The school was across the street from our home and I would watch the kids as they   36  during the break. She seemed so small as she,    37   her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. She stood out from them all.     ’

I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing   38   .

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression（沮喪；抑郁）as young adults.  

The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent health to investigate （調(diào)查）the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.  

As part of the survey,  the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.  

Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.  

The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio, etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.  

The study didn’t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.  

Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active to read, to attend religious services and to vote.  

61. The best title for this passage should be            .  

A. Teens, Television and Depression

B. Men Develop Depression Easier than Women

C. Media Use is Harmful to Adolescents

D. Take Great care of Teenager’s depression

62. The result of the   research seems to prove         .  

A. teenagers are more likely to develop depression than adults

B. other media uses do no harm to adolescents

C. TV probably causes teenagers to grow up with depression

D. those who watch no TV will not develop depression

63. We can learn from the survey that of all the media use            .  

A. computer games are teenagers’ favorite

B. most teenagers prefer to listen to the radio

C. teenagers enjoy watching TV very much

D. newspaper is not included in the survey

64. According to the passage, what kind of activity may help prevent depression?

A. Playing computer games.                          B. Taking part in sports.  

C. Listening to the radio.                                  D. Watching movies.  

65. We can conclude that a teenager should          .

It is hard to go after the blue whale, the ocean’s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and sightings with bare eyes are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.  

So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top-secret system of underwater detecting（探測(cè)）devices across the oceans.  

Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian（平民的）scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential（潛在的）enemies.  

Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption（爆發(fā)）for the first time and that they plan similar studies.  

Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures.  

The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second－slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope（聽診器）does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low—frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.  

66. The passage is chiefly about           .  

A. an effort to protect an endangered sea species

B. the civilian use of a military system

C. the introduction of a U. S. Navy top-secret weapon

D. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales

67. The underwater listening system was originally designed             .  

A. to detect and locate enemy boats

B. to monitor deep—sea volcanic eruptions

C. to study the movement of ocean currents

D. to replace the global radio communications network

68. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word “to track” in the second paragraph?

A. to study                B. to fight against

C. to follow                 D. to try to kill

69. It can be inferred from the passage that                 .  

A. new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales

B. blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system

C.opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology

D. military technology has great potential uses outsides. the military forces

70. Which of the following is true about the U. S. Navy underwater listening net work?

A. It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists.  

B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system·

C. It became useless to the military after the cold war.  

D. It is a must in protecting endangered species.

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties· Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.  

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（轉(zhuǎn)移注意力）us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—money aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.  

56. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can          .  

A. make people live more easily                       B. smooth away daily problems

C. deal with life changes                                   D. cure types of illnesses

57. The researches show that people’s physical and mental health             .  

A. lies in the social medical care systems which support them

B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others

C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles

D. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes

58. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions” in Paragraph 27

A. takes the place of                                      B. takes care of

C. lessens the effect of D. gets rid of

59. Helping fl sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of

A. instrumental support                                  B. informational support

C. social companionship                                   D. the strengthening of self-respect

60. What is the subject discussed in the text?

A. Interpersonal relationship.                          B. Kinds of social support.  

C. Ways to deal with stress.                              D. Effects of stressful conditions.

Prince Charles yesterday pledged（承諾）to reduce the royal impact on the environment through sweeping changes to his personal lifestyle and official schedule.  The prince will replace carbon-heavy private jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services.  

The move came as Prince Charles urged business leaders to publish the environmental pact（協(xié)定）of their activities. He said, “Few accountants and business decision-makers ask, ‘How much of our critical natural resource is left? How many miles of polar ice cap has our business helped melt this year? By how many inches have we raised sea levels? How many species have we put at risk? How many homes will be flooded ,  how many people will die of thirst or starvation because of our activities?’ These are not comfortable questions, but, by God, they need to be asked. ”

He added, “At the moment these costs do not appear in anyone’s books…Yet they are real, they are incurred now and in a relatively short time, the damage being caused may be beyond remedy. ”He said the world was “running up the biggest global credit card debt in history, but with little or no thought for how the bill will ever be paid. ’’

Flanked by the prime minister and business and community leaders at St James’s Palace, the prince said his new“accounting for sustainability” project would give consumers the power to choose products that caused less damage to the planet·

Duchy Originals, the prince’s food company, is taking steps to work out how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas are emitted in growing, processing and distributing its products. The changes to the prince’s travel arrangements announced yesterday are part of a wider review of the carbon footprint associated with activities at all three of his residences：Clarence House in London, Highgrove and Birkhall on the Balmorals estate, as well as the activities of his 21 personal and 1 0 5 full-time staff .  Measures include a review of electricity use, commuter and other staff travel and are intended to identify further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. The review will report in June, when Clarence House will announce annual targets to reduce carbon emissions.

A. Dissatisfied.           B. Disappointed.           C. Doubtful.                 D. Impatient.  

73. In response to Prince Charles’ calls, Duchy Originals will           .  

A. make as much green food as possible

B. cut down its cost

C. figure out its greenhouse gas emission

D. continue its greenhouse gas emission

74. The underlined phrase “the biggest global credit card debt” in Paragraph 3 probably refers

to  .  

A. the great amount of waste produced by industry

B. the great damage caused to the environment

C. the great amount of debts of the royal family

D. the high cost of industry in their producing process

75. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Prince Charles Pledges Greener Royal Lifestyle

B. Better Late Than Never

C. Prince Charles and His Concern For Environment

D. The Royal Family Has a Role to Play in Environment Protection
