PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (30 points)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several qu

29、estions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illness

30、es may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make

31、 almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental a

32、spect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially acce

33、pted thing to do.A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related b

34、ehavior is usually one of personal choice. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical (统计的) probability of shortening

35、life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity (长寿).56. The concep

36、t of personal choice concerning health is important because _.A. wrong decisions could lead to poor healthB. it helps raise the level of our medical knowledgeC. it is essential to personal freedom in American societyD. it helps cure most illnesses57. To “live a completely sedentary life-style” (Para

37、.1) in the passage means _.A. to “live a decent life” B. to “live an inactive life” C. to “live a life of vice” D. to “live a life with complete freedom”58. Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because _.A. few people are willing to trade the quality of life for the quantity of li

38、feB. people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friendsC. current medical knowledge is not enough yetD. there are many factors influencing our decisions59. To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to _.A. deliberately ending ones life B. improv

39、ing the quality of ones life C. limiting ones personal health choice D. breaking the rules of social behavior60. According to Fries and Crapo sound health choices should be based on _.A. personal decisions B. statistical evidence C. friends opinions D. societys lawsBThe time of year a baby is born c

40、an shape what profession they will embark on in later life, a new study has suggested. Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found.Researchers have uncovered that the month i

41、n which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life. A child born in December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found.A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an a

42、rtist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots. Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist. The study was derived by researchers who analy

43、zed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census, the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be difficult to explain, correlations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis. Spring babies are at greater risk of i

44、llnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimers disease, asthma and autism. They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year. 61. What does the underlined phrase “embark on” refer to?A. land on B. keep in touch with C. be occupied in D. resign from62. According to the resear

45、chers, a child born in March is likely to become_.A. a debt collector B. a pilot C. a dentist D. an artist63.

There exist connections between birth date and occupations B. The fate has been already decided when people are born C. People born in Autumn wo

47、uld be more successful than those born in SpringD. The time of year one is born decides which specific health problems one has65.

Summer babies may be less clever than those born in other seasons.C The North Alabama Birding Trail (路径) (NABT) is a series of fifty sites across eleven counties in the northern part of the stat

49、e. Although some sites do contain walking trails, the North Alabama Birding Trail is not an actual trail. Some of the sites are roadside stops and others are located in parks , preserves , or wildlife(避难所 ) . A few sites can be explored by canoe or boat. All of the sites were selected because they p

50、rovide excellent opportunities for bird watching. A committee made up of conservation groups, wildlife experts, and birding enthusiasts (狂热者) selected the sites for the trail. The sites can be visited all the year round. although some offer greater diversity at certain seasons. Habitats along the NA

51、BT include forests, rivers, wetlands. and grasslands. A variety of birds may be seen at some of the stops along the trail. Some sites have large concentrations of migratory birds, which have regular seasonal journeys. Other stops allow a glimpse of rare or endangered birds. Types of birds that may b

52、e seen along the trail include water birds, shore birds, songbirds, and raptors(猛禽) . Telescopes are handy when you are visiting the birding sites.

53、Guntersville State Park, the Guntersville Peninsula, Little River Canyon National Preserve, and Roy B. Whitaker Paint Rock River Preserve.
