Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people
12、 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 and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live unt
13、il the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women“s bodies really weaker? The 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 are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of
14、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 slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up.
15、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 really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very compli
16、cated when there are two separate sexes!（分数：10.00）(1).Women are called “the weaker sex“ because _.（分数：2.00）A.women do as much work 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：

18、 but may not think soD.only think this(4).What problems does sport have?（分数：2.00）A.Some women athletes are actually men.B.Some women athletes 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 th
19、is passage the author implies that _.（分数：2.00）A.women are weaker than men, but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are not always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than women四、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Ob
20、viously, 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 education facilities. We may think of
21、 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. 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 holida
22、ys. 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 is in many countries now. Even now
23、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 society.（分数：10.00）(1).What we need
24、 in life is divided into _ according to this article.（分数：2.00）A.the basic necessities and luxuryB.many kinds of need such as food, clothing 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 ba
25、sic necessities must _ according to the writer.（分数：2.00）A.have a reliable incomeB.learn how to please his managerC.finish his work ahead the timeD.get a good education(3).We all enjoy _.（分数：2.00）A.having only reliable incomeB.having reliable income and extra incomeC.having nothing more than food and
26、 clothingD.having nothing more than reliable income(4).With time going on, _.（分数：2.00）A.a luxury may change into a need which most people 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 mo
27、st of the people of a country have a television, we _.（分数：2.00）A.can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing 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、Pa
28、ssage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)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 natur
29、al foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives (添加剂) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. 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
30、means that the 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 c
31、ommercial farming 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
32、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 lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the questio
33、n 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 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
34、 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 energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of
35、a healthy diet. 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 quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparative
36、ly rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating“.（分数：10.00）(1).People have become more interested in natural foods because _.（分数：2.00）A.they are more health consciousB.they want to taste all kinds of foodsC.natural food
37、s are more delicious than processed foodsD.they want to return to nature(2).Soil that is rich in organic matters _.（分数：2.00）A.has had chemicals and fertilizers added to itB.contains vegetable matter that has not been consumedC.has been nourished by fertilizersD.already contains large quantities of v
38、itamins and minerals(3).Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that _.（分数：2.00）A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbageB.they live in very crowded conditionC.the eggs they lay lack vitaminsD.they are allowed to move about and eat freely(4).According to the
39、 passage, _.（分数：2.00）A.people need sugar to give them energyB.sugar is bad for the healthC.the use of sugar is habit formingD.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful(5).The best title for this passage is _.（分数：2.00）A.People“s Growing Interest in Natural FoodsB.Natural Foods and
40、 Healthy DietC.Harmful Effects of SugarD.The Importance of Fiber in Foods六、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated (自动化的) production syste
41、ms requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks. On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue
42、 in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing (交换) system of major banks and the weather forecasting system. When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers) whil
43、e other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. After the new system has settled down, people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial inc
44、rease in the activity of the frim, resulting from the introduction of computers. The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more di
45、fficult. On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by th
46、e former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1954, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run.（分数：10.00）(1).The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from _.（分数：2.00）A.the possible widespread
47、unemployment caused by their introductionB.their use as part of automated production systemsC.the least possible number of operatorsD.the production system in steelworks(2).The underlined word “They“ (Line 1, Para. 2) refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.computersB.jobsC.activitiesD.systems(3).According to Paragr
48、aph 2, without computers _.（分数：2.00）A.human activities could not continueB.there could not be weather forecasting systemsC.many activities would have to change their present formD.banks would not be able to go on with check clearing(4).According to the passage, what results from the introduction of
49、computers?（分数：2.00）A.After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.B.A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C.The firm keeps all of its original staff members.D.The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.(5).James Callaghan“s attitude towards computers can be best described as _.（分数：2.00）A.doubtfulB.regretfulC.unfriendlyD.supportive七、Part Vocabulary an(总题数：20，分数：10.00)1.According to the American federal government
