or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and

Passage One
When the terrorist attack on September 11th caused people to flee the building,
Avremel Zelmanowitz risked his own chance of escape by staying behind with his friend
and colleague, Ed Beyea, who was Confined to a wheelchair due to a par'alysis (瘫
痪). Both men lost their lives, but the stray of Avremel's love and devotion to his
friend conveys a life-giving message to all.
Avremel never married, and he shared a house with his brother and his family. He
was a loving uncle to his brother's children; and he was devoted to caring for his
aging parents. He was a "family man" in every sense of the word. At the same time,
he had his own life, his varied interests, and a job and friends.
When the tragedy occurred, Avremel was age 55, and his friend, Ed Beyea, was age
42. Ed became disabled after a diving accident at age 22, but he managed to work
14 years at Blue Cross since his injury Both he and Avremel were program analysts
who worked on the 27th floor of World Trade Center.
They both loved books and music, and they both served as the special uncle of their
respective families. Like Avremel, Ed had no children of his own, but he was a father
figure to his two nephews after their father died.
On the morning of September 11, Ed wanted to wait until he could be securely carried
down by several rescue workers, as it was dangerous for someone with his disability
to be moved. Avremel wouldn't allow his friend to wait alone when everyone else was
fleeing the building, and he stayed with him.
In the days that followed, the media learned about Aw'emel's selfless act, and the
story began to spread. President Bush, in his national prayer address to the American
people, referred to Avremel's act as one of the many "outstanding acts of sacrifice"
that were demonstrated by Americans during this crisis.

Passage Two
What you've always heard? We're eating way too much salt. The average American gets
about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams
recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium
intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.
The headlines now? It's time to get tough. The New York City health department
recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and
restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average person's diet
comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker (盐瓶).
But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies
have tried to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty
food--and the results have pointed in eve~3~ direction. Sonre studies suggest that
cutting salt protects the heart; others suggest that intense salt reduction can
actually increase heart problems. What's needed,Dr. Michael Alderman says, is a
randomized (随机的) , controlled trial, in which people are put on different diets
and followed for years. It's the only way to get a reliable answer, but it's never
been done.
So what should you do? Go easy on processed foods and eat more produce. Those changes
will improve your diet in a variety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume.
If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to control it with drugs and
lifestyle changes. If your blood pressure is healthy? At this point, there's no
convincing reason for you to count every grain.
21、It is stated in Paragraph 1 that our sodium intake
[A] is within the healthy range
[B] is a bit over the upper limit
[C] is far beyond what is necessary
[D] is well below the lower limit
22、The main sources of salt in our diet are
[A] home-made food and packaged food
[B] restaurant food and saltshakers
[C] home-made food and saltshakers
[D] restaurant food and packaged food
23、What does the word "murky' (Para. 3) probably mean?
[A] Unclear [B] Significant
[C] Obvious [D] Exaggerated
24、What does Dr. Michael Alderman say about a randonfized, controlled trial?
[A] It has been successfully conducted
[B] It should be carded out.
[C] It is already under way.
[D] It is too late to try it.
25、As stated in the last paragraph, people with normal blood pressure
[A] should consider a change of their lifestyle
[B] have every reason to be careful about sodium
[C] will not be affected by the amount of sodium taken
[D] do not have to take sodium too seriously
