Throughout history man has had to accept the fact that all living things must die. But people now live no longer than they 41 . Yet, all living things still show the 42 of aging, which will eventually result 43 death. Aging is not a disease, but as a person passes maturity, the 44 of the body and the organs they 45 do not function as well as they did in childhood and adolescence. The body provides less strength 46 disease and is more prone to 47 ,

A number of related causes may 48 aging. Some cells of the body have a fairly long life, but they are not 49 when they die. As a person ages, 50 of brain cells and muscle cells decreases. Other body cells die and are replaced by new cells. In an aging person the 51 cells may not be so capable 52 growth as 53 of a young person.

Another 54 in aging may be changes within the cells themselves. Some of the protein chemicals in cells are 55 to change with aging and become less elastic.

Part in Reading Comprehension (2x20)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete sentences. For each of them there are 4 choices marked Bt Cf and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet,

Passage 1

Someone said to a man, “Travel and see the world.” He answered, “Why should I? People are the same everywhere. They have the same feelings. They feel love and hate, happiness and sadness, security and fear. This is why I do not want to travel. I can learn everything here.”

The man was right. He was also wrong. People are the same, but people are also different. They all have the same pattern of life 一 birth, youth, old age, death. But these stages of life have different values in different cultures. Also, while all people have the same feelings, the causes of these feelings are different. A situation that may bring happiness in one place may not bring happiness in another place.

For example, in many countries, old age is a happy time. In Korea, old people are honored and respected. When they become sixty-one years old, it is a very happy and important event. There is a big party with many guests. They receive many gifts. When people reach this time in life, the attitudes of their family and their community change toward them. Everyone looks forward to this time.

In the United States, it is quite different for old people. Most old people do not live with their children or relatives. For many North Americans, old age is not a happy time. Most North Americans want to stay young. They try to act like young people as long as possible. They even try to speak the language of the young. They do not like to grow old because they will not get honor or respect or attention. Old age can be a sad and lonely time fbr them.

61. The reason why the man did not have the intention of traveling was that _______.

A. he was too old to travel any more

B . he preferred to stay home to enjoy his leisure time

C. he thought he knew about people in other places

D. he could not understand people in other countries since he was deaf

B . People all over the world are the same, but they are also different.

C. Different values are reflected in different stages of life in different cultures.

D. The reasons for the same feelings are also the same in different cultures.

64 . In Korea, people ______.

A. value their youth most

B . are afraid of old age

C . are longing fbr old age

D. think being young is the same as being old

65.Compared with American old people, the old in Korea________ .

A.can act like the young

B.can lead an honored and respected life

C. enjoy living alone and supporting themselves

D.are not respected and do not receive due attention

Passage 2

You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.

There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a person's blood type. Everybody is bom with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.

Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.

There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European origin, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.

66. A good title for this passage is _____

A. Getting Blood and Liquid B. Special Blood Colors

C . Human Blood Types D.The Blood Bank of Hospitals

67.People with type A blood can receive the blood of a donor with type_________  .

A. AB B. B C. D.None of the above

68.The word hence in Paragraph 3 probably means

A. always B.nevertheless

C. therefore D.seldom

69. If you need a transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is _______.

A .type AB B. exactly the same type as yours

C.type A D. a mixture of salt, liquid, and type O

70. We can infer from the passage that the third most common blood type of Europeans and people of European origin is___ .

A. A B. B C. AB D. O

Passage 3

A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds of books. A recent report shows that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys prefer reading stories. Boys are showing a taste for stories with more pictures, or books about their hobbies.

These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Clearly girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research. Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories. There has also been analysis of what men actually read. Apparently, only 38 percent of men read anything, but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed stories of space or gunmen.

71. Recent research on children^ reading has shown that they______ .

A. start to read at a very early age

B . can read clearly in primary school

C.examine in detail what they read at school

D. have formed their reading tastes by the time they were seven

72. A close look at the reading habits of boys and girls has shown that______ .

A. schools give more encouragement to girls than boys

B . magazines appeal more to boys than to girls

C. picture stories appeal more to girls than to boys

D. girls are more interested in fiction than boys

73 ? Research on adult reading habits has shown that________ .

A.the majority of men do not read much

B. women do not read about their hobbies

C. 38 percent of men have difficulty in reading

D. men prefer to read about love stories

74. The purpose of this passage is to _____.

A. persuade children to start reading at an early age

B. show the different reading methods of people

Passage 4

In old Hollywood movies, “Indians” were silent and serious-faced. They had feathers in their hair and weapons in their hands, ready to fight. But the true history and culture of America's native people may surprise you. American Indians come from hundreds of different tribes, each with its own culture and language. Not all were soldiers. Many lived peacefully.

American society still includes many of these tribes and their cultures. Two million American Indians live in the U. S. today And their influence can be found all over the country.

No one knows the exact origin of the American Indians. Many believe they arrived in North America thousands of years ago. They may have come from northeast Asia, crossing the Bening Strait (白令海峽)into North America. By the time European explorers arrived, an estimated 2 to 10 million natives had lived in America.

Thousands of Europeans came to America in the 17th and 18th centuries. The American Indians saved many white newcomers' lives. They taught them how to hunt, grow food, and live in harmony with nature.

As white settlers spread across the continent, however, conflicts arose. American Indians thought of nature as something to use, enjoy and protect. Europeans saw nature as something to own and a source of things to buy and sell.

As the white population grew, the settlers began taking land from the American Indians. They forced them to give up their homes, languages and customs. The American Indians fought back. Some revenged by killing white people or burning their homes. But soon white people outnumbered the American Indians.

76. What was the Indians' image in old Hollywood movies?

A. They were talkative.

B .They lived a peaceful life.

C. They used feathers as their clothes.

D. They had weapons and were aggressive.

77. Which of the following is NOT true about the origin of the American Indians?

A. Their ancestors were from India.

B .We are still not sure about their origin.

C .Their ancestors were probably from Asia.

D.They immigrated to America thousands of years ago.

78. When the Europeans first arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries, the American Indians______ .

A.were quite hostile

B.saved some of their lives

C.helped Europeans to build homes

D.asked the Europeans to hunt and grow food for them

79.What might have caused conflicts between the American Indians and the white people?

A. They lived in different places.

B. They spoke different languages.

C. American Indians were forced to leave their lands.

D. The white people outnumbered the American Indians.

80. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. The population of the American Indians has increased.

B. The American Indians see nature as something to use and own.
