The latest research shows that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline (衰弱)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 ages 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 toll (造成损失)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.56. The underlined word “longevity”(in paragraph 2) probably refers to_.A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect57. The passage mainly talks about_.A. mens heart cells B. womens ageing processC. the gender difference D. hearts and long life58. According to the passage, 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 .the female heart never loses the pumping power with age59. 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 D. prevent your cells from being lost60. We can know from the passage that _.A. the reason why ageing causes a greater loss to the male heart has been found outB. scientists are still doing research into why the male heart loses more of the cellsC .the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss of the cellsD. women over 70 could lose more cells than those at the age of 20.BLong long ago, a God called Ratu lived in the sky. Ratu liked to play games and make people angry. The game he liked best was to fly down into the sea and frighten all the fishes. The fishes became very tired of his game. They asked Hemi, the God of the sea, to help them.So Hemi tried to catch Ratu the next time he flew into the sea, but he was too slow. Ratu laughed at Hemi as he flew past him. This made Hemi angry and he had an idea. He asked the fishes to bring him a lot of seaweed. Hemi tied it all together and made a large net from it. Soon Ratu flew down and Hemi threw the net over him. Ratu fought and fought but could not get free. He was caught.Ratu promised never to frighten fishes again if Hemi would set him free. But Hemi did not believe him. Instead, he changed Ratu into a mountain in the sea. Ratu was so angry that when he opened his mouth to shout at Hemi, fire and smoke broke out. And that is why the Island of Ratu is a volcano.61. This story is a _.A. joke B. humor C. true story D. fairy tale62. The key meaning of this story is _.A. how volcanoes are born B. how Ratu was beatenC. why some gods are good and some are badD. why the Island of Ratu is a volcano63. Ratu liked to fly down into the sea because _.A. he liked to make fun of the fishes B. the fishes welcomed himC. the fishes were friendly to him D. he had too much fire in his mouth.64. Why did Hemi not believe Ratus promise?A. Because Ratu was a funny god. B. Because Hemi was an honest god.C. Because Hemi was not believable. D. Because Ratu was unbelievable.65. The main point of the story seems to be that _.A. the person who makes trouble will be punishedB. some volcanoes in the sea are godsC. seaweed is a good material for making netsD. one who makes promises is not to be always believedCDo you want to know something about the history of weather? Dont look at the sky. Dont look for old weather reports. Looking at tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back.It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight and rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are closed together, then the climate was bad for the tree.Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In a region of New Mexico you can find only sand-no trees and no people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why?A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move. In this instance studying tree rings uncovers an exciting fact about the history of man.66. It is understood that in a favorable climate _.A. tree rings grow together B. tree rings grow far apartC. trees in New Mexico will grow big and tallD. people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico67. The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell _.A. whether in that area the climate was favorable or notB. whether a particular tree was healthy or notC. whether people took good care of the trees or notD. how old the trees were68. By studying the dead tree rings, the scientist discovered _.A. where the people had left B. what the people used to eatC. how the people left D. why the people had to leave69. The people had to leave the region of New Mexico because _.A. they had cut down all the trees B. there were many trees thereC. they had no water D. bad weather stopped the growth of trees70. The main idea of the passage is _.A. tree rings reflect the history of weather and the history of manB. destroying tree will do man no goodC. studying tree ring is the only way to know the history of weatherD. man shouldnt cut so many trees第II卷（三部分，共45分）第五部分 A)任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空1个单词。Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.“Mobile data is not a dream; its not an option but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterdays news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.Face-to-face video callsDont worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.International telecom companies cant wait to sell 3G in China, the worlds largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is involved in testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late next year.”Third-generation mobile phones (3G mobile phones)71 _a.
