15、The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
16、 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-thir
17、d 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 womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones. This gender difference
18、 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, sai
19、d 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.36. The underlined word“longevity in the second paragraph probably refers
20、to _. A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect37. The text mainly talks about _. A. mens heart cells B. womens ageing process、 C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life38. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that A. women have more cells than men when they are born B. women
21、can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age D. women never lose their pumping power with age39. 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
22、your heart healthy D. prevent your cells from being lost40. 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 pr
23、event the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20BJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.J.C., he
24、 replied.She thought he had said Jesse, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would
25、 in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he giv
26、e up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the A
27、fricanAmerican winners.It was all right with me, he said years later.I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years
28、 before his death.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.Sure, it bothered me, he said later. But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.In time, h
29、owever, his gold medals changed his life.They have kept me alive over the years, he once said. Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.41.Owens got his other name Jesse when.A.he went to Ohio State University B.his teacher made fun of himC.his teacher took J. C.for Jesse D.he won g
30、old medals in the Big Ten meet42.In the Big Ten meet，OwensA.hurt himself in the back B.succeeded in setting many recordsC.tried every sports event but failed D.had to give up some events43.We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because.A.he was not of the r

33、ol uniforms（制服） are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. Thats no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to t
34、heir clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students
35、 choose for themselves creates social barriers(障碍); school uniforms tear those barriers down.As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the symbol (象征) of law and order. The u
36、niform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an educ
37、ation.Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their childrens “creativity.” First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Second, students have the rest of the
38、day to be as creative as they like. While theyre in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.46. In Paragraph 1, the word “benefits” pr
39、obably means .A. tasks B. messages C. differences D. advantages47. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general .A. prevent the wearers from being laughed atB. help the wearers keep their duties in mindC. are seen as a symbol of powerD. help to create social barriers48. Some people are against
40、 school uniforms because .A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniformsB. they believe that uniforms will make students less creativeC. they dont agree that uniforms can remove social barriersD. they think that school uniforms are too popular49. The author would probably agree tha
41、t .A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or notB. students individuality may not come from school educationC. students creativity is related to the clothes they chooseD. school uniforms help to create equality among students50. School uniforms are becoming more and more popular a
42、nd important because _ A. they can stop the powerful social sorting and labeling. B. if all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing. C. uniforms can remind the wearers of their purposes and duties D. school uniforms will affect their childrens cre
