Gold will shine everywhere.65.Y ou can read this passage in the section of on a website.cationB.fashionC.entertainmentD.science(C)A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television,the more likely they are to develop depression(沮丧,抑郁) as young adults.The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent health to investigate(调查) the relationship between media use and depression.They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.As part of the survey,the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily.They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio.Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day.More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later,in 2007,more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression.The average age at that time was twenty-one.The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies,video games or radio,etc.But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression.Y oung men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.The study didn‟t explore if watching TV causes depression.But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.Last December,the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives.Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people.The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active,to read,attend religious services and to vote.66.The best title for this passage should be .A. Teens,Television and DepressionB. Men Develop Depression Easier than WomenC. Media Use Is Harmful to AdolescentsD. Take Great Care of Teenagers‟ Depression67.The result of the research seems to prove .A. teenagers are more likely to develop depression than adultsB. other media use does no harm to adolescentsC. TV probably causes teenagers to grow up with depressionD. those who watch no TV will not develop depression68.We can learn from the survey that of all the media use .A. computer games are teenagers‟ favoriteB. most teenagers prefer to listen to the radioC. teenagers enjoy watching TV very muchD. newspaper is not included in the survey69.According to the passage,what kind of activity may help prevent depression?()A. Playing computer games.B. Taking part in sports.C. Listening to the radio.D. Watching movies.70.We can conclude that a teenager should .A. play more video games instead of watching TVB. be active in taking part in outdoor activitiesC. be more active in watching educational TV programmesD. attend religious services and care for politics(D)“Clean your plate!”and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!”Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent.Often,it‟s accompanied by an appeal:“Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!”Sure,we should be grateful for every bite of food.Unfortunately,many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying “clean the plate”,perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion(食物量) sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now,apparently,some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can‟t afford fine dining still prefer large portions.Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 per year want smaller portions.It‟s not that working class Americans don‟t want to eat healthy.It‟s just that,after long hours at low-paying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paych eck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year‟s Christmas presents.71.Parents in the United States tend to ask their children .A. not to waste foodB. to wash the dishesC. not to eat too muchD. to save food for tomorrow72.Why do American restaurants serve large portions?()A. Because Americans have big bellies.B. Because Americans are too weak.C. Because Americans are good eaters.D. Because Americans associate quantity with value.73.What happened in the 1970s?()A.The American waistline started to expand.B.The United States produced more grain than needed.C. The US government called on its people to reduce their weight.D. Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.74.What does the survey indicate?()A.Twenty percent Americans want smaller portions.B. Many low-income Americans want large portions.C. Fifty-seven percent Americans want large portions.D. Forty-five percent Americans want smaller portions.75.Which of the following is NOT true of working class Americans?()A.They work long hours.B. They live from paycheck to paycheck.C.They don‟t want to be healthy eaters.D.They want to save money for their children.班级___________ 姓名______________ 学号________________第II 卷非选择题I.首字母填空(每小题1分，共10分)1.
