A．She is a unique womanC．She is going to retireB．She was once divorcedD．She has many children41．The author mentions Colleen’s example to show A．any couple can avoid marriage conflicts B．privacy within marriage should be respected C．everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage D．financial disclosure is not necessarily bad 42．Which of the following best summary this passage? A．Secret SaversC．Banking HonestyB. Love I Wat it’s WorthD．Once Bitten，Twice Shy“The word‘protection’is no longer taboo(禁忌语)”．This short sentence，uttered by French resident Nicolas Sarkozy last month，may have launched a new era in economic history．Why? or decades，Western leaders have believed that lowering trade barriers and tariffs was a natural ood．Doing so，they reasoned，would lead to greater economic efficiency and productivity，which in turn would improve human welfare．Championing free trade thus became a moral，not just an economic，cause．These leaders，of course，weren’t acting out of unselfishness．They knew their economies were the most competitive，so they’d profit most from liberalization．And developing countries feared that their economies would be swamped by superior Western productivity．Today，however，the tables have turned…though few acknowledge it．The West continues to preach free trade，but practices it less and less．Asian，meanwhile，continues to plead for special protection but practices more and more free trade .That’s why Sarkozy’s words were so important：he finally injected some honesty into the trade debates．The truth is that large parts of the West are losing faith in tree trade，though few leaders admit it．Some economists are more honest．Paul Krugman is one of the few willing to acknowledge that protectionist arguments are returning．In the short run，there will be winners and losers under free trade．This，of course，is what capitalism is all about．But more and more of these losers will be in the West，Economists in the developed world used to love quoting Jonoph Schumpeter，who said that‘creative destruction”was an essential part of capitalist growth．But they always assumed that destruction would happen over there．When Western workers began losing jobs，suddenly their leaders began to lose faitll in their principles，Things have yet to reverse completely．But there’s clearly a negative trend in a Western theory and practice .A little hypocrisy(虚伪)is not in itself a serious problem．The real problem is that Western governments continue to insist that they retain control of the key global economic and financial institutions while drifting away from global liberalization．Lock at what’s happening at the IMF(International Monetary Fund)The Europeans have demanded that t11eY keep the post of managing director．But all too often，Western officials put their own interests above everyone else’s when they dominate these global institutions .The time has therefore come for the Asians-who ore clearly the new winners in today’S global economy-to provide more intellectual leadership in supporting free trade：Sadly，they have yet to do SO．Unless Asians speak out，however，there’S a real danger that Adam Smith’S principles，which have brought SO much good to the world，could gradually die．And that would leave all of US，worse off,in one way or another .43．It can be inferred that“protection”(Line 1，Para．1)meansA improving economic efficiencyB．ending the free-trade practiceC．10wering moral standardD．raisingtradetariffs44．The Western leaders preach free trade becauseA．it is beneficial to their economiesB．it is supported by developing countriesC．it makes them keep faith in their principlesD．it is advocated by Joseph Schumpeter and Adam45．By“the tables have turned”(Line 3-4，Para．2)theA．the Western leaders have turned self-centered Smith author implies thatB．the Asian leaders have become advocates of free tradeC．the developed economies have turned less competitiveD．the developing economies have become more independent46．The Western economies used to like the idea of “creative destruction’’because itA．set a long-term rather than short-turn goalB．was an essential part of capitalist developmentC．contained a positive rather than negative mentalityD．was meant to be the destruction of developing economies47．The author uses“IMF’’was an example to illustrate the point thatA．European leaders are reluctant to admit they are hypocriticalB．there is an inconsistency between Western theory and practiceC．global institutions are not being led by true globalization advocatesD．European countries’interests are being ignored by economic leaders48．Which of the following is true about Asians?A．Asians have to speak out the protectionB．Asians have demand that they keep the post of managersC．Asians succeed in today’S global economyD．Asians succeed by Adam Smith’S principlesNames have gained increasing importance in the competitive world of higher education．As colleges strive for market share，they are looking for names that proj ect the image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make．Trenton．State College，for example，became the College of New Jersey nine years ago when it began raising admissions standards and appealing to studentsfrom throughout the state．“All I hear in higher education is，‘Brand，brand，brand’said Tim Westerbeck，who specializes in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne，a marketing firm based in Chicago that works with universities and other nonprofit organizations．“There has been a sea change over the last l 0 years．Marketing used to be almost a dirty word in higher education．”Not all efforts at name changes are successful，of course．In 1997，the New School for Social Research became New School University to reflect its growth into a collection of eight colleges，offering a list of maj ors that includes psychology，music，urban studies and management．But New Yorkers continued to call it the New Sch001．Now，after spending arl undisclosed sum on an online survey and a marketing consultant’s creation of“haming structures．’’“brand architecture’’and“identity systems．’’the university hascome up with a new name：the New Sch001．Beginning Monday，it will adopt new logon(标识)，banners，business cards and even new names for the individual colleges，all to include the words“the New Sch001．’’Changes in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived．In altering its name from Cal State．Hayward，to Cal State，East Bay，the university hoped to project its expanding role in two mostly suburban countries east of San Francisco．The University of Southern Colorado，a state institution，became Colorado State University at Pucblo two years ago，hoping to highlight many internal changes，including offering more graduate programs and setting higher admissions standards．Beaver College turned itself into Arcadia University in 2001 for several reasons：to break the connection with its past asa women’s college，to promote its growth into a full-fledged(完全成熟旳)university and officials acknowledged，to eliminate some jokes about the college’s old name on late-night television and‘'morning ZOO”radio shows．Many college officials said changing a name and image could produce substantial results．At Arcadia，in addition to the rise in applications，the average students’test score has increased by 60points，Juli Roebeck，arl Arcadia spokeswoman said．49．which of the following is NOT the reason for colleges to change their names?A ．They prefer higher education competitionB ．They try to gain advantage in market shareC ．They want to proj ect their imageD ．They hope to make some changes50．It is implied that one ofthe most significant changes in highter education in the past decade isA．the brand．B ．the college namesC ．the concept of marketingD．list ofmajors．5 1．What happened to New School for Social Research?A．It is renamed by New YorkersB．It Offers a list ofbooksC．It contains management and MBA courseD．Its new name is not

that the universityA ．is perceived by the societyB．hopes to expand its influenceC．prefers to reform its reaching programsD．expects to enlarge its campus54．According to the spokeswoman the name change of Beaver CollegeA ．turns out very successfulB．fails to attain its goalC．has eliminated some jokesD．has trlsformed its statusIt looked just like another aircraft from the outside The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964．But appearances were deceptive and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their livesInside the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel．Heavily padded(填塞) from floor to ceiling it looked a bit strange．There were almost no windows，but lights along the padded walls illuminated it．Most of the seats had been taken out apart from a few at the back where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of fear .For 12 months，science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency．the challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions .For the next two hours the flight resembled that of an enornlous bird which had lose its reason，shooting upwardstowards the heavens before rushing towards Earth．The invention was to Achieve weightlessness for a few seconds .The aircraft took off smoothly enough．But any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45 degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds．Then the engines cut out and we became weightless．Everything become confused and left or right．Up or down no longer had any meaning．after ten seconds of flee fall descent the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive．The return of gravity was less immediate than its loss．but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with a bumpEach time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless．A new team conduct it experience．First it was the Dutch who wanted to discover how it is that cats always land on their feet．then the German team who conducted a successful experiment on a traditional building method to see if could be used for building a further space station．the Americans had 3．11 idea to create solar sails that could be used by satellitesAfter two hours of going up and down in the lane doing their experiments，the predominate feeling was one of excitement rather than sickness．Most of the students thought it was unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat .55．what did the writer say about the plane?A ．Ithadno seats．B．It was painted whiteC．It had no windowsD．The outside was misleading．5 6．according to the writer，how did the young scientists feel before the flight?A．sickB．keenC．nervousD．impatient57．According to the passage，what can be concluded about European Space Agency?A．It produces air-planesB．It sends invitationsC．It trains students from across the continentsD．It conducts imaginative experiments58．what did the pilot do with the plane after it took off?A．He quickly climbed and then stopped the enginesB．He climbed and them made the plane fall slowly．C．He took off normally and then cut the engines for 20 secondsD．He climbed and then made the plane turn over59．Acoording to the passage，the purpose ofbeing weightless was toA．see what conditions bare like in spaceB．prepare the youngC．show thejudges of the competition what they could doD ．make the teams try out their ideas60．this passage was written toA．encourage young people to take up scienceB．describe the process of a scientific competitionC．show scientists what young people can doD．report

As long as pubis awareness remains so low, the political measures required to deal will the potentially disastrous consequences are unlikely to come about.Over 80 percent of the people interviewed in the Chinchilla Survey were unable to indicate any of the effects of a worldwide rise in temperature. Even more disturbing was the very small proportion of people interviewed (7. 4 percent) who felt that their lives would be directly affected by global warming during the next20) years.This indifference is in sharp contrast to be concerns voiced by the team of professionals who conducted the Survey. Team leader Professor Ernest Wong stated that we should expect to experience significant lifestyle changes as a result of the effects of global warming. In detailing the likely effects, Professor Wong emphasised that the climatic changes caused by rise in global temperature of only 1C would result in enormous changes.Primary among these changes would be the rise in sea level as a result of the melting of the polar icecaps. The consequent30-cencimetrerise in sea levels would have disastrous consequences for lowlying coastal areas. The very existence of countries such as Bangladesh would be threatened. Indeed, few coastal cities would entirely escape sever flooding and damageAlthough considerable debate surrounds the accuracy of Professor wrong's predictions those who share his pessimistic prediction insist that governments must respond to this challengeby investing in coastal defence.Even inland areas will not be able to avoid the consequences of global warming. Changes in the rainfall pattern are likely to result flooding and dsertification, both of which will influenceagriculture throughout the world.In a recent interview, Professor Wong illustrated these points with dramatic effect. Chinchilla itself, a medium-sized provincial city at the centre of one of the country's major ricegrowing areas, would, he claimed, be profoundly affected. Although, given its height and inland location, the city would not suffer front coastal flooding, the possible reduction in the rainfall would endanger theregion's economy.In concluding his interview, Professor Wong left his audience in no doubt about the urgency of the problem. "Unless we plan for the future, we will not see the necessary mobilisation of forces at local, regional, national, and international level that are essentialto face this issue, the issue of the 21st century."36. Who is well aware of the consequences of global warming?A. The government.B. The public.C. The experts.D. Both A and C37. Professor Wong called for _______.A. awareness at all levels to effectively face global warmingB. people's efforts to stop global warmingC. dams being built along the coastsD. people's changing their lifestyle right away38. It seems that _______ will not suffer as a result of globalwarming.A. coastal citiesB. inland places.C. no placesD. island countries39. The best title for this passage would be.A. Global Warming, an issue Worth Serious ConsiderationB. Global Warming and FloodingC. Global Warming and AgricultureD. Global Warming and its Effect on EconomyPassage 2Researchers have recently found a connection between diseases and stressful situations. To test this theory, psychologists are trying to find a link between the brain and the immune system.The immune system in our bodies fights the bacteria and viruses which cause disease. Therefore, whether or not we are likely to get various diseases depends on how well our immune systemworks. Biologists used to think that the immune system was a separate, independent part of our bodies. Recently, however, they have found that our brain can affect our immune system. This discovery indicates that there may be a connection between emotional factors, such as stress or depression, and illness.Although many doctors in the past suspected a connection between emotional factor and disease, they had no proof. Scientists have only recently discovered how the brain and the immune system function. Before this, no one could see a link between them. As a result, medical science never seriously considered the idea that psychological factors could causedisease.Several recent studies showed a connection between stress and illness. For example, researchers went to an American military school to study the students. They found that the sick students there had a lot of academic pressure and wanted to achieve, but they were not very good students, in a similar study, researchers studied a group of student nurses and found that the nurses who developed cold sores were the ones who described themselves asgeneral)y unhappy people.In addition to these results, which support their theory, researchers are also looking for proof that stress can damage the immune system. Researchers studied recently bereaved people, i.e. people whose loved ones have just died, because they are more likely to become ill or die. By examining the immune system of discovery, they examined some white blood cells which are an important part of the immune system. They were not functioning properly The fact that they were not working correctly indicates that severe psychological stress, such as a loved one's death, may damage an important part of our immune system.There is still no positive proof of a connection between the immune system and psychological factors. Researchers also say that the results of the studies on bereaved people could have a different explanation. For example, bereaved people often sleep and eat less than normal, or may drink alcohol or take medication. These factors can also affect the immune system. More research is needed co clearly establish the connection between the immune system and psychological factors.40. The study on the military school students indicated that_______.A. life in the school was very stressfulB. disease could be caused by psychological factorsC. the good students were likely to f311 illD. stress often made students unhappy41. The immune system _______.A. used to be unconnected with the brainB. causes a lot of stress to peopleC. can be affected by emotional factorsD. functions independently42. In the past, many doctors _______.A. never thought of any possible link between stress and illnessB. hardly considered emotional factors when dealing with apatientC. discovered that the brain and the immune system functionedindependentlyD. found that diseases were caused by psychological factors43. The study of recently bereaved people shows that _______.A. stress is directly linked with illnessB. bereaved people should control their motions properlyC. white blood cells are an important part of the immune systemD. damage can be done to the immune system by too muchstress44. Which of the following is NOT true according co the passage?A. Unhappiness may cause disease.B. Drinking alcohol may cause damage to the immune system.C. Too much sorrow is harmful to the immune system.D. Psychological stress leads naturally to the damage of theimmune system.Passage 3Some years ago, the theory was popular that after the age of about 40. the average researcher began losing his creativity. The chance of his making a major discovery was believed to drop off sharply. Hence, there really wasn't much point in encouraging aman of 45 or 50 to do research .In recent years, however, this theory has fallen into wide disrepute. Companies find that many researchers continue to be highly productive throughout their careers. There is every reason to allow these men to continue their pioneering work.May men can be of greatest service to a company by staying round. in the laboratory. A single outstanding discovery may have a far greater impact on the company's profit picture five years hence chan the activities of even the most capable administrator. It is simply, good sense-and good economics-to allow qualified researchers to continue their work. Granting these menmaximum freedom to explore their scientific ideas is alsoevidently good sense.Companies are also convinced that the traditional standards in establishing salaries are not completely valid. In former years, the amount of a man's salary was determined primarily by the size of his annual budget On this basis, the researcher-however brilliant-who had perhaps one assistant and never spent much money made an extremely poor showing. Companies now realize that the two very important criteria that must also be considered are a man's actual contributions to the company and his creativepotential .In today's era of scientific manpower shortage, companies have more reason than ever to encourage scientists to do the work forwhich they are most qualified. They also have greater reason than ever to pro-vide within the laboratory the environment in which the creative processes of research can be carried out mosteffectively.45. Some years ago, a company would employ a researcher_______.A. who was creativeB. who was under the age of 45 or 50C. who began to be creative after the ago 45 or 50D. both A and B46. According to the author, a productive researcher _______.A. is more valuable chan the most capable administratorB. is as good as the most capable adminstr3torC. should be paid n20re as he becomes olderD. will become less creative when he gets older47.A company now pays a researcher according to ________.A. his creative potentialB. his contributions to the companyC. how many inventions he madeD. both A and B48. formerly, the size of a researcher's salary was mainlydetermined by _______.A. how creative he wasB. how much he spent annuallyC. how long lie stayed in the company.D. how many assistants he had49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage_______.A. There are more researchers now so that companies canchoose the most creative.B. A researcher has more assistants than a researcher did someyears ago .C. There are fewer researchers now, so companies should valuethe most qualified all the more.D. Most researchers will lose their creative power after leavingtheir laboratories.Passage 4The energy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the careless use of the earth's resources hasbrought the whole world to the brink of disaster. The over-development of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution. more its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities, the breakup of the family, and the pollution not only of local air, but also of the earth's atmosphere. The disaster has arrived inthe form of the energy crisis.Our present situation is unlike war, revolution or depression. It is also unlike the great natural disasters of the past. Worldwide resources exploitation and energy use have brought us to a state where long-range planning is essential. What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state, which endangers the future of our country, our children ,and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss of morality and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in the land. There is a strong demand for moral revival and for some devotion that is vastenough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past it has been only in a war in defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to devotethemselves wholeheartedly.This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the otherinhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course, and to devise new methods through which the world can survive. This is a priceless opportunity.To grasp it, we need a widespread understanding of the nature of the crisis confronting us, and the world, a crisis that is no passing in-convenience, no by-product of the ambitions of theoil-producing countries, no environmentalists' mere fears, no byproduct of any present system of government. What we faces is the outcome of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed lifestyle. This new life style can now directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on an sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of lifefor the world's children and future generation.50. Which condition does the author feel has nearly destroyedour cities?A. Lack of financial planning.B. The breakup of the family.C. Natural disasters in many regions.D. The excessive growth of motor transportation.51. According to the author ,what is one example of out loss ofmorality ?A. Disregard for law .B. Lack of devotionC. Lack of cooperation.D. Exploitation of resources .52. By comparing past problems with present ones ,the authordraws attention to the _________.A. significance of this crisisB. inadequacy of governmentsC. similarity of the past to the presentD. hopelessness of the situation53. What contribution does the author feel people must nowmake?A. Search for new energy sources.B. Outlaw motor transportation.C. Accept a new lifestyle.D. Adopt a new form of government.Passage 5Stopping personal and institutional racism will benefit racial minorities and the white majority. Racism and its consequencesultimately harm everyone.Attacks against racism must take place on two levels. First, racist ideas must be attacked as incorrect. Ideas implying the inferiority of nonwhites, no matter how subtly they are stated, areinevitably used to just correct attitude towards minorities.Second, attacks must also be made on practices that-whether intended to do so or not-contribute to the subordinate status of nonwhites . This means fighting discrimination and exploitation wherever they appear and calling for positive institutional practices that will up-grade and provide opportunities for minority group members. Movements to end school and housing segregation and co put an end to discrimination in employment must once again become as important as the1960s civil rights movement. More people must join or create collective effortsagainst racism.We must not lost sight of the fact that many of the problems facing minority group members are matters affecting tens of millions of white people as well. Poverty, substandard schooling, unemployment, and poor housing are not only or even primarily minority problems. By calling for social changes, such as a reduction in economic inequality and the expansion of free or low-cost services, the difficult situation of many whites as well as minorities cam be measurably improved. At present, improvement in the economic and political position of minorities is often seen as a threat to whites. The assumption is that whites will suffer losses if nonwhites make gains in employment, education, and politics. This will continue to be a problem so tong as we believe that competition for existing resources and opportunities is part of the "natural order" . We need to begin ignoring the color line, so that all people with common wants and needs can develop strategies for change through which all can gain. The only losers should be those whose power and privilege depend on maintaining racial segregation.54. In order to stop racism _________ will be necessary.A. changes in people's ideasB. actions taken by the whitesC. collective efforts from different sidesD. All of the above55 . The author points out that changing the situation _________.A. demands greater efforts from the nonwhitesB. demands greater efforts from various institutionsC. will also benefit many white peopleD. will not affect the whites in any way56. The people with racist ideas regard more equality betweendifferent races as _________.A. fearfulB. unpracticalC. unfairD. unnecessary57. The word "segregation" ( Paragraphs 3 and 4) most probablymeans______A. povertyB. separationC. inequalityD. actionPassage 6In January 1985, when the Siena city council passed Regulation 375, a by-law which does not permit the use of private motor vehicles from the historic centre of this beautiful Tascan city, public opinion was extremely divided .The new by-law was greeted enthusiastically by a number of interest groups. Environmentalists, worried about the polluting effects of cars ; lovers of the city's medieval and Renaissance architecture, angered by the constant damage done to thepriceless monuments of the centre; and ordinary people, tired of the noise and danger caused by cars andmotorL7ikes dashing through the narrow lanes, all rejoiced.Not everyone was so happy, however. Shopkeepers were convinced that their trade would suffer. Fewer people would come into the centre, they believed, if they had to rely on public transport. They argued that deliveries would be more difficult and that the city would lose its character and become a museumwithout a heart.In response to the shopkeepers' concerns, The Siena Chamber of Commerce organized a protest demonstration. The local newspaper( part-owned by a large department store in the centre of the city)carried articles criticizing the decision while some people wrote to the city council, asking it to change its decision. Candidates standing for the elections to the city council which were to be held in December 1985 focused on a single issue: to change or maintain Regulation 375 .The elections were won by the Social Democrats, a party which had run Its election campaign largely on the issue of themaintenance of the new by-law. The law stayed in force and the use of the motor car and motor-bike was not to return to the citycentre.A survey carried out in 1987 showed that traders' earnings in the historic centre of Siena had increased by 15 percent in real terms since the new law had come into force. The local paper, which had been so hostile to Regulation 375, now proudly boasts that the centre of Siena has the safest, cleanest and quietest streets in Italy. Why, they asked in a recent newspaper article, don't the backward citizens of Rome and Florence pass the sameenlightened laws?58 . The ordinary people supported the law because ______.A. the air would be cleanB. they would be saferC. they liked thc beauty of the old architectureD. they would like to shop elsewhere59. Regulation 375 _________.A. affected the shopkeeper's businesses badlyB. was suspended at lastC. happened to have a favorable effect on the businessesD. came into Force finally in 198760. The local newspaper __________.A. felt proud that its resist3nce was successfulB. was glad to see the failure of the lawC. began, in its turn, to criticize other cities for not making similarlawsD. began to criticize the former opponents of the law61 . By saying that the city would "become a museum without aheart" ( Paragraph 3) thee opponents really meant that________A. businesses would lose a lot of moneyB. transport would not come to the city centreC. the city centre would be desertedD. the city centre would lose its life forcePassage 7The Yucatan Peninsula is the land of the Mayan Indians. This civilization invented writing chat is still unknown. They developed the arithmetic concept of zero years before Europe acquired it from the Orient, and they knew the accurate length of a year.Their earliest cities were carved from the rain forests of Guatemala. Scholars are still puzzled over the circumstances that led the Mayans to abandon cities and buildings throughout the centuries. The last great cities, built between 900 and 1200 A.D.were in northern Yucatan near Merida.The great Mayan civilization came to an end at Chichen -Itza, which is just seventy-five miles from Merida. Chichen-Itza was founded about 435 A. D. and abandoned several times before the Toltecs conquered it in the 10th century. An interesting Mayan structure is the Temple of the .Tiger. Nearby is a ball court, used for a game resembling soccer. To lose was fatal: the losing captain was beheaded anti his wife was taken as secondary wife by the victor. There are also astronomical observatory called Temple of the Warriors and the sacred wall, where cross-eyed girls were tossed as a sacrifice to the rain god.62.

Which of the following accomplishments is not credited to theMayans?A. The development of the concept of zero.B. A system of writing that is still undecoded.C.

Distracted by her phone, she failed to notice the open manhole (下水道窨井) in her path, and plunged into it, taking an unprepared bath of raw sewage along with receiving moderate injuries. Longueira called the dive “really gross, shocking and scary.”It’s not all Longueira’s fault. The manhole shouldn’t have been left uncovered and unattended, and no warning signs or hazard cones had been set Protection (DEP), who was preparing to flush the sewage, helped her out, and the department later issued a formal apology for the incident.Nonetheless, observers are harshly divided over who is to blame here. The DEP is certainly at fault for failing t secure the manhole, but to what extent should the girl be held accountable for failure to be aware of her surroundings? If she had stepped into traffic and been hit by a car, would her reaction (that is: anger and a potential lawsuit) be any different?Detachment from one’s environment due to electronic gadgets is a growing problem-and a hazardous one. The government is even trying to get involved, with multiple laws on the books across the country outlawing cell phone use and text messaging while operating a motor vehicle in the wake of serious accidents involving distracted drivers. New York Senator Kruger even tried to criminalize the use of handheld devices (including phones, music players, and game players) by pedestrians while they are crossing streets in major New York cities, due to concerns over the number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents.Following a substantial outcry, that legislation appears never to have been formally introduced. But did Kruger have a point?What interested me, at least, is the end of the story above that Longueira lost a shoe in the sewage. But since other things are not reported as lost, I’m guessing she appears to havemanaged to keep her grip on her phone during the accident.31. By “It was an accident waiting to happen”, New York’s WCBS meant that .A. the accident should have been avoidableB. this kind of accidents happen frequentlyC. somebody was glad to see what would happenD. an open manhole is sure a trap for careless pedestrians32. When the girl fell into the open manhole, she .A. was seriously hurtB. was frightenedC. took a bath in the raw sewageD. cried help to the DEP worker33. According to the author, who was to blame for the accident?A. The girl herselfB. The DEP workerC. Both of themD. Nobody34. According to the passage, which of the following is illegal in the U.S.?A. Talking on a cell phone while drivingB. Text messaging while walking across a streetC. Operating music players while drivingD. Operating game players while walking across a street35. The phrase “in the wake of” (Para.5) is closest in meaning to “ ”A. in view ofB. on condition ofC. as far asD. with regard to36. The author found it funny that the girl had .A. lost a shoe in the sewage in the accidentB. reported nothing lost after the accidentC. got a firm hold of her phone during the accidentD. managed to keep herself upright in the manholePassage TwoAccording to a study, intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting. This has shed new light on brain food. This finding might also help explain the obesity epidemic of a society in which people often sit.Researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory, attention, and alert tests on the computer. After the sessions, the participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased.Though the study involved a very small number of participants, the results were stark. The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories or 29.4 percent more than the couch potatoes. Those who had summarized a text consumed 203 more calories than the resting group.Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work cause much bigger fluctuations in glucose (葡萄糖) levels than rest periods, perhaps owing to the stress of thinking.The researchers figure the body reacts to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose-the brain’s fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and is supplied to the brain via the bloodstream. The brain cannot make glucose and so needs a constant supply. Brain cells need twice as much energy as other cells in the body.Without exercise to balance the added intake, however, such “brain food” is probably not smart. Various studies in animals have shown that consuming fewer calories overall leads to sharper brains and longer life, and most researchers agree that the findings apply, in general, to humans.And, of course, eating more can make you fat.“Caloric overcompensation following intellectual work, combined with the fa ct that we are less physically active when doing intellectual tasks, could contribute to the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries,” said lead researcher Jean-Philippe Chaput at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada. “This is a factor that should not be ignored, considering that more and more people hold jobs of an intellectual nature,” the researcher concluded.37. The passage mainly tells us that .A. consuming fewer calories can lead to sharper brainsB. thinking consumed more calories than restingC. resting more can make people fatD. brain cells need more energy than other cells in the body38. It is implied that to avoid obesity, people who have to sit long should .A. think more and eat lessB. increase the intake of vitaminsC. skip some mealsD. eat less potatoes39. The word “stark” in the 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”A. negativeB. obscureC. absoluteD. ambiguous40. According to the research, which of the following activities consumed the most calories?A. Relaxing in a sitting positionB. Reading professional booksC. Summarizing a textD. Completing tests on the computer41. According to the passage, eating less may make people .A. smarterB. less intelligentC. more emotionalD. live a shorter life42. One of the reasons for the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries is that in these countries .A. people take different exercisesB. fewer people watch their weightC. fewer people hold physical jobsD. foods are much cheaperPassage threeOne of the simple pleasures of a lazy summer day is to be able to enjoy a refreshing slice of watermelon either at the beach, at a picnic, or fresh from the farmer’s market. Delicious and nutritious, watermelon is one of those guilt-free foods we can all enjoy: one cup of watermelon packs only about 50 calories! Watermelons are not only cooling treats for when the mercury starts to rise; they are also loaded with healthy nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, lycopene (番茄红素)，and etc. Vitamins A and C and lycopene are antioxidants, which are substances that work to help get rid of the harmful effects of substances.Research has suggested that a diet high in fruits and vegetables that have plenty of antioxidants can reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers, and some other dangerousdiseases. A cup of watermelon provides 25﹪of the recommended daily value of vitamin C and 6﹪of the recommended daily value of vitamin A. Additionally, researchers have found that lycopene, a nutrient most traditionally associated with tomatoes, is found in equal or greater quantities in watermelon.Watermelons also provide significant amounts of vitamin B6 and vitamin B1, both of which are necessary for energy production. In combination with the minerals and vitamins already described, these B vitamins add to the high nutrient richness of watermelon. Due to its high water content(watermelon is 92﹪water by weight) and low calorie count, watermelon is a good choi ce to satisfy your hunger while you try to eat a healthy diet. Think of them as nature’s answer to the heavily marketed “vitamin water” craze.Beside the textured, watery flesh of the fruit, watermelon seeds are also widely eaten as a snack. They are rich in iron and protein and are often pressed for oil or roasted and seasoned.So if you are planning on dining outdoor this summer, or simply looking for a quick and convenient refreshment to serve to unexpected or reckless children, reach for watermelon. The kids will enjoy its crisp taste and messy juices, the adults will enjoy its refreshing flavors, and everyone will benefit from its nutritious value.43. We don’t feel guilt even if we eat more watermelon because .A. it is deliciousB. it is nutritiousC. it contains low caloriesD. it contains antioxidants44. The phrase “when the mercury starts to rise” (Para.1) probably means “ ”.A. in summer eveningsB. on sunny daysC. when people are thirstyD. when it is getting hot45. How many cups of watermelon can satisfy the daily need for vitamin C?A. 1B. 2C. 3D. 446. By saying “Think of them as nature’s answer to the heavily marketed” vitamin water “craze”, the author means .A. watermelon can take the place of vitaminsB. with watermelon, people don’t have to buy vitamin waterC. natural foods are much better than the manufactured onesD. the vitamin water has been over-advertised47. Watermelon seeds are often .A. fried in oilB. stored for seasonsC. prepared with spiceD. pressed before being cooked48. The best title of the passage is .A. Watermelon-the Most Enjoyable RefreshmentB. The Wonders of WatermelonC. The Nutrients in WatermelonD. Watermelon-the Best Summer Food for ChildrenPassage FourInitial voyages into space introduced questions scientists had never before considered. Could an astronaut swallow food in zero gravity? To keep things simple, astronauts on the Project Mercury ate foods squeezed out of tubes. It was like serving them baby food in a toothpaste container.But these early tube meals were flavorless, and astronauts dropped too many pounds. “Weknow that astronauts have lost weight in every American and Russian manned flight,” wrote NASA scientists Malcolm Smith in 1969. “We don’t know why.” Feeding people in space was not as easy as it looked.Floating around in space isn’t as relaxing as it might sound. Astronauts expend a lot of energy and endure extreme stresses on their bodies. Their dietary requirements are therefore different from those of their gravity-bound counterparts on Earth. For example, they need extra calcium to compensate for bone loss. “A low-salt diet helps slow the process, but there are no refrigerators in space, and salt is often used to help preserve foo ds,” says Vickie Kloeris of NASA. “We have to be very careful of that.”By the Apollo missions, NASA had developed a nutritionally balanced menu with a wide variety of options. Of course, all the items were freeze-dried or heat-treated to kill bacteria, and they didn’t look like regular food.Today, the most elaborate outer-space meals are consumed in the International Space Station (ISS), where astronauts enjoy everything from steak to chocolate cake. The ISS is a joint venture between the U.S. and Russia, and diplomatic guidelines dictate the percentage of food an astronaut must eat from each country. NASA’s food laboratory has 185 different menu items, Russia offers around 100, and when Japan sent up its first crew member in , about 30 dishes came wit h him. Due to dietary restrictions and storage issues, astronauts still can’t eat with whatever they want whenever they feel like it.In , NASA astronaut and ISS crew member Sandra Magnus became the first person to try to cook a meal in space. It took he r over an hour to cook onions and garlic in the space station’s food warmer, but she managed to create a truly delicious dish: grilled tuna(金枪鱼) in a lemon-garlic sauce-eaten from a bag, of course.49. Which of the following is true about the early space meals?A. They had to be eaten from a bag.B. They tasted better than they looked.C. They could not make eating as easy as possible.D. They were not nutritious enough for astronauts.50. It seems that astronauts’ weight loss .A. was an unusual problem among astronautsB. was what puzzled the early scientistsC. caused new problems in space flightsD. drew the attention of the general public51. According to Vickie Kloeris, serving a low-salt diet in space .A. is easier said than doneB. is not absolutely necessaryC. has worked as expectedD. will be the future trend52. In the International Space Station, .A. there is enough space to store enough foods for astronautsB. there is a selection of flavored foods from a dozen countriesC. astronauts in general prefer foods from their own countriesD. astronauts’ need to eat their favorite foods can’t always be met53. It can be learned that Sandra Magnus’ cooking in space .A. left much to be desiredB. wasn’t worth the effortC. was quite satisfactoryD. has inspired the others54. The passage mainly introduces .A. the variety of food options in spaceB. the dietary need of astronauts in spaceC. the problems of living in the space stationD. the improvement of food offered in spacePassage FiveIs it possible to be both fat and fit-not just fit enough to exercise, but fit enough to live as long as someone a lot lighter? Not according to a study from the Harvard School of Public Health which looked at 115,000 nurses aged between 30 and 55. Compared with women who were both thin and active, obese(overweight) but active women had a mortality rate that was 91﹪higher. Though far better than the inactive obese (142% higher), they were still worse off than the inactive lean (5% higher). A similar picture emerged in after researchers examined 39,000 women with an average age of 54. Compared with active women of normal weight, the active but overweight were 54% more likely to develop heart disease.That’s set tled, then. Or is it? Steven Blair, a professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina, describes the official focus on obesity as an “obsession… and it’s not grounded in solid data”.Blair’s most fascinating study, in the Journal of Ame rican Medical Association in , took 2,600 people aged 60 and above, of various degrees of fatness, and tested their fitness on the exercise device, rather than asking them to quantify it themselves. This is an unusually rigorous approach, he claims. Since many rival surveys ask participants to assess their own fitness, or ignore it as a factor altogether.“There is an ‘association’ between obesity and fitness,” he agrees, “but it is not perfect. As you progress towards overweight, the percentage of individuals who are fit does go down. But here’s a shock: among classⅡobese individuals [with a body mass index between 35 and 39.9], about 40% or 45% are still fit. You simply cannot tell by looking whether someone is fit or not. When we look at these mortality rates in fat people who are fit, we see that the harmful effect of fat just disappears: their death rate during the next decade is half that of the normal weight people who are unfit.”One day-probably about a hundred years from now-this fat-but-fit question will be answered without the shadow of a doubt. In the meantime, is there anything that all the experts agree on? Oh yes: however much your body weighs, you’ll live longer if you move it around a bit.55. It can be learned that the research .A. posed a challenge to the studyB. confirmed the findings of the studyC. solved the problems left behind by the studyD. had a different way of thinking from the study56. Steven Blair probably describes the previous studies as .A. unreliableB. uncreativeC. unrealisticD. untraditional57. The major difference between Blair’s study and the previous research is that .A. Blair excluded the participants’ fitness as a factorB. Blair guessed the participants’ fitness after weighing the mC. Blair required the participants to assess their own fitnessD. Blair evaluated the participants’ fitness through physical tests58. Blair’s study proves that .A. the weight problem should be taken seriouslyB. weight and fitness are strongly connectedC. it is possible to be both fat and fitD. fat people have a higher death rate59. It can be seen from the description of these studies that the author .A. shows no preference for any researcherB. finds no agreement between the researchersC. obviously favors the Blair studyD. obviously favors the Harvard study60. The purpose of writing this passage is to .A. call on people to pay attention to weight problemB. present the different findings of various weight studiesC. compare the strength and weakness of different studiesD. offer suggestions on how to remain fit and live longerPart IV Cloze (15minutes, 15points)Directions: in this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.

A child rarely dislikes food 61 it is badly cooked. The 62 a meal is cooked and served is most important and an 63 served meal will improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child 64 he likes or dislikes a food and never 65 likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother 66 vegetables, in the child’s hearing he is 67 to copy this procedure. Take it 68 granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a 69 dislike. At meal times it is a good 70 to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as 71 as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him go on with his food; and do not 72 him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food 73 he can hurry back to his toys.

同等学历申硕考试英语（二）2022年模拟题31(总分：80.00，做题时间：180分钟)阅读1. Two years ago Japan was struck by a strong earthquake that triggered a disastrous tsunami. Now comes a sobering account of the human and environmental toll. Gretel Ehrlich, an American writer, flew to the north-east coast of the island of Honshu three months after the quake. A student of Japanese poetry and Buddhist philosophy, she was drawn to "meet those who faced the wave and survived". Readers of her book can witness the devastation through keen eyes.This stretch of coastline was described by a 17th-century poet, Basho, as the most beautiful spot in Japan. In June 2011 it was "a plain of chaos, a monstrous picture that no eye, no painting could truly capture". Roving the 1,300 kilometres (800 miles) of shattered coast, Ms. Ehrlich seeks out survivors and relays their stories. Pervasive are reports on the radiation spewing from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, reflections on human suffering and resilience, and a series of dreadful facts.More than 28,700 people died in Japan; thousands more went missing. The tsunami wave rose 38 metres (124 feet), washing away entire towns. The reactor meltdown caused "the worst maritime contamination disaster in recorded history". The energy released was 600m timesthat of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima."Three sorrows: quake, tsunami, meltdown", encapsulates the disaster. Ms. Ehrlich does not provide a comprehensive reckoning, but a set of stories. The tsunami is retold as it happens through a blog updated as a fisherman races out to sea, uploading observations from his mobile phone. Months later, corpses still surface. One mother has rented an industrial digger and ceaselessly explores the river channel searching for her child. "The sea floor is covered in debris," an old fisherman says. "If you go trolling for flatfish, you might pull out a dead friend."（分数：20.00）(1). It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.（分数：4.00）A.Honshu lies to the north-east of JapanB.the earthquake was caused by the tsunamiC.an American writer wrote a book about the disaster √D.many people have witnessed the devastation through their own eyes解析：推理题。
