S
14、nore, and you sleep alone.“ Yet snoring is far from a laughing matter, as those unfortunates with good hearing, who are rightly subjected to the sounds of the snoring disorder, will testify. It has been estimated that one of eight Americans snores: this means that there are approximately 21 million
15、peoplewomen as well as menwho render an unpleasant sound when they are asleep. And assuming that each snorer disturbs the sleep of at least one other person, it necessarily follows that there are 21 million unhappy listeners. While a sleeping person breathes, either in or out, several structures in
16、his nose and throat generate the snoring. The sounds, coming from the soft palate and other soft structures of the throat, are caused by vibratory responses to inflowing and outflowing air. When the soft tissues of the mouth and throat come close to the lining of the throat, the vibrations that occu
17、r are caused by the position of the tongue. In short, the noise made by snoring can be compared to the noise when breezes flutter a flag on a pole. The frequency of the vibrations depends on the size, density, and elasticity of the affected tissues and on the force of the air flow. Although it is us
18、ually the process of in haling or exhaling through the mouth that cause snoring, short snores come from the nose of an open-mouthed sleeper. In all fairness to snorers, however, it should be emphasized that snoring is an involuntary out which stops as the offender is awakened.（分数：3.00）(1).The snorin
19、g is caused by _.（分数：1.00）A.the soft palate and other structures of the throatB.the inflowing and outflowing air through the noseC.the inflowing and outflowing air through mouthD.the vibrations as a result of the inflowing and outflowing air(2).If a person produces short snores, most probably he has
20、 _.（分数：1.00）A.a soft palateB.a big noseC.an open mouthD.a small throat(3).The author“s attitude towards the snorers is _.（分数：1.00）A.objectiveB.subjectiveC.sympatheticD.annoyed十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friend
21、s, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Fair, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. S
22、tudies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man“s life and two to a woman“s. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm. Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University
23、of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn“t smoke. There“s a flip side, howev
24、er, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse“s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-years study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Ch
25、ristakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects. So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact
26、 can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner. A life partner, children and good friends are a
27、ll recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.“（分数：5.00）(1).William Farr“s study and other studies show that _.（分数：1.00）A.social life provides an effective cure for i
28、llnessB.being sociable helps improve one“s quality of lifeC.women benefit more than men from marriageD.marriage contributes a great deal to longevity(2).Linda Waite“s studies support the idea that _.（分数：1.00）A.older men should quit smoking to stay healthyB.marriage can help make up for ill healthC.t
29、he married are happier than the unmarriedD.unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life(3).It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side“ (Line 5, Para. 2) refers to _.（分数：1.00）A.the disadvantages of being marriedB.the emotional problems arising from marriageC.the responsibility of
30、taking care of one“s familyD.the consequence of a broken marriage(4).What does the author say about social networks?（分数：1.00）A.They have effects similar to those of a marriage.B.They help develop people“s community spirit.C.They provide timely support for those in need.D.They help relieve people of
31、their life“s burdens.(5).What can be inferred from the last paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.It“s important that we develop a social network when young.B.To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C.Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D.We should share our social networks with each
32、 other.十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh. The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21. Hundreds more are missing or feared dead. The two ferries sank in different rivers near the cap
33、ital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country. The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferries, MV Mitali, was carrying far more people than it was supposed to. About 400 passengers
34、fitted into a space made for just 300, police said the second ferry carried about 100 passengers. “The number of deaths is certain to rise,“ said an official in charge of the rescue work. “No one really knows how many people were on board or how many of them survived.“ Ferries in Bangladesh don“t al
35、ways keep passenger lists, making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board. Besides the ferry accidents, at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats. Storms are common this time of year in Banglades
36、h, as are boating accidents. Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people. Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions. Ferries are a common means of transport
37、 in Bangladesh. It is a country covered by about 230 rivers. Some 20,000 ferries use the nation“s waterways (水路) every year. And many of them are dangerously overcrowded (过度拥挤). Since 1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents.（分数：6.00）(1).How many people have been found de
38、ad in the two ferry disasters?（分数：1.00）A.More than 130.B.Over 3,000.C.About 400.D.At least 40.(2).The two ferry disasters occurred _.（分数：1.00）A.at noonB.in the morningC.at nightD.in the afternoon(3).How many passengers were MV Mitali designed to carry?（分数：1.00）A.440B.100C.400D.300(4).Which of the fo
39、llowing is NOT mentioned as a cause of the boating accidents?（分数：1.00）A.Strong winds.B.Bad weather conditions.C.Blockage of waterways.D.Lack of safety measures.(5).Which of the following statements is NOT true of the two ferry disasters?（分数：1.00）A.They traveled during the April-May stormy season.B.T
40、hey sank on April 21.C.The exact number of deaths could be easily determined.D.They sank somewhere near Dhaka.(6).What is the passage mainly talking about?（分数：1.00）A.The reason which caused the disasters.B.The bad weather conditions in Bangladesh.C.Ferries are common means of transport.D.The bad eff
41、ects of the two ferry disasters in Bangladesh.十二、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：6.00)In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated
42、factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations“ experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become e
43、conomic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management. The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and di
44、e without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings. Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecu
45、re in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the tight mixture of submissiveness and independence. Fr
46、om that moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one“s fellow competitor creates con
47、stant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness. Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise“ capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown.
48、 I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialitiesthose of love and of reasonare the aims of all social arrang
49、ements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.（分数：6.00）(1).By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery“ the author intends to render the idea that man is _.（分数：1.00）A.a necessary part of the society though each individual“s function is negligibleB.working in complete harmony with the rest of the societyC.an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society, though functioning smoothlyD.a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly(2).The real cause
