Most of all they suffer from their inability to use English，their own language，easily and properly.41.The students also demanded ，besides a change of program.A、the right to choose their university B、the right to choose their professorsC、the right to choose their degreeD、the right to choose their courses42.What was the reaction of the colleges towards the studentsdemand?A、All the educators agreed with them.B、None of the educators agreed with them.

Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do，and it helpsMany researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture，such as family value，the importance of education and so on that lead to their success.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they could cause the native AmericansunhappinessMany can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants(移民)were unequally treated because of social separationIndeed，it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.45.Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because .A、they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgement in these areasB、there is a wide difference between Asian and Western culturesC、they know little about American cultures and Western culturesD、their English is not good enough46.Asian-Americans prefer something like engineering to an arts degree because_.A、people majoring in engineering are respectedB、people with an arts degree are looked down uponC、they cant find a job with an arts degreeD、they can earn more money after graduation47.While making great achievements at college，Asian-American students_.A、are afraid that their academic successes take on a strong Asian characterB、still worry about unfair treatment in societyC、generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parentsD、feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English48According to the passage，the major factors determining the success of Asian-Americans are .A、Asian culture and the American educational systemB、Asian culture and a solid base in basic mathematicsC、hard work and parental helpD、hard work and a limited knowledge of English(C)More and more scientific experiments prove that physical exercise can reduce the dangers of some illnesses in middle-aged personsExercise strengthens the heart muscle，reduces blood pressure and help to prevent muscles from changing into fatPhysical exercise is just as important for childrenExercise and food affect growing speed in young lab animalsBaby mice start running as soon as they are big enough to use an exercise wheel in their cageIf they get extra food and run a lot，they will grow as much as 1.5 times bigger than normalThe same differences in growing speed might be found between active and inactive childrenPhysical exercise helps active children grow faster than inactive childrenOne experiment shows that the brains of the mice that had enough exercise weighed about 3more than those of the mice that did not exercise The mice that exercised are much quicker to learn doing new exercise than the mice that did not exerciseThe results of the experiments suppose the theory that exercise can help babies learn to talk and walk sooner than expectedThe good effects of physical exercise are not limited to children and middle-aged peopleExercise continues to be an important part of our lives after we grow oldFor example，people over 50 years old begin to lose calcium(钙) from their bones，which get weaker and can break easilyPhysical exercise，however，helps to strengthen the bones and to prevent them from losing calciumOf course，old people can take medicines to prevent themselves from suffering from losing calciumBut the medicines they take increase the chance of developing some kind of cancer(癌)So physical exercise is a much safer treatment(治疗)49.From the passage we know that .A、mice need to eat more and exercise moreB、children need more exercise than other peopleC、old people like to take medicine to treat their illnessesD、middle-aged people are easy to get fat50.Active children than inactive childrenA、enjoy walking moreB、are cleverer and healthierC、are stronger but more foolishD、are cleverer but weaker51.Why are the bones of old people easy to break according to the passage?A、Because they are easy to become illB、Because they eat less than other peopleC、Because they have less exercise than other peopleD、there is less calcium in their bones than in those of other people52.The passage tells people that .A、only middle-aged persons can benefit from physical exerciseB、physical exercise can do good to both the middle-aged and childrenC、people of different ages can all benefit from physical exerciseD、physical exercise is the safest treatment for losing calcium(D)Many of us believe that a persons mind becomes less active as he grows olderBut this is not true，according to DrLissy FJarvik，professor of psychiatry(精神病学)at the University of California，Los Angeles，and a board member of the New Center for Aging at the Veterans HospitalShe has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years.For example，one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years oldAs DrJarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s，their minds did not generally decline(下降)as was expectedHowever，there was some decline in their psycho-motor(精神运动的)speed This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used toBut when speed was not a factor，they lost very little intellectual (智力的) ability over the years.In general，DrJarviks studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning abilityThis is true not only into the 30s and 40s，but into the 60s and 70s as wellAs for learning new things，and ability to remember，studies by DrJarvik and others show that the old are equal to the youngIt is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once wasHowever，much of what we call“loss of memory”is not that at a11In the cases where the older persons mind really seems to decline，it is not necessarilv a sign of a decay due to becoming old or“senility”Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional stateThis depression usually can be got rid of by counseling(咨询)with a psychologist，or medicine which fights depression.In American society，when an older person loses something，we tend to call him or her“senile”But notice that when a younger person loses something，he does not blame it on senility or loss of memoryHe finds some other excuse!53.A long-term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that the only factor that declined over the years was .A、mental health B、intellectual ability C、the amount of knowledge D、psycho-motor speed54、According to DrJarviks studies，middle-aged and older persons should expect to .A、reason better B、learn fewer new thingsC、remember less D、1ose little ability to remember55.The word“senility”most likely means .A、excellent health B、weakness in body and mind because of old ageC、occasional forgetfulness D、giving up ones life56.Both younger and older persons should realize that .A、a sign of a decay due to old age or“senilityis a common thingB、older persons are wiser than younger ones because of different knowledge amountC、senility or mental decay due to aging is much less common than most of us believeD、a sign of a depressed emotional state is not a reason of decay(E)So you have been called for an interview-well done?Your effort has been paid off?
