　　Passage 3

　　Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

　　About 70 million Americans are trying to loss weight. That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on ideas. This means they eat less certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with especial equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?

　　Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat? Almost 30 million Americans weight at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United State is the most overweight country in the wild. “The stored fat of adult Americans weight 2.3 trillion pounds,” says University of Massachusetts anthropologist (人类学家) George Armelagos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.

　　Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one boasts to help people to get rid of fat.

　　B. there is not a sure way of losing weight as yet

　　C. surgery is the fastest way of losing weight

　　Passage 4

　　Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

　　I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader’s Digest to test our vocabulary.

　　Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out “It pays to Enrich Your Word Power” first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader’s Digest knows the power that words have to move people—to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn’t always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote form the February 1985 issue: ”Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk.”

　　Nineteen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That’s usually how it is with Reader’s Digest. Small and simple can be profound.

　　As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I’ve been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like “hope”, “guts”, “faith”, “dreams”. Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.

　　Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle—if it’s right word, in the right place, at the right time. It’s a “secret” that I hope never forget.

　　16. The passage is mainly about .

　　A. one of the many old memories

　　B. using simple words to express profound ideas

　　C. Reader’s Digest and school speeches

　　D. how to make effective speeches

　　17. It seems that Reader’s Digest is a magazine popular with .

　　A. people of all ages B. teenagers C. school teachers D. elderly readers

　　18. The example the author gives in the second paragraph might mean .

　　A. one spends his day playing and drinking

　　B. don’t waste your time as one does

　　C. time slips easily if you don’t make good use of it

　　D. time is just like drinking milk from a bowl

　　19. The author’s “secret” is .

　　A. to avoid using big words at any time

　　B. to use words that have the power to move people

　　C. to work a miracle by using a small word

　　D. to use small and simple words where possible

　　20. Accoeding to the author, well-chosen words can give people .

　　A. hope, courage and ideas

　　B. confidence, determination and strength

　　C. pleasure, knowledge and encourage

　　D. entertainment, information and power

　　Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

　　People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental”, i. e. , they occur prior to the individual’s twenty-second birthday, often form genetic conditions, and are severe enough to effect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious”, i.e. , accidental or caused by outside forces.

　　Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expert to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basic are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and again employment have historically been denied on the basic of disability.

　　In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to flight against these infringements (侵害) of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as protected class under civil rights statutes.

　　Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.

　　Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.

　　It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws are that disabled people will be fully able to take to their right place in society.

　　16. ”developmental” disability .

　　A. develops very slowly over time B. is caused forces

　　A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functions B. they were not very well looked after

　　18. In the author’s opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society, .

　　A. more laws should be passed B. public attitudes should be changed

　　C. government should provide more aids D. more public facilities should be act up

　　19. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?

　　A. Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.

　　B. The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.

　　C. The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them.

　　D. Discriminatory (有差别的) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.

　　20. The best title for this passage might be .
