Test Four Part I.Reading Comprehension Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements.Each of them is given four suggested options A, B,C,and D.You should choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter with your pencil. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: As 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 to a healthy mind and body. Stress is a 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 vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life.It 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 withstand 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 choice between life and death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be 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.

4 What does"such a reaction"in Sentence 7,Paragraph 3,refer to? 5. In the last sentence of the passage,what does"do so"refer to? Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Almost everybody wants to live as long as possible.And given the enormous strides (进展，进步)made in medicine and the health sciences during the past 1.5 0 years,.people could be forgiven for hoping that someday human beings will live,if not quit forever,at least far longer than at present.Since the mid-19h century,average life expectancy at birth has nearly doubled:from 40 years to 75.Today many people live past 100,and the oldest individuals have reached either 115 or 120,depending on whom you believe. So it comes as something of a jolt(引起震惊的事情)to be told by the experts that human beings have taken life about as far as it can go.That is the sobering conclusion of a report in Science magazine last week by three specialists.Barring an unexpected breakthrough in basic science that would forestall the aging process,they say,the era of rapid increases in human longevity has come to an end---at least in developed countries. Even if science could eliminate heart disease and cancer---which account for nearly 50% of all deaths in the U.S.---it is unlikely that the average life expectancy at birth would increase much beyond 85. What makes the report so compelling is that it is based on simple mathematics.In the past,the upper limits of life have been extrapolated(推断)from actuarial(关于保险 统计计算出来的)tables by estimating how death rates would change if,.say,the incidence of heart disease was halved."We reversed the question,"says Olshansky,one of the specialists.Taking an"engineering approach,"his team members asked themselves how much mortality (rates would have to be reduced in order to increase average life expectancy to 120 years.What they discovered,after running the numbers through a computer,was that big hits in current death rates in the U.S.would give only small lifts to life expectancy.For example,if through some miracle of medicine and risk avoidance no one ever again died before reaching age 50,the increase in average life expectancy would be only 3.5 years. 6.The passage mainly suggests that A.human beings can live much longer than present 27

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Almost everybody wants to live as long as possible. And given the enormous strides (进展, 进步) made in medicine and the health sciences during the past 150 years, people could be forgiven for hoping that someday human beings will live, if not quit forever, at least far longer than at present. Since the mid-19th century, average life expectancy at birth has nearly doubled: from 40 years to 75. Today many people live past 100, and the oldest individuals have reached either 115 or 120, depending on whom you believe. So it comes as something of a jolt（引起震惊的事情）to be told by the experts that human beings have taken life about as far as it can go. That is the sobering conclusion of a report in Science magazine last week by three specialists. Barring an unexpected breakthrough in basic science that would forestall the aging process, they say, the era of rapid increases in human longevity has come to an end--- at least in developed countries. Even if science could eliminate heart disease and cancer--- which account for nearly 50% of all deaths in the U.S. --- it is unlikely that the average life expectancy at birth would increase much beyond 85. What makes the report so compelling is that it is based on simple mathematics. In the past, the upper limits of life have been extrapolated （推断） from actuarial（关于保险 统计计算出来的）tables by estimating how death rates would change if, say, the incidence of heart disease was halved. “We reversed the question,” says Olshansky, one of the specialists. Taking an “engineering approach,” his team members asked themselves how much mortality (死亡 ) rates would have to be reduced in order to increase average life expectancy to 120 years. What they discovered, after running the numbers through a computer, was that big hits in current death rates in the U.S. would give only small lifts to life expectancy. For example, if through some miracle of medicine and risk avoidance no one ever again died before reaching age 50, the increase in average life expectancy would be only 3.5 years. 6. The passage mainly suggests that _____________. A. human beings can live much longer than present
B.human life-span,despite medical advances,has an upper limit C.the decrease of the death rates give lifts to life expectancy D.average life expectancy will be tripled by the end of twentieth century 7.According to the passage,the average life expectancy in the mid-19th century was A.40 years B.75 years C.100 years D.120 years 8.It can be inferred from the passage that A.the upper limit of life expectancy is 150 years B.modern medicine is responsible for the low death rates C.heart disease and cancer are the major causes for deaths in the U.S D.a study of the death rates led to the sobering conclusion 9.According to report,the era of rapid increase in human life-span would appear,only if A.the incidence of heart disease were halved B.no one died before reaching age 50 C.a new medicine were found to cure heart disease and cancer D.a great invention were made to delay the aging process 10.The word "reversed"in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to A.turned B.altered C.canceled D.exchanged Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Suicide presents a peculiar type of crime in which victim and perpetrator are the same. Although rape,murder,and other instances of aggression and criminality evoke powerful negative reactions in most of us,it is probably true that none of these gives rise to the same degree of guilt and shame as is often associated with suicide.So great is the social mark of shame surrounding the deliberate taking of one's life that the event is more often than not covered up both by those close to the suicide victim and by law enforcement and news agencies as well.It is hardly surprising;therefore,that we have little reliable information concerning suicide rates,and that the information we do have is likely to comprise a significant underestimate in any case. Although there were reportedly few suicides committed by children under the age of 15,the most dramatic rise in suicide rates during the last decade was among the age group 14 to 19.Approximately 19 out of every 100,000 adolescents (in the United States committed suicide in 1975.When this figure is compared to the national rate for all age groups(approximately 10 per 100,000),the extent to which suicide is an adolescent problem becomes evident.It should be noted,however,that suicide rates do not reach their peak until the age range between 75 and 84(27.9 per 100,000).Indications 28

It should be noted, however, that suicide rates do not reach their peak until the age range between 75 and 84 (27.9 per 100,000). Indications
are that college students are perhaps twice as likely to commit suicide as their noncollege peers.And males are more likely to do away with themselves than are females,even though almost three times more females will attempt suicide than males. 11.According to the author,which is the major difference between suicide and other types of crime?

Two hundred years ago, marriages were often arranged by parents, with economic considerations being the most important determinant of who married whom. Two hundred years ago, divorce was rare; now, more than one out of three marriages end in divorce. Two hundred years ago, women did not work out of the home, and children were an economic asset; now nearly 50 percent of married women work outside the home, and children are a financial liability (不利条件). In our fast-paced society, the family is now changing even more rapidly than it did in
the past. In viewing the future of the American family,some authorities foresee the family as racing toward extinction.They say that the family is dead except for the first year or two of child racing,and this will be its only function. Family optimists,on the other hand,predict the family is entering a Golden Age----an era where the members will have more leisure time to spend with each other and will derive considerable enjoyment from family-type activities.Most sociologists,however, do not agree with either the pessimists or the optimists;instead,they argue that the family is experimenting with a number of novel types and forms,many of which will probably be discarded,but some are likely to be found satisfying and functional and gradually becoming "typical". 16.The main idea of this passage can be best summarized as A.changes taking place in our family system B.different views towards families of tomorrow C.what families will be like in the future D.what family roles women played in the past 17.What is the most important factor in selection of a husband or a wife two hundred years ago?

There may also be declines in the person’s language skills, spatial or temporal orientation, 60 or other cognitive 61 and personality changes may also be 62 to see. Senility usually has a slow, gradual onset and is 63 common in persons over age 75. The most common 64 of the syndrome is Alzheimer’s disease, which 65 for about 50 percent of all elderly persons with 66 mind and is hard to restore a former state. The second most common cause is vascular (血管的) senility which arises from hypertension ( high blood pressure ) or some other vascular condition. In this type, a series of small strokes (中风 ) progressively destroy small 67 of the brain, eventually leading to senility. There is no 68 for alzheimer’s disease, but vascular senility can 69 be prevented or its 70 slowed by treatment of the underlying systemic vascular disorder. Among other significant causes of senility in the elderly are Huntington’s chorea, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. 51. A. linked B. tied C. associated D. joined 52.

Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you went by land, you would have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the northern coast, it would take about four hours. What would it be like to take a trip by plane from Caracas to the falls? For hundreds of miles you would become higher, and you would see mountains with forests. Soon the land would level out to high plateaus(高原). Finally, you would fly toward a deep canyon with steep, rocky sides. Suddenly you would see a silver thread in the distance. Then as your plane flew closer, you would see the waterfall more clearly. You would see water falling over half a mile straight down the cliff. It is a sight you would never forget. No one knew about this high waterfall until 1930. In that year James Angel, an American pilot, flew over the area. As he was flying over the mountains and canyons, he suddenly saw a waterfall. It was an impressive sight: the water seemed to be dropping straight out of the clouds. In 1941 an American expedition explored and measured the falls. From the top to the bottom, the water falls more than 3,200 feet. These falls are over 1,000 feet higher than any other falls in the world. 1. Few people have ever seen Angel Falls, as .
