Part II Reading Comprehension (20 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth.
Subhealth, also called the third state or the gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation by the National health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealth people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-weeks.
Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression , slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements—vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化系统). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.
16. According to this passage, which of the following is right?
A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay at home and keep silent. B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.
C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries.
D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.
17 It may be easy for middle-aged people to be in a state of subhealth because . A. they have used up their energy B. they have lost their living hopes
C. they have more pressure in life and work D. they begin to get older 18. The key to preventing you from falling into a state of subhealth is that you should . A. work hard B. sleep more
C. form good living habits D. take more medicine
19 As for food, experts suggest that . A. we should never eat meat
B. we should have varieties of food C. we should eat less than usual
D. we should have meals without salt and sugar
20. The underlined word “alternate” in this passage is the closest in meaning to . A. arrange by turns B. cause to take place C. keep up D. take up
Passage Two
ALBANY, New York—After 18 years of being vetoed by Democratic governors, a death penalty law signed by George Pataki, the stated Republican governor, took effect Friday. New York is the 38th state to enact a death penalty since 1976, when the U. S. Supreme Court allowed states to resume capital punishment.
“People out there understand that this is going to save lives,” Mr. Pataki said.
