lessons第三节：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)ait was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before christmas 2005. while most people were warming up their cars，trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. on arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. after putting in 10 hours of labor，he returned to find his bike gone.the bike, a black kona 18 speed, was our only transport. trevor used it to get to work， putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. and the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.i was so sad that someone would steal our bike that i wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. one wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. it really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.people say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. this experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. and it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. no matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. and the results can be everlasting.41. why was the bike so important to the couple?a. they used it for work and daily life.b. it was their only possession (财产).c. it was a nice kona 18 speed.d. the mans job was bike racing.42. we can infer from the passage that _.a. the couple worked 60 hours a weekb. people were busy before christmasc. the stranger brought over the biked. life was hard for the young family43. how did people get to know the couples problem?a. from a stranger.b. from a newspaper.c. from tv newsd. from radio broadcasts.44. what do the couple learn from their experience?a. strangers are usually of little help.b. one should take care of their bike.c. news reports make people famous.d. an act of kindness can mean a lot.45. from this story, we can see humanity is _.a. selfishb. commercialc. kindd. cold-heartedbwhy 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 between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, david goldspink of liverpool john 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 and 80, 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,” said goldspink.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.46. the underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “_”.a. health b. long life c. ageing d. effect47. the text mainly talks about _.a. mens heart cells b. womens ageing process、c. the gender difference d. hearts and long life48. 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 age49. if you want to live longer, you should _.a. enable your heart to beat much faster b. find out the reason for ageingc. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy d. prevent your cells from being lost50. we can know from the passage that _.a. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outb. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsc. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossd. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20cmaybe ten-year-old elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, but, dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead.dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt- a mistake 75% of us population make every day. the big question is why.there have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. the following are three of the most common.myth the number one: its best to be thrown clear of a serious accident.truth: sorry, but any accident serious enough to throw you clear is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. and chances are youll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are thrown clear.myth number two: safety-bets trap people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.truth: sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. people wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. people wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.myth number three: safety belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres. 51. why did elizabeth say to her father, but, dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead?a. he was driving at great speed.b. he was running across the street.c. he didnt have his safety belt on.d. he didnt take his medicine on time.52. the reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he _.a. wasnt feeling very well b. hated to drive in the darkc. wanted to take some exercise d. didnt want to be caught by the people53. according to the text, to be thrown clear of a serious accident is very dangerous because you _.a. may be knocked down by other cars.b. may get serious hurt thrown out of the carc. may find it impossible to get away from the seatd. may get caught in the car door54. some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _.a. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentb. they will be unable
