American eating is funny.They eat 36 everything with a fork, and it appears that 37 a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be 38 good table manners.The system is that if it is really necessary to use a 39 , people take the fork in their left hand,and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the 40 manner. Then they put the knife down ,change the fork to their 41 ,and only then do they put the food to their mouth. This is clearly ridiculous,but it is considered good 42 .There are several results of this system .First, if it is not really 43 to use aknife ,Americans don’t use 44 ,because obviously this greatly makes things difficult,and you will therefore see them trying 45 things like potatoes ,fish and even bacon with afork..Second, towards the end of a course, since only one 46 is being used,food has to be chased around the 47 with the fork----and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food 48 , although one is not 49 to do this. Third,tables are generally 50 with one knife and two forks, the outside 51 being for salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to 52 the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, 53 if you do use your knife , remember to save it for the meat 54. Even desserts (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all 55 , and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee.36.A.nearly B.almost C.whole D.entire37.A.hold B.held C.to hold D.holding38.A.for B.agreed C.against D.disagreed39.A.knife B.fork C.chiopsticks D.spoon40.A.ordinary mon ual D.normal41.A.right B.left C.front D.back42.A.manner B.way C.manners D.means43.A.important B.necessary C.unnecessary D.good44.A.one B.it C.them D.ones45.A.cutting B.to cut off C.cutting off D.to cut46.A.method B.thing C.tool D.spoon47.A.plate B.bowl C.glass D.dishes48.A.in the place B.at place C.at the place D.in place49.A.taught B.supposed C.supposing D.askedy id C.lying in51.A.fork B.forks C.knife D.tool52.A.listen to B.obey C.do D.follow53.A.and yet B.however C.but D.and54.A.course B.step C.period D.section55.A.possibly B.possibe C.maybe D.perhaps第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential (necessary) for a healthy mind and body.Stress is natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is necessary to provide encouragement and give purpose to life. I t is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. in fact we make the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.56.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because___.A. they do not know how to enjoy themselvesB. they do not believe relaxation Is importantC. They are becoming busier with their workD. they are traveling faster all the time57. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his___.A. knowing the art of relaxationB. not fearing stressC. high sense of responsibilityD. having control over performance58. Which of the following statements is true?A. We can find some ways to avoid stressB. Different people can stand different amount of stressC. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with workD. Stress is always harmful to people59. In Paragraph 3, “such a reaction” refers to_____.A. making a choice between “flight” or “fight”B. losing heart at the signs of difficultiesC. responding to crises quicklyD. reaction to stress both chemically and physicallyBAnne Whitney, a sophomore(大学二年级学生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college.” I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn’t think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher.” Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He said, “My first chemistr ytest was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil.I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn’t even write them down!”These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme fear and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university advising courses try to help students. In these courses, advisers try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their nervousness. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in every nervous situation. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.An expert at the University of California explains,” With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great.”60. Poor grades are usually the result of______________.A. poor hygienic (卫生的) habitsB. lazinessC. Lack of sleepD. inability to form good study habits61. Test anxiety has been recognized as__________.A. an anxiety for lazinessB. the result of poor study habitsC. a real problemD. something that cannot be changed62. To deal with this problem, students had better_____.A. take a short course on anxietyB. read about anxietyC. be able to manage or understand their anxietyD. take tests to prove they are not anxiousCDr Wiseman started “the laugh lab”project in September 2001.It is the largest study of humour. Participants(参加者)are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.This is a subject that has long interested psychologists（心理学家）and philosophers（哲学家）.Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects of us and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted. This gave the scientists enough evidence（证据）to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour, for instance.“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour,”said Dr. Wiseman.“Males use humour to appear superior（优越）to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humour”.But the French like their jokes short and sharp:“You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?”“Yes. What’s the second question?”The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us. 63．Scientist started“the laugh lab ”project .A．to find the funniest joke in European countriesB．to know what funny people are from different nations and culturesC．to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour.D．to get more personal details about participants64．We can infer from the passage that_____ .A．most of the people all over the world are completely honestB．psychologists and philosophers take interest in the “laugh lab”projectC．ordinary people are not interest ed in “the laugh lab”project at allD．people tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh65．What is the main idea of the 4th and 5th paragraph?A．Man and woman have different senses of humour.B．Male and female have similar senses of humour.C．About 10,000 jokes have been submitted from September 2001 to December 2001.D．Scientists have collected enough evidence to make conclusions.66．The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans .A．to show that the French people have a better sense of humorB．to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humor”C．to show people from different nations have different senses of humorD．to prove that the Germans have no sense of humor67．Which statement is true according to the passage?A．The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans.B．The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing.C．Males are better at word play compared with women.D．Females like to use humor to show that they are supurior.DThe food that we eat seems to have deep effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has , at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of colon(结肠). Different cultures arte more likely to cause certain different illnesses because 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 preserve(keep) colour in meats, and other food additives(添加剂)，caused cancer, Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things o n the packaging instructions of processed(处理过的)food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. 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 obtain(get) a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDG) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures(courses), the practices continue.68.What is the best title of the passage ?A. Drug and FoodB. Cancer and HealthC. Food and HealthD. Health and Drug69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B. Some additives in our food are added to the food itself and some to the living animalsc. Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives.D. Food may cause forty percent cancer in the world.70. According to the passage, how has science done something harmful to mankind?A. Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food have been removed.B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C. Because of the use of science, some harmful things have been added to food.D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.71. According to the author, what are nitrates used for?A. They preserve flavor(smell) in packaged food.They preserve the color of meats.C. They are the objects of research.D. They make animals become fatter.72. The underlined word “ carcinogenic” most probably means_______.A. trouble-makingB. color-remainingC. money-makingD. cancer-causingEChina began work on one of the world’s longest bridges in Zhejiang Province On June 8. The 36km bridge over Hangzhou Bay will cut the journey between NingBo and Shanghai by 120km.The construction work is expected to be finished in five years and the bridge will open for traffic in 2009. The project will cost 11.8 billion yuan and is thought to last 100 years.The bay itself is at the center of a densely populated region that includes Shanghai on the northern edge and the major port of NingBo,Zhejiang Province,to the south.Shanghai and NingBo have close economic ties,but it is 304 kilometers long between the two cities. The bridge will shorten the distance by 120km.The flat structure could be the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the record over water is now held by the lake-crossing bridge in Lousiana,US,at 38.5km.Jin Jianming, an official in charge of the Chinese bridge project says that the new bridge reflects China’s growing economic power.The bridge is also one part of a 5,200-km highway planned as a link between the northern province of Heilongjiang and the southernmost city of Sanya on the island province of Hainan.Work on the dam began a week after engineers began filling the Three Gorges Damreservoir on the Yangtze River.73.The purpose of writing the passage is to tell us_____.A. how much the new bridge will costB. why China began to build the longest bridge across the sea in the worldC.
