第1题,When you walk along a street in a big city in the United States, you may see clocks in most stores. Radio announcers give the correct time during the day. People there think that it is important to know the time. Most Americans have watches. They want to do certain things at certain times. They do not want to be late.Not all people all over the world value time. Suppose you visit a certain country in South America. You would find that people living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment with someone, he would probably be late. He would not care for arriving on time. In some countries in South America, even the radio programs may not begin right on time. Nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time. Many people regard a clock as a machine.

Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.One of history＇s bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos(汽车) were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in prison and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily the rider was not killed.
Three years later, another automobile accident took place. It was again in New York City. A man named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in prison. Poor Mr Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.  This passage is about               .

第6题,One of the world＇s most deadly health problems is spreading to new places. The problem is heart disease and it is affecting more and more people in developing countries. For years heart disease has been the number one cause of death in most industrial nations. The heart disease has claimed more life than cancer, accidents or Aids. In the past in most developing nations fewer people died from heart disease. They died instead from diseases such as lung disease. Now the World Health Organization has warned that heart disease is increasing rapidly in almost every developing nation. Why? One reason is that people in developing nations are living longer. Another reason is that many people have changed the way they live. They now eat more fat and salt and eat fewer fruits and vegetables. They drink more alcohol and they smoke more tobacco products. More people also work in offices now. They sit at the desk all day. They do not get enough physical exercise. The World Health Organization is worried about the increase in heart disease in developing countries. It has called on health experts in these countries to learn more about the problem. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?

第14题,In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and cold at other times. People in these states will have heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.                              The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists, the IQ scores of some college students were very high during a storm, but after the storm, their scores were low. Storms can increase intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can lower it. Students in many schools of the United States often do badly on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).                                                                      Weather also has a strong effect on people＇s feeling. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel depressed during cold weather. In hot summer weather, on the other hand, fat people may feel unhappy. At about 65℉, people become stronger.                                                                                        Low air pressure makes people feel free, but it also increases forgetfulness. People leave more bags and umbrellas on buses and in stores on low pressure days. There is a "perfect weather" for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 64℉ with 65 percent humidity.       Are you feeling sick, sad, tired, forgetful, or very intelligent today? The weather may be the reason.           问题：In "perfect weather" of 64℉,（                ）.
A、people are forgetful
B、people do their work badly
C、thin people feel cold
D、people are in better health
