Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make th
14、e correct choice. 26 It is clear that some people who participate in exercise training will develop injuries to their bones, muscles, and joints(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 injur
15、ies in populations. One of the difficulties in performing such studies has been the need to identify both the number of cases and the number 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 p
16、opulation. But these two figures are necessary in order to calculate(统计 ) true injury rates. Normally, injury is defined as an accident that causes a person to stop exercising for at least one week. The best available studies on injury rates show that about 25 to 30 percent of adult runners become “
17、injured“ (based on the above definition) over the course of a year. More serious injuries include those for which the injured person seeks medical 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
18、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 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
19、 logical that structural abnormalities, sudden increases in training intensity, and types of equipment used are likely to be related to injury risk. However, data to support these opinions are not available. 26 What is the writers attitude towards high injury rates among adult exercisers reported by
20、 the mass media? （ A） Positive. （ B） Indifferent. （ C） Negative. （ D） Reserved. 27 The true injury rates are obtained from （ A） the average number 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
21、 numbers of people doing exercises and those stopped exercises for one week 28 Which of the following is NOT shown as the factor for causing exercise injuries? （ A） The amount of exercise. （ B） The age, sex and body type. （ C） Structural abnormalities. （ D） The sudden increases in training intensity
22、. 29 The factors that are in relation to exercises injuries （ A） have been obtained from many good studies （ B） have been confirmed by many data （ C） cannot confirm the risk of equipment types （ D） can be proved easily by the data through calculation 30 The passage is mainly about _. （ A） the high i
23、njury rates for those doing exercises （ B） the ways to avoid exercise injuries （ C） the evidences for the seriousness of exercise injuries （ D） the studies about injury rates and causes for injuries Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.

24、ered 41 through 45. 31 The Bush administration is considering an audit of the national school lunch program to make sure that all the children receiving free and reduced-price lunches come from families that are truly low-income. The Department of Agriculture says about 28 million children get their
25、 lunch each day through the program, which cost 68 billion in 2002. A USDA study last year estimated that one in five children participating might be ineligible because the familys income is too high. USDA estimates that 10 billion of the funding bought lunches for ineligible children. A family of f
26、our with an annual income of up to 23,530 qualify for free meals. Families that make 33,485 qualify for reduced-price lunches costing up to 40 cents. Administration officials and lawmakers say theyre trying to keep recipients honest while not scaring away needy families. What happens with the progra
27、m wont just affect how many children receive free chicken nuggets, chocolate milk and canned fruit salad. States and school districts use the program figures to estimate poverty levels at schools, so the results also could affect the amount of government aid at all levels that makes its way down to
28、struggling schools. Schools rely on parents to report their income but generally dont require proof. “When you start tightening up the scrutiny on these applications, families become fearful and they dont ap ply,“ says Gaye Lynn MacDonald of the school food service association. 31 Free and reduced p
29、riced lunches are for _. （ A） rich family （ B） rich students （ C） poor family （ D） poor students 32 Eligible children took _ billion of the funding in 2002. （ A） 28 （ B） 68 （ C） 58 （ D） 10 33 A children from the family make 30,000 dollars a year, qualify for _. （ A） free lunches （ B） reduced priced

43、o use their knowledge of the language to read books on their own subjects. Readers should understand, however, that the purpose of the book is to read the language, not to teach engineering. The language in which scientific and technical facts are expressed is certainty not a different language from
44、 that of everyday life, but all the same it presents the foreign student with a number of special problems. The most obvious and the most widely recognized of these problems is the vocabulary. Much more difficult are the semi-scientific or semi-technical words, which have a whole range of meanings a
45、nd are frequently used idiomatically. One of the aims of this practice book is to present as many of these words as possible, and as often as possible: words such as work and paint and load and feed and force. Words like these look harmless, but they can cause a lot of trouble to the student. But mo
46、re than anything else, I have tried to describe the technical statement: that is, the completed sentence rather than the individual word. Many of the structures illustrated in the book are essential to the expression of technical facts and ideas at least for the present. 46 Who is the book addressed
47、 primarily to? 47 What does the book aim at? 48 Why are the semi-scientific or semi-technical words difficult to foreign students? 49 What is the characteristic of the book? 50 Where is the passage likely to be taken from? 51 What they discovered was nothing less than a new source of energy. （ A）他们所
