28、Answer Sheet. Passage 1Hair 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 al
29、l 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 mo
30、nths 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 pro
31、blem 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
32、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 do62.If the hair root is not alive,_.
33、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 serious64. The sentence “This, however,
34、 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 people65. The best title for the passage may be _. A. Los
35、s or Growth B. Hair Loss C. Healthy Sign D. Change with SeasonsPassage 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 th
36、e 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 managerTh
