A
Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey. Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects). Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline (衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England. People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g. "object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated by women.
Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.
41. The underlined word in the second paragraph means_________. A. natural B. great C. obvious D. absolute42. According to the passage, which of the following can Not be typed into the same category? A. cloud B. sheep C. trees D. goose43. Which of the following statements is true according the article? A. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English. B. Women stand out at remembering people’s names. C. Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time. D. Women excel at dealing mathematic problems. 44. One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that _________. A. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline B. people surveyed are all old C. people taking part in this test came from all over the world D. women live longer than men 45. The author aims to tell us that __________. A. women’s minds perform better than men’s B. men’s minds decline more with age C. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older D. a survey on human’s mind decline was done recently

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult（成年人）population has a “weight problem.”。 To many people, the cause is clear: We eat too much. But scientific evidence(科学证明)does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically (体力地) walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover(此外) .have shown that fatter people don't eat more on average (平均) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1970 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer(苗条) people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts.
The more the men ran, the greater loss(失去)of body fat.
The more they ran, the greater their increase(增加) in food intake(吸收)。
Thus those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost greatest amount of body fat.
46. What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?
A. They are too slim. B. They work too hard.
C. They are too fat. D. They lose too much body fat.
47. Based on(基于) the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have weight problems?
A. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 150
48. Is there scientific evidence to support eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?
A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.
C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D. We don't know because the information is not given.
49. In comparison(比较)with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910____
A. ate more food and had more physical activities
B. ate less food but had more activities
C. at less food and had less physical exercises
D. had more weight problems
50. What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?
A. Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B. Fat people eat more food than slim people and are less active.
C. Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.
D. Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake

C
Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge(剧增)of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse(反面)of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to putting off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises.
The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife’s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family’s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family’s financial and emotional stability. Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union. Also, a major part of women’s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.
51. The word “portend” (Line 2, Para.1) is closest in meaning to“_____”. A. defy B. signal C. suffer from D. result from 52. It is said in the passage that when the economy slides_____. A. men would choose working women as their marriage partners B. more women would get married to seek financial security C. even working women would worry about their marriages D. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being
53. If women find fulfillment through work outside the home,_____. A. they are more likely to dominate their marriage partners B. their husbands are expected to do more housework C. their marriage ties can be strengthened D. they tend to put their career before marriage 54. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that_____. A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedom B. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbands C. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectations D. they tend to suspect their husbands? loyalty to their marriage 55. Which of the following statements can best summarize the authors view in the passage? A. The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country. B. Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle for real equality in marriage. C. In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home and remain independent D. The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.
答案与解析： 本文是一篇对比文，特点是平行论述，没有主次之分，作者不发表态度和结论，一般两种观点的开头可当做文章主旨。
51. B. 词义题。根据句意不难理解portend是预示的意思。signal也有显示的意思；defy不服从,反抗；suffer from忍受,遭受；result from由……产生。 52. D. 细节题。题干的the economy slides等于原文的economic downturns。文中提到经济低迷时期人们倾向推迟婚姻，因为双方不能承担一个家庭或者担心更窘迫的日子。D符合原文意思。 53. C. 细节题。第三段最后一句可知答案C正确。 54. A. 细节题。第三段第二句提到不能外出工作的妇女会感到被关在笼子里，相当于A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedom.她们感到被剥夺了自由。 55. D. 主旨题。用排除法解题。A因果颠倒，排除；B文章从未提及；C以偏盖全；只有D，女性的外出工作对婚姻的影响是一例与一例不一样的，才准确表达出文章的两种平行的相反观点。

Great Changes in Our School
Our school has started the project of “Good students, Good citizens ” since the beginning of this term and great changes have taken place in our school.
Before the project, students threw the rubbish here and there, leaving the classrooms in a mess. Besides, many didn’t greet teachers when meeting them, which is very impolite to teachers. And it often happened that students didn’t obey the rules and take turns when shopping and waiting for buses.
Now, these behaviors are out of our sight. Students take an active part in keeping the environment clean. “Good mornings” are often heard for teachers from the students. Jumping the queues and making noise in public are not involved with us students any more.
第二节 读写任务(共1小题，满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
As is said by officials of the Beijing Committee of Education, there will be a new regulation（法规） that put more responsibilities on schools. Schools will bear legal responsibilities(法律责任) if students suffer physical harm on campus due to neglect(疏忽) or lack of prevention measures,.
According to a regulation that the committee made recently, if schools are proven responsible for students’ physical harm, they will have to pay compensation(赔偿) up to 200,000 yuan a year for each injured student. Many schools lack effective security measures and injured students have difficulty getting financial compensation. The regulation is aimed to solve such problems.
The regulation is to be in force on Jan. 1, 2004.
With the regulation focused on prevention, the regulation put forward some suggestions that schools should follow to avoid injuries. For example, as indicated by the regulation, fire fighting equipment should be provided in line with national security requirements and priority(首要) should be given to students' personal safety during classes or extracurricular activities.
However, with the regulation in force, in order to avoid falling into trouble, some schools cancel most sport activities for fear that students might get injured when having sports. And this has caused opposition from students and parents.
The Beijing Committee of Education and Beijing Branch of Ping An Insurance Company signed an agreement, allowing the insurance company to cover (负责) schools’ responsibility. The agreement covers public kindergartens, elementary and secondary schools. So far, the insurance company has paid for over 20 cases.

参考答案:
The passage introduces a new regulation that schools will be responsible for students’ physical injure caused by schools’ neglect or lack of prevention measures. Therefore, some schools cancel sport activities for their own benefits.
Now, some schools cancel sport activities, for the simple reason that they don’t want to fall into any trouble. This is seemingly good for schools’ management and operation. But as we all know, students are at the best time of physical development. Sport activities provide them a good chance, which does good to their health. What’s more, sports give them a chance to relax from the task of study, which will in return benefit their study.
In my opinion, schools should not cancel sport activities just for their benefit. They should take students’ health problem seriously, focusing on students’ future development. Meanwhile, when schools offer sport activities, they should instruct teachers and students to be careful, take preventive measures, and don’t forget the most important thing：buy insurance for all students against accidents.
