A number of fitness spas existed prior (35) this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However, thei

These fitness (38) did not seem to benefit financially from the (39) fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that

24、hoosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 51 Leaving the regions economic woes behind, more young Asians than ever are going to America to get their MBAs. Fortune ranks the 25 schools that do the best job of training Asias future managers. Those that made our list not only have numb
25、er one academics but also offer scholastic, career, and cultural supports that meet the needs of Asian students. This explains why many of our top schools are in California, which has closer links with Asia, through immigration and economics, than any other states. Most of the Fortune 25 have establ
26、ished reputations in Asia and have developed formal links with Asian institutions. Today 260,000 Asiansdefined as citizens from China, Japan, Korea, and the nations of the subcontinent and Southeast Asiaare getting graduate degrees in the U.S. Of these, 16% are enrolled in business. The rewards for
27、graduating MBAs are substantial, with American multinationals offering the best positions. MBAs graduating from top American schools can look forward to $75,000 stalling salaries, up to $20,000 in signing bonuses, plenty of extra moneyand interesting work. The market for the skills of Asian MBAs is
28、expanding. Despite Asias economic turmoil, Western firms continue to come into the region. They are desperate to hire people with managerial talent and knowledge of local culture. For example, McKinsey they occurred in people taking doses thought to be correct. Dosing guidelines generally tend to be
29、 too high because they are based on studies conducted in limited numbers of patients by drug companies when they are seeking approval for new products. For those studies to run efficiently, doses need to be high enough to show as quickly as possible that the drug works. But later, after the drug is
30、approved, far more people take it, sometimes along with other drugs, and individual differences begin to show up. Yet, that information does not always make it into the PDR, and it is not well taught in medical school, Cohen said. Dr. Cohen cautioned that patients should not begin tinkering with dos
31、es pf prescription drugs on their own. He said they needed to work with doctors to adjust the doses safely. With some drugs, doses cannot be changed. And in emergencies, he said, it is always safest to stick with recommended doses. 61 In what way did Dr. Cohen help explain why so many Americans die
32、of drug reactions? （ A） He found out the mistakes of PDR. （ B） He lowered the drug doses in treating patients. （ C） He used different doses according to individuals. （ D） He suggested medical schools teach the importance of lowering doses. 62 What kind of adverse reactions may the doses recommended
33、by PDR cause? （ A） Nausea, death and high cholesterol. （ B） Nausea, dizziness and insomnia. （ C） Nausea, death and high blood pressure. （ D） Nausea, dizziness and death. 63 We may infer from the text that_ （ A） drug companies are not responsible for its drugs. （ B） medical doctors should not follow
34、PDR. mechanically. （ C） Dr. Cohen is a sceptic. （ D） side effect should not be neglected. 64 In the last paragraph, the phrase “tinkering with“ may be replaced by_ （ A） trifling with. （ B） concurring with. （ C） fiddling with. （ D） playing with. 65 What is the main message of the text? （ A） More than
35、 100,000 Americans were killed by drug reactions. （ B） PDR should be revised. （ C） Lowering drug doses may cut side effects. （ D） Medical schools should teach individualized dosing. Part B Directions: In the following article some paragraphs have been removed. For Questions 66-70, choose the most su
36、itable paragraph from the list A-F to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 66 Its 1997, and its raining and youll have to walk to work again. Any given subway train breaks down one morning out of five.
37、The buses are gone, and on a day like today, bicycles slosh and slide. Luckily you have a job in demolition. Its slow and dirty work but steady. The fading structures of a decaying city are the great mineral mines and hardware shops of the nation. Break them down and reuse the parts. Coal is too dif
38、ficult to dig up and transport to give us energy in the amounts we need, nuclear fission is judged to be too dangerous, the technical breakthrough toward nuclear fusion that we hoped for never took place, and solar batteries are too expensive to maintain on the earths surface in sufficient quantity.
39、 66._. There are many advantages, if you want to look for them. Our 1997 newspapers continually point them out. The air is cleaner and there seem to be fewer colds. Against predictions, the crime rate has dropped. With the police car too expensive (and too easy a target), policemen are back on their
40、 beats. More important, the streets are full. Legs are king in the cities of 1997, and people walk everywhere far into the night. Even the parks are full, and there is mutual protection in crowds. If the weather isnt too cold, people sit out front. If it is hot, the open air is the only air-conditio
41、ning they get. And at least the street lights still burn. Indoors, electricity is scarce, and few people can afford to keep lights burning after supper. 67._. There is some consolation in the city that it is worse in the suburbs. The suburbs were born with the auto, lived with the auto, and are dyin
42、g with the auto. One way out for the suburbanites is to form associations that assign turns to the procurement and distribution of food. Pushcarts creak from house to house along the suburban roads, and every bad snow-storm is a disaster. It isnt easy to hoard enough food to last till the roads are
43、open. There is not much in the way of refrigeration except for the snowbanks, and then the dogs must be fought off. 68._. And then, of course, energy must be conserved for agriculture. The great car factories make trucks and farm machinery almost exclusively. We can huddle together when there is a l
44、ack of warmth, fan ourselves should there be no cooling breezes, sleep or make love at such times as there is a lack of lightbut nothing will for long ameliorate a lack of food. The American population isnt going up much any more, but the food supply must be kept high even though the prices and diff
45、iculty of distribution force each American to eat less. Food is needed for export so that we can pay for some trickle of oil and for other resources. 69._. All the statistics point to a rapidly declining rate of population increase, but that is coming about chiefly through a high infant mortality; t
46、he first and most helpless victims of starvation are babies, after their mothers have gone dry. A strong current of American opinion, as reflected in the newspapers (some of which still produce their eight pages of bad news), holds that it is just as well. It serves to reduce the population, doesnt
47、it? Others point out that its more than just starvation. There are those who manage to survive on barely enough to keep the body working, and that proves to be not enough for the brain. It is estimated that there are now nearly 2 billion people in the world who are alive but who are permanently brai
48、n-damaged by undernutrition, and the number is growing year by year. It has already occurred to some that it would be “realistic“ to wipe them out quietly and rid the earth of an encumbering menace. The American newspapers of 1997 do not report that this is actually being done anywhere, but some tra
49、velers bring back horror-tales. 70._. Energy continues to decline, and machines must be replaced by human muscle and beasts of burden. People are working longer hours and there is less leisure; but then, with electric lighting restricted, television for only three hours a night, movies three evenings a week, new books few and printed in small editions, what is there to do with leisure? Work, sleep and eating are the great trinity of 1997, and only the first two are guaranteed. A. At least the armies are goneno one can afford to ke
