Women are less strong than men./U That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex“ ,or, if men want to pl

13、ease them, “the fair sex“. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women s bodie

14、s really weaker7The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women s speeds are always slower than men s, but some facts are surpising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only

15、 16. The first “Tarzan“ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more seriou

16、s. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes !（分数：5.00）(1).Women are c

17、alled “the weaker sex“ because_.（分数：1.00）A.women do as much work as menB.people think women are weaker than menC.sport is easier for men than for womenD.in sport the two sexes are always together(2).Which of the following is true?（分数：1.00）A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B.Women do not r

18、un or swim in races with men.C.Famous Prime Ministers are women.D.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.(3).“That at least is what people say.“ means people（分数：1.00）A.say other things tooB.dont say this muchC.say this but may not think soD.only think this(4).What problems does sport hav

19、e?（分数：1.00）A.Some women athletes are actually men.B.Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.(5).In this passage the author implies that _.（分数：1.00）A.women are weaker than

20、men, but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are not always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than womenBPassage 2/BU(77)What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food clothing and

21、 shelter./U To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had

22、 nothing more than these which are supplied for us. (78) UWe all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies./U Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living

23、is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelte

24、r. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.（分数：5.00）(1).What we need in life is divided into _according to this article.（分数：1.00）A.the basic n

25、ecessities and luxuryB.many kinds of need such as food, clothing and housesC.four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expenseD.the basic necessities and reliable income(2).A person who gets the basic necessities must _ according to the writer.（分数：1.00）A.have a reliable i

26、ncomeB.learn how to please his managerC.finish his work ahead the timeD.get a good education(3).We all enjoy _.（分数：1.00）A.having only reliable incomeB.having reliable income and extra incomeC.having nothing more than food and clothingD.having nothing more than reliable income(4).With time going on,_

27、分数：1.00）A.a luxury may change into a need which most people want to getB.the basic needs are getting smaller and smallerC.a luxury and the basic needs can be exchangedD.the basic needs can be changed into a luxury(5).If most of the people of a country have a television, we _.（分数：1.00）A.can say the

28、 television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelterB.can say the television must be in the basic necessitiesC.cannot say the television is in the basic necessitiesD.can say every family must have oneBPassage 3/BIncreasingly, over the past ten years, peopleespecially young people

29、have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives(添加剂) and which have not been affect

30、ed by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.(79) UNatural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter./U In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it

31、with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amountbut not the qualityof foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to

32、 feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not

33、only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food ! Although a natural alternative, such

34、 as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds

35、a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.(80) UIt is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet./U In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it

36、is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantifies of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more

37、 vegetables by modem experts on “healthy eating“.（分数：5.00）(1).People have become more interested in natural foods because _.（分数：1.00）A.they are more health consciousB.they want to taste all kinds of foodsC.natural foods are more delicious than processed foodsD.they want to return to nature(2).Soil t

38、hat is rich in organic matters _.（分数：1.00）A.has had chemicals and fertilizers added to itB.contains vegetable matter that has not been consumedC.has been nourished by fertilizersD.already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals(3).Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following

39、EXCEPT that _.（分数：1.00）A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbageB.they live in very crowded conditionC.the eggs they lay lack vitaminsD.they are allowed to move about and eat freely(4).According to the passage,_.（分数：1.00）A.people need sugar to give them energyB.sugar is bad for the

40、healthC.the use of sugar is habit formingD.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful(5).The best title for this passage is _.（分数：1.00）A.People s Growing Interest in Natural FoodsB.Natural Foods and Healthy DietC.Harmful Effects of SugarD.The Importance of Fiber in Foods三、B Vocabu
