第一篇               U．S．Life Expectancy Hits New High

Life expectancy rates in the United States are at an all—time high，with people born in 2005 projected to live for nearly 78 years，a new federal study finds
The finding reflects a continuing trend of increasing life expectancy that began in 1 955，when the average American lived to be 69．6 years old．By 1 995，life expectancy was 75.8 years，and by 2005，it had risen to 77；9 years，according to the report released Wednesday．

“This is good news，”said report CO—author Donna Hoyert ，a health scientist at the National Center for Health Statistics．“It’S even beer news that it is a continuation 0f trends，SO it is a long period of continuing improvement.’’

     Despite the upward trend，the United States still has a lower life expectancy than some 40 other countries，according to the U．S．Census(人口普查)Bureau. The country with the longest life expectancy is Andorra at 83.5 years，followed by Japan，Macau，San Marino and Singapore．

     Much of the increase owes to declining death rates from the three leading causes of death in the country—heart disease，cancer and stroke.

     In addition，in 2005，the U．S．death rate dropped to an all—time low of less than 800deaths per 100,000.

     Dr．David Katz。director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine，said，“News that life expectancy is increasing is，of course，good．But the evidence we have suggests that there is more chronic disease than ever in the U.S．’’

    Adding years to life is a good thing，Katz said．“But adding vital life to years is at least equally important. If we care about living well，and not just longer，we still have our work cut out for us.”he said.

    Panic attacks can be dangerous—for example，if a person is driving at the time．The Chesapeake Bay Bridge in the state of Maryland is SO long and SO high over the water，it is famous for scaring motorists．There is even a driver assistance program to help people get across．Some people who suffer a panic a~ack develop a phobia(恐懼病)，a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that brought on the attack．

第三篇                     A 1-ale of Scottish Rural Life

    Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s Sunset Song(1 932)was voted“ the best Scottish novel of all time” by Scotland’S reading public in 2005．Once considered shocking for its frank description of aspects of the lives of Scotland’S poor rural farmers，it has been adapted for stage，film，TV and radio in recent decades．

The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kinraddie，in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War I．At its heart is the story of Chris，who is both part of the community and a little outside it．

   Grassic Gibbon gives US the most detailed and intimate account of the life of his heroine(女主人公)．We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard‘working father；experience tragedy(her mother’S suicide and murder of her twin children)；and learn about her feelings as she grows into a woman．We see her marry，lose her husband，then marry again．Chris has seemed SO convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man．

    But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris．It is truly a novel of a place and its people．Its opening section tells of Kinraddie‘s long history, in a language that imitates the place’S changing patterns of speech and writing．

    The story itself is amazingly full of‘characters and incidents．It is told from Chris’s point of view but also from that of the gossiping community,a community where everybody knows everybody else’S business and nothing is ever forgotten．

    Sunset Song has a social theme too。It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War I．Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war． Despite this，the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths．In particular，it takes away Chris’S husband，Ewan Tavendale ．The war finally kills Ewan，but not in the way his widow is told．In fact，the Germans aren’t responsible for his death．But his own side．He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle．

    If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead．It is a“Sunset Song”but is concerned too with the new Kinraddie，indeed of the new European world．Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story．

41. What is Sunset Song mainly about?
    A. The First World War.                   B. The beauty of the sunset.
    C. The lives of rural Scottish farmers        D. The new European world．

42. Which statement is NOT true of Chris?

  A.  She is the heroine of Sunset Song         B.  She had a miserable childhood．
  C.  She married only once．                D.  She is the creation of a man．

43. What is the opening section of the novel mainly concerned with?

  A. The history of  Kinraddie．              B. The climate of  Kinraddie.
  C .The geography of Kinraddie．             D. The language spoken in Kinraddie．

44. Who killed Chris’S husband．Ewan ?

   A. The French army．                     B.  His own troops．   
    C. The Germans．                        D. The Russian soldiers．
45. The word “Sunset” in the title of this novel most probably means
    A. the end of the heroine’s life．   B. the end of the story。
    C. the end of the day．               D. the end of the traditional way of life．
