27、terpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appe

28、ar better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles（困難). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off

29、（擋開）illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficu

30、lties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at

31、 the same time distracting （轉(zhuǎn)移.注意力）us from our worries and troubles.

36、us place, not only because of meteors（流星）but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food, which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds

37、 of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.R

38、adiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficul

39、t to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed（畸形的）children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, d

40、uring the outward and return journeys; the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the p

41、rotection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.1、 The best title for this passage would be _C_. A. Astronauts in the Outer Space B.

42、iation D. Importance Protection against Radiation2、 The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members _D_.

43、osure to radiation is slow in coming C. radiation is avoidable in space exploration D. astronauts in spacesuits neednt worry about radiation damage4、 It can be inferred from the passage that _B_.

44、s will have deformed children or grandchildren D. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers5、According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that _A_. A. it protects him against the harmful rays from space B. it provides sufficient light for plant growthC. i

45、t supplies the heat necessary for human survival D. it screens off the falling meteors47、 Passage 3When cars first started appearing on the streets of the world, few people took them seriously. They were toysplay things for grown men who didnt have much to do. No one thought that the automobile woul

46、d ever become the worlds most popular form of transportation.There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of t

47、oys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsi

48、bilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their

49、 development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic （北極的）peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surrounding

50、s. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the

51、 automobile is a direct line of ascent （進(jìn)步). The progress from a rattle （撥浪鼓）used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.

52、The author uses the example of rattle to show that _D_.A. in toy-making there is a continuity in the sue of materials B. even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technologyC. it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-makingD. even a simple toy can mirror the artistic

53、tastes of the time2、 The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that _A_. A. their social roles are rigidly determined B. most boys would like to follow their fathers professions C. boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothersD

54、. most girls would like to follow their mothers professions3、Which of the following is the authors view on the historical development of toys? ( B ) A. The craftsmanship in toy-making has remained essentially unchanged. B. Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.C. The toy in

55、dustry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years. D. Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a childs character.4、Regarded as a kind of art form, toys _C_. A. follow a direct line of ascentB. also appeal greatly to adults C. are not characterized by technological pro

56、gressD. reflect the pace of social progress5、 One aspect of “the universality of toys” lies in the fact that _D_. A. technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toysB. the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts ofuniversities C. the exploration of the u

57、niverse had led to the creation of new kinds of toys D. the basic characteristics of toys are the same the world over48、 Passage 1The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big

58、country, it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern

59、 part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Indians were the first people of the l

60、and which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the
