单选题{{B}}D{{/B}} Culture (文化) unchangingly molds (影响) human biology. Culture encourages certain activities, discourages others, and sets standards of physical health and attractiveness (吸引力). Sports activity, which is influenced by culture, helps build phenotype (具有共同类型的一类有机物). American girls are encouraged to pursue and so, they do well in -competitive track and field, swimming, and diving. Brazilian girls are encouraged to avoid public activities. In Brazil fewer females swim, drive, and run than is the case in America. Culture standards of attractiveness also affect athletic activities. Americans run or swim not just to compete but to keep trim (漂亮的) and fit (健康的). Brazil' s beauty standards accept more fat, especially in female buttocks and hips. Years of swimming mold an enlarged upper torso, a massive neck, and powerful shoulders and back. Successful women swimmers tend to be big, strong, hard and bulky, but Brazilian culture says that women should be soft. A Brazilian beauty should have big hips and buttocks rather than big shoulders. So Brazil seldom sends female swimmers or runners to the Olympics. The countries that produce successful female swimmers are the United States, Germany, and Russia or any other one but not Latin countries including Brazil.

单选题{{B}}D{{/B}} The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US. It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation's largest city. The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York. It cost $7,143,789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges(过运河费) were stopped, the state collected $121,461,891. For a hundred years before the Erie was built, people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. Those who were against the canal laughingly called it "Clinton's Ditch(沟)". Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it. He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal, but they were unsuccessful. Clinton became governor of New York in 1817, and shortly afterwards, on July 4, 1817, broke ground for the canal in Rome, N.Y. The first part of the canal was completed in 1820. As the canal grew, towns along its course developed fast. The length of the canal is 363 miles.

单选题From the 440 radio channels available on Osaka Yusen Broadcasting, Japan's largest cable- radio network, subscribers (订户) can tune into a channel featuring (以……为特色) 24 hours of croaking frogs, or one that consists of the sound of trains polling in and out of stations. As well as the sounds of birds or percolating (过滤) coffee, Osaka Yusen offers nearly 100 channels of announcer-free jazz, rock, classical music, Second World War military marches, and folk music from all over the world. Easton and Abba each have entire channels to themselves, al- though the repeating rate must be almost as high as that of an in-flight music channel. For those in search of more intellectual (智力的) background sounds for their dinner par- ties, there is always the lesson channel or a range of talks on spiritual development. But anyone tired of all the above should adjust their sets to "drowsing (瞌睡) channels" and tune into the sheep-counting station, for example, which features a mature male voice slowly counting from one to a thousand. For busy people wishing to calm down after an awful day at work, there is a channel of slow music, and another carrying only the sound of a mother's heartbeat. According to the company, "Babies listen to this noise before they are born. It's a natural relaxant./
