The findings are from an 8-year study of about 100,000 people . The people studied were between the ages of 16 and 25 when the research began .The researchers who carried out the study say they consider the people fat if they are in the top of 5% of the measurement in which weight is connected with height . For example , fat women in the study were about 160 centimeters tall and weighed about 90 kilograms . Fat men in the study were about 175 centimeters tall and weighed 100 kilograms . The researchers say that more than 1,000,000 Americans are that big . The researchers found that fat young women were more likely to lose social and economic power even if they were from wealthy families . The fat women also were 20% less likely to get married and they earned an average of about $6,700 a year less than other women . The study showed less severe effect on fat men . They earned an average of about $3,000 a year less than other men . Fat men also were 11% less likely to get married .56.

The reason why fat people suffered .B. The cause that caused people to be fat .C. The standard of fat people .D. The number of fat people .58.

I tore open the packet . My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations” . I dont remember ever smiling so wide .Then I looked at my finacial package .The cost of Dream Schools tuition（学费）, room and board was around $40,000-an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend ? What good reasons did I have to go there when other three fine colleges were offering me free tuition ? My other choices were good , solid schools even if they werent as famous as my first choice .In my mind , attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer . My parents understood how I felt . They told me that even though it would be a finacial problem , I could go wherever I would be happiest . But as I was always careful with money , I wasnt sure what to do .One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring . Considering my parents financial difficulties , I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend . At first , all I had planned to do was smile politely , eat free food , listen quietly . But I surprised myself .At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus（校园）including guest lectures and social gatherings . He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events . He continued with explanations of professors , class sizes , activities , and sporting events on campus . As he spoke , I began to realize that this school , though not as good as my first choice , might be the best one for me . It seemed small yet with many great programs . It seemed challenging yet caring .As the president ended his speech , we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs . As I waked out that door , a feeling of comfort washed over me . Looking at the campus that night , I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there .In all honesty , my university is not as well-known as my “dream” university . However , it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me .60. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter ?A. He was full of joy .B. He was lost in his dream .C. He was worried about the money .D. He was uncertain which school to go to .61. We can learn from the passage that the parents were .A. honestB. strictC. supportiveD. decisive62. In Paragraph 5 , “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by “ ”.A. would pay for transport to the schoolB. would show me around the campusC. would offer free meals at all eventsD. would charge me nothing for tuition63. What does the author mainly want to say ?A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit .B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools .C. You should try your best to attend your dream school .D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame .CIts said that today more than $400 billion a year is spent on advertising worldwide . Beyond that , the economic impact of advertising affects just about every consumer-product industry（行业）, from cars to chocolate . Advertisement media , in addition to newspapers , magazines , and broadcast madia , include direct mail , billboards , posters , the Internet , etc . No wonder , advertising is often considered one of the incentives that drive the global economy .A successful advertisement involves at least three things . The advertisements will first of all identify the target customers . That is , they need to work out who will buy the product . Then , having identified the market , they will work out the best way to appeal to the target customers . So they will take into account a number of desires or worries the target customers may have . Do they have the desire to be popular ? Are they afraid of falling ill ? Lots of questions like these might be raised . Finally , they will design the advertisement contains and what slogans they intend to make use of . They will also consider employing famous people and quoting（引用）scientific data to support the product .While in everyday life consumers have seen lots of successful examples of advertising like Kodak , Nike , Coca-Cola , and McDonalds , there are still some examples that do not reach the expected goal . One laundry detergent（洗衣粉）company had all its advertisements show dirty clothes on the left , its box of soap in the middle . Unfortunately , since Arabic speakers read Arabic from the right to the left , many potential customers , when seeing the ad , thought to themselves , “Why this soap makes clothes dirty !”Another example was related to McDonalds first arrival in Rio de Janeiro（里约热内卢）. Their advertisements suggested that people eat McDonalds hot hamburgers “at a picnic at the beach .” By doing this , they had ignored the Brazilian custom of consuming cold things , such as beer , soft drinks , ice cream , and sandwiches , at a beach picnic . Brazilians do not consider a hot hamburger proper beach food .Therefore , advertisers have to be highly culture-conscious when they want to carry out an international advertising program in a foreign country . Study the cultural background of the potential customers , or the advertising program will be ruined !64. What does the underlined phrase “take into account” possibly mean ?A. saveB. calculateC. considerD. aim65. By showing dirty clothes on the left , its box of soap in the middle , and clean clothes on the right , the detergent（使清洁的）ad actually wants to suggest that .A. this soap makes clothes cleanB. this soap makes clothes dirtyC. this soap is specially made for western peopleD. this soap is specially made for the Arabs66. The failure of McDonalds first arrival in Brazil proves that a good advertiser should be .A. responsibleB. culture-consciousC. creativeD. dilligent67. An advertiser should work out the following questions one by one : where can he find some scientific data to support the product what are the desires and worries of the target market who will buy the product what words , images or slogans will be made use of Which of the four choices show the correct order ?A. B. C. D. DThe oil resources which are left will not last very long . This means that all vehicles such as cars , trains , buses , planes and ships that need oil to work will not be able to run . So it will be necessary to develop a new system of transport which uses a fuel more than oil . Electric vehicles are one possibility . In Britain , most families have at least one car and this car is used every day . It could be that only one person in the family drives the car to work or for shopping . The number of cars on the road which are almost empty perhaps helps to explain why the oil is used up so quickly . The family car is a very useful form of transport but it is also a great waste of energy , especially if it is compared with buses or trains . Much petrol is used by a car which is traveling at 120 kilometers an hour . Clearly , it would be better if there were fewer cars on the road and more speed limits so that the oil which is left will last as long as possible .About 25% of Britains total consumption（消耗）of energy is domesticit is used only in the home . Just over 20% is used for transport . Most of the energy is used in industry . It is difficult to suggest any possible energy conservation（保护）in industry because many of the suggestions would mean that some people would lose their jobs . It is important that industry produces the same amount of products using the same amount of workers .Obviously , conservation is not going to the answer to the energy crisis . The most it can do is to give more time for a better solution to be found . The more time which is available for new sources of energy to be developed , the better it is because there is still a lot of work to be done in order to find suitable , safe methods of producing energy .68. In Britain , what reason could help to explain why oil is used up very quickly ?A. People use cars every day .B. Most families have at least one car .C. Many cars on the road are almost empty .D. Electric vehicles are used .69. Which of the following is true ?A. Compared with buses and trains , the family car is useful and can save energy .B. A car driving at the speed of 80 kilometers per hour uses half as much petrol as a car traveling at 160 kilometers per hour .C. It is possible for people to develop vehicles .D. Limitation of the number of cars on the road and their speed will help the oil last longer .70. What does the underlined word “domestic” mean in paragraph two ?A. For household use .B. On the road .C. Slow driving .D. Fast driving .71. What is better way to solve the problem of the energy crisis ?A. Governments should cut down the number of family cars on the road .B. The speed of vehicles must be limited .C. New sources of energy should be found and developed .D. Factories should cut down on production .第II卷（共25分）第四部分 写作（共两节，满分25分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Excuse me , Mrs. Jones . Would you mind do me 72. a favor ? I just going out shopping .
