You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_In the United States, 30 percent of t
14、he adult population has a “weight problem“. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked hard
15、er physically, walked more, used machines much less and didnt watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance
16、, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amo
17、unt of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.（分数：10.00）(1).The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that_.（分数：2.00）A.they are too slimB.they work too hardC.they are too fatD.they lose too much body fat(2).According to the art
18、icle, given 500 adult Americans, _people will have a “weight problem“.（分数：2.00）A.30B.50C.100D.150(3).Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “ weight problem“?（分数：2.00）A.Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B.Of course, there is some evidence to show this is tr
19、ue.C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D.We dont know because the information is not given.(4).In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s_.（分数：2.00）A.ate more food and had more physical activitiesB.ate less food but had more activitiesC.a

21、ss activeD.thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intakeThe more time scientists spend designing computers, the more they wonder at human brain. Tasks that puzzle the most advanced supercomputerrecognizing a face, reading a handwritten note are childs play. Most important, unlike an
22、y ordinary computer, the brain can learn from its mistakes. Researchers have tried for years to program computers to imitate the brains abilities, but without success. Now a growing number of designers believe they have the answer: if a computer is to work more like a person and less like an overgro
23、wn calculator it must be built more like a brain, which distributes information across a vast interconnected web of nerve cells or neurons. Ordinary computers work by following a chainlike sequence of detailed instructions. Although very fast, their processors can perform only one task at a time. Th
24、is approach works best in solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces. The processors in a neural-network computer, by contrast, form a network much like the nerve cells in the brain. Since these artificial(人造的)neurons are interconnected, they can share information and perfo
25、rm tasks at the same time. This two-dimensional approach works best at recognizing patterns. Instead of programming a neural-network computer to make decisions, its maker trains it to recognize patterns in any solution to a problem by repeatedly feeding examples to the machine. Neural networks come
26、in all shapes and sizes. Until now most existed as software simulations(模拟品)because redesigning computer chips took a lot of time and money. By experimenting with different approaches through software rather than hardware, scientists have been able to avoid costly mistakes.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be in
27、ferred from the first paragraph that a computer_.（分数：2.00）A.can recognize a faceB.cannot learn from its mistakesC.cannot follow detailed instructionsD.can read a handwritten note(2).Which of the following is NOT true about an ordinary computer?（分数：2.00）A.It must be programmed before it works.B.It ca
28、n only solve one problem at a time.C.It is good at solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces.D.It is trained to make decisions.(3).The main feature of a neural-network computer is that_.（分数：2.00）A.its processors act as an interconnected web of neuronsB.it is programmed to
29、make decisionsC.its networks are of all shapes and sizesD.its neurons are artificial(4).The expression “this two-dimensional approach“ in the second paragraph refers to_.（分数：2.00）A.the conventional computer and the neural computerB.making decisions and recognizing patternsC.sharing information and p
30、erforming tasksD.the computer and the human brain(5).Scientists use software rather than hardware in their experiments because_.（分数：2.00）A.it can avoid redesigning computer chipsB.it can save a lot of time and moneyC.it can avoid making mistakesD.it is more like the human brainBroadband technology i
31、s seen as the key to the new digital economy. In this rapidly changing world, media and technology information can be sent via phone calls and downloads like music, graphics, business information or films. The simpler the information, the smaller the package and the narrower the bandwidth needed to
32、deliver it. Broadband is used for high speed Internet connections at a fixed monthly rate. It turns an existing telephone line into a high speed digital line capable of carrying data up to 40 times conventional modem speeds. Any download is available at the click of a mousethere is no dial-up as the
33、re is with standard Internet Service Providers. For home owners and families there are many advantages. One of the most important is simultaneous(同时的)access to both telephone lines and the Internet. No queues and no delay. For businesses, broadband can improve customer relations and provide direct a
34、ccess to corporate e-mails and databases. Entire operations can go online.（分数：10.00）(1).The function that broadband technology has on the new digital economy is_.（分数：2.00）A.furtherB.criticalC.costlyD.global(2).How much does a user pay if he has broadband technology installed?（分数：2.00）A.It depends on

As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. Alth
38、ough aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates , the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a grea
39、t deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets(片剂)were available in the United States. For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inf
40、lammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the bodys reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relativel
41、y mild, are largely unrecognized among users. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand
42、the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.（分数：10.00）(1).This article discusses_.（分数：2.00）A.the multiple functions of aspirinB.how and why aspirin was inventedC.the history and the features of aspirinD.how to take aspirin properly(2).Accordin
