A new study shows that fat people in the United States suffer direct economic(经济的) and social effects because of their size. The findings are from an 8-year study of about 100,000 people. The people studied were between the ages of 16 and 24 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 were also 11% less likely to get married.

B  One of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age has been that it will bring us some way nearer to“equality of opportunity”.  Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy families reach university or do well in other ways.   Unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence(智力) of all male 18-to-20-year-olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.  It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half of the bright pupils from working class families left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the ***es, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16. It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs—which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social backgrounds. Their parents often need extra money another money-earner would bring in; they don’t value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It’s up to you.” 25. It is hoped that the raising of the school leaving age will give all children ______.   A. a more enjoyable time at school  B. the same chances in society   C. the right to a better school D. higher scores in intelligence tests 26. Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because ______. A. many of the clever ones leave school early B. fewer go to university than ever before C. more than half leave school when they are 16 D. fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16 27. Many children leave school early because ______. A. their social backgrounds make them unhappy   B. they have to do something to increase their families’ income C. their school life is dull and unhappy   D. their parents don’t allow them to make their own decisions 28. This article shows that equal opportunity in education ______.   A. is a thing of the past   B. has not yet been achieved C. is there for those who deserve it  D. has greatly improved our society C Brief News Report Castle Fire  Winton Castle was damaged in a fire last night. The fire, which was discovered at about 9 o’clock, spread very quickly. Nobody was injured but two people had been rescued from the upstairs room. A number of paintings are believed to have been destroyed. It isn’t known how the fire started.

It shows Guevara (1928-1967), a Cuban revolution (1953-1959) pioneer and trusted friend of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, as a young man. The movie is a description of the hardships that help form the future rebel (反叛). Or, you can simply see it as a road picture: a story of two bright, energetic young men who make their way by motorcycle and on foot across South America. Salles’ film is based on two sources: Guevara’s diaries about the trip and a description written by his traveling companion, Alberto Granado. Granado lives in Cuba and appears briefly at the end of the film. “The Motorcycle Diaries” opens in 1952 as the two friends leave Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Guevara’s loving family, aboard an old motorcycle. “This is not a story of heroic feats(功绩),” Guevara explains, “but of lives that ran along with each other for a time”. Guevara has chosen to leave one semester before completing medical school. Granado, 29, is a biochemist. They want to see something of the world. But the trip affects both of them in unexpected ways and changes their lives forever. On the road, Guevara sees miners who worked in dangerous conditions for little pay. There are also the misadventures (不幸遭遇) of the two guys on the road. These include motorcycle accidents, scenes of girl-chasing, and inventive ways to get food, drink and places to sleep.  The portrait of Guevara is admiring and respectable, especially in the scenes among the hopelessly diseased people. He is shown to be a natural leader who determined to use his life “to make a difference” in a world where he sees injustice everywhere. 33. The two young men made their way across South America to ______.   A. enjoy the beautiful scenery B. cure the diseases of poor people   C. find a suitable way to rebuild Cuba D. know the world well 34. The film “The Motorcycle Diaries” ______. A. is about Cuban revolution B. arouses the interests of American audience C. describes Guevara’s way of success   D. is connected with why Guevara took up revolution 35. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ______.   A. people in those days lived a hard life B. what happened to the two travellers on the road C. how Guevara felt at the sight of the scene   D. the world is unsafe 36. The author thinks Guevara ______. A. has the gift of a leader B. is respected among the poor on their way   C. should have given the hopelessly diseased people more help D. is handsome

E  How much babies weigh at birth is an important factor (因素) in their later development and even influences (影响) how well they do in exams later in life, British researchers said recently. Small babies begin life at a disadvantage (劣势) because medical studies have shown that their tiny size increases their risk of developing many diseases such as heart disease as they grow older. Researchers at the University of Liverpool in England have also shown that teenagers who were much smaller do not score as high on national educational tests as those who had been bigger at birth. “The very low birth-weight children don’t perform as well in exams as their matched comparison group,” said Professor Peter Pharoah. When he and his colleagues (同事) compared the exam results of 167 matched pairs of children, they found that students who had weighed less than 1,500 grams at birth scored, on average, half a grade lower on each subject than pupils who had been bigger babies. The researchers ruled out education and social factors because the children were in the same school and came from similar backgrounds. Low birth-weight seemed to be the major factor. “We don’t know to what degree this difference in performance is because they haven’t grown well or because they were born before the usual time of birth,” said Pharoah in his findings. The researchers have been studying the children since they were born. They tested them at eight years old and found the low birth-weight youngsters had lower IQs and did not perform as well in reading and motor skills as the other children. “There is something happening in these low birth-weight children, possibly before birth or shortly afterwards”, said Pharoah. “Most of these children are alive with improved care but we need to think of what else we need to do to give them the best start in life,” he added. 37. What is mainly discussed in the text?   A. How much babies weigh at birth influences their later lives.   B. Children born with low-weight should be given the best start. C. Small babies begin life at a disadvantage. D. The differences between low birth-weight babies and the average ones. 38. Which of the following best explains the meaning of the underlined phrase “ruledout” as it is used in the text?   A. To work out. B. To make something happen. C. To decide something is impossible.   D. To consider of. 39. All the following statements best support the author’s idea EXCEPT ______.   A. Most of the low birth-weight children need special care   B. Small babies risk more health problems than grown-ups   C. The low birth-weight children often don’t perform well in exams D. The low birth-weight youngsters had lower IQs and did worse in reading and motor skills than the other children 40. Students who had weighed less at birth ______. A. scored half a grade on each subject B. didn’t come from similar backgrounds C. did not score as high on national educational tests as those who had been bigger babies   D. couldn’t score more because of educational and social factors 第三部分:短文改错 (共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) Dear Tom, I’m writing to tell you about the great changes have taken place 41. ________ in our English classes when modern teaching techniques started 42. ________ to be used.
