a certain number of courses in order to graduate and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty six courses each lasting for one semester A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks while attending a 3 university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course though this is not in fact done as a regular practice For every course that he follows a student is given a grade which is recorded and the record is available for the student to show to future employers All this imposes a constant pressure and stress of work but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities Any student who is thought to have broken the rules for example by cheating has to appear before a student court With the enormous numbers of students the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and will be of benefit to him later in his career 59

59 9 6 63 3 B BB BA AC CB B 结束 Car crashes are the top killer of American teenagers Most of the crashes result from distracted driving not paying attention to the road Ryan Didone was a fifteen year old passenger in a car that hit a tree He was one of the nation s more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008 Nearly four thousand deaths about twelve percent involved drivers age fifteen to twenty Ryan s father Thomas Didone is a police captain in Maryland It was an inexperienced immature driver driving at night with a carload of kids He was distracted he was going too fast and it ended up causing one death and some seriously injured He shares the story of his son s death to help educate teens and their families about distracted driving Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of distracted driving accidents is the mobile phone He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving If you re 5 texting while driving you are twenty three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn t Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem For example the insurance industry recently held a safety event for teen drivers At first nineteen year old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road Then as part of the test he started texting He hit several cones and at least one doll That s what really opened up the experience for me to prove how bad it is to really text and drive Debbie Pickford of Allstate Insurance says teens are especially at risk from distracted driving and not just because they lack experience on the roads According to the research teens don t really have fully developed brains until they re twenty five years old You put those two things together and you get a much much higher risk A new law proposes a graduated driver licensing system Graduated means teenagers start with restrictions like on night driving and numbers of passengers They could not get a full driver s license until age eighteen 45 Of all the following which is the best title for the passage A Car Crashes the Top Killer B Drunken Driving C Distracted Driving D How to Avoid Car Crashes 46

people cannot drive until brains are fully developed 6 48 According to the new law A it will be harder for young people to get a full driver s license B people will not be allowed to touch the wheel until they are 18 C young people are forbidden to take any passengers in their cars D people can t drive until they graduate from colleges or universities 参考答案 45 C 46 50 DCA 结束 A In one of the strongest indications of the power of the mind to influence the body a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease In a study of almost 3 000 men and 5 000 women depressed men were 70 percent more likely to develop coronary 心脏的 heart disease than those who weren t depressed While depressed women were just 12 percent more likely to develop heart disease those who were severely depressed were 78 percent more likely In fact a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have high blood pressure The link works the other way around too While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack The more severe the depression the more dangerous it is to your health But some studies suggest that even mild depression including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years may damage the heart Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work Researchers aren t sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is but theories exist One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves They re more likely to eat high fat high calorie comfort foods less likely to exercise and more likely to smoke But beyond lifestyle there is probably also a physiological link between 7 depression and heart disease Recent studies found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of heart healthy 0 3 fatty acids People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones 荷尔蒙 These keep the body primed for fight or flight raising blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries 动 脉 and prevent the body s natural healing mechanisms from working properly A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health the nervous system the hormone system and so on This science is gradually sorting out how the mind body connection affects us or defenses against heart disease Generally an estimated 10 percent of American adults experience some form of depression every year Although available treatments can ease symptoms 症状 in more than 80 percent of people treated less than half of those with depression get the help they need 5 Which of the following can be the best title of the passage A Depression Heart Disease Risk Factor B Heart Disease Health Killer C Depression Mental Health Enemy D Heart Disease Depression Factor 6 Which statement is NOT true according to the passage A With high blood pressure depression is another potential risk to women s health B Depression which is mild can possibly cause damage to your health C Most people who experience depression get treated as they should be D Depression may have some influence on the function of heart disease medication 7 According to the passage the possible connections between heart disease and depression are the following EXCEPT A depressed ones tend to eat high fat and high calories foods which leads to physical damage to heart B severe heart disease may cause people to feel hopeless and depressed C depression may result in the lack of some kind of acids which probably affects the working of people s heart D people with depression often have a high level of stress hormones maybe 8 which will put extra pressure on one s heart 8 We can infer from the passage that A more researches will be done to find the certain links between heart disease and depression B the percentage of adults with depression is higher than that of depressed adults with heart disease C one s lifestyle has relatively little relationship with one s mental health D those with depression have a higher risk of developing heart disease 答案 5 A 本文主题为心脏病与抑郁症的关系 特别是抑郁症对心脏的影响 本文第一句便 是提示 6 C 本文最后一句 Although available treatments can ease symptoms 症状 in more than 80 percent of people treated less than half of those with depression get the help they need 说明不是所有的抑郁症患者都得到了所需的医治 7 B 由第五段第三句内容知 A 项正确 由第五段第五 六 七三句内容可知 严重的 抑郁还会导致体内某种脂肪酸的缺乏和压力荷尔蒙过高 这些都会加重心脏的负担 故 C D 项正确 只有 B 项文中未提及 8 A 本文第五段第一句 Researchers aren t sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is 说明此问题尚未有定论 因此可推测 A 项正确 结束 To all of you at Chinese love links I am 44 years old and never married I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with I have always tried to be a nice guy I had found your website some four or five months before I did not know what to expect I don t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman 9 Well I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to But one stood out from the rest She was cute nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do In a short time I had decided to write only to her We communicated via e mail 2 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week I went and met her and her family only a week ago Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to We had even decided to marry and I want to bring her to the USA under the fiancee visa Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like at least the ones I have met We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them So to anyone out there reading this I can only say this You may not find what you are looking for if you re not honest with your partner and yourself This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else When I did find her love can work even across the other side of the world betwe
