Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with ABCD. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

Even heard the one about the doctor who gave patient six months to live ?When the man couldn‘t pay his bill, the doctor gave him another six months.

Go ahead ,laugh . It‘s strong medicine, researchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you ,says William Fry ,Pioneer in laughter research . It‘s increases blood flow and contracts abdominal(腹部的)muscles. A

hundred loud and deep laughs is equivalent to a very active exercise of ten minutes on a rowing machine , according to Fry.

But the benefits go beyond an exercise .The most astonishing evidence of laughter‘s power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half of them watched funny shows for 30 minutes every day: the rest served as controls. After a year , ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows.

Can a good laugh help patients get well? In a landmark experiment at the University of California at Los Angeles, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures.

Justin Black, 13 years old , already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from surgery-until Bill Marx, a volunteer for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside . Marx told jokes, made faces and pranced(欣喜地跳跃)around the hospital room. ―Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,‖ says Justin. ‖When you‘re laughing, you can‘t help but feel better.‖ 16. What is this passage mainly about?

A. The benefits that laughter can bring to people. B. A landmark experiment that is called Rx Laughter.

C. How Justin Black felt when a volunteer appeared in the hospital room.

D. Why Bill Marx became a member of the experiment team to test the effect of laughter. 17. From the passage we learn that in 1997 the study of 48 heart-attack patients_. A. found most of the patients had suffered repeat heart attacks B. took the scientists about two years to draw their conclusion C. produced a newly found evidence about heart attacks D. made surprising findings about laughter‘s power

18. Why did the scientists at the University of California make the experiment? A. To help children in hospital recover from their illness

B. To look for the evidence of laughter‘s power in women patients. C. To test the effect of laughter on children who were seriously ill D. To see whether laughter could replace some active exercises.

19.The early results of the landmark experiment ,called Rx Laughter, show that the humorous videos___ A. replace medication that children take C. do no good to children‘s uncomfortable procedures B. really help children handle their pains D. have some side effect on children ?s painful procedures. 20.From what Justin said at the end of the passage we learn that he____.

A. enjoyed the time with the scientists B. soon recovered from his illness C. often made fun of Marx D. almost forget his pain Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

How well do you know your dog? The answer is ,not nearly as well as your dog knows you. Given the right motivation , humans can certainly be perceptive(有洞察力的)enough. But most dog lovers discover, sooner or later , that dogs are sensitive to the behavioral signs of their owners that humans rarely equal .And that‘s nothing .Scientists have recently discovered that dogs can distinguish, with amazing accuracy ,between breath samples from people with lung cancer and from people without .The dogs have to be trained to do it, of course .But the fact that they can do it at all is remarkable . There aren‘t enough biscuits in the world to teach a human to smell at such an extraordinary level of subtlety(细微之处).

This news will give pause to almost anyone who lives with a dog. Just what a dog ―knows‖ is hard to say ,because the human idea of ―knowing ‖ is so closely related to the ability to express what you know. Even trained cancer-sniffing dogs express their knowledge—their distinction between samples---only by sitting or not

sitting. But this is what always happens . We tend to forget the extraordinary powers of the animals we live with simply because we live with them –We tend to humanize them ,which means ,if nothing else, that we tend to reduce them-in terms of their sensory powers –to our muddling(糊涂)level. We can barely take in the fact that when a dog comes up and sniffs us ,it is really giving us a check –up.

Not that this will change the dynamic of our relations with man‘s best friend .For a while –remembering the cancer-sniffing dogs –some of us will wonder when we see our pets cock their heads ,‖ What are you looking at?‖ But time will pass ,and humans will be humans ,and we will forget that the beast we are walking with may already know things about us that we will discover only too late.

21.According to the first paragraph ,we can find that dogs_____

A. are more sensitive to human behavior than man is to theirs C. know almost everything about man B. will develop some behaviors like their owners D. are as emotional as their owners 22.One of the surprising facts about dogs is that ____

A. they do better than humans is curing cancer patients when well trained B. they are able to tell healthy people from unhealthy ones by smelling C. they eat less biscuits than man discover cancer patients D. they can smell whether their owners are happy or not

23.The passage tells us that people tend to forget the extraordinary power of the dogs because___. A. people feel so close to dogs B. people used to humanize them C. dogs are not trained enough D. dogs can not give us a check-up

24.This news will give pause to almost anyone…(para.2)probably means ―This news will ______.‖ A. stop anyone from thinking about something B. provide anyone with a chance to do something C. make anyone think carefully about something D. give anyone reasons for doing something else 25.What can we infer from this passage ?

A. A dog may find its owner‘s disease even before doctors. B. Walking a dog every day will make it more sensitive.

C. Humans may turn to a dog for a discovery about the earth. D. Humans should find more of a dog before it is too late. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Are wine study drinkers healthier than beer drinkers? If that is the case , it may have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it.

A new study found that shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low-fat cheese than beer buyers, who were more in favour of things like chips. Studies have linked a moderate amount of alcohol use with better health, and this is especially true when it comes to wine, which has components that may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular(心血管的)disease. Still, it is possible that whatever health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better dies, some studies have suggested. The problem for researchers has been getting an accurate reading on people‘s diets in general and alcohol use in particular .Those being surveyed often understate their alcohol use and overstate their consumption of healthy foods . So for this study ,the researchers tracked the sale of wine and beer over a six-month period at 98 supermarkets ,and then looked at what kinds of food the shoppers bought .One author ,Dr .Morten Gronback, said the researchers had expected to find differences in buying patterns, but not to the extent that they did.

There are other reasons wine drinkers may be healthier than beer drinkers , the researchers said. Wine tends to be drunk with food, and in smaller amounts ,they noted , possibly affecting how the body metabolizes (使新陈代谢的)it . And wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially than beer drinkers, factors that would also help account for their better health.

26. What makes a wine drinker healthier than beer drinker is mainly due to ___ A. the food they eat that goes with wine B. the amount they drink every time

C. the less alcohol contained in wine D .the low fat contained in wine

27. Researchers failed to get an accurate reading on people‘s diets in general because______

A. people tend to overstate the consumption of foods B. people tend to understate the alcohol use C. people have different buying patterns D. people have different dietary habits 28. From paragraph Two we learn that some studies found_____ A. an overall better diet could bring wine drinkers health benefits

B. people who drink beer were likely to get rid of cancer and heart diseases C. a small amount of alcohol would lead to a better health of beer drinkers

D. shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were usually better off financially 29. The phrase ―account for ‖ (Line 4 Para 4) probably means to _____ A. develop B. explain C .maintain D. enhance

30.Which of the following is not the factor contributing to better health of wine drinkers?
