10、题数：1，分数：10.00)In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem“. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet t
11、hey ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn“t watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study
12、 of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the mor
13、e body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.（分数：10.00）(1).The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that _.（分数：2.00）A.they are too slimB.they work too hardC.they are too
14、 fatD.they lose too much body fat(2).According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, _ people will have a “weight problem.“（分数：2.00）A.30B.50C.100D.150(3).Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “ weight problem?“（分数：2.00）A.Yes, there is plenty of evide
15、nce.B.Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D.We don“t know because the information is not given.(4).In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s _.（分数：2.00）A.ate more food and had more p
16、hysical activitiesB.ate less food but had more activitiesC.ate less food and had less physical exerciseD.had more weight problems(5).Modern scientific researches have reported to us that _.（分数：2.00）A.fat people eat less food and are less activeB.fat people eat more food than slim people and are more
17、 activeC.fat people eat more food than slim people but are less activeD.thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say t
18、hat those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry. For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the Sout
19、h American often considers the North American to be “cold“ or “distant“ because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to . The “eye contact“ provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye co
20、ntact between people who like each other than there is between people who don“t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to look at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about. On the other hand, too long a gaze can make peop
21、le uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often
22、makes us uneasy.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, nonverbal communication _.（分数：2.00）A.is a method often used by people who cannot speakB.can tell something that words cannotC.can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD.is less used than words(2).The South American _.（分数：2.00）A.tends to k
23、eep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking toB.usually stands close to the person he is talking toC.is often unfriendly when spoken toD.is often cold and distant when speaking(3).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Less eye contact suggests distance in relation.B.The long
24、er one looks at you, the more interest he has in you.C.There is more eye contact between people who like each other.D.Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.(4).Too long a gaze _.（分数：2.00）A.may upset people being looked atB.shows one“s great confidenceC.indicates one“s
25、interest in the talkD.tells you how friendly one is(5).Constant smiling without apparent reason _.（分数：2.00）A.is a sign of one“s friendlinessB.is a sign of one“s unfriendlinessC.makes people feel happyD.makes people feel uncomfortable五、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In the United States elementary educ
26、ation begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of educa
27、tion were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea
28、 that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociabl
29、e in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to he
30、lp one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children _.（分数：2.00）A.sensible and sensitiveB.competitive and interestedC.curious and friendlyD.happy and co-operative(2).Some American
31、s complain about elementary schools because they think _.（分数：2.00）A.children are reluctant to help each otherB.schools lay too much emphasis on co-operationC.children should grow up with competitive ideasD.schools give little actual instruction to children(3).The author“s attitude towards American e
32、ducation can be best described as _.（分数：2.00）A.favorableB.negativeC.tolerantD.unfriendly(4).The American educational system emphasizes _.（分数：2.00）A.material wealthB.competitionC.co-operationD.personal benefit(5).The word “sociable“ (Paragraph2) most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.fond of talking freely
33、B.friendly with other peopleC.concerned about social welfareD.happy at school六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When an art museum wants a new exhibit, it buys things in finished form and hangs them on its walls. When a natural history museum wants an exhibit, it often must build it realistically-from a
34、mass of material and evidence brought together by careful research. An animal, for example, must first be skinned. Photographs and measurements are used to determine the animal“s structure in a natural position-fighting, resting, or feeding. Then muscle forms are built and a plaster shell is made. F
35、inally the skin is pulled over the shell like a wet glove. This completes the animal subject. Displaying such things as stone heads, giant trees, and meteorites is basically mechanical. Most other natural history exhibits present more difficult problems. For instance, how can a creature be exhibited
36、 when it is too small to be seen clearly? In these cases, larger-than-life models are built. The American Museum of Natural History has models of fleas, houseflies, and many other insects enlarged up to seventy-four times. The models show the stages of the insects“ development and the workings of th

39、n Animal SubjectB.Problems of Exhibiting Natural HistoryC.Natural HistoryD.Building a Museum Exhibit(5).Which of the following is implied?（分数：2.00）A.Nothing in a natural history museum is alive.B.Some creatures cannot be displayed.C.Meteorites come from outer space.D.Natural history exhibits often m
