Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C andD、Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

  Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all work, but the biggest longevity (长寿) increase seems to come from marriage or an equal relationship.The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man's life and two to a woman's.The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.

  Even if the conditions are not good for you, marriage can more than compensate.Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart.Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn't smoke.There's a ________, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their husband's or wife's death, and caring for a husband or wife with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems.Even so, the odds favour marriage.In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.

  So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) parts.For example, social contact can increase development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life.People in supportive relationships may handle stress better.Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.

  A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says:“People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”

(1)

William Farr's study and other studies show that ________.

[  ]

A.

social life provides an effective cure for illness

B.

being sociable helps improve one's quality of life

C.

women benefit more than men from marriage

D.

marriage contributes a great deal to longevity

(2)

Linda Waite's studies support the idea that ________.

[  ]

A.

older men should quit smoking to stay healthy

B.

marriage can help make up for ill health

C.

the married are happier than the unmarried

unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life

[  ]

A.

the disadvantages of being married

B.

the emotional problems arising from marriage

C.

the responsibility of taking care of one's family

D.

the consequence of a broken marriage

(4)

What does Nicholas say about social networks ?

[  ]

A.

They don't include marriage relationships.

B.

They help develop people's community spirit.

C.

They have similar effects regardless of kind.

D.

They help relieve people of their life's burdens.

The sixth book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney will be released on November 15th, just in time for the Christmas shopping season. The book is titled Cabin Fever and will continue the funny story of middle school kid Greg Heffley.

The story begins with Greg and his friend Rowley being accused of damaging school property. It wasn't really their fault, but the authorities don't see it that way. Just when they are about to get caught, the city gets hit by a giant blizzard (暴风雪). This is a good thing, right? Well, not so fast! Greg is now stuck at home with his family and all this gives him a bad case of cabin fever.

Kinney says that the book is not only about the claustrophobia (幽闭恐怖症) of being stuck at home for days without being able to leave, but also about getting stuck with an identity. Sometimes we get stuck a certain way when we are young and it's hard to change people's feelings of us. That's some pretty deep stuff (东西), but we expect the book to mostly be full of silly and funny stuff that will make us laugh.

The first printing of Cabin Fever will print 6 million copies of the book. Many kids who don't like to read like the Wimpy Kid books because of the combination of cartoons, story, and comedy. Cabin Fever, like the other five, will have 224 pages of cartoons and funny events in the life of Greg Heffley as he sits out his holidays snowbound at home.

    They are generally recommended for kids 8 to 11 years of age, but older kids(even adults) may find them funny as they remember what it was like to be in middle school.

60.The underlined phrase "not so fast" in Paragraph 2 probably means that _____.

       A.Greg got away with breaking the rules so fast.

       B.Greg hadn't thought the weather changed suddenly.

       C.Things developed in a quite different way.

       D.Good luck the blizzard brought came slowly.

61.What can we know about Cabin Fever?

       A.It continues the story of a middle school student Rowley.

       B.It will appear on the market on Christmas Day.

       C.It is about an exciting public winter holidays.

       D.It contains a lot of pictures and funny stuff.

62.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

       A.Jeff Kinney has written six books in all.

       B.Jeff Kinney intends the book Cabin Fever for kids only.

       C.Wimpy Kid books are printed 6 million copies altogether.

       D.Cabin Fever has a lot in common with other Wimpy Kid books.

63.The purpose of writing the passage is to ______.

       A.promote sales                        B.give opinions

       C.offer information                        D.make a comment
