27、n （ D） of Part A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when

28、they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of aging on the heart has found that womens longevity 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 falls by 20 25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,“

29、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,“ said Goldspink. “This is part of the aging process

30、.“ 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 men,“ said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 he

31、althy 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 improve the health of their heart with regular exerc

32、ise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age. 46 The underlined word “longevity“ in the second paragraph probably refers to “_“. （ A） health （ B） long life （ C） aging （ D） effect 47 The text mainly talks about_. （

33、A） men s heart cells （ B） women s aging process （ C） the gender difference （ D） hearts and long life 48 According to the text, the UK scientists have known that_. （ A） women have more cells than men when they are born （ B） women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat （ C） the female hea

34、rt loses few of the cells with age （ D） women never lose their pumping power with age 49 If you want to live longer, you should_. （ A） enable your heart to beat much faster （ B） find out the reason for aging （ C） exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy （ D） prevent your cells from being lost 5

35、0 We can know from the passage that_. （ A） the reason why aging takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out （ B） scientists are on the way to find out why the male heart loses more of the cells （ C） the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss （ D） wo

36、men over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20 50 The Man of Many Secrets Harry Houdini was one of the greatest American entert-ainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full

37、 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. He could move his body

38、 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 worked together as magic

39、ian 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 ) that came from this

40、 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 luck and a small skeleton key, which is

41、 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 in the evening every s

42、eat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? World-wild fame and a name remembered today. 51 According to the passage, Houdinis success in prison escapes depends on_. （ A） his special tricks and supernatural powers （ B） his unusual ability and a skeleton key （ C） his magic tricks and

43、 unhuman powers （ D） his wisdom and magic tricks 52 In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this“ refers to_. （ A） his first prison escape （ B） the year 1898 （ C） the publicity （ D） Harry Houdinis success 53 Which of the following statements is true? （ A） Houdini was put into prison for severa

44、l times because of crime. （ B） Houdini achieved great success once he entered entertainment world. （ C） Houdini performed prison escape in an effort to draw peoples attention. （ D） Houdini had super magic power to twist his body into almost any position he wanted. 54 It can be inferred from the pass

45、age that Houdini became famous_. （ A） in 1894 （ B） before he married （ C） at the age of 17 （ D） when he was about 24 55 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? （ A） A Skeleton Key （ B） A Man of Many Secrets （ C） World-wild Fame （ D） Great Escape 55 Youre busy filling out the applic

46、ation 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 couple

47、 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 assum

48、es 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 out

49、 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“no such people“. To avoid outright (彻底的 ) lies, some job-seekers claim that they “attended“ or “were associated
