Answer the q
22、uestions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 37 Meals around the family are less common today than in the past. As a result of small families and working wives, more than half of all Americans eat more than haft their meals away from homes. The main advantages
23、 of this new pattern of American eating are the fast food chains where edible things roll out like car parts on an assembly line. The fast food industry has been growing at a rate of 15 percent a year. Pizza has become a staple(主食 ), and the hamburger billions sold annually has replaced the hot dog
24、as the American national dish. In addition to pizza and hamburger, American appetites are regularly whetted by such fast food as fried fish and chicken, French fries, onion tings, soft drinks and shakes. Many of these foods have been attacked by nutritionists and public health physicians because the
25、y are high in fat and sugar. But no matter what is said about them by health professionals, the 140 000 fast food companies and shops are likely to continue to prosper and multiply because they are fast, inexpensive, attractive to youngsters and lets be honest millions like the taste of whats dished
26、 up. The main problem with most fast food meals is that theyre not nutritionally balanced. Those of pizza, chicken or beef usually contain more than enough protein for a child or adult for one meal. But for the number of calories they provide generally more than a third of an adults daily requiremen
27、ts, they tend to oversupply you with fats and salt and to undersupply you with vitamins A and C, several B vitamins and iron. While pizza is one of the better, balanced fast foods, with plenty of protein and less fat than other types of meals, it is especially high in salt content, a negative factor
28、 for those who are easy to develop high blood pressure. Fast food meals are also sadly deficient in vegetables(except potatoes) and fruit. Thus a good rule of thumb is to eat salad, vegetables and fruit with your other meals on the days when you eat fast food. Selecting a nutritious drink at a fast
29、food restaurant is often difficult. Milk and fruit juice( not fruit drink), if on the menu are probably the best choices. Another pitfall(隐藏的危险 ) is French fried potatoes. As they come from the ground, potatoes are a nutritional bargain low in fat, high in desirable complex carbohydrates. But when f
30、ried in deep fat, potatoes become a high fat, high calorie food. A typical fast food serving of fries contains 200 or more calories, too many of them fat calories. 38 The authors purpose in writing this article is to _. （ A） describe the new pattern of American eating （ B） show why the fast food ind
31、ustry has been growing fast （ C） list the most popular fast foods （ D） present some facts and guidelines to help consumers choose wisely from the fast foods available 39 According to the passage, a suggested way to balance a fast food meal is to _. （ A） eat salad, vegetables and fruit during other m
32、eals （ B） eat salad, vegetables and fruit with fast foods （ C） put some potatoes on your hamburger （ D） select a nutritious drink 40 What is the tone of the passage about fast foods? （ A） Subjective. （ B） Objective. （ C） Exaggerated. （ D） Argumentative. 41 Which of the following is TRUE? （ A） Since
33、fast foods have less nutrition, people should try their best not to eat them. （ B） The fast food industry is taking advantage of small families with working wives. （ C） Fast foods taste good though they have too much fat. （ D） Since Americans are faced with a growing fast food industry, they should
34、remember some basic facts about it. 42 The word “whetted“ in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_“. （ A） attracted （ B） spoiled （ C） guided （ D） cheated 42 There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give child
35、ren something to do. In the ancient world, as in today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true
36、 because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world. What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of
37、craftsmanship, mechanics and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the America, China, Japan and among the Arctic pole, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variation
38、s depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles. Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that cha
39、racterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the ox cart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent(进步 ). The progress from a rattle (波浪鼓 ) used by a baby in 3000 B. C. to one used by an infant to day, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product
40、 of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials. 43 The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that _. （ A） their social roles are rigidly determined （ B） most boys would like to follow their fathers profess
41、ions （ C） boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers （ D） they like challenging activities 44 One aspect of “the universality of toys“ lies in the fact that _. （ A） technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toys （ B） the improvement of craftsmanship in m
42、aking toys depends on the efforts of universities （ C） the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys （ D） the basic characteristics of toys are the same over the world 45 Which of the following is the authors view on the historical development of toys? （ A） The craftsm
43、anship in toy-making has remained essentially unchanged. （ B） Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries. （ C） The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years. （ D） Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a childs character. 46 Regarde
44、d as a kind of art form, toys _. （ A） follow a direct line of ascent （ B） also appeal greatly to adults （ C） are not characterized by technological progress （ D） reflect the pace of social progress 47 The author uses the example of a rattle to show that _. （ A） in toy-making there is a continuity in
45、 the use of materials （ B） even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology （ C） it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-making （ D） even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the times 47 Pigs have always had a bad press. Such expressions as “piggish“,
46、“pig-headed“, “buy pig-in-a-poke“, “hog-wash“, “hog-wild“ and “hog-heaven“ suggest how low is their esteem. Several religions proscribe(排斥 ) the animal entirely. Pigs have been around for 35 million years and the pigs brain is thought to be inferior only to those of primates (灵长目动物 ) and dolphins. B
47、ecause people and pigs have similar digestive, cardiovascular(心血管的 ) and respiratory systems, they suffer from many of the same illnesses. Pigs are extensively used in medical laboratory experiments for the benefit of humans and they also supply some body substances and parts for humans. Pigs have s
48、erved mankind mainly as food. Pigs can live from 12 to 15 years but are slaughtered at seven months. The selective breeding of pigs caused them to lose their natural immunities(免疫力 ) and they must be given shots to ward off diseases. Pigs are relatively clean when given the opportunity, can be house
49、-broken, are affectionate, and communicative. Some people have adopted a pig as a pet and a few pigs have become famous. Perhaps the pig is gaining a new respect thanks to movie and TV antics of Porky Pig and Miss Piggy. “Pigs are beautiful“ is the motto of porcine(像猪的 )pet owners and members in 22 states and five nations, and each is the booster(支持者 ) of pet pigs. 48 The author of this article maintains _. （ A） pigs
