2、esponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.When Mrs.Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna,Austria,people asked the obvious question.“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a surveyconducted
3、 among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100.What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places,city living provides benefits that country living may lack.One factor seems to be important to the
4、 longevity(长寿)of those interviewed.This factor is exercise.In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus.Even taking public transportation often requires some walking.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators,and so people must climb stairs.City people can usually
5、walk to local supermarkets.Since parking spacesare hard to find,there is often no choice but to walk.On the other hand,those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day.In fact,the opposite is often true.To go to school,work,or almost anywhere else,they must ride in cars.1.The

9、althful exercise Passage Two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.The Bedouin people,a tribe living in the deserts of Arabia and Northern African,think most highly of people who show loyalty.To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country,a place,or a leader.Loyalty me
10、ans being faithful to ones family and tribe.The Bedouin people are proud of their ancestors(祖先).They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family.They especially respect those who have inherited(继承)a good family name and then have passed it on
11、to their children.A mans position among his people depends upon his ancestors,relatives,and fellow tribesmen.If they are honored,he is also honored.If they are disagreed,he,too,is disgraced.Therefore,one carefully guards the honor of his family and his tribe.A man can protect his familys honors by b
12、eing brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it.He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family,but she can bring disgrace.Even if a woman only looks as if she has done something wrong,she may be killed.The hon

18、on every crime they could find.And they did.One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital.She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where madmen were kept.In 1895,Hearst came to New York from California.He wanted the Journal to be
19、 more exciting than the World.He also wanted it to be cheaper,so he lowered the price by a penny.Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper heading were bigger than any one elses.He often said,“Big print makes big news.”Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspaper.For example,

25、his MCMLXXXIV.Imagine how difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it!The Arabs,however,call their numbers“Indian numerals”.This is probably because they got the original idea a long time ago from India.There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazine then,so mathematics traveled
26、along the same routes that silk did,as businessmen sold and bought goods.The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led to advances in technology.The achievement of Arabic technology can be seen from a passage in a 10th-century book about an Arabic city:”The neighboring countr
