题目内容

Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth sense is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently--to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.
Muscles are stringy bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics: they can become shorter and thicker and can stretch to their original position. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.
More than half of a person's body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which involuntary --in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform. particular action, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can't lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.
Intelligent use of the muscles means that ______.

A. one always knows what his muscles are doing
B. one performs simple actions without working
C. one's muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they perform
D. one improves muscular action consciously

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the "best seller” list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight.
This is the principle behind" quiz" or" game" shows , which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were popular in America and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor became rich and famous on quiz shows. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show's producers gave the answers to him beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren't taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.
The sale of novels is talked about in comparison with ______.

A. the size of a television set
B. the number of TV viewers
C. the sale of" best sellers"
D. the number of TVs

听力原文:W: So, how are things going, Johnson?
M: Well, to be honest, Nancy, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon. I thought I'd get better, but I feel worse than before. And I'm really worried because I'm scheduled to have a presentation at work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.
W: Well, what seems to be the problem?
M: Well, I thought I had the flu, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold medicine to take care of my stuffy nose and fever. I'm supposed to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn't seem to help. He also told me to stay off my feel for a day or so, but I'm so busy these days.
W: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine.
M: Oh, no, thanks.
W: Ah, come on! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom's herbal tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me. You'll be up and dancing around in no time.
M: Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job.
W: Great. I'll come by your place at 7:30. See you then.
