20、brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 An unidentified wit once said, “laugh, and the world laughs with you. Snore, and you sleep alone. “ Yet snoring is far from a laughing matter, as those unfortunates with good hearing, who are rightly subjected to the sounds of the snoring disorder, w
21、ill testify. It has been estimated that one of eight Americans snores: this means that there are approximately 21 million people women as well as men who render an unpleasant sound when they are asleep. And assuming that each snorer disturbs the sleep of at least one other person, it necessarily fol
22、lows that there are 21 million unhappy listeners. While a sleeping person breathes, either in or out, several structures in his nose and throat generate the snoring. The sounds, coming from the soft palate and other soft structures of the throat, are caused by vibratory responses to inflowing and ou
23、tflowing air. When the soft tissues of the mouth and throat come close to the lining of the throat, the vibrations that occur are caused by the position of the tongue. In short, the noise made by snoring can be compared to the noise when breezes flutter a flag on a pole. The frequency of the vibrati
24、ons depends on the size, density, and elasticity of the affected tissues and on the force of the air flow. Although it is usually the process of in haling or exhaling through the mouth that cause snoring,short snores come from the nose of an open-mouthed sleeper. In all fairness to snorers, however,
25、 it should be emphasized that snoring is an involuntary out which stops as the offender is awakened. 21 The snoring is caused by _. （ A） the soft palate and other structures of the throat （ B） the inflowing and outflowing air through the nose （ C） the inflowing and outflowing air through mouth （ D）
26、the vibrations as a result of the inflowing and outflowing air 22 If a person produces short snores, most probably he has_. （ A） a soft palate （ B） a big nose （ C） an open mouth （ D） a small throat 23 The authors attitude towards the snorers is _. （ A） objective （ B） subjective （ C） sympathetic （ D）
27、 annoyed 23 Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿 ) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William
28、 Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫 ) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm
29、. Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes mor
30、e than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same sever
31、e problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-years study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects. So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-servi
32、ce provision,emotional support and other more physiological(生理的 ) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life.People in supportive relationships may handle stress better.Then there
33、are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner. A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected. “ 24 William Fan
34、s study and other studies show that_. （ A） social life provides an effective cure for illness （ B） being sociable helps improve ones quality of life （ C） women benefit more than men from marriage （ D） marriage contributes a great deal to longevity 25 Linda Waites studies support the idea that_. （ A）
35、 older men should quit smoking to stay healthy （ B） marriage can help make up for ill health （ C） the married are happier than the unmarried （ D） unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life 26 It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side“ (Line 4, Para. 2) refers to_. （ A） the dis
36、advantages of being married （ B） the emotional problems arising from marriage （ C） the responsibility of taking care of ones family （ D） the consequence of a broken marriage 27 What does the author say about social networks? （ A） They have effects similar to those of a marriage. （ B） They help devel
37、op peoples community spirit. （ C） They provide timely support for those in need. （ D） They help relieve people of their lifes burdens. 28 What can be inferred from the last paragraph? （ A） Its important that we develop a social network when young. （ B） To stay healthy, one should have a proper socia
38、l network. （ C） Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span. （ D） We should share our social networks with each other. 28 Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh. The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21.Hund
39、reds more are missing or feared dead. The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country. The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferr
40、ies, MV Mitali, was carrying far more people than it was supposed to. About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300, police said the second ferry carried about 100 passengers.“The number of deaths is certain to rise,“ said an official in charge of the rescue work. “ No one really knows
41、how many people were on board or how many of them survived. “ Ferries in Bangladesh dont always keep passenger lists, making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board. Besides the ferry accidents, at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses
42、 and trees and the sinking of small boats. Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents. Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people. Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in
43、 boats and not enough checks on weather conditions. Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh. It is a country covered by about 230 rivers. Some 20, 000 ferries use the nations waterways (水路 ) every year. And many of them are dangerously overcrowded (过度拥挤 ). Since 1977, more than 3, 000
44、people have died in some 260 boating accidents. 29 How many people have been found dead in the two ferry disasters? （ A） More than 130. （ B） Over 3,000. （ C） About 400. （ D） At least 40. 30 The two ferry disasters occurred_. （ A） at noon （ B） in the morning （ C） at night （ D） in the afternoon 31 How
45、 many passengers were MV Mitali designed to carry? （ A） 440 （ B） 100 （ C） 400 （ D） 300 32 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the boating accidents? （ A） Strong winds. （ B） Bad weather conditions. （ C） Blockage of waterways. （ D） Lack of safety measures. 33 Which of the following s
46、tatements is NOT true of the two ferry disasters? （ A） They traveled during the April-May stormy season. （ B） They sank on April 21. （ C） The exact number of deaths could be easily determined. （ D） They sank somewhere near Dhaka. 34 What is the passage mainly talking about? （ A） The reason which cau
47、sed the disasters. （ B） The bad weather conditions in Bangladesh. （ C） Ferries are common means of transport. （ D） The bad effects of the two ferry disasters in Bangladesh. 34 In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义 ) management in which man beco
48、mes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations“ experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in
49、 his work and that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management. The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and die without ev
