20、nnot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Men also need more oxygen because they do not breathe as often as women. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. When the air is polluted, they draw more of it into their lungs. A more
21、recent and chilling finding is the effect of automobile and truck exhaust fumes on childrens intelligence. These exhaust fumes are the greatest source of lead pollution in cities. Researchers have found that the children with the highest concentration of lead in their bodies have the lowest scores o
22、n intelligence tests and that boys score lower than girls. It is possible that these low scores are connected to the deeper breathing that is typical of the male. Mens bones are larger than womens and they are arranged somewhat differently. The feminine walk that evokes so many whistles is a matter
23、of bone structure. Men have broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis, which enables them to stride out with no waste motion. A womans wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of a jiggle and sway as she w
24、alks. If you think a man is brave because he climbs a ladder to clean out the roof gutters, dont forget that it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a womans thigh is joined to her knees makes climbing awkward for her, no matter whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that s
25、he is tackling. A mans skin is thicker than a womans and not nearly as soft. The thickness prevents the suns radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women also stay cooler in summer. The fat layer helps insulate them against heat. Mens fat is distributed differen
26、tly. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more lean mass. Forty-one percent of a mans body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means men have more muscle power. When it comes to strength, almost 90
27、 percent of a mans weight is strength compared to about 50 percent of womans weight. The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound that fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man goes on a diet, the pounds roll off much
28、 faster. For all mens muscularity they do not have the energy reserves women do. They have more start-up energy, but the fat tucked away in womens nooks and crannies provides a rich energy reserve that men lack. Cardiologists at the University of Alabama who tested healthy women in treadmills discov
29、ered that over years the female capacity for exercise far exceeds the male capacity. A woman of sixty who is in good health can exercise up to 90 percent of what she could do when she was twenty. A man of sixty has 60 percent left of his capacity as a twenty-year-old. 45 The main topic of this passa
30、ge is about the_between men and women. 46 As for the difference on bones, men are superior to women in the situation of_. 47 It is implied that j_is slower in a healthy woman than a healthy man. 48 We can infer that men fall ill more often than women because of_. 49 It can be concluded from the sixt
31、h passage that men have more_than women. 49 Named after an ex-Governor of New South Wales, Sydney is the States capital city. Located on the south-east coast of Australia in the temperate zone, it enjoys a mild climate, averaging 14.5 hours of sunshine per day in summer and 10. 25 hours in winter. I
32、t is also the largest, oldest, and perhaps most beautifully situated city in Australia. First established by the British as a convict settlement in 1788, it is a modern cosmopolitan city that has developed into one of the nations major industrial, business, and manufacturing centres. Sydney is home
33、to nearly 4. 4 million people(as of 1997). The suburbs reach out from the city centre and harbour some 55 km to the north, 35 km to the west and 30 km to the south, creating a metropolitan area of about 3 ,000 square kilometres. The 57 square kilometre harbour is one of the largest in the world, and
34、 famous for the unmistakable 134 metre high arch of the Harbour Bridge and the graceful sails of the Opera House. It is a busy waterway with ferries, freighters, hydrofoils and pleasure craft. Not far from the city centre are the attractive old residential suburbs of Balmain, Glebe, and Paddington,
35、where many people live in smart terraced houses. Art galleries, pubs, and restaurants abound in the cosy streets that tend to be quite narrow, whereas the suburbs surrounding the citys colleges and universities consist mainly of family homes and multi-unit blocks an ideal situation for students look
36、ing for a homestay, or to rent. Sydneys newer suburbs now have a large multicultural population, and local shopping centres reflect the influences of many cultures. As well as scores of cinemas and theatres throughout the city and suburbs, there are numerous clubs which appeal to people of all ages,
37、 and cater for all tastes. Pubs are the venue for smaller modern hands, while the big-name popular music artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge Entertainment Centre in the heart of the city. In Sydney, a vast array of ethnic and local restaurants can be found t
38、o suit all palates and pockets. In summer, car patrons often sit outside at tables under umbrellas, and enjoy the passing parade of shoppers. Students who prefer to cook at home can choose from several large weekend markets, where fresh fruit, fish, and vegetables may be bought more cheaply than at
39、the local supermarket. Sydney also has its own Chinatown. In the heart of the city are several big department stores linked by enclosed over-the-street crossings and underground walkways. Most noticeable are the towering Centrepoint complex and the Queen Victoria Building, both containing many shopp
40、ing arcades, coffee shops and restaurants. Out of town, in the suburbs, there are huge regional shopping centres. At the weekend markets, bargains can be had when shopping for clothing as well as for a wide range of assorted goods. Australia is recognised as one of the most sports-conscious nations
41、in the world. Sydney boasts an impressive number of facilities for all types of indoor and outdoor sporting activities. Wherever one goes, there are golf courses, cricket pitches, football ovals, tennis and squash courts, and, of course, indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Avid ice-skating and ten-pi
42、n bowling fans will find that these activities are also popular and inexpensive. Whatever a student is interested in, it is certain to be available somewhere in Sydney. Outside the colleges and universities the scope for filling the leisure hours is enormous, while on campus the choice is equally va
43、ried. 50 What was Sydney first established into in 1788? 51 On the narrow streets of Paddington, what kinds of houses are there? 52 Who attract large audiences at the huge Entertainment Centre? 53 What are some department stores in Sydney joined by? 54 Give an example to show that Australians are sp
44、orts-minded people. 54 As the worlds urban population gets bigger, cities are struggling to provide the basic services that their residents need. One of the most pressing problems is public transport. Now lets look at the crisis facing the city of London. In no time in history has there been such a
45、mass migration of people from countryside to city as is happening now. By the year 2030, its estimated that more than two thirds of the worlds population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, pov
46、erty, and lack of food and water will be twice as bad in the this century, unless we find solutions soon. Another crucial issue facing cities today is how to provide good transport links to service the commercial, cultural and leisure needs of their inhabitants. Today, many of the worlds major citie
47、s are already struggling to cope with out-of-date transport infrastructures. How they will cope with the additional demands placed on them has not yet been addressed. London is a good example of the problems facing many major urban centres. It was the worlds first megacity and the first with a popul
48、ation of a million people. Its expansion was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which, among other things, powered the worlds first underground railway. Today, London has one of the worlds most extensive transport systems. But, because it was the first city to build a railway networ
49、k, much of the infrastructure the trains and buses, the tracks and tunnels is now hopelessly out-of-date, and needs urgent modernization. Londons future success depends very much on transport. The city lies at the heart of Britains road and rail networks and problems in London can rapidly affect other areas of the country. On an average morning, over ground trains b
