13、ll.Avremel never married, and he shared a house with his brother and his family. He was a loving uncle to his brother's children; and he was devoted to caring for his aging parents. He was a "family man" in every sense of the word. At the same time, he had his own life, his varied inte

14、rests, and a job and friends.When the tragedy occurred, Avremel was age 55, and his friend, Ed Beyea, was age 42. Ed became disabled after a diving accident at age 22, but he managed to work 14 years at Blue Cross since his injury Both he and Avremel were program analysts who worked on the 27th floo

15、r of World Trade Center.They both loved books and music, and they both served as the special uncle of their respective families. Like Avremel, Ed had no children of his own, but he was a father figure to his two nephews after their father died.On the morning of September 11, Ed wanted to wait until

16、he could be securely carried down by several rescue workers, as it was dangerous for someone with his disability to be moved. Avremel wouldn't allow his friend to wait alone when everyone else was fleeing the building, and he stayed with him.In the days that followed, the media learned about Aw&

17、#39;emel's selfless act, and the story began to spread. President Bush, in his national prayer address to the American people, referred to Avremel's act as one of the many "outstanding acts of sacrifice" that were demonstrated by Americans during this crisis.16、What happened to Avr

22、han 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

23、 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 sahshaker (盐瓶).But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what h

24、appens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food-and the results have pointed in eve3 direction. Sonre 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

25、 randomized (随机的) , controlled trial, 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 vari

26、ety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume. If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to control 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.21、It is stated in Paragraph 1 t

28、food and packaged food23、What does the word "murky' (Para. 3) probably mean?A Unclear B SignificantC Obvious D Exaggerated24、What does Dr. Michael Alderman say about a randonfized, controlled trial?A It has been successfully conductedB It should be carded out.C It is already under way.D It

29、is too late to try it.25、As stated in the last paragraph, people with normal blood pressureA should consider a change of their lifestyleB have every reason to be careful about sodiumC will not be affected by the amount of sodium takenD do not have to take sodium too seriouslyPassage ThreeThere is a

30、tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales ( 大捆 ) on his land.They have tried to fine him a l

31、ot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that California's building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders-among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Council's code connnitt

32、ee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is

33、therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could' withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit LosAng

34、eles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr Eisenbe

35、rg observes, "the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isn't to avoid straw. It's that you don't let a pig build your house."26、By "the cards were stacked against Warren Brush, the author means that BrashA received punishment B made a breakthroughc would be in trouble D might w

36、in a prize27、David Eisenberg is mentionedA as a representative of official opinionsB for the purpose of supporting Warren BrushC to provide evidence against straw housesD to show the importance of the building codes28、What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A The structure of straw houses.B The possibility

37、 of building straw houses.C The suggestions for building straw houses.D The advantages of straw houses.29、It can be learned from the last paragraph that CaliforniaAl will fine Warren Brush as plannedB will reduce the fine on Warren BrushC may consider a heavier fine on Warren BrushD may not fine War

38、ren Brash30、The author's purpose in writing the passage is toA show that straw can be used to build housesB highlight the prejudice against straw housesC explain how to build a house with strawD introduce a new building materialPassage FourI was talking with a senior Public Relations manager the

39、 other day about "The Game Trainers" and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games.These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children,' he told me. This st

40、atement highlighted many of his assumptions.He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these "serious people with serious jobs" could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to flow

41、more freely through "games".His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a "game" is and what it is for, as well as a set notion of what "work" nmst look like for it to be considered of value. It's not a coincidence (巧合) that

42、 the most successful companies of the last decade, including Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun， creativity and innovation. Their success has not been achieved through a strict work environment, dull meetings and a

43、9 to 5 work time. Instead they have flowing and flexible work spaces, a culture of cooperation, opportunities for creativity and relaxed work structures.The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And

44、 so, I said to the PR man, it's a good thing that they are "serious people with serious jobs", because we also are extremely serious about play, and in today's environment they simply cannot afford not to play games.31、What does the PR manager think of the authors proposal of playi

45、ng games?Al It is against the rule. B It makes no sense.C It is worth a try. D It would be beneficial.32、The author suggests that the PR managers position on gamesA represents a common misunderstandingB allows for greater work efficiencyC is based on scientifically proven conceptsD is hard to unders
