In recent years,many Americans of both sexes and various ages have become interested in improving their bodies. They have become devoted to physical fitness. The need to exercise has almost become natural with many people who have a strong desire to be more physically fit.

  By nature,Americans are enthusiastic and energetic about their hobbies and pastimes. They apply their energy to running. As a result,there are running clubs to join and many books and magazines to read about running.

  The desire to be physically fit is explained by a "passion" for good health. The high rate of heart attacks in the 1960s caused an increase on the part of the public in improving the human body. Middleaged men especially suffer from heart attacks.   Thus,they are one group strongly interested in more physical exercise. In fact,many doctors encourage their patients to become more physically active,especially those who have sedentary jobs. It is interesting to note that the rate of heart attacks began to decrease in the 1970s and it is still decreasing. Physical fitness enjoys a favored role in the United States at present,it is a new "love" that many Americans have valued very much. Will it last long? Only time can tell―or until another " new passion" comes along.

5-8 ACCB

B篇：本文介紹了美國(guó)人樂(lè)于鍛煉，以此來(lái)強(qiáng)身健體、減少疾病的情況。

5. A推理判斷題。由第三段可知人們熱衷鍛煉與身體狀況密切相關(guān)。從第二段首句"By nature,Americans are enthusiastic and energet?ic about their hobbies and pastimes."可以看出答案B并不正確。答案C、D在文中沒(méi)有依據(jù)。

6. C主旨大意題。本題與前一題密切相關(guān)。考生應(yīng)當(dāng)弄清本文主要分析人們鍛煉的原因是為了身體健康，而不是為了業(yè)余愛(ài)好，故B 不正確。

A、D兩個(gè)答案因果關(guān)系顛倒，因?yàn)槿藗儫嶂藻憻挷庞泻芏嘞嚓P(guān)書(shū)籍和俱樂(lè)部的出現(xiàn)。

7. C詞義猜測(cè)題。文章的主題是鍛煉健身,特別需要鍛煉的人群自然是久坐、活動(dòng)少的那些人。

challenging intelligence意為"挑戰(zhàn)智力的"；energytaking意為"耗費(fèi)精力的"； needing much sitting意為"需要經(jīng)常坐著的"； sleepproducing意為"使人困倦的"。

8. B推論題。本文主要介紹了美國(guó)人鍛煉健身、減少疾病的情況，所以應(yīng)該是a physical health magazine中的文章。

 What is the tallest gift received by the United States? Located in New York Harbor,the 152-foot Statue of Liberty was a gift of international friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States. An inspiration to millions of immigrants,this statue is a universal symbol of freedom,democracy,and diplomacy.

  The relationship between the United States and France began during America's quest for in?dependence from Great Britain in 1776. Benjamin Franklin was among those who served on the diplomatic front during the Revolutionary War. By living in Paris as the American ambassador,Benjamin cultivated a relationship with the French government and the French people. As a re?sult,French soldiers fought alongside the American colonists. Paris was the site for peace nego?tiations between the United States and Great Britain at the end of the war.

  In 1865,Edourd de Laboulaye of France developed the idea of creating a giant statue to honor the friendship and the commitment to liberty between France and the United States. He formed the French-American Union to raise money for this project. Joseph Pulitzer used the edi?torial pages of his newspaper to raise support in the United States for the fund. French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi and structural engineer Gustave Eiffel finished the project in Paris,and the French people presented it to the people of America on July 4,1884. The statue was then shipped across the Atlantic in 214 boxes broken into 350 individual separate pieces. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28,1886,and President Grover Cleveland accepted the statue on behalf of the American people.

  Ellis Island,which was the arrival point for European immigrants,is part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Between 1892 and 1924,more than 22 million passengers saw the Statue of Liberty as they passed through Ellis Island and the Port of New York. This landmark of freedom became a National Monument in 1924 and a major tourist attraction in the 20th cen?tury.

  People often ask me why I wear a red ribbon. Some people ask the question simply to find out what the ribbon means,but other people are really asking a hidden question：they wonder what experiences in life has moved me so that I would want to wear a red ribbon,a visible reminder to all who see me of the continuing battle against HIV and AIDS. They are asking why I,a white female in the heart of the conservative South,would choose to take an often unpopular stand,instead of quietly going about my life. Unknowingly,they are asking about my husband,Bob Johnson.

  Bob Johnson made me his wife,but AIDS made me his widow. He died in my arms at 1 ：45 a.m. on Monday,May 17,1993,in the little white house we had moved into only two days earlier. In our private final hours,I sang to him,prayed over him,and recited the 23rd psalm over and over as I carefully brushed his long hair.

  "Go ahead,sweetie," I whispered as I held him, "it's okay to let go now. " As I kissed his lips for the last time and felt his life leave his body,my hand stayed on his chest,where his body heat remained the longest. Another brave warrior in the fight against AIDS had fallen.

  Now I wear the red ribbon. I am still alive,still able to carry the message about the reality and urgency of AIDS and how HIV can be prevented. I carry this message for those whose voices can no longer be heard but whose presence can still be felt. What message is that? I carry the message―to all who will hear and listen―that HIV/AIDS is,at this point,100% fatal ... but it is also 100% preventable.

  The gay community,for more than a decade,has shown us an incredible example of what unconditional love and honest,AIDS prevention education can accomplish. What about the rest of us? Where are the mainstream churches? I have been disppointed by stories of persons protesting AIDS funerals with hateful signs or quietly asking HIV-infected families to leave.

  When I wear the red ribbon,I am demonstrating my compassion and care for people living with HIV/AIDS,my determination that those who have already died from AIDS-related causes will not be forgotten,my support for the ongoing efforts of all AIDS service organizations and researchers,my desire to educate others about how to stop the spread of this plague.

  There are those who believe the red ribbon has lost its meaning,that it's only an empty symbol now. I disagree!As long as my red ribbon gives someone the opportunity to ask me a question about AIDS,or gives someone the strength to go through another day encouraged by this small sign of support and solidarity (團(tuán)結(jié)) ，then its message is very clear; The red ribbon simply means that I care.

(   ) 1. The writer chose to wear a red ribbon         .

   A. to be given more sympathy from the friends and neighbor around

   B. to fight against the discrimination in the conservative South

   C. to offer the help for those who are infected with HIV/AIDS

   D. to collect money as much as possible for the AIDS orphans

(   ) 2. According to the passage,which of the following is true?

   A. Bob passed away together with his AIDS friend in the hospital.

   B. Families and friends were terribly afraid of saying goodbye to Bob.

   C. The love and care from his wife made Bob's leaving peacefully.

   D. Bob was infected with AIDS by blood transmission and drugs.

(   ) 3. What word can be used to take the place of the "underlined" word "plague" in the passage?

   A. disaster   B. rumour   C. message   D. sadness

(   ) 4. Which will be the best title for the passage?

   A. I Wear a Red Ribbon   B. AIDS Made Me a Widow

C: AIDS Is 100% Preventable   D. It's OK to Let Go Now
