27、ction A 55 The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like
28、to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we
29、want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenage
30、r may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this t
31、ext to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choice. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo dre
32、w a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should re
33、flect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity. 56 The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because_. （ A） personal health choices help cure most illnesses （ B） it helps raise the level of our medical knowledge （ C） i
34、t is essential to personal freedom in American society （ D） wrong decisions could lead to poor health 57 To “live a completely sedentary life-style“(Para. 1 , Line 7)in the passage means_. （ A） to live an inactive life （ B） to live a decent life （ C） to live a life with complete freedom （ D） to live
35、 a life of vice 58 90% of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon_. 59 To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to_. 60 According to Fries and Crapo_should be based on a statistical probability of
36、 increased vitality and longevity. Section B 60 Would you like to orbit the Earth inside the International Space Station? Now you can take a space holidayfor a price. This is due to a recent decision by top space officials of the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan and the European Space Agency. La
37、st April, American businessman Dennis Tito reportedly paid between twelve-million and twenty-million dollars to spend one week on the International Space Station. NASA had strongly objected to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle. After two years of negotiations , spa
38、ce officials have agreed on a process to train private citizens to take trips to the International Space Station. NASA recently agreed to conditions that will permit Russia to sell trips to the space station. The trips are planned by an American company called Space Adventures Limited of Arlington,
39、Virginia. The company calls itself “ the worlds leading space tourism company. “ The company has sold a space trip to Mark Shuttleworth, a South African businessman. In April, Mister Shuttle-worth will be launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Yet, the average citizen will n
40、ot be able to travel into space in the near future. Space Adventures Limited sells a training program for space flight that costs two-hundred-thousand dollars. That price does not include the cost of the trip to the International Space Station. That holiday in space costs twenty-million dollars. Can
41、didates for adventure space travel trips must be in excellent health and must pass difficult health tests. They must receive a lot of training and all successful candidates who wish to travel to the International Space Station must be able to read and speak English. 61 How much did American business
42、man Dennis Tito pay to spend one week on the International Space Station? 62 Why Mark Shuttleworth, a South African businessman, is mentioned in the passage? 63 NASA did not object to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE 64 Space Adventures Limit
43、ed of Arlington, Virginia, has sold a space trip to Mark Shuttleworth, a South African businessman. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE 65 There are no requirements for the candidates for adventure space travel trips. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE Section C 65 There are cockroaches(蟑螂 )everywhere on Earth except the places
44、 that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3 , 500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat. It is very difficult to catch mo
45、st cockroaches. They “see“ with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety. Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the
46、German, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months! Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases.(69)They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as the
47、y eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital. Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is importa
48、nt that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared. (70)Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches “learn“ how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most
49、 poisons or “learn“ how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us. It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here.
