    Promising Resnlts from Cancer Study
    A new experimental vaccine(疫苗)has shown promising results in the fight against lung cancer.In a small Texas-based study,a vaccine developed by scientists at Baylor University Medical Centre in Dallas,USA,cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.
    Researchers have reported encouraging findings from this small study.Forty一three patients suffering from lung cancer were involved in these trials.Ten of these patients were in the early stages and thirty-three in tho advanced stages of the disease.They were injected with the vaccine every two weeks for three months,and were carefully monitored for three years.In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the disease disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great difference was seen in the patients in the early stages of the illness.
    This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is injected into the arm or leg.It stimulates(刺激)the body's immune system, which then recognizes that the cancer cells are harmful,and attacks and destroys them.
    The vaccine could be effective against other forms of cancer.It offers great hope for the treatment of cancer in general,although further studies are needed before such treatment can be widely used.

    The vaccine may be useful for treating other cancers.

    【解析】
    题干意为“疫苗治愈了所有参与试验的人。”关键词是cured。依据此关键词,可在文中第一段第二句找到相关叙述:“In a small Texas-based study, a vaccine developed by scientists at Baylor University Medical Centre in Dallas,USA,cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.”(位于美国达拉斯的贝勒大学医学中心的几位科学家研制出了一种疫苗,这种疫苗在一个基于德克萨斯州的小型研究中治愈了一些肺癌患者,减缓了其他患者的病情发展过程。)由此可见,这种疫苗并没有治愈所有参与实验者,故此题说法为“错误”的。
    题干意为“超过四十人参与了这次研究。”关键词是forty。依据此关键词,可在文中第二段第二句找到相关叙述:“Forty-three patients suffering from lung cancer were involved in these trials.”(四十三个肺癌患者参与到这些试验中。)由此可见参与人数确实超过了四十人,故此题说法为“正确”的。
    题干意为“在试验中,处于疾病早期的患者恢复得更快。”关键词是the early stages和recovered。依据此关键词,可在文中第二段最后两句找到相关叙述:“In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the disease disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great difference was seen in the patients in the early stages of the illness.”(晚期患者中有三名患者的疾病消失,其他患者的病情在5 到24个月内没有扩散。然而,处于疾病早期的患者没有出现任何不同。)可见这种疫苗对晚期患者的效果比较明显,故此题说法为“错误”的。
    题干意为“所有患者都来自达拉斯。”关键词是Dallas。依据此关键词,可在文中第一段第二句找到相关叙述:“In a small Texas-based study, a vaccine developed by scientists at Baylor University Medical Centre in Dallas,USA,cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.”(位于美国达拉斯的贝勒大学医学中心的几位科学家研制出了一种疫苗,这种疫苗在一个基于德克萨斯州的小型研究中治愈了一些肺癌患者,减缓了其他患者的病情发展过程。)由此可知,研制疫苗的科学家都来自位于达拉斯的贝勒大学医学中心,而病人是不是都来自达拉斯,这一点文中并没有提到,故此说法为“未提及”的。
    题干意为“每一个病人都被注射同样的疫苗。”关键词是the same vaccine。 依据此关键词,可在文中第三段第一句、第二句找到相关叙述:“This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is injected into the arm or leg.”(这种新型疫苗使用了人体自身的免疫系统。每个病人的疫苗都是专门制造,然后被注射到手臂或腿上。)由此可见每个患者的疫苗都是不一样的,故此题说法为“错误”的。
    题干意为“这种疫苗激活了免疫系统。”关键词是activates。依据此关键词, 可在文中第三段第三句找到相关叙述:“It stimulates the body's immune system, which then recognizes that the cancer cells are harmful, and attacks and destroys them.”(疫苗能刺激人体免疫系统,使免疫系统意识到癌细胞是有害的,从而攻击和破坏它们。)由此可见这种疫苗是通过激活免疫系统发挥作用的,故此题说法为“正确”的。
    题干意为“这种疫苗或许可用于治疗其他癌症。”关键词是other cancers。 依据此关键词,可在文中第四段第一句找到相关叙述:“The vaccine could be effective against other forms of cancer.”(这种疫苗或许可以有效地对抗其他癌症。)由此可知,它是可以用于治疗其他癌症的,故此题说法为“正确”的。

    Survey Found Many Women Misinformed About Cancer Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer,they're not likely to develop the disease,a new survey found. In fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer,according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACOG)(美国妇产科医师学会),which sponsored the survey.
    "Too many women are dying from cancer,"Dr.Douglas W.Laube,ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference."An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U.S.this year,and over 600 , 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer.The results of this survey found a worrisome(令人担忧的) gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
    Based on the findings,ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
    Although the survey found many misconceptions(错误观念)about cancer , 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However,only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk.And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past years to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.
    Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings,ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website-Protect & Detect:What Women Should Know about Cancer.The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.

    ACOG's efforts to educate women about cancer will be greatly appreciated.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第三段最后一句话“The results of this survey found a worrisome gap in women ' s knowledge about cancer.”可知,很多美国女性对癌症知识了解很少。故选A。
    由文章第二段“In fact , most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer…”可知,没有家族癌症病史的人也会患癌症。故选B。
    通读全文,文章中并未提及男性患癌症的情况,因此也就无从比较死于癌症的女性和男性数量的多少。故选C。
    由文章第五段“…76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.”可知,大部分女性对于如何减少癌症风险还是有一定了解的。故选B。
    由文章第六段第三句话“17 percent said they wouldn ' t change their lifestyles , even if changes would lower their cancer risk.”可知,即使改变生活方式会降低癌症风险,但是有些女性还是不愿意去改变。故选A。
    由文章第七段第一句话“Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.”可知,很多美国女性因为害怕被检查出癌症而不敢去检查。故选A。
    由文章最后一段可知,针对这些发现,AGOG将建立一个网站来指导女性了解自己的健康状况及提高她们对自己会患癌症的风险的理解,并未提及AGOG对女性关于癌症的教育受到了人们的感激。故选C。

    US Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer

    Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more likely to die of
    cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday.
    In a special report on cancer and blacks, the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer
    later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.
    This could be because of unequal access to medical care,because blacks are more likely to have other
    diseases like diabetes as well,and perhaps because of differences in the biology of the cancer itself,the report added.
    "In general,African Americans have]ess likelihood of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for
    all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,"the report said.
    "In describing cancer statistics for African Americans,this report recognizes that socioeconomic dispari-
    ties and unequal access to medical care may underlie many of the differences associated with race."
    The Cancer Society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups earlier,when cancer is more
    treatable,and it said more research was needed to see if biological differences play a role.

    Cancer is more treatable if it is detected________.
    A:in an early stage
    B:together with other diseases
    C:during check-ups
    D:in elderly people

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段的内容可知,美国黑人的死亡率高于美国的白人。该段只是将美国黑人与美国白人的癌症死亡率进行了比较。故选B。
    前三项原因在文章第三段中都被提到了,而早期诊断是有助于降低癌症死亡率的。
    利用题干中“检测”作为线索,由文章第六段的内容可以得知,癌症越早发现越有利于治疗。
    文章第七段提到,公共政策和教育有助于消除不平等的社会差异。
    利用题干中的时间作线索,由文章的倒数第三段的内容可知,从1992年以来,美国黑人的癌症死亡率下降了。

    Promising Results From Cancer Study

    A new experimental vaccine(疫苗)has shown promising results in the fight against lung cancer. In a
    small Texas-based study,a vaccine developed by scientists at Baylor University Medical Centre in Dallas,
    USA,cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.
    Researchers have reported encouraging findings from this small study.Forty-three patients suffering from
    lung cancer were involved in these trials.Ten of these patients were in the early stages and thirty-three in the
    advanced stages of the disease.They were injected with the vaccine every two weeks for three months,and
    were carefully monitored for three years.In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the disease
    disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great difference
    was seen in the patients in the early stages of the illness.
    This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is
    injected into the arm or leg. It stimulates(刺激)the body' s immune system, which then recognizes that the
    cancer cells are harmful,and attacks and destroys them.
    The vaccine could be effective against other forms of cancer. It offers great hope for the treatment of
    cancer in general,although further studies are needed before such treatment can be widely used.

    Patients in the early stages of the disease recovered more quickly in the trial.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    题意:该疫苗治愈了参加试验的所有患者。文章第一段最后一句话“cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.”意思是有些患者被治愈了,有些 是病情得到缓解,由此可判断题干叙述错误。故木题选B。
    题意:超过四十人参加了这个试验。根据文章第二段第二句“Forty-three patients suffer- ing from lung cancer were involved in these trials.”可知,参加实验的有43人,所以题干叙述正 确,故本题选A。
    题意:试验中,处十癌症早期的患者恢复的更快。根据文章第二段最后两句“In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the disease disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great difference was seen in the patients in theearly stages of the illness.”可知,癌症晚期的患者注射疫苗后有很大变化,癌症早期的没有多大起色,所以题干叙述错误,故本题选B。
    文章中说科学家做实验的地点在Dallas,没有提及病人来自哪里,故选C。
    题意:每个患者注射的都是一样的疫苗。从第三段的前两句话“This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is injected into the arm or leg.”可知,每支疫苗都是根据患者的免疫系统研究出来的,所以疫苗是不同的,因此答 案选择B。
    由文章第三段最后一句话“It stimulates the body' s immune system, which then recognizes that the cancer cells are harmful, and attacks and destroys them.”可知,这种疫苗会刺激身体里的 免疫系统,然后免疫系统辨认出身体里的有害癌细胞,攻击并摧毁它们。题干中activate的意 思是“激活”,与此句意思相符。故选A。
    题意:疫苗可能能够在治疗其他癌症上发挥作用。根据文章最后一段第一句“The vac-cine could be effective against other forms of cancer.”可知,题干叙述正确,故本题选A。第3部分:概括大意与完成句子

    题意:该疫苗治愈了参加试验的所有患者。文章第一段最后一句话“cured lung cancer in some patients and slowed the progress of the disease in others.”意思是有些患者被治愈了,有些 是病情得到缓解,由此可判断题干叙述错误。故木题选B。
    题意:超过四十人参加了这个试验。根据文章第二段第二句“Forty-three patients suffer- ing from lung cancer were involved in these trials.”可知,参加实验的有43人,所以题干叙述正 确,故本题选A。
    题意:试验中,处十癌症早期的患者恢复的更快。根据文章第二段最后两句“In three of the patients in the advanced stages of cancer,the disease disappeared and in the others,it did not spread for five to twenty-four months.However,no great difference was seen in the patients in theearly stages of the illness.”可知,癌症晚期的患者注射疫苗后有很大变化,癌症早期的没有多大起色,所以题干叙述错误,故本题选B。
    文章中说科学家做实验的地点在Dallas,没有提及病人来自哪里,故选C。
    题意:每个患者注射的都是一样的疫苗。从第三段的前两句话“This new vaccine uses the patient's own immune system.It is made specifically for each patient and is injected into the arm or leg.”可知,每支疫苗都是根据患者的免疫系统研究出来的,所以疫苗是不同的,因此答 案选择B。
    由文章第三段最后一句话“It stimulates the body' s immune system, which then recognizes that the cancer cells are harmful, and attacks and destroys them.”可知,这种疫苗会刺激身体里的 免疫系统,然后免疫系统辨认出身体里的有害癌细胞,攻击并摧毁它们。题干中activate的意 思是“激活”,与此句意思相符。故选A。
    题意:疫苗可能能够在治疗其他癌症上发挥作用。根据文章最后一段第一句“The vac-cine could be effective against other forms of cancer.”可知,题干叙述正确,故本题选A。第3部分:概括大意与完成句子

    Survey Found Many Women Misinformed About Cancer Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer,they're not likely to develop the disease,a new survey found. In fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer,according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACOG)(美国妇产科医师学会),which sponsored the survey.
    "Too many women are dying from cancer,"Dr.Douglas W.Laube,ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference."An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U.S.this year,and over 600 , 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer.The results of this survey found a worrisome(令人担忧的) gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
    Based on the findings,ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
    Although the survey found many misconceptions(错误观念)about cancer , 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However,only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk.And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past years to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.
    Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings,ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website-Protect & Detect:What Women Should Know about Cancer.The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.

    Some American women are just unwilling to change their lifestyles.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第三段最后一句话“The results of this survey found a worrisome gap in women ' s knowledge about cancer.”可知,很多美国女性对癌症知识了解很少。故选A。
    由文章第二段“In fact , most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer…”可知,没有家族癌症病史的人也会患癌症。故选B。
    通读全文,文章中并未提及男性患癌症的情况,因此也就无从比较死于癌症的女性和男性数量的多少。故选C。
    由文章第五段“…76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.”可知,大部分女性对于如何减少癌症风险还是有一定了解的。故选B。
    由文章第六段第三句话“17 percent said they wouldn ' t change their lifestyles , even if changes would lower their cancer risk.”可知,即使改变生活方式会降低癌症风险,但是有些女性还是不愿意去改变。故选A。
    由文章第七段第一句话“Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.”可知,很多美国女性因为害怕被检查出癌症而不敢去检查。故选A。
    由文章最后一段可知,针对这些发现,AGOG将建立一个网站来指导女性了解自己的健康状况及提高她们对自己会患癌症的风险的理解,并未提及AGOG对女性关于癌症的教育受到了人们的感激。故选C。

    第三篇

    Nuclear Power and Its Danger

    Nqclear power's danger to health,safety,and even life itself can be summed up in one word:radiation.
    Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it,partly because it cannot be detected by human senses.
    It can't be seen or heard,or touched,or tasted,even though it may be all around us.There are other things
    like that.For example,radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them,sense them,without a radio
    receiver.Similarly,we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves,
    nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
    At very high levels,radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital or-
    gans.But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage.There is no level of radiation that is completely
    safe.if the radiation does not hit anything important,the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only
    a few cells are hit,and if they are killed outright.Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few
    cells are only damaged,and if they reproduce themselves,you may be in trouble.They reproduce them-
    selves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
    This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation.Serious damage can be done with-
    out the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.A person can be irradiated and feel fine,
    then die of cancer five,ten,or twenty years later as a result.Or a child can be born weak or liable to
    serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
    Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth.

    Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?
    A:The importance of protection from radiation cannot be over-emphasized.
    B:The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.
    C:Cancer is mnainly caused by radiation.
    D:Radiation can hurt those who are not aware of its danger.

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一句“Nuclear power' s danger to health , safety , and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.”可知,核能对人类健康,安全性甚至生命造成的威胁可归纳到一个词:核辐射。故选C。
    由文章第三段第一句和第二句“At very high levels , radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital organs.But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage.”可知,高强度的核辐射通过杀死主要器官里的大量细胞,导致动物或人类立刻死亡。不过即使是最低强度的辐射也可能造成严重的后果(通过损伤主要器官里的少量细胞)。由第二句中的but可知,这是两个对比句,后面一句省略了by killing little cells in vital or-gans。故选B。
    在第三段中,significant最可能的含义是:A.致命的;B.有意义的;C.值得注意的; D.有害的。根据上下文,A项最符合句意。故选A。
    由文章第三段第一句可知,选项A:杀死主要器官里的大量细胞,导致人立刻死亡,是正确的。由文章第三段最后两句话“They can grow into cancer.Sometimes this does not show up for many years.”可知,选项B:损伤细胞,致使细胞多年以后发生癌变,是正确的。由文章倒数第二段最后一句话“Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as result of radiation ab-- sorbed by its grandparents.”可知,选项C:影响我们后代的健康,是正确的。故选D。
    题干的意思是能从文章中推断出的最恰当的陈述是:A.预防核辐射的重要性再强调也不过分;B.辐射的秘密还没有揭开;C.癌症主要是由辐射引起的;D.辐射可能伤害那些意识不到辐射危害的人。从文章内容和常识判断,A为正确答案。
