题型描述: 阅读理解In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn’t watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat. (183 words)1、 The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. they work too hard B. they are too slim C. they lose too much body fat D. they are too fat 2、 According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ people will have a “weight problem.” A. 150 B. 50 C. 30 D. 100 3、 Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem?” A. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true. B. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this. C. Yes, there is plenty of evidence. D. We don’t know because the information is not given. 4、 In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. ate less food but had more activities B. ate less food and had less physical exercise C. ate more food and had more physical activities D. had more weight problems 5、 Modern scientific researches have reported to us that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

题型描述: 阅读理解Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer（自由撰稿者）, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering “what if”. I would keep putting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland （虚幻世界）of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. (262 words)1、 The passage is meant to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. encourage young people to pursue a writing career B. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame C. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer D. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience 2、 What can be concluded from the passage? A. The chances for a writer to become successful are small. B. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation. D. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. 3、 Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book. B. He found his dream would never come true. C. He hadn’t seen a change for the better. D. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year. 4、 “…People who die wondering “what if” (Line 3, Para.3) refers to “those _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ”. A. who regret giving up their career halfway B. who are full of imagination even upon death C. who think too much of the dark side of life D. who think a lot without making a decision 5、 “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. a world that exists only in one’s imagination B. the bright future that one is looking forward to C. the wonderland one often dreams about D. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached

题型描述: 阅读理解Almost every society has certain traditional ideas about marriage. For example, most societies expect men and women to marry. Most cultures also have traditions about the role and duties of a husband and a wife. Traditionally, the husband is expected to earn a living, and the wife is expected to keep house and raise children.Many Americans did not follow traditional marriage patterns. For example, a large number of married couples share responsibilities that have been traditionally handled by either the husband or the wife. An increasing number of married women have paying jobs and help support their families financially. In 1940, about 15 percent of all married women earned money. In the early 1990s, about 60 percent held a full- or part-time job. More and more husbands share responsibilities traditionally handled by women, such as cooking, doing housework, and caring for children.On the average, men and women stay single longer than they once did. In 1950s, men married at an average age of 23, and women married at an average age of 20. By the mid-1990s, the average marriage age was about 26.5 for men and about 24.5 for women.An increasing number of people choose not to marry. If a man and a woman wish to avoid marriage, they may decide to live together with no formal obligations to each other. This arrangement is more common among young adults, but some couples of all ages live together without marrying.1、 Most societies expect men and women to marry and have traditions about the role and duties of a husband and a wife. A. F B. T 2、 All Americans would like to follow the traditional marriage patterns. A. F B. T 3、 The number of married women with a paying job to support their families financially is increasing. A.

题型描述: 阅读理解America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly the graying of America. has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages. A personˊs age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesnˊt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public notions are changing. Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother — or my father — was at my age." No one says "act your age" anymore. Weˊve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.1、 It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America . A. has changed peopleˊs social position B. has changed peopleˊs understanding of age C. has slowed down the countryˊs social development D. has made people feel younger 2、 The underlined word “one” refers to . A. a place B. a society C. population D. America 3、 We can infer from the text that if a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer would most probably consider it _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. normal B. unbelievable C. wonderful D. unreasonable 4、 “Act your age” means people should . A. be active when they are old B. do the right thing at the right age C. take more physical exercise suitable to their age D. show respect for their parents young or old 5、 This passage is mainly about _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. why American society is different B. how American peopleˊs ideas about age have changed C. suitable behaviors at different age in Americanˊs eyes D. how older people act in youthful ways in America

题型描述: 阅读理解What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientistˊs knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the con?ditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in sci?ence. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einsteinˊs ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1、 What makes a scientist according to the passage? A. His ways of learning. B. The various tools he uses. C. The tools he uses. D. The way he uses his tools. 2、 "The scientist, however, goes one step further…" The author says this to show _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs B. the importance of thinking C. the importance of information D. the difference between scientists and ordinary people 3、 A sound scientific theory should be one that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. leaves no room for improvement B. does not allow any changes even under different conditions C. can be used for many purposes D. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times 4、 The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations B. that accuracy of mathematics C. that the investigations are important in science D. that measurements are keys to success in science 5、 What is the main idea of the passage?
