17、port is one of the aids to trade. By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce, transport adds to their value. The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. When there were no railways, no go

18、od roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale. 2 The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade. Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand, for instanc

19、e. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe. Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. Big city stores could not have developed

20、unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods were delivered to their homes. Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance. 3 Transport also prevents waste. Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland t

21、owns. Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally. Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living. 4 By mov

22、ing fuel, raw materials, and even power, for example, through electric cables, transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before. Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than

23、 others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes, the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried. Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living. 5 Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the

24、carrying of messages and information. Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radio, send information about prices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts of the world. In this way, advanced communication systems also help to develop trade. A Higher Living Standard B Import

25、ance of Transport in Trade C Various Means of Transport D Birth of Transport-related Industries and Trade E Role of Information in Trade F Public Transportation 23 Paragraph 2_ 24 Paragraph 3_ 25 Paragraph 4_ 26 Paragraph 5_ 26 A to send goods to various parts of the world B at any time during the y

27、 for people to eat whatever food they want_. 30 In the trade of modern society the transmission of information plays as important a role as 四、 阅读理解 (第 31-45题，每题 3分，共 45分 ) 下面有 3篇短文后有 5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题选 1个最佳选项。 30 Eat to Live A meager diet may give you health and long life, but its not much fun and it

28、might not even be necessary. We may be able to hang on to most of that youthful vigor even if we dont start to diet until old age. Stephen Spindler and his colleagues from the University of California at Riverside have found that some of an elderly mouses liver genes can be made to behave as they di

29、d when the mouse was young simply by limiting its food for four weeks. The genetic rejuvenation wont reverse other damage caused by time for the mouse, but could help its liver metabolize drugs or get rid of toxins. Spindlers team fed three mice a normal diet for their whole lives, and fed another t

30、hree on half-rations. Three more mice were switched from the normal diet to half-feed for a month when they were 34 months old equivalent to about 70 human years. The researchers checked the activity of 11, 000 genes from the mouse livers, and found that 46 changed with age in the normally fed mice.

31、 The changes were associated with things like inflammation and free radical production probably bad news for mouse health. In the mice that had dieted all their lives, 27 of those 46 genes continued to behave like young genes. But the most surprising finding was that the mice that only started dieti

32、ng in old age also benefited from 70 percent of these gene changes. “ This is the first indication that these effects kick in pretty quickly, “ says Huber Warner from the National Institute on Aging near Washington D. C. No one yet knows if calorie restriction works in people as it does in mice, but

33、 Spindler is hopeful. “Theres attracting and tempting evidence out there that it will work, “ he says. If it does work in people, there might be good reasons for rejuvenating the liver. As we get older, our bodies are less efficient at metabolizing drugs, for example. A brief period of time of dieti

34、ng, says Spindler, could be enough to make sure a drug is effective. But Spindler isnt sure the trade-off is worth it. “The mice get less disease, they live longer, but theyre hungry, “ he says. “ Even seeing what a diet does, its still hard to go to a restaurant and say: I can only eat half of that

35、.“ Spindler hopes we soon wont need to diet at all. His company, Lifespan Genetics in California, is looking for drugs that have the effects of calorie restriction. 31 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? （ A） Eating less than usual might make us live longer. （ B） If we go o

36、n a diet when old, we may keep healthy. （ C） Dieting might not be needed. （ D） We have to begin dieting since childhood. 32 Why does the author mention an elderly mouse in paragraph 2? （ A） To describe the influence of old age on mice. （ B） To illustrate the effect of meager food on mice. （ C） To te

37、ll us how mices liver genes behave. （ D） To inform us of the process of metabolizing drugs. 33 What can be inferred about completely normally fed mice mentioned in the passage? （ A） They will not experience free radical production. （ B） They will experience more genetic rejuvenation in their lifetim

38、e. （ C） They have more old liver genes to behave like young genes. （ D） They are more likely to suffer from inflammation. 34 According to the author, which of the following most interested the researchers? （ A） The mice that started dieting in old age. （ B） 27 of those 46 old genes that continued to

39、 behave like young genes. （ C） Calorie restriction that works in people. （ D） Dieting that makes sure a drug is effective. 35 According to the last two paragraphs, Spindler believes that_. （ A） drugs do not have the effects of calorie restriction （ B） dieting is not a good method to give us health a

40、nd long life （ C） seeing the effect of a diet, people will like to eat less than normal （ D） calorie restriction is very important to young people 35 Long Bus Ride Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four min

41、utes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. “ “Drink Goodn Wet Root Beer. “ “Fill up with Pacific Gas. “ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television

42、 set off, are you spared the unending cry of “ You Need It! Buy It Now!“ The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of drivin

43、g and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement

44、dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know i

45、t will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now youve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit. 3

46、6 According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip? （ A） buses on the road. （ B） films on television. （ C） advertisements on the board. （ D） gas stations. 37 What is the purpose of this passage? （ A） To give the writers opinion about long bus trips. （ B）
