IV. 阅读理解（共15题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

American women experience a great variety of lifestyle. A typical American woman may be single. She may also be divorced or married. She may be a homemaker, a doctor, or a factory worker. It is very difficult to generalize about American women. However, one thing that many American women have in common is their attitudes about themselves and their roles in American life.

Historically, American women have always been very independent. The first settlers to come to New England were ten young couples that had left behind their extended（big） families. The women were alone in a new, undeveloped country with their husbands. This has two important effects. First of all, this was the uncivilized environment that demanded every person to share in developing it and in survival. Women worked with their husbands and children to make themselves accepted in this new land. Second, because they were in a new land without the established influence of older members of society, women felt free to step into nontraditional roles.

This role of women was strengthened in later years as Americans move west again, leaving families behind and meeting a new environment. Even later, in the east, as new settlers arrived, women often found jobs more easily than men. Women became the supporters of the family.

Within the established lifestyle of the industrialized twentieth century, the strong role of women was not attractive as in the early days of the country. Some women stepped into the men’s jobs as factory and business workers. After the war, some women stayed in these positions, and others left their jobs with a new sense of ability.

56．The second paragraph is mainly about .

A．life in the new land

B．American women’s independence

C．American men’s traditional position

D．the roles American women play in society

57．During the industrialized twentieth century, the role of women .

A．was found out B．was as important as before

C．became less important D．was stronger than that of the early days

58．Women took part in men’s job during the time of .

A．the Second World War B．the Westward Movement

C．the early immigration D．the industrialized twentieth century

59．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Different lifestyles led by American women.

B．American women were free to step into nontraditional roles in society.

C．American women worked hard to establish their history.

D．American women were independent because they did not have to follow the

regulations at all.

B

Colleges are starting to wake up to how sleep deprivation（剥夺） cuts into the academic and athletic performance of their students. All-nighters have become a habit in higher education, but a handful of small new studies help document the consequences.

A study at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., showed what may seem obvious to most of the all-nighters was not an effective way to succeed in school.

“You can’t do your best work when you’re sleep-deprived,” says psychology professor Pamela Thacher, who wrote the study. Thacher studied the sleeping patterns and grades of 111 students to see the relationship between sleep and their GPAs.

Two-thirds of the students reported that they had pulled at least one all-nighter during a semester. Many students believe that it’s a “rite of passage”（标志） to stay up all night during college and that “it’s kind of fun,” Thacher says.

But “if you use all-nighters, your GPA is slightly lower on average,” Thacher says.

Short-term side effects of sleep deprivation include delayed reactions and tendencies to make mistakes.

A Stanford University study may help persuade at least student athletes to make more time for bed. Cheri Mah, a graduate researcher at Stanford, worked with six basketball players, who all ran faster and made more shots over a period in which they slept at least 10 hours a night.

“Athletes who get an extra amount of sleep are more likely to improve their performance in a game,” says Mah, who released results from an ongoing study in June. “It’s not common knowledge, because if people understood how much of a difference getting more sleep could make athletically, they’d apply it more to their lives and not focus solely on nutrition and exercise. ”

60．According to the study at St. Lawrence University, ___________.

A．one can reach his potential by staying up late

B．it takes one all night to recite a passage

C．the less one sleeps, the more effective his work is

D．all-nighters affect one’s academic performance

61. The underlined word “document” in the first paragraph probably means ______.

A．oppose B．prove C．check D．improve

62．According to Cheri Mah, _______.

A．athletes improve their performance only by means of nutrition and exercise

B．it is known to all that those who get extra sleep perform better

C．people don’t understand getting more sleep can make a difference

D．athletes should sleep as much as possible to run faster

63．What is this passage mainly concerned about?

A．A study on all-nighters at St. Lawrence University.

B．College students’ performance suffering from lack of sleep.

C．Short-term side effects of sleep deprivation.

D．A Stanford University study on athletes’ sleep.

C

BRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have pros and cons.

Good news

Free museums. No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities（古迹）. Pop music. Britain is the only country to rival （与……比敌） the US on this score.

Black cabs. London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.

Choice of food. Visitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants.

Fashion. Not only do fashion followers love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too.

Bad news

Poor service. “It’s part of the image of the place. People can dine out on the rudeness they have experienced,” says Professor Tony Seaton, of Luton University’s International Tourism Research Center.

Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists, although the over-crowded London tube is unbelievable popular.

Lack of languages. Speaking slowly and clearly may not get many foreign visitors very far, even in the tourist traps .

Rain. Still in the number one complaint.

No air-conditioning. So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the down-pours.

Overpriced hotels. The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark.

Licensing hours. Alcohol is in short supply after 11p.m. even in “24-hour cities.”

A coal-fire stove（炉灶）provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital.

With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort.

When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways（小巷） that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental（伤感） to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life.

Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions（排放） of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels.

Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan （US$323） per household. With the government's subsidy（补贴）, however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal.

67．hao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______.

A．people in Beijing are using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics.

B．people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment.

C．hutongs in Beijing have a long history.

D．people pay more money to use electric radiators than before.

68．The underlined word eliminate in the second paragraph probably means________

A．cut down. B．increase. C．get rid of. D．replace

69．We can infer from the passage that ______

A．Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove.

B．The government will pay most of the fee.

C．The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s.

D．The people do not use coal eight months in one year.

70．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．The clean air is important when the Olympics Games are held in Beijing.

B．The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air.

C．The government spares no effort to make the environment better.

D．The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.

Staying positive through the cold season could be your best defense against getting ill, new study findings suggest. In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny character were less likely to fall ill.

The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive feeling style” can help get rid of the common cold and other illnesses. Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective（客观的） as in happiness improving immune function and subjective as in happy people being less troubled by a throat ache or runny nose.

“People with a positive feeling style may have different immune responses to the virus,” explained Dr Sheldon Cohen. “And when they do get a cold, they may stop their illness from being more severe.”

Cohen found in a previous study that happier people seemed less easy to catch a cold. However, some questions remained as to whether the feeling itself had the effect.

For the new study, the researchers ask 193 healthy adults to complete some standard measures of personality and feeling style. Those who tended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive feeling style, while those who were often unhappy, tense and depressed had a negative style.

The researchers gave them some drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the volunteers reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had. While the researchers collected objective data like daily mucus（粘液）production, Cohen and his partners found that warm people were likely to keep cold at bay.

81．What is the best title of the passage? （Please answer within 10 words）

82．What is still uncertain about the positive feeling? （Please answer within 15 words）

83．Who are easier to catch a cold according to the findings? （Please answer within 10 words）
