19、ould make the correct choice. 35 It is clear that some people who participate in exercise training will develop injuries to their bones, muscles, and joints(关节 ). Despite unfounded reports in the mass media of extremely high injury rates among adult exercisers, there have been few good studies of ex

20、ercise injuries in populations. One of the difficulties in performing such studies has been the need to identify both the number of cases and the number of people at risk for injury. In other words, it is difficult to know the number of individuals injured and the total number of individuals exercis

21、ing in the population. But these two figures are necessary in order to calculate(统计 )true injury rates. Normally, injury is defined as an accident that causes a person to stop exercising for at least one week. The best available studies on injury rates show that about 25 to 30 percent of adult runne

22、rs become “injured“(based on the above definition)over the course of a year. More serious injuries include those for which the injured person seeks medical care. If only they are considered, injury rates are much lower, perhaps in the range of 1 percent per year. Little is known about the causes of

23、exercise injuries. One factor that has been linked to injury is the amount of exercise; for example, individuals who run more miles are likelier to be injured than those who run fewer miles. Factors such as age, sex, body type, and experience have not been shown to be associated with risk of injury.

24、 It seems logical that structural abnormalities, sudden increases in training intensity, and types of equipment used are likely to be related to injury risk. However, data to support these opinions are not available. 36 What is the writers attitude towards high injury rates among abult exercisers re

25、ported by the mass media? （ A） Positive. （ B） Indifferent. （ C） Negative. （ D） Reserved. 37 The true injury rates are obtained from_. （ A） the average number of injuries for each individual （ B） the amount of exercises for each individual （ C） the numbers of the injured and all individuals in traini

26、ng （ D） the numbers of people doing exercises and those stopped exercises for one week 38 Which of the following is NOT shown as the factor for causing exercise injuries? （ A） The amount of exercise. （ B） The age, sex and body type. （ C） Structural abnormalities. （ D） The sudden increases in trainin

27、g intensity. 39 The factors that are in relation to exercises injuries_. （ A） have been obtained from many good studies （ B） have been confirmed by many data （ C） cannot confirm the risk of equipment types （ D） can be proved easily by the data through calculation 40 The passage is mainly about_. （ A

28、） the high injury rates for those doing exercises （ B） the ways to avoid exercise injuries （ C） the evidences for the seriousness of exercise injuries （ D） the studies about injury rates and causes for injuries Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished stateme

29、nts are numbered 41 through 45. 40 All of us communicate with one another verbally(口头的 )as well as non-verbally. Most of the time we are not aware that were doing it. We wave a hand, meet someone elses eyes or look away, shift positions in a chair. We make these movements unconsciously. But research

30、ers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent(一致的 )and comprehensible as language. Every culture has its body language. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, Americans are likely to end a statement with a lowerin

31、g of the eyelids. They conclude a question with a lift of the hand or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. Your sex, ethnic background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Nevertheles

32、s, you move and gesture within a certain idiom. Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often its a case of “not what he said but

33、 the way he said it.“ Experts in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. The

34、expert looks for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture. 41 Which of the following is NOT a way of non-verbal communications according to the first paragraph? （ A） Waving a hand. （ B） Making eye contact. （ C） Changing positions in a chair. （ D） Crying in a low voice. 42 Acco

35、rding to researchers, peoples gestures are _. （ A） incidental （ B） comprehensible （ C） isolated （ D） precise 43 All of the following statements are true of Americans EXCEPT _. （ A） start a question with widened eyes （ B） have their forward movements in future-tense verbs （ C） cross their legs in a d

36、ifferent way that Englishmen do （ D） tend to lower their eyelids to conclude a statement 44 In paragraph 3, which of the following does NOT influence ones body language? （ A） Sex. （ B） Educational background. （ C） Social status. （ D） Personal style. 45 Non-verbal communication _. （ A） always express

37、es the message precisely （ B） usually doesnt match the language （ C） sometimes isolates a meaning （ D） often shows the speakers true emotions Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should w

38、rite your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks. 45 An abbreviation(缩写词 )can be defined as a shortened form of a word or term. Abbreviations are an attempt to communicate information fast and accurately. But this goal is not always achieved. To many people, particularly to those ne

39、w to a field, reports and papers sometimes seem to be written in a telegraphic style with abbreviations so interspersed(夹杂 )as to make the message almost meaningless. Owing to the lack of a comprehensive dictionary of abbreviations and the diverse definitions of abbreviations among subject areas, it

40、 is common practice in most scholarly publications to include in an appendix(目录 )at the end of the book a list of the abbreviations used. Another method is to explain the abbreviation to the reader the first time it appears. Librarians, like everyone else, tend to use abbreviations to save space and

41、 time and to eliminate the necessity of repeating words or phrases that are long and complicated. In the library and information science field, abbreviations are used primarily for magazine and book titles, names of organizations, etc. Definition of an abbreviation:【 B1】 _of a word or term Purpose o

42、f using abbreviations:【 B2】 _fast and accurately Causes of difficulties in using abbreviations: 1. lack of a comprehensive dictionary 2.【 B3】 _of abbreviations among subject areas Ways to introduce abbreviations: 1. To include abbreviations in【 B4】 _at the end of the book 2. To give explanations One

43、 kind of users of abbreviations mentioned here: 【 B5】 _ 46 【 B1】 47 【 B2】 48 【 B3】 49 【 B4】 50 【 B5】 Task 4 Directions: The following is a list of terms.

After reading the passage you should give bri

46、ef answers to the 5 questions (No.56 through No.60) following them. 55 Dear Client, Office Angels Agency is advising businesses to plan as far ahead as possible to ensure guaranteed staff cover during holiday periods. There is now a serious shortage of skilled secretarial and administrative staff an

47、d this is expected to get worse over the next twelve months. Businesses which require staff with experience of specialist computer applications are the most at risk. You are advised to contact our agency well before the staffs are actually needed to be certain of filling gaps with adequately trained

48、 personnel. If you dont, its almost certain that you will be left without the skills needed to keep your office running smoothly. The reason for the shortage of secretarial staff appears to be a combination of two factors. There has been an increase in the demand for secretarial services over the la

49、st few years, and at the same time there has been a lack of students deciding to choose secretarial studies. Office Angels Agency would like to emphasize that businesses should not underestimate the difficulty of getting experienced temporary staff. It is also necessary to make the point that businesses should be prepared for the fact that they may have to pay more for this kind o
