A
The cold and icy land that is the Eskimo's home is a dangerous one.
The Eskimo once believed that to be safe from danger he had to obey taboos(禁
忌). Taboos were rules that told him what he must do and must not do.
The Eskimo had taboos connected with almost everything he did. He had
to keep them in mind at all times. He believed that to break one would bring
disaster. For the Eskimo, it was taboo to store reindeer（驯鹿） and seal
(海豹) meat together. He could not even eat them on the same day. He believed
the Goddess Sedna had separated the land animals from the sea animals. He
thought bringing them together would cause the hunting to be bad.
There were other taboos concerning animals. When a dead seal was brought into the house, the women had to stop working. They had to give its spirit
a drink of water. If they did not, the spirit would be angered. It would
keep other animals from being caught.
When the Eskimo broken a taboo, he believed a black cloud formed around
his head. He had to tell the others in the village what he had done. He
thought that if he did not tell his neighbors, they would catch the black
cloud. Then the whole village would have bad luck.

D. the seal was dead, but its spirit was still alive

The world’s greatest basketball player walked away from the game
eighteen months ago. And now he takes to air once again.
Michael Jordan was the greatest player in the basketball game, and after
he retired at the top of his game he vowed(宣告), “I‘m never coming back
to play basketball. Not in this lifetime. Never. Unless “I change my
mind.” Sometimes in February this year, Jordan did change his mind. For
the league, the timing couldn‘t be better. Without Jordan, ratings for
the last season‘s playoff finals dropped 31 per cent. This season, things
have only gotten worse. Despite the coming out of nice new stars like
Shaquille 0‘Neal and Detroit‘s Grant Hill. The game‘s image has been
riddled (full of something bad) with the cries of spoil sports and
dissatisfaction.
For the Bull, the question is whether Jordan is in shape. According
to reports, Jordan has in recent months worked out with the same personal
trainer he used to during his basketball career. And even in his retirement,
he occasionally dropped by practice to train with the team. But that still
doesn‘t mean he‘s in game shape. In workouts（锻炼） last month,
Jordan’s shot was off, but teammate says his intensity was there. The Bulls
players all say unhesitatingly they want him back.
But to another audience, Jordan’s career and comeback mean more than
baskets and championships and market share. Now all across America, in
struggling neighborhoods his family and especially his relationship with
his father are highly thought of. Out here, to “be like Mike” can mean a lot more than knowing how to handle a basketball.
56. Which title best gives the idea of the passage?
A. Michael Jordan, A Big Star and Hero
B. Basketball in the United States
C. Jordan Is Coming Back to the Court
D. Jordan Changed His Mind
57. When did Jordan retire from the basketball court?
A. He retired eighteen months before he vowed.
B. After his father died, he was too sad to continue playing basketball.
C. After a game, he walked away.
D. When he was the most successful, he retired.
58. What is the problem for Jordan to come back to the Bulls?
A. He was not strong enough to play the game.
B. In workouts last months, Jordan’s shot was off.
C. The trainer didn’t agree to accept him.
D. The Bulls players hesitatingly want him back.
59. The underlined word “intensity” is closest in meaning
to________.
A. force to do B. increase in strength
C. strong-minded D. smart and skillful
60. We can infer from the passage that ________ .
A. children are talking about Jordan.
B. Jordan has a good relationship with his father.
C. Jordan means much more to children than playing basketball.
D. Jordan’s return made sure that the Bulls would win.
C
Healthy people with stressful jobs who work long hours but get little
satisfaction from what they do have twice the risk of dying from heart disease as satisfied employees, according to a study. Job stress has been
known to cause heart problems in people who already have cardiovascular
disease (心血管病). Finnish scientists have now shown that even in healthy
people the pressures of work can take their toll. High blood pressure, lack
of exercise, smoking and being overweight contribute to heart disease—a
leading killer in many industrialized countries.
Mika Kivimaki, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and
his colleagues, who studied the medical histories of 812 healthy Finnish
men and women in a metal industry company over 25 years, said job stress
also plays an important role.
Workers who had the highest job-related stress levels at the start of
the study were more than twice as likely to die of heart disease, according
to the study published in The British Medical Journal. Work stress involves
too much work as well as a lack of satisfaction and feeling undervalued
and unappreciated. Many people work long hours but if the effort is
rewarding the stress is minimized.
The British Heart Foundation said the results support earlier research
showing that people in jobs with low control, such as manual(体力的) workers,
could be as great risk of heart disease than other employees. “ It is
advisable for people o try to minimize levels of stress at work and for
employees to allow people to have more control at work and to be rewarded
for their successes,” the foundation said in a statement.
61. Healthy people may die from heart disease of _________________.
A. too much job stress B. working too hard
C. feeling valued D. being satisfied
62. Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?
A. High blood pressure is likely to cause heart disease.
B. Being overweight may cause heart disease.
C. Job stress is most likely to cause heart disease. D. Working long hours must cause heart disease.
63. The underlined word “minimized” in the third paragraph means
“___________”.
A. increased B. reduced C. raised D. cured
64. According to Mika Kivimaki job stress ____________.
A. is necessary if you work in a metal industry company.
B. plays an important part in the medical history
C. can also cause heart disease like smoking
D won’t bring any risk of heart disease
65. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to
_______________.
A. advise people not to work long hours
B. suggest that everyone be satisfied with everything
C. ask us to learn to enjoy ourselves
D. tell us that job stress threatens our health nowadays.
