26、ing this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average

27、five years before a woman. There are many reasons for thistypically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men dont go to the doctor. “Men arent seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the

28、over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smokers cough for a year. “When I finally saw hi

29、m it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged（延长）his life. ”According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in th

30、e same age group. “A lot of men think they are invincible（不可战胜的）” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, Geez, if it could happen to him, . . . ”Then there is the ostrich（鸵鸟）approach, “Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather

31、not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill. “Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public pur

32、se, Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: its called premature death. ”56. What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?A. Men drink and smoke

33、 much more than women. B. Men dont seek medical care as often as women. C. Men arent as cautious as women in face of danger. D. Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases. 57. Which of the following best completes the sentence Geez, if it could happen to him, _（Para. 8）?A. it could happen to

34、me, too. B. I should avoid playing golf. C. I should consider myself lucky. D. it would be a big misfortune. 58. What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach”（Para. 9）?A. A casual attitude towards ones health conditions. B. A new therapy for certain psychological problems. C. Refusal to

35、 get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved. D. Unwillingness to find out about ones disease because of fear. 59. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?A. They may increase public expenses. B. They will save money in the long run. C. They may cause psychological strains on

36、men. D. They will enable men to live as long as women. BHere are some of the worlds most impressive subways. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesFeatures: The Tokyo Metro and Toei lines that compose Tokyos massive（庞大的）subway system carry almost 8 million people each day, making it the busiest system in th

37、e world. The system is famous for its oshiyaliterally, “pusher”who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close. And you think your commute is hell. The Moscow MetroFeatures: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best of them were built during

38、 the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers（枝形吊灯）, marble moldings and elaborate murals（精美的壁画）. With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden. The Hong Kong MTRFeatures: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the w

39、orld that actually turns a profit. Its privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership. It also introduced “Octopus cards” that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically, but buy stuff at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants a

40、nd even parking meters. Its estimated that 95% of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card. Shanghai MetroFeatures: Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system, and it has become the countrys largest in the 12 years since it opened. Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans

41、to add another 180 miles within five years. By that point, it would be three times larger than Chicago “L”. The system carries about 2. 18 million people a day. The London MetroFeatures: Londoners call their subway the Underground, even though 55 percent of it lies above ground. No matter. When youv

42、e got the oldest mass-transit system in the world, you can call it anything you like. Trains started in 1863 and theyve been running ever since. Some 3 million people ride each day, every one of them remembering to “Mind the gap”. 60. Which one can provide the riders some wonderful decorations at th

43、e stations?A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei Lines. B. The Moscow Metro. C. The London Metro. D. The Hong Kong MTR. 61. _ is done with the purpose of making money. A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei Lines B. The Moscow MetroC. The London Metro D. The Hong Kong MTR62. We can learn from the passage that Shanghai M

44、etro _. A. carries the most people each day B. is the worlds largestC. may be much larger than the Chicago “L” in the futureD. is the busiest in the worldCBelieve it or not, optical illusion（错觉）can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by near

45、ly 75 % using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons（人字形）, painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to

46、 repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashesExcessive speed plays a major role in as much as one-fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according t

47、o the Foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the Foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards（危险）are the greatestcurves, exit slopes, traffic circles and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average spee

48、d of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a

49、longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents. 63. The passage mainly discusses _. A. a new way of highway speed control B. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training drivers D. a new type of optical illusion64. On roads painted with chevrons, dr

50、ivers tend to feel_. A. they should avoid speed-related hazards. B. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they should slow down their speed. D. they are approaching the speed limit65. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to _. A. try out the Japanese method of chevr

51、ons and other patterns of stripes in certain areas. B. change the road signs across the countryC. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD. repeat the Japanese road construction66. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _. A. can keep drivers awake B. can

52、 cut road accidents in halfC. will have a longer effect on drivers D. will look more attractiveDMy father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called P

53、ip. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them（for their days were long before the days of photographs）, my first imagination regarding what they were like, were unreasonably from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me a strang

54、e idea that he was a square, strong, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the words, "Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled（长雀斑的）and sickly. Ours was the wet country, down by the river, within, as the river wo

55、und, twenty miles of the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have been gained on an unforgettable cold afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for certain, that this place overgrown with nettles（荨麻）was the churchyard（墓地）; and that Phi

56、lip Pirrip, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were also dead and buried. Suddenly I began to feel lonely and sad and afraid. I began to cry. "Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!"A fearful man, all in grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and w
