That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people

18、 go in diet. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?

19、 Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat? Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 pe

20、rcent more than their ideal weight.

21、uce enough power for 900, 000 cars to go 12, 000 miles.Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books.

Historical records say they were large in size; some were powerful enough to carry men up in the air to observe enemy moveme

26、nts, and others were used to scatter some information over hostile forces.During the Tang Dynasty(618907) , people began to fix on kites some bamboo(竹子)strips which, when high in the air, would ring in the wind like a zheng(a traditional Chinese musical instrument). Since then, the popular Chinese n

27、ame for the kite has become fengzheng. The kites made today in some places are fixed with silk strings or rubber bands to give out pleasant ringing in the wind.It was also believed, for instance, during the Qing Dynasty( 16441911) , that flying a kite and then letting it go, apart from the pleasure

28、in itself, might send off ones bad luck and illness. Consequently it would bring him bad luck if one should pick up a kite lost by other people. This may be regarded as superstition (迷信) but may not be altogether without reason: think of the good it will do to a person, ill and depressed all the tim

29、e, if he or she could go out into the fields and fresh air to fly a kite.Chinese kites fall into two major types: those with wings that can be taken apart and those with wings that are fixed. The former can be taken apart and packed in boxes. Easy to carry about, they make good presents. The second

30、type refers to those with fixed structure, they fly better and higher, given a steady wind, classified by designs and other standards, there are no less than 300 varieties, including human figures, fish, insects, birds, animals and written Chinese characters. In size, they range from 304 meters to o

31、nly 30 centimeters across.41 What is the use of silk strings or rubber bands fixed to the kites?（A）To make the kites look more pleasant.（B） To make the kites have strong structures.（C） To make the kites produce pleasant sounds.（D）To make the kites fly faster in the wind.42 Which of the following is

35、ve large sizes and peculiar structures.45 One of Britains few distinctive contributions to world culture may come to an end, according to a survey that suggests holiday postcards are more and more given up because of emails and instant messages in mobile phones.More than half of the 1000 holiday-mak

36、ers interviewed said they had decided to send fewer cards, turning instead to their electronic rivals. A quarter of the respondents (受调查者) regard postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive. A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging, compared with a ca

37、ll home.Although officially invented by a Hungarian, Emanuel Herrmann, in 1869, the idea of illustrated cards was taken up with most enthusiasm in Victorian Britain, joining Gothic architecture and landscape gardening as fields for which the country was famous.“If the British postcard did disappear,

38、 we would lose forever something of great importance to the nation, “said Chris Mottershead of Thomson Holidays, which did the survey. He was backed by Marie Angelou of Sussex University, who has investigated the importance of sending and receiving postcards. “Postcards are nothing like phone calls,

39、 instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile, “she said. “All these are useful, practical devices, but postcards offer something else, something additional that is not simply functional, but imaginative and personal. They can create the real atmosphere of your holiday in a way that nothin

40、g else can do. They are also for more than a momentwith some people adding them to collections built up over years and years.46 Who first got the idea of illustrated cards?（A）Emanuel Herrmann.（B） Victorian Britain.（C） Chris Mottershead.（D）Marie Angelou.47 The word challenging (in paragraph 2) probab

41、ly means_.（A）interesting（B） expensive（C） difficult（D）dishonest48 The reason why some people refuse to give up postcards is that_（A）it is not convenient for people to use emails now（B） it is not convenient for people to use instant messages（C） sending postcards can be more fashionable（D）sending postc

42、ards can create a holiday atmosphere49 We can learn from the last paragraph that_.（A）it is necessary for people to use phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile（B） unlike phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile, postcards are not functional（C） it

43、 is necessary for people to use postcards in spite of the convenience provided by other devices（D）postcards are completely the same as phone calls, instant messages and others50 We can infer from the passage that_.（A）postcards will disappear in a few years because of other devices of communication（B

44、） peoples happiness in sending and receiving postcards can only last a moment（C） postcard collecting might be one of the reasons why some people still like the postcards（D）without postcards, people will have less communication with others50 Despite a cooling of the economy, high-technology companies

45、 are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800, 000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U. S. economy.The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is

46、 that the countrys agrarian-age (农村时代) education system fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for the 21st century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible (明确的) but equally powerful cause is an antique (过时的) classific

47、ation system that divides the workforce into two camps; white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual laborers.Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work moved from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twent

48、ieth century, outnumbering(多于) the blue-collar workers by mid-century. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker; a highly skilled multi-disciplined talent, who combines the mind of the white-collar worker with a solid grounding in mathematics and science ( physics, chemistry

49、, and biology). These “gold-collar“ workersso named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy as well as for their personal earning abilityapply their knowledge to technology.The gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs. The maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraft systems at American Airlines; the network administ
