8、, It is a little bit complicated as in many cases they are very similar and interchangeable, but in other cases only one option is possible.“Whether” & “If”SimilaritiesBoth “whether” and “if can be used in reported speech with verbs such as “ask”. For example: “T asked her if I could take her car.”

9、“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 I liked it.” “She asked whether I liked it.” However, there are many other cases when it is only possible to use “whether”. Lets see a few examples.“Whether”We use “whet

10、her” (and an infinitive with “to”) after the verbs “know” “ask” and “wonder” when there are two or more alternatives or options. For example: “I dont know whether to go to the cinema or whether to go to the theatre.” It isnt always necessary to mention the second “whether”. So, we could say the prev

11、ious sentence like this: “I dont know 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.” We always use “whether” if there is a preposition: “We were thinking about whether

12、we should go 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.”“If”It is NOT possible to use “if” when there are two alternative options, particularly with expressions like “Im not sure”, “I dont know” and “wonde

13、r” plus an infinitive with “to”. For example: “Im not sure whether to go to France or Italy.” It is NOT possible to say, “Im not sure if.“I dont know whether to tell Michael or Sam.” It is NOT possible to say, “I dont know if.“Ive been wondering whether to go by train or plane.” It is NOT possible t

24、People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16. 5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries between 1922 and 2022.The results reveal that while Swedes were the tallest

25、people in the world in 1922, Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182. 5cm. Latvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1922 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169. 8cm.James Bentham, a co-author of the rese

26、arch from Imperial College, London, says the global trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition and healthcare. “An individuals genetics has a big influence on their height, but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role. “he added.A little extra hei

27、ght brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. “Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy, ” he said. “ This is largely due to a lower risk of dying of cardiovascular (心血管的)disease among taller people. But while height has increased around the world , the trend

28、 in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Riboli. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.“One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situat

29、ion in the 1980s, ”said Alexander Moradi of the University of Sussex. The nutritional and health crises that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believes the global trend of increas

30、ing height has important implications. “How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in, “ he said. “If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come. ”28What does the global study tell us about people

31、s height in the last hundred years?AThere is a remarkable difference across continents.BThere has been a marked increase in most countries.CThe speed of increase in peoples height has been quickening.DThe general increase in womens height is bigger than in mens.29What does James Bentham say about ge

32、netics in the increase of peoples height?AIt counts less than generally thought.BIt outweighs nutrition and healthcare.CIt impacts more on an individual than on a population.DIt plays a more significant role in females than in males.30What does Elio Riboli say about taller people?AThey tend to live

33、longer.BThey enjoy an easier life.CThey risk fewer cancers.DThey have greater expectations in life.31What does the underlined word in paragraph 5 mean?AbackspunBrisenCconfirmedDstabilizedAccording to the majority of Americans, women are every bit as capable of being good political leaders as men. Th

34、e same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom (公司董事会). And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership, most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadership traits such as intelligence and ability for creation, with many saying th

35、eyre stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, its not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets.Its also not all a

36、bout work-life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key ba

37、rrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say womens family responsibilities are a major reason why there arent more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for wo

38、men seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counter-parts to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate (选民)and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.As a result, the publi

39、c is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. 73% believe men will still continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, and only 24% say its only a matter of

40、time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. However, Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics:87% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.32What do most Americans think of women leaders according to a new Pew Research Center survey?AThey have to do more t

41、o distinguish themselves.BThey have to strive harder to win their positions.CThey are stronger than men in terms of intelligence.DThey are just as smart and innovative as men.33What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles?AThey are lacking in toughness, managem

42、ent talent or proper skill sets.BThey are lacking in confidence when competing with men.CTheir failures may have something to do with family duties.DRelatively few are interrupted in their career advancement.34What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according to

43、 the recent survey?APersonality traits.BGender prejudice.CFamily responsibilities.DLack of positions.35What does the passage say about corporate America in the near future on the whole?AMore and more women will sit in the corporate boardroom.BGender imbalance in leadership of corporate America is li

44、kely to change.CThe public is undecided about whether women will make good political leaders.DPeople have opposing opinions as to whether they will have a woman political leader.Rabbits are a courageous little species able to live on every continent, except Antarctica.

45、3, the new Year of the Rabbit has started! _36_ Cultural image of rabbits in ChinaRabbits are instinctively quiet but agile (敏捷)，which suits traditional Chinese aesthetic values of being gentle and cultivated. There is a view of rabbits in Chinese culture as being smart and gentle. _37_ , a Chinese

46、idiom praising people who are smart and agile like a rabbit.Legend has it that there is a Jade Rabbit living on the moon which is the pet of Change, a goddess widely known in China. This can explain why rabbits are regarded as an auspicious sign.Also, in ancient China, it was common sense that the m

47、ore children you had, the luckier and happier you would be. This belief made the rabbit a popular sign of good fortune. _38_Cultural image of rabbits in the WestSimilarly in the West, rabbits are full of vitality and fertile in nature, with populations growing to enormous sizes in short amounts of time. Rabbits are also considered to be incredibly lucky in the West, with several traditions illustrating how to gain the animals good luck for yourself.A hunter being able to catch a rabbit in the first place is also a sign of good luck.
