28、理解(总题数：3，分数：30.00)Anyone who has a fat friend or who is, perhaps, himself more than ample, knows only too well how little provision our society makes for such people. Even the daily round provides numerous problems and snags. There are few pieces of clothing that can be bought off the peg, seats in
29、cinemas or theatres are a subtle sort of torture only partially relieved by the rarity of good performance, and home furniture is hopelessly inadequate(imagine a fat person moving among a houseful of delicate antique chairs!). Then there is the problem of having a bath; the standard size of bathtub
30、just does not allow a fat person to take up a horizontal position but demands of a grotesque squat reminiscent of his simian ancestry. In todays world, however, these are minor worries in a culture where slimness has become a fetish and all things desirable come to the person with a sylph-like figur
31、e. Especially in women, this attribute is a must if they are to compete on anything like equal terms with their contemporaries in the marriage market. The fact that slimness is not necessarily either an ideal condition from a physiological point of view or a natural characteristic is of little comfo
32、rt to the fat man or woman living in our present society obsessed by thinness. This fashion has been just another facet of the desire for conformity; we have charts showing correct weights for each height, and there are whole counters in many shops given over to the display of non-fattening foods. T
33、he fat person is doubly unfortunate in that he cannot hide his non-conformity, unlike so many of us who have perhaps more subtle forms of eccentricity. In those cases where fatness is the result of over-eating, it is, of course, a reaction to some form of inner conflict and a much less harmful one t
34、han, say, alcoholism, drug addiction or suicide. Where the excess weight is due to some disorder of the body, the person so afflicted is an all-round loser, for not only has he a physical illness to cope with but is mocked for having it by many people who should know better. Perhaps fashion will eve
35、ntually change to allow an ample frame to become acceptable, but at present it seems that the pencil-slim models of the fashion salons are in safe jobs.（分数：10.00）(1).The author says that the present society_.（分数：2.00）A.doesnt give any good food to overweight peopleB.provides for fat people when they
36、 are illC.doesnt recognize the needs of fat peopleD.makes ample provision for fat people(2).What is the special problem of women in this matter?（分数：2.00）A.There are many competitions for slimming.B.It is necessary to be slim to be acceptable.C.Contemporary fashion dictates their shape.D.Slimness and
37、 fatness are equally prevalent.(3).It is of no comfort to the fat person that_.（分数：2.00）A.obesity is not always a physiological problemB.fatness gives a person a comfortable characterC.slimness is a condition imposed by societyD.slimness is not always an ideal condition(4).A fat person is especially
38、 unfortunate because_.（分数：2.00）A.he is too big to hideB.everyone can see his fatnessC.it is impossible for him to conformD.he looks so different from many others(5).According to the author, over-eating is_.（分数：2.00）A.similar to other desiresB.a harmless habitC.the result of some inner unrestD.a diso
39、rder of the bodyAround the corner from the Dwight D. Eisenhower presidential library in Abilene, Kansas, is the Museum of Independent Telephony. Its 20, 000 visitors a year see a bewildering collection, ranging from wooden wall phones, “ candlestick“ phones and old pay phones, to switchboards and a
40、reconstructed operators lair. Despite their years, some of the artifacts continue to work as interactive exhibits. The museum has been receiving more than usual interest in recent years, for Abilene has become a focus for a new American phenomenon. In this age of modems, mobiles and voice mail, Amer
41、icans are going all gooey over old phones. The ancient railroad town has arguably become the antique phone center of Americathe Antique Telephone Collectors Association is also headquartered in Abilene. It owes its status partly to the generosity of the Sprint Corporation, a telecommunications giant
42、 which funds the museum because someone called C. L. Brown founded the company there many years ago. Ironically, a big factor in the birth of the old phone market has been the Internet. It has allowed enthusiasts to link up with like-minded souls thousands of miles away. “There are too few collector
43、s to form local organizations of any size, but the Internet has been a wonderful way for people to connect, “ says Karen Poza, who two years ago joined the ranks of collectors. “We collectors are like vultures, “says Paul Wiltfong of Lenexa, Kansas, a construction worker who has collected some 14, 0
44、00 items since 1981. Auction websites like eBay offer a lively marketplace for the buying and selling of old phones and switchboards. Many vintage phones now cost between $500 and $1, 000, with a few exceptional ones running into five figures. The most popular collectable phones tend to be the ones that people remember using themselves. For instance, interest in early 20th century wooden wall phonesonce the most popular modelshas waned because fewer peo
