24、ns on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 42 America is a country on the move. In unheard of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent fro

25、m just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active. It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads

26、for everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传 ) for races held in American cities helped fuel a st

27、rong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise. As the popularity of exercise continu

28、es to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地 ) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will

29、 produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months. 43 According to the passage, what was the percentage of American adults doing regular physical exercises two years ago? （ A） About 70%. （ B） Nearly 60%. （ C） Almost 50%. （ D） More than 12%. 44 A growing interest in sports d

33、The world is known to us through many senses not just hearing, smell, vision and at close range, touch, and taste. Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity (均匀 ) of slight pressure, we can be aware how deepl

34、y a finger is thrust (刺 ) into water at body temperature, even if the finger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the

35、five senses. By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom we come to realise that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time a comparison between animals and man d

36、raws attention to the limitations of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光谱 ) seen by colour conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than us, because the ultra-violet (紫外线 ) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating (刺激的 ) part of the insects s

37、pectrum and for honey-bees at least constitutes (构成，组成 ) a separate colour. 48 From the passage we realise that _. （ A） man possesses far more senses than the five major ones （ B） man possesses a few more senses than animals （ C） man possesses as many senses as animals （ D） man has fully utilized hi

38、s senses 49 Which of the following is TRUE? （ A） Man is more colour-conscious than the honey-bee. （ B） The honey-bee is blind to red. （ C） The honey-bee can see far more colours than man. （ D） Man is sensitive to the ultra-violet. 50 We can realise how deeply a finger is put into water at body tempe

39、rature _. （ A） from the sense of direct touch （ B） through the skin contact （ C） through the difference in temperature （ D） from the even distribution of pressure 51 The phrase “sensitive skins“ ( Para. 2) most probably means_. （ A） skins that are quick to feel and respond （ B） skins that are delica

40、te （ C） skins that are completely dry （ D） skins that are sticky or slippery 52 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） All senses have their limitations. （ B） Insects are more sensitive to colour than man. （ C） Man has not fully utilized all his senses. （ D） Man is not as good as animals in lear

41、ning about the environment. 52 Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behaviour. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey (猎物 ) into a goal mouth. If his aim is acc

42、urate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunters triumph of killing his prey. To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving (进化 ) as cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hun

43、ting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They cooperated as skillful male-group attackers. Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunti

44、ng their food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, was put to a new use-that of controlling and domesticating their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the

45、hunt were no longer essential for survival. The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. I

46、nstead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that were no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten but there were other much simpler ways of obtaining a meaty meal. 53 The author believes that sporting activities _. （ A） are forms of biological de

47、velopment （ B） have actually developed from hunting （ C） are essentially forms of taming the prey . （ D） have changed the ways of hunting 54 In a football game what is equal to the prey in hunting is _. （ A） any member of the opposing team （ B） the goal keeper （ C） the goal-mouth （ D） the football 5

48、5 For over a million years, our forefathers were basically _. （ A） successful farmers （ B） co-operating hunters （ C） runners and jumpers （ D） skillful sportsmen 56 The word “operation“ ( Line 3, Para. 4 ) refers to _. （ A） sports activities （ B） hunting （ C） prey killing （ D） domesticating animals 5

49、7 Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage? （ A） It is farming that gives human beings enough leisure time for sporting activities. （ B） Farming is very important in human civilization because it saves human beings from risks and uncertainties of hunting for survival. （ C） It is hunting that provides human beings with much simpler ways of obtaining meaty meals. （ D） Sporting activities satisfy the
