four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Passage 1 Hair loss is one of those things we still do not understand.Science has,of course,shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss.Some kinds of hair loss are temporary(临时旳),an effect of illness.In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive.If it is not,hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal,healthy sign.Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests.About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern.Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal(季节性旳）,with the most hair loss occurring in the fall.Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation(积累)of a hormone(荷尔蒙)in the body.When that hormone reaches a certain level,the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result.There is no cure for most cases of hair loss.This,however,is not the end of the world.61.According to science,_.A.all hair loss is a normal,healthy sign B man should pay special attention to hair loss C.its likely that men have more problems of hair loss D.men lose more hair than women do 62.If the hair root is not alive,_.A.there will be illness B.human beings have no way to cure hair loss C hair loss are temporary D.there is still something that can help 63.We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is _.A.permanent B.healthy sign C.seasonal D.nothing serious 64.The sentence“This,however,is not the end of the world”means _.A.man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the future B.the writer believes the earth exists for ever C.we cant destroy the world by any means D.the last day will never come to our people 65.The best title for the passage may be _.A.Loss or Growth B.Hair Loss C.Healthy Sign D.Change with Seasons Passage 2 Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is“Dont!”But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act，although the chances of his becoming famous are slim The normal way to begin is to go to a drama schoolUsually only students who show promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two yearsThen the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(剧团)，usually as an assistant stage managerThis means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small partsIt is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tiny Of course，some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard trainingConnie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his car He stopped and got out to speak to the girl He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was jokingThen she got angry and said she would call the police.It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious.The test was successfulAnd within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day.But chances like this happen once in a blue moon.66 From the very beginning，the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession _ A.sought after by too many B.too difficult for young people C.for slim people only D.one can go into without special training 67.For someone who feels he must act，it is very likely that _ A.he will become a film star at long last B.he will become a stage manager C.he will be well paid D.he will end up without any success 68.The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was _ A.at work in a bicycle factory B.driving past him in her car C.going to a film studio D.waiting for a bus 69.A few weeks after the test,Connie Pratt found herself _ A.the most famous actress of the world B.playing the leading female role in a play C.as famous as the greatest actor of the world D.no less famous than the leading actor of the day 70.The concluding sentence“chances like this happen once in a blue moon”means A.this is something which happens once in a while B.this is a highly profitable chance C.this is something highly possible D.this is a very rare chance Passage 3 Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their statusBut in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits，and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than anotherSo how do people in the business world show their superiority?An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films They had two actors play the parts of an executive(经理)and a visitor，and switch roles each time The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive，while the other，playing the part of a visitor，knocks at the door，opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated manHe was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk，and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and enteringFor the seated executive，his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answeringThe quicker the visitor entered the room，the more status he hadThe longer the executive took to answer，the more status he had 71.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A.The executive has a higher status than the visitor B.Military people wear uniforms but the businessmen do not C.A study revealing a set of rules about the status of businessmen D.It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research 72.The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out _ A.how business is conducted by all executive and a visitor B.how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor C.how to tell businessmen at a glance D.how businessmen indicate status 73.Having entered the room，the closer the visitor approaches the executive,_ A.the less it affected his status B.the lower his status C.the more it affected his status D.the higher his status 74.The longer the seated man was in answering the knock，_ A.the higher his status B.the less it affect
