25、f numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health.

Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive
26、and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads for everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when res
27、earch by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equal
28、ly rewarding-and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise.As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorousl

34、ts or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops
35、to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before the
36、y became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers“. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50% to 70% less pesticide than they
37、otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into o
38、peration. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75% of agricultural land in the United States,“ says George Oerther of Texas AM. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopte
39、d by the end of the decade. But only If Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.（分数：6.00）(1).Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _.A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scannerC. in poor physical condition D. exposed to excessive sun
40、 rays（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(2).In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _.A. estimate the damage to the crops B. draw a color-coded mapC. measure the size of the affected area D. locate the problem area（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(3).Farmers can save a considerable amount of p
41、esticide by _.A. resorting to spot-spraying B. consulting infrared scanning expertsC. transforming poisoned rain D. detecting crop problems a an early date（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(4).The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties due to _.A. the lack of official s
42、upport B. its high costC. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(5).Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _.A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB. growing concern about the excessive u
43、se of pesticides on cropsC. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD. full support from agricultural experts（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Lincoln was a strong executive who saved the government, saved the United States. He was a President who understood people, and, when ti
44、me came to make decisions, he was willing to take the responsibility and make those decisions, no matter how difficult they were. He knew how to treat people and how to make a decision stick, and thats why he is regarded as such a great Administration.Carl Sandburg and a lot of others have tried to
45、make something out of Lincoln that he wasnt. He was a decent man, a good politician, and a great President, and theyve tried to build up things that he never even thought about. Ill bet a dollar and a half that if you read Sandburgs biography of Lincoln, youll find things put into Lincolns mouth and
46、 mind that never even occurred to him. He was a good man who was in the place where he ought to have been at the time important events were taking place, but when they write about him as though he belongs in the pantheon (从神庙) of the gods, thats not the man he really was. He was the best kind of ord
47、inary man, and when I say that he was an ordinary man, I mean that as high praise, not deprecation. Thats the highest praise you can give a man. Hes one of the people and becomes distinguished in the service that he gives other people. He was one of the people, and he wanted to stay that way. And he
48、 was that way until the day he died. One of the reasons he was assassinated was because he didnt feel important enough to have the proper guards around him at Fords Theatre.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the passage, Lincoln was _ .A. a man belonging in the pantheon of the godsB. defied (藐视) by all the p
