第三部分：阅读理解(共25小题；每小题2分,满分50分)

A

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.

The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's 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 age 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 woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.

"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 loss 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.

41. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ____.

A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect

42. The text mainly talks about ______.

A. men's heart cells B. women's ageing process

C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life

43. If you want to live longer, you should ______.

A. enable your heart to beat much faster

B. find out the reason for ageing

C. exercise regularly to keep your heart health

D. prevent your cells from being lost

44. We can know from the passage that ______.

A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out

B. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells

C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss

D. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20

My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.

At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.

He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.

Have you ever heard anyone say “It’s raining cats and dogs”? It means “It’s raining hard!”

But sometimes cats and dogs do drop from the sky! Here’s how it happens.

Not so long ago, a country far away had many large rats. The people there said, “ We need cats!” So cats were sent to them by airplane. But the country had many mountains. It was hard for an airplane to land. So the cats came down by parachute(降落伞). Did the cats like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are still catching rats!

In another country far away, there is snow the year around. People sometimes got lost in it.

“We need big dogs!” the people said, “The dogs could find people lost in the snow. The dogs could help bring them home. Where can we get big dogs?”

A man across the sea had big dogs to sell. “I will send dogs to you,” he said. “ I have some very big ones. They can find people lost in the snow.”

He sent the dogs by airplane.

But the airplane did not land in the snow. The dogs came down by parachute ---- you guessed it !

Did the dogs like the ride? They didn’t say they didn’t! And today they are well and happy.

They find anyone who gets lost in the snow. Then they help him get home. Good dogs!

Remember it, so you can say, “ Yes, it does rain cats and dogs sometimes. They came down by parachute!”

 There are many stereotypes( 定型 ) about the character of people in various parts of the United States. In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable . Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions. A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.

      American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.

      When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.

52. The main idea of the passage is _____________.

   A. even Americans are surprised at the differences among themselves

If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing. you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(倾斜) his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises. then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.

To bring a child to life. keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen, If, in spite of your efforts, he stars turning a blue-grey colour, you can feel no pulse, then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.

With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.

Defenders of special protective labor law for women often say that getting rid of such laws would destroy the fruits of a century-long struggle for the protection of women workers. Even a brief examination of the historic practice of courts and employers would show that the fruits of such laws have been bitter: they are, in practice, more of a misfortune than a blessing.

Sex-defined(性别限制的) protective laws have often been based on common beliefs concerning women’s needs and abilities and employers have frequently used them as legal excuses for looking down upon women. After the Second World War, for example, businesses and governments tried to persuade women to give up jobs in factories, thus making room in the labor force for returning soldiers. The passage of state laws limiting the daily or weekly work hours of women conveniently completed this. Employers had only to declare that overtime hours were a necessary condition of employment in their factory, and women could be quiet legally fired, refused jobs, or kept at low wage(工资) levels, all in the name of “protecting” their health. By proving such laws when they are questioned by lawsuits（诉讼）, the courts have cheated people over the years in setting up different, less advantageous employment terms for women than for men, thus reducing women’s competitiveness on the job market. At the same time even the most good-hearted lawmakers, courts, and employers have often been blind to the real needs of women. The lawmakers and courts continue to permit employers to offer employees health insurance（保险）plans that cover all known human medical disabilities except those related to childbirth.

Finally, labor laws protecting only special groups are often ineffective at protecting the workers who are actually in the workplace. Some chemicals, for example, have reproductive（生殖的）risks for women of childbearing years; factory owners using the chemicals keep laws protecting women against these dangers by refusing to hire them. Thus the sex-defined law protects the supposed female workers, but has no effect whatever on the safety of any actual employees. The health risks to male employees in such industries can’t be too slight. Protective laws aimed at producing materials or techniques in order to reduce such dangers would benefit all employees without discriminating against any.

On the whole, protective labor laws for women are unfair and do not meet their intended purpose. Lawmakers should recognize that women are in the work force to stay and that their needs—good health care, an acceptable wage, and a safe workplace—are the needs of all workers. Laws that take no notice of these facts act against women’s rights for equal protection in employment.

61. According to the writer, which of the following resulted from the passage of the state laws limiting the work hours of women workers?

A. Women workers had to leave their jobs in factories.

B. Many employers had difficulty in providing jobs for returning soldiers.

C. Many employers found it hard to attract women workers.

D. The health of most women factory workers improved.

62. The writer places the word “protecting”(in paragraph 2) in quotation marks most likely in order to suggest that_______.

A. she is using the actual wording of the laws in question（正被谈到的）.

B. the protective nature of the laws in question should not be doubted about.

C. protecting the health of workers is important for those who support protective labor laws.

D. the laws in question were really used to do harm to women workers, though said to be protective in public.

63. According to the passage, which of the following is a shortcoming of protective labor laws that single out（选出）a particular group of workers for protection?

A. Such laws are often too weak to be effective at protecting the group in question.

B. Such laws are usually made by those who do not have the best interest of workers at heart.

C. Such laws have no pressure on employers to get rid of dangers in the workplace.

D. Keeping such laws is often expensive for employers and makes the other workers angry.

64. According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following does the writer consider to be most helpful in determining the value of special protective labor law for women?

A. A study of patterns of work-related illnesses in the states that had such laws and in the states that did not.

B. A review of the fact that how many women workers are in favor of such laws.

C. A study of the cost to employers keeping such laws.

D. An examination of the actual effects that such laws have had in the past on women workers.

65. The main point of the passage is that special protective labor laws for women workers are_____.

A. unnecessary because most workers are well protected by existing labor laws.

B. harmful to the economic interests of women workers while offering them little or no actual protection.

C. not worth keeping even though they do stand for a hard-won result of the labor movement.

D. unfair because male workers receive less protection than they require.

Bicycle or car

Bicycles and cars are both important vehicles. The car is fast and the bicycle can be easily parked.

Bicycle or car, which do you prefer? The Americans and the Chinese usually have different choices. The Americans prefer the car because they have been brought up together with the car. They go everywhere by car. But we Chinese like bicycles better. First of all, it is very cheap, which is very important to people in a developing country.
