six world records. some people think that this was the greatest athletics achievement ever. in 1936 jesse went to the olympic games in berlin, germany. there were only nineteen black athletes in the usa team. he won gold medals in the 100 meters race, the 200 meters race, the long jump and the relay race. jesse was not a professional athlete. this meant that he could not get money for running.

recently the term health has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. it no longer means just the absence of illness. today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. this new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a persons life? one reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. you could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. in contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.29、_ leads to peoples deeper understanding of health.a：common knowledge b：better conditions of livingc：progress in scientific research d：quality of life30、according to the passage, to people of today, health means _.a：absence of illness b：overall satisfaction with lifec：good conditions of living d：a long life31、the emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because _.a：people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longerb：people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental healthc：people have realized the importance of mental well-beingd：people are inspired by medical advances32、this passage is mainly about _.a：different understandings of the term healthb：improving the quality of lifec：the importance of quality livingd：peoples expectations of a long and healthy lifedbackground music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the usa. very soon it spread to other parts of the world. now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.to begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing (舒适的) atmosphere. recently, however, its becoming a big business. an american marketing expert has shown that music can boost(提升) sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.but it has to be the light music. lively music has no effect at all on sales. slow music can increase receipts(收入) by 34%. this is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. yet, slow music isnt always the answer. the expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. so restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving-unless, of course, the resulting indigestion(消化不良) leads to complaints.33、background music was first used _.a：in the cinemas and theatres in the usab：in the offices and hospitals in the usac：in the schools and churches in the usad：in the factories, shops and restaurants in the usa34、an american marketing expert has found background music can _.a：increase sales or factory productionb：create a soothing atmospherec：make people slow downd：make people forget their worries35、restaurant owners are advised to play _ to increase overall sales.a：lively music b：loud musicc：faster music d：slower music第二节：（共5小题，每题2分，共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项。36home can be a great place for children to study. its important to provide a workspace of their

day-to-day uses of those areas. set up a place where a child can settle in and leave papers and pens at hand without having to clear everything away each night. for a child that likes being alone, set
