Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

About 70 million Americans are trying to loss weight. That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the

United States. Some people go on ideas. This means they eat less certain foods, especially fats and

sugars. Other people exercise with especial 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?

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 weight at least 20

percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United State is the most overweight country in the wild.

“The stored fat of adult Americans weight 2.3 trillion pounds,” says University of Massachusetts

anthropologist (人类学家) George Armelagos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce

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. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of

new books like these are written. Each one boasts to help people to get rid of fat.

11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way of losing weight?

A. To eat less fats and sugars. B. To work hard.

12. Many Americans are trying to lose weight because .

A. they want to look attractive

C. they want to keep fit

B. they are misled by doctors

D. both A and C

13. The figures given in the second paragraph suggest that .

3

B. cars consume a lot of money

C. Americans need lose weight D. excess of fat can be a source of energy

14. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .

A. diet books are not always effective

C. there are lots of ways of losing weight

B. diet books are usually helpful

D. bookstores are keeping their promises

15. It can be concluded from the passage that .

A. people think too much of their appearance

B. there is not a sure way of losing weight as yet

C. surgery is the fastest way of losing weight

D. going on diet is a safe way of losing weight

Passage 4

(非英语类学生必做)

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my

school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader’s Digest

to test our vocabulary.

Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out “It pays to Enrich Your Word Power” first when

the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader’s Digest knows the

power that words have to move people—to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that

the big word isn’t always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote form the February

1985 issue: ” Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk.”

Nineteen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That’s usually

how it is with Reader’s Digest. Small and simple can be profound.

As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I’ve been making a lot of speeches

lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like “hope”, “guts”, “faith”,

“dreams”. Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned

that a small word can work a small miracle—if it’s right word, in the right place, at the right time. It’s a

“secret” that I hope never forget.

16. The passage is mainly about .

A. one of the many old memories

B. using simple words to express profound ideas

4

C. Reader’s Digest and school speeches

D. how to make effective speeches

17. It seems that Reader’s Digest is a magazine popular with .

A. people of all ages B. teenagers C. school teachers D. elderly readers

18. The example the author gives in the second paragraph might mean .

A. one spends his day playing and drinking

B. don’t waste your time as one does

C. time slips easily if you don’t make good use of it

D. time is just like drinking milk from a bowl

19. The author’s “secret” is .

A. to avoid using big words at any time

B. to use words that have the power to move people

C. to work a miracle by using a small word

D. to use small and simple words where possible

20. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people .

A. hope, courage and ideas

B. confidence, determination and strength

C. pleasure, knowledge and encourage

D. entertainment, information and power

(英语类学生必做)

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35 million

Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are

“developmental”, i.e., they occur prior to the individual’s twenty-second birthday, often form genetic

conditions, and are severe enough to effect three or more areas of development, such as mobility,

communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious”, i.e., accidental or

caused by outside forces.

Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long.

Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services

have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expert to have such basic needs as food,

shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basic are often not available. Civil liberties such as

5

the right to vote, marry, get an education, and again employment have historically been denied on the

basic of disability.

In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to flight against these

infringements (侵害) of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people

with disabilities as protected class under civil rights statutes.

Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that

more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do

work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.

Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from

taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no

access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to

the development of long-term relationships.

It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws are that disabled people will be fully able

to take to their right place in society.

16. ”developmental” disability .

A. develops very slowly over time

C. occurs in youth and affects development

B. is caused forces

D. is getting more and more severe

17. Most disabled people used to die early because .

A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functions

C. medical techniques were not available

B. they were not very well looked after

D. they were too poor to get proper treatment

18. In the author’s opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society, .

A. more laws should be passed

C. government should provide more aids

B. public attitudes should be changed

D. more public facilities should be act up

19. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?

A. Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.

B. The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.

C. The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them.

D. Discriminatory (有差别的) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.

20. The best title for this passage might be .

A. Handicaps of People with Disabilities

C. The Causes for Disabilities

6

B. The Difficulties of the Disabled

D. Medical Treatments for Disabilities

thing you can do is experiment 62 you find a system that does work for you. But one thing is sure: 63

else can do your studying for you. Meantime, there are a few rules that 64 for everybody. The hint is

“doesn’t get 65 “. The problem of studying, 66 enough to start with, becomes almost 67 when you are

trying to do 68 in one weekend. 69 the fastest readers have trouble 70 that. And if you are behind in

written work that must be 71 , the teacher who accept it 72 late will probably not give you good credit.

Perhaps he may not accept it 73 . Getting behind in one class because you are spending so much time

on another is really no 74 . Feeling pretty virtuous about the seven hours you spend on chemistry won’t

75 one bit if the history teacher pops a quiz. And many freshmen do get into trouble by spending too

much time on one class at the 76 of the others, either because they like one class much better or

because they find it so much harder than they think, they should 77 all their time to it. 78 the reason,

going the whole work for one class and neglecting the rest of them is a mistake, if you face this 79 ,

consumed. If people want to have a healthy and good life in the long future, they have to form the habit

of saving things.

Actually, for and individual, there are many things worth saving, such as water, food, power, etc. As

is known to all, water shortage has been a serious problem in many areas and countries. For example, in

the west area of China, many people store rain for cleaning and cooking. Since drinkable water is limited

in the world, we should save water as possible as we can in our daily life. For the same reason, we

should also save power. We can limit the time of using air conditioners, and set the temperature not too

high or too low. Turn off lights when we leave. Use towel instead of facial paper to save paper. Stop

using once-and-away chopsticks to save wood. If everyone can form good habit of saving, we can make

great contributions to the whole world.

Only by saving can we protect our environment for a better world both for ourselves and for the

future generations.
