11、 will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. 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. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it
12、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 great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and i
13、t led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, 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 (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by
14、 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 relatively mild, are largely unrecognized am
15、ong 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 the bitter taste. Some people sugge
16、st 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).According to the second paragraph, salic
17、ylates is _. （分数：2.00）A.leaves and tree barksB.the old name of aspirinC.the name of a US companyD.a component of aspirin(3).Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin? （分数：2.00）A.feverB.reactionsC.painD.inflammation(4).It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is
18、to take it _. （分数：2.00）A.with bitter waterB.with orange juiceC.in tablet formD.in powder form(5).The author of this article seems to be_. （分数：2.00）A.against the use of aspirinB.in favour of aspirinC.doubtful about aspirinD.not interested in aspirinPassage Two Dr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate direct
19、or of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family. Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate. According to Dr. Bane
20、s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long
21、 time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, theres often good reason for teenage marriages to break up. Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children. “Theres no evidence that children receive less attent
22、ion from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we havent seen the amount of educ
23、ational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their childre n. “They probably read more to their chil
24、dren and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.（分数：10.00）(1).Dr. Mary Jo Banes study seems to suggest that _. （分数：2.00）A.Americans are persistent in careerB.Americans are serious with their familiesC.American families are all breaking upD.American
25、 families are perfect as usual(2).It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _. （分数：2.00）A.in great dangerB.quite wonderfulC.changing too fastD.very satisfying(3).According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce? （分数：2.00

27、ost no attention is paid to themC.no less attention is paid to themD.a lot of time is spent playing games(5).Compared with nonworking mothers, working mothers_. （分数：2.00）A.spare less time to stay with their childrenB.do more educational activities with childrenC.do very little simple physical housew
28、orkD.avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage Three Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK. The pattern of
29、crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreove r, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a.
30、m. Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in a
31、ny other month of the year. On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific mee
32、tings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntingtons studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental
33、 hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!（分数：10.00）(1).The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_. （分数：2.00）A.the figures in police recordsB.2,400 cities and townsC.a magazine reportD.the studies by police officers(2).According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on
34、 _. （分数：2.00）A.a weekday morning in springB.a weekday morning in autumnC.a weekend night in summerD.a weekend night in winter(3).What makes May a special month of the year? （分数：2.00）A.All types of crimes happen in May.B.There is no crime happened in May.C.Criminals increase in number in May.D.Dog at
35、tacks are most frequent in May.(4).Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities? （分数：2.00）A.Reading books on philosophy.B.Attending wedding ceremony.C.Working on mathematics questions.D.Innovating engineering machinery.(5).According to Professor Huntingtons study, June is the pe
36、ak month when people _. （分数：2.00）A.get divorcedB.recover from mental illnessC.try to kill themselvesD.climb high and low mountainsPassage Four In Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionists desk and asked. “What tribe(部落) is he?” When
37、the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then Ill never get the job.” This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost im
38、mediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs. However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to ones e
39、thnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or m
40、ilitary leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotionfrom sergeant to captain, from clerk to managerwithin a very short time. Modern African politicia
41、ns publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.（分数：10.00）(1).In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused? （分数：2.00）A.His behavior was not appropriate.B.He belonged to the same tribe with

43、icaD.the importance of tribalism in Africa(3).What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism? （分数：2.00）A.positiveB.indifferentC.negativeD.none of the above(4).According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism? （分数：2.00）A.Sergeants maintain security
44、in his own tribe.B.Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.C.Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.D.Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.(5).What would be the future of tribalism? （分数：2.00）A.It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.B.It will r
45、emain as strong as it is today and never be changed.C.It will gradually disappear as the society develops.D.It will speed up further division of tribes.三、Part III Vocabulary (总题数：40，分数：20.00)16.The government is determined to _ an end to inflation. （分数：0.50）A.giveB.bringC.takeD.set17.The outcome of
