Choose the best answer and mark

17、your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage One An unidentified wit once said, “laugh, and the world laughs with you. Snore, and you sleep alone.” Yet snoring is far from a laughing matter, as those unfortunates with good hearing, who are rightly subjected to the sounds of the snoring disorder, will tes

18、tify. It has been estimated that one of eight Americans snores; this means that there are approximately 21 million peoplewomen as well as menwho render an unpleasant sound when they are asleep. And assuming that each snorer disturbs the sleep of at least one other person, it necessarily follows that

19、 there are 21 million unhappy listeners. While a sleeping person breathes, either in or out, several structures in his nose and throat generate the snoring. The sounds, coming from the soft palate and other soft structures of the throat, are caused by vibratory responses to inflowing and outflowing

20、air. When the soft tissues of the mouth and throat come close to the lining of the throat, the vibrations that occur are caused by the position of the tongue. In short, the noise made by snoring can be compared to the noise when breezes flutter a flag on the pole. The frequency of the vibrations dep

21、ends on the size, density, and elasticity of the affected tissues and on the force of the air flow. Although it is usually the process of in haling or exhaling through the mouth that cause snoring, short snores come from the nose of an open-mouthed sleeper. In all fairness to snorers, however, it sh

22、ould be emphasized that snoring is a involuntary out which stops as the offender is awakened.21. The snoring is caused by . A. the soft palate and other structures of the throat B. the inflowing and outflowing air through the nose C. the inflowing and outflowing air through mouthD. the vibrations as

23、 a result of the inflowing and outflowing air22. If a person produces short snores, most probably he has .A. a soft palate B. a big nose C. an open mouth D. a small throat23. The authors attitude towards the snorers is .A. objective B. subjective C. sympathetic D. annoyedPassage TwoBeing sociable lo

24、oks like a good way to add years to your life Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity(长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted, in 1858 by Willian Farr, who wrote that widows an

25、d widower (夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked agai

26、nst you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with

27、 a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death, and caring for a spouse with m

28、ental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are com

29、plex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological(生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in suppor

30、tive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnecte

31、d, so their health is interconnected.”24. William Farrs study and other studies show that .A. social life provides an effective cure for illness.B. being sociable helps improve ones quality of life.C. women benefit more than men from marriage.D. marriage contributes a great deal to longevity.25.

It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side” (Line 4, Para.2) refers to . A. the disadvantages of being married.B. the emotional problems aris
