For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage One Deaths from cigarettes are likely to more than triple over the next quarter century to 20 every minute around the world, scientists warn in a new global survey. The survey covers 45 countries, 15 more than the previous study. The additional nations are from eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Sixty million deaths have been caused by smoking since the 1950s, the investigators estimate. They predict smoking will kill about 10 million people a year by 2020, the vast majority in developing countries where the habit continues to attract young women. Investigators were unable to acquire smoking statistics from every country, which would allow the most precise estimates. Instead, they compared data on lung-cancer death rates among American non-smokers to the lung-cancer death rate in each country to get an estimate of the number of smoking in a nation. The researchers said they used lung-cancer rates as the yardstick (标尺) because in developed countries, lung cancer is closely related to smoking and so seldom caused by any other factor among non-smokers. According to the report, 10 percent of middle-age British men will die from smoking by the time they are 35 to 69 years old. In Poland, 20 percent of men are doomed to die from smoking, the researchers predict.31. It can be inferred from the passage that now the deaths from cigarettes every minute are most close to _. A.6 B.7 C. 8 D. 932. According to the passage, in the previous report countries from _ are not included. A. Asia B. America C. the eastern Europe D. Africa33. One reason that more deaths from cigarettes are from developing countries is _ .A. the medical conditions there are very poor B.many women start to smoke there C.theres no control over cigarette advertising D. there are more male smokers34. Why lung-cancer is used in the research? A. Because lung-cancer among non-smokers is mainly caused by smoking. B. Because its easiest to collect information about lung-cancer. C. Because most smokers have lung-cancer. D. Because lung-cancer is the biggest killer of human beings.35. Non-smokers have lung-cancer mainly because _. A. people around them smoke B. they are infected by other patients C. they work too hard D. lung-cancer is the most widespread disease nowadaysPassage Two Women often say they feel the effects of alcohol more than men do, even if they drink the same amount relative to body size. Now theres medical evidence that women do become affected more quickly, in part because their stomachs are less able to break down alcohol. Scientists have found that, in general, about 30 percent more alcoholappears in the bloodstreams of women than of men of similar weight after up to two drinks have been consumed. And considering that men are usually bigger than women, the findings suggest that the first drink for a woman may have the same effect as the first two drinks for a man. Some of the alcohol that people drink is broken down by a stomach enzyme(酶) and never reaches the bloodstream. Since the stomach enzyme is half as active in women as in men, more of what women drink enters the bloodstream in the form of pure alcohol. It is also found that the enzyme activity is lower in alcoholics particularly women who had no noticeable protection. This may help explain why more alcoholic women suffer from liver damage than alcoholic men. 36. break down in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _. A. split into B. decompose C. share D. cut down37. Which of the following statements is true based on the passage? A. Women are affected more quickly by alcohol than men. B.

The enzyme activity is the lowest in _. A. women who do not drink B. men who do not drink C. women who often drink D. men who often drink40.Men may be in advantageous position over women in drinking because _. A. they are stronger and of bigger sizeB. their livers are more resistant to liver damage C. they have a bigger stomach D. less alcohol they drink will appear in the bloodstreamPassage ThreeExtra money does buy some happiness. But not as much as many people would think. Recently, two economists have constructed a sort of happiness index that assigns”3” to “very happy”, “2” to “pretty happy” and “1” to “not too happy”, and thus they reckon that an extra dollar provides 0.000004.9 in additional happiness. Or $10.000 would give you 0.04 units of extra happiness.The two economists, using this index, assign a dollar value to other factors that are associate with more or less happiness. They find: Second and following marriages are less happy than first marriages on average. A 16-year-old boy whose parents divorced has a lower level of well-being in adulthood.Other findings include:To bring African-Americans up to average happiness levels, they would need an extra $30.000 in annual income.This, the authors guess, may be the impact of racial prejudice. Over the past few decades, however, their happiness level has risen. “Blacks have made up some ground,” they say.Unemployment is highly damaging to mens happiness. It would take $60.000 a year to make up for being jobless.Mens happiness has trended up. Womens sense of well-being, though higher than that of men, had fallen” noticeably”.Policies aimed at ending prejudice against women in fact have not increased their happiness on the whole.The educated people tend to be happier than those who are less educated. Many people may think that this is because they have higher income that often goed with greater education. But in fact even when separated from the higher income, the educated may have a higher sense of well-being.Happiness and life satisfaction are U-shaped according to age. In the United States, peoples sense of well-being goes down to a low around 40 and then rises.Perhaps, the authors suggest, people adapt to their circumstances, give up some unfulfilled ambition by the middle of their lives, and enjoy life more.Generally the number o children and siblings a person has doesnt have an impact on both children and siblings. Some scientists found in their separate study, ” The Rising Well-Being of the Young”. 41. Extra money_.A. may buy some happinessB. can buy as much happiness as people expectC. is certain to buy some happinessD. is impossible to buy happiness42. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Generally, first marriages are the happiest ones.B. Parents divorce will also decrease the childrens happiness.C. African-Americans ten to be happier than other people.D. Being jobless will decrease mens happiness level. 43. The passage states that _. A. womens happiness level has gone down sharply B. the educated people ten to be happier than less educated people because they have higher income C. women tend to be less happy than men because there exists prejudice against women D. higher income will certainly go with greater education 44. generally, _ have the lowest sense of well-being. A. people above 40 B. people around 40 C. people under 40 D. people under 3045. A good title for this passage is “_”. A. Happiness Level B. Happiness Index C. Happiness and Life Satisfaction D.
