41、根据以下资料，回答41-60题： A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can．This makes surgery riskier for men．Because they do not breathe as often as women，men also need more oxygen．But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk．They draw more of the air when it is polluted． Men’s bones are larger than women’s and they are arranged somewhat differently．The femi-nine walk that evokes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure．A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis，which makes him stride out with no waste motion．A woman’s wider pel-vis，designed for childbearin9，forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway as she walks． If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean out the roof gutters．don’t forget it is easier for him than for a woman．The angle at which a woman’s thigh is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her，no matter whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is tackling． A man’s skin is thicker than a woman’s and not nearly as soft．This prevents the sun’s radia-tion from getting through，which is why men wrinkleless than women do．Women have a thin lay-er of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve．It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman wanner in the winter．Women also stay cooler in summer．Because the fat layer helps insulate them against heat．Men’s fat is distributed differently．And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin．In fact，they have considerably less than women and more lean mass．41 percent of a man’s body is muscle compared to thirty．five percent for women，which means that men have more mus proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight．Muscle bums up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself．So when a man wants to lose weight．the pounds roll off much faster．For all men’s muscularity they do not have the energy re-serves women d0．They have more start—up energy，but the fat tucked away in women’s nooks and crannies provides a rich energy reserve that men lack． Cardiologists at the University of Alabama who tested healthy women on treadmills discovered that over the years the female capacity for exercise far exceeds the male capacity．A woman of six-ty who is in good health can exercise up t0 90 percent of what she could do when she was twenty．A man of sixty has only 60 percent left of his capacity as a twenty—year—old．

That delirious swooning，asexual but urgent and obsessive，that made me awkward and my voice crack，is like some impossible dream now． I would catch sight of her，walking down an aisle of trees to or from school，and I’d become Daralyzed．She always seemed so poised，so self-possessed． At home，I’d relive each encounter， writhing at thethought of my inadequacies．We eventually got acquainted and socialized as we en-tered our adolescence，she knew I had a case on her，and I sensed her affectionate tolerance for me．“Going steady”implied a maturity we still lacked．Her Orthodox Jewish upbringing and my own Catholic scruples imposed an inhibited grace that made even kissing a distant prospect, howev-er fervently desired．I managed to hold her once at a dance—chaperoned，of course．Our embrace made her giggle．a sound SO trusting that I hated myself for what I ’d been thinking．At any rate，my love for Rachel remained unrequited．We graduated from high school，she went on t0 college，and I joined the Army． When World War II engulfed US．I was sent overseas．For a time we corresponded and her letters were the highlight of those grinding endless years．Once she sent me a snapshot of herself in a bathing suit，which drove me to the wildest of fantasies．I mentioned the possibility of marriage in my next letter．and almost immediately her replies became less frequent，less personal．Her Dear John letter finally caught up with me while l was awaiting discharge．She gently explained the im— possibility of a marriage between US．Looking back on it．I must have recovered rather quickly，al—though for the first few months I believed I didn’t want to live．Like Rachel，I found someone else，whom I learned to love with a deep and permanent commitment that has lasted to this day． According to the passage，how old was the author when his first love affair began?

56、根据以下资料，回答56-75题： In the late years of the nineteenth century．“capital”and“labour”were enlarging and perfec—ting their rival organizations on modem lines．Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company with a bureaucracy of salaried managers．The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after the energetic founders．It was moreover a step away from individual initiative，towards collectivism and munici—pal and state—owned business．The railway companies，though still private business managed for the benefit of shareholders，were very unlike old family business．Meanwhile the great municipalities went into business to supply lighting，trams and other services to the taxpayers． The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important conse—quences．Such large，impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class，an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners；and almostequally detached from the responsible management of business．During the nineteenth century，America，Africa，India， Australia and parts of Europe were being developed by British capital，and British shareholders were thus enriched by the world’s movement towards industrialisation．Towns like Boumemouth and Eastboume sprang up to house large“comfortable”classes who had retired on their incomes，and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends and occa—sionally attending a shareholders’meeting to dictate their orders to the management．On the other hand“shareholdin9”meant leisure and freedom which was used by many of the later Victorians for the highest purpose of a great civilisation． The“shareholders”as such had no knowledge of the lives，thoughts or needs of employees in the company in which they held shares，and their influence on the relations of capital and labour was not good．The paid manager acting for the company was in more direct relation with the work—ers and their demands，but even he had seldom familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employers had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business．Indeed the mere size of operations and the number of workmen involved rendered such personal relations impossible．Fortunately，however，the increasing power and organisation of the trade unions，at least in all skilled trades．enabled the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the compa—nies who employed them．The cruel discipline of the strike and lockout taught the two parties to re—spect each other’s strength and understand the value of fair negotiation． The author says that old family firms_______．A．were mined by the younger generationsB．failed for lack of individual initiativeC．lacked efficiency compared with modem companiesD．were able to supply adequate services to taxpayers
57、 The growth of limited liability companies resulted in_______． A．the separation of capital from managementB．the ownership of capital by managersC．the emergence of capital and labour as two classesD．the participation of shareholders in land ownership
58、 The text indicates that_______． A．some countries developed quickly because of the emergence of the limited liability companiesB．the tide of industrialisation would widely benefit British shareholders greatlyC．shareholders contributed a lot to the fast growth of the British economyD．the system of shareholding impaired the management of modem companies
59、 We learn from the text that_______． A．shareholders often cast negative influence on the well—being of workersB．owners of traditional finns enjoyed a good relationship with their employeesC．limited liability companies were too large to run smoothlyD．trade unions had a positive role on workers and the management

61、根据以下资料，回答61-65题： Read the following text carefulfy and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese．Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2． 61)In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent,notions of male superiority are hard to maintain．The paRem of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality，and this in turn leads to further sharin9．62)1n such a home,the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than their parents did and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the"battle of the sexes"． If the process goes too far and man’s role is not regarded as important as before--and that has happened in some cases——we are as badly off as before．only in reverse． We should reassess the role of the man in the American family．We are getting a little tired of“Momism”．but we don’t want to change it into a “Neo-papism”.What we need is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equality．63)There are signs that psychologists and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have de-cided that women should not receive all the credit, nor all the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman's place is at home．64)We are beginning,however,to study a man's place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it．Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child． 65)The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules,because each family member needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems．Excessive authodtarianism has unhappy consequences，whether it wears skirts or trousers，and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is relevant not only to a healthy democracy，but also to a healthy family．
