have a chance to go to finland, you will probably be surprised to find how“foolish” the finnish people are.take the taxi drivers for example. taxis in finland are mostly high-class benz with a fare of two us dollars a kilometer. you can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.the dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. the most they would do to show their good faith isto wave their registration card to the waiter. with such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.the finnish workers are paid by the hour. they are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. from then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.with so many loopholes（漏洞） in everyday life, surely finland must be a heavento those who love to take “petty advantages”. but the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. and workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.21. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. while taking a taxi in finland, you can get off without first paying your fare. b. in a big hotel in finland, you can enjoy free meals if youre living in the hotel. c. the bosses in finland pay the employees according to registration of theirworking hours.d. the workers are always honest with their working hours.22. we can learn from the passage that .a. the finnish society is of very high moral levelb. there are many loopholes in everyday life in finlandc. in finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingd. everyone in finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves23. which of the following is the best title of the passage?a. life in finlandb. a society with “foolish” peoplec. what a lifed. honest accounts of the finnsbwhy do men die earlier than women? the latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.the largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.we have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between18 and 70 years of age,”said the head of the study, david goldspink of liverpooljohn moores university in the uk.within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,”said goldspink. this is part of the ageing process.what surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. a healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.this gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,”said goldspink.they studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.the team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, saidgoldspink.the good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.24. the underlined word “longevity in the second paragraph probably refers to .a. healthb. long lifec. ageingd. effect25. the text mainly talks about .a. mens heart cellsb. womens ageing processc. the gender differenced. hearts and long life26. according to the text, the uk scientists have known that .a. women have more cells than men when they are bornb. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatc. the female heart loses few of the cells with aged. women never lose their pumping power with agecyears ago, i was taking a maths class over the summer, and had a teacher who liked to talk about his past with funny stories. he related that he had been a math teacher in the air force, where it was his duty to force sleepy young soldiers to stay awake for an hour of math at 8:00 in the morning in a large, warm, dimly-litauditorium （ 礼 堂 ） . one day, he came into the lecture hall and saw his class evensleepier and less attentive than usual. he realized that something exciting would have to be done.now this classroom was very old, and the blackboards, which had been nailed on to the walls with old black iron nails, had become loose over the years. as a result, these black nails stuck out almost invisibly from the blackboard and this teacher kept banging his hands on them while erasing the board. he decided to put them to good use.with enough of a flourish (夸张的动作) to ensure the classs attention, he went tothe front of the room, near one edge of the board. then, clearing his throat, he drew a coat hook right near one of the protruding ( 突出 ) nails. he went to hang his coat andhat on the hook that he had drawn in chalk (really on the nail, of course). then he went on to give that days lecture. he told us that the entire class had their eyes to the front of the room throughout the lecture. he didnt know if theyd heard a single word hed said, but at least they looked attentive.at the end of the class, the lecturer would usually leave by a small door near the blackboards, while the class would leave through the large doors at the back of the hall. when class was over, he took his coat and hat, erased the coat hook, and left through the small doorand was followed by the entire class, lining up to go past the blackboard to see how hed done it!27. when the funny story happened, the author was .a. a soldier who just joined the air forceb. having a math class in his summer vacationc. teaching a maths class over the summerd. doing something that the passage doesnt mention28. what can we infer from the passage?a. young soldiers always felt sleepy in maths classes.b. the auditorium where maths was taught was well-equipped.c. that day the students would leave by the small door near the blackboards. d. the young soldiers would be attentive in maths classes from then on.29. what most attracted the entire classs attention?a. the teachers lecture.b. the hook drawn in chalk. c. the teachers coat.d. the black nail.30. which of the following characters did the teacher not have?a. strict.b. humorous.c. responsible.d. smart.第二节：（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。are you happy? there are so many factors to consider when answering that question but today were going to
