I came to study in the United States a year ago. One day I was injured in a car accident and soon got to know the real American society 36 after the accident I had to see a doctor—and go to 37 .
After the accident, my roommate called a 38 for me. I was very grateful and determined to 39 him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $ 200 for what he had done. I was 40 . He had good reason to 41 me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my 42 , I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. 43 he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only 44 that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to 45 about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop 46 one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten 47 , and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all 48 the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me 49 . He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. Finally I decided to 50 him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my 51 , I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for 52 , … and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America 53 is everything. It is more important than 54 , honor or professional morality(职业道德). Secondly, foreigners are still being 55 treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

Practicing yoga(瑜伽) may be one way to prevent middle-aged spread, according to the findings of a new study.
Although the connection appears to be roundabout, yoga practitioners are clearly able to avoid—or at least minimize—the one-pound-a-year of gained weight that most people bear between the ages of 45 and 55.
The researchers used data from more than 15,000 men and women aged 53 to 57, who reported their weight at age 45 and their current weight.
Practicing yoga for 4 or more years, for at least 30 minutes once a week, resulted in a 3.1-pound lower weight gain among people who were normal weight at age 45. The yoga practitioners who were overweight at 45 lost an average of 5 pounds, as opposed to an average gain of 13 pounds in overweight nonpractitioners.
Dr. Alan R. Kristal, the lead author on the study and associate director of the cancer prevention program at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, emphasized that yoga was not a magic weight control technique. “There are many weight control strategies,” he said. “But none allows you to escape the laws of thermodynamics(热力学). If you take in more energy than you use up, then it will be stored as fat.”
But, he added, yoga offers “a safe and comfortable way for people who have never been physically active to begin regular physical activity.”
Unsurprisingly, the study found significant differences in lifestyle between those who exercised and those who did not. Yoga practitioners engaged in more physical activity apart from yoga than did nonpractitioners. Longtime practitioners had an 11 percent lower energy intake from fat and a 45 percent higher energy intake from fruits and vegetables.
Moreover, for an inactive person, yoga can be the beginning of more strenuous physical activity. Yoga practitioners time and again report that they feel “more connected” to their bodies, which may reduce food intake by helping increase awareness of being too full.
56. The underlined word “spread” in Paragraph 1 means “_________”.
A. becoming unhealthy B. becoming inactive
C. becoming slim D. becoming large
57. The researchers mentioned in the passage _______ in their research.
A. made comparisons B. used equipment
C. practiced yoga D. lost weight
58. On average, if a 160-pound person began to practise yoga at 45 regularly, he might weigh ______ pounds at 49.
A. 156.9 B. 147 C. 155 D. 142
B
The tower of Big Ben, London’s most famous building, has always leaned(倾斜) slightly, but construction work on a new line for the London Underground seemed likely to give the tower a real lean. Engineers have had to prop up(支撑) its base to prevent it from damaging the rest of the Houses of Parliament.
To control the tower’s movement, engineers pumped grout(水泥浆) into the soil under the tower. The tower now leans an extra few centimeters, but the lean can only be seen by the most sharp-eyed observer.
Between 1995 and 1997, to lengthen the Jubilee of the Underground, builders dug a 40-metre-deep hole just 31 metres north of the clock tower. And the new tube (underground) tunnels were even nearer to the tower. John Burland, who recently helped stop the increasing lean in the Leaning Tower of Pisa and was as adviser to the Jubilee line project, believed the work would affect the tower. In his opinion, no further lean should go beyond a safety limit of 27.5 millimetres over the existing lean of 220 millimetres.
To keep the lean within this limit, Burland told the British Association about the new method of pumping grout immediately under the base of the tower. More than 300 tons of grout were pumped in during construction. The tower’s additional lean went between 10 and 25 millimetres, but never passed 27.5 millimetres.
After the construction work completed in late 1997, a review of movements in nearby walls showed that the building was in better shape than had been thought before and the safety limit was raised to 35 millimetres before any action needs to be taken.
Since 1997, the tower has continued to lean, Burland told Modern Construction. The latest measurements, taken this year, suggest that the tower’s lean had just reached 35 millimetres. But following regular re-examinations of the tower, experts are sure that the tower has stabilized(稳定). A spokesman for London Underground says: “We understand the tower has stabilized and returned to its normal movement cycle.”
From Modern Construction, 16 September, 2000
59. Which of the following drawings correctly shows how the propping up construction was carried out?
60. What does the word “review” (in Paragraph 5) mean?
A. Observation. B. Description. C. Discussion. D. Re-examination.
61. What was the existing lean of the tower at the time when the article was written?
A. 220 millimetres. B. 255 millimetres. C. 35 millimetres. D. 27.5 millimetres.
62. We can infer from the article that _________.
A. the tower of Big Ben will damage the Houses of Parliament
B. the Jubilee line should be stopped in Burland’s opinion
C. the writer is blaming Burland for making a mistake
D. the propping up work has proved to be successful
C
If women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of instability(不稳定)? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
63. Designers and big stores always make money ______.
A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C. by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothing
D. because they always improve quality of women’s clothing
64. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as ______.
A. a quality of instability B. a waste of time
C. an expression of taste D. an expression of creativity
65. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _____ of clothing.
A. cost B. appearance C. comfort D. suitability
66. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B. The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
67. By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious”, the writer means that ______.
A. women’s changeableness in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
B. women are better able to put up with discomfort
C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion
D
Where do pesticides(杀虫剂) fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world?
We know that even single exposures(暴露) to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely serious poisoning. But this is not the major problem. the sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides are very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.
Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative(积累的) over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual(个体) may depend on the amount of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. “Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs,” says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, “yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed.”
68. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence “Man, …is part of nature.” (Lines 3—4, Para. 1)?
A. Man appears indifferent(漠不关心的) to what happens in nature.
B. Man acts as if he does not belong to nature.
C. Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.
D. Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental protection.
69. In the author’s view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of pesticides _______.
A. is not the worst of the negative consequences resulting from the use of pesticides
B. now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths
C. has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention
D. is unavoidable because people can’t do without pesticides in farming
70. People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals because ______.
A. limited exposure to them does little harm to people’s health
B. the present is more important for them than the future
C. the danger does not become obvious immediately
D. humans are able of withstanding(经得起) small amounts of poisoning
71. It can be concluded from what Dr. Dubos says that ______.
A. people find invisible diseases difficult to deal with
B. attacks by hidden enemies are obviously fatal
C. diseases with obvious signs are easy to cure
D. people tend to fail to notice hidden dangers caused by pesticides

TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetables. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.
But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20～50 cm by 2050. A century ago. St. Marks’s Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu’s rising sea level is caused by global warming.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1～3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10～25 cm in the last 100 years.
The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.
Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.
72. We can infer from the second paragraph that ______.
A. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea
B. all Tuvalu’s islands are about five meters above the sea level
C. drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed
D. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves
73. Put the following events in the right order.
a. Glaciers begin to melt. b. People burn coal, oil and gas.
c. The greenhouse effect is growing. d. The earth is getting warmer and warmer.
e. The sea level is rising. f. More CO2 is produced.
g. Many places are sinking into the sea.
A. d,f,b,c,a,e,g B. b,f,c,d,e,a,g C. f,c,b,d,a,e,g D. b,f,c,d,a,e,g
74. What does “climate refugees” mean?
A. People who are forced away from their homeland by climate. B. Climate changes.
C. Rare animals. D. Climate effect.
75. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Tuvalu’s nine little islands are less than five meters above the sea level.
B. The average global temperature has risen by 1～3 centigrade degrees over the past 100
years.
C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.
D. There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped.

With the increase of the number of private cars in recent years, there have been more road accidents in our city. According to a police report, 387 road accidents happened in 2005, with an economic loss of over 5 million yuan. 25 people were killed and 189 injured in these accidents, which made up nearly a third of all accidents. What’s worse, road accidents are tending to increase.
Most road accidents are caused by driving against traffic regulations or by careless driving. Some pedestrians also disobey traffic rules. Therefore, people must be constantly warned of the danger on the road. The police should enforce the regulations strictly. Everyone should obey traffic rules for the safety of all people.
