19、am, and Group B to avoid deliberate（故意的）exercise of any sort during those 7 weeks. On the day before the exercise program began, all 50 men participated in a step-test. This consisted of stepping up and down on a 16-inch bench at 30 steps a minute for 5 minutes. One minute after completion of the st
20、ep-test，the pulse rate of each subject was taken and recorded. This served as the pretest for the experiment. For the next 7 weeks, subjects in the experimental group（Group A）rode an Exercycle（a motor-driven bicycle-type exercise machine）for 15 minutes each day. The exercise schedule called for ride
21、rs to ride relaxed during the first days ride，merely holding on to the handle bars and foot pedals as the machine moved. Then, for the next 3 days, they rode relaxed for 50 seconds of each minute, and pushed, pulled, and pedaled actively for 10 seconds of each minute. The ratio of active riding was
22、increased every few days. so that by the third week it was half of each minute, and by the seventh week the riders were performing 15 solid minutes of active riding. At the end of the 7 weeks, the step-test was again given to both groups of subjects, and their pulses taken. The post-exercise pulse r
23、ates of subjects in the experimental group were found to have decreased an average of 30 heart beats per minute, with the 1owest decrease 28 and the highest decrease 46.

27、 quickly. It is an essential skill in any environment where you have to master large amounts of information quickly, and its a key technique to learn if you suffer from “Information Overload”.Most people learn to read in the way young children read either letter by letter, or word by word. As an adu
28、lt, this is probably not the way you read nowthink about how your eye muscles are moving as you read this. You will probably find you are fixing your eyes on one block of words, then moving your eyes to the next block of words, and so on. You are reading blocks of words at a time，not individual word
29、s one by one. You may also notice that you do not always go from one block to the next: sometimes you may move back to a previous block if you are unsure about something . A skilled reader will read many words in each block. He or she will only stop on each block for an instant, and then will move o
30、n. Only rarely will the readers eyes skip back to a previous block of wordsThis reduces the amount of work that the readers eyes have to do It also increases the amount of information that can be examined in a period of time. A poor reader will be slowed down, spending a lot of time reading small bl
31、ocks of words. He or she will skip back often,1osing the flow and structure of the text and overall understanding of the subjectThis irregular eye movement makes reading tiring. Poor readers tend to dislike reading, and may find it harder to concentrate and understand written information. To improve
32、 the speed of your reading, read more words in each block and reduce the length of time spent reading each block.45What is the best title for the text? AWhat is a skilled reader? BHow does a poor reader read? CWhat is speed reading? DReading in blocks.46The readers eyes sometimes move back because .
33、 Ahe is reading word by word Bhe wants to make sure of somethingChe wants to reduce the amount of workDit can increase the amount of information47If you skip back too often while reading，you will Aget tired of reading eventually Bfix your eyes on much bigger blocks Cdislike the irregular eye movemen
34、t Dunderstand the text more deeply48How can you improve the speed of your reading? AUnderstand the information quickly BConcentrate on the text all the time CExamine the information in a short timeDRead more words in each block quicklyCAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New Yo
35、rk City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied, “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depresse
36、d lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it strengthened my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Child
37、ren dont seem childlike any more. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is based not only o
38、n born biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we
39、keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(演示) machine has been fixed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, indiscriminately(不加区分地), to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist t
40、he temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a compl
41、ex code（代码）of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.49Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world .Athrough touch with society Bgradually and under guidance Cnaturally and by biological instinct(本能)
42、Dthrough exposure to social information50In the authors opinion, the phenomenon that todays children seem adultlike is caused by . Athe widespread influence of televisionBthe poor arrangement of teaching contentCthe fast step of human intellectual developmentDthe constantly rising standard of living
43、51Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?AIt enables children to gain more social information.BIt develops childrens interest in reading and writing.CIt helps children to memorize are to learn.DIt can control what children and to learn.52 What does the author think of
44、 the change in todays children?AHe feels amused by the childrens adultlike behavior.BHe thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.CHe considers it a positive development.DHe seems to be upset about it.D The food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made great steps i
45、n making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some researches have shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancers are related to diet as well.Different cultures are subject to certain illnesses becaus
46、e of the food that is characteristic in these cultures, That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐) commonly used to keep color in meats, and other food additives(添加剂), caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and
47、 it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cows and chickens and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated co
48、ws. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although the FDA has tried repeatedly to control these, the practices continue.53It can be inferred
49、that . Adiseases caused by food have been done away withBwe had no information about the value of foodCsome harmful materials have been added to our foodDscientists have made food more expensive to eat54What are nitrates used for? AThey help process packaged food.BThey keep color in meats.CThey cure
50、 diseases of cows and chickens.DThey cause the animals to become fatter.55Which of the following statements is NOT true? AYou can find out harmful additives on the packaging labels of food.BDrugs given to animals are not all for medical reasons.CResearchers knew about the harm of food additives over
51、 60 years ago.DFood may cause forty percent of cancers in the world.56According to the passage, the FDA might be . Aan organization which controls the safety of foodBa producer which makes additivesCa factory which processes foodDa hospital which cures cancers2,4,62,4,6E Everyone knows that taxation
52、 is necessary in a modern state: without it , it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us; nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves; nor the ministers and members of pa
53、rliament（国会；议会）who govern the country for us. By means of taxation，we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat.But though everyone knows that taxation is necessary，different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should ea
54、ch person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be ta
55、xed equally?In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing，and the percentageof tax grows greater as the taxpayers income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as
56、 ninety-five per cent!But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of high
57、er prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things 1ike jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it.
58、Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement.57Which of the following statements about income tax is NOT true in most Countries? AThe poorest pay no tax. BThe poor pay the same taxes as the ric
