Passage Three
Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short moment.
At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.
Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But When they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If you need help and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me？' Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (气馁); just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
41. Many people who first visit the United States will find that______.
A. America is a highly developed country
B. Americans are impatient and unfriendly people
C. the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble
D. American city people seem to be always in a rush

You may meet Americans who know very little about your country。 If this（1）the case, be patient with them. Unfortunately， little is taught about the cultures or customs of other countries in America schools. The United States has always been separated from older countries by the vast oceans to the East and West of the country. As a（2） Americans have not become so familiar with different cultures and other ways of doing things as is often the case in older countries. If Americans try to help you（3）something that is very familiar to you,if they mistake your country for another of thousands of kilometers away,be patient with them。 The United States has developed into a modern nation in a very short time（4）with many other countries—only about 300 years. Americans have been very busy with growth of the country， with building roads and cities, establishing free education for millions of children, and making inventions， discoveries, and developments to benefit the whole world. The Nation's attention has been on the United States,not on the world, during most of this（5）period.It is only since World War Two （1939-1945） that Americans have been more interested in other parts of the World。

第3题
Meanwhile, poorer nations have enjoyed some success in their battles against malnutrition and famine. Bat, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, it is more a case of being out of the frying pan and into the fire. The most striking example actually in the poor world comes from the Pacific islands, home of the world's most obese communities. In 1966, 14% of the men on this island were obese while 100% of men under the age of 30 in 1996 were obese.
This increase in weight has been uneven as well as fast. As a result, undernourished and overnourished people frequently live cheek by jowl (面颊). The mix can even occur within a single household. A study of families in Indonesia found that nearly 10% contained both the hungry and the fat. This is a mysterious phenomenon, but might have something to do with people of different ages being given different amounts of food to eat.
The prospect of heading off these problems is bleak. In many affected countries there are cultural factors to contend with, such as an emphasis on eating large meals together, or on food as a form. of hospitality. Moreover, there is a good measure of disbelief on the part of policymakers that such a problem could exist in their countries. Add to that reluctance on the part of governments to spend resources on promoting diet and exercise while starvation is still a real threat, and the result is a recipe for inaction. Unless something is done soon, it might not be possible to turn the clock back.
The first sentence of the passage most probably implies that ________.
A．many Americans are obsessed with the rising temperature in their bathroom
B．more people are overweighed in the United States
C．people are doing more physical exercises with the help of scales
D．youngsters become taller and healthier thanks to more activities
第4题
In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a weight problem. To
many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to
support the idea.
Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today,
yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used
machines much less and didn’t watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on
average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545
London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research
group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:
The more the men run, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount
of food they ate. Thus, those who run the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of
body fat.
11. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that ________.
A. they are too slim B. they work too hard
C. they are too fat D. they lose too much body fat
12. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, ________ will have a weight
problem.
A. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 150
13. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a weight
problem？
A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.
C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support that.
D. We don’t know because the information is not given.
14. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s
_______.
A. ate more food and had more physical activities.
B. ate less food but had more activities
C. ate less food and had less physical exercise
D. had more weight problems
15. Modern scientific researchers have reported to us that ________.
A. fat people eat less food and are less active
B. fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active
C. fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active
D. thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake

第5题
And if you ask why America is more class-bound in practice than the rest of the Western world, a large part of the reason is that our government falls down on the job of creating equal opportunity.
The failure starts early: in America, the holes in the social safety net mean that both low-income mothers and their children are all too likely to suffer from poor nutrition and receive inadequate health care. It continues once children reach school age, where they encounter a system in which the affluent send their kids to good, well-financed public schools or, if they choose, to private schools, while less-advantaged children get a far worse education.

Even though they were forced to serve in separated units, black soldiers distinguished themselves in combat. This was despite the fact the whites had long believed that blacks could neither command nor use firearms. In 1863, William Carney of the Massachusetts Colored Infantry received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in battles with the Plains Indians. Isaiah Dorman, Coster's black scout, served and died at the Little Big Horn in 1876. Henry Flipper was the first black graduate of West Point in 1877.
In World War I, 40,000 black American combat soldiers served with the French command. Neither U.S. nor British commanders would use these men. But Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, soldiers in the 369th Infantry's black “Hellfighters” were still the first Americans to win the Croix de Guerr, France's top military award.
During World War II over 600,000 black men and women served in the armed forces, including some 400,000 who served overseas. Dorie Miller, a black mess attendant in navy, was one of our first heroes in this war. At Pearl Harbor during the Japanese sneak attack, he manned a machine gun and shot down four planes. The black fighter pilots of Benjamin Davis, Jr. distinguished themselves throughout the war. They served most courageously during the Italian campaign. During the war in Vietnam, mainly because of civil rights pressures in America but also owing to the fine record of black military units, all American forces were fully integrated. Once again blacks played vital roles. And 13. 2 percent of all war deaths were of blacks, even though blacks constitute only 11 percent of all Americans. Black American soldiers continue to serve their land well.
The main idea this passage is that______.
A．black Americans made contributions in the Revolutionary War
B．black Americans have admirably served their country in at least five wars
C．black Americans suffered a larger portion of war deaths in Vietnam than did any other minorities
D．black Americans served under the French command in World War I

35. Official figures say it that the Japanese work about 1780 hours a year,
36. slightly less than Americans (1800 hours a year),though more than Germans
37. (1440). But the statistics are misleading because of they do not count 'free overtime'
38. (work that an employee is obliged to perform. but not paid for). It is being estimated
39. that one in three men who aged 30 to 40 works over 60 hours a week. Factory
40. workers arrive early and stay late, without an extra pay. Training at weekends may be
41. uncompensated. During the past 20 years of economic inactivity, many companies
42. have been replaced full-time workers with part-time ones. Regular staff who remain
43. are benefit from lifetime employment but feel obliged to work extra hours lest
44. their positions will be made temporary. Cultural factors reinforce these trends.
45. Hard work is respected as the cornerstone of Japan's post-war economic miracle.
The value of self-sacrifice puts the benefit of the group above that of the individual.

Question 37 to 46 are based on the following passage.
It's our guilty pleasure: Watching TV is the most common everyday activity, after work and sleep, in many parts of the world. Americans view five hours of TV each day, and while we know that spending so much time sitting(37)_____ can lead to obesity(肥胖症)and other disease, researchers have now quantified just how(38)_____ being a couch potato can be.
In an analysis of data from eight large(39)_____ published studies, a Harvard-led group reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association that for every two hours per day spent channel(40)_____, the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)rose 20% over 8.5 years, the risk of heart disease increased 15% over a(41)_____, and the odds of dying prematurely(42)_____ 13% during a seven-year follow-up. All of these(43)_____ are linked to a lack of physical exercise. But compared with other sedentary(久坐的)activities, like knitting, viewing TV may be especially(44)_____ at promoting unhealthy habits. For one, the sheer number of hours we pass watching TV dwarfs the time we spend on anything else. And other studies have found that watching ads for beer and popcorn may make you more likely to(45)_____ them.

第10题
Evolution is mostly to blame. It has designed mankind to cope with deprivation, not plenty. People are perfectly tuned to store energy in good years to see them through lean ones. But when bad times never come, they are stuck with that energy, stored around their expanding bellies.
Thanks to rising agricultural productivity, lean years are rarer all over the globe. Modernday Malthusians, who used to draw graphs proving that the world was shortly going to run out of food, have gone rather quiet lately. According to the UN, the number of people short of food fell from 920m in 1980 to 799m 20 years later, even though the world's population increased by 1.6 billion over the period. This is mostly a cause for celebration. Mankind has won what was, for most of his time on this planet, his biggest battle: to ensure that he and his offspring had enough to eat. But every silver lining has a cloud, and the consequence of prosperity is a new plague that brings with it a
host of interesting policy dilemmas.
As a scourge of the modern world, obesity has an image problem. It is easier to associate with Father Christmas than with the four horses of the apocalypse. But it has a good claim to lumber along beside them, for it is the world's biggest public-health issue today—the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war; the principal risk factor in diabetes; heavily implicated in cancer and other diseases. Since the World Health Organisation labelled obesity an "epidemic" in 2000, reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and fast.
Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco？ Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming (see survey) and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century's dining to excess. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds. That's why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.
The author write this passage mainly to ______.
A．bring up some warnings.
B．tell the reader some new facts.
C．discuss a solution to a problem.
D．persuade the reader to keep fit.
第11题
Art seems to appear in human history as far back as 30,000 years ago. We say the earliest cave paintings are art, but what do we mean by art？ A bone fish hook (钩) obviously required skill and creativity to make. _ 26__
For the person who crates it, art expresses feelings and ideas. _ 27 _.The feelings and ideas on each side may or may not be exactly the same. And they may be expressed in various ways.
An artistic work is intended to excite the senses, to stir (激发) the emotions of the observer. _ 28_. But art is more than an attempt by an individual to express or communicate feelings and ideas. There is also cultural patting and meaning
Artistic activities are always in part cultural. In our society, we tend to think that anything useful is not art. If the basket has a design that is not necessary to its function, we may consider tart. __29__ However, this difference is not made in other societies.
Another example is that people in different societies treat the outside of their houses differently. Most North. Americans share the value of decorating the inside of their homes with pictures. _ 30 _
So art seems to have several qualities. It expresses as well as communicates. And it also has cultural meanings.
A. But we do not call it art.
B. It may produce feelings of beauty, peace or fear.
C. For the observer, it stimulates feelings and ideas.
D. Art does not require its creators to be full-time specialists.
E. But the basket with bread on the table would probably not be taken as art.
F. But they do not share the value of painting pictures on the outside walls.
