第二篇 Stress Level Tied to Education Level People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health. From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and howwell you will cope with them. The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time. "Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward tums in their health." lead researcher Dr. Joseph Grzywacz,of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. "The downward tums in health were connected with daily stressors. and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged." Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic. "If something happens every day, maybe it’s not seen as a stressor" Grzywacz says. "Maybe it is just life." stressor n.紧张刺激物 devastating adj.毁灭性的 follow-up n. (对病人的)随访 The 1,031 adults were interviewed ______.

A. on adaily basis for 8 days
B. during one of eight days
C. all by Grzywacz
D. in groups

下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题,每道题后面有4个选项。第一篇 A Thirsty World The world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This seems strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is from sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% — the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of iceberg (冰山) and glaciers (冰串). Even worse, some of it has been polluted. At the moment, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our need for water is increasing rapidly. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect onagriculture and industry. In addition to stopping wasting our precious water, one useful step we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. Today, in most large cities tanks, water is used only once and it eventually returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying (净化) plant. There it can be filtered (过滤) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again just as it were fresh from a spring. But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next To the oceans! All we’d have to do to make use of the vast amount of sea-water is — remove the salt. This salt-removing process is already in use in many parts of the wodd. Which of the following statements, according to the passage, is NOT true

A limited water supply will affect industrial production.
B. Every large city purifies and reuses its water.
C. Purified water is not exactly as fresh as spring water.
D. Oceans are the largest water source.

Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891. Although it was by no means the first popular automobile.the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market. The company’s assembly line alone threw America’s Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转). Instead of having workers put together the entire .car, Ford’s friends, who were great toohnakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford’s Highland Park plant was humming (嗡嗡作响) along in 1914, the world’s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes. The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $ 5—a day minimum wage scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average wage in the auto industry then was $ 2.34 for a 9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that, he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn’t involve all awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Journal called the plan "an economic crime", and critics everywhere laughed at Ford. But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford’s dream to make the automobile accessible (可及的) to all. The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn’t matter — except for making it possible for more people to buy Cars. Paragraph 4 ______.

A. Ford’s Opponents
B. The Assembly Line
C. Ford’s Great Dream
D. The Establishment of the Company
E. Ford’s Biggest Contribution F. Ford’s Great Talent
