13、 is an important one.(71)An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal 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 o
14、f society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our 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.
15、The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty.(72)As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but m
16、ay be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.A multitude of factors, both inherited and 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 individ
17、ual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy 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
18、a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals 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 probabi
19、lity of increased vitality(活力)and longevity(寿命).31 The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because_ .（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 ch
20、oices help cure most illnesses32 To “live a completely sedentary life-style“(Para. 2)in the passage means_.（A）to “live a decent 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_.
21、（A）few people are willing to trade the quality of life for the quantity of life（B） people are usually influenced by the behavior 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 hab
22、its is compared by Fries and Crapo to_.（A）deliberately ending one s life（B） improving the quality of one s life（C） limiting ones personal health choice（D）breaking the rules of social behavior34 (73)By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their chi
23、ldren s language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child s language skills increase.A study was done with 30
24、 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study: the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-n
25、o questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.At the be
26、ginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental
27、group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.35 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（A）Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.（B） Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.（C） Active children should read more and be given m
28、ore attention.（D）Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.36 What does “It“ in Line 2 can most probably be replaced by?（A）Parents increasing children s language development.（B） Reading techniques being simple.（C） Parents reading to children.（D）Childrens intelligence development.37
29、According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?（A）Do you see the elephant?（B） Is the elephant in the cage?（C） What animals do you like?（D）Shall we go to the zoo?38 The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that_.（A）parents should be trained
30、 to read to their children（B） the more children read, the more intelligent they will become（C） childrens language skills increase when they are required to respond actively（D）children who read actively seem six months old38 (74)A major incentive(动力)for college attendance is the belief that it will p
31、repare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college 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 co
32、nstruction worker: you would probably rather be a manager than a subordinate. In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for 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 educ
33、ation will make you a better person, but it is a value judgement that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make survey after survey to demonstrate that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made them better and more tolerant people.(75)Whethe
34、r 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 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 l
35、earn informally. Whether you go to college in you hometown or across the country, college will introduce you to a greater diversity of people 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,
36、college graduates are more knowledgeable about the world around them, more tolerant and less prejudiced, more active in public and community affairs, and, more open to new ideas.39 It is apparent from the passage that people go to college mainly because they believe_.（A）a college education will prov
37、ide them with a guarantee of success in life（B） the economy of their country cant absorb an army of untrained youngsters（C） a college education will make them better qualified for a career（D）the investment in a college education can bring a higher economic return than before40 The word “dedicated“(P
