Questions 1-5

One of the most disturbing statistics I've read for a long time was published this week. The Work Foundation claims that job satisfaction in this country has fallen alarmingly. Women's satisfaction level has fallen from 51 percent in 1992 to 29 percent today; men's has fallen from 35 percent to 20. The reason-the long-hours culture and job insecurity.

For my father's generation, work was something that had to be endured so that real life could be maintained. But my generation has been gulled into thinking that work is real life. Most work is not satisfying. Most work stinks. Most work, however well paid, is meaningless and dull. But somehow we've been convinced that work provides self-fulfillment.

Before Mrs Thatcher, we had a famous British attitude to work--the less we did the better. Thatcher introduced the idea that, in a world where identity was so fragile, you could become real through work, through long hours and assiduous consumption, in the small amount of time you had been left after clocking off. Now Blair carries on the crusade, I've got one of the best jobs in the world--siV3ng in an once by myself all day trying to make up something that someone somewhere wit! be interested in. But I'd rather be stretched out in front of the TV, or in bed, or playing tennis, or doing just about anything else.

Much of feminist thought has been about getting what men have traditionally had without examining the underlying assumption of whether it was worth having. Feminism never ended up with a life built around creative leisure, instead, women of talent and drive threw themselves into the labour pool, believing that work and its attendant income and power would affect the change of life and consciousness that would liberate them.

Can anything be done? Only if we're willing to change the way we've been tricked into thinking. Most people now measure their lives primarily in units of currency--money saved and spent. I have a friend who'll travel halfway across London for a shoe sale, without factoring in how much of her precious time has been spent travelling. The most important truth I know is that ail we ever own is the time we were given on this earth. We need to seize it back. Now the future has arrived, and we have the means to do it--we just don't have the imagination.

1. Before the British were persuaded to realize themselves through hard work,

(A) they had little time left to themselves (B) they had struggled hard for equal treatment (C) they had enjoyed themselves more

(D) they had a strong desire to be set free from work

2. The sentence \the following statements?

(C) Blair sets a perfect example as a hard-working person for his people in the UK. (D) Blair is most unwilling to have his people labouring as slaves.

3. What is the author's attitude towards women's joining the workforce? (A) Supportive. (B) Negative. (C) Appreciative. (D) Defensive.

4. What is the purpose of the author in mentioning her friend who travelled halfway across London for a shoe sale?

(A) To praise her friend for her persistence in pursuing what she wants. (B) To introduce her friend to the general public. (C) To give an urgent call for people to take life easy. (D) To raise people's awareness as to how precious time is.

5. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage?

(A) What's So Good about Hard Work? (B) What'd You Imagine for the Future? (C) Work Makes Everyone Free, (D)Seize Time Back for Your Own Sake.

Questions 6-10

\delight in Buckingham Palace\said Queen Victoria, when she moved in three weeks after ascending to the throne. Today the 40-acre secluded garden contains specimen shrubs trees and a large lake. Eight to nine thousand people visit it during the annual garden parties.

It took George IV, on becoming King in 1820, and John Nash, Surveyor-general to George IV when he was Prince Regent, many years to turn the house into a sumptuous palace. Nash demolished the North and South wings and rebuilt them. He constructed Marble Arch as a grand entrance to the enlarged courtyard. As work continued, Nash let his costs run away with him. and Parliament complained. Joseph Hume, ml English politician and reformer fighting for financial retrenchment, said, \Crown of England does not require such splendour. Foreign countries might indulge in frippery, but England ought to pride herself on her plainness and simplicity.\Nevertheless, elegance reigned.

Queen Victoria was crowned in 1837. When she moved in, Buckingham Palace became, for the first time, the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns. There wasn't a room large enough for grand entertainments, so in 1853-55, Queen Victoria ordered the Ballroom built. 122 feet long, 60 feet wide and 45 feet high, it is, today, used for many events such as the State Banquet, the Diplomatic Reception, and memorial concerts. This is the site of Investitures, where the Queen (who was crowned in 1952) presents the recipients of British honours with their awards. During World War 11 a chapel, converted by Queen Victoria from Nash's conservatory, was bombed. Prince Philip oversaw its rebuilding as the Queen's Gallery, home to a rotating collection of art from the Royal Collection. The Gallery, currently in the process of renovation, will reopen in 2002 for the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

More than 600 rooms, including 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms comprise the castle's assets. But the \best known around the world is the

Balcony where the Royal family' gathers on celebratory' and solemn occasions to be seen by' their subjects.

The Palace is more than a home for the Royals. It is the official administrative headquarters of the monarchy and contains the offices of their staff. It is the place where all Royal ceremonies and official banquets are held. Government ministers, top civil servants and heads of state visit to carry out their duties. It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'working from home'.

6. What was the result of Joseph Hume's fighting for financial retrenchment? (A) He succeeded in cutting the budget of Nash's rebuilding work.

(B) His opposition turned out a failure and the palace was built with extravagance. (C) He became Nash's strong opponent and they fought with each other since then. (D) He came to fame as a well-known reformer for financial retrenchment.

7. According to the passage, which of the following are NOT supposed to be held in the Ballroom? (A) Investitures.

(B) Government banquets. (C) Religious services. (D) Diplomatic receptions.

8. According to \(A) It has to be 25 years under the reign of the Queen.

(B) 45 years should be the minimum for the Queen's Golden Jubilee. (C) At her age of 50, people usually celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee. (D)The Queen's Golden Jubilee would be celebrated at her 50 year's reign.

9. Why does Buckingham Palace bring a new meaning to the phrase \(A) Because Government offices are located in Buckingham Palace. (B) Because the Royal family live and work in Buckingham Palace.

(C) Because all Royal ceremonies and official banquets are held in Buckingham Palace.

(D) Because the Royal staff have their offices and residences in Buckingham Palace.

10. According to the passage, which is the most famous place in Buckingham Palace? (A) The Ballroom. (B) The Queen's Gallery. (C) Marble Arch. (D) The Balcony,

Questions 11-15

The Lake District in north-west England is an area remarkably little affected by industrialization. The principal activity is still sheep-farming, as it has been for a thousand years, and many ancient words like ‘fell' for ‘hill' and ‘tam' for ‘lake' are still in daily use. In spite of its heavy rainfall and relative inaccessibility, its special atmosphere and spectacular natural beauty combine to make this one of England's favourite holiday areas at all seasons of the year. But at Christmas 1968, still gripped by the fear that foot-and-mouth disease could spread to the hill flocks and sweep like wildfire right up to the Scottish border, it was quieter than ever before in this century. Luckily not a single farm had caught tile infection, the nearest case having been an isolated one at Kendal several weeks before. but every Lakeland farmer knows that one case among the unfenced hill flocks on the fells could lead to complete annihilation of hundreds of thousands of sheep and the virtual end of the district's principal industry; you cannot replace sheep, acclimatized to their own part of the fell for generations, in the same way that you can replace cattle in a field.

Nobody could remember a Christmas like it, especially Boxing Dab, which is traditionally one of the big outdoor holidays of the Lakeland year. Normally this is a day spent following the mountain packs of hounds, felt-walking and, if the weather is propitious, skiing and skating, but this time there were none of these things. Visitors were actively discouraged, and those who did come were asked not to go on the fells, footpaths or bridleways or near farmland, while motorists were requested not to drive on minor roads and to shun the smaller valleys. The enterprising hotels which had earlier in the year decided to keep open during the winter were by the end of October having a desperate time. Hundreds of bookings had been cancelled and scores of dinner parties and young farmers' reunions eliminated. All youth hostels were closed. At least one climbing club,

unable to climb, substituted a training programme of films and simulated climbs on the more substantial municipal buildings.

The weather in the area was dry, crisp, windless and cold, in fact ideal for brisk outdoor activities. But nobody was able to enjoy it. Everything was stopped: hunting, walking, climbing, skiing, motor cycle trials, sporting events of every description. All the seasonal dances, festivals, conferences, shepherds' meets and a hundred and one other social occasions abandoned. The ice was bearing on some of the lakes but you could not go skating there. Meanwhile the foxes, emboldened by an unprecedented freedom from harassment, were stalking closer to the farms and the flocks of Christmas turkeys, while the hounds sulked miserably in their kennels.

Farmers are apt to criticize some sections of the outdoor fraternity for their occasional thoughtless behaviour, but the way that walkers, climbers, skiers, fishermen, hunters and the rest went out of their way to help them at this time should never be forgotten. The general public, locals and visitors a like., tried to give the fell farmers a sporting chance, and this remarkable display of public spirit was the one bright note in a very sad time.

11. The word \(A) its special atmosphere (B) the Industrial Revolution (C) the spectacular natural beauty (D) the Lake District

12. The district's principal industry is_______. (A) fell-walking (B) snow-skiing (C) sheep-farming (D) animal-hunting

13. Because the sheep in the hills are unfenced toot-and-mouth disease might _______. (A) spread beyond the lakes (B) annihilate thousands of horses

(C) lead to the virtual end of the tourist industry (D) destroy the flocks of sheep completely

14. Why were some hotels described as \(A) Because hundreds of bookings had been cancelled. (B) Because they decided to keep open during the winter.

(C) Because they still held dinner parties and young farmers reunions.

(D) Because they substituted a training programme of films and simulated climbs.

15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true during Christmas time in 1968?

(A) The seasonal dances, festivals and other social occasions were abandoned. (B) The weather in the Lake District was ideal for brisk outdoor activities. (C) The foxes were stalking closer to the farms and the flocks of turkeys. (D) The ice was bearing on some of the lakes in the district.

Questions 16-20

Why Men Explode

Although women get angry just as often as men, rage remains the prototypical male emotion. \kids still talk about my 'freak-outs,'\who once erupted into volcanic fur5; in a restaurant when served a still-frozen entre2e. \express much of anything, but once in a while, I'd just blow.\

Why do so many men lose their tempers? \much frustration when you cut off something that is you. Yet that's what men do, because they're afraid that if you give emotions an inch, they'll take a mile,\of Your Own Worst Enemy. \figure, a small incomplete version of yourself. It's only a matter of time until the house of cards that you are falls apart.\

For Kim Garretson, that day came four years ago when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. As

after weaning, is less than 15 per cent. An argument against this percentage of protein is that in human milk only 13 per cent of the solid material is protein. That protein is, however, of better quality than any protein likely to be given to infants that are not weaned on cow's milk. Furthermore, milk, like other products of evolution, is a compromise. Mothers are not expendable. A species would not long survive if mothers depleted their own proteins so much in the course of feeding the first child that the prospects of later children were seriously jeopardized. Human milk is no doubt a good food, but the assumption that it is necessarily ideal is stretching belief in the beneficence and perfection of Nature too far.

26. When considering nutritional statements, apart from statements that depend on observation, we should also consider_______. (A) the strange low-protein diet (B) the unusual character of the observer

(C) the unexpected meals provided by the observer (D) the ample rations of the 1914-18 war

27. \(A) the scientific credential (B) the experimental conclusion (C) the expert knowledge (D) the sense of well-being

28. What consideration is borne in mind when giving young animals protein? (A) The more, the better. (B) The less, the worse.

(C) The minimum input, the maximum output. (D) The maximum input, the minimum output.

29. According to the passage, the maximum growth rate many not be desirable in children, for rapid growth is associated with_______.

(A) life expectancy (B) practical needs (C) scientific credentials (D) commercial interest

30. According to the author, which of the following statements is NOT true? (A) Children do not grow as fast as the young animals.

(B) The best diets seem to contain between 15 and 25 per cent protein.

(C) A species would long survive if mothers were exhausted of their own proteins. (D) Human milk is definitely a good natural food.

SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET

As a scourge of the modern society, obesity has become the world's biggest public-health issue today--the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war. Since the World Health Organization labeled obesity an \fearful consequences have come thick and Fast.

Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century's dining to excess. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds. That's why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.

Part B: Listening Comprehension

1. Statements 1.

【原文】Up to now, none of the candidates who applied for the position has the required credentials. We'd better let our ad in the Help-Wanted Section run for more weeks.

【预测】划出每个选项的关键词：A)not one qualified; B)nobody applied; C)only one applied; D)interviewed nine,显然话题是应聘、面试。B)、C)项矛盾，可能有一个成立。A)中的qualified应该是关注的重点，此选项的内容在深度上高于其他3个注重数字的选项。

【解析】答案为A)。听力的重点在前半句：none of the candidates who applied说明B)、C)错。D)中的nine是对none的混淆，也不对。none...has required credentials与A)中的not qualified相符合。

【注释】credentials：证件，关于某人可以相信、信任或具有权力的证件或证明书。Help-Wanted Section：（报纸上的）求助、招聘版。run an ad：做广告。 2.

【原文】Originally Florence was only asked to make some introductory remarks, but she ended up

giving a speech herself when the speaker came down with the flu.

【预测】划出每个选项的关键词，判断话题显然是speech，并涉及到introduce remarks（介绍辞），选项中有一个混淆点：是Florence还是speaker作了演讲？听时特别注意判断这个问题。

【解析】答案为B)。前半句讲的是originally（原本的）情况：Florence致介绍辞，后半句的but转折必然是重点：end up giving a speech（最终作了演讲），原因是speaker came down with flu（得了流感病倒了）。句子提供的信息与B)相符。

【注释】end up doing sth：以（没有预期到的结果）告终。come down with (disease)：病倒了。 3.

【原文】You know what? I've got to finish that evaluation report for the board meeting next week. A 10-page report within the week! There goes my social life this weekend.

【预测】读题划关键词，每个选项均有一个不同的动宾词组：finish report; hate to join social activities; work extra time; not attend board meeting。听力时判断整句的主题最为重要。

【解析】答案为C)。此题的干扰项中出现原句中的不少关键词汇，但正确的选项却是根据说话者的语气推理出来的：前两句说到report的长度和时限，后半句说道：周末的社交生活又泡汤了！由此可推出work extra time这个信息，故选C)。

【注释】There goes...：losing sth/opportunity/money as a result of sth that has just happened。例如：There go our chances of winning the championship!赢得冠军的机会又泡汤了！ 4.

【原文】The director is kind of busy now and has no time to read over your proposal. How about dropping in tomorrow morning to see if I have something definite?

【预测】四个选项中出现的关键词频率最高的是：director, proposal，四个选项似乎牵涉到三个主题，听时注意主语和动词的判断，以确定主题。

【解析】答案为A)。答案根据前半句判断，它所表达的意思即：主管太忙了没时间读一遍你的计划，read over和A)中的attend to（关注）信息相符。后半句给出一个建议：明天再来看看有什么确切的消息（something definite）。显然讲话者是主管的助手或秘书。此题的干扰项B)中的错误在于help you read一词，不合逻辑。

【注释】proposal：提议，建议。kind of busy：有点忙，口语中常用到kind of, 表示有一点。 5.

【原文】We don't have enough information for our financial plan, but it is due tomorrow. So I'm afraid we'll just have to make do with what we have got..

【预测】读题划关键词，发现B)、C)、D)均牵涉到时间状语的辨析，而A)中的ask for more time 也与时间有关，听时关注原句中的时间信息。

【解析】答案为D)。原句中与时间相关的信息：it is due tomorrow，并且整句并未提到要求延期的信息，later than expected及ask for more time均可排除。所以选D)。

【注释】have do with sth：将就着用，凑和着用。例：I haven't got any cream, so we will have to make do with milk. 6.

【原文】Americans use a variety of strategies to avoid silence. They keep on talking, especially

during business negotiations. Because they think that silence makes a bad impression.

【预测】划出每个选项的关键词，A)核心词：talk too much，bad impression；B)核心词：silence, uncomfortable；C)核心词：keep silent, employ strategy；D)核心词：aggressive。四个选项均与Americans在business negotiation方面的行为/态度相关。

【解析】答案为B)。前半句清楚地指出：Americans avoid silence，选项A)、C)可以排除。后半句的keep on talking和silence makes a bad impression均进一步指出美国人在谈生意时的态度，但没有达到D)中aggressive（好争吵的、有决心成功的）那样的程度。故选A)。

【注释】a variety of strategies：各种策略。employ：动词，正式用法，使用。例：He employs a special teaching method in the classroom. 7.

【原文】We have enjoyed a relationship with China for more than half a century. But I do not believe there has ever been a more exciting time to do business here.

【预测】四个选项的信息量很大，快速浏览，发现A)、C)、D)三个选项中均有表达转折的词：though；despite, 而B)则是虚拟语气：could have done more business, 所以在听原句时关注语气：是虚拟还是转折？判断语气后，若能排除虚拟，再根据A)、C)、D)中的关键词：best time; unable to start business; need to find a better time来确定答案。

【解析】答案为A)。这题较难，是一道推理题。听到But时，确定转折语气，按听力的原则，but带出的句子往往是考点所在：我觉得之前在这里没有更好的做生意的时机。暗示的意思就是：现在是最佳时机。

Questions 11-14 【原文】

M: By the way, Christina, when is Nancy going to leave for New York?

W: She is already gone. She left last Friday.

M: The office won't seem the same without her. But we certainly gave her a great farewell party.

W: Yes, but was it really a surprise?

Questions 15-18 【原文】

American businessmen frequently use social situations to make business deals. One of the best examples of this practice is the business lunch. Therefore, knowing how to conduct yourself at business lunch is often just as important as the business discussion.

For formal business lunches, it is wise to phone at least 1 day ahead to reserve a table. After you have been seated and given a menu, your waiter will come and ask if you would like to order anything to drink. Nowadays, it is quite acceptable to order a mineral water, a soda, or fruit juice, apart from wine or a mixed drink. After he has taken your beverage order, your waiter will leave you to make your food selection from the menu you have been given. It is the host's responsibility to discover whether or not his guests have any special dietary restrictions. If, however, a host does not do that, a guest should not announce his dietary practices to everyone at the table. Instead, he should discreetly ask the waiter about the ingredients of any dish in question. He should also have in mind a second dish he might order, just in case. Usually, the host will allow his guests to order first. Occasionally, a host may collect orders ahead of time and place them himself.

Napkins should be placed on your lap, and used periodically to wipe the corners of your mouth, especially when you are eating soup, salad with dressing, or an entrée in a sauce. When you finish the meal, the napkin is then placed on the table beside the plate.

【大意】商业午餐是美国商人用来谈生意的重要手段之一。本文介绍了美国商业午餐的习俗，比如该如何点饮料，如何点主菜，作为主人和客人分别应怎样做才算礼貌。文末还具体的讲述了餐巾的使用方法。 【解析】

答案为D)。细节题。出处为After you have been seated and given a menu, your waiter will come and ask if you would like to order anything to drink。

17. What should you do if you've got any dietary restrictions?

答案为A)。细节题。对于下述这句话It is the host's responsibility to discover whether or not his guests have any special dietary restrictions（饮食禁忌）. If, however, a host does not do that, a guest should not announce his dietary practices to everyone at the table. Instead, he should discreetly（慎重地） ask the waiter about the ingredients（成分） of any dish in question. He should also have in mind a second dish he might order, just in case正确理解，可以排除错误选项。

18. According to the talk, where should you put the napkin when you finish the meal?

答案为D)。细节题。文章的最后一句话When you finish the meal, the napkin is then placed on the table beside the plate正是答案所在。

Questions 19-22 【原文】

M: Good evening, Madam. What can I do for you?

W: The name is McDonald. We've booked two double rooms for a week.

M: Let me see. I'm afraid there's been a mistake, Madam. Look, you've booked for next week.

W: Oh, lord. I shouldn't have let my mom do the booking for us. Haven't you any room free at all?

M: At this time of the year? In August, Madam? I'm terribly sorry, but the whole town's booked out. I'm afraid you won't find a room anywhere.

W: Not even a bed and breakfast place?

M: You might possibly find a farm if you went inland.

W: We want to be by the sea because of the children. They especially like to build sand castles.

M: Then I don't know what to suggest. There's a caravan park two miles along the coast. But I'm sure it's full. Or there's a Butlan's holiday camp.

W: No, thank you. We want some peace and quiet. Is there anywhere we can get a meal? We want to have our supper.

M: At this hour, it's already night o'clock. You could try the next town. The restaurants will be closed, but there are one or two snack bars.

Questions 23-26 【原文】

Have you ever heard of bungee jumping? It is a rather thrilling and breath-taking sport of leaping from a high place with a rubber band tied around some part of one's body. The places you jump from can be a bridge, crane, tower, or even a cliff.

As we already know, the modern day bungee was started in England by Oxford Dangerous Sports Club. It was later commercialized most successfully in New Zealand, although the name of the sport was changed into \other European countries, as well as in the United States and Japan, in particular, among young people who are looking for thrill and excitement.

There are several ways to jump. The most common ways to attach yourself to the rubber band are by using a body harness, or a leg harness, that is, to tie the rubber band to your body, or to tie the rubber band to your legs only. If you're jumping with just a body harness, you are afforded quite a bit of freedom to move around. Your arms and legs are free to move around. The rubber band will be attached to a point close to your belly. As you jump, you can do many flips on the way down. If you're jumping with a leg harness, either one of your legs or both of your legs, will be tied to the rubber band. The leg harness can really give you the feeling of flying. And it is especially favored for watcher touchdowns, and swallow dives. You take a light slip away from the platform of a high place. Your arms stretched out wide, and soar like a bird down towards the earth.

One more thing, if you intend to try bungee jumping, most countries require that you be over the age of 18, and join a bungee jumping club, or be properly and duly instructed for the sport.

【大意】本文讲述了蹦极这一极限运动的形式、起源、方式和参加条件。蹦极者用橡皮筋绑住身体的一部分从高处往下跳。这一活动起源于牛津极限运动俱乐部，然后在新西兰得到成功的商业化发展。蹦极的方法主要有两种：用橡皮筋绑住身体或绑住腿。前者的绑法令你在跳的时候手脚自由，而后者能带给你飞翔的感觉。参加的要求是年龄在18岁以上，参加相关的俱乐部或受过正规的指导。

Questions 27-30 【原文】

M: Patricia, You are now a third year college student at the end of your second term. What are you doing recently?

W: I'm doing comparative literature. At the moment, I'm comparing English, French and Russian novels. We write papers on our work. And then about 10 of us meet with our professor and read

them and discuss them.

M: Is this what you call the seminar system in the universities?

W: Yes. And it works, because we get on well with the professors and lecturers. Some of them are much older than us. And they don't mind at all if we disagree with them.

M: You are lucky. When I was a college student, we had classes. But we hardly ever ask questions or discussed anything. It was partly our fault. We were a dull lot, but so were the professors. They didn't seem to be able to do anything but lecture. Besides, the course itself was so out of date, so were the textbooks. I think students ought to have a say in planning and changing their programs of study.

W: Things have changed a lot since then. Many universities nowadays are experimenting with new ideas and new subjects.

M: I can remember worrying about examinations all day long, especially during this time of the year. At that time, everything depended on how well a student does in his finals at the end of his academic year. The uncertainties were surely a great strain on us.

W: Well. We don't. find so great a strain now. We have final exams though. But we also get marks for the work we do during our three years at university. These marks will count with degree. Then we will play an important part in deciding whether we get first, second or third class honors.

M: I said you are lucky. You surely are.

Part C: Listening and Translation

1. Sentence Translation

(1) If the price of fuel continues to be increasing as the result of global oil shortage, countries all over the world, including the oil-producing ones, will suffer.

【关键词汇】global oil shortage（全球石油危机）。oil-producing（产油的）。

【辨音难点】注意price of fuel中的fuel一词发音不要与few混淆。

【解 析】难点：背景知识。这句句子除了上面提到的一个发音难点之外，并无生词，如果考生对于石油危机的背景知识比较熟悉，这个话题应该比较容易把握，因为其中的因果关系是我们耳熟能详的，只需稍加理解，便不难写出整句。

常见的问题是对于including the oil-producing ones这个词组反应较慢。

【参考译文】如果能源价格由于全球石油短缺而不断攀升，世界各国，包括产油国，都会

遭受损失。

(2) Physical fitness is the result of many factors, good medical care, proper nutrition, adequate rest and relaxation, and sensible personal habits, plus one very essential factor, regular physical exercise.

【关键词汇】physical fitness（身体健康）。proper nutrition（适当的营养）。adequate rest（足够的休息）。sensible（明智的）。

【辨音难点】句子开头的fitness一词读音较为模糊。

【解 析】难点：修饰词的堆砌。本段是典型的对数条列举进行笔记，注意在笔记时不妨抛开good, proper, adequate, sensible等修饰词，重点记录medical care, nutrition, rest, personal habits等实词，在写下译文的过程中合理补足就可以了。

【参考译文】身体健康由很多因素决定，包括医疗条件良好，营养适当，休息放松充足，个人习惯合理等，加上非常重要的一条，定期进行锻炼。
