9、adequate explanation for a seemingly simple question: “why do people become too fat and what can be done to prevent it?“ about 50 million men and 60 million women between the ages of 18 and 79 are “too fat“ and need to reduce excess weight. This amount to about 377 million kg of excess fat for men a

10、nd 667 million kg for women, or a total of t044 million kg (2297 million 1b) for the United States adult population! If the overfat men and women dieted by consuming 600 fewer calories each day to reduce to a “normal“ value of body fat (achievable in 68 days for men and 101 days for women), the redu

11、ced caloric intake would equal 5.7 trilling calories. Translating this into fossil fuel energy and considering such factors as the energy required to plant, cultivate, harvest, feed, process, transport, wholesale, retail, acquire, store and cook the food, the annual energy savings would be equal to

12、that required to supply the residential electric demands of Boston, Chicago, san Francisco and Washington DC, or 13 billion gallons of gasoline to fuel 900,000 autos per year. Until recently, the major cause of obesity was believed to be overeating. However, if gluttony (贪食 ) and overindulgence were

13、 the only factors associated with an increase in body fat, the easiest way to permanently reduce would surely to be cut back on food. Of course, if it were that simple, obesity would soon be eliminated as a major health problem. There are obviously other factors operative such as genetic, environmen

14、tal, and social influences. However, these causes probably overlap. It seems fairly certain that the treatment procedures devised so far, whether they be diets, surgery, drugs, psychologic methods, or exercise, either alone or in combination, have not been particularly successful in solving the prob

15、lem on a long-term basis. There is nonetheless, optimism that as researchers continue to investigate the many facets of. obesity, as well as to test and quantify various treatment modes, significant progress can be made to conquer this major health problem. 16 The percentage of the excess fat for wo

21、till night, it is hard to slow down and unwind. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body, 2. Stress is a natural part of everyday life. There is no way to avoid it, since it takes many and varied forms driving in traffic, problems with personal relationships are all different forms of

22、 stress. Stress, in fact, is not as bad as it is often reputed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can head to level performance and ill health. 3. The amount of stress a person can withstan

23、d depends very much on the individual. Some people thrive on stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others crumple at the sight of unusual difficulties. 4. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we

24、 invoke (调用 ) the fight mechanism which in more primitive days made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however minimal the stress, it involves the same response. All the energy is diverted to cope with the stress, with the result that ot

25、her function, such as digestion, are neglected. 5. It is when such a reaction is prolonged, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease all have established links with stress. The way stress affects a pe

26、rson also varies with the individual. Stress in some people produces stomach disorders, while others succumb to tension headaches.

29、选 1个最佳选项。 31 Television Television that most pervasive (普遍深入的 ) and persuasive of modern technologies marked by rapid change and growth is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution

30、of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies. The word “television“, derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (vision: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system

31、 of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image (focused on a special photo conductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconsti

32、tuted into that same image. Television is more than just an electronics system, however. It is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings. The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by

33、its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based air-waves transmission of television signals. Second, there is non-broadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmissi

34、on techniques. Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast ne

35、tworks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in t

36、his dynamic medium as the passive viewer. 31 What is the literal meaning of the word “television“? （ A） Sight from a distance. （ B） TV. （ C） Air waves transmission. （ D） Vehicle for communication. 32 Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a function of electronics in television tr

37、ansmissions? （ A） The feeding of impulses into a television set. （ B） The conversion of an image into electronic impulses. （ C） The sending of impulses through a wire cable. （ D） The turning of one image into another. 33 What field of television is intended for specific groups? （ A） Broad-based. （ B

38、） Non-broadcast. （ C） Reconstitued. （ D） Techonological. 34 In the last paragraph, the word “purveyors“ could best be replaced by which of the following? （ A） Suppliers. （ B） Directors. （ C） Cheats. （ D） Managers. 35 Which of the following statements about the relationship between television and its

39、 viewers can best be inferred from the passage? （ A） Viewers would indulge in TV programmes. （ B） Viewers depend on television to understand others. （ C） Viewers do not take an active role in watching TV. （ D） Television has shaped viewers minds. 36 For job seekers There is a new type of small advet

40、isement becoming increasingly common in news- papers classified columns. It is sometimes placed among“ situations vacant“, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted“, al- though it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to

41、offer help in applying for a job. “Contact us before writing your application,“ or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your resume or job history,“ is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialised service is, of course, a reflection on the current high

42、levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the resume (or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right. There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name, address, age and wh

43、ether you have passed any exams,“ was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when they left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those clays of full emplo

44、yment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest. Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which woul

45、d distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for,“ was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job in view. There is no doubt, however, that it is th

46、e increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the resume. 36 According to the passage, the new type of advertisements _. （ A） informs job hunters of the chances available （ B） promises useful advic

47、e to job-hunters （ C） divides available jobs into various types （ D） informs employers that people are available for work 37 Now a demand for this type of service has been created because _. （ A） there is a lack of jobs available for artistic people （ B） there are so many top-level jobs available （

48、C） there are so many people out of work （ D） the job history is considered to be a work of art 38 It the past it was expected that first-job hunters would _. （ A） write an initial letter giving their life history （ B） pass some exams before applying for a job （ C） have no qualifications other than b

49、eing able to read and write （ D） keep any detailed information until they obtained an interview 39 When applying for more important jobs, one had better include in the letter _. （ A） something attractive in ones application （ B） a personal opinion about the organization one wanted to join （ C） something that would offend its reader （ D） a lie that one could easily get away with telling 40 The resume has become so important because _. （ A） of an increase in the number of jobs advertised （ B） of an in
