13、: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center
14、. 15 In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem“. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate m
15、ore food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didnt watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the study of 3, 545 Lond
16、on office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat the
17、y lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat. 16 The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that_. （ A） they are too slim （ B） they work too hard （ C） they are too fat （ D） they lose to
18、o much body fat 17 According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, _people will have a “weight problem“. （ A） 30 （ B） 50 （ C） 100 （ D） 150 18 Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “ weight problem“? （ A） Yes, there is plenty of evidence. （ B） Of cour
19、se, there is some evidence to show this is true. （ C） There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this. （ D） We dont know because the information is not given. 19 In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s_. （ A） ate more food and had more physical acti
20、vities （ B） ate less food but had more activities （ C） ate less food and had less physical exercise （ D） had more weight problems 20 Modern scientific researches have reported to us that_. （ A） fat people eat less food and are less active （ B） fat people eat more food than slim people and are more a
21、ctive （ C） fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active （ D） thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake 20 The more time scientists spend designing computers, the more they wonder at human brain. Tasks that puzzle the most advanced supercomputer recognizing a fac
22、e, reading a handwritten note are childs play. Most important, unlike any ordinary computer, the brain can learn from its mistakes. Researchers have tried for years to program computers to imitate the brains abilities, but without success. Now a growing number of designers believe they have the answ
23、er: if a computer is to work more like a person and less like an overgrown calculator it must be built more like a brain, which distributes information across a vast interconnected web of nerve cells or neurons. Ordinary computers work by following a chainlike sequence of detailed instructions. Alth
24、ough very fast, their processors can perform only one task at a time. This approach works best in solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces. The processors in a neural-network computer, by contrast, form a network much like the nerve cells in the brain. Since these artific
25、ial(人造的 )neurons are interconnected, they can share information and perform tasks at the same time. This two-dimensional approach works best at recognizing patterns. Instead of programming a neural-network computer to make decisions, its maker trains it to recognize patterns in any solution to a pro
26、blem by repeatedly feeding examples to the machine. Neural networks come in all shapes and sizes. Until now most existed as software simulations(模拟品 )because redesigning computer chips took a lot of time and money. By experimenting with different approaches through software rather than hardware, sci
27、entists have been able to avoid costly mistakes. 21 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that a computer_. （ A） can recognize a face （ B） cannot learn from its mistakes （ C） cannot follow detailed instructions （ D） can read a handwritten note 22 Which of the following is NOT true about an ord
28、inary computer? （ A） It must be programmed before it works. （ B） It can only solve one problem at a time. （ C） It is good at solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces. （ D） It is trained to make decisions. 23 The main feature of a neural-network computer is that_. （ A） its
29、 processors act as an interconnected web of neurons （ B） it is programmed to make decisions （ C） its networks are of all shapes and sizes （ D） its neurons are artificial 24 The expression “this two-dimensional approach“ in the second paragraph refers to_. （ A） the conventional computer and the neura
30、l computer （ B） making decisions and recognizing patterns （ C） sharing information and performing tasks （ D） the computer and the human brain 25 Scientists use software rather than hardware in their experiments because_. （ A） it can avoid redesigning computer chips （ B） it can save a lot of time and
31、 money （ C） it can avoid making mistakes （ D） it is more like the human brain 25 Broadband technology is seen as the key to the new digital economy. In this rapidly changing world, media and technology information can be sent via phone calls and downloads like music, graphics, business information o
32、r films. The simpler the information, the smaller the package and the narrower the bandwidth needed to deliver it. Broadband is used for high speed Internet connections at a fixed monthly rate. It turns an existing telephone line into a high speed digital line capable of carrying data up to 40 times
33、 conventional modem speeds. Any download is available at the click of a mousethere is no dial-up as there is with standard Internet Service Providers. For home owners and families there are many advantages. One of the most important is simultaneous(同时的 )access to both telephone lines and the Interne
34、t. No queues and no delay. For businesses, broadband can improve customer relations and provide direct access to corporate e-mails and databases.

As the m
38、ost popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the
39、leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets(片剂 )were available in the United States. For
40、 millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the bodys reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is al
