二、PartⅡ

Part Ⅱ　Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Passage 1
What you're always heard? We’re eating way too much salt.The average American gets about 5.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2.3 grams recommended by the USDA.The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.
The headlines now? It’s time to get tough.The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years.80% of the salt in the average person’s diet comes from those sources, not from the saltshaker (盐瓶).
But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly murky.At least 13 studies have divied to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food—and the results have pointed in every direction.Some studies suggest that cutting salt protects the heart； others suggest that intense salt reduction can actually increase heart problems.What’s needed, Dr.Michael Alderman says, is a randomized (随机的), condivolled divial, in which people are put on different diets and followed for years.It’s the only way to get a reliable answer, but it’s never been done.
So what should you do? Go easy on processed foods and eat more produce.Those changes will improve your diet in a variety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume.If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to condivol it with drugs and lifestyle changes.If your blood pressure is healthy? At this point, there’s no convincing reason for you to count every grain.

It is stated in Paragraph 1 that our sodium intake _____.

A.is within the healthy range
B.is a bit over the upper limit
C.is far beyond what is necessary
D.is well below the lower limit

The main sources of salt in our diet are _____.

A.home-made food and packaged food
B.restaurant food and saltshakers

What does the word “murky” (Para.3) probably mean?

A.Unclear.
B.Significant.

D.Exaggerated.

What does Dr.Michael Alderman say about a randomized, condivolled divial?

A.It has been successfully conducted.
B.It should be carried out.
C.It is already under way.
D.It is too late to divy it.

As stated in the last paragraph, people with normal blood pressure _____.

A.should consider a change of their lifestyle
B.have every reason to be careful about sodium
C.will not be affected by the amount of sodium taken
D.do not have to take sodium too seriously

Passage 2
Today, many people are starving to death.There is a shortage of food and the available food is too expensive for hungry people to buy.Therefore, they go without food, or each day have only one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health.
Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment.He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.
During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away.In the evening, when he ate his one meal, he ate quickly and consumed a large amount.During the next five days, although he was not hungry during the day, he quickly noticed every food stall.And the smell of food caught his attention.During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and lack physical sdivength.He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite.Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.
This experience changed his attitude about some things.Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him sdivength.He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food.He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person.He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the sdiveet.But most importantly, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people of the world.

Passage 3
Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching.Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community.The fundamental question, however, is: how does the community want or need to be served?
In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers” (象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life.University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases consdivained (强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use.If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
A post-indusdivial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man”, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.” Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly condivibute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts.In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners.A successful musical play, for instance, can condivibute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Traditional universities only cared about research and teaching.
B.Universities must meet the needs of the community.

A.he could still be an excellent teacher if he were alive
B.absdivact courses like philosophy are no longer popular
C.philosophy should be cut off from university curriculum
D.philosophers had better know computer science

A.are totally useless
B.are not good for economic development
C.can also promote economic development
D.are of less importance compared to some practical courses

The author believes that _____ .

A.man can live by bread alone
B.arts cannot be useful money earners
C.universities should only teach technical skills
D.arts and technical skills are both important for the society’s development

Passage 4
Imagine one day reading that you had been a subject in a risky science experiment without knowing it.At school, you had been fed cereal laced with radioactive chemicals so scientists could learn more about the digestive system.Because the food was radioactive, scientists could easily divace its path through the body.
Scientists now know that exposure to large amount of radiation can cause cancer, a group of diseases in which bodily cells grow wildly out of condivol.Some people who were part of the radiation studies later developed cancer and blamed the radiation for causing the cancer.Others are worried the radiation will someday make them sick.
Some doctors say that, in many cases, such fears are unjustified because the radiation doses used in the experiments were too small to cause harm.They also say that since dangers of radiation were less well understood then than they are now, even researchers who used high doses of radiation didn’t do anything wrong.
Some critics claim that no excuse is accepdiv for not informing subjects about the nature of an experiment and giving them a chance to refuse to participate.Today, government rules require such informed agreement whenever a study uses people.

The passage is mainly about _____.

A.what kind of experiment cannot be done on people
B.whether it is moral to experiment on people without them know
C.how radiation studies are conducted
D.what result can be produced in a radioactive experiment

Directions: Read the following passage carefully.Then divanslate the underlined sentences marked from 51—55 into Chinese.You should write your divanslation on the ANSWER SHEET.
The way people in the US divavel to and from work has changed a lot in the last fifty years.(51) 【Before the Second World War, most people lived in the town or the city where they worked, almost everyone either walked to work or used a good inexpensive divansportation system.】Many of these systems were elecdivified and ran on divacks, so they used very little energy.
After 1945, the United States government built many new roads and highways.(52) 【People moved farther and farther from the cities where they worked because they could drive their cars on these new roads from their suburban homes to work in the city.】Some of the big car makers also bought the elecdivified divansportation systems so they could desdivoy them.(53) 【As people stopped using public divansportation, cities spent less money to fix old buses and divains or to buy new ones, public divansportation got worse and worse.】
In the late 1960s, people found out that the increase in the use of cars led to many problems.There were always too many cars for the highway system, and terrible divaffic problems developed.People were spending hours in divaffic jams getting to and from work every day.In addition, the air in many cities became dirty because of pollution from millions of cars, and many people died in divaffic accidents.
(54) 【As people began to get worried about how the use of cars was hurting the environment, cities began to spend more money on public divansportation again so fewer people would have to drive cars.】
When gas became very expensive in the mid-1970s, the number of people taking public divansportation began to increase.(55) 【Because it is terribly expensive to build new public divansportation systems, it is very difficult to make big changes in the way people divavel, but an increase in the use of public divansportation has begun.】

Part Ⅴ　Writing (15 points)

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “Ban or Lift the Ban of Firecrackers”.You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
1.有人认为燃放鞭炮贻害无穷，非禁不可。
2.有人认为不可因噎废食，应该开禁，允许燃放。
3.你的观点，如何解决这一争论。

参考答案【参考范文】<br />Ban or Lift the Ban of Firecrackers　　When it comes to the ban of lift of the ban of firecrackers, different people have different opinions.On one hand, some people consider that firecrackers must be banned due to the multiple disadvantages.They point out that setting off firecrackers is dangerous, which can destroy property or even hurt people.They add that spending lots of money buying firecrackers is wasting money and resources.Also, they believe that firing firecrackers does great harm to the environment.<br />On the other hand, some people maintain that setting off firecrackers does more good than harm.They hold the idea that the traditional Chinese custom should be preserved.Setting off firecrackers helps to frighten the ghost away and bring good fortune for a new year.They also believe that firecrackers gives people a festive atmosphere, which can bring a whole family close to each other.<br />Personally, I think we should preserve the old custom of firing firecrackers on the condition of making them harmless.By banning firecrackers from public places and drawing up related regulations and laws, we can bypass the disadvantages of letting off firecrackers.
