After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with ABCD. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Even heard the one about the doctor who gave patient six months to live ?When the man couldnt pay his bill, the doctor gave him another six months.Go ahead ,laugh . Its strong medicine, researchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you ,says William Fry ,Pioneer in laughter research . Its increases blood flow and contracts abdominal(腹部的)muscles. A hundred loud and deep laughs is equivalent to a very active exercise of ten minutes on a rowing machine , according to Fry.But the benefits go beyond an exercise .The most astonishing evidence of laughters power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half of them watched funny shows for 30 minutes every day: the rest served as controls. After a year , ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows. Can a good laugh help patients get well? In a landmark experiment at the University of California at Los Angeles, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures.Justin Black, 13 years old , already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from surgery-until Bill Marx, a volunteer for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside . Marx told jokes, made faces and pranced(欣喜地跳躍)around the hospital room. “Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,” says Justin. ”When youre laughing, you cant help but feel better.” 16. What is this passage mainly about?A. The benefits that laughter can bring to people.B. A landmark experiment that is called Rx Laughter.C. How Justin Black felt when a volunteer appeared in the hospital room.D. Why Bill Marx became a member of the experiment team to test the effect of laughter.17. From the passage we learn that in 1997 the study of 48 heart-attack patients_.A. found most of the patients had suffered repeat heart attacksB. took the scientists about two years to draw their conclusionC. produced a newly found evidence about heart attacksD. made surprising findings about laughters power18. Why did the scientists at the University of California make the experiment?A. To help children in hospital recover from their illnessB. To look for the evidence of laughters power in women patients.C. To test the effect of laughter on children who were seriously ill D. To see whether laughter could replace some active exercises.19.The early results of the landmark experiment ,called Rx Laughter, show that the humorous videos_A. replace medication that children take C. do no good to childrens uncomfortable proceduresB. really help children handle their pains D. have some side effect on children s painful procedures.20.From what Justin said at the end of the passage we learn that he_.A. enjoyed the time with the scientists B. soon recovered from his illnessC. often made fun of Marx D. almost forget his painQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. How well do you know your dog? The answer is ,not nearly as well as your dog knows you. Given the right motivation , humans can certainly be perceptive(有洞察力的)enough. But most dog lovers discover, sooner or later , that dogs are sensitive to the behavioral signs of their owners that humans rarely equal .And thats nothing .Scientists have recently discovered that dogs can distinguish, with amazing accuracy ,between breath samples from people with lung cancer and from people without .The dogs have to be trained to do it, of course .But the fact that they can do it at all is remarkable . There arent enough biscuits in the world to teach a human to smell at such an extraordinary level of subtlety(細微之處). This news will give pause to almost anyone who lives with a dog. Just what a dog “knows” is hard to say ,because the human idea of “knowing ” is so closely related to the ability to express what you know. Even trained cancer-sniffing dogs express their knowledgetheir distinction between samples-only by sitting or not sitting. But this is what always happens . We tend to forget the extraordinary powers of the animals we live with simply because we live with them We tend to humanize them ,which means ,if nothing else, that we tend to reduce them-in terms of their sensory powers to our muddling(糊涂)level. We can barely take in the fact that when a dog comes up and sniffs us ,it is really giving us a check up. Not that this will change the dynamic of our relations with mans best friend .For a while remembering the cancer-sniffing dogs some of us will wonder when we see our pets cock their heads ,” What are you looking at?” But time will pass ,and humans will be humans ,and we will forget that the beast we are walking with may already know things about us that we will discover only too late.21.According to the first paragraph ,we can find that dogs_A. are more sensitive to human behavior than man is to theirs C. know almost everything about man B. will develop some behaviors like their owners D. are as emotional as their owners22.One of the surprising facts about dogs is that _A. they do better than humans is curing cancer patients when well trainedB. they are able to tell healthy people from unhealthy ones by smellingC. they eat less biscuits than man discover cancer patientsD. they can smell whether their owners are happy or not23.The passage tells us that people tend to forget the extraordinary power of the dogs because_.A. people feel so close to dogs B. people used to humanize them C. dogs are not trained enough D. dogs can not give us a check-up24.This news will give pause to almost anyone(para.2)probably means “This news will _.” A. stop anyone from thinking about something B. provide anyone with a chance to do somethingC. make anyone think carefully about something D. give anyone reasons for doing something else25.What can we infer from this passage ?A. A dog may find its owners disease even before doctors.B. Walking a dog every day will make it more sensitive.C. Humans may turn to a dog for a discovery about the earth.D. Humans should find more of a dog before it is too late. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Are wine study drinkers healthier than beer drinkers? If that is the case , it may have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it. A new study found that shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low-fat cheese than beer buyers, who were more in favour of things like chips. Studies have linked a moderate amount of alcohol use with better health, and this is especially true when it comes to wine, which has components that may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular(心血管的)disease. Still, it is possible that whatever health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better dies, some studies have suggested. The problem for researchers has been getting an accurate reading on peoples diets in general and alcohol use in particular .Those being surveyed often understate their alcohol use and overstate their consumption of healthy foods . So for this study ,the researchers tracked the sale of wine and beer over a six-month period at 98 supermarkets ,and then looked at what kinds of food the shoppers bought .One author ,Dr .Morten Gronback, said the researchers had expected to find differences in buying patterns, but not to the extent that they did. There are other reasons wine drinkers may be healthier than beer drinkers , the researchers said. Wine tends to be drunk with food, and in smaller amounts ,they noted , possibly affecting how the body metabolizes (使新陳代謝的)it . And wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially than beer drinkers, factors that would also help account for their better health. 26. What makes a wine drinker healthier than beer drinker is mainly due to _A. the food they eat that goes with wine B. the amount they drink every time C. the less alcohol contained in wine D .the low fat contained in wine27. Researchers failed to get an accurate reading on peoples diets in general because_A. people tend to overstate the consumption of foods B. people tend to understate the alcohol use C. people have different buying patterns D. people have different dietary habits28. From paragraph Two we learn that some studies found_A. an overall better diet could bring wine drinkers health benefitsB. people who drink beer were likely to get rid of cancer and heart diseasesC. a small amount of alcohol would lead to a better health of beer drinkersD. shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were usually better off financially 29. The phrase “account for ” (Line 4 Para 4) probably means to _A. develop B. explain C .maintain D. enhance30.Which of the following is not the factor contributing to better health of wine drinkers?A. Various buying patterns . B .Healthy diet. C. Better education. D. Better financial background.Questions 31 to 35 based on the following passage.Travel and TourismSecretarialMicrocomputersWord ProcessingAccounting/MicrocomputersLegal AssistantMedical SecretaryLegal SecretaryTravel and Tourism CourseThe exciting field of Travel and Tourism needs more trained counselors.
