32、biological factors identified as improving life expectancy. The explanation given was that married people tend to take fewer risks with their health and enjoy better mental and emotional health. Marriage also provides more social and material support.The difference between married people and single
33、people, in terms of health, is narrowing. To really understand this, we have to be precise about terms. Researchers typically distinguish between never married, currently married, widowed and divorced. As we look in-depth into this issue of marriage and health, well see that things get pretty Ufuzzy
34、/U nowadays.No one is saying that having a piece of paper that says “married“ on it is going to improve your life expectancy. There is something about people who live in marriage that improves life expectancyor to be more precise, there was something about people who lived in marriage in the 70s tha
35、t was found to improve life expectancy. Now, people could be listed as “single never married“ in census data, but be living with someone and be experiencing all the health benefits of marriage without having the marriage certificate. This complicates research on marriage and health.Even using the tr
36、aditional categories of “currently married“ or “never married,“ singles are catching up, but only men. Men who were never married typically had the lowest life expectancy (in 1972). Now, the never married men are closing in on their currently married counterparts. The difference in life expectancy i
37、s becoming smaller because that single men now have access to support and health resources that only came because their wife took care of them. In other words, in the 1970s, married men had the advantage because they had their wives to make sure they went to the doctor and took care of themselves. N
38、ow, men are taking more responsibility for their own health and take action.Compared to 1972, people who are widowed now report poorer health than their married counterparts. In the 70s, they reported their health as the same as married people, now their health is about 7% worse. No one really knows
39、 why widowhood is more damaging to health now than in the 70s. My guess is that widowed people in the 70s had more of a community and extended family to help them out. Now, the widowed are more likely to be isolated.（分数：6.00）(1).Paragraph 1 is concerned with _. A. the benefit of marriage to health B
40、. various definitions of marriage C. the disadvantages of marriage D. misconceptions about marriage（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The underlined word “fuzzy“ in Paragraph 2 probably means _.

41、rriage can live to an old age B. partnership can also contribute to life expectancy C. we know clearly how marriage contributes to health D. a marriage certificate is a guarantee of good health（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that _. A. single females are as healthy as singl
42、e males B. there are as many single men as married ones C. single males are financially better off than before D. single men can also enjoy long life expectancy（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).For the widowed, the finding described in the last paragraph seems to be _. A. bad news B. good news C. a pleasant surp

A. remaining single is of greater benefit to life expectancy than marriage B. marriage doesnt contribute as much to life expectancy as it used to C. the longer you stay married, the longer your life expectancy D
44、. it is increasingly difficult to give a precise definition of marriage（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.十三、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)For decades, American society has been moving toward a complete ban on smoking tobacco. Since about the mid-20th century, when scientific studies revealing the drugs devastating effec
45、ts on the human body were made public, public policy and social attitudes have shifted more and more against tobacco. This is something to my taste.But in executing its well-intentioned ban on consuming tobacco products on University of California campuses, the university administrations prohibition
46、 of e-cigarettes is a step too far. These means of taking in tobacco can help get smokers off conventional cigarettes, and theres no conclusive proof that there are negative effects for bystanders. Simply put, e-cigarettes shouldnt affect people who havent made the decision to put themselves at risk.Its also a point of contention as to how harmful e-cigarettes even are to oneself. Boston University professor Michael Siegel, who advocates banning cigarettes, doesnt believe we should restrict e-cigarettes the same way we do “conventional“ cigarettes, according to the East Bay Express.
