One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling. In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.46.

Eilzabeth Blackwell spent most of her lift in _. A. England B. Paris C. the United States D. New York City BHave you eaten too much over the holidays? You should try fidgeting for a while. Those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails (指甲) against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you dont want to) is an important way of burning up calories (卡路里). American researchers have found that some peoples squirming (continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals (等于) several miles of slow running each day. The scientists, based at the National Institute of Healths laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim. In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount (量) of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, (moving the front part of your foot up and down) finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories. The researchers found that slim（苗条的）women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people.51. Which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of “fidgeting”? A. scratching and twitching B. squirming and wigging C. slow running D. moving ones body nervously52. We can know from the passage that scientists believe the reason why some people get fat and other people stay slim is that _ . A. thin people burn up less calories than fat people B. fat people burn up more calories than thin people C. those who burn up more calories than others will be thinner D. those who fidget more than others will be thinner53. Scientists found in the experiment that _ . A. the energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thin people when they fidget B. some peoples fidgeting burned up more than 800 calories, but some peoples fidgeting burned up less than 100 calories C. slim women fidget more than fat women but fat men fidget more than thin men D. thin men fidget more than fat men54. If someone is thin in a pleasant way, we say they are _ . A. skinny B. bony C. slim D. underweight55. Scientists think a fidget habit to be _ . A. a way to lose fat B. a nervous habit annoying(使讨厌) the people around C. a better exercise than slow running D. a habit of thin peopleCResearchers found that compared with young people who spent much of their free time in front of TV sets, those who were physically active often had higher self-respect, better grades and were less likely to have risky behavior like taking drugs, smoking, or drinking. The findings, based on a national survey of nearly 12, 000 middle and high school students, were published in a journal（期刊）.“Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were better off than kids who watched a lot of TV,” said study co-author(合著者) professor Penny Gordon Larsen of the University of North Carolina.Other studies have linked certain content of television programs, such as violence and sex, to childrens behavior. But beyond this issue, Gordon Larsen said that kids who spend hours watching TV” miss opportunities” to develop skills, learn teamwork and have other experiences that their more active peers(同辈) benefit(受益) from That doesnt mean, however, that kids have to be on the football team. The study found that some activities like skating and skateboard(滑板)which adults sometimes frown uponwere also related to better self-respect and less risk-taking.That skaters were better behaved than TV-watchers might come as a surprise to some adults who consider these teens to be bad, according to Gordon Larsen. Skateboarding is forbidden in many public areas, and some communities(社区) disagree to build skating parks. But if kids who like to skate have nowhere to do it, “ its a shame,” said Gordon Larsen.Not only should parents encourage their kids to engage（参与） in the physical activities they enjoy, she said, but schools and communities should also do more to create opportunities for children to be active.56. From the passage we know that_? A. physically active kids get into less trouble B. more skating parks are being built. C. kids who spend hours watching TV benefit a lot D. kids who have nowhere to skate tend to take drugs.57. If your kid is a football player, he is more likely to _ A. get into the habit of smoking or drinking. B. develop teamwork spirit. C. have risky behaviors. D. fail in the schoolwork. 58. This passage is mainly written to _ . A. offer some information to teachers and parents. B. persuade kids not to watch a lot of TV. C. urge the public to help children be active. D. show the authors concern about childrens growth.59. What the underlined sentence “ which adults sometimes frown upon?” in the 4th paragraph mean? A. Some adults dont understand the sports.B. Some adults are impatient with kids. C. Adults consider it dangerous to go skating or skateboardingD. Some adults think them related to bad behaviors.60. It can be inferred from the passage that _? A. kids are not expected to be active by some parents. B. professor Penny is a famous writer and journalist. C. Skateboarding is popular in schools and communities.D. kids are not encouraged to join the football team. 第二节： 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）请看下面6个人的要求：61.
