         Baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the
    ruins(废墟) of a water system(系统) for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public
    baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.
         Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700's has also become popular in the United States.
         For many years frequent(经常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one's health. Ordinary bathing
    just to keep clean was avoided(避免), and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!
         By the 1700's doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it
    was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian
    Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.
         In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th
    centuries, many Americans were known as "The Great Unwashed!" In one American city, for example, a
    person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law!
         Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is
    important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the
    United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily
    bath essential (=necessary) to good health.
    1. A water system for baths was built by    over 3,000 years ago.
    A. the Romans  
    B. the Greeks      
    C. the Americans      
    D. the Europeans
    2. The underlined word perfume probably means     .
    A. something smelling sweet      
    B. good health
    C. something smelling strange      
    D. large wealth
    3. In the 18th century doctors believed that being clean was     .
    A. unimportant    
    B. good for health    
    C. harmful    
    D. important
    4. Which of the following gives the main idea of the passage?
    A. Everybody in America takes a daily bath.
    B. A bath a day keeps the doctor away.
    C. Taking baths has become popular in the world.

    阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在答题卡相应番号后横线处填入恰当的单词(注意:每个空格只填一个单词)
         It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists
    can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy.
    There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will
    get, so there isn't a cure for each one.
         When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose
    and cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually
    eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing
    the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very
    uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
          Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other
    countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people
    take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状)
    of colds.
          There is one interesting thing to note -some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold
    is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it
    and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine
    when you have a cold. It goes like this:
         It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days
    to get over a cold if you take medicine.

    第二部分：阅读理解(阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。)

    A

    Thousands of people in the world are a hundred years old — or more and certain parts of the world are famous for the long lives of their inhabitants: the Vilacamba Valley in Ecuador, and the home of the Hunzas in the Himalayas.

    Why do so many people live to a healthy old age in certain parts of the world? What is the secret of their long lives? Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life. People work near their homes in the clean, mountain air instead of traveling long distances to work by bus, car or train. They do not sit all day in busy offices or factories, but work hard outdoors in the fields. They take more exercise and eat less food than people in the cities of the West. For years the Hunzas of the Himalayas did not need policemen, lawyers or doctors. There was no crime, no divorce and not much illness in their society. They were a happy, peaceful people, famous all over India for their long, healthy lives.

    Do you want to live to a hundred years old? Here are some rules for success. First, choose your parents and grandparents carefully. If they lived or live to a good old age, so will you. Secondly, live in the right place. Thirdly, choose the right kind of job. Doctors, dentists and bus-drivers die young. Farmers, priests and orchestral conductors live much longer. If you are in the wrong kind of job, you can still improve your way of life.

    An old man in the Caucasus was talking about his past life. “I was young then,” he said, as he described his 87th year. His secret was: “Think young and stay young.” An old woman from Missouri, USA, gave this advice, “Drink a little whisky and some warm beer every day.” An English lady just said, “Take a cold bath every morning.” The shortest, simplest piece of advice came from Mr. Jim Chapman, aged 103. “Just keep breathing,” he told reporters.

    56. Who is most likely to live a long life?

    A. A doctor.                                              B. A bus-driver.

    C. A dentist.                                              D. An orchestral conductor.

    57. We can see from the passage that long-lived people avoid _________.

    A. working hard                                        B. drinking

    C. eating too much                                    D. taking cold baths

    58. The passage indicates that we can change our ______ to live a long life.

    A. jobs                  B. places of living         C. ways of living           D. ways of thinking

    59. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?

    A. Whose advice is the best.

    B. Who is the most long-lived person in the world.

    C. Lifestyles of long-lived people.

    D. How long-lived people think of their life.
