To many people, the cause is clear: We eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the American of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they are more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didnt watch television.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people dont eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations(调查), such as a 1970 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts.The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.Thus those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost greatest amount of body fat.51What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?A. They are too slim B. They work too hard C. They are too fatD. They lose too much body fat52According to the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have weight problemsA. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 15053Does scientific evidence support the saying that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?A. Yes, there is plenty of evidenceB. Of cause, there is some evidence to show this is trueC. No. there is hardly any scientific evidence to support this D. We dont know because the information is not given54Compared with the adult American population today, the adult Americans of 1910 _A. ate more food and had more physical activitiesB. ate less food but had more activitiesC. ate less food and had less physical exercises D. had more weight problemsB Many families in the United States have a larger income now than ever before, but people are finding it difficult to make ends meet anyway. Almost everyone is wondering, “What happens to all my money? I never seem to have anything left to put away.” Why isnt a dollar worth as much as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities of life such as food, housing or rent, clothes, and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it. No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing, but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so they demand more goods, If there is a great demand for certain goods, the price of these goods go up. At the same time, if theres a shortage of goods, the prices also go up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies with hold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up. Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people plan a family budget. A budget is a list of monthly expenses. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe youre spending too much on entertainment. Or if youre spending too much on clothes; you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.55. What has troubled many families in the United States? A. A not-large-enough income. B. Nothing is left over to put away. C. The increasing cost of living D. A shortage of certain goods.56. _ determines the value of the dollar A. The government B. The bank C. The economist D. The cost of living 57. While the cost of living increases, the value of the dollar_ A. increases too B. decreases. C. stay stable D. seldom decreases58. Budgeting helps_ A. one to make his income meet the cost of livingB. the government to battle the rising cost of livingC. merchants to produce more goodsD. the workers to earn more moneyC When Susan White went back to high school a couple of years ago, she never had any thought about actually getting a high school diploma(文凭).“I just wanted to learn more,” she said. But when she found out that many of her classmates were planning to graduate, Mrs. White recalled, “I said my young friends can graduate from high school, so can I.”She seems to have been right. As soon as she completes a history course, Mrs. White will graduate next month. And when she does, she will enter the record books as the oldest person ever to graduate from high school in the United States.Mrs. White is 98 years old; and nobody has completed high school at an older age.Mrs. White dropped out of school (退学) in the 10th grade, but her ability to learn has obviously not been dulled (减弱) by the 80 years layoff (终止活动). Since going back to her studies, she has kept up a straight record that is the highest possible.Now that she is about to get a diploma, Mrs. White has become a strong believer in getting a good education.“I dont like anyone dropping out of school,” she said. “It makes me mad when a person decides to leave school, because future generations will have to know even more than we do in order to survive.”59. Mrs. White dropped out of school when she was about _ A. 15 B.18 C. 20 D. 3360. How many other students older than Mrs. White have got a high school diploma? A. None B. One C. Two D. A few61.

Mrs. White is determined to graduate from high schoolB. Mrs. White has already been given a high school diplomaC. Mrs. White is the oldest person ever to graduate from high school in the US D. Mrs. White said that the young had to know moreDGirls Day or doll Festival takes place on March 3rd every year in Japan. Its origins go back to China, which had the custom of making a doll and then putting it in a river in order to get rid of bad luck. Girls Day in Japan is celebrated on the 3rd of March, and from mid to late February, families with daughters put out dolls in the hope that their daughters grow up healthy and happy. One superstition (迷信) related to this is that if they are late in putting away the dolls when the festival is over, their daughters will become old maids. Most displays have just a princess, but some more beautiful displays include the dolls, along with candy, rice boiled with red beans, white sake (清酒) , peach blossoms, diamond-shaped rice cakes, toys and tiny furniture, traditionally, parents or grandparents will begin their first display for their daughter or granddaughter, called hatsuzekku, when she is just one year old, and some families have passed their dolls down from generation to generation. When a girl gets married, she usually takes her dolls with her to her new home. Aside from displaying dolls, Japanese used to go to view the peach blossoms, drink sake with a blossom in it, and bathe in water with blossoms. The festival developed into the form we see today during the Edo Period(1603-1867), and it is still possible for people to buy Girls Day dolls made during that time as well as ones made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in antiques (古董) shops during the season.63. What is this passage mainly about?A. The development of Girls day in Japan. B. What Japanese usually do on Girls Day.C. A brief introduction to Girls Day in Japan. D. Why dolls are very important on Girls Day64. Parents put out dolls in the hope that_.A. their daughters will have a good marriageB. their daughters will grow up happily and healthilyC. the family will get rid of bad luckD. their daughters will not become old maids65. According to the superstition mentioned in the passage_.A. the dolls should be put out on time.B. parents should begin the first display when their daughter is one years oldC. the displays should only have dolls of a prince and princessD. all the dolls should be put away by the end of March 3rd66. What can we infer from the passage?A. The peach blossoms used to play an important role on Girls DayB. All the dolls that have been displayed must be passed downC. Japanese people first started to celebrate Girls Day in 1603D. All the girls should drink white sake on Girls DayE Time wasand not so many years ago, eitherwhen the average citizens took a pretty dim (模糊的) view of banks and banking. That was so, it should be said, was mainly the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to beand a few still areforbidding structures. Behind the little windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness showed the size of the customers account, and nothing less than a
