Americans spend their free time in various ways．
America is a country of sports—of hunting，fishing and swimming，and of team sports like baseball and football．Millions of Americans watch their favorite sports on television．They also like to play in community orchestras(管弦乐队)，make their own films or recordings，go camping，visit museums，attend lectures，travel，garden，read，and join in hundreds of other activities．The people also enjoy building things for their homes，sewing their own clothes，even making their own photographs．They do these things for fun as well as for economy．
But as much as Americans enjoy their free time，the country is at the same time a“self-improvement” country．More than 25 million adults continue their education，chiefly by going to school in the evening， during their own free time，at their own expense．Added to the time spent on personal activities，Americans a1．so devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities．Many hospitals，schools，libraries，museums，parks，community centers，and organizations that assist the poor depend on the many hours citizens devote to these activities，often without any Pay. Why do they do it?
There are several answers．The idea of cooperating and sharing responsibility with one another for the benefit of all is as old as the country itself．
When the country was first founded in 1776，it was necessary for the settlers to work together to live．They had crossed dangerous seas and risked all they had in their struggle for political and religious freedom．There remains among many Americans a distrust of central government．People still prefer to do things themselves within their communities，rather than give the government more control．
Sometimes people offer their time because they wish to accomplish something for which no money is paid，to do something that will be of benefit to the entire community．It is true that some people use their leisure because they are truly interested in the work；or they are learning from the experience．
No matter what the reason is，hundreds of thousands of so．called leisure hours are put into hard，unpaid work on one or another community need．
59. This passage is mainly about ________ ．
A. why America is a country of sports
B. how Americans spend their free time
C. why America is a“self-improvement”country
D. how Americans are devoted to their community activities
60．The writer mentions the foundation of the country in order to indicate ________ _．
A．the early history of America
B．the American people’s determination to live
C．the reason for Americans’ willingness to cooperate and share responsibility
D．the American people’s love for freedom
61．Which of the following best explains the meaning of the underlined word“leisure”?
A．work time B. energy C. effort D. spare time
62. What can we infer from the text?
A. The first settlers left their hometown for political and religious reasons．
B. Many Americans don′t trust the central government．
C. American people enjoy building things for their homes just for fun．
D. Americans continue their education at their own expense．
C
Worldwide，almost as many women as men die from heart disease．Yet most treatment methods have come from studies of men．Researchers are now learning more about ways that heart．disease can be different in women．
For example，they say a condition called coronary microvascular syndrome(冠脉微血管综合症)appears to be more common in women than men．
When a heart attack is suspected，doctors look for a major blockage(阻塞物)in the arteries(动脉)that supply oxygen to the heart．With coronary microvascular syndrome，fatty material spreads evenly(均匀地)in very small arteries of the heart．This buildup of plaque(血小板)along the artery wall narrows the flow of oxygen．The pain can be similar to that of blocked arteries．
But doctors often miss this condition because it does not show up in the usual tests for blockages. Women are often sent home，thinking they are OK．Yet many are at high risk for a heart attack．
In USA，researchers say as many as three million women could have coronary microvascular syndrome．The Journal of the American College of Cardiology recently published findings from a government study．
The study is called the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation(妇女缺血综合征的评价)，or WISE．Ischemic heart disease involves restricted blood flow．The study began in nineteen ninety-six and involves more than nine hundred women who suffer chest pain．
Researchers found large blockages in major arteries in about one-third of the women．The other women looked clear on an angiogram(血管造影)test for blockages．But the researchers say half of them had enough buildup in small arteries to cause a heart attack within five years．
In men and women both，the most common warning sign is chest pain．But women are more likely to experience other common signs like shortness of breath，a sick stomach and pain in the back or jaw．A cold sweat and feeling lightheaded can also mean a heart attack．
63. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. Tests of ten Miss a Hidden Heart-Attack Risk in Women
B. Researchers Find New Ways in Treating Heart Diseases
C. Researchers Find Heart Disease Treatment Methods for Women
D. Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Study
64. In order to find ways in treating heart disease ________ ．
A. the government has wasted large amount of money in the research work
B. researchers used to make studies of both men and women
C. researchers used to make studies of men
D. researchers used to make studies of women
65. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. A lot more men die as a result of heart disease than women do．
B. Women are more likely to suffer coronary microvascular syndrome than men．
C. Warning signs of heart disease are common in men and women．
D. Heart disease can’t be different in men and women．
66. Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Study was organized ________.
A. by some medical researchers
B. by the American government
C. by the American College of Cardiology
D. by the American patients suffering from heart disease
67. The most common sign in women with heart disease is ________ ___
A. shortness of breath B. a sick stomach
C. pain in the back or jaw D. pain in the chest
D
TOKYO(AP)-An express train traveling through strong winter winds derailed(出轨)in northern Japan，killing four people and injuring more than 30，officials said Monday．
Five cars of the six-car express train derailed Sunday evening，three of them toppling(倾倒)onto their sides in Yamagata prefecture(辖区)，about 1 80 miles north of Tokyo，officials said．The train was going from northern Akita to Niigata prefecture．
The injuries of the survivors did not appear to be life-threatening，Yamagata police spokesman Yoshikatsu Oe said．It was unclear how many passengers were on the train，but Oe said most of the injured were in the first two cars．
The dead included two men and two women, and rescuers planned to lift the wreckage(残骸)later in the day to see if any other passengers remained beneath，officials said．
Transport Ministry official Hiromi Mishima said it was not known what caused the derailment and officials were assessing the extent(程度)of the damage．Railway operator JR East Co．President Mutsutake Otsuka apologized for the accident at a news conference Monday morning and promised a thorough investigation(调查)．
Yamagata police official Yasuhiro Sugiu said there had been high．speed wind warnings for the area．According to a train conductor，a strong gust(阵风)hit the train just before the accident．Winds in the area were about 48 mph，Kyodo News agency reported．
Authorities said they did not know how fast the train was going．Speed was believed to be a factor in an．April 25 train wreck that killed 107 people and injured more than 500 others in Amagasaki，western Japan．That accident was Japan’s worst train wreck since 1963．

Do you know what it means when somebody tells you that he had “a catch-22 experience”?
The phrase “catch-22” comes from a book of the same title by the American writer Joseph Heller published in 1961．Catch-22 is a book of black humor．The author uses silly and even surreal(超现实的)events．It has a non-linear narrative structure(非线性的叙述结构)in which events follow the theme rather than the timing，to give us a very strange picture full of contradictions(矛盾)．
The story takes places in a bomber base in Italy during World WarⅡ．The main character, Captain Yossarian wants to leave the war．Unfortunately, every time he completes the number of tasks to be sent home，the number is raised and he is forced to continue fighting．It seems hopeless for him to go home under the very strange rule in this Air Force-catch-22：only when a soldier goes crazy can he be allowed to go home．But he has to go to the hospital to show the doctors that he is crazy．However, if he tells them he is crazy but is obvious healthy, he cannot go home．In short，catch-22 is“heads 1 win，tails I lose．If you can you can’t；and if you can’t，you can．”Whenever you try to behave correctly in a crazy world．There’s a catch(潜在的困难)．
During the Vietnam War, the phrase“catch-22”became a popular term for being caught in a no．win，circular dilemma and is now commonly used．The Oxford English Dictionary explains catch．22 as“a set of circumstances in which one requirement，etc，is dependent upon another, which is in turn dependent upon the first．”
72. Which of the following statements is right?
A. Catch-22 is one of Heller’s experiences during World War II．
B. Catch-22 is one of Yossarian’s experiences during the Vietnam War．
C. The events in catch-22 follow the theme．
D. The events in catch-22 follow the timing．
73. Why did Captain Yossarian fail to leave the war?
A. He wasn’t so anxious to leave the war．
B. He didn’t finish his tasks．
C. He was put into a catch．22 situation．
D. He wasn’t mad enough to be sent home．
74. What does the underlined sentence most probably mean?
A. Whenever and however you try, you are unable to reach the goal．
B. You can solve every problem you meet as long as you want to．
C. YOU can’t solve any problem in your life．
D. If you can’t solve all the problems．you can solve none．
75. The phrase“catch-22”came into being ________ _．
A. in World War II B. in the Vietnam War C. in the 1950s D. in the 1960s

It is 30 years since I left my home village．It must have changed a lot． Would you please write and tell me something about its changes? Remember me to your parents! Yours， Wang Guifu |

Dear Uncle,
Very glad to receive your email. x
Great changes have already taken place since you left. Our living conditions are getting better and better. Villagers have moved into big and comfortable houses, many into well-equipped blocks of flats. And almost all have been equipped with telephones. They have not only bought color TV sets, but also washing machines, fridges, and etc. Wide roads have been built to connect villages and towns . Some families have got their own tractors, trucks and even cars. Besides, children can now enjoy very good education.
Our government cares very much about the reconstruction of our countryside. We are speeding up the citifying of the villages.
I hope that you and aunt will come back and have a visit to the new village.
Best wishes,
Yours,
Xiao Dong
