17、分40分）ASince the making in 1086 of the Domesday Survey, a detailed compilation（編纂）that enabled the earliest reas on able estimate of En gla nd populatio n to be made （the survey did not cover other areas）,the nu mber of people has been increasing. This growth has continued despite some setbacks, by f

18、ar the most serious of which was the Black Death in the mid-14th century, in which it is estimated that about one third of the population died. There is little concrete information, however, concerning variation in rates of births to deaths and of immigration to emigration until 1801,when the first

19、official census（ 人 口普查 ）was taken. The assumption is that a population of about two milli on lived in what became the Un ited Kin gdom at the end of the 11th cen tury and that this figure had in creased to about 12 millio n by 1801. This slow growth rate, i n con trast with that of more modern times

20、, resulted mainly from the fact that a high birth rate was accompanied by an almost equally high death rate . It is estimated that in the first half of the 18th century three quarters of the children born in London died before they reached adolesce nee. Despite the awful livi ng con diti ons it prod

21、uced, the In dustrial Revoluti on resulted in an acceleration of the birth rate; gradually the greater medical knowledge, improved nutrition, and concern for public health that characterized the 19th and 20th cen turies bore fruit in a lower death rate and an overall in crease in population. Since t

22、he 1930s the population has experieneed a complete cycle in its pattern of growth. A low rateof in crease duri ng the 1930s was followed by a postwar marriage boom that gave rise to an accelerati on in the rate of growth, reaching a peak during the mid-1960s. Since 1964, a considerable fall in the b

23、irth rate has brought about a dramatic decline in growth, even giving rise to an absolute decline between 1974 and 1978.36. Which of the follow ing stateme nts is true as to the Domes Day Survey?A It was made in 1086 to show the variation in population growth in England.B It was a compilation that f

24、irst gave an estimation of the population of England.C It gave an account of the Black Death in the mid-14th century.D It studied the relation of birth rate to death rate.37. In 1801, it was discovered that.A. one third of the population died in the Black DeathB. the populatio n had in creased rapid

28、dhood, taller childre n perform sig ni fica ntly better on cog nitive tests, wrote Anne Case and Christi na Paxs on of Prin ceto n University in a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.The findings were based primarily on two British studies that followed children born in 1958

29、and 1970, respectively, through adulthood and a U.S. study on height and occupati onal choice.Other studies have poin ted to low self-esteem, better health that accompa nies greater height, and social discrim in ati on as culprits（ 罪犯）for lower pay for shorter people.But researchers Case and Paxs on

30、 believe the height adva ntage in the job world is more tha n just a questi on of image.As adults, taller in dividuals are more likely to select i nto higher pay ing occupati ons that require moreadvaneed verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn handsome returns, the

31、y wrote.For both men and wome n in the Un ited States and the Un ited Kin gdom, a height adva ntage of four in ches equated with a 10 perce nt in crease in wages on average.But the researchers said the differences in performance crop up long before the tall people enter the job force. Prenatal care（

32、產(chǎn)前護理 ）and the time between birth and the age of 3 are critical periods for determining future cog nitive ability and height.Pre natal care and pren atal nu tritio n are just in credibly importa nt, even more so tha n we already kn ew, Case said in an in terview.Since the studys data only included po

33、pulations in the United Kingdom and the United States, the findings could not be applied to other regi ons, Case said.And how tall are the researchers?They are both about 5 feet 8 in ches tall, well above the average height of 5 feet 4 in ches for America n wome n.40. What can be lear nt from the st

34、udy of Anne Case and Christ ina Paxs on is that.A. the reas on for lower pay for shorter people is social discrim in ati onB. taller children perform significantly better on cognitive testC. tall people earn more tha n shorter coun terpartsD. prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are less important t

Therefore, she should be addressed 稱謂)as Mrs. Sohn.Preside nt Cli nton arrived in Korea directly after leavi ng Japa n and had not cha nged his culture gears. Hisfail

There I was walk ing home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing wi

53、th my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about givi ng up both acting and San Fran cisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked dow n empty streets un der tall buildi ngs, I felt very small and cold. I bega n running, both t

Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people un der bla nkets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see some one with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. A

55、ll I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the no ise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and uniocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn cold or tired anymore. I ran out

56、 of the door and back to where I heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk an xiously for fiftee n minu tes, my wallet was no where to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk n ext to me. When a voice called from the in side,“ Alisa Camacho? ” I thought I was dream ing.
