         In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not runor swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least iswhat people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to pleasethem, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools anduniversities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists andwriters. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to liveuntil the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies reallyweaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are asurprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One ofthem swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first“Tarzan”(泰山) in films was anOlympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does notmean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, andsport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are givenhormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the womenathletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems.Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!

        Passage Four
         Eating an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away,but itdoes reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That'saccording to a new study that investigates whether there, s any truth in theold saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis,of the University ofMichigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questionsabout diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters,consuming at least 149gof raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. Whenboth groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drugstore per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27%less likely to visit thedruggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by appleconsumption, though. " Evidence does not support that an apple a day keepsthe doctor away. However,the small number of US adults who eat an apple a daydoes appear to use fewer prescription medications," the studyconcludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be morelikely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. Whileapples do not compete with oranges, they do contain some immune (免疫的)system-increasing vitamin C,which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitaminC per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your dailyrecommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to alower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病),improvedlung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠)cancer.

        48. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?
        A 149.
        B 7,646.
        C 753.
        D 8,399.
        正确答案：B

        49. What is the conclusion of the study?
        A Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults,trips to the doctor.
        B An apple a day does keep the doctor away.
        C Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.
        D A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take lessmedicine. 
        正确答案：D

        50. What can we learn from the passage?
        A Apples are better than oranges.
        B Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.
        C Apples can help cure certain diseases.

        Passage Five
        The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorfulpieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic thingsabout organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receivea good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progressesand becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts aboutengraving, paper, and printing.
        Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nationcelebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. Butscientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps ofthe world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings andscenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps arebeautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of differenthistorical periods.
        Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before abeginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stampscome. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, andAfghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stampcollectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its naturalwonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls,Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation withinwhose borders they lie.
        If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn somebasic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collectorlearns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns toidentify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. Hefinds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, andhow to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings whichare applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same.But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell thedifference between a common issue and a rare variety.
