18、a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding.Without the elevator,they point out,there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings,and city life as we know it would be impossible.In that sense,they argue,the elevators role in American history has been no less signifi

19、cant than that of cars.In fact,according to Wilk,the car and the elevator have been locked in a“secret war”for over a century,with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地),and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical(垂直的)columns.If we tend to igno

20、re the significance of elevators,it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring,and even awkward experienceone that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common,and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that were hanging from a cable in a long passage

21、.In a new book,Lifted,German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience,studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience.“After 150 ye

22、ars,we are still not used to it,”Bernard said.“We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.”That mixture,according to Bernard,sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today,as the worl

23、ds urban population explodes,and cities become more crowded,taller,and more crowded,Americas total number of elevators900,000 at last count,according to Elevator World magazines“2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”are a force thats becoming more important than ever.And for the people who really,re

24、ally love them,it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.41.What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.B.The desire for a remarkable machine.C.The particular interests of experts.D.The general view of

25、elevators.42.According to Prof.Bernard,what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?A.Uncomfortable conditions.B.Little physical space.C.Lack of excitement.D.Vertical direction.43.The author urges readers to consider .A.the relationship between cars and elevatorsB.the role o

27、)as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s,when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries,people used windmills t

28、o grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However,by the1940s when electricity was available to people in

29、 almost all areas of the United States,windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s,people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then,wind was redis

30、covered,though it means higher costs.Today,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.44.From the text we know that windmills _A.were invented by European armiesB.have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC.used to supply power to radio in remote areas

31、D.have rarely been used since electricity was discovered45.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?A.Sailing a boat.B.Producing electricityC.Grinding wheat into flour.D.Pumping water from underground46.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that_.A.wind power is

32、cleanerB.it is one of the oldest power sourcesC.it was cheaper to create energy from windD.the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs47.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A.The advantages of wind power.B.The design of wind power plants.C.The worldwide movement

33、to save energyD.The global trend towards producing power from windCPacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steves new wife,but Betty never seemed to have anything to say.While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation,Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her

34、 a chance to talk.The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.Conversation is a turn-taking game.When our habits are similar,theres no problem.But if our habits are different,you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take your turn when Im finished.Thats what was happe

35、ning with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental that Betty,who expected relatively longer pauses between turns,is British,and Sara,who expected relatively shorter pauses,is American.Betty often felt interrupted by Sara.But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the t

36、alking when she met a visitor from Finland.And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.The general phenomenon,then,is that the small conversation techniques,like pacing and pausing,lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personal

37、ity and abilities.These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping(思维定式).And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences.For example,a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to livein an eastern city to take up a job in personnel.When the Personnel De

38、partment got together for meetings,she kept searching for the right time to break in-and never found it.Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident,in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring.When she was evaluated at the end of the year,she was told to take a training course b

39、ecause of her inability to speak up.Thats why slight differences in conversational style-tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on ones life.The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems-even in the mind of the woman herself,who really wondered what

40、was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.48.What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A.Betty was talkative.B.Betty was an interrupter.C.Betty did not take her turn.D.Betty paid no attention to Sara.49.According to the passage,who are likely to expect the shortest pauses

41、 between turns?A.Americans.B.Israelis.C.The British.D.The Finns.50.We can learn from the passage that _.A.communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB.women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC.ones inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD.o

42、ne should receive training to build up ones confidence51.The underlined word assertiveness in the last paragraph probably means _A.being willing to speak ones mindB.being able to increase ones powerC.being ready to make ones own judgmentD.being quick to express ones ideas confidentlyDWeve reached a

45、public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting throughup to a point.In the 1970s,Finland,for example,had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause.Not any more.A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths

46、by 80 per cent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005,and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.That has become a sort of fashion.No wonder it ranks as the wo

47、rlds most body-conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weightbut actually doing it is another matter.By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food.They say:its just too inviting and it makes them ove

48、reat.Still others lay the blame on the Americans,complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.Some also blame their parentstheir genes.But unfortunately,the parents are wronged because theyre normal in shape,or rather slim.Its a similar story around the wo

49、rld,although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight.Parents are eager to see their kids shape up.Do as I saynot as I do.52.What is the“strange”point mentioned in the first sentence?A.The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B.Starvation is taking more peoples lives in t

53、 kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.56The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.57So they are called“diseases of civilization”.Many cancers a

54、nd diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none.58However,a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.St

55、one Age people hunted wild animals for their meat,which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products,and they made very little use of grains.59We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar

56、.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C60But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did,cutting the amount of fatty,salty and sweet food.AThese new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.BPeople tod
