The latest research makes it known that the reason c

24、ould be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of aging on the heart has found that womens Ulongevity/U may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart fal

25、ls by 2025 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,“ said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,“

26、 said Goldspink. “This is part of the aging process.“What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than me

27、n,“ said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why aging takes a greater loss on the male heart,“ said Goldspink.The good news is that men can impr

28、ove the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.（分数：10.00）(1).The underlined word “longevity“ in the second paragraph probably refers to “_“.（分数：2.00）A.healthB.long life

32、ng the greater lossD.women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20BText 2/BThe Man of Many SecretsHarry Houdiniwas one of the greatest American entert-ainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapesfrom prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in river

33、s, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic“ tricks.Of course, his secret was not magic or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers

34、. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess w

35、orked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity (宣传

36、) that came from Uthis/U that started Harry Houdinis success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape ankle chins. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luckand a small

37、 skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and

38、in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? World-wild fame and a name remembered today.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Houdinis success in prison escapes depends on_.（分数：2.00）A.his special tricks and supernatural powersB.his unusual ability and a skele

39、ton keyC.his magic tricks and unhuman powersD.his wisdom and magic tricks(2).In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this“ refers to_.（分数：2.00）A.his first prison escapeB.the year 1898C.the publicityD.Harry Houdinis success(3).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.Houdini was put

42、ication form for a position you really need. Lets assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isnt it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra coup

43、le of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she ass

44、umes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns ou

45、t that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them “impostors (骗子)“; another refers to them as “special cases“. One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by“n

46、o such people“. To avoid outright (彻底的) lies, some job-seekers claim that they “attended“ or “were associated with“ a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that “attending“ means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that“being associated with“ a c

47、ollege means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the centurythats when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you dont want to lie or even stretch the truth, th

48、ere are companies that will sell you a Uphony/U diploma.One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State University“. The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue“. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.（分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of this passage is that_.（分数：2.00）A.employers are
