第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
There is an English saying: “ Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial (有益的).
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.英才苑
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
36. Doctors have proved the following except that ________.
A. smiling does good to health B. laughter can be tolerated
C. there is a way to reduce pain D. laughter can work the muscles in the feet
37. The main idea of the passage is _______.
A. laughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human body
B. smile can produce the same effects as laughter
C. pain can be reduced by laughter
D. laughter is the best medicine
38. The students who________tolerated the pain for the longest time.
A. listened to different radio programmes B. could produce a kind of chemical
C. don’t have stress of pain D. listened to a funny programme
39. The underlined word “diminish” is similar to________.
A. test B. stop C. reduce D. increase
B
So you have been called for an interview—well done. Your effort has paid off. Now go to get the job. You will feel better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization.
Ask someone who already does it or check it out with one of the advisers.
Ask a member of family or a friend to act as the employer and to give you a practice interview. Be as realistic as possible, answer the questions seriously. Afterwards discuss how it went.
Think about how the employer would prefer to see your look. Remember the majority of employers are over 30. It is not wise to rush out and buy new clothes that will be worn for the first time at the interview. You’ll feel more at ease in a familiar dress.
Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job. Arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time. This will give you a chance to have a look around, read the notice board and get the feel of the place. Being late at interviews produces a bad impression. The first impression the interviewer gets of you is formed as you walk through the door, so take a couple of deep breaths.
Be ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers.
Don’t take a seat until asked. Then sit comfortably.
Make eye contact when you are greeted and again if you shake hands, and during questioning. Eye contact is a form of non-verbal greeting.
Remember the interviewer’s name and use it from time to time.
Be ready for the question “Is there anything you want to ask?” Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions. Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to improve your prospects in the employer’s estimation. Asking can show knowledge and avoid asking about holidays, pension (养老金) and so on. It looks as if you are tired even before you begin. You can check on these later when the hoped-for job is offered.
And if you fail…look upon the interview as an experience in itself. Learn from it.
We wish you good luck and good job hunting.
40. To make a good impression on the interviewer, it is important for you ________.
A. to walk through the door quietly
B. not to wear your fine clothes
C. not sit down in front of the interviewer
D. to remember the interviewer’s name and use it sometimes
41. Which of the following can you do during a job interview?
A. Ask the interviewer some personal questions such as age, marriage.
B. Discuss the pay, holidays and such things with the interviewer.
C. Be courageous enough to say something about your advantage in choosing the job.
D. Remain quiet to show your calmness.
42. In which order do people usually do these steps before a job interview?
a. Asking a friend to give you a practice interview.
b. Understanding the nature of the organization.
c. Paying attention to your clothes.
d. Arriving at the place of the interview ahead of time.
e. Getting some information from the advisers.
A. a, e, b, c, d B. d, c, b, a, e C. b, e, a, c, d D. e, d, a, b, c
43. The underlined sentence “Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job” means________.
A. if you are careless, you’re sure to pay for some money for the interview
B. carelessness might result in your failure in the interview
C. to be successful in job hunting, you should pay for it
D. it sometimes needs carelessness to make you feel comfortable
C
More people around the world are becoming too fat. The World Heart Federation reports that the number of over weight and obese (肥胖的) people is increasing. The organization says about 700 million people around the world weigh too much. It says about 300 million adults are obese. Obese people are fatter than those who are simply overweight.
Health experts fear this increase in obesity will lead to an increase in the number of people with heart disease and stroke. The World Heart Federation estimates 17 million people around the world die each year from heart disease or stroke. Research shows these two conditions are among the most common health problems connected with obesity. Others include diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure.
A new American study says being even moderately (适度地) overweight increases the chances of developing heart failure. The study says the risk of heart failure is 100% higher among obese people, compared with those of normal weight.
The risk is 34% higher among overweight people.
Janet Voute heads the World Heart Federation. She says that obesity is not just a problem in rich countries. It has also become a problem in developing-nations. Miss Voute says people's lives become less healthy when they move from farming areas to cities. For example, as people earn more money, they stop walking or riding bicycles and instead buy a car. Also, people in cities eat fewer fruits and vegetables and more fatty foods and foods with no nutritional value. The World Heart Federation is also concerned that obesity in children is increasing. The World Health Organization estimates that about 22 million children under age five are overweight. In the United States, 10% of children are obese. In Beijing, China, 20% of school children are obese. 16% of schoolboys in Saudi Arabia are considered obese.
44. The passage is mainly about .
A. the number of overweight and obese people
B. obesity and heart disease
C. the chances of developing heart disease
D. diabetes and high blood pressure
45. Which of the following is NOT the most common health problem related to obesity according to the passage?
A. Heart disease. B. Diabetes. C. Toothache. D. High blood pressure.
46. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. People in cities eat more fruits and vegetables and less fatty food.
B. Obesity is just a problem in rich countries.
C. All overweight people have a higher risk of heart failure.
D. In America, one tenth of children are obese.
47. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. there's no other way to prevent obesity except physical exercise
B. the best way to stop obesity is to eat less and drink more
C. the only way to prevent obesity is to eat more healthy foods
D. city people suffer more from health problems than those living in the country
D
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those of the first kind are born idlers (游手好闲者), taking interest in nothing. It seems what they live for is to pass time idly. They simply don’t know why they have to do so, nor will they bother to ask. The other kind are those who take things seriously and never wish to idle away their life. But only a part of the second group are eager enough to make success. All the others fail to make enough effort to make their dreams come true.
Why things so happen to them? What are the reasons?
I later find out that some people are determined. They are “ igniters” that catch fire of their own, giving light and heart. But that’s not the case with others. They may be fuels but not igniters. As pieces of wood or coal, they need a match or a lighter to make them burn so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat.
The majority of people need some igniter to light them. Thus igniter becomes a must for those people to succeed. Unless a suitable igniter comes their way, they will always remain idle like cold unused firewood or coal.
Fortunately, such an igniter is not difficult to meet. One may find it in an instructive book, a film story, a few words of a close friend, some advice of a good teacher, a pleasant journey, or an unexpected love.
Any of these, coming at the right time, can serve as an igniter to start one’s enthusiasm for learning or for a better career, to turn him from a passive state of waiting to an active state of pursuing, to lend him strength to go ahead bravely. In that case, what he has prepared for years will be quickly turned into fruitful reality.
Such an igniter may turn up of itself, but most likely we have to find it ourselves. Never let a chance slide away, for it is the key to your success.
48. Who take things seriously but may not be able to succeed in this passage?
A. Idlers. B. Igniters. C. Fuels. D. Lighters.
49. What does the writer value most in order to succeed?
A. Storing a lot of energy. B. Great interest in everything.
C. An igniter coming at the right time. D. Wonderful dreams about a bright future.
50. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this article?
A. The writer describes two kinds of people.
B. The writer encourages people to find chances to succeed.
C. The writer praises those who work hard.
D. The writer tries to make fun of idlers.
51. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “pursuing” in the sixth paragraph?
A. Dreaming about success. B. Trying to achieve something.
C. Preparing for the worst. D. Hoping to be a leader.
E
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and, as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying.
Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The back section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract(萎缩)with age, and one can continue without intellectual or emotional faculties.
Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year olds.
Matsuzaws concluded from his tests that there is simple way to the contraction normally associated with age using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “ The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”
52. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________ .
A. why certain people age sooner than others
B. how to make people live longer
C. the size of certain people’s brains
D. which people are more intelligent
53. On what are their research findings based?
A. A survey of farmers in northern Japan.
B. Tests performed on a thousand old people.
C. The study of brain volumes of different people.
D. The latest development of computer technology.
54.The doctor’s tests show that________.
A. our brains shrink as we grow older
B. the front section of the brain does not shrink
C. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds
D. some people’s brains have contracted more than other people’s
55. What’s the most possible conclusion of the passage?
A. Most of us should take more exercise.
B. It’s better to live in the town.
C. The brain contracts if it is not used.
D. The more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes older.

Fast food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.
There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. Second, you can either eat it there or take it away. Third, the environment of fast food restaurants is both clean and comfortable. However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It is usually not a balanced diet and low in nutritional value.
Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while. It’s good for people, especially children, to eat fast food as little as possible.
