Eachpassage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B) C) and D). You should decide on thebest choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a singleline through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on thefollowing passage: In the 1960s, medical researchers ThomasHolmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. Theyappreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negativeevents like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but sowere some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take theHolmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you dealwith stress — it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now knowthat the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances ofstaying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similarstudies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work andlive under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boileddown to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stresscauses illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, thearticles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossibleto follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many — like the death of aloved one — are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid allstressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since anychange can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stresswould never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sickalso ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re allvulnerable (脆弱的) andpassive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come throughperiods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. Wealso know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, andphysical and metal strain. 21. Theresult of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us __________. A)the way you handle major events may cause stress B)what should be done to avoid stress C)what kind of event would cause stress D)how to cope with sudden changes in life 22. Thestudies on stress in the early 1970’sled to _________. A)widespread concern over its harmful effects B)great panic over the mental disorder it could cause C)an intensive research into stress-related illnesses D)popular avoidance of stressful jobs 23. Thescore of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________. A)how much pressure you are under B)how positive events can change your life C)how stressful a major event can be D)how you can deal with life-changing events 24. Whyis “such simplistic advice” (Line 1, Para. 3) impossible to follow? A)No one can stay on the same job for long. B)No prescription is effective in relieving stress. C)People have to get married someday. D)You could be missing opportunities as well. 25. According to the passagepeople who have experienced ups and downs may become ________. A)nervous when faced with difficulties B)physically and mentally strained C)more capable of coping with adversity D)indifferent toward what happens to them Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on thefollowing passage: Most episodes of absent-mindedness —forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room —are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. “You’re supposed toremember something, but you haven’t encoded it deeply.” Encoding, Schacter explains, is a specialway of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling itlater. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you putyour mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what youdid because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that thephone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe (衣柜). “Your memory itself isn’tfailing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system theinformation it needed.” Lack of interest can also lead toabsent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,”says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women haveslightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention totheir environment, and memory relies on just that. Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness,says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available,” he cautions. Ifyou want to remember to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table — don’t leaveit in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket. Another common episode ofabsent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Mostlikely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from timeto time,” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you werebefore entering the room, and you’ll likely remember. 26. Whydoes the author think that encoding properly is very important? A)It helps us understand our memory system better. B)It enables us to recall something form our memory. C)It expands our memory capacity considerably. D)it slows down the process of losing our memory. 27. Onepossible reason why women have better memories than men is that ________. A)they have a wider range of interests B)they are more reliant on the environment C)they have an unusual power of focusing their attention D)they are more interested in what’s happening around them 28. Anote in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because _________. A)it will easily get lost B)it’s not clear enough for you to read C)it’s out of your sight D)it might get mixed up with other things 29. Whatdo we learn from the last paragraph? A)If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget another. B)Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment. C)Repetition helps improve our memory. D)If we keep forgetting things, we’d better return to where we were. 30. Whatis the passage mainly about? A)The process of gradual memory loss. B)The causes of absent-mindedness. C)The impact of the environment on memory. D)A way if encoding and recalling. Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on thefollowing passage: It is hard to track the blue whale, theocean’s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercialwhaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices toit is difficult, and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insightinto its behavior. So biologists were delighted early thisyear when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a particular bluewhale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’sformerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans. Tracking whales is but one example of anexciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war asthe Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwaterlistening system built over the decades to track the ships of potentialenemies. Earth scientists announced at a newsconference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring adeep-sea volcanic eruption (爆发) for the first time and that they plan similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use thenetwork for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly onemile a second — slower than through land but faster than through air. What ismost important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds,focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’sear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in theocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles. 31. Thepassage is chiefly about ________. A)an effort to protect an endangered marine species B)the civilian use of a military detection system C)the exposure of a U.S. Navy top-secret weapon D)a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales 32. Theunderwater listening system was originally designed ________. A)to trace and locate enemy vessels B)to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions C)to study the movement of ocean currents D)to replace the global radio communications network 33. Thedeep-sea listening system makes use of ________. A)the sophisticated technology of focusing sounds under water B)the capability of sound to travel at high speed C)the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting sound D)low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water 34. Itcan be inferred from the passage that ________. A)new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales B)blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system C) opinionsdiffer as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use militarytechnology D)military technology has great potential in civilian use 35. Whichof the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network? A)It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists. B)It has been replaced by a more advanced system. C)It became useless to the military after the cold war. D)It is indispensable in protecting endangered species. Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on thefollowing passage: The fitness movement that began in thelate 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise (有氧操). Millions of individuals becameengaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of healthspas developed around the country to capitalize (获利) on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancingfor females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement,even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However, their focus wasnot on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscularmass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts. Thesefitness spas did not seem to benefit financially form the aerobic fitness movementto better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programsoffered few, if any, health benefits. In recent years, however, weight traininghas again become increasingly popular for males and for females. Many currentprograms focus not only on developing muscular strength and endurance but onaerobic fitness as well. Historically, most physical-fitness tests haveusually included measures of muscular strength and endurance, not forhealth-related reasons, but primarily because such fitness components have beenrelated to performance in athletics. However, in recent years, evidence hasshown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strengthand endurance might also offer some health benefits as well. The American College of Sports Medicine nowrecommends that weight training be part of a total fitness program for healthyAmericans. Increased participation in such training is one of the specificphysical activity and fitness objectives of Healthy People 2000: NationalHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives. 36.

Read the passagecarefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewestpossible words(not exceeding 10 words). As researchers learn moreabout how children's intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power ofparents. The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, all the factors whichare part of intelligence — the child's understandingof language, learning patterns, curiosity — areestablished well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children'sachievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learningthat is language- related. The school rather than the homeis given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science. In view of their power, it's sad to see so manyparents not making the most of their child's intelligence. Until recentlyparents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate theirchildren. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only atschool and parents are being asked tocontribute both before and after the child enters school. Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Ofcourse, children shouldn't be pushed to read by their parents, but educatorshave discovered that reading is best taught individually — and the easiestplace to do this is at home. Many four-and five-year-olds who have been shown afew letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own withthem even before they have been taught to read.
