13、e are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.30 In sport the sexes are separate. (76) Women and men do not run or
14、swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex“ ,or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex“. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists
15、and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women s bodies really weaker7The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women s speeds are always slower than men s, but some facts
16、are surpising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan“ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slow
17、er than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are reall
18、y women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes ! 31 Women are called “the weaker sex“ because_.（A）women do as much work as men（B） people think women are weaker than men（C） sport is easier for men than for women（D）in sport the
19、two sexes are always together 32 Which of the following is true?（A）Boys and girls study separately everywhere.（B） Women do not run or swim in races with men.（C） Famous Prime Ministers are women.（D）Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe. 33 “That at least is what people say.“ means people

22、tisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and educa
23、tion facilities.We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. (78) We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for f
24、uture expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still
25、is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own
26、 society.36 What we need in life is divided into _according to this article.（A）the basic necessities and luxury（B） many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses（C） four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense（D）the basic necessities and reliable income 37 A pe
27、rson who gets the basic necessities must _ according to the writer.（A）have a reliable income（B） learn how to please his manager（C） finish his work ahead the time（D）get a good education 38 We all enjoy _.（A）having only reliable income（B） having reliable income and extra income（C） having nothing more
28、than food and clothing（D）having nothing more than reliable income 39 With time going on,_.（A）a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get（B） the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller（C） a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged（D）the basic needs can be changed into a luxur
29、y 40 If most of the people of a country have a television, we _.（A）can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelter（B） can say the television must be in the basic necessities（C） cannot say the television is in the basic necessities（D）can say every family must have
30、one 40 Increasingly, over the past ten years, peopleespecially young peoplehave become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods
31、which do not contain chemical additives(添加剂)and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.(79) Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter. In simple terms, this means that the
32、 soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amountbut not the qualityof foods grown in commercial farm
33、ing areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food
34、which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This
35、is actually a non-essential food ! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centur
36、ies and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.(80) It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy di
37、et. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantifies of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hen
38、ce the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modem experts on “healthy eating“. 41 People have become more interested in natural foods because _.（A）they are more health conscious（B） they want to taste all kinds of foods（C） natural foods are more delicious than p
39、rocessed foods（D）they want to return to nature 42 Soil that is rich in organic matters _.（A）has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it（B） contains vegetable matter that has not been consumed（C） has been nourished by fertilizers（D）already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals 43 Chick
40、ens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that _.（A）they are fed on food which is little better than garbage（B） they live in very crowded condition（C） the eggs they lay lack vitamins（D）they are allowed to move about and eat freely 44 According to the passage,_.（A）people need sugar
41、to give them energy（B） sugar is bad for the health（C） the use of sugar is habit forming（D）sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful 45 The best title for this passage is _.（A）People s Growing Interest in Natural Foods（B） Natural Foods and Healthy Diet（C） Harmful Effects of Sugar（
42、D）The Importance of Fiber in Foods 五、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
