Answer the questions below each text by

26、choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Because they do not breathe as often as women, men also need more oxygen. But men breathe more deeply and

27、 this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air when it is polluted. Mens bones are larger than womens and they are arranged somewhat differently. The feminine walk that evokes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis, which make

28、s him stride out with no waste motion. A womans wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway as she walks. If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean out the roof g

29、utters, dont forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a womans thigh is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, no matter whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is tackling. A mans skin is thicker than a womans and not nearly as soft. This preve

30、nts the suns radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer. Becau

31、se the fat layer helps insulate them against heat. Mens fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more lean mass. 41 percent of a mans body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women,

32、which means that men have more muscle power. When we mention strength, almost 90 percent of a mans weight is strength compared to about 50 percent of a womans weight. The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat do

33、es just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to loss weight, the pounds roll off much faster. For all mens muscularity they do not have the energy reserves women do. They have more start-up energy, but the fat tucked away in womens nooks and crannies provides a rich energy reserve that men lack.

34、Cardiologists at the University of Alabama who tested healthy women on treadmills discovered that over the years the female capacity for exercise far exceeds the male capacity. A woman of sixty who is in good health can exercise up to 90 percent of what she could do when she was twenty. A man of six

35、ty has only 60 percent left of his capacity as a twenty-year-old. 41 That boys suffer more from air pollution can possibly be justified by the fact that （ A） the male have larger bones than the female. （ B） women can manufacture blood more efficiently than men. （ C） men usually breathe more deeply t

36、han women. （ D） women breathe as often as men. 42 The different ways men and women move their body indicate that （ A） bone structures in men and women are arranged differently. （ B） womens bones are more ready to movement. （ C） men always move their bodies with waste motions. （ D） women are good at

37、climbing upwards. 43 It can be concluded from the passage that （ A） men suffer more from suns radiation than women do. （ B） men will be more exhausted than women after a long trip. （ C） the higher proportion of fat in womens body makes them easier to lose weight. （ D） an aged man can still exercise

38、his body as he was young. 44 The best title for the above article is （ A） Why Men Lack Capacity for Exercise over the Years. （ B） How Mens Bones Are Arranged Differently from Womens. （ C） Studies on Differences and Similarities between Men and Women. （ D） Men and Women: Some Differences. 45 Which of

40、 weight. 45 More than 30, 000 drivers and passengers who sit in the front of the vehicles are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a thirdfloor building. Wearing a seat belt saves lives: it reduces your chance of death or serious

41、injury by more than a half. Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you will be fined up to 50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the drivers responsibility to make sure that children und

42、er 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind. However, when youre reversing your car, you do not have to wear a seat belt; or when you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you fr

43、om wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember that you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove that you have been excused from wearing it. 46 How many people in the front of the vehicles are k

48、 World were probably lanterns hung at harbor en- trances. The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brew- stet Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid for and maintained by “light dues“ levied (征收 ) on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. Unt

49、il then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonies. Little over a century later, there were 700 lighthouses. The first eight lanterns erected on the West Coast in the 1850s featured the same basic New England design: a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles. S
