The runners were observed on a treadm

11、ill machine (跑步机). Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot.Researchers from the JKM Technologies Company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and an

12、kle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.The study appeared in the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine.The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared r

13、unners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the thir

14、d group had changed to shoeless running.Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their he

15、el.Harvards Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first. Also, the heel generally has

16、thick material under it to soften landings.But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured.The study was partly supported by Vibram, which

17、makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard Website.1、What can we learn from th

18、e passage?AThe way that we run by landing on the front or middle of our foot could avoid damaging our heel.BWe should start running barefoot in no time.CRunning in modem running shoes could have more serious effects than running in high heels.DWe wont be injured if we run barefoot.2、How many organiz

19、ations are involved in the two studies?AThree. BFour.CFive. DSix.3、How did the researchers do the two studies?ABy practising. BBy comparing.CBy questioning. DBy reasoning.4、What is the main idea of the passage?AWalking in high heels could have fewer serious effects than running barefoot.BTwo new dis

20、coveries encourage people to run in high heels.CRunning in shoes is partly good to runners.DTwo new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases.22（8分） Madame Marie Curie famously won two Nobel Prizes, but many other women have also been awarded the prize, too.

27、ee to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.“Lets go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the tra

28、ck. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve d

29、own a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didnt come back. Steve couldnt blame Brady for panickin

30、g. He himself wanted to run even though he didnt have a clue which way.Steve and Zach hadnt gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope theyd just climbed. But Steve didnt get it. Th

31、en Brady grabbed the boys jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncles life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urg

32、ently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldnt have it. The dog bullied

35、ercent less than men doing the same jobs. Those are the jobs with the biggest wage differences between men and women, according to a new study.Overall, the study found that women earn 5. 4 percent less than men for doing the same job, in the same location and for the same employer. The wage differen

36、ces between women and men were similar in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and France.5.4 percent is a big difference in pay between men and women because it cannot be explained by women and men taking the same kinds of jobs. It can only be explained by bias(倔见)against women, or other causes,

37、such as women not being good at asking for pay.Research suggests that women do not negotiate(交涉)as well as men when it comes to pay.And women are generally more uncomfortable asking fellow employees how much they make, sothey can see if they are being paid fairly.According to the study, women earned

38、 at least 15 percent less than men in these job categories:psychologists,pharmacists,physicians,opticians,pilots and game artists.But in the fields of social work, selling merchandise, research assistants and physician advisors, women earn more than men. In social work, women earned 7. 8 percent mor

39、e than men, the report said. That was the job category with the biggest advantage for women. It was still far less than the 28 percent pay advantage for men in some fields.Comparing salaries for full-time workers, women earn only 79 percent as much as men. Over a lifetime, that much of a difference

40、in pay can amount to a large amount of money.Women only earned 57 percent as much as men in 1975. It is now up t0 79 percent. That isprogress, the report says, but not enough.1、Which of the following has the biggest pay differences between women and men?AA pilot. BA game artist.CA research assistant

41、. DA computer programmer.2、Why do women earn less than men when doing the same job?AThey dont try their best to fight for better pay.BThey care less about their pay than men.CBosses usually looks down upon women.DThey don-t work as effectively as men.3、How much income do full-time women workers lose

42、 compared with men?A5.4%. B7.8%.C21%. D28%.4、What does the report think of the womens pay?AIt is growing rather quickly. BIt is rising but not satisfying.CIt is not fair for women workers. DIt is reasonable for present situation.25（10分） Have you ever pressed the pedestrian button at a crosswalk and

43、wondered if it really worked? Theyre called “placebo(安慰剂）buttons”一buttons that mechanically sound and can be pushed，but provide no functionality.In New York City, only about 2 of the 1, 000 crosswalk buttons actually function. Crosswalk signals were generally installed before traffic jam had reached

44、 todays levels.But while their function was taken over by more advanced systemssuch as automated lights or traffic sensors the physical buttons were often kept, rather than being replaced at further expense. Other cities，such as Boston，Dallas and Seattle，have gone through a similar process, leaving

45、them with their own placebo pedestrian buttons. In London, which has 6, 000 traffic signals, pressing the pedestrian button results in a reliable “Wait” light. But that doesnt necessarily mean that the “green man” or “pedestrian stage” in traffic signal design profession will appear any sooner.“We d

46、o have some crossings where the green light comes on automatically, but we still ask people to press the button because that enables accessible features, said Glynn Barton, director of network management at Transport for London.These features, such as blind tracks and hearable traffic signals, help

47、people with visual disorder cross the road and only function when the button is pressed. As for the lights, a growing number of them are now combined and become a part of an electronic system that detects traffic and adjusts time frequency accordingly (giving priority to buses if theyre running late

48、, for example), which means that pressing the button has no effect.According to Langer, a Harvard psychologist, placebo buttons give us the illusion (错觉)of control and something to do in situations where the alternative would be doing nothing. In the case of pedestrian crossings, they may even make

49、us safer by forcing us to pay attention to our surroundings. “They serve a psychological purpose at the very least,” she added.1、Why are the physical buttons still kept in some cities?ABecause it may cost money to replace them.BBecause they remain as memories of a city.CBecause do have real function

50、s in traffic.DBecause they can result in reliable lights.2、Which of the following word can replace the underline word “features” in Paragraph 4?AFunctions.BUses.CEquipment.DFacilities.3、If you pressed a “placebo button” in London, what would happen?AAll traffic would be affected.BSome kind of sound

51、might appear.CPedestrians came first to cross the road.D“Green man” were bound to show up earlier.4、What can we know about “placebo buttons” from Langers words?AThey can really control traffic.BThey serve little functions.CThey may work mentally.DThey can help the blind.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满
