Choose the correct word in one of the followin
26、g three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letters of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.The process by U U 1 /U /Uof which human beings arbitrarily make certain things stand for other things may be called the s
27、ymbolic process.Everywhere we turn, we see the symbolic process at work. There are few things men do or want to do, possess or want to possess, that have not a symbolic value.Almost all fashionable clothes are U U 2 /U /U(high) symbolic, so is food. We sU U 3 /U /Uour furniture to serve as visible s
28、ymbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We often choose our houses on the U U 4 /U /Uof a feeling that it “looks well“ to have a “good address. “ We trade perfectly good cars in for U U 5 /U /U(late) models not always to get better transportation, but to give evidence to the community that
29、 we can U U 6 /U /Uit.Such complicated and apparently U U 7 /U /U(use) behavior leads philosophers to ask over and over again, “why cant human beings live simply and naturally. “ Often the complexity of human life makes us look enviously at the relative U U 8 /U /Usim of such lives as dogs and cats.
30、 Simply, the fact that symbolic process makes complexity possible is no reason for wanting to U U 9 /U /Uto a cat-and-dog existence. A better solution is to understand the symbolic process so that instead of being its slaves we become, to some degree at least, its U U 10 /U /U.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1

This makes surgery riskier for men. Men also need more oxygen because they do not breathe as often as women. But men br
32、eathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. When the air is polluted, they draw more of it into their lungs.A more recent and chilling finding is the effect of automobile and truck exhaust fumes on childrens intelligence. These exhaust fumes are the greatest source of lead pollution in
33、cities. Researchers have found that the children with the highest concentration of lead in their bodies have the lowest scores on intelligence tests and that boys score lower than girls. It is possible that these low scores are connected to the deeper breathing that is typical of the male.Mens bones
34、 are larger than womens and they are arranged somewhat differently. The feminine walk that evokes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. Men have broader shoulders arid a narrower pelvis, which enables them to stride out with no waste motion. A womans wider pelvis, designed for childbearing
35、, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of a jiggle and sway as she walks.If you think a man is brave because he climbs a ladder to clean out the roof gutters, dont forget that it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woma
36、ns thigh is joined to her knees makes climbing awkward for her, no matter whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is tackling.A mans skin is thicker than a womans and not nearly as soft. The thickness prevents the suns radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less tha
37、n women do.Women also stay cooler in summer. The fat layer helps insulate them against heat. Mens fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more lean mass. Forty-one percent of a mans body is m
38、uscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means men have more muscle power. When it comes to strength, almost 90 percent of a mans weight is strength compared to about 50 percent of womans weight.The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle bums
39、up five more calories a pound that fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man goes on a diet, the pounds roll off much faster.For all mens muscularity they do not have the energy reserves women do. They have more start-up energy, but the fat tucked away in womens nooks and crannies provides a r
40、ich energy reserve that men lack.Cardiologists at the University of Alabama who tested healthy women in treadmills discovered that over years the female capacity for exercise far exceeds the male capacity. A woman of sixty who is in good health can exercise up to 90 percent of what she could do when
41、 she was twenty. A man of sixty has 60 percent left of his capacity as a twenty-year-old.Questions: Complete the following sentences according to the passage, using a maximum of 4 words for each sentence.（分数：10.00）(1).The main topic of this passage is about the _ between men and women.（分数：2.00）填空项 1

Located on the south-east coast of Australia in the temperate zone, it enjoys a mild climate, averaging 14. 5 hours
44、of sunshine per day in summer and 10. 25 hours in winter. It is also the largest, oldest, and perhaps most beautifully situated city in Australia. First established by the British as a convict settlement in 1788, it is a modern cosmopolitan city that has developed into one of the nations major indus
45、trial, business, and manufacturing centres.Sydney is home to nearly 4. 4 million people (as of 1997). The suburbs reach out from the city centre and harbour some 55 km to the north 35 km to the west and 30 km to the south, creating a metropolitan area of about 3,000 square kilometres.
