第2题：
In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:
The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.
The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____
A、They are too slim.
B、They work too hard.
C、They are too fat.
D、 They lost too much body fat.
2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____
A、 30.
B、 50.
C、100.
D、150.
3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____
A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.
C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D、We don't know because the information is not given
4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.
A、ate more food and had more physical activities
B、ate less food but had more activities
C、 ate less food and had less physical exercise
D、had more weight problems
5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____
A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.
C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.
D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

第6题：
Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to protnote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.
In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
Within a society, social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp difference. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.
One of the factors that tend to promote social change is__________.A.joint interest
B.different points of view
C.less emotional people
D.advanced technology答案：B解析：根据第一段“The simple reasonforthisisthatthere aremore differentways oflooking atthings．．．There are more ideas．．．In addition，there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies…A儿these factors tend to promote social change”可知，有很多因素能推动社会变革．B项是其中一个因素。 -
