More and more young women want to look beautiful. Young women’s desire to achieve the figure of a fashion model has an 36 form of expression in the problem of anorexia nervosa(神经性厌食症). Anorexia nervosa is a(n) 37 disorder which occurs largely among young girls; 38 , it is also found among 39 of the young women, and in some cases, among boys.

Anorexia nervosa is 40 starvation attitudes toward food, and distorted(扭曲的) body image.

41 they are often extremely thin, anorexic girls believe that they are fat and are 42 on dieting. Their perceptions(理解) of their own bodies are very much distorted. They do not see themselves as thin but 43 , as fat. Most 44 of anorexia lose 25 percent or more of their body fat. Anorexia also causes them to become 45 . From five to six percent of anorexics actually die from starvation.

Anorexia, which means “without food”, seems to be quite 46 among young girls, although it was 47 a problem twenty years ago. The 48 of Anorexia is not known. Researchers are trying to find out its 49 but it is related to a psychological(心理的) need. One theory is that they want to 50 becoming an adult, since starvation can 51 down physical growth and the beginning of puberty(青春期). Another theory is that anorexia is related to refusal of the mother figure or to 52 the daughter of an overly protective and controlling mother. By being anorexic, the girl s her ability to 53 at least one aspect of her own life.

In addition, researchers 54 that the problem may result in a wrong body image---the ideal of female beauty of being very 55 .

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

A

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual. The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue drapes（消毒帷帘）and lying face up on a narrow table. But no one was touching him.

Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest. At the ends of the robot’s arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, wh ich held a tiny instrument, a light and a camera. The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K. Wolf, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.

This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery（心脏搭桥）began nearly 30 years ago. “The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr. Wolf , the director of the surgery at Ohio State. The robot’s dainty fingers, no longer than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.

Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients’ chests. Instead of directly staring into a patient’s body, surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the patient.

56. In this passage, the underlined word “dainty” means ___________.

A. quick

B. weak

C. fat

D. small

57. The main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots ___________.

A. is quicker than surgery done by doctors

B. may replace surgery done by doctors

C. is a new and risky procedure

D. developed at Ohio State University

58. According to the passage, the reason that most operations require large cuts is that ___________.

A. patients have large organs

B. large cuts take less time

C. surgeons have large hands

D. large cuts cost less money

59. Based on the information in this passage, all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT___________.

A. All doctors at Ohio State develop new surgical techniques

B. Robot surgery is being developed at Ohio State

C. Robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near future

D. Many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients

B

Recognized as the largest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert runs across North Africa, covering over 3 million square miles from the Atlantic Coast to the Nile River Valley. Except for an occasional oasis（绿洲）, this vast land is mainly made up of sand, stones, and worn out mountains. The burning sun causes daytime temperatures to rise to nearly 70 degrees in the shade, and days without commonly last for years.

Paintings found on the walls of caves in the Sahara Desert suggest that a few thousand years ago, large quantities of plants grew there and covered the desert floor. Many curious and unusual insects, birds and animals got enough food that allowed them to grow and reproduce. At that time, huge river systems and many oases supported growing communities（社团，）where a large number of people lived.

Research scientists believe that the land became a desert for several reasons. For centuries people there have wandered from place to place in search of food, water, and grazing（吃草）land for their animals. These people have always considered the number of animals they have as a sign of wealth. It is considered more important to have 100 sick and starving animals than 15 healthy ones. The large herds（群）have been allowed to go freely and graze on desert plants and grass. Over time, large sections of land have been left uncovered. In addition to allowing over grazing, these people cut down whatever trees they could find and used them for firewood. The sand was unable to hold on to the great heat of the day, so nighttime temperatures often drop below freezing and nothing was left to hold the soil together.

Scientists have been studying different ways to bring back the green desert. Through research and experiments, they hope to be able to produce plants thatwill once again support the life there. Huge holes filled with much water lie under the desert surface. Scientists believe this rainwater simply flew down through the sand over hundreds of years arid collected in the big, rocky holding tanks. By making use of the sun’s power, scientists in the Sahara have made experiments in whi ch they got huge amount of electricity. This electricity was then used to operate drilling machines and pumps to pull the rainwater from the underground tanks. By drilling the hole one mile deep into the floor of the desert, one machine was able to recover more than 80 gallons of ice-cold water each second, or 288,000 gallons per hour.

Scientists have had some success turning this wasteland into useful farmland. Today the desert is dotted with huge wheat fields watered by a system of pipes that carry water from the underground tanks. Farmers have also learnt that plants grow better if seeds are planted next to stones. Studies show that stones provide protection from the sun, allowing seeds to grow in a shady and cool environment. In addition to that, greenhouses have been built to protect plants from the sunshine so that less water is needed. Another idea is to grow plants that can live on a diet of salt water, since the ocean is so near to the desert.

60. Which of the following statements is a fact presented in the passage?

A. The desert is rich in beautiful color and scenery.

B. Camels can go for days without drinking any water.

C. The Sahara will one day become a beautiful garden.

D. Large river systems once supported many communities.

61. The author of the passage provides evidences（证据）that scientists are ______.

A. pleased by the progress but do not have the money to continue

B. discouraged by the poor results of their experiments

C. hopeful about the chances of life coming back to the desert

D. troubled by the lack of water found underground

62. What is the main idea of the fourth and fifth paragraphs?

A. Animals have learnt to survive in the desert by lying next to rocks for shade.

B. Through experiments, a desert may become a food-producing land.

C. Water supply will dry up before it can be used to grow crops.

D. Saltwater seeds will grow in the desert sand.

63. Which of the following is the best summary of this passage?

A. Drilling machines help to water the desert floor and make plants and animals alive.

B. Scientists have been able to turn this large wasteland into a successful farming community.

C. So much soil has become sand that the desert will never be able to support life as it once did.

D. The desert no longer supports plenty of life, but researchers hope to change it with new scientific techniques.

COULD YOU PASS THE FITNESS TEST? DO YOU WANT TO BE A TOP FOOTBALLER? AN OL YMPIC GYMNAST? Or would the simple act of being able to catch a ball fill you with joy?

We offer tips and exercises to increase your physical confidence. And we've enlisted the help of ex-Chelsea and England footballer, GRAEME LE SAUX.

BALANCE

How long can you stand on one leg with your eyes closed before you lose your balance? Try doing this exercise and time yourself; your time is up when you open your eyes or lose your balance. For a person in their 20s, 60 seconds would be excellent ( Graeme Le Saux managed 65 seconds). For someone in their 60s, 15 seconds would be good.

Shutting your eyes can make your balance go to pieces. If you did this test with your eyes open, for example, you could probably do it four or five times as long; try it and see. The important things to concentrate on the feel of the right movement, and gymnastics is the best sport for developing overall ability. Practicing also makes a big difference : if you test yourself over a period, your times will improve considerably.

REACTION TIME

Reaction time involves using many skills: you see something, decide what to do about it, then respond with an effective movement. You can test this ability with a simple experiment.

Hold your hand out with your thumb and index finger parallel with each other, about 3 cm apart. Ask a friend to hold a 30 cm ruler upright 2 or 3 cm above your fingers. When your friend drops the ruler, see how quickly you can catch it between your thumb and index finger.

Most people catch the ruler after letting it fall 15 to 20 cm; faster than that is excellent. The test can be developed by trying it first with one hand, then the other; you should be quicker with your dominant hand.

Children have much faster reaction times these days, largely as a result of playing video games, says sports scientist, Mark Abberley.

64. The main purpose of this article is to

A. offer some tips and exercises to help you become top footballers

B. give us some advice on how to react more quickly

C. increase our physical confidence

D. test your physical fitness by doing experiments

65. According to the passage, we can infer that in doing the balance test

A. persons over 60 can't manage 15 seconds

B. 60 seconds would be excellent for a person over 30

C. your balance will never go to pieces with one eye open

D. gymnasts would never lose their balance

66. Which of the following pictures best s how the second experiment is being done?

67. In the sentence: "you should be quicker with your dominant hand", the underlined words mean___________.

A. your right hand

B. your left hand

C. the hand you use most frequently

D. your weaker hand

D

A team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, reported that middle- aged men without wives were actually twice as likely to die during a 10 — year span as men with wives. It was the kind of news that swept through offices and watering holes — and it made people feel conceited or anxious, depending on their circumstances.

Davis’s team had set out to examine the effect of various living arrangements on mortality (the number of death from a certain cause). Because of the buffering social support marriage is known to provide, Davis and her colleagues fully expected to find that men and women living alone turn out in their study population, subjects who shared living quarters with people other than a spouse(husband and wife) had the same lower survival rates (生存比例) as those who lived by themselves.

The lower survival rates for the spouseless were found primarily in men who were widowed(丧偶), separated or divorced(离婚), rather than in those who had never been married. Emotional(情感的) and social factors probably played a role in higher mortality among the spouseless men. The researchers will analyze() questionnaires that asked how frequently the men felt worried, nervous or poorly rested. But the team will also look at the causes of death; if the men without wives show higher rates of suicide( 自杀) or fatal accidents, it’s likely that emotional stress contributed to their higher mortality rate.

Davis has already discovered that the married men reported a significantly higher revel of well- being than those who weren’t married. So perhaps the explanation for their longer survival isn’t really so complicated. Because they are cared for by nurturing wives, they just plai n feel happier than the guys do. And what better reason than that for staying alive?

68. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The mortality of middle- aged men is closely related to their well - being.

B. The mortality of middle- aged men is directly proportional to their wives' survival rates.

C. The mortality of middle- aged men is inversely proportional to their divorce rates.

D. The mortality of middle- aged men is closely related to their marriage condition.

69. The news reported makes .

A. the widowers happy and the widows worried

B. the married happy and the spouseless worried

C. the divorced happy and the separated worried

D. the widowed happy and the spouse worried

70. It seems that in terms of survival rates .

A. widowed men are easier to be hurt than widowed women

B. married men are easier to be hurt than married women

C. married women are easier to be burr than married men

D. widowed women are easier to be hurt than widowed men

71. It can be predicted, while looking at the cause of death, researchers will .

A. remove certain health factors

B. consider the circumstances

C. consider racial support

D. remove certain emotional factors

Just the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques.

From computer - equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry(条目) “next”. Then another question will be randomly(任意地)selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfied with their performance, or “score” if they want to see the result. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, student's marks are official--there is no going back.

Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices( 登记处)for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day.

In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past，each examinee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.

72. Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores .

A. immediately on a central computer for scoring test papers

B. a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center worker

C. on the next day after they have taken the exam

D. immediately after the exam by means of the same computer

73. If an examinee is not satisfied fied with his performance .

A. he can admit defeat and give it up

B. he can ask the computer to give some advice

C. he can ask another chance within a few days

D. he is allowed to do it once again

74. Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that .

A. different exams can be taken in the same room

B. one doesn’t need to rush t o the registration officer for taking an exam

C. it will be much easier to pass an examination

D . one can take an exam almost at any time of the year

75. The word denied in the last sentence most probably means .

A. refused

B. allowed

C. lost

D. passed

New Socialist Countryside in the Future

With the efforts and support from the government in many aspects, a new socialist countryside will appear in China. There will be more new farmers with the basic knowledge of science and technology, laws and management. Many farming techniques will have been modernized. With the help of scientists, farmers will use the latest technologies to increase agricultural production without harming the environment. As a result, the yearly income of the farmers will be increased and their housing conditions will be improved as well. People in the new countryside will enjoy a clean, tidy and orderly environment. Besides, the government will provide free compulsory education for rural kids and also perfect medical care system for farmers.

As students, we should study hard to be well prepared for the future construction of the new socialist countryside, thus making our country more beautiful and powerful.
