Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than job holde

2、rs. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhapp

3、y, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By c

4、ollective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill. Besides, work gives one the sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society

5、. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.

10、rn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about t

11、he daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books. In history books, objective information about the political life of

12、a country is presented, that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective (主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political“ artist. In his well-known painting The Thi

13、rd of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用) of power over people. In the same way, art can reflect a culture“s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were

14、 filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn“t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human a

15、nd animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues (雕像) are not holy.（分数：20.00）(1).More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because _.（分数：4.00）A.art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB.general history only focuses on politicsC.a

16、rt history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a placeD.general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology(2).Art is subjective in that _.（分数：4.00）A.a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB.it only reflects people“s ange

17、r or sadness about social problemsC.it can easily arouse people“s anger about their governmentD.artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society(3).Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?（分数：4.00）A.In history books political views of peo

18、ple are entirely presented.B.Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808.C.In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other buildings.D.For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religio

19、us buildings.(4).The passage mainly discusses _.（分数：4.00）A.the development of art historyB.the differences between general history and art historyC.what we can learn from artD.the influence of artists on art history(5).It can be concluded from the passage that _.（分数：4.00）A.Islamic artists only paint

20、 images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintingsB.it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC.a history teacher must be quite objectiveD.artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefs四、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Blind people can “see“ thing

21、s by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously (无意识地). Manufacturers (生产商) have discovered by experience that sugar sells badly in green wrapp

22、ings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology. Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychologi

23、cal. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive (刺激). For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat th

24、at came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood p

25、ressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulanc

26、es in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.（分数：20.00）(1).Our preferences for certain colors are _ according to the passage.（分数：4.00）A.associated with the time of the dayB.dependent on our personalitiesC.are linked with our ancestorsD.par

27、tly due to psychological factors(2).If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?（分数：4.00）A.They breathe faster.B.They feel satisfied.C.Their blood pressure rises.D.Their hearts beat faster.(3).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passa

29、atements is TRUE according to the passage?（分数：4.00）A.Manufacturers often sell sugar in green wrappings.B.Dark blue can bring people the feeling of being energetic.C.Primitive people associated heat and ager with red.D.Green and yellow are associated with calm and passive defense.(5).Which of the fol

30、lowing could be the most suitable title for the passage?（分数：4.00）A.The Branch of Color PsychologyB.Color and Its MeaningsC.The Practical Use of Color PsychologyD.Color and Feelings五、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I a

31、lso explain that there“s a big difference between “being a writer“ and writing. In most cases, these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You“ve got to want to write,“ I say to them, “not want to be a writer“. The reality is that writing is a lonely

32、, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由栏目) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a N

33、ew York apartment building. It didn“t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.

34、e enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about for years. I wasn“t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if?

39、wland“ in the last sentence refers to _.（分数：4.00）A.the wonderland one often dreams aboutB.the bright future that one is looking forward toC.the state of uncertainty before one“s final goal is reachedD.a world that exists only in one“s imagination六、Passage 5(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Man is a land animal, but h

40、e is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, experts believe that nearly two thirds of the world“s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoa

41、st. In the modem technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to satisfy many needs for man in the future. The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man“s technology are impressive. Oil

42、 and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such asiron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may a

43、lso offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind. Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve.

48、t century.七、Passage 6(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking. It is a fact

49、that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest portion of smokers is 2444. Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person“s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, he is likely to smoke packs of cigarettes per day.
