An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound per
13、sonal health choices based upon current medical knowledge.We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like 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 ou
14、r health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we 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 decisio
15、ns can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager 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 an
16、d environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text 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 choices. There are heal
17、thy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew 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 individu
18、als who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality(活力)and longevity(寿命).31 The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because_.（
19、A）wrong decisions could lead to poor health（B） it helps raise the level of our medical knowledge（C） it is essential to personal freedom in American society（D）personal health choices help cure most illnesses32 To “live a completely sedentary life-style“(Para. 2)in the passage means_.（A）to “live a dec
20、ent life“（B） to “live an inactive life“（C） to “live a life of vice“（D）to “live a life with complete freedom“33 Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because_.（A）few people are willing to trade the quality of life for the quantity of life（B） people are usually influenced by the beha
21、vior of their friends（C） current medical knowledge is still insufficient（D）there are many factors influencing our decisions34 To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to_.（A）deliberately ending one s life（B） improving the quality of one s life（C） limiting
22、one s personal health choice（D）breaking the rules of social behavior35 According to Fries and Crapo sound health choices should be based on_.（A）personal decisions（B） statistical evidence（C） friends opinions（D）society s laws35 When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the q
23、uestions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the complexities of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old child wants to read(or even a two-year-old child for that matter), t
24、he child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored“ when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teacher s affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still
25、cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic(having difficulty in reading).Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read(i
26、f badly done it could put them off reading for life), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.Should the young child ask his parents t
27、o teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.36 This passage is mainly about_.（A）what qualiti
28、es people teaching children reading should have（B） different age groupings of children to be taught reading（C） when and how children should be taught reading（D）various problems of children who start learning to read37 In the writer s opinion, children start learning to read_.（A）early and fast（B） at
29、different times（C） by a certain rule（D）from word games38 A three-year-old child who wants to read should_.（A）be encouraged（B） go to an infant school（C） start from fun stories（D）join a class of non-readers39 The purpose of labeling items in the room is to_.（A）make it more colorful（B） teach children t
30、o write neatly（C） help children recognize simple letters（D）force children to develop the habit of reading40 The writer suggests that_.（A）children should ask their parents to teach them to read（B） children should not feel bored if given advanced reading material（C） children starting to read should as
31、k specialists for help（D）children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humor40 A major incentive(动力)for college attendance is the belief that it will prepare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college
32、education. Even if the return of your education isn t as great as it used to be, you would probably rather be a relatively poorly paid lawyer than a secretary or a construction worker: you would probably rather be a manager than a subordinate. In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for
33、even middle-level jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off.It can pay off in other ways too. It is a value judgement to say that a college education will make you a better person, but it is a value judgement that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make surve
34、y after survey to demonstrate that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made them better and more tolerant people.Whether it makes you a better person or not, a college education is likely to have a lasting effect on your knowledge and values. If you finish
35、college, you will sit through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicated student is bound to learn something from these courses. In addition, students learn informally. Whether you go to college in your hometown or across the country, college will introduce you to a greater diversity of pe
36、ople than you re likely to have experienced before. This diversity will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons.As a result of formal and informal learning, college graduates are more knowledgeable about the world around them, more tolerant and less prejudiced, more active in public and commun
37、ity affairs, and, more open to new ideas.41 It is apparent from the passage that people go to college mainly because they believe_.（A）a college education will provide them with a guarantee of success in life（B） the economy of their country cant absorb an army of untrained youngsters（C） a college edu
38、cation will make them better qualified for a career（D）the investment in a college education can bring a higher economic return than before42 We can learn from the second paragraph that_.（A）college can hardly help people become better citizens（B） most college graduates refuse to make any comment on t
39、heir college education（C） a college education may not be the best thing for everyone（D）people consider their college education to be of great worth43 The word “dedicated“(Para. 3)could best be replaced by_.（A）hardworking（B） competent（C） intelligent（D）conservative44 According to the passage, which of
40、 the following statements is NOT true?（A）A college student can enrich his knowledge and broaden his mind through formal and informal learning.（B） A college education is likely to be a required credential(文凭)for the career a person wants.（C） A college student who doesn t work hard can get nothing out
41、 of the courses he takes.（D）A college education tends to have long-range effects on a person s knowledge and values.45 This passage is primarily concerned with_.（A）the change of people s attitude toward their college education（B） the benefits of a college education（C） the result of formal and inform
42、al learning（D）the intercommunication among college students45 Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this. Some ar
43、e obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do in their own languages is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce them, and consequently never set a
44、bout speaking them in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the i
45、mportance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught, the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lessons to this, and his whole atti
46、tude to the subject should make the students feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving their close attention.46 Teaching pronunciation_.（A）should always be taken into first consideration（B） can never be treated as a main course（C） may not be so important as someone thinks（D）is often neglected i
47、n teachers practice47 The teacher s attitude to the subject can_.（A）change the students devotion to the teacher himself（B） influence the students attention to it（C） receive students attention to his pronunciation（D）reduce students interest in language48 According to the author, _good proficiency at
48、pronouncing foreign languages.（A）many people fail to achieve（B） many students can attain（C） most teachers ignore（D）most teachers have49 That most students cant pronounce a foreign language properly is because_.（A）they like to learn grammar rather than pronunciation（B） teachers think pronunciation is
49、 not important（C） teachers can not find effective ways to teach pronunciation（D）they lack careful training in pronunciation50 Which of the following statements is TRUE?（A）A good accent can be acquired by nature.（B） Language speaking is not so difficult as grammar.（C） Pronouncing a foreign language is a skill.（D）One c
