28、R SHEET.Passage OneLoneliness has been linked to depression and other health problems. Now, a study says it can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25% more likely to do the same.Earlier findings showed that

29、happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also grow like infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts.The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have bee

30、n added, including measures of loneliness and depression.The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported

31、fewer close friends.For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.英语试卷一A 第 7 页 共 17 页Researchers from

32、 the University of Chicago, Harvard and the University of California, San Diego, did the study. The findings appeared last month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. The study found that having a lon

33、ely friend can add about 17 days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about 5%, or two and a half days.Lonely people become less and less trusting of others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friendsand more likely that society will reject them.John Cacioppo a

34、t the University of Chicago led the study. He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.The aim should be to aggressively create what he calls a “protective barrier” agai

39、 friends.Passage TwoCalifornia has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative. “Starting this fall with high school math and science, we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks.” That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in Jun

40、e, talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online. He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital ones can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save

41、 paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive. And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances.The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems. More than six million students attend California public schools.Earlier this year,

42、California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools. These had to meet at least 90% of the states learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them.Six of the ten were published by the CK12 Foundation, a no

43、nprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years. The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family.California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks.

44、Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves.Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition to their t

45、raditional books.英语试卷一A 第 9 页 共 17 页School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, but that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train t

50、rs in Britain are warning of an obesity time bomb, when children who are already overweight grow up. So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.The cheerful Mr Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dicke

51、ns, is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump（胖乎乎的）and happy. In 18th century paintings beauty is equated with rounded bodies and soft curves. But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.So what

52、do you do? Diet? Not according to Englands chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. He says that physical activity is the key for reducing the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart disease a

53、s smoking.So, having bought some cross trainers, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? Luckily for those who find treadmills（跑步机）tedious, the Health Development Agency believes that

54、 physical activity that fits into peoples lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms are not making the nation f

55、it, and may even cause harm.Theres new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be bad for you. Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unaccustomed exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can adversely affect normal function in unfit people. The only people who

56、should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.So, should we forget about gyms and follow some experts advice to increase exercise in our daily life? After all, getting off the bus a stop early and walking the rest of the way cant do any harm! One final th

57、ought. How come past generations lacked gym facilities but were leaner and fitter than people today?43This passage is mainly about .Ahow to keep fit and avoid fatnessBincreased risks for overweight people Cthe dangers of exercise in the gymDthe benefit of a balanced diet英语试卷一A 第 11 页 共 17 页44What do

58、es “this expanding problem” (Para. 1) refer to?AThe slow growing up of overweight children. BThe obesity time bomb warned of by doctors. CToo little exercise and too much diet.DNeglect of the health issue by the government.45Why does the author mention Mr Pickwick in Charles Dickens novel?AHe was po

59、rtrayed in an 18th century painting. BHe is the hero of a world famous novel.CHe suffered from heart disease and stroke. DHe is the image of being plump and happy.46According to Sir Liam Donaldson, what is the best way to avoid obesity?ABeing on diet.BGiving up smoking.CBeing as inactive as possible

60、.DDoing physical activities.47Which of the following is NOT recommended by the Health DevelopmentAgency?AWalking up escalators, dancing or gardening.BGoing to the gym to walk on treadmills. CTaking the stairs rather than the lift.DPlaying active games with your children.48It can be inferred from the

61、 last paragraph that .Atoo much exercise may actually be bad for health Bexperts advice cannot be always followedCpast generations longed for gym facilities we have today Dmoderate daily-life exercise can make us leaner and fitterPassage FourA metaphor is a poetic device that deals with comparison.

62、It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a metaphor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any other type of figu

63、rative language. The reason for this is that poets compose英语试卷一A 第 12 页 共 17 页their poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may or may not be our perception of love. Therefore, the poets job is to enable us to experience it, to feel it the same way as the poet does.Lets analyze this remarkably unsophisticated metaph
