4、 根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
There were many different cultures in the ancient world,but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman．Often these two eultures are lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike．But that is not the case．In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different．
The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people．The Romans were semi-democratic．They had a governing Senate,but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor．
Both cultures were great builders．But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different．The Greeks tended to be more artistic．Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples,columns, and decorative forms．The Romans,on the other hand,were more engineers than artists．They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning water pipes,and the best roads．
Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar．Both peoples ate very well indeed:lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines．
In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,
sea-oriented climates,and they both lived a full life．
{TS}What is the first paragraph about? （单选题）

A. The Greek and the Roman were similar．

B. People misunderstood European civilization．

C. Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization．

D. European civilization influenced American civilization greatly．

试题答案：C

5、 根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
Eating an apple a day doesn´t keep the doctor away,but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year．That´s according to a new study that investigates whether there´s any truth in the old saying．
A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis,of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health．A total of 753 were apple eaters,consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day．The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters．When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs．
Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though．“Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away．However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications,”the study concludes．
Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters．While apples do not compete with oranges,they do contain some immune(免疫的)system-increasing vitamin
C,which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less．With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake．
Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes(二型糖尿病),improved lung function and a lower risk of colon(结肠)cancer．
{TS}How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research? （单选题）

A. 149．

B. 7,646．

C. 753．

D. 8,399．

试题答案：B
