12、ization from dying through lack of power. Section A 25 The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all

13、enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refus

14、e to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often c

15、ause a difficulty. As one example , a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related be

16、haviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choice. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the m

17、orals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quanti

18、ty of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity. 26 The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because_. （ A） personal health choices help cure most illnesses （ B） it helps ra

19、ise the level of our medical knowledge （ C） it is essential to personal freedom in American society （ D） wrong decisions could lead to poor health 27 To “ live a completely sedentary life-style“ (Para. 1, Line 7) in the passage means （ A） to live an inactive life （ B） to live a decent life （ C） to l

20、ive a life with complete freedom （ D） to live a life of vice 28 A sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because_. （ A） current medical knowledge is still insufficient （ B） there are many factors influencing our decisions （ C） few people are willing to trade the quality of life for

21、longevity （ D） people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends 29 To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to （ A） improving the quality of ones life （ B） limiting ones personal health choice （ C） deliberately ending ones life （ D） breaking

22、the rules of social behavior 30 According to Fries and Crapo sound health choices should be based on_. （ A） personal decisions （ B） laws of society （ C） statistical evidence （ D） opinions of friends Section B 30 The secret of the successful handshake is no secret anymore. Management consultant Rober

23、t E. Brown explains what shaking hands is all about in his book The Art, the Power, the Magic; How to Read Hands that Talk. For example, to do the “ All-American Handshake“ , you have to look into another persons eyes, grasp his or her whole hand, and pump it two or three times. According to Brown,

24、this is the hand-shake of a good listener and trustworthy person. Politicians and salespeople often use the “Two-Handed Shake“ because its extra-friendly. Two-handed shakers put their left hand on the other person s arm or shoulder as they shake hands. This can feel too friendly to some people, so i

25、ts best to use it with good friends. Watch out for people with handshakes that pull your fingers, or twist and crush your hand. If you get one of these handshakes, the person is trying to intimidate you. Two more uncomfortable handshakes are the “ Palm Pinch“ and the “Dead Fish“. A Palm Pincher shak

26、es your hand with only a few fingers. In the Dead Fish shake, the persons hand slides out of the handshake. Its possible that the people with these handshakes are embarrassed or shy. Shaking hands is an important part of body language. It can identify someone as truthful, friendly, powerful or nervo

27、us. Its hard to be successful without mastering a good handshake such as the All-American. If this isnt your natural handshake, dont worry. Mr. Brown says that you can change your handshake with lots of practice. So, go on out there and start shaking hands. Just think of all the people you can meet.

28、 31 Who is Robert E. Brown? 32 What is the name of the book written by Robert E. Brown? 33 How many kinds of handshakes are mentioned in the passage? 34 What is a Dead Fish handshake? 35 Why is it important to learn how to shake hands well? Section C 35 Think of lavender today and up come images of

29、old-world cottage gardens thick with nodding hollyhocks and pink roses round the door. Its a prime player in lots of potpourri concoctions for that reason. But recently its been seen as more than just a pretty scent. In the last few years, clinical trials have been conducted on essential oil of lave

30、nder. Scientists have been studying its potential in the treatment of various health problems. In the days of folk medicine lavender oil was considered to be one of the most useful all-round remedies, particularly for its soothing and antiseptic qualities. It was used for a wide range of treatments

31、: a drop on a restless childs pillow for a good nights sleep or a little massaged into the temples to relieve a headache or mild depression. It was even used as a rough-and-ready antiseptic by soldiers in the First World War. And it goes back much further than that: the Romans used the oil so widely

32、 to perfume their baths that its Latin name Lavandula, derives from their verb to bathe. Lavenders healing properties were first discovered by accident. In 1910 a French chemist and perfumer burnt himself in a laboratory explosion. He plunged his singed hand into the nearest liquid which happened to

33、 be lavender essence and was so impressed with the results that he devoted 50 years to studying the properties of essential oils. Pharmaceutical companies influenced by growing ecological concerns as the rest of us have begun to reappraise many traditional treatments. Some of the most effective drug

34、s we use in modern medicine derive from natural remedies. 36 The image of lavender is mainly connected to its_. 37 Lavender was often used to ease pains and disinfect for its_qualities. 38 “A drop on a restless childs pillow for a good nights sleep“ is an example of lavenders _quality. 39 The resear

35、ch into the healing properties of lavender was being carried out at the beginning of _century. 40 Official medicine has begun to reappraise many traditional treatments and_. Section D 40 Stereotypes are troublesome because they are often indiscriminate, exhibit an allness orientation , and can produ

36、ce frozen evaluations. Considering the pervasiveness of stereotyping in our society , one should not take it lightly. When we stereotype we define a person and this definition, superficial at best, can be quite powerful. To stereotype is to define and to define is to control, especially if the defin

37、ition is widely accepted regardless of its accuracy. In a male dominated society women may be stereotyped as empty-headed and illogical. The fact that the stereotype has persisted for years manifests the control men have over women, control that excludes women from executive positions and relegates

38、them to mindless housekeeping duties. Womens liberation is fundamentally the struggle to define, to reject male stereotypes of females. Stereotypes are sometimes seductive, however. When women are told repeatedly that they are stupid, they may begin believing it. A self-fulfilling prophecy may devel

39、op. Low self-esteem produced from male definitions of women as unintelligent can lead to poor performance and the consequent belief that the stereotype has merit. The stereotype is thus nurtured and perpetuated. Stereotyping can thus control, insidiously imprisoning its victims in constraining roles

40、. So whole stereotyping isnt intrinsically evil. Most stereotypes lack empirical foundations and are assertions of power and dominance over less powerful groups. Reduced to an abstraction, victims of stereotyping must struggle to define themselves or be content to accept roles others have carved out

41、 for them. It is little wonder our society has been experiencing turmoil. Summary: We can see that stereotypes are dangerous because they are indiscriminate, are inclined toward【 41】 _and give a frozen evaluation. They also define and【 42】_people if the stereotypes are widely accepted. Women, for ex

42、ample, have to【 43】 _to reject mens stereotypes of females. Sometimes stereotypes are seductive. People believe these images, so they become【 44】 _. An image can control its victims, imprisoning them in roles. Even most stereotypes arent true, victims of stereotyping must struggle to【 45】 _or accept

43、 the bad image others have made up. Section A 45 Observe a child j any one will do.【 46】 You will see that not a day passes in which he does not find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the next moment. Then look at a man; any one of us will do.【 47】 You will notice that

44、weeks and months can pass in which he greets the day with nothing more than resignation, and endures each one with polite indifference.【 48】 Indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin perhaps their sin is their indifference. But it is true that they so seldom smil

45、e that when they do we do not recognize their faces, so distorted are they from the fixed masks we take for granted.【 49】 And e-yen then a man cannot smile like a child for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. It is not a smile but a grin, something to do with humo

46、r, but little to do with happiness.【 50】 And then, as anyone can see, there is a point (but who can define that point?) when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again. Section B 51 爆炸力相当强大，方圆二十英里的树木均被炸毁。 (sothat) 52 他放弃出国的机会，这可真奇怪。 (It isthat 句型 ) 53 那位老妇人受了打击，需要安慰。 (comfort ) 54 的确，我们在

Martins train journey takes twice as long as James. Martin leaves 15 minutes before Femi and arrives at noon. Jame
