17、axation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body“s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的) nervous system activity. This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore its

18、elf; but. it has a calming effect on the consciousness. How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy. A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist“ said that sim

19、ple sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation (沉思) does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation. The debate goes on, but

20、 one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there . One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the methods, y

21、ou can find the one that works best for you. Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis (自我心理分析) and progressive muscle relaxation response. More than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more

22、 effective for most individuals.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage indicates that a state of deep relaxation is not only good for one“s body, but also beneficial to _.（分数：2.00）A.heart beatB.consciousnessC.muscle tensionD.sympathetic nervous system(2).People seem to agree that _.（分数：2.00）A.sitting in an armch

23、air benefits a person as meditation doesB.what people are struggling for is a state 6f deep relaxationC.to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various meansD.structured consciousness relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person(3).In the third paragraph, the phrase “gett

24、ing there“ most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.arriving at one“s destinationB.getting what one wants mostC.reaching a state of deep relaxationD.finding out a suitable relaxation technique(4).As far as relaxation is concerned, the author indicates that _.（分数：2.00）A.aims are more important than meansB.me

25、ans are more important than aimsC.some relaxation techniques are better than othersD.more and more people are interested in relaxation techniques(5).The author“s attitude toward relaxation is best described as _.（分数：2.00）A.criticalB.objectiveC.optimisticD.subjective四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)If th

26、ere is one thing I“m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading newsp

27、aper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more

28、coverage of scientific research, though. It“s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we doas we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates a

29、nd what our feeling really are. It“s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I“m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making u

30、p your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to readsports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but

31、 that hasn“t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it“s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the best title for the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The Best Way to Get NewsB.Th

32、e Changes of MediaC.Make Your Own NewspaperD.The Future of Newspaper(2).In the writer“s opinion, in the future, _.（分数：2.00）A.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC.newspapers will cover more scientific researchD.

33、more and more people will watch TV(3).What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?（分数：2.00）A.Sports and international news.B.A menu of important news.C.The most important news.D.What you are interested in.(4).From the passage, we can infer _.（分数：2.00）A.newspapers will win the competition

34、 among the different mediaB.newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC.television will take the place of newspaperD.the writer believe some media will die out(5).The phrase “feed off“ in the last paragraph means _.（分数：2.00）A.depend onB.compete withC.fight withD.kill off五、Passage Three(总

35、题数：1，分数：10.00)When men get sick, they act like babies, say women. But maybe the fairer sex should learn something useful from these guysit could save their lives, say researchers at the University of Michigan. When women have a heart attack, they“re more likely to put off seeking help than the men,

36、and after an attack, they“re less likely to take steps to improve their health. What“s the reason for the different responses? The results of a survey suggest that women are too tough; they think heart problem is simply not a big deal. When Steven Erickson and his colleagues asked 348 men and 142 wo

37、men who had been admitted to the hospital for a heart attack about their symptoms and medication (用药情况), they found that even though the women had more symptoms and were taking more medicine they rated their disease as being no more severe than the men did. For more on women and heart disease, go to

38、 www.amerieanheart.org.（分数：10.00）(1).The underlined expression “the fairer sex“ in Paragraph 1 refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.menB.babiesC.womenD.researchers(2).The fairer sex should learn something useful from the guys to _.（分数：2.00）A.save others“ livesB.take less medicineC.seek help when sickD.act like ba

39、bies when sick(3).When women have a heart attack, _.（分数：2.00）A.they take it seriouslyB.they have less symptoms than menC.they take no medicineD.they“re more likely to delay seeking help(4).How is the second paragraph organized?（分数：2.00）A.By defining.B.By classifying.C.By comparing and contrasting.D.

40、By analyzing cause and effect.(5).According to the passage, you may _ to find more information about women and heart disease.（分数：2.00）A.conduct a surveyB.consult your doctorC.turn to researchers in personD.go to a particular website六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)As the Titanic was sinking and women a

41、nd children climbed into lifeboats, the musicians from the ship“s band stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self-interest. “T

42、here was no pushing,“ says David Savage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was “very, very orderly behavior“. Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also

43、sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked (恐慌). There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors. The biggest difference, Savage con

44、cludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. “If you“ve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner,“ Savage says. “If you“re going down in under 17 minutes,

45、basically it“s instinctual.“ On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out . The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats. Yes, we“re self-interested, Savage says. But we“re also part of a society. Given

46、 time, social norms (规范) can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic (坚忍的). On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, economists were confused because _.（分数：2.00）A.

47、people“s behavior was disorderly on the TitanicB.people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC.most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD.women and children could not climb into the lifeboats(2).The expression “won out“ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “_“

48、.（分数：2.00）A.took the upper handB.went out of controlC.ran wildD.shut down(3).According to David Savage, _ was a critical factor in determining people“s behavior in the sinking of these two ships.（分数：2.00）A.social orderB.placeC.instinctD.time(4).According to the passage, which of the following is NOT

49、 TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.Both ships were expensive ones.B.A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C.About the same number of people from each ship died.D.Both ships had a similar number of passengers.(5).Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Why Didn“t
