You should make the correct choice. 27 It is clear that some people who participate in exercise training will develop injuries to their bones, muscles, and joi
15、nts(关节 ). Despite unfounded reports in the mass media of extremely high injury rates among adult exercisers, there have been few good studies of exercise injuries in populations. One of the difficulties in performing such studies has been the need to identify both the number of cases and the number
16、of people at risk for injury. In other words, it is difficult to know the number of individuals injured and the total number of individuals exercising in the population. But these two figures are necessary in order to calculate(统计 ) true injury rates. Normally, injury is defined as an accident that
17、causes a person to stop exercising for at leasl one week. The best available studies on injury rates show that about 25 to 30 percent of adult runners become “injured“ (based on the above definition) over the course of a year, More serious injuries include those for which the injured person seeks me
18、dical care. If only they are considered, injury rates are much lower, perhaps in the range of 1 percent per year. Little is known about the causes of exercise injuries. One factor that has been linked to injury is the amount of exercise; for example, individuals who run more miles are likelier to be
19、 injured than those who run fewer miles. Factors such as age, sex, body type, and experience have not been shown to be associated with risk of injury. It seems logical that structural abnormalities, sudden increases in training intensity, and types of equipment used are likely to be related to injur
20、y risk. However, data to support these opinions are not available. 27 What is the writers attitude towards high injury rates among adult exercisers reported by the mass media? ( A) Positive. ( B) Indifferent. ( C) Negative. ( D) Reserved 28 The true injury rates are obtained from ( A) the average nu
21、mber of injuries for each individual ( B) the amount of exercises for each individual ( C) the numbers of the injured and all individuals in training ( D) the numbers of people doing exercises and those stopped exercises for one week 29 Which of the following is NOT shown as the factor for causing e
22、xercise injuries? ( A) The amount of exercise. ( B) The age, sex and body type. ( C) Structural abnormalities. ( D) The sudden increases in training intensity. 30 The factors that arc in relation to exercises injuries ( A) have been obtained from many good studies ( B) have been confirmed by many da
23、ta ( C) cannot confirm the risk of equipment types ( D) can be proved easily by the data through calculation 31 The passage is mainly about _. ( A) the high injury rates for those doing exercises ( B) the ways to avoid exercise injuries ( C) the evidences for the seriousness of exercise injuries ( D
24、) the studies about injury rates and causes for injuries Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 32 Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport (excluding vehicles, sh
25、ips and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimate to have risen by
26、8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to
27、increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building. Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capital personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963 . The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unalt
28、ered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance
29、, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all k
30、inds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation(饱和 ) point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, wh
31、ereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets Were registered. 32 The author thinks that the trend towards a rapid rise in consumption was “undesirable“ because_.

( A) food ( B) automobiles ( C) education ( D) entertainment 34 It can be inferred from the increase of fruit consumption that _ ( A) people had to spend more on transportation and furniture ( B) people were more wealth conscious ( C) people were mor
33、e money conscious ( D) the price of fruit dropped dramatically 35 The word “registered“ in the last line most probably means _. ( A) marked ( B) approached ( C) listed ( D) booked 36 From this passage, we learn that the people _. ( A) spent more money than they earned ( B) saved more money than prev
