18、uare brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events.They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful.Negative events like “serious illness of a family member“ were hi

19、gh on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage.When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress it only shows how much you have to deal with.And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically a

20、ffects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe.And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message.Womens magazines ran headlines like “St

21、ress causes illness.“ If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said,avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow.Even if stressful events are dangerous, many like the death of a loved one are impossible to avoid.Moreover, any warning to avoid al

22、l stressful events is a prescription (处方 ) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble.Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry,have a child,take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot

23、 of what we know about people.It assumes were all vulnerable (脆弱的 ) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境 ).But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before.We also know that a long time without change or

24、challenge can lead to boredom,and physical and mental strain. 21 The result of Holmes-Rahes medical research tells us_. （ A） the way you handle major events may cause stress （ B） what should be done to avoid stress （ C） what kind of event would cause stress （ D） how to cope with sudden changes in li

26、ws_. （ A） how much pressure you are under （ B） how positive events can change you life （ C） how stressful a major event can be （ D） how you can deal with life-changing events 23 Most episodes of absent-mindedness forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room are caused

27、 by a simple lack of attention? says Schacter.“Youre supposed to remember something,but you havent encoded it deeply.“ Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later.Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations

28、.If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conversation, youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜 ).“Your memory itself isnt failing you,“ says Schacter.“Rather, you didnt gi

29、ve your memory system the information it needed.“ Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness.“A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,“ says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.“ Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay

30、 more attention to their environment,and memory relies on just that. Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter.“But be sure the cue is clear and available,“ he cautions.If you want to remember to take a medication (药物 ) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table dont le

31、ave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket. Another common episode of absent-mindedness, walking into a room and wondering why youre there.Most likely, you were;thinking about something else.“Everyone does this from time to time,“ says Zelinski.The best thing to

32、 do is to return to where you were before entering the room,and youll likely remember. 24 Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important? （ A） It helps us understand our memory system better, （ B） It enables us to recall something from our memory. （ C） It expands our memory capac

33、ity considerably. （ D） It slows down the process of losing our memory. 25 One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that_. （ A） they have a wider range of interests （ B） they are more reliant on the environment （ C） they have an unusual power of focusing their attention （ D） the

34、y are more interested in whats happening around them 26 A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because_. （ A） it will easily get lost （ B） its not clear enough for you to read （ C） its out of your sight （ D） it might get mixed up with other things 27 What do we learn from the last parag

35、raph? （ A） If we focus our attention on one thing,we might forget another. （ B） Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment. （ C） Repetition helps improve our memory. （ D） If we keep forgetting things,wed better return to where we were. 28 What is the passage mainly about? （ A） The process

36、 of gradual memory loss. （ B） The causes of absent-mindedness. （ C） The impact of the environment on memory. （ D） A way of encoding and recalling. 28 It is hard to track the blue whale, the oceans largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endang

37、ered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior. So biologists were delighted early this year when with the help of the Navy they were able to track a particular blue whale for 33 days monitoring its sounds.This

38、 was possible because of the Navys formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans. Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of u

39、nderwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies. Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption (爆发 ) for the first time and that they plan similar studies.Other scie

40、ntists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second slower than through land but faster than through air.What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as

41、 channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器 ) does when it carries faint noises from a patients chest to a doctors ear.This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles. 29 The

42、 passage is chiefly about_. （ A） an effort to protect an endangered marine species （ B） the civilian use of a military detection system （ C） the exposure of a U.S.Navy top-secret weapon （ D） a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales 30 The underwater listening system was originally designed

43、_. （ A） to trace and locate enemy vessels （ B） to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions （ C） to study the movement of ocean currents （ D） to replace the global radio communications network 31 The deep-sea listening system makes use of_. （ A） the sophisticated technology of focusing sounds under water

44、（ B） the capability of sound to travel at high speed （ C） the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting sound （ D） low-frequency sounds travelling across different layers of water 32 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） new radio devices should be developed for tracking the

45、 endangered blue whales （ B） blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system （ C） opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology （ D） military technology has great potential in civilian use 33 Which of the following is tru

46、e about the U.S.Navy underwater listening network? （ A） It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists. （ B） It has been replaced by a more advanced system. （ C） It became useless to the military after the cold war. （ D） It is indispensable in protecting endangered species. 34 In the last senten

47、ce of fourth paragraph, the word “proposed“ can be replaced by_. （ A） supposed （ B） suggested （ C） imagined （ D） planned 34 The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise (有氧操 ).Millions of individuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activit

48、ies, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize (获利 ) on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females.A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities.Ho

49、wever, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts.These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially from the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested thatweight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits.In recent years, however, w
