22、 increase the amount they exercise, US researchers said last week.A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.9kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not chang
23、e their television diet.The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity, said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University.American children spend an average of more than four hours p
24、er day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years, Robinson said. In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the st
25、udents to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special die
26、t or took part in any extra exercise.One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories, Robinson said. Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have su
27、ggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more, Robinson said.51. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that _.A. children will get fatter if they eat too muchB. children will get thinner if they eat lessC. children will get fatter if they spend less time watc

31、college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age-73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years. When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further
32、education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didnt think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs Han
33、son never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks
34、 around classes to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.56. Mrs Hanson couldnt go to college immediately after sh
35、e graduated from high school because _.A. she hadnt got enough money B. she was a country girl C. the banker ordered her not to borrow any moneyD.the banker thought she should raise a family of nine children57.

38、c e d a D. e d a c bCRecently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to k
39、eep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they often see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you
40、 are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesnt. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it
41、is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discov
42、ered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I dont Know much. All I am is rich.People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my
43、 life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.60. According to the
44、first paragraph, people have not realized _.A. how important money is in their day-to-day lifeB. how one spends money shows what is important to himC. that money is more important than their philosophy of life D. that their understanding of life is more important than money61. The author seems to be
45、lieve that asking your friend to lend you some money _.A. is a good way to test your friendshipB. will do harm to your friendshipC. will strengthen your friendshipD. is a good way to break off your friendship62. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?A. He does not
46、feel that he is well educated.B. He does not think that he is a very important person.C. He does not think that being rich deserves so much attention.D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.63. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?A. Money is an en
47、d. B. Money is a means.C. Money is everything. D. Money is unimportant. DThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of t
48、he nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a furth
49、er twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirem
50、ent(退休) at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in womens life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, and
51、 most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before th
52、eir first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in providin
53、g the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.64. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married _.A. at about twenty-five B. in their early fiftiesC as soon as possible after they were fifteen D. at any age from fifteen to forty-five6
54、5. We are told that in a common family about 1900 _.A. many children died before they were fiveB. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five66. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth-century mother _
55、.A. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsB. was usually expected to die fairly soon C. would expect to work until she diedD. was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one67. According to the passage, the women of today usually _. A. marry instead of getting paid work B. marry before they
56、are twenty-five C. have more children under fifteen D. have too few childrenEIts interesting that the arrival of snow has effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a catastrophe(灾害) or even a wonder.But there are
57、 countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply causes problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however light
58、, roads are blocked, trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communication is affected as well: telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours, there are also certain shortages-bread, vegetables and other things-no
59、t because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so onjust for fear that something bad should happen.But why does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, the Austrians and the Canadians dont hav
60、e such problems. It is simple because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs(扫雪机) and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs
61、is that they are used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital, education, helping the old and so on. 68. According to the writer, Britain is a country _.A. which has regular snow B. which is not well prepared for snowC. for which snow is a
62、catastrophe D. for which snow is a wonder69. After a few hours snowing there are often some shortages of food because _.A. shops have closed down B. people buy as much as they canB. farmers cannot produce any more D. people eat more vegetables in winter70. The words two kinds in the passage mean the
63、 countries _.A. which have weather as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare(少见) weatherB. which either have heavy snow or light snowC. to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs 四、短文改错（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断： 如
