Why dots tPe woodptckeT ygsh the men? Becuuse there owe wewns in his head, and the worms are called “greed” or ”selfishness”. Hwoop bsihgs hnve been cutting down the trees in the forests because they need wood and more farmland. The areas of forests are getting smaller and smaller. If the forests disappear, dust stoiros will occur frequently. Human beings will be punished for their forest- destroying IRiRwes sooner or later.

We must face the situation and take actions to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict control over deforestation and the public must realize the imgo]hencc of psptectihg the foreets.

We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. (3 ) Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer. Researchers say it is not important how far you run. It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run. As advertisements for the running shoe Nike say, “just do it. ”

Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About one-fourth of the adults reported they ran regularly. The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners to die of any form of disease, including heart disease. (4) In fact, thn runners lived, on average, three years longer than the non-runners. Compared to non-runners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes, including heart attack, stroke or cancer.

Pasdge One

(16) It is what failed dieters have long suspected： Fat people really can’t keep the weight off. Scientists have confirmed that the majority of overweight people who try to lose weight either by cutting calories or exercising will return to their former size. Fewer than 10 percent of the 12 million Britons who go on a diet each year succeed in losing significant amounts of weight and most of those who do put it all back on again within a year. The scientists, from the Medical Research CounciFs National Survey of Health and Development, followed 5,362 men and women from their birth in 1946 and 20,000 from birth in 1958, measuring their weight and blood pressure and assessing their lifestyles. They found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and had steadily increased in size ever since. Dr. Rebecca Hardy, the councifs program leader on body size, ( 17 ) said, “ Once people become overweight, they continue relentlessly upwards. They hardly ever go back down. It is better to avoid getting fat in the first place. For men, weight goes up steadily through life. For women, it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties. ⁿ Experts have suggested evolution means we are programmed to put on weight rather than lose it. (18) Dieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake triggers the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends,

 

making it even h颯der to lose weight. But the study’s findings do not mean dieting is pointless, so eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure.

Questions 16 to 18 ess based on the passage you have just heard.

16. What have the failed dieters suspected? C)。
17. What do scientists find after the long-time observation? D)。
18. role does dieting play in losing weight according to the passage? A) _o

also economic losses. Farmers lose money when they have to throw away products that they cannot sell quickly. But in 1995, a teacher in northern Nigeria named Mohammed Bah Abba found a solution. He developed the ^u Pot-in-Pot Preservationⁿ or ^u Cooling SystemIt uses two round containers made of clay (泥土). A smaller pot is placed inside a larger one. The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand. The inner pot can be filled with fruit, vegetables or drinks. A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system. (24) Food in the smaller pot is kept from spoiling through a simple evaporation process. Water in the sand between the two pots evaporates through the surface of the larger pot, where drier outside air is moving. The evaporation process creates a drop in temperature of several degrees. This cools the inner pot and helps keep food safe from harmful bacteria. The invention became popular with farmers in other African countries. (25) Mohammed Bah Abba personally financed the 鱼st 5,000 pot-in-pot systems for his own community and 仓ve villages nearby. In 2000, the Rolex Watch Company of Switzerland honored him with the Rolex Award for Enterprise. This award recognizes people trying to develop projects aimed at improving human knowledge and well-being.

Part III Reading Comprehension

Section A

口文章大意

本文介绍了随着时代的发展,妇女在社会工作中所扮演角色的变化，并交待了引起这些变化的原因。

邑试题详解

26. J）。详解从语境上看，本文介绍的是妇女的社会工作的变化;而且首句已经指出越来越多的妇女

走入职场，由此可见,这里应该表示在家庭之外，故用outside 一词。

27. D）% 详解 从语法的角度看,这里缺少的是形容词。从语义的角度看，本句主要介绍的是19世纪末期

妇女从事的主要职业，如教师、护理及家政服务类。因此，应该选择domestic“内务的，家务的”。

28. N）。 详解从语法的角度看，这里缺少的是修饰rose（ $se的过去式）的‘词。从语境来看，本段介

绍的是19世纪90年代到20世纪初妇女工作比例的变化：由原先的17%上升到20% %可见，这 十年间的上升幅度是不太显著的，因此，应该选择slightly“细微地，少量地”。

29. M）% 详解这里介绍的是20世纪30年代经济大萧条之际妇女的工作情况。从many people

became unemployed （许多人失业了）可以看出，当时的工作岗位是稀少的。所以本题应选 scarce （稀少的）%

30. B） % 详解从the United States was fighting WorlO War II 和 many jobs opened up ts women 可以

看出，美国加入二战的行列，男人被征召入伍，他们空出的岗位只能对妇女开放了。从语法的角度 看,call up为固定搭配，有“号召，征召”的意思。

31. G） % 详解 从语境来看，前文提到的行业场所诸如textile and garment factories来看，妇女从事的

工业类型是轻工业；从for the first time可以看出，这里从事的是另一种工业类型，即重工业 （heavy industry） %

32. E） % 详解 根据语法可知，本句缺少一个谓语动词，从They felt that the jobs should go to the men

returning from war. 一句可以看出，这些人是委婉地表明他们的态度，即期望妇女把工作岗位让 给男人。因此，这里应选择expected“期望）。

33. L）。 详解 空格所在的上下句的意思为“到了 20世纪50年代，外出工作的女性减少了，而能供女性

选择的工作也减少了。”再由空格后面的open可以看出，此处需要一个能充当系动词的动词，? 选项中只有L）项有这一用法，故选remained（保留”。

34. K）。 详解从句子结构上看，这里缺少的是充当主语的名词;从语境来看，本文提到的数字都是以

百分比的形式出现的。所以，这里应该选percent”比率，百分数”而不是amount（数量”。

35. O）。合详解文章的末尾介绍的是20世纪70年代以后妇女工作情况的变化。从stockbroke$,

doctorr，and lawyerr可以看出，妇女的职位又增加了，不再局限于以前提到的那些传统职位。因 此，这里应该选traditional”传统的” %
