some specific foods.（35 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D Which is the main message the author tries to send about weight control?A People should follow a low protein diet.B People should weigh themselves regularly.C A balanced diet may help people stay healthy.D The amount of calories one eats matters most.36~40 / 40 阅读理解题（12.5分）评分 7.5分Many Americans say the hardest job in the world is being president of the United States. He must be able to deal with problems 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Even on holidays or in the middle of the night, he may have to make decisions that affect both people in this country and the rest of the world.That is why some news media tell about changes in a president’s personal appearance during his time in office, such as grayer hair and more lines on his face. And that got S. Olshansky, researcher in aging at the University of Illinois at Chicago, to think.Many doctors say that high levels of stress are bad for your health. So people would expect a president’s life to be shorter than average. Some people even say that being president could cause a person to age two times as fast as normal. So Professor Olshansky examined the lives of the 34 American presidents who died of natural causes. He found that 23 of them lived longer than most people born at the same time.The average age of those 34 presidents when they died was 73. If they had aged two times as fast as normal, they should have lived to be only 68.1 years old. The professor also found that the first eight presidents lived an average of 79.8 years. At that time, modern medicines had not been invented, and most men lived only about 40 years old.Professor Olshansky says gray hair, hair loss and other changes are part of aging and may result from something in our genes. So presidents are not different from the rest of us. But he thinks there are three reasons they outlive other people. Most presidents are well-educated. Many are wealthy when compared to other Americans. And they have the best medical care possible. Theyknow how to stay healthy, and have the best doctors. As a result, they can afford to live a healthy life long after they leave the White House. Professor Olshansky says, “It is a classic example of the benefits of socioeconomic (社会经济的) status.”（36 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 B Which of the following do most doctors believe?A Big stress leads to a shorter lifeB Big stress is harmful to one’s health. √C Presidents live longer than most people.D Presidents age two times as fast as normal.（37 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 D What led Professor Olshansky to examine the lives of American presidents?A People are interested in presidents’personal appearance.B An American president does the hardest job in the world.C An American president is good at making important decisions.D People generally believe that presidents age faster than other people. √（38 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AWhat does “outlive”in the last paragraph most probably mean?A Live a longer life than other people.B Live a healthier life than other people.C Live a wealthier life than other peopleD Live a more powerful life than other people.（39 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AWhat do the presidents studied in Professor Olshansky’s research have in common?A They all died of natural causes. √B They all lived longer than their peers.C They all had access to modern medicine.D They all aged faster than people expected.（40 / 40）单选题（2.5分）正确答案 AWhich of the following is NOT a reason for American presidents to live longer?A They have better genes for long life. √B They have the best doctors and medicine.C They have higher social and economic status.D They have good education and try to keep healthy.。

ABDCDCathy and Wayne are in their late 20’s, have been married five years, and are childless. The last time a member of Cathy’s family asked, ―When are you going to start a family?‖ her answer was, ―We’re a family!‖Cathy and Wayne belong to a growing number of young married couples who are deciding not to have children. A recent survey showed that in the last five years the percentage of wives aged 25 to 29 who did not want children had almost doubled. What lies behind this decision which seems to fly in the face of biology and society?Perhaps the most publicly outspoken childless couple are Ellen Peck and her husband William. They are not against parenthood but against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want or not.―It’s a life-style choice,‖ Ellen says. ―We chose freedom and spontaneity (自发性), privacy (清静) and leisure. It’s also a question of where you want to give your efforts within your own family or in the larger community. This generation faces serious questions about the continuity of life on earth as well as its quality. Our grandchildren may have to buy tickets to see the last redwoods (红杉) or line up to get their oxygen ration (氧气量). There are men who complain about being caught in a traffic jam for hours on their way home to their five kids but can’t make the association between the children and the traffic jam. In a world seriously threatened by the consequences of overpopulation we’re concerned with making life without children acceptable and respectable. Too many children are born as a result of cultural pressure. And the results show up in the statistics on divorce and child-abuse.‖1. What does the member of Cathy’s family mean by saying ―When are you going to start afamily?‖A. When are you going to have children?B. When are you going to get married?C. When are you going to buy a house?D. When are you going to move to a new house?2. The number of childless young couples _____.A. is decreasingB. is increasingC. has more than doubledD. remains unchanged3. ―To fly in the face of‖ in the second paragraph means _____.A. to run intoB. to come acrossC. to followD. to go against4. Which of the following statements is true of the Pecks?A. They propose that young couples have no children.B. They urge that family planning be made obligatory.C. They think that no pressure should be put on young couples who do not want children.D. They think that there would be no divorce or child-abuse if young couples are notpressured into parenthood.5.

The lowering of the quality of life.D. War. （二） DACBC ―I ask you to drink to his health as a young man full of the sprit of adventure who has lit up the world with a flash of courage.‖ With these words the British Minister of Air turned and raised his glass to the young man who sat before him – a young man who, only a month before, was completely unknown. Yet on that summer day in 1927 his name was on the world ’s lips – Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly the Atlantic alone. He had been an air mail pilot, flying back and forth between Chicago and the city of St. Louis. Determined to win the $25,000 prize offered by a fellow-American for the first flight from New York to Paris, Lindbergh had persuaded a group of St. Louis businessmen to finance the building of a special plane for them. The news that Lindbergh intended to fly the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief. ―The plane would never fly,‖ people said. It would run out of fuel. It had only a single engine. Lloyd ’s of London refused to insure the flight. Men called Lindbergh the ―flying fool.‖ But on May 20th, 1927, just after ten to eight in the morning, Lindbergh ’s ―spirit of St. Louis,‖ heavily laden with fuel, struggled into air from a New York airfield. For several hours the weight to the petrol prevented the young pilot from flying more than a few feet above the wave-top. Night came, and thick fog covered up the stars. Lindbergh flew steadily on, hoping that his course was the right one. He struggled to keep awake, checking the fuel all the time to keep his mind active. Throughout the next day the ―Spirit of St. Louis ‖ flew on over the seeming limitless sea. Then a fishing boat appeared, and an hour later, land. It was Ireland. Lindbergh set a compass course for Paris. By ten o ’clock the light of France ’s capital were shining beneath him. Tired, unshaven, suddenly hungry, the ―flying fool ‖ came on to Le Bourget Airport, and landed in front of a huge crowd of wildly cheering people. After 34 hours of continuous piloting, the flight of 3600miles was over. 1. The British Minister Of Air _________. A) Praised Lindbergh for his intelligence B) encouraged Lindbergh to be adventurous C) congratulated Lindbergh for his bravery D) warned Lindbergh to be sensible 2. ―His name was on the world ’s lips ‖ means _________. A) everybody was drinking his health B) everybody was jumping about because of him C) he became suddenly unpopular D) everybody was talking about him班级 学号姓名---------------------------------------------装-----------------------------------------订----------------------------------------线--------------------------------------------装订线以 内不准作任何 标记3.

The discovery was made by doctors at Harvard University. They began by studying the clock-like group of cells in the brains of monkeys.Dr. Martin Moore Ede and Dr. Ralph Leidick recorded when during the day the monkeys ate, drank and slept. They found that most of the monkeys did the same things at about the same time each day. Then the doctors operated on the monkeys. They destroyed the tiny group of brain cells which they believed controlled the timing of activities.After the operation they found that the animals ate, drank, and slept the same amounts as before. But they did these things at very different times each day. There no longer seemed to be a clock within them that told them when it was time to eat, drink or sleep.Scientists could not do the same kinds of experiments with humans. But they were able to find evidence of a similar group of cells in the human brain.Dr. Charles Seizler and the two Harvard researchers looked through many years of medical records to find patients who had tumors (肿瘤) or brain damage in that area of the brain. The records showed that such patients had the same kind of eating, drinking. and sleeping problems as the monkeys whose timer cells had been destroyed.The scientists believe the cells above the optic nerves (视神经) are only one of two biological clocks in the brain. They said they had not yet found the one which governs changes in thebody’s t emperature.1. Dr. Martin Moore Ede and Dr. Ralph Leidick found in their research that ________.A) the majority of monkeys did the same things at the same time even when the timer cellshad been removed from the brainB) only the minority of the monkeys did the same things at the same time each dayC) after the operation the monkeys ate and drank the same, but slept less than beforeD) after they destroyed the brain cells controlling the timing of activities, the monkeys didn’tseem to do some things at the same time as before2. Harvard doctors have discovered a group of timer cells ________.A) in the biological clocks B) in the human bodyC) in the brain D) in monkeys’ head3. The sentence ―Scientists could not do the same kinds of experiments with humans.‖ (Paragraph 4) implies that ________.A) human brains were too complicated to operate on第7 页共11 页B) it was illegal to operate on a human brain just for an experimentC) human brains were too expensive to obtainD) now that the cells had be en found in the monkey’s brain, it was no use repeating the same research on the human brain4. Scientist were keen on examining the histories of the brain-defective patients most probably because ________.A) they wanted to find evidence of the timer cells in the human brainB) they wanted to cure the patients of the diseasesC) their sympathy for the patients drove them to do soD) they didn’t feel sure about the existence of such cells in the brain5.

As we came to the Pont Alexandre III, the cab slowed down, for the traffic light was red against, and then, without stopping, we sailed through the red light in a sudden burst of speed. The same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge. As I paid the driver, I asked him why he had driven through two red lights.―You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a veteran like you, breaking the law and endangering you life that way.‖ I protested.He looked at me astonished. ― Ashamed of myself? I am a law-abiding citizen and have no desire to get killed either.‖ He cut me off before I could protest.―No, just listen to me before you complain. What did I do? Went through a red light. Well, did you ever stop to consider what a red light is, what it means?‖―Certainly.‖I replied. ―It’s a stop signal and means that traffic is rolling in the opposite direction.‖―Half-right,‖ said the driver, ―but incomplete. It is only an automatic stop signal. And it does not mean that there is cross traffic. Did you see any cross traffic during our trip? Of course not. I slowed down at the light, looked carefully to the right and to the left. Not another car on the streets at this hour. Well, then! What would you have me do? Should I stop like a dumb animal because an automatic, brainless machine turns red every seconds? No, monsieur,‖ he thundered, hitting the door with a huge fist. I am a man, not a machine. I have eyes and a brain and judgment, given me by God. It would be a sin against nature to surrender them to the dictates of a machine. Ashamed of myself, you say? I would only be ashamed of myself if I let those blinking lamp do my thinking for me. Good night, monsieur.‖Is this bad, is this good? Frankly I No longer am sure. I never doubted that it was wrong to drive through a red light, but now I find my old Anglo-Saxon standards somewhat shaken. (82%)第8 页共11 页21.
