20、ality of life is not an exaggeration. The World Health Organization expressed the same view in its 2002 World Health Report, emphasizing that the damage produced by lack of physical activity was equal to the strong probability of serious illness such as heart disease and even some kinds of cancer. T

21、hose who have embraced an active lifestyle for years are familiar with the sort of physical and psychological benefits that come from exercise. 32Nevertheless a lot of people would never think of physical activity as a way of feeling better, simply because they don't think they are in need of it

22、, or because they are lazy or maintain that they haven't got enough time. 33There are many positive effects that result from physical exercise and they are not only concerned with the physical aspects but also psychological and social ones. Beginning with the physical benefits, physical activity

23、 improves the life of the heart, burns off fat, lowers high blood pressure, makes tissues more resistant, and increases muscle flexibility and joint mobility. On a psychological level, physical activity helps reduce anxiety and stress by causing tension to disappear and by encouraging us to have a b

24、etter sense of ourselves through listening to our bodies during movement. 34Lastly, seeing ourselves in better health is advantageous socially. The sense of satisfaction thus obtained will result in an increase of self-respect and self-confidence in terms of our ability to interact with others. The

26、tivity is recommended for all age groups, including children. It is an important growth factor in a child's education.35And for the elderly? There is no doubt that regular physical activity allows greater efficiency in daily life as well as creating more basic independence day by day, including

31、ted States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem. The homeless population represents all of us A

32、mericans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic (種族的) groups. What they have in common is poverty. 37Currently in the U.S., thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a

33、choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you can't pay the rent with food stamps. With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative. 38Although men constitute the largest group within the homeless populat

34、ion, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the U. S. are teenagers and young children. 39People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include 39:

35、Aa lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school. 39:BThe abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor.

36、 of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent "home". Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves.39:

37、DJob loss in today's economy has also become a real factor in the loss of people's homes. 40The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce are also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income

38、 may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads.36. The writer thinks that the U.

After hitting the gr

42、ound, the sensors also known as smart dust sensors 41:Borganized themselves into a network and quickly 41:Cdetected a fleet of military vehicles on the ground. They determined the direction, speed and size of a series of military vehicles traveling along the road and later transmitted the data to a

43、computer at a nearby base camp. 42Smart dust sensors are minicomputers-as small as a grain of rice in some cases-that can monitor and evaluate their physical environment and can relay the information via wireless communication. They can monitor elements such as temperature, moisture, humidity, press

44、ure, energy use, vibration, light, motion, radiation, gas, and chemicals. These devices will soon have many applications, such as use in emergency rescue. Software has been developed to run these minicomputers. A key feature of the software is the ability of the sensors to automatically organize the

45、mselves into a communications network and talk to each other via wireless radio signals. 43If any one connection is interrupted, the sensors will self-correct and pass the information on to the next available sensor. Each sensor has a chip that does the computing work-recording things like temperatu

46、re and motion at its location. Each sensor also has a tiny radio transmitter that allows it to talk to other sensors within 100 feet or so. 44With a single network of 10 000 sensors-thought to be the biggest array (排列) of sensors currently possible-you could cover 9 square miles and get information

47、about each point along the way. The data finally works its way to a base station that can send the information to a computer or to a wireless network.The scientists who are working with this technology say 41:D 45smart dust sensors can be used to detect the location or movement of enemy troops in ar

48、eas too dangerous or remote for soldiers to operate. Scattering hundreds of self-networking sensors from a manned or unmanned plane onto the battlefield, in theory, could produce critical information and lead to strategic advantage. 41:ASensors could also be used to detect the presence of chemical w

49、eapons and could give troops the time needed to put on protective gear.41. Smart dust sensors can do all the following EXCEPTA. giving troops their protective gearB. organizing themselves into a Computer networkC. detecting the movement of military vehicles nearbyD. operating in remote and dangerous

50、 war zones42. By "physical environment" (Line 2, Paragraph 2), the writer means such elements asA. the position of military troopsB. the presence of minicomputersC. the strength of radio signalsD. the amount of water vapor in the air43. If connection between two sensors is blocked, the net

51、work will automaticallyA. replace the sensor involvedB. repair the sensor involvedC. ignore the sensor involvedD. destroy the sensor involved44. To cover an area of 3 square miles and get information about each point along the way, how many smart dust sensors are needed?A. About 3 000 sensors.B. Abo

52、ut 3 300 sensors.C. About 5 000 sensors.D. About 6 600 sensors.45. The passage implies that the smart dust sensors are most likely to be used inA. emergency rescueB. monitoring pollutionC. military operationsD. evaluating the environmentPassage Four大學(xué)生消費(fèi)超支的調(diào)查與分析 Each semester, Andrew Tom receives 47

53、a term bill outlining his expenses: tuition, dorm fee, student center fee, recreation fee, resident activity fee, health insurance. 46If only the rest of his expenses were as easy to quantify, "It's like you start out the semester with plenty of money and then $ 20 for dinner out here and $

54、100 at the department store there, it's gone," said Tom, a Northeastern University third-year student. "And there are so many things you need like toothpaste or laundry detergent (洗滌劑) that you don't think about until you get here and need it. " From the books lining their she

55、lves to the fashionable clothes filling their closets, 48college students say the expenses of a college education go well beyond tuition and a dining hall meal plan.

57、gged to a party and everyone wants to take a cab but you're cheap and want to take a bus, chances are you'll end up sharing the fee for the cab," said Tom. "I guess you could say no, but no one wants to be the only one eating in the snack bar while your friends are out to dinner.&q

58、uot; Max Cohen, a biology major at MIT, said he is accustomed to watching fellow students spend $ 40 a night to have dinner delivered or $ 50 during a night out at a bar. During the school's recent spring break, friends on trips for the week posted away messages that read like a world map-Paris, Rome, Tokyo. "Meanwhile I stay home and work," said Cohen. "I didn't realize when I came here how much money I would spend or how hard I would have to work to get by." It is a lesson some younger students learn quickly. Others, sur
