17、 country.六、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)That health and beauty are linked is not in doubt. But it comes as something of a surprise that who is 1 as beautiful depends not only on the health of a person but also on the average level of health in the place where she lives
18、. This, though, is the conclusion of a study just published in Biology Letters by Urszula Marcinkowska of the University of Turku, in Finland, and her 2 for Ms. Macinkowska has found that men in healthy countries think women with the most 3 face are the prettiest whilst those in unhealthy places pre
19、fer more masculine-looking ones. Ms Marcinkowska came to this conclusion by showing nearly 2,000 men from 28 countries various versions of the same female faces, 4 to look less or more feminine and thus 5 the effect of different levels of oestrogen and testosterone. Oestrogen promotes 6 such as larg
20、e eyes and full lips that are 7 feminine. Testosterone promotes 8 features, such as wide faces and strong chins. Previous studies have shown that women with feminine features are more fertile. A man“s 9 for them is thus likely to enhance his reproductive success. Ms Marcinkowska speculates that test
21、osterone-induced behavioral characteristics like 10 which might be expected to correlate with masculine-looking faces even in women (they certainly do in men), help in the competition for resources needed to sustain children once they are born. But why that should be particularly important in an unh

23、mericans crowd together in the 3 percent of the country that is urban. 36 million people live in and around Tokyo, the most productive metropolitan area in the world. Twelve million people reside in central Mumbai. On a planet with vast amounts of space, all of humanity could fit in Texas each of us
24、 with a personal townhouse, we choose cities. Although it has become cheaper to travel long distances, or to telecommute, more and more people are clustering closer and closer together in large metropolitan areas. Five million more people every month live in the cities of the developing world, and i
25、n 2011, more than half the world“s population is urban. B. Cities, the dense agglomerations (凝聚体) that dot the globe, have been engines of innovation since Plato and Socrates argued in an Athenian marketplace. The streets of Florence gave us the Renaissance, and the streets of Birmingham gave us the
26、 Industrial Revolution. The great prosperity of contemporary London and Tokyo comes from their ability to produce new thinking. Wandering these citieswhether down stone sidewalks or grid-cutting cross streets, around roundabouts or under freewaysis to study nothing less than human progress. C. In th
27、e richer countries of the West, cities have survived the end of the industrial age and are now wealthier, healthier, and more tempting than ever. In the world“s poorer places, cities are expanding enormously because urban density provides the clearest path from poverty to prosperity. Despite the tec
28、hnological breakthroughs that have caused the death of distance, it turns out that the world isn“t flat; it“s paved. D. The city has triumphed. But as many of us know from personal experience, sometimes city roads are paved to hell. The city may win, but too often its citizens seem to lose. Every ur
29、ban childhood is shaped by extraordinary people and experiencessome delicious, like the sense of power that comes from a preteen“s first subway trip alone; some less so, like a first exposure to urban gunfire. For every Fifth Avenue, there“s a Mumbai slum; for every Sorbonne, there“s a D.C. high sch
30、ool guarded by metal detectors. E. Indeed, for many Americans, the latter half of the twentieth centurythe end of the industrial agewas an education not in urban splendor (辉煌) but in urban squalor (惨状). How well we learn from the lessons our cities teach us will determine whether our urban species w
31、ill flourish in what can be a new golden age of the city. F. My passion for the urban world was inspired by my metropolitan childhood; I“ve spent my life trying to understand cities. That quest has been rooted in economic theory and data, but it has also meandered (漫步) through the histories of metro
32、politan areas and the everyday stories of those who live and work in them. I find studying cities so interesting because they pose fascinating, important, and often troubling questions. Why do the richest and poorest people in the world so often live side by side? How do once-mighty cities fall into
33、 disrepair? Why do so many artistic movements arise so quickly in particular cities at particular moments? Why do so many smart people enact so many foolish urban policies? G. There“s no better place to ponder these questions than what many consider to be the prototypical cityNew York. Native New Yo
34、rkers, like myself, may occasionally have a slightly exaggerated view of their city“s importance, but New York is still a model of urbanity and therefore an appropriate place to start our journey to cities across the world. Its story includes the past, present, and future of our urban centers, and p
35、rovides a springboard for many of the themes that will emerge from the pages and places ahead. H. If you stand on Forty-seventh Street and Fifth Avenue this Wednesday afternoon, you“ll be surrounded by people. Some are rushing uptown for a meeting or downtown to grab a drink. Others are walking east
36、 to enter the Grand Central Terminal, which has more platforms than any other train station in the world. Some people may be trying to buy an engagement ringafter all, forty-seventh Street is the nation“s premier market for jewels. There will be visitors gazing upwardsomething New Yorkers never doon
37、 their way from one landmark to another. If you imitate a tourist and look up, you“ll see two great ridges of skyscrapers framing the valley that is Fifth Avenue. I. Thirty years ago, New York City“s future looked far less bright. Like almost every colder, older city. The city“s subways and buses fe
38、lt out of date in a world being rebuilt around the car. The city“s port, once the glory of the Eastern seaboard, had sunk into irrelevance. Under the leadership of John Lindsay and Abe Beame, the city“s government had come near default despite having some of the highest taxes in the nation. Not just
39、 Jerry Ford, but history itself seemed to be telling New York City to drop dead. J. New York, or more properly New Amsterdam, was founded during an earlier era of globalization as a distant outpost of the Dutch West India Company. It was a trading village where a hodgepodge (大杂绘) of adventurers came
40、 to make fortunes swapping pearls for furs. Those Dutch settlers clustered together because proximity made it easier to exchange goods and ideas and because there was safety behind the town“s protective wall (now Wall Street). K. In the eighteenth century, New York passed Boston to become the Englis
41、h colonies, most important port; it specialized in shipping wheat and flour south to feed the sugar and tobacco colonies. During the first half of the nineteenth century, with business booming, New York“s population grew from sixty thousand to eight hundred thousand, and the city became America“s ur
42、ban giants. That population explosion was partly due to changes in transportation technology. At the start of the nineteenth century, ships were generally smallthree hundred tons was a normal sizeand, like smaller airplanes today, ideal for point-to-point trips, like Liverpool to Charlestown or Bost
43、on to Glasgow. Between 1800 and 1850, improvements in technology and finance brought forth larger ships that could carry bigger loads at faster speeds and lower cost. L. There was no percentage in having these huge ships traveling to every point along the American coast. Just like today“s Boeing 747
44、s, which land at major centers and transfer their passengers onto smaller planes that take them to their final destinations, the big ships came to one central bay and then transferred their goods to smaller vessels for delivery up and down the Eastern seaboard. New York was America“s super port, wit
45、h its central location, deep, protected harbor, and river access far into the inland. When America moved to a hub-and-spoke shipping system, New York became the natural hub.（分数：71.00）(1).Cheaper long-distance travel and telecommunication did not lead people to move away from the cities.（分数：7.10）(2).
46、The author considers New York as a proper place to start our trip to other cities because it is a model of urbanity.（分数：7.10）(3).When traveling through contemporary London and Tokyo, people learn a lot about human progress.（分数：7.10）(4).New York City seemed to drop dead thirty years ago.（分数：7.10）(5).
47、Cities in the world“s poorer places are experiencing great expansion because urban density facilitates the breaking away from poverty.（分数：7.10）(6).A mess of adventurers who wanted to make fortunes came to New York, the former trading village.（分数：7.10）(7).The lessons we draw from our cities will dete
48、rmine whether urban people will have a prosperous future.（分数：7.10）(8).In the 18th century, New York functioned as the most important port shipping food to feed the sugar and tobacco colonies.（分数：7.10）(9).The author“s metropolitan childhood inspired his enthusiasm for cities.（分数：7.10）(10).Between 180
49、0 and 1850, larger ships that could carry bigger loads at faster speeds and lower cost could be built due to improvements in technology and finance.（分数：7.10）九、Section C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：71.00)In a country with a shrinking population, the latest trend in Germany“s higher education is something of a mystery: the number of universities and academic programs is rising.
