There are five reading passages followed by a total of twenty-five multiple choice questions. Read the passage and then make your choices. (25 points)Passage OneSir Isaac Newton noted in 1672 that a beam of sunlight passed through prism and allowed to fall on a white surface becomes a “rainbow” of varying colors: red at one end, ranging through orange, yellow, green and blue, to violet at the other. This colored strip of pure lights is called a spectrum, the Latin word meaning “apparition.”Sunlight consists of a mixture of light of varying wavelengths that affect our eyes differently, so that we see the components of sunlight as colors. When a beam of light passes into glass at an acute angle, it is bent, or refracted, and if the glass is a triangular prism, the wavelengths are refracted farther in the same direction, and the spectrum appears. Light that appears red is refracted the most.Scientists have found that particular substances, when heated to a white heat, give off only certain colors; when the light from this heated substance is passed through a slit, each color in the light will form an image of the slit at a certain predictable position in the spectrum, leaving the rest of the band black. Sunlight passing through a cool gas will have certain of its colors absorbed – dark images of the slit will then appear against the colored background.By using a spectroscope, an instrument through which one can view a spectrum against a marked scale so that the position of each color line can be located exactly, scientists have learned about the composition of the sun and the star.1. A beam of sunlight becomes a “rainbow” when it __________.A. passes through a pane of glassB. fails on any white surfaceC. asses through a prismD. is composed of pure light2. Sunlight consists of __________.A. a mixture of light of varying wavelengthsB. pure colorC. light waves of equal lengthsD. light waves traveling at varying angles3. The spectrum results from light waves being __________.A. projected in an unvarying patternB. heated by their passage through glassC. refracted at any angleD. refracted by a prism4. Scientists have found that certain substances, when heated, will __________.A. absorb all colorsB. refract all colorsC. give off only certain colorsD. reflect certain colors5. The selection says that scientists have used the spectroscope to study the __________.A. composition of the sun and starsB. nature of light wavesC. behavior of gasesD. posits of the sun and stars Passage TwoFingerprints, one of the great deciders of innocence or guilt in criminal charges, are now in the dock themselves. This is because of a growing number of claims from defendants that their “prints” have been “lifted” and planted at scenes of crimes. And these allegations are being taken seriously by lawyers, judges and policemen because it is possible to move a fingerprint from one spot and place it elsewhere.With one of the cornerstones of evidence now being placed in doubt a committee of criminal lawyers is carrying out an inquiry into fingerprinting. The investigation has been ordered by Justice, the prestigious legal organization, and a report is due early next year. Last night a spokesman for Justice said: “There are an increasing number of cases where people are claiming their prints have been transferred and put in incrimination objects. We are not aiming to establish if these allegations are true or not, but we are questioning current fingerprinting methods as part of a general investigation into scientific evidence. Some of Britain’s top criminal lawyers are worried about this increasing number of claims.How can a fingerprint be transferred? A finger mark left on a greasy glass or some other smooth surface can be “lifted” with a strip of adhesive. It can then be deposited on another, perhaps incriminating, object. Accusations about “planted prints” were first put up at an Old Bailey IRA bomb trial nine years ago – without success. Fingerprints at the scene of a crime used to be dusted down with fine powder, photographed for identification purposes, then the pictures and the objectscarrying the prints were produced in court.However, since 1973 a new method of taking prints has been generally used in Britain. Police experts now use a strip of adhesive tape to “lift” a print which is then produced in court as evidence. Before 1973 the object on which the prints were found – a bottle, dagger or a gun – used to be shown in court as well. This is no longer necessary. As a result criminals are claiming that their prints have been “lifted” and planted elsewhere. There have been two successful claims in the United States, though this line of defense has failed in Britain.According to the ex-chief of Scotland Yard’s fingerprint department, Mr. Harold Squires, who is now an independent defense witness: “More than 55% of the cases I now get are making these claims. But so far I have not seen any fingerprint evidence that proves the allegation to be true. Petty crooks are always accusing the police of lifting their prints and planting them at the scene of a crime.” According to ex-chief Superintendent Squires, lifting a mark and transferring it to another object “requires great skill and trouble.” He added: “It’s almost impossible but it can be done. It can usually be easily detected by someone like me, but there is a chance that even I may not be able to tell.”6. Fingerprints have been traditionally regarded as __________.A. the only proof of a suspected criminal’s innocence or guiltB. no proof of a suspected criminal’s innocence or guiltC. one of many proofs of a suspected criminal’s innocence or guiltD. a key proof of a suspected criminal’s innocence or guilt7. The investigation into fingerprints is __________.A. to prove that policemen have been behaving dishonestlyB. to establish the truth of the allegationsC. part of a wider investigation.D. to allay the fears of some top criminal lawyers.8. The text suggests that __________.A. some of the allegations against fingerprinting are justifiedB. transferring fingerprints is a very delicate operationC. transferring fingerprints is too much trouble for most policemenD. it is likely that some policemen transfer fingerprints9. We learn from Paragraph 4 that since 1973, __________.A. fingerprints at the scene of a crime have been dusted down with fine powder and photographedB. it has been necessary to produce in court the objects on which the prints were foundC. there have been successful claims against police fingerprinting methods in the United States and Great BritainD. police fingerprinting methods have been simplified10. Mr. Squires seems most concerned that __________.A. the number of suspected criminals accusing the police of transferring their fingerprintsB. the increasing number of small time criminalsC. the dishonesty of the policeD. the unreliability of the new fingerprinting methodsPassage ThreeIs language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can bestarved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no such drastic deprivation exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the cues and signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to mop up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ (Intelligence Quotient). At twelve weeks a baby smile and utters vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather in grammar. Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a teddy-bear with the sound pattern “teddy – bear.” And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the hubbub of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in novel ways. But speech has to be triggered, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the cues and signals in the child’s babbling, clinging, grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal curs is essential to the growth and development of language.11. Frederick II’s experiment was drastic because __________.A. he wanted to prove that children are born with the ability to speakB. he ignored the importance of mothering to the infantC. he was unkind to the nursesD. he wanted to see if the children would die before they reached the age of one12. The reason some children are backward in speaking today is that __________.A. they do not listen carefully to their mothersB. their brains have to absorb too much language at onceC. their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speakD. their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them.13. By “critical times” the author means __________.A. difficult periods in the child’s lifeB. moments when the child becomes critical towards its motherC. important stages in the child’s developmentD. times when mothers often neglect their children14. Which of the following is not implied in the message? __________A. The faculty of speech is inborn in man.B. Children do not need to be encouraged to speak.C. The child’s brain is highly selective.D. Most children learn their language in definite stages.15. If the mother does not respond to her child’s signals __________.A. the child will never be able to speak properlyB. the child will stop giving out signalsC. the child will invent a language of his ownD. the child will make little effort to speakPassage FourIn face of the numbers of people who war suffering anxiety attacks over AIDS, global warming, ozone sharp decline, and the proliferation of chemical weapons, you have a disturbingly large population easily influenced by the madness aroused with the arrival of the period of the second thousand years.Even supposedly sober observes are taking positions in the millenarian parade. Novelist, poet, and science writer Brad Leithauser is convinced the second millennium is going to bring a “psychological shift” that will “literally redefine what it means to be a human being.” Leithauser believes that global weather patterns will undergo random, even chaotic, changes produced by the dreaded greenhouse effect. In his novel Hence set around 2000, Leithauser visualizes religious leaders seizing on the resultant disturbances – flooded cities, soaring cancer rates, and what have you – and taking them “as a sign that the end is near.”At the same time, Leithauser thinks, a combination of high-speed living and runaway technology will serve further to alienate people from themselves. He predicts that invasive media will bring an inescapable large number of stimuli. In this atmosphere of “ever-shortening collective memory,” books will become pass. Indeed, any form of reflective solitude will become “quietly sinful,” says a character in Leithauser’s novel, and seeking it out will require “almost an act of social defiance.” Economic expert Ravi Bartra is equally convinced that by the dawn of the second millennium people will have undergone a thorough spiritual and economic transformation. He warns that the voices of the rich will soon superheat the global economy to the point of explosion and collapse, in the wake of which “society will border on chaos. There will be a polarization of society into two classes – the haves and the have-nots – and there will be a lot of crime and street demonstrations” as the angry have-nots make strong claim for food, shelter, and social justice. But Batra, unlike Leithauser, sees the coming bimillennial breakdown as a sort of getting rid of sin by fire on the way to a better world. From the ashes of economic and social collapse, he says, will rise a “higher consciousness” – a climate in which pornography, selfishness, and extreme concentration of wealth are reproached and society becomes “more concerned with the handicapped and the weaker.” On the job, he foresees “far more democratic large factories, where employees not only sit on boards of directors but actually run companies.” Meanwhile, discipline will capture the home-and-family front, with “children obeying their parents more, and more family stability, fewer divorces.”16. The first two paragraphs say that, faced with the various problems, people are likely to become crazy about __________.A. the turn of the millenniumB. global warming and ozone depletionC. disturbingly large populationD. the psychological shift17. In the third paragraph, who think(s) those disturbances to be a sign of the impending end? __________A. Pessimistic meteorologistsB. You – the readerC. Religious readersD. Leithauser18. In paragraph 4, line 4, the word “pass” in this context means __________.A. essentialB. availableC. passableD. obsolete19. In the eyes of Ravi Batra, the world of the second millennium would be one of __________.A. tragedyB. disorderC. economic explosionD. wealth concentration20. Ravi Batra is different in attitude toward the arrival of the second millennium from Brad Leithauser in that __________.A. Leithauser is more positiveB. Batra is more optimisticC. the former thinks more of the breakdownD. the latter tends to look at the bright side of thingsPassage FiveThe Planning Commission asserts that the needed reduction in acute hospital beds can best be accomplished by closing the smaller hospitals, mainly voluntary and proprietary. This strategy follows from the argument that closing entire institutions saves more money than closing the equivalent number of beds scattered throughout the health system.The issue is not that simple. Larger hospitals generally are designed to provide more complex care. Routine care at large hospitals costs more than the same care given at smaller hospitals. Therefore, closure of all the small hospitals would commit the city to paying considerably more for impatient care delivered at acute care hospitals than would be the case with a mixture of large and small institutions. Since reimbursement rates at the large hospitals are now based on total costs, paying the large institutions a lower rate for routine care would simply raise the rates for complex care by a comparable amount. Such a reimbursement rate adjustment might make the charges for each individual case more accurately reflect the actual costs, but there would be not reduction in the total costs.There is some evidence that giant hospitals are not the most efficient. Service organizations – and medical care remains largely a service industry – frequently find that savings of scale have an upper limit. Similarly, the quality of routine care in the very largest hospitals appears to be less than optimum. Also, the concentration of all hospital beds in a few locations may effect the access to care.Thus, simply closing the smaller hospitals will not necessarily save money or improve the quality of care.Since the fact that there are too many acute care hospital beds in the city, the problem is to devise a proper strategy for selecting and urging the closure of the excess beds, however many it may turn out to be.The closing of whole buildings within large medical centers had many of the cost advantages of closing the whole of small institutions, because the fixed costs can also be reduced in such cases. Unfortunately, many of the separate buildings at medical centers are special use facilities, therelocation of which is extremely costly. Still, a search should be made for such opportunities.The current lack of adequate ambulatory care facilities raises another possibility. Some floors or other large compact areas of hospitals could be transferred from impatient to ambulatory uses. Reimbursement of ambulatory service is chaotic, but the problem is being addressed. The overhead associated with the entire hospital should not be charged even pro rata to the ambulatory facilities. Even if it were, the total cost would probably be less than that of building a new facility. Many other issues would also need study, especially the potential over-centralization of ambulatory services.The Planning Commission language seems to imply that one reason for closing smaller hospitals is that they are “mainly voluntary and proprietary,” thus, preserving the public hospital system by making the rest of the hospital system for many reasons, but the issue should be faced directly and not hidden behind arguments about hospital size if indeed that was the meaning.21. The best title for the passage would be __________.A. Maintaining Adequate Hospital FacilitiesB. Defending the Public HospitalsC. Protecting the Proprietary and Voluntary HospitalsD. Economic Efficiency in Hospital Bed Closing22. The Planning Commission is accused by the author of being __________.A. unfairB. foolishC. shortsightedD. ignorant23. The author’s purpose in discussing ambulatory care is to __________.A. discuss alternatives to closing hospital bedsB. present a method of reducing the fiscal disadvantages of closing only parts of larger hospitalsC. help preserve the public hospital systemD. attack the inefficient use of space on larger hospitals24. With which of the following is the author least likely to agree? __________A. A proposal to save costs in prison system by building only very large prison complexes.B. A plan to stop the closing of any beds whatsoever in the city, until the costs of various alternatives can be fully considered.C. A proposal by an architecture firm that new hospital buildings have centralized record systems.D. A mayoral commission being formed to study the plight of the elderly.25. How does the author feel that his suggestions for closing impatient beds could impact on the ambulatory care system? __________A. Ambulatory care costs will probably be reduced.B. A reduction of hospital beds will increase the demand for ambulatory services.C. Smaller hospitals will have to cut back ambulatory services to stay fiscally viable.D. The use as ambulatory facilities of the space made available in large hospitals by bed closings might result in having too many ambulatory services based in large hospitals.II.

”Section ⅢWriting (30 points)Part A (10 points) A Letter, to QuitJun 22, 2005Dear Mr. Wang,First of all, please allow me to express my deep sorry to you for my resignation. I do know that this will bring about much trouble to you so that I write to you for my explanation.I decided to quit for some reasons as follows. To begin with, the job as an editor for the magazine Designs & Fashions is not suitable to me.What ’s more, I ’m preparindegree and I prefer to further my study. Again, I apologize for my resignation to you!I am looking forward to your early reply.Yours Sincerely,Li MingPart B (20 points)A Helpless FatherThe picture ironically shows that a pitiable old man in rags is being helplessly kicked off by his three sons and a daughter,who all wear decent clothes. The father ’ s negligent chare all guarding their home gates lest their old father “ roll into ”their households. In other words, they four ignore their m o t r h a e ls r e n s p s e o n o s f i b a i s l i s t y u m f o i r n t g h e i r old father eventhough they may be all living a satisfying life. That is a painful scene we often encounter in our daily life.Sad to say, the moral decline of the younger generations may be a rather explosive situation in our modern society. People definitely have their living conditions improved by wider andwider margins, as evidenced by the four children ’ s decent dressing, but their moral sense still remains sadly unchanged or in some cases becomes dramatically d o w n g r.a M d i o n s g t peoplemight have become too much self-centered, and even worse, they discard the tradition of giving respect to the elderly. They no longer care for their elders, let alone their neighbors or thedisadvantaged; instead they try every means to avoid responsibility for other citizens. When one cares for others, one might even appear stupid or may even be distrusted.Therefore, we have to take some useful measures to avoid the scene that is mentioned above. We must launch a variety of campaigns about the return to the good tradition of giving helpand love the elderly. Moreover, we must appeal to our government to establish some relevant laws to punish those who avoid their duties. The last but not the least, our respect for age is anindication of the progress of human society, as imperatives of traditions require. We sincerely wish that the old man could be welcome to any of the four households, elegantly dressed, anda smile on the face.2005 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)试题答案详解Section I Use of English51.

If we ana lyze the word and take it literally,” home” originally, has something to do with the pigsty apparently. Certainly, with its development, a home becomes more and more unlike a pigsty. However, I do not like those spotless houses, for Excessive cleanliness spoils a home. Home is where people live, so everything inside it should make people feel comfortable. If they pay much attention to the cleanliness of house, they will be a slaver of home. And it’s not worth being total housemaid. An admirable domestic setting should at the premise of strengthening the healthy and harmonious relationship among family members. A favorable home should be human friendly and too much detail-picking will lessen itsglamour. Some people like to keep their house tidy as if only for foreign visitors.

However, since electricity became more and more expensive people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）. During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This TAL#NBSP natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun's rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge（挑战）to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.(1) What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A. The climate of their areas.B. The energy for their houses.C. The fashions for their houses.D. The building materials for their houses.(2) People in some areas gain a source of heat by.A. keeping their livestock downstairsB. protecting their livestock from the coldC. sharing their houses only with their cowsD. living on the second floor with their livestock(3) The underlined words "natural law" in the third paragraph refer to the factthat.A. heat raises the temperature in the housesB. heat goes in the upward directionC. heat goes up if temperature is raisedD. heat increases the temperature of rocks(4) From the passage, we can conclude that.A. people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB. energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureC. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksD. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology18、【来源】 2005年高考真题辽宁卷（B篇）第60~63题8分(每题2分)2018~2019学年10月江苏南京鼓楼区金陵中学高一上学期月考第67~70题When Babbage was working at Cambridge, a new idea occurred to him. He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions（解法） to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving（涉及） long rows of figures in one continuous operation（运算） .In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government about his plan and was given £2, 500 to start with a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he has to take a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools. For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was "No" .From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully. But his greatest work was unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the beginning of the modern computer.(1) The machine Babbage wanted to construct would solve difficult mathproblems.A. in one operation with fewer mistakesB. in more than one operation without any mistakesC. in more than one operation with slight mistakesD. in one operation without any mistakes(2) Babbage failed to continue his research work in 1828 mainly because.A. he was in poor healthB. he almost ran out of moneyC. his co-workers argued with himD. he spent all his money on his bills(3) Babbage explained his new idea to the government officials, expectingthat.A. they would agree to his planB. they would pay for his new ideaC. they would support him with moneyD. they would exhibit his new design(4) From the passage, we can infer that.A. Babbage failed to be a famous scientist at CambridgeB. Babbage always had new ideas but gave them up easilyC. Babbage always needed support from the government officialsD.

Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon（现象）is commonly known as "Empty Nest Syndrome"（空巢综合症）.In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response（回应）in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as "distant parent phenomenon" , which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome" .(1) According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly causedby.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children(2) Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind,to.A. live in the countries with more moneyB. seek a better place for their aged parentsC. continue their studies abroadD. realize their dreams in foreign countries(3) If young people go abroad,.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right(4) From the last paragraph, we can infer that.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome”has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”21、【来源】 2005年高考真题辽宁卷（E篇）第72~75题8分(每题2分)There are two kinds of physical activity which require special training. The first demands exact careful movements of the muscles（肌肉）. This kind of activity must be strictly controlled because even a slight movement in the wrong direction will lead to a mistake. To type quickly, for example, a person needs training; the slightest movement of a finger in the wrong direction may cause a spelling mistake. Adancer who has to dance on the point of her shoes or turn around on one foot must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself. You may have seen a girl walking on a rope across an empty space, which, too, requires a lot of practice.The second kind of physical activity needs greater strength or extra effort. Most of us get tired if we try to run half a mile without stopping, but a specially-trained person can do this without much effort. Three years ago, some scientists carried out experiments, which produced meaningful and unexpected results. They wanted to find out whether a certain amount of physical exercise would injure those suffering from heart problems. They selected some male patients and trained them in continuous bicycle riding. They were surprised to find that the harmful effect of a given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patients who were not similarly trained. This is important because it shows that regular physical exercise enables us to make better use of the oxygen（氧气）we breathe in and that this training, in fact, reduces the amount of work our hearts do. Many tasks which are hard for untrained people are not hard at all for trained people.(1) The first kind of physical activity must be strictly controlled because.A. a mistake in the wrong direction is dangerous to the fingersB. a wrong movement in a direction will cause no mistakesC. a movement in the wrong direction will cause a mistakeD. a slight movement of a finger will lead to a mistake(2) What must a dancer do before she can balance herself?A. She must dance on the point of her shoes.B. She must receive long-time training.C. She must turn around on one foot.D. She must perform again and again.(3) The experiments done by some scientists showed that.A. some made patients were asked to ride bicycles regularly in the experimentsB. the physical exercise had more harmful effect on the hearts of the untrained patientsC. the physical exercise was harmless to the male patients with heart troubleD. the physical exercise could be helpful for the patients to take in more oxygen(4) What would be the best title for this text?A.
