Thats the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deat
41、hs from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed(吃) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide healt
42、h benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率)of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than
43、Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces. During the last two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewes
44、t deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos.

45、sage?A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.B. There is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like Japan and Greenland.C.

Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on aver
48、age, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He
49、 says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled (取消). Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps
50、include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts (地区) may end any bus service not required by law.Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children
51、 and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that
52、 would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will

54、dent transportation.D. The origin of Walk to School Day.68. Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph?A. There are too many school buses in the United States.B. There are too many students in the US.C. Diesel prices are going up too rapidly in the US.D. School buses consum
55、e too much diesel in the US.69. In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_.A. changing some bus routes B. stopping some bus routesC. asking parents to drive children to and from schoolD. using other types of fuels70. The National Center for Safe Routes
56、 to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to _.A. save more fuels and diesel for the countryB. keep the children safe on their way to schoolC. make the children live a simple lifeD. keep the children healthy and the environment clean 第二卷第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读
