31、 Americans who lost so much in the terrible events of September the 11th, 2001, and have felt that loss every day since.       Three years ago, the struggle of good against evil was compressed into a single morning. In the space of only 102 minutes, our country lost mor

32、e citizens than were lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Time has passed, but the memories do not fade. We remember the images of fire, and the final calls of love, and the courage of rescuers who saw death and did not flee.       We remember the cruelty of enemies who

33、murdered the innocent, and rejoiced in our suffering. We remember the many good lives that ended too soon which no one had the right to take.       And our nation remembers the families left behind to carry a burden of sorrow. They have shown courage of their own. And w

34、ith the help of Gods grace, and with support from one another, the families of terror victims have shown a strength that survives all hurt. Each of them remains in the thoughts and prayers of the American people.       The terrorist attacks on September the 11th were a

35、turning point for our nation. We saw the goals of a determined enemy: to expand the scale of their murder, and force America to retreat from the world. And our nation accepted a mission: We will defeat this enemy.       The United States of America is determined to guar

36、d our homeland against future attacks. As the September the 11th Commission concluded, our country is safer than we were three years ago, but we are not yet safe.       Thank you for listening.       (1). According to this passage, all

42、160;A television interview. 43.       If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise-and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon

43、.       Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.      

44、0;With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.       Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and

45、 side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)   

46、;    Contraction of front and side parts was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and-seventy-year-olds.       Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction norm

47、ally associated with age-using the head.       The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. Whi

48、te collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.       Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properl

49、y in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators.”       (1). The team of doctors wanted to find

50、out _A_.  (A) why certain people age sooner than others   (B) which people are most intelligent   (C) how to make people live longer   (D) the size of certain peoples brains (2).本题2分 What are their research findings based on? C  &

51、#160;(A) A survey of farmers in northern Japan.   (B) Tests performed on a thousand old people.   (C) The study of brain volumes of different people.   (D) The latest development of computer technology. (3).本题2分 The doctors tests show that _D_.&

52、#160; (A) sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds   (B) the front section of the brain does not shrink   (C) some peoples brains have contracted more than other peoples   (D) our brains shrink as we grow older (4).本题2分 The

53、word “subjects” in paragraph 5 means_B_.  (A) branches of knowledge studied   (B) persons chosen to be studied in an experiment   (C) something to be considered   (D) any member of a state except the supreme ruler (5).本题2分 According to

54、 the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others? C   (A) Clerks. (B) Shop assistants.  (C) Lawyers. (D) Farmers. 44.       Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players wh

55、o were truly great. How did these players get that waywas it through training and practice, or are great players born, not made? First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the pastplayers that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six

56、countries have ever won the World Cupthree from South America and three from Western Europe. There has never been a great national teamor a really great playerfrom North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer

57、 player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.       Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhooda poor, crowded area where a boys dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool which produced the Beatles (甲壳虫乐队)，had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball” made of rags. And George Best learn
