27、orts them in achieving their goals. If this is not working at some point, it does not _42_ mean that the couple requires therapy. All relationships tend to encounter problems during _43_ periods and at different stages, and many couples have a good ability _44_ their difficulties without professiona

28、l help. However, some may find that they are continually unhappy with their relationship. Sometimes one partner feels frustrated and misunderstood _45_ his or her mate is totally unaware of the situation.

29、ssional help should be considered. Many couple only consider therapy as a last _47_.

32、ION (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then to the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square b

33、rackets on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.Passage One Remember Farid Seif? Mr Seif is the Houston Iranian-American businessman who mistakenly carried a Glock handgun through security, onto a plane, all the way from Houston to Indianapolis. When he got to his destination and realized his mistake,

34、he alerted security officials. There was reportedly “nothing else” in Mr Seifs carry-on besides the weapon. Yet the security screeners at George Bush International, Americas eighth-busiest airport, missed it entirely. The scariest part of that story was that Transportation Security Administration of

35、ficials told reporters that this type of incident was “not common.” Now another Texas airport, Dallas-Fort Worth, is providing the point. This week, a high-level TSA source told the local NBC affiliate that “An undercover TSA agent was able to get through security at Dallas/Fort Worth International

36、Airport with a handgun during testing of the enhanced-imaging body scanners.” The TSA insider who blew the whistle on the test also said that none of the TSA agents who failed to spot the gun on the scanned image were disciplined. The source said the agents continue to work the body scanners today.

37、This is not confidence-inspiring. If TSA screeners cant even stop guns getting through security, why are they taking away our bottled water? Incidents like this only lend incentives to TSA critics who say the whole airport security apparatus is an enormous waste of time and money. The TSAs attitude

38、towards the reporting of these sorts of messes isnt helpful, either. They only provided NBC with a brief statement claiming that they dont reveal the results of secret testing for “security reasons” and arguing that “advanced imaging technology is an effective tool to detect both metallic and nonmet

39、allic items hidden on passengers.” Thats pretty much the public affairs equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and saying “lalalalala we cant hear you!” It is really hard to have an accountable TSA without greater transparency about the results of secret testing. Instead of leaking hints

40、 to the press that failure rates have decreased since the last public reports, the TSA should back up its whispering with actual data. If it wont, some enterprising congressional committee should order it. “Trust us that this works” just isnt cutting it anymore.51. Mr. Seifs handgun _. A. passed the

41、 check at the Houston airport B. caused big trouble for himself in Houston C. was tracked down by officials in Indianapolis D. triggered a series of false alarms in Indianapolis52. What happened at Dallas-Fort Worth _. A. helped rebuild public confidence B. was merely an unusual accident C. caused g

42、reater concern over security D. resulted in unexpected disorder53. After the Dallas-Fort Worth report, TSA _. A. reluctantly punished the relevant agents B. allowed the relevant agents to stay in position C. enhanced security check at relevant airports D. began to reconsider relevant security method

43、s54. The TSAs statement concerning the reported cases shows that they are _. A. practical B. uncooperative C. reliable D. unpredictable55. Whats the authors demand for TSA? A. No more secret testing. B. Promising to be responsible. C. Rapid response to emergency. D. Releasing results with evidence.5

44、6. The last sentence of the passage suggests that the authors attitude to the TSA is _. A. appreciative B. critical C. tolerant D. indifferentPassage Two Once upon a time, staying a healthy weight was easy. To lose weight you simply had to practice the reverse of home economics spend more than you e

45、arned. Unfortunately for many, but perhaps not surprisingly, it turns out that people are rather more complicated than bank accounts. To stay a healthy weight, you need a hormone called leptin to work properly. It sends “Im full” messages from the fat cells up to the brain, where they go, among othe

46、r places, to the same pleasure centers that respond to drugs like cocaine. Obese people produce plenty of leptin, but the brain doesnt seem to respond to it properly. Last year, researchers at the Oregon Research Institute scanned the brains of overweight people and found their reward circuits were

47、underactive. They were eating more to try to get the enjoyment they were missing. Theres a lot of evidence for the fact that most, if not all, of us have a set point around which our weight can vary by about seven to nine kilos, but anything beyond that is a real struggle. Making changes is hard, pa

48、rticularly if your body is working against you. So why not ditch the traditional approaches and try some new methods, based on the latest research, that work with your body rather than against it.Several years ago researchers at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore reported that when they ga

49、ve rats very little food one day and allowed to eat plenty the next, they showed virtually all the benefits of a permanent calorie restriction diet. The same goes for humans, according to Dr James Johnson. How does it work? Besides forcing the body to burn fat, it may also trigger hormonal changes.

50、Most people say that the diet takes a bit of getting used to, but is not as grinding as trying to cut back on an everyday basis. How does it work? Besides forcing the body to burn fat, it may also trigger hormonal changes. Most people say that the diet takes a bit of getting used to, but is not as g

51、rinding as trying to cut back on an everyday basis. Older dieters may remember something called brown fat. Unlike the undesirable white stuff, this was a dieters dream. Instead of storing excess energy as fat, brown-fat tissue burned it off to keep you warm at least in mice. Brown fat fell out of fa

52、vor because researchers couldnt find much in humans but now, thanks to the New England Journal of Medicine, its back in fashion. The idea is to expose people to cold temperatures. They then make more brown fat and their weight drops.57. The last sentence in Paragraph 1 means that peoples understandi

53、ng of losing weight _. A. seems rather unreasonable B. is unnecessarily complicated C. used to be limited D. can be partly justified58. According to the findings of the Oregon Research Institute, _. A. overweight people get less pleasure from eating the same amount B. overweight people enjoy eating

54、more than the others do C. people will become overweight if they eat more than they need D. people are more likely to be overweight if they produce less leptin59. The method used by the National Institute on Aging can be summarized as “_”. A. no diet at all B. diet on a daily basis C. diet every other day D. diet permanently60. The word “grinding” in the Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _. A. effective B. realistic C. unreliable D. miserable61. It can be learned that brown fat _. A. c
