has a weight problem. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s,we find that people were thinner than today,yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didnt watch television. Several modern studies, moreo-ver,have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer 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 more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.21.The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that_.A.they are too slimB.they work too hardC.they are too fatD.they lose too much body fat答案：C22.According to the article,given 500 adult Americans, _ people will have a weight problem.A.30B.50C.100D.150答案：D解析：邏輯推理題。答案也在第一段第一句話：30 percent of the adult popula. tion has a“weight problem”(30%的成年人都有體重問題)。因此，如果有500人的話，那么150人就會(huì)有體重問題。D為正確答案。23.Is there any scientific evidence to support that 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 dont know because the information is not given.答案：C解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。答案在第一段第三句話：But scientific evidence does little to support this ides(但幾乎沒有任何科學(xué)依據(jù)證明這一點(diǎn))。C為正確答案。24.In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s_.A.ate more food and had more physical activitiesB.ate less food but had more activitiesC.ate less food and had less physical exerciseD.had more weight problems答案：A解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。答案在第一段：Going back to the America of the 1910s。we find that people were thinner than today，yet they ate more food.In those days people worked harder physically，walked more，used machines much less and didnt watch television(回顧十八世紀(jì)初，那時(shí)的人比現(xiàn)在的人瘦，然而卻吃得多。那時(shí)候，他們工作比現(xiàn)在辛苦，走路比現(xiàn)在多，使用機(jī)器比現(xiàn)在少，也不看電視)。因此A為正確答案。25.Modern scientific researches have reported to us that_.A.fat people eat less food and are less activeB.fat people eat more food than slim people and are more activeC.fat people eat more food than slim people but are less activeD.thin people run less,but have greater increase in food intake答案：A解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。答案在第二段和第三段：Several modern studies have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people;Slim people are more active than fat people。因此胖人吃得少，活動(dòng)少。A為正確答案。The more time scientists spend designing computers, the more they wonder at humanbrain. Tasks that puzzle the most advanced supercomputer-recognizing a face, reading a handwritten note-are child s play. Most important, unlike any ordinary computer, the brain can learn from its mistakes. Researchers have tried for years to program computers to imi-tate the brains abilities, but without success. Now a growing number of designers believe they have the answer: if a computer is to work more like a person and less like an over-grown calculator it must be built more like a brain, which distributes information across a vast interconnected web of nerve cells or neurons.Ordinary computers work by following a chainlike sequence of detailed instructions.Although very fast, their processors can perform only one task at a time. This approach works best in solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces. The pro-cessors in a neural-network computer,by contrast,form a network much like the nerve :cells in the brain. Since these artificial (人造的) neurons are interconnected, they can share infor-mation and perform tasks at the same time. This two-dimensional approach works best at rec-ognizing patterns.Instead of programming a neural-network computer to make decisions,its maker trains it to recognize patterns in any solution to a problem by repeatedly feeding examples to the machine.Neural networks come in all shapes and sizes. Until now most existed as software simu-lations (模擬品) because redesigning computer chips took a lot of time and money. By exper-imenting with different approaches through software rather than hardware, scientists have been able to avoid costly mistakes.26.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that a computer_.A.can recognize a faceB.cannot learn from its mistakesC.cannot follow detailed instructionsD.can read a handwritten note答案：B27.Which of the following is NOT true about an ordinary computer?A.It must be programmed before it works.B.It can only solve one problem at a time.C.It is good at solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces.D.It is trained to make decisions.答案：D解析：從第二段開頭這句，Ordinary computers work by following a chainlike sequence of detailed instructions(電腦的工作原理就是遵循一系列詳細(xì)的指令)，可知選項(xiàng)A是正確的表達(dá)。從第二句，Although very fast，their processors can perform only one task at a time，可知B也是正確的表達(dá)。從第三句，This approach works best in solving problems that can be broken down into simpler logical pieces(在處理能夠破解為更簡(jiǎn)單的邏輯編碼的問題時(shí)，效果最好)，可知選項(xiàng)C也是正確的表達(dá)。另外第三段第一句Instead of program-ming a neural-network computer to make decisions，its maker trains it to中的instead of就已經(jīng)表明了沒有給電腦編程去讓它做決定，所以選項(xiàng)D是錯(cuò)誤的表達(dá)。28.The main feature of a neural-network computer is that_.A.its processors act as an interconnected web of neuronsB.it is programmed to make decisionsC.its networks are of all shapes and sizesD.its neurons are artificial答案：A解析：本題問到神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)計(jì)算機(jī)的主要特點(diǎn)，從第二段這句The processors in a neuralnetwork computer，by contrast，form a network much like the nerve cells in the brain可以看出，神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)計(jì)算機(jī)的處理器能夠形成跟大腦神經(jīng)細(xì)胞很相似的網(wǎng)絡(luò)，也就是指interconnected web of neurons(互相交錯(cuò)的神經(jīng)網(wǎng))，這正是這種計(jì)算機(jī)不同于普通計(jì)算機(jī)最顯著的特點(diǎn)。A為正確選項(xiàng)。29.The expression this two-dimensional approach in the second paragraph refers to_.A.the conventional computer and the neural computerB.making decisions and recognizing patternsC.sharing information and performing tasksD.the computer and the human brain答案：C解析：語義詞義題。從這個(gè)短語前面的這句話they can share information and perform tasks at the same time可知答案為C。30.Scientists use software rather than hardware in their experiments because_.A.it can avoid redesigning computer chipsB.it can save a lot of time and moneyC.it can avoid making mistakesD.it is more like the human brain答案：B解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從最后一句By experimenting with different approaches through software rather than hardware，scientists have been able to avoid costly mistakes可以得知，用軟件能夠避免一些會(huì)導(dǎo)致重大損失的錯(cuò)誤。costly，“昂貴的，代價(jià)高的”，avoid costly mistakes也就是指能夠節(jié)約錢和時(shí)間，而不是避免所有錯(cuò)誤(故選項(xiàng)C錯(cuò)誤)，答案選B。The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things:the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving natu-rally appeared first where labor was rare. In Europe, said Thomas Jefferson, the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient; here it is to make the most of our labor,land being abundant. It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nine-teenth-century agricultural machinery first came.At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude (粗糙的) plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs. By 1860,most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1890 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would bring home none of it, claiming that the iron poi-soned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow,until in 1869,James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled steel plow.31.The word here refers to_.A.EuropeB.AmericaC.New JerseyD.Indiana答案：B32.Which of the following statement is NOT true?A.The need for labor helped the invention of machinery in America.B.The farmer rejected Charles Newbolts plow for fear of ruin of their fields.C.Both Europe and America had great need for farm machinery.D.It was in Indiana that the first chilled-steel plow was produced.答案：C解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。文章第一段中有這樣的句子：In Europe，the object is to make the most of their land，labor being sufficient，here it is to make the most of our labor，and land being abundant(在歐洲，我們的目標(biāo)是勞動(dòng)力充足，要充分利用土地，在美國(guó)是土地充足，要正確使用勞動(dòng)力)。因此，說歐洲和美國(guó)都急需農(nóng)業(yè)機(jī)械化是錯(cuò)誤的。正確答案為C。33.The passage is mainly about_.A.the agriculture revolutionB.the invention of labor-saving machineryC.the development of scientific agricultureD.the farming machinery in America答案：B解析：主旨概括題。文章第一段講到農(nóng)業(yè)機(jī)器最初產(chǎn)生的原因，第二段講到鐵犁的產(chǎn)生，所以文章的中心思想應(yīng)當(dāng)是“節(jié)省勞力機(jī)器的發(fā)明”，選B。34.At the opening of the nineteenth-century,farmers in America_.A.preferred light toolsB.were extremely self-reliantC.had many toolsD.had very few tools答案：D解析：邏輯推斷題。文章中有這樣的句子：At the opening of the century，with the exception of a crude plow，farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agri-cultural tools on their backs(在本世紀(jì)初，除了一個(gè)粗糙的耕犁之外，農(nóng)民可以把其余所有的農(nóng)具背在背上)。說明當(dāng)時(shí)的農(nóng)具很少。D為正確答案。35.It is implied but not stated in the passage that_.A.there was a shortage of workers on American farmsB.the most important of the early invention was the iron plowC.many people devoted their attention to the plowD.Charles Newbolt had made a fortune by his cast-iron plow答案：A解析：邏輯推斷題。從文章第二段的The most important of the early inven-tions was the iron plow可以看出B是明確表明了的;從這句Nevertheless，many people de-voted their attention to the plow來看，C也是原文給出了的;從這句Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in intro-ducing his invention可以得知D也是原文明確表明的;從第一段here it is to make the most of our labor，land being abundant(充分利用勞動(dòng)力，土地資源豐富)，可以推斷出勞動(dòng)力缺乏，所以A是文章暗含的內(nèi)容。Most women in Ghana-the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old-work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and moth-ers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance ,and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghanas working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grand-mothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew,older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the econ
