The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that theirhearts do not lose their pumping power with age. "We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20--25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,”said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70,one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,”said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process."What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's." This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80,focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.1. The underlined word “longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ______.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect2. The text mainly talks about ______.A. men's heart cellsB. women's ageing process、C. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life3. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _________.A. women have more cells than men when they are bornB. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC. the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD. women never lose their pumping power with age4. If you want to live longer, you should __________.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. find out the reason for ageingC. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthyD. prevent your cells from being lost(B)Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like , mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk withoutmilk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫⼈)found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling”as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born .5.This passage mainly discusses __________. .A. the history of tea drinking in BritainB. how tea became a popular drink in BritainC. how the Britons got the habit of drinking teaD. how tea-time was born6.Tea became a popular drink in Britain ___________. .A. in the eighteenth centuryB. in the sixteenth centuryC. in the seventeenth centuryD. in the late seventeenth century7.People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because _________.A. it tasted like milkB. it tasted more pleasantC. it became a popular drinkD. Madame de Sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to copythe way she drank tea8.We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to theinfluence of __________. .A. a famous French ladyB. the ancient ChineseC. the upper(上层的) social classD. people in Holland(C)There are some special traditions in Hawaii. People are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They give visitors a lei(花环) along necklace of beautiful fresh flowers. Men wear bright flowered shirts, and women often wear long flowered dresses. There are traditional Chinese, Japanese and Filipino holidays and all the holidays from the United States. They call Hawaii the Aloha State. Aloha means both hello and goodbye. It also means “I love you”. Usually when people from different countries, races, and traditions live together, there are serious problems. There are a few problems in Hawaii, but in general, people have learned to live together in peace.Hawaiians earn most of their money from travelers and most of the travelers come from the mainland and from Japan. There are many people living in Hawaii now so there are residential areas where there used to be farms. Some of the big sugar and pineapple companies have moved to the Philippines, where they do not have to pay workers as much money. The families of the first people who came from the U.S. mainland own the important banks and companies. Japanese are also buying or starting businesses here.9. The special tradition in Hawaii includes______.A. giving visitors a lei of beautiful fresh flowers.B. Men wear bright flowered shirtsC. Women often wear long flowered dressesD. All of the above.10.

Some big sugar and pineapple companies have moved to PhilippinesC. Japanese are buying or starting in Hawaii nowD. The families of the first people came from Europe own the important banks and companies(D)Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well butusually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (⾳节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.13. The writer thinks that _____.A. choose a good dictionary, and you'll be successful in learning EnglishB. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn EnglishC. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properlyD. using dictionaries very often can't help to improve writing14. When does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary in the reading?A. After the first readingB. At the end of the readingC.D uring the first readingD. At the beginning of the reading15. This passage mainly tells us _____.A. that students shouldn't use small two-language dictionariesB. what were the defects of small two-language dictionariesC. why students should use large college edition dictionariesD. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it16. Which is not mentioned in this passage?A. How to make good use of a dictionary.B. How to improve spoken English.C. When to use a dictionary.D. How to practise reading fast.(E)Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain,love,and some other experiences:We parted here; My parents met here;I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty,but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always likedstanding on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house,my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅)on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew, and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost,I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family,my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, becauseI want to hear her say my name,which reminds me I'm home.17. Why does the author call her parents' bed her “safe zone”(Paragraph 3)?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D. Her parents always play together with her there.18.What can be learned from the passage?A. The old furniture is still in the author's first bedroom.B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.19. Sometimes when she feels lost,the author will ________.A. open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom20. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D.

Reading comprehension 40%Passage oneAs supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw material for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the productive performance of agriculture is even more important than this, because in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of industrial goods or of other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income of a nation is the number of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world, more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in Western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States. In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the productive performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it works. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is reasonable to begin with a consideration of its market structure.1. This passage is most probably part of .A) a news item B) an advertisement C) a lecture D) an article2. What is most important to agriculture is .A) its productive performanceB) the per capita income of farmersC) the amount of food it producesD) the production of industrial goods3. The word “this” (line 4) refers to .A) the productivity of farmersB) the provision of food and raw materialsC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole4. The performance of farmers essentially determines .A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricultureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy5. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of .A) the market structure of American agricultureB) the structure of American farming populationC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculturePassage twoIn ancient time the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing students for the doctor’s degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and development of modern industry. A room full of students for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To set an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.6. In the Middle Ages students .A) took objective tests B) were timed by electric clocksC) specialized in one subject D) seldom took written exams7. Nowadays a student working for the doctor’s degree .A) has to take a kind of oral examinationB) must ask a number of questionsC) has to write a poemD) must take an advanced examination8. According to Paragraph 3 , which of the following is true.A) Written examinations were not heard of before 1900.B) The development of modern industry resulted from the increase in populationC) A group of workers of an automobile factory are taking a written examinationD) Modern examinations are mainly set in written form and taken in a limited amount of time.9. The kind of exam where students must select answers is .A) personal B) spoken C) objective D) written10. It may be concluded that examinations .A) should test only opinions B) have changed since the Middle AgesC) should always be written D) are also given in factoriesPassage threeLong after the 1998 World Cup was won,disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing(裁判)decisions that denied victory to their team . A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛)involving four youth teams . Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods’of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail, Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident, When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum(最佳的)distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed for errors came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA , football’s international ruling body , wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup , it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance , rather than rushing to keep up with the ball , the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.11. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to .A) review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB) analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC) set a standard for football refereeingD) reexamine the rules for football refereeing12. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental match was .A) slightly above average B) higher than in the 1998 World CupC) quite unexpected D) as high as in a standard match13. The findings of the experiment show that .A) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB) the farther the referee is from the incident ,the fewer the errorsC) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occurD) errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot14. The word “officials”(Line 2, para. 4)most probably refers to .A) the researchers involved in the experimentB) the inspectors of the football tournamentC) the referees of the football tournamentD) the observers at the site of the experiment15. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A) The ideal retirement age of an experienced football referee is 45.B) Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C) A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.D) An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.TranslationChinese to English1.他希望能够给予她比现在更多的帮助。

Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location.You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF (= on the floor),or LOL (= laughing out loud),or combing the two into ROTFL (= rolling on the floor laughing).And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (= got to go)or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the “shift”key and capitals.Punctuation (标点)is going, too.4.Many people talk on the Internet ______.A.by sending short emailsB.by using a particular short form of EnglishC.by using peculiar English words and expressionsD.in a funny way5.In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet ______.A.you have to speak fast and fluentlyB.you should speak with wit and humorC.you have to express your ideas in a brief wayD.one should pay much attention to the accuracy of words6.If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L,it means______.A.the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fineB.you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New YorkC.you are talking to 17 girls who are from New YorkD.the person who you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl7.To save time on the Internet, ______.A.some people leave their letters in the dustbinB.some people never use “shift”in their writingC.many people leave the capital and punctuationD.people seldom use capital letters or punctuationCThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible months.It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals.Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals.They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years.Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed.As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future.They might cover five years or more.Life is not a static thing.We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.8.Our long-term goals mean a lot______.A.if we complete our short-range goalsB.if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC.if we write down the datesD.if we put forward some plans9.New short-term goals are build upon______.A.two yearsB.long-term goalsC.current activities D .the goals that have been completed10.When we complete each step of our goals, ______.Awe will win final successB.we are overwhelmedC.we should build up confidence of successD.we should strong desire for setting new goals四、翻译句子(每题5分, 共25分)1、接受这份工作就得经常在周末上班, 但约翰并不在意。

Equipment of the same type has to be in use at both the sending and receiving ends.Operation of the equipment is simple and in the more sophisticated models loading is automatic; the originals to be transmitted are stacked in a loading tray and, after making telephone contact with the recipient, the operator presses the start button and the copies are reproduced automatically at the recipient’s machine.
