Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 30 In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point t
26、hat any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member“ were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stressit only
27、shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the rep
28、orts. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Womens magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness.“ If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful event
29、s are dangerous, manylike the death of a loved oneare impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方 ) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would
30、never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes were all vulnerable (脆弱的 ) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境 ). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of
31、 stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain. 31 The result of Holmes-Rahes medical research tells us_. （ A） the way you handle major events may cause stress （ B） what s
32、hould be done to avoid stress （ C） what kind of event would cause stress （ D） how to cope with sudden changes in life 32 The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to_. （ A） widespread concern over its harmful effects （ B） great panic over the mental disorder it could cause （ C） an intensive resea
33、rch into stress-related illnesses （ D） popular avoidance of stressful jobs 33 The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows_. （ A） how much pressure you are under （ B） how positive events can change you life （ C） how stressful a major event can be （ D） how you can deal with life-changing events 33 Some of
34、 the most popular attractions across America are the many free concerts offered to the public throughout the year. These involve not only amateur performers, but professional artists as well. The public parks of many cities across the country usually have bandstands and large lawns. As a service to
35、citizens, they rent out space to performers free of charge. Amateur groups, with nothing more than a desire to perform, offer their talents freely to the public. Semi-professional artists are pleased to get the chance to perform before the public to perfect their craft and nurture the hope of being
36、discovered before beginning a professional career. Famous professionals also give free concerts to make contact with their admiring fans. Often such concerts are sponsored by a large corporate organization and offered to the public free of charge as a cultural service and support for the arts. The f
37、ree concerts feature all kinds of music from rock and roll, jazz, country-western to the classics. In addition, free performances may include the plays of Shakespeare or experimental theater of modern dramatists. In New Yorks Central Park there has long been a summer Shakespeare festival which draws
38、 huge crowds to the free performances. Of these concerts the ones held on a summer evening in the park are the most popular. They take on a festive air. Friends and groups gather together after work and spread out a blanket on the lawn facing the performers stage. The early comers get the best locat
39、ions and enjoy a picnic supper while it is still daylight. The free seating is on a first come basis. Therefore, by the time the concert begins, as many as five thousand or more people may be in attendance. The concerts usually begin at 8 p. m. and are performed under the stars. The sound is made su
40、fficiently loud so that no matter where one chooses to sit, he can hear very well. The only disturbance may be the sound of an overhead airplane on its final approach to an airport or the far-off siren (警笛声 ) of all ambulance on its way to the hospital. This matters little! What counts is to soak up
41、 the atmosphere created by the music and to be with friends in the flesh open air. The best part of it all is that its free! 34 Many American parks give free concerts on their lawns because they_. （ A） have the necessary facilities （ B） can attract more visitors （ C） want to serve the public （ D） ar
42、e in a position to invite musicians 35 The concerts in parks are often financially supported by_. （ A） the parks themselves （ B） big organizations （ C） professional musicians （ D） music fans 36 For semi-professional artists, performing before the public is a good chance_. （ A） to improve themselves
43、in their career （ B） to help train amateur performers （ C） to make friends with superstars （ D） to get involved in profitable business 37 The concerts can attract so many people mainly because_. （ A） the attendants dont have to pay （ B） the seating is on a first come basis （ C） they provide free pic
44、nic supper （ D） they are held in the open air 38 The phrase “soak up“ in the last paragraph probably means_. （ A） absorb （ B） warm up （ C） enjoy （ D） use up 38 It is hard to track the blue whale, the oceans largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as
45、 an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior. So biologists were delighted early this year when with the help of the Navy they were able to track a particular blue whale for 33 days monitoring its s
46、ounds. This was possible because of the Navys formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans. Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global n
47、etwork of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies. Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption (爆发 ) for the first time and that they plan similar studies
48、. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a secondslower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean wate
49、r can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器 ) does when it carries faint noises from a patients chest to a doctors ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles. 39 The passage is chiefly about_. （ A） an effort to protect an endangered
