第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago．

The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly．Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times．So they are called “diseases of civilization”．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes（中风） are examples of such diseases．

Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol or tabacco, probably none．Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today．

Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals．They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits．They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains．But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods．We eat six times more salt than stone-age people．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C．

People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods．

36. The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate ______．

A．more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago did

B．as humans living 10,000 years ago ate

37. New kinds of sicknesses have been found because ______

A．the human body has changed compared with human first appeared on earth

C．our body can’t deal with the changes in life style

D．the way we live today are proper for the human body

38. What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?

A．Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise．

B．People today have a lot of alcohol．

C．People today have more tobacco．

D．Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times．

39. Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of ______．

A．milk and other dairy products B．grain foods and farm animals

B

Shanghai is the largest city in China．About eleven million people make their homes in Shanghai and its suburbs．This enormous city spreads out along the banks of the Huang Pu River, which flows into the mouth of the Yangtze River about fourteen miles north of here．Large oceangoing ships travel to Shanghai by way of the Yanggze and the Huang Pu．

Shanghai was a small, unimportant city until 1842 when China lost a war with Great Britain．The British realized that Shanghai was in an excellent location to serve as a seaport for the densely（密集） populated Yangtze River Plain．They forced the Chinese to allow English traders to settle on the wastelands outside the city walls．Later, French, American, and Japanese traders also came to Shanghai．The foreigners built whole new sections of Shanghai, including homes, stores, factories, and office buildings．Thousands of Chinese poured into Shanghai in search of jobs．Most of them settled in the old part of the city．As time passed, shanghai became one of the busiest seaports in the world．

41. According to the article, the population inside the city of Shanghai is ______
