American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory ; athletic games, played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players in each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse-racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do "not assemble" primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.
16. Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old, in the US
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned

Eat More, Weigh Less, Live Longer
Clever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals.
Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston, US, and his colleagues have been able to extend the lifespan (寿命,) of mice by 18 per cent by blocking the rodent's (啮齿动物) increase of fat in specific cells. This suggests that thinness -- and hot necessarily diet--promotes long life in " calorie (热量卡) restricted" animals.
"It's very cool work. " says aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California, San Francisco. "These mice eat all they want, lose weight and live longer. It's like heaven. "
Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents. Whether this works in humans is still unknown, partly because few people are willing to submit to such a strict diet.
But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life.One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells. But Kahn's team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin.
To find out, they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin (胰岛素) receptor (受体) gene in lab mice--but only in their fat cells. "Since insulin is needed to help fat cells store fat, these animals were protected against becoming fat," explains Kahn.
This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects. By three months of age, Kahn，those modified mice had up to 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice，despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight.In addition.Their lifespan increased.The average control mouse rived 753 days，while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days.After three years，all the control mice had died，but one—quarter of the modified rodents were still alive.
“That they get these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial，”says Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，who studies calorie restriction and aging.But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible for increased lifespan in calorie.restricted animals.“It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life，”he points out，“and that would be very interesting.”
31.Ronald Kahn and his colleagues can make mice live longer by_________.
A.offering them less food
B.giving them a balanced diet
C.disrupting the specific genes in their fat cells
D.preventing them growing larger
32.According to the passage.we do not know whether humans will benefit from taking
in fewer calories partly because_________.
A.humans，worms and rodents are different
B.most people are not willing to be put on a strict diet
C.the effect is not known
D.genetic changes in tissues can not be performed on humans
33.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A.People like to lose weight，but they do not like to eat less.
B.People want to go to heaven.but they do not want to die.
C.Mice will go to heaven if they lose weight.
D.Mice enjoy losing weight.
34.The average modified mouse lived_________.
A.3 years
B.753 days
C.More than 3 years
D.887 days
35.What can be inferred from the passage about the route to long life?
A.It remains to be studied.
B.It has already been discovered.
C.Eating more leads to long life.
D.Eating less leads to long life.
Valuing Childhood
The value of childhood is easily blurred(变得模糊不清)in today’S world.Consider some recent developments.The child，murderers in the Jonesboro schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced.Two boys，7 and 8，were charged in the murder of an 11一year-old girl in Chicago.
Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will.Yet，as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed，the one boy who was able to address the court couldn’t begin to explain his acts.though he tried to apologize.There may have been a motive—youthful jealousy(妒忌)and resentment.But a deeper question remains：Why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner，moral restraint?
That question echoes for the accused in Chicago，young as they are.They wanted the girl’s bicycle，a selfish impulse common enough among kids.
Redemption(拯救)is a practical necessity.How can value be restored to young fives distorted by acts of violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time.Despite horror at what was done，children are not—cannot be—dealt with as adults，not if a people wants to consider itself civilized.That’s why politicians’cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point.
But the moral void(真空)that invites violence has many sources.Family instability contributes，so does economic stress.That void，however，can be filled.The work starts with parents，who have to ask themselves whether they’re doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong.Are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought?
Schools，t00，have a role in building character.So do youth organizations.So do youth enforcement agencies，which can do more to inform the young about laws，their meaning，and their observance(遵守).
The goal，ultimately，is to allow all children a normal passage from childhood to adulthood(成年)，so that tragic gaps in moral judgement are less likely to occur.The relative few who fill such gaps with acts of violence hint at many others who don’t go that far，but who lack the moral foundations childhood should provide--and which progressive human society relies on.
36.The two boys in Chicago were__________.
A.shot
B.murdered
C.accused
D.sentenced
37.The boys in Jonesboro and Chicago apparently lacked a sense of__________.
A.right and wrong
B.discipline
C.shame
D.safety
38.According to politicians，when children commit crimes，they should be treated in the same way as__________.
A.murderers
B.criminals
C.victims
D.adults
39.Which of the following does the writer cite as a source of moral void?
A.Official corruption.
B.Social injustice.
C.Family stability.
D.Racial discrimination.
40.Which of the statements is NOT true according to this passage?
A.Parents should strengthen moral instruction.
B.Schools should help create a moral sense in children.
C.Law enforcement agencies should do more to help children understand laws.
D.Youth organizations play no role in building character.
The Body Thieves
In the early nineteenth century in Britain，many improvements were being made in the world of medicine.Doctors and Surgeons were becoming more knowledgeable about the human body.Illnesses that had been fatal a few years before were now curable.However，Surgeons had one problem.They needed dead bodies to cut up，or dissect(解剖).This was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body， and the only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.
The job of finding these dead bodies was carded out by an unpleasant group of people called“body snatchers”.They went into graveyards(墓地)at night and，using wooden shovels to make less noise。dug up any recently buried bodies.Then they took the bodies to the medical schools and sold them.A body could be sold for between￡5 and l0，which was a lot of money at that time.The doctors who paid the body snatchers had all agreement with them—they never asked any questions.They did not desire to know where the bodies came from，as long as they kept arriving.
The most famous of these body snatchers were two men from Edinburgh called William Burke and William Hare. Burke and Hare were different because they did not just dig Up bodies from graveyards.They got greedy and thought of all easier way to find bodies. Instead of digging them up.they killed the poorer guests in Hare’s small hotel. Dr.Knox，the respected surgeon they worked for.never asked why all the bodies they brought him had been strangled(勒死).
For many years Burke and Hare were not caught because，unsurprisingly，the bodies of their victims were never found by the police.They were eventually arrested and put on trial in 1829.The judge showed mercy to Hare and he was released but Burke Was found guilty and his punishment was to be hanged.Appropriately，his body Was given to the medical school and he ended up on the dissecting table，just like his victims.In one small way，Justice was done.
Now, over 150 years later，surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their skills.However.the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather gruesome(令人毛骨悚然的)help.
41 The problem facing British surgeons in the early 19th century was that______•
A.some illnesses remained incurable
B.few people were willing to work as surgeons
C.medical expenses were too high
D.dead bodies were not easily available
42. The body snatchers used wooden shovels because ______
A.they did not wish to spoil the dead bodies
B.they wanted to keep the bodies to themselves
C.they were afraid of being caught
D.they were careful not to disturb anyone
43. Burk and Hare differed from other body snatchers in that______
A.they got other people to dig up bodies for them
B.they sold the bodies only to one surgeon
C.they dug up bodies not just from graveyards
D.they resorted to murder to get bodies
44. The bodies of Burke's and Hare's victims couldn't be found by the police because______
A.they had been stolen
B.they had been strangled
C.they had been dissected
D.they had been buried
45. The body thieves contributed in their gruesome way to______
A.medical advancement
B.legal progress
C.social stability
D.material wealth

The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke
Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases. In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancer However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage. (46) .
No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people's cigarettes. (47) The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker's health. (48) They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic (有毒的) chemicals in their bodies. As a matter of fact, almost all of US breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not. For example, we cannot avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants, hotels and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted.It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. (49) Research shows that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as are children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke. People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke. ( 50 )
A.Recently, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers.
B.The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.
C.This smoke is called secondhand smoke.
D.However, secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people, old or young.
E.As a result, they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places.
F.In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.

Its Immense strength is (52) into the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whale's body is one gigantic muscle.The blue whale's pulling strength has been estimated (53) 400 horsepower.

More recently, steel ships have (57) their plates buckled (使弯曲) in the same way. Sperm whales (抹香鲸) were known to seize the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crash them.
The greatest (58) of whales is their diving ability.The sperm whale dives to the Bottom for his (59) food，the octopus(章鱼).In that search he is known to go as far Down as 3200 feet，where the.

The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory ; athletic games, played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing.

Eat More, Weigh Less, Live Longer
Clever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals.
Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston, US, and his colleagues have been able to extend the lifespan (寿命,) of mice by 18 per cent by blocking the rodent's (啮齿动物) increase of fat in specific cells. This suggests that thinness -- and hot necessarily diet--promotes long life in " calorie (热量卡) restricted" animals.
"It's very cool work. " says aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California, San Francisco. "These mice eat all they want, lose weight and live longer. It's like heaven. "
Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents. Whether this works in humans is still unknown, partly because few people are willing to submit to such a strict diet.
But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life.One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells. But Kahn's team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin.
To find out, they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin (胰岛素) receptor (受体) gene in lab mice--but only in their fat cells. "Since insulin is needed to help fat cells store fat, these animals were protected against becoming fat," explains Kahn.
This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects. By three months of age, Kahn，those modified mice had up to 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice，despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight.In addition.Their lifespan increased.The average control mouse rived 753 days，while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days.After three years，all the control mice had died，but one—quarter of the modified rodents were still alive.
“That they get these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial，”says Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，who studies calorie restriction and aging.But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible for increased lifespan in calorie.restricted animals.“It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life，”he points out，“and that would be very interesting.”
31.Ronald Kahn and his colleagues can make mice live longer by_________.
A.offering them less food
B.giving them a balanced diet
C.disrupting the specific genes in their fat cells
D.preventing them growing larger
32.According to the passage.we do not know whether humans will benefit from taking
in fewer calories partly because_________.
A.humans，worms and rodents are different
B.most people are not willing to be put on a strict diet
C.the effect is not known
D.genetic changes in tissues can not be performed on humans
33.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A.People like to lose weight，but they do not like to eat less.
B.People want to go to heaven.but they do not want to die.
C.Mice will go to heaven if they lose weight.
D.Mice enjoy losing weight.
34.The average modified mouse lived_________.
A.3 years
B.753 days
C.More than 3 years
D.887 days
35.What can be inferred from the passage about the route to long life?

Valuing Childhood
The value of childhood is easily blurred(变得模糊不清)in today’S world.Consider
some recent developments.The child，murderers in the Jonesboro schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced.Two boys，7 and 8，were charged in the murder of an 11一year-old girl in Chicago.
Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will.Yet，as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed，the one boy who was able to address the court couldn’t begin to explain his acts.though he tried to apologize.There may have been a motive—youthful jealousy(妒忌)and resentment.But a deeper question remains：Why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner，moral restraint?
That question echoes for the accused in Chicago，young as they are.They wanted the girl’s bicycle，a selfish impulse common enough among kids.
Redemption(拯救)is a practical necessity.How can value be restored to young fives distorted by acts of violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time.Despite horror at what was done，children are not—cannot be—dealt with as adults，not if a people wants to consider itself civilized.That’s why politicians’cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point.
But the moral void(真空)that invites violence has many sources.Family instability contributes，so does economic stress.That void，however，can be filled.The work starts with parents，who have to ask themselves whether they’re doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong.Are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought?
Schools，t00，have a role in building character.So do youth organizations.So do youth enforcement agencies，which can do more to inform the young about laws，their meaning，and their observance(遵守).
The goal，ultimately，is to allow all children a normal passage from childhood to adulthood(成年)，so that tragic gaps in moral judgement are less likely to occur.The relative few who fill such gaps with acts of violence hint at many others who don’t go that far，but who lack the moral foundations childhood should provide--and which progressive human society relies on.
36.The two boys in Chicago were__________.
A.shot
B.murdered
C.accused
D.sentenced
37.The boys in Jonesboro and Chicago apparently lacked a sense of__________.
A.right and wrong
B.discipline
C.shame
D.safety
38.According to politicians，when children commit crimes，they should be treated in the same way as__________.
A.murderers
B.criminals
C.victims
D.adults
39.Which of the following does the writer cite as a source of moral void?
A.Official corruption.
B.Social injustice.
C.Family stability.
D.Racial discrimination.
40.Which of the statements is NOT true according to this passage?
A.Parents should strengthen moral instruction.
B.Schools should help create a moral sense in children.
C.Law enforcement agencies should do more to help children understand laws.
D.Youth organizations play no role in building character.
The Body Thieves
In the early nineteenth century in Britain，many improvements were being made in the world of medicine.Doctors and Surgeons were becoming more knowledgeable about the human body.Illnesses that had been fatal a few years before were now curable.However，Surgeons had one problem.They needed dead bodies to cut up，or dissect(解剖).This was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body， and the only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.
The job of finding these dead bodies was carded out by an unpleasant group of people called“body snatchers”.They went into graveyards(墓地)at night and，using wooden shovels to make less noise。dug up any recently buried bodies.Then they took the bodies to the medical schools and sold them.A body could be sold for between￡5 and l0，which was a lot of money at that time.The doctors who paid the body snatchers had all agreement with them—they never asked any questions.They did not desire to know where the bodies came from，as long as they kept arriving.
The most famous of these body snatchers were two men from Edinburgh called William Burke and William Hare. Burke and Hare were different because they did not just dig Up bodies from graveyards.They got greedy and thought of all easier way to find bodies. Instead of digging them up.they killed the poorer guests in Hare’s small hotel. Dr.Knox，the respected surgeon they worked for.never asked why all the bodies they brought him had been strangled(勒死).
For many years Burke and Hare were not caught because，unsurprisingly，the bodies of their victims were never found by the police.They were eventually arrested and put on trial in 1829.The judge showed mercy to Hare and he was released but Burke Was found guilty and his punishment was to be hanged.Appropriately，his body Was given to the medical school and he ended up on the dissecting table，just like his victims.In one small way，Justice was done.
Now, over 150 years later，surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their skills.However.the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather gruesome(令人毛骨悚然的)help.
41 The problem facing British surgeons in the early 19th century was that______•
A.some illnesses remained incurable
B.few people were willing to work as surgeons
C.medical expenses were too high
D.dead bodies were not easily available
42. The body snatchers used wooden shovels because ______
A.they did not wish to spoil the dead bodies
B.they wanted to keep the bodies to themselves
C.they were afraid of being caught
D.they were careful not to disturb anyone
43. Burk and Hare differed from other body snatchers in that______
A.they got other people to dig up bodies for them
B.they sold the bodies only to one surgeon
C.they dug up bodies not just from graveyards
D.they resorted to murder to get bodies
44. The bodies of Burke's and Hare's victims couldn't be found by the police because______
A.they had been stolen
B.they had been strangled
C.they had been dissected
D.they had been buried
45. The body thieves contributed in their gruesome way to______

The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke
Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases. In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancer However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage. (46) .
No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people's cigarettes. (47) The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker's health. (48) They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic (有毒的) chemicals in their bodies. As a matter of fact, almost all of US breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not. For example, we cannot avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants, hotels and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted.It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. (49) Research shows that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as are children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke. People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke. ( 50 )
A.Recently, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers.
B.The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.
C.This smoke is called secondhand smoke.
D.However, secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people, old or young.
E.As a result, they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places.
F.In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.

More recently, steel ships have (57) their plates buckled (使弯曲) in the same way. Sperm whales (抹香鲸) were known to seize the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crash them.
The greatest (58) of whales is their diving ability.The sperm whale dives to the Bottom for his (59) food，the octopus(章鱼).In that search he is known to go as far Down as 3200 feet，where the.
