25、health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States $ 200 billion a

26、re spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million people, and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well-being.Much more interest has been shown i

27、n preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Keneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics. Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectiv

28、ely that many other authors have flowed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious that they have trained themselves to ru

29、n the 26 miles and 385 yards of the hard and tiring marathons that are sponsored all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon.Exercise has also be

30、come a major part of conversation. A1 a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, “You look like a runner; how far do you run each day?“ A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversa

31、tion turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found whenever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many peoples minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less than enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, “W

32、henever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes.“（分数：10.00）(1).The first paragraph indicated that medical workers _.（分数：2.00）A.are in great demand?B.make a lot of moneyC.are concerned with their own healthD.like sports more than ordinary people(2).In the United States, medica

33、l treatment is _.（分数：2.00）A.very effectiveB.cheapC.insufficientD.expensive(3).Aerobics is a book about _.（分数：2.00）A.medicineB.drivingC.exerciseD.marathon(4).Many people take part in marathons because they _.（分数：2.00）A.find the marathons very excitingB.love traveling all over the countryC.want to kee

34、p fitD.want to be good sportsmen(5).According to the passage, the authors tone about exercise can be described as _.（分数：2.00）A.enthusiasticB.objectiveC.optimisticD.criticalBText 2/BThe long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to an apparent abundance. Stores and shops are

35、choked with food. Rationing is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet. instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, o

36、r has it come to stay? Does it means that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect. The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests

37、 in North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britains overseas suppliers of meat, too. are offering more this year and, home production has also risen.But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefl

38、y to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have b

39、egun to fall. with the result that imported food. with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home produced variety. And now grain prices, too. are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend.The significance of these developments is n

40、ot lost on farmers. The older generations have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food. imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent above prewar levels, and the gov

41、ernment has called for an expansion to 60 per cent: but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion program is not working very well.（分数：10.00）(1).Why is there “widespread uneasiness and confusion“ about the food situation in Britain?（分数：2.00）A.The abundant food supply is

42、 not expected to last.B.Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising.C.Britain is importing less food.D.Britain will cut back on its production of food.(2).The main reason for the rise in food prices is that _.（分数：2.00）A.people are buying less foodB.imported food is driving prices higherC.domestic

43、 food production has decreasedD.the government is providing less support for agriculture(3).Why didnt the governments expansion program work very well?（分数：2.00）A.Because the farmers were uncertain about tile financial support the government guaranteed.B.Because the farmers were uncertain about the b

44、enefits of expanding production.C.Because the farmers were uncertain whether foreign markets could be found for their produce.D.Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the program.(4).The decrease in world food prices was a result of _.（分数：2.00）A.a sharp fall in the purchasing

45、power of the consumersB.a sharp fall in the cost of food productionC.the overproduction of food in the food importing countriesD.the overproduction on the part of the main food exporting countries(5).Which of the following could serve as the best title for the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Food Shortage or Abu

46、ndanceB.The Shrinking Food MarketC.Farmers ConfusionD.Fight against Food ImportsBText 1/BThe importance and focus of the interview in the work of the print and broadcast journalist is reflected in several books that have been written on the topic. Most of these books, as well as several chapters, ma

47、inly in, but not limited to, journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress the “how to“ aspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview, its context, and implications. Much of the “how to“ material is based on personal experiences and gene

48、ral impressions. As we know, in journalism as in other fields, much can be learned from the systematic study of professional practice. Such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized principles can be developed.There is, as has been suggested, a growing body of research literature in journalism and broadcasting, but very little significant attention has been devoted to the study of the interview itself. On the other hand, many general texts as well as numerous research articles on interviewing in fields other than journalism have been written. Many of the
