15、 b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage One Passage 1One day in 1754, a man went to the market in Florence, Italy, and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwra

16、pped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes.Only one man wrote like that, the librarian said to himself. It was Galileo w

17、ho wrote these notes!Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk abo

18、ut theory; they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileos death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students, collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody lo

19、oked at Galileos notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileos n

20、otes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileos experiments were saved. 31.The librarian got Galileos notes from _D_. A the butcher B Viviani C a family living in Vivianis house D the market near Vivianis house 32.Which statement about Galileo is NOT t

22、ianis death, the notes _D_. A were given to one of his friends B were left somewhere in his house C were lost D lost its value 35.It can be inferred from the story that _A_. A the family was unaware that they had Galileos notes B the librarian bought the notes C Viviani gave the notes to the family

23、D the shopkeeper informed the librarian of the notesPassage Two Women often say they feel the effects of alcohol more than men do, even if they drink the same amount relative to body size. Now theres medical evidence that women do become affected more quickly, in part because their stomachs are less

24、 able to break down alcohol. Scientists have found that, in general, about 30 percent more alcoholappears in the bloodstreams of women than of men of similar weight after up to two drinks have been consumed. And considering that men are usually bigger than women, the findings suggest that the first

25、drink for a woman may have the same effect as the first two drinks for a man. Some of the alcohol that people drink is broken down by a stomach enzyme(酶) and never reaches the bloodstream. Since the stomach enzyme is half as active in women as in men, more of what women drink enters the bloodstream

26、in the form of pure alcohol. It is also found that the enzyme activity is lower in alcoholics particularly women who had no noticeable protection. This may help explain why more alcoholic women suffer from liver damage than alcoholic men. 36. break down in the first paragraph can be best replaced by

27、 _B_. A. split into B. decompose C. share D. cut down37. Which of the following statements is true based on the passage? A A. Women are affected more quickly by alcohol than men. B.

30、reamPassage ThreeExtra money does buy some happiness. But not as much as many people would think. Recently, two economists have constructed a sort of happiness index that assigns”3” to “very happy”, “2” to “pretty happy” and “1” to “not too happy”, and thus they reckon that an extra dollar provides

31、0.000004.9 in additional happiness. Or $10.000 would give you 0.04 units of extra happiness.The two economists, using this index, assign a dollar value to other factors that are associate with more or less happiness. They find: Second and following marriages are less happy than first marriages on av

32、erage. A 16-year-old boy whose parents divorced has a lower level of well-being in adulthood.Other findings include:To bring African-Americans up to average happiness levels, they would need an extra $30.000 in annual income.This, the authors guess, may be the impact of racial prejudice. Over the pa

33、st few decades, however, their happiness level has risen. “Blacks have made up some ground,” they say.Unemployment is highly damaging to mens happiness. It would take $60.000 a year to make up for being jobless.Mens happiness has trended up. Womens sense of well-being, though higher than that of men

34、, had fallen” noticeably”.Policies aimed at ending prejudice against women in fact have not increased their happiness on the whole.The educated people tend to be happier than those who are less educated. Many people may think that this is because they have higher income that often goed with greater

35、education. But in fact even when separated from the higher income, the educated may have a higher sense of well-being.Happiness and life satisfaction are U-shaped according to age. In the United States, peoples sense of well-being goes down to a low around 40 and then rises.Perhaps, the authors sugg

36、est, people adapt to their circumstances, give up some unfulfilled ambition by the middle of their lives, and enjoy life more.Generally the number o children and siblings a person has doesnt have an impact on both children and siblings. Some scientists found in their separate study, ” The Rising Wel

37、l-Being of the Young”. 41. Extra money_C_.A. may buy some happinessB. can buy as much happiness as people expectC. is certain to buy some happinessD. is impossible to buy happiness42.

41、They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most ntellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ide

42、as. All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a Welcome; when he leaves, his host will tell

43、 him You will be welcome again. These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners. Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden:

44、telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys
