similar and interchangeable,but in other casesonly one option is possible.“Whether&WIP SimilaritiesBoth whether and if can be used in reported speech with verbs such as ask”.Forexample:T asked her if I could take her car.”I asked her whether I could take her car.”She asked me if I spoke French.,She asked me whether I spoke French.”She asked if Iliked it.”She asked whether I liked it.However,there are many other cases when it is onlypossible to use“whether.Lefs see a few examples.“Whether”We use“whether”(and an infinitive with“to)after the verbs“know”ask and“wonder”when there are two or more alternatives or options.For example:dont knowwhether to go to the cinema or whether to go to the theatre.,It isnt always necessary tomention the second“whether.So,we could say the previous sentence like this:I dontknow whether to go to the cinema or(whether)to go to the theatre.You can also use“or not”instead of mentioning the other option:I dont know whether to go to the cinema or not.Wealways use“whether if there is a preposition:We were thinking about whether we shouldgo early or late.And we often use“whether“when it is followed by an infinitive with to”:“I was wondering whether to tell you or Steve.”It is NOT possible to use i f when there are two alternative options,particularly withexpressions like Im not sure,I dont know and wonder“plus an infinitive with to”.Forexample:Im not sure whether to go to France or It is NOT possible to say,Im notsure if.I dont know whether to tell Michael or Sam.It is NOT possible to say,I dont knowif.Ive been wondering whether to go by train or plane.,It is NOT possible to say,Ivebeen wondering if.21.The text is mainly intended for students with problems.A.reading B.grammar C.writing D.listening22.Which of the following is acceptable

Iranian men gaining 16.5cm.A global study looked atthe average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries between 1922 and 2022.The results reveal that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1922,Dutchmen have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm.Latvianwomen,meanwhile,rose from 28th place in 1922 to become the tallest in the world a centurylater,with an average height of 169.8cm.James Bentham,a co-author of the research from Imperial College,London,says theglobal trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition and healthcare.UAnindividuafs genetics has a big influence on their height,but once you average over wholepopulations,genetics plays a less key role,“he added.A little extra height brings a number of advantages,says Elio Riboli of Imperial College.“Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy,he said.4 6 This is largely due to alower risk of dying of cardiovascular（心 血 管 的）disease among taller people.9,But while height has increased around the world,the trend in many countries of northand sub-Saharan Africa causes concern,says Riboli.While height increased in Uganda andNiger during the early 20th century,the trend has reversed in recent years,with heightdecreasing among 18-year-olds.“One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s,“saidAlexander Moradi of the University of Sussex.The nutritional and health crises that followedthe policy of structural adjustment,he says,led to many children and teenagers failing toreach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications.44Howtall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in,“he said.If wegive children the best possible start in life now,they will be healthier and more productive fordecades to come.”28.What does the global study tell us about peoples height in the last hundred years?A.There is a remarkable difference across continents.B.There has been a marked increase in most countries.C.The speed of increase in peoples height has been quickening.D.The general increase in womens height

on an individual than on a population.D.It plays a more significant role in females than in males.30.What does Elio Riboli say about taller people?A.They tend to live longer.B.They enjoy an easier life.C.They risk fewer cancers.D.They have greater expectations in life.31.What does the underlined word in paragraph 5 mean?A.backspun B.risen C.confirmed D.stabilized试 卷 第 6 页，共 13页According to the majority of Americans,women are every bit as capable of being goodpolitical leaders as men.The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporateboardroom（公 司 董 事 会）.And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on womenand leadership,most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadershiptraits such as intelligence and ability fbr creation,with many saying theyre stronger than menin terms of being passionate and organized leaders.So why,then,are women in short supply at the top of government and business in theUnited States?According to the public,at least,its not that they lack toughness,managementtalent or proper skill sets.Ifs also not all about work-life balance.Although economicresearch and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related tomotherhood may make it harder fbr women to advance in their careers and compete for topexecutive jobs,relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier forwomen seeking leadership roles.Only about one-in-five say womens family responsibilitiesare a major reason why there arent more females in top leadership positions in business andpolitics.Instead,topping the list of reasons,about four-in-ten Americans point to a doublestandard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business,wherethey have to do more than their male counter-parts to prove themselves.Similar shares saythe electorate（选 民）and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in topleadership positions.As a result,the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America willchange in the foreseeable future,even though women have made major advances in theworkplace.73%believe men will still continue to hold more top executive positions inbusiness in the future,and only 24%say its only a matter of time before as many women arein top executive positions as men.However,Americans are less doubtful when it comes topolitics:87%expect to see a female president in their lifetime.32.What do most Americans think of women leaders according to a new Pew ResearchCenter survey?A.They have to do more to distinguish themselves.B.They have to strive harder to win their positions.C.They are stronger than men in terms of intelligence.D.They are just as smart and innovative as men.33.What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles?A.They are lacking in toughness,management talent or proper skill sets.B.They are lacking in confidence when competing with men.C.Their failures may have something to do with family duties.D.Relatively few are interrupted in their career advancement.34.What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions accordingto the recent survey?A.Personality traits.B.Gender prejudice.C.Family responsibilities.D.Lack of positions.35.What does the passage say about corporate America in the near future on the whole?A.More and more women will sit in the corporate boardroom.B.Gender imbalance in leadership of corporate America is likely to change.C.The public is undecided about whether women will make good political
