Why do men die earlier than women? 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 their hearts 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.

55. The text mainly talks about ________.

A. men’s heart cells                        B. women’s ageing process

C. the gender difference                     D. hearts and long life

56. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________.

A. women have more cells than men when they are born

B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat

C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age

D. women never lose their pumping power with age

57. If you want to live longer, you should ________.

A. enable your heart to beat much faster      

B. find out the reason for ageing

C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy 

D. prevent your cells from being lost

58. We can know from the passage that ________.

A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out

B. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells

C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss

D. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20

 

C

Believe it or not, optical illusion(錯(cuò)覺) can cut highway crashes.

Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.

Now the American Automobile Association Foundation(基金會(huì)) for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.

Excessive (過多的) speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (危險(xiǎn)) are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.

Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially(起初) cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.

Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

59. The passage mainly discusses ________.

A. a new way of highway speed control

B. a new pattern for painting highways

C. a new way of training drivers

D. a new type of optical illusion

60. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that ________.

A. they should avoid speed-related hazards

B. they are driving in the wrong lane

C. they should slow down their speed

D. they are coming near to the speed limit

61. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ________.

A. can keep drivers awake     B. can cut road accidents in half

C. will look more attractive   D. will have a longer effect on drivers

62. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________.

A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas

B. change the road signs across the country

C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons

D. repeat the Japanese road patterns

 

D

Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible. Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy. For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessed. As a member of that group, you would likely inherit that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself, fearing that your investment (投資)would not pay off. Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not inherently talented would probably be a major obstacle(障礙) to investing your energy in your dream.

On the other hand, if you found a way to release that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the likelihood of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas, dreams, and visions we carry within is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market. And in both cases, belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something. One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think. There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in, such as passion, feeling, and sense. Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will work.

In the same way, we can learn to trust our heart’s desires and our sense to guide us, questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.

63. We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that        .

A. our belief is not reliable.   

B. belief is an obstacle to our success.

C. belief is not so important in our success.   

D. our belief determines our success in some way.

64. According to the passage, if a family of origin has passion for literature, the members of the family will probably        .

A. teach literature                                  B. hate literature 

C. write poems                                    D. enter the field of literature

65. We can put our faith in the following things of success except        .

A. passion          B. feeling                  C. sense              D. stock market

66. The purpose of the author is        .

A. to teach us a lesson       

B. to give us some useful suggestions

C. to tell us that our belief is not reliable  

D. to encourage us to invest in the stock market

 

E

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

67. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” in the second parapraph means “_______”.

       A. have a good taste with social life            B. make others unhappy

       C. tend to scold others openly                            D. enjoy the pleasure of life

68. We can conclude from the passage that _______.

A. we should pity all such unhappy people

       B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life

       C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness

       D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons

69. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.

       A. prevent any communication with them

       B. show no respect and politeness to them

       C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects

       D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

70. In this passage, the writer mainly _______.

A. describes two types of people

B. laughs at the unhappy people

C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness

D. tells people how to be happy in life

35.C[spot指“發(fā)現(xiàn)很難發(fā)現(xiàn)的東西或突然看見某物”,符合語境,因?yàn)槟莻(gè)箱子在柜臺(tái)下面本來就很難發(fā)現(xiàn)。]

36.C[這句話中that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句是clerk看到a box后所意識(shí)到的,根據(jù)上下句的邏輯關(guān)系可知選C。]

37.A[根據(jù)句意判斷這一空所填的詞與mail有關(guān),由上文可知圣誕樹是郵寄的,所以這里指的是“圣誕節(jié)期間不送包裹”。]

38.D[package指的是“(裝樹干的)包裹”符合文章的意思。另外,該句最后一個(gè)單詞也是package,由此提示可知選D。]

39.A[根據(jù)后面的“he ended up sharing a table”可判斷,這個(gè)酒吧當(dāng)時(shí)人很多,擁擠不堪(crowded)。酒吧小或者喧鬧了都可能不會(huì)造成sharing a table,因此B、C不合適。Normal指“正常的”,不符合語境。]

40.D[郵遞員與這兩個(gè)同來酒吧的客人素相識(shí),只能說他們是共用一張餐桌的伙伴(companions)。]

41.A[在西方的圣誕節(jié),圣誕老人會(huì)送給人們禮物,郵遞員這一傳統(tǒng),把為客戶運(yùn)送郵件和圣誕老人送禮物聯(lián)系起來,鼓勵(lì)他們真正地做一回圣誕老人,所以只有really合理。]

42.B[根據(jù)“and the two walked to the mail room to 48  the package”可知那個(gè)人同意了運(yùn)送樹干,故選B。]

43.A[根據(jù)前面的句子可知,此人和郵遞員一起去郵局的郵件寄存間去取包裹,故用fetch。]

44.C[try to do sth.表示“盡力做某事”,這句話的意思是“在Mannheim的家里,我們忙著盡力想辦法把樹攢一起。”第一段的panic可與此處照應(yīng),因?yàn)轶@慌,所以現(xiàn)在盡力想辦法。]

45.D[come across/ come upon+sb. /sth.“偶然遇到”;come back to“回到(主題、想法)上來”;come up with“想出(主意、辦法),提出(方案等)”。此空后面有solution,只有come up with與其搭配合適。]

46.B[when在這里用作連詞,意思是“正在這(那)時(shí)”,when前面的句子的時(shí)態(tài)一般為進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)或完成時(shí)態(tài)。其余三項(xiàng)無此用法。]

47.A[由上文可知,這個(gè)箱子正是作者等待的盛樹干的硬紙盒,樹干很長(zhǎng),所以可推知箱子也很長(zhǎng)很苗條。Slim指“苗條的,修長(zhǎng)的”。Heavy指“重的”,假樹干不會(huì)很重,可以排除。]

48.A[邀請(qǐng)與圣誕前夜陌生人要回家之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,表示雖然邀請(qǐng)了,但是他不能答應(yīng)請(qǐng)求。]

49.C[當(dāng)時(shí)已經(jīng)是圣誕節(jié)期間,人人都在準(zhǔn)備過節(jié),所以陌生人把包裹交給我們后匆匆趕回了家。In a hurry“匆匆忙忙地”;in the way“當(dāng)?shù),礙事”;in surprise“吃驚地”;in time“及時(shí)”。]

50.A[根據(jù)句意,小男孩的眼睛亮起來了,是因?yàn)樗吹搅四澄,at the sight of sth.表示“看到某物”,故選A。]

【答案與解析】本文講的是大學(xué)入學(xué)考試(高考)的一些規(guī)則。

51. D。細(xì)節(jié)題。由第一條最后一句The examination takes place at the same time in different states.是“全國(guó)性”的考試。

52. B。推斷題。由第二段可知無論參加哪科考試都要帶準(zhǔn)考證,考數(shù)學(xué)也應(yīng)如此。

53. C。推斷題。假如你很早的完成了試題并且想得到一個(gè)好的分?jǐn)?shù),我們通常的做法是要仔細(xì)檢查。在解答此題的時(shí)候,可以使用排除法。

54. C。細(xì)節(jié)題。由第八段可知。

55 D 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第 1 段的第 2 句 …the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age 和第 2 段中的 women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age 及全文內(nèi)容可知,本題的正確答案選 D。

56. C 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第 5 段的第 1 句 What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells 可知,本題的正確答案選 C。

57. C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的第 1 句 The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise 及文章主題可知,本題的正確答案選 C。

58. B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第 2 段中的 The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart 可推知,本題的正確答案選B。

為了控制車速,減少交通事故,美國(guó)決定在公路上畫人字形標(biāo)志。

59. A。主旨題。通讀全文,我們可以知道,在高速公路上畫各種線是為了讓司機(jī)覺得車速過快,從而達(dá)到控制車速的目的。

60. C。細(xì)節(jié)題。由But stripes, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.可知C項(xiàng)正確。

61. D推斷題。由最后兩段對(duì)比可知,人字形線比直線、平等線對(duì)控制車速有更長(zhǎng)久的影響。

62. A。細(xì)節(jié)題。 根據(jù)第三段paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country,可知他們?cè)诰奶暨x的幾條路上試驗(yàn)日本的模式。

63.D   64.D    65.D   66.B

67. B。詞義猜測(cè)題。從該短語后的…offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere 可以猜出 “sour the pleasure of society” 的正確含義。

68. C。判斷題。從第 2 段中倒數(shù)第 2 句話The habit may be strong, but it may be cured可以判斷出人們可以改變不幸福的脾性。

69. A。判斷題。從第 3 段中的倒數(shù)第 2 句話If they do not(change this bad habit), it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接觸) with them 可以看出作者的態(tài)度。

70. C。主旨題。本文主要講的是那些感覺不幸福的人處處冒犯別人,若長(zhǎng)期以往,則只能處于被孤立的境地,所以他們應(yīng)改變自己的習(xí)慣。

W: Manchester is one of the most important cities in Britain, isn’t it?

M: Yes, it is, although it is different from cities like London, Edinburgh and Cardiff in terms of its size and population.

(Text 2)

W: I can’t decide whether to buy a new car or try to find a second-hand one.

M: If you buy a new one, you’ll probably save money in the long run.

(Text 3)

W: New City Railway Station.

M: Good evening. Could you tell me the time of the last train to London, please?

M: Thank you very much.

(Text 4)

W: Professor Bates, good evening. My name’s Susan Grely. I’m with the local newspaper.

(Text 6)

M: Hello. May I please speak to Larry?

W: I’m afraid Larry isn’t here right now. Can I take a message?

M: Yes. This is his friend Bob calling. Would you please ask Larry to bring a few bottles of orange to the part tonight?

W: OK. Just a minute. I’m writing this down. “Bob called. You should bring a few bottles of orange to the party tonight.” Is that it?

W: I like that picture you put up on the wall yesterday.

M: Oh, thank you. It’s a photograph that I took on my vacation last year.

W: You took it yourself? I didn’t know you were a photographer.

M: Oh, yes, I’ve been taking pictures for years.

W: That sounds interesting. Do you have any more of your pictures here? And may I see them?

M: Yes, certainly. Some of them are faces, just faces of people who I see when I’m walking around.

W: Do you let them know that you’re taking pictures of them?

M: I try not to. I don’t like pictures of people who sit or stand for the camera. I like people who are going about their business without knowing the camera is there.

W: I suppose you need a lot of equipment. How many cameras do you have?

M: Well, I have a dozen of them, but I use two of them more than the others.

(Text 8)

W: Come on. You really must think of the future.

M: I’ll tell you what. I’d like to be a doctor.

W: Well, you should think very seriously about that. It means a lot of study, and then working all sorts of hours.

W: Well, then you ought to get more information about it as soon as possible.

W: Picking up my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and finding out what I should do with my flat while I’m gone.

M: The flat is really a problem. It’s hard to find another one around. What do you plan to do?

W: I’m looking for someone who will rent my house while I’m away.

(Text 10)

W: My favourite subject at school was maths. I enjoyed solving problems, and was interested in teaching methods. But most of my friends found maths very difficult, and because they thought it was a useless subject they saw no need for working at it. Maths was, in fact, the least popular subject in our class. During my last year at school our maths teacher’s child was seriously ill and she had to stay with him in the hospital for two weeks. Some students became very worried about their maths exam results. Each evening, I gave lessons to three of my friends, so that they would have a chance of passing their examination. I was patient, and got good at explaining things to people, and the lessons went well. My three friends and I all passed the examination. Their parents offered to pay me for the lessons, but I refused. I was sorry for my teacher. I did not think it would be fair if I took the money for doing my teacher’s job.
