13、assage 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)In sport the sexes are separate. (76) Women and men do not run or 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
14、 at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists 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
15、best women need 4.5 minutes. Women s speeds are always slower than men s, but some facts 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 W
16、eissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower 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
17、蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes !（分数：5.00）(1).Women are called “the weaker sex“ because_.（分数：1.00）A.women do as much work
18、as menB.people think women are weaker than menC.sport is easier for men than for womenD.in sport the two sexes are always together(2).Which of the following is true?（分数：1.00）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
19、.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europ(3).“That at least is what people say.“ means people（分数：1.00）A.say other things tooB.dont say this muchC.say this but may not think soD.only think this(4).What problems does sport have?（分数：1.00）A.Some women athletes are actually men.B.Some women athl
20、etes are given hormone injections.C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.(5).In this passage the author implies that _.（分数：1.00）A.women are weaker than men, but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are n
21、ot always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than women四、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)(77)What do we mean by a satisfactory 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
22、 person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education 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)
23、 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 future 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
24、.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 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 come
25、s 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 society.（分数：5.00）(1).What we need in life is divided into _according to this article.（分数：1.00）A.the basic necessities and luxuryB.many kinds of need such as food, clo
26、thing and housesC.four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expenseD.the basic necessities and reliable income(2).A person who gets the basic necessities must _ according to the writer.（分数：1.00）A.have a reliable incomeB.learn how to please his managerC.finish his work ahe
27、ad the timeD.get a good education(3).We all enjoy _.（分数：1.00）A.having only reliable incomeB.having reliable income and extra incomeC.having nothing more than food and clothingD.having nothing more than reliable income(4).With time going on,_.（分数：1.00）A.a luxury may change into a need which most peop
28、le want to getB.the basic needs are getting smaller and smallerC.a luxury and the basic needs can be exchangedD.the basic needs can be changed into a luxury(5).If most of the people of a country have a television, we _.（分数：1.00）A.can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothin
29、g and shelterB.can say the television must be in the basic necessitiesC.cannot say the television is in the basic necessitiesD.can say every family must have one五、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Increasingly, over the past ten years, peopleespecially young peoplehave become aware of the need to change their
30、 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 which do not contain chemical additives(添加剂) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in fa
31、rming 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 soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in it
32、self 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 farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). C
33、ompare 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 which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which
34、 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 is actually a non-essential food ! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is
35、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 centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with en
36、ergy, 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 diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vege
37、tables. 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. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modem experts on “healthy eating“.（分
