　　A

　　Cutting global warming pollution would not only make the planet healthier, it would make people healthier too, new research suggested.

　　Cutting carbon dioxide emissions could save millions of lives, mostly by reducing preventable deaths from heart and lung diseases, according to studies released Wednesday and published in a special issue of The Lancet, a British medical journal. "Relying on fossil fuels leads to unhealthy lifestyles, increasing our chances of getting sick and in some cases takes years from our lives," US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a telecast briefing from her home state of Kansas. "As greenhouse gas emissions go down, so do deaths from cardiovascular（心血管） and respiratory（呼吸道） diseases. This is not a small effect." Instead of looking at the health ills caused by future global warming, as past studies have done, this research looks at the immediate benefits of doing something about the problem, said Linda Birnbaum, director of the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Some possible benefits seemed highly speculative, the researchers conceded, based on people driving less and walking and cycling more. Other proposals studied were more concrete and achievable, such as reducing cook stoves that burn dung（粪便）, charcoal and other polluting fuels in the developing world. And cutting carbon dioxide emissions also makes the air cleaner, reducing lung damage for millions of people, doctors said. "Here are ways you can attack major health problems at the same time as dealing with climate change," said lead author Dr. Paul Wilkinson, an environmental epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Wilkinson said the individual studies came up with numbers of premature deaths prevented or extra years of life added for certain places. For example, switching to low-polluting cars in London and Delhi, India, would save 160 lost years of life in London and nearly 1,700 in Delhi for every million residents, one study found. But if people also drove less and walked or biked more, those extra saved years would soar to more than 7,300 years in London and 12,500 years in Delhi because of less heart disease.

　　41. What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A. How can people live longer?

　　B. Cutting carbon dioxide emissions saves lives.

　　C. Global warming threatens people’s lives. D. People should stop relying on fossil fuels.

　　42. The new research differs from past studies in that _____.

　　A. it focuses on the immediate benefits of cutting carbon dioxide emissions

　　B. it studies the bad effects arising from future global warming

　　C. it is believed by more people

　　D. it mainly targets at developing countries

　　43. According to Kathleen Sebelius, _____.

　　A. sometimes it takes years to see the bad effects caused by consuming fossil fuels

　　B. without greenhouse gas emissions, people would not die of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases

　　C. the main reason why people get sick is that they rely on fossil fuels

　　D. deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are closely related to greenhouse gas emissions

　　44. Which of the following is the most practical way to cut carbon dioxide emissions according to the passage?

　　A. Driving less.

　　B. Walking and cycling as much as possible.

　　C. Stopping using fossil fuels.

　　D. Reducing the use of polluting fuels to cook.

　　45. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

　　A. London and Delhi have already benefited from reducing greenhouse gas emissions

　　B. switching to low-polluting cars would save 160 lives in London each year

　　C. walking and biking instead of driving will reduce the chance of heart disease

　　D. attacking health problems and dealing with climate change are contradictory

　　B

　　请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously（同时的）about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.

　　During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group,

　　they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.

　　Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.

　　There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked

　　to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents res the brain bias of their children. Since a girl' s brain is better organized to send and receive speech ,

　　we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.

　　56.While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because they

　　A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends

　　B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time

　　C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships

　　D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands

　　57. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to

　　.

　　A. experience the happy time again

　　B. keep a close tie with her

　　C. recommend her a new scenic spot

　　D. remind her of something forgotten

　　58. What does the author want to tell us most?

　　A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication

　　B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.

　　C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.

　　D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.

　　59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk

　　B. Talking Maintains Relationships

　　C, Women Love to Talk

　　D. Men Talk Differently from Women
