三、阅读理解（每小题 3 分，共 45 分）

Passage One

People over the age of 65 in the US are called senior citizens. Life for these people is more different than for younger Americans. Most senior citizens retire, or no longer work full time. Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren.Grandparents tend to live in their own houses or apartments away from their families.For many senior citizens, the years after 65 are not enjoyable. They feel unproductive when they no longer work. Their lives lose meaning. In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families and the contacts they had in their work. Moreover, they become more concerned with their health as they grow older. If they live in big cities, they often worry about their safety.

Other senior citizens enjoy their lives. They feel free to do things they were not

able to do when they were working and raising families. They now have time to enjoy hobbies and sports and travel. They associate with their fellow senior citizens who have common interests and equal free time. Many senior citizens move to retirement communities (老人社区)located in warm climates. Some senior citizens continue to work beyond retirement age. Many find new careers and professional opportunities after they retire.

The number of senior citizens in the US is increasing rapidly because people are living longer than before. The average life span (寿命) for Americans is now more than 74 years. Because of their larger numbers and more active life styles, senior citizens are gaining social influence in the country, both politically and economically. Their concerns are receiving a wider audience than before. The time may come when all Americans will look forward to becoming senior citizens.

Passage Two

Marriage is war. Let’s get that straight, first of all. To those currently married, this will hardly be news. The news is that the war is winning, and it doesn’t have to be hell. How can you win? You win by not winning; let’s say that, first. But maybe we should have said, first of all, by not losing. That’s what women have to learn. To keep it up, to fight again, not to be beaten, not to destroy, that’s what marriage is. Don’t expect to win – but rather make yourself magnanimous and unafraid.

The following are the ground rules for how to fight.

Fight about whatever comes along. Don’t seem to do battle over nothing. Every small fight is about some big issue. Likewise, every big fight takes its form from some unimportant matter.

Fights in front of an audience don’t count. Then you’re not fighting; you’re performing. Tell the kids to go outside or into the other room because you and Daddy want to fight now. And you’ll find that your friends and relatives are more relieved than disappointed when you stop requiring

their presence at your private quarrels.

Violence is an admission of defeat. Don’t hit him. If he hits you, walk out. He just lost.

Don’t mistake frankness for honesty. There are and ought to be some things that you cannot --- you will not --- say to each other.

On the other hand, don’t think some heated words are so serious. I think you are an arrogant, cold, selfish – well, that can go by. I’m talking about a big, serious, once-every-three-to five-years fight here, you understand. If you find yourselves talking to each other this way, you don’t like each other, which is the best of all reasons for divorce.

Don’t tolerate ( make ) threats to leave. If he tries this, point the door out to him. And if he’s done something bad enough to leave him for, don’t threaten

him with “next time”. Go.

Once you both get tired of it, let it wind down. Then go to your separate corners. Get away from each other for a while, and don’t consider that as punishment of the other person. You just had a fight; right now you hate each other. Impose an hour of silence, take a walk, and go in another room.

Remember: you are fighting because you love each other. You are mad at each other because you love each other. If you didn’t love each other, you wouldn’t have to fight. One of you could walk out. Don’t take it as evidence that he doesn’t love you. You know you still love him, though at the moment you happen to hate him. Make it up however you choose. But--- this is important – don’t make or expect apologies, unless something irremediable has been said. There is no need for them. At the next natural encounter, you should be able to start somewhere else on something new.

6. “ To those currently married, this will hardly be new. The news is that the war is winning, and it doesn’t have to be hell.” The word“hell” means ___________ .

A. a dark place

B. a dangerous case

C. an angry state

D. a state or experience of great suffering

7. In case of fighting at marriage, women should ___________ .

A. be generous

B. be fearful

C. never fight

D. hit her husband

8. The author suggests a woman should fight ___________ .

A. in front of her child

B. in front of her relatives

C. with audience

D. without audience

9. After fighting, both husband and wife should ___________ .

A. apologize to each other

B. go out for a walk together

C. stay away fro each other and calm down for a while

D. consider getting away from each other as punishment

10.Which statement is true according to the text?

A. There is no need to apologize to each other after the fight.

B. When your spouse says he/ she is going to leave you, don’t let him go. hurt your intimate relationship.

D. Screaming and yelling in the fight are nice if they make you madder.

Passage Three

One of the greatest killers in the western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed fro the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Western health-care systems are spending huge sums of money on the surgical treatment of disease.

This emphasis on treatment is clearly associated with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteenyears. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques and

procedures. Many operations that were considered impossible a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals.The result has been a rapid increase in heart surgery.

Although there is no doubt that a large number of people benefit from heart surgery, critics of our health-care systems point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and financial resources away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery--- even on patients for whom an operation is not at all necessary --- because the

equipment and surgical expertise is available. A federal government office recently said that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients benefited from the surgery.

In the recent past, medical researchers have begun to emphasize the fact that heart disease is associated with stress, smoking and a lack of exercise, and we can often reduce the risk of heart disease by paying more attention to these factors.

More and more people are realizing that there is a connection between heart

disease and the way they live. As a result of this new awareness, attitudes toward health are changing. In the past, people tended to think that it was sufficient for good health to have a good doctor who could be relied on to know exactly what to do when they became ill. Now they are realizing that merely receiving the best treatment for illness or injury is not enough. They are learning that they must take more responsibility for their own health. Today many people are changing their dietary habits and eating food with less fat and cholesterol. Many are paying more attention to reducing stress in their lives. The number of smokers in the United States is now for below the level of twenty years

ago, as many people succeed in breaking the habit and as fewer people take it up. More and more people are aware of the benefits of regular exercise like walking, running, or swimming; some have begun to walk or ride bicycles to work instead of driving. Millions have become members of

health clubs and have made health clubs one of the fastest growing businesses in the United States today. And now the beneficial effects of these changing attitudes and behaviors are beginning to appear: an encouraging decrease in deaths from heart disease.

11.What is the answer to the question “ Treat or Prevent”?

A. Emphasis on treatment.

B. More attention to prevention.

C. Both treatment and prevention are important.

D. It’s hard to say.

12.The following are the disadvantages of surgical treatment except that

______ .

A. it stops prevention

B. it raises costs of general hospital care

C. doctors are more likely to perform unnecessary surgery

D. operations often come to a failure

13.What should we not do to prevent the risk of heart disease?

A. Break the habit of smoking.

B. Eat more fat and cholesterol.

C. Do more physical exercises.

D. Reduce stress in our lives.

14.Which is an active way to prevent heart disease?

A. Going to see the doctor often.

B. Having a reliable doctor.

C. Waiting until heart disease starts.

D. Changing attitudes to health.

15.You can expect that ________ .

A. more and more people will become members of health clubs

B. surgical treatment of heart disease will be more emphasized

C. the death rate from heart disease will go up

D. the number of smokers will get larger and larger
