Part III Reading Comprehension (35 points, 35 minutes)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 4 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are required.
Task 1 (10 points)

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A., B., C. and D.. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
(71) Experts have long thought that depression could be bad for your heart. A new research demonstrates just how dangerous it can be. Brenda Penninx, a gerontologist (老年病学家) in Forest University, North Carolina and her colleagues followed 2, 847 people over the age of 55 both with and without heart disease — for four years in order to trace the effects of depression.
(72) In the end, they found that people with major depression were at least three times as likely to die of heart disease as were patients who weren't depressed. Even subjects with mild depression experienced a fatality rate that was 50 percent higher than normal.
Brenda Penninx isn't sure exactly what the connection between heart disease and depression is, but since depression can raise stress, and stress triggers an outpouring of the hormone cortisol (荷尔蒙肾上腺皮质素), and this could cause heart rate and blood pressure to rise.
Other factors could also play a part: Depressed people are less likely to do physical exercises and eat right than those who do not suffer from the malady. "Depression deserves a lot more attention than it usually gets," Penninx warns. "It's a huge risk factor, so it's really crucial to take care of our emotions."
51. Why did Brenda Penninx and her colleagues follow 2, 847 people over 55 years old?
A. Because they wanted to know their physical conditions.
B. Because the people all had heart disease.

A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law". Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. (73) All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and can not afford to pay these lawyers' fee?
Public interest lawyers fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have got help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.
Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others live in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (being driven) and have no place to go. These cases are all called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases.
