    _________(59)
    A:then
    B:anyhow
    C:however
    D:moreover

    答案:C
    解析:
    attribute to是固定搭配,意为,“把······归因于······”。

    空格所在处是说,营养不良导致儿童体重过轻。

    词义辫析题。calculations“计算出的结果”;rates“比率”;sums“总数”; figures“数字”。

    on a scale是固定搭配,例如on a large scale“大规模的”。

    in term of是固定搭配,意为“在······方面,按照”。

    该题所在句的大意是:各国政府和国际社会都应对此作出反应。

    该句中出现了countries一词,此处仍指countries。

    keep commitments的意思是“信守承诺”。

    从上下文可知,营养不良的问题依然严峻。因此此处需要表示转折的连词。故选择however“然而”。

    词义辫析题。recognized“确认”;estimated“估计”;clarified"阐明”;identifled“辫认”。

    根据上下文的逻辑判断应为annually“每年”。A、B、C三项意思分别为 “每天地”、“每月地”和“每季度地”。

    该处的意思是:有些地区,如撒哈拉沙漠以南的非洲和南亚。zones“区域,地带”;regions“地区”;districts“行政区”;terntories“领土”。

    combine with“联合,结合”;join with“一起”;share with“分享,分担”;associate with“结交”。该句的大意是:营养状况改善的停滞和人口的迅速增长······

    本句的大意为:······导致营养不良儿童的人数实际增加了。expected“预期的”;actual“实际的”;available“可得到的”;average“平均的”。

    meet the needs是固定搭配,意为“满足需要”。

    Malnutrition
    "Much of the sickness and death attributed to the major communicable diseases is in fact caused by malnutrition which makes the body less able to withstand infections when they strike",said Dr.Hiroshi Na-kajima,Director-General of the World Health Organization(WHO),in his statement on the first day of the
    World Food Summit organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Rome,Italy,from 1 3 to 17 November,1996.
    "At the same time,"he added,"in developing countries today,malnutrition is the cause of 174 million children under five years of age being underweight,and 230 million being stunted in their growth.Such figures represent deprivation, suffering and wasted human potential on a scale that is unacceptable from every point of view.Whether we think in terms of humanitarian concern,common justice or development needs, they demand a response,both from national governments and from international community."
    At the end of January 1996,98 countries had national plans of action for nutrition and 41 countries had one under preparation,in keeping with their commitments made at the International Conference on Nutrition in Rome in December 1992.The global situation,however,remains grim.Over 800 million people around the world still cannot meet basic needs for energy and protein,more than 2 ,000 million people lack essential micronutrients,and hundreds of millions suffer from diseases caused by unsafe food and unbalanced diets.
    In sheer numbers,iron is the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency.Mainly women of reproduction' age and children under five are affected by iron deficiency with prevalence hovering around 50% in developing countries.Among various regions in the world,it is South Asia which is hit hardest with prevalence reaching 80% in some countries.Tn infants and young children even mild anemia is associated with impaired intellectual as well as physical development.In older children and adults iron deficiency reduces work capacity and output.
    It also leads to increased accidents at work.
    While there is no single remedy,a combination of several preventive approaches is believed to work best.Dietary improvement includes consumption of iron-and vitamin C-rich foods and foods of animal origin, and avoiding drinking tea or coffee with or soon after meals.Iron supplementation of foods,particularly of staple cereals,is practiced in a growing number of countries.Iron supplementation is the most common approach,particularly for pregnant women.

    Which of the following is NOT the harm of lacking iron?
    A:Anemia.
    B:Impaired intellectual development.
    C:Traffic accidents.
    D:Reduced work capacity.

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据第一段第一句,直接的因果关系发生在sickness and death和malnutrition之间。
    答案依据在文章第二段,其中讲到“Such figures represent deprivation , suffering and wasted human potential on a scale that is unacceptable… they demand a response …",由此得知,不管出于哪个方面的考虑,我们都要采取行动。
    文章第三段中提到“98 countries had national plans of action for nutrition",而另有41个国家的计划只是在准备中,并未被真正制定出来。
    文章第四段中提到缺铁会引发贫血(anemia)、智力和身体发育受阻碍(impaired intellec-tual as well as physical development)、工作能力下降(reduces work capacity )。 C项traffic acci-dents在文中并未提及,故选C。

    A Biological Clock

Birds ______(57)flying become restless when it is time for the trip,______(58)they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended.

    65._________
    A: if
    B:such
    C: with
    D: so

    答案:B
    解析:
    从后半句when to form flowers and when flowers should open知道,只有plants才有花。前面没有定冠词修饰的plants是泛指植物这一大类,与动物类相对应。


    后面出现的when to leave the protective cocoons and fly away提示我们,唯有选in-sects才是正确的,因为只有insects才有protective cocoons,而birds、 fish和snakes都没有。


    affect作为动词是“影响”的意思,而effect作为动词则是“使发生,使生效”的意思。这里谈论的是动植物生物钟的一般情况,所以使用动词的一般现在时。


    这里应使用介词短语,因为其后是名词。because和since都有“因为”的意思,但它们都是连词,用来引导原因状语从句,for the reason that后接句子,所以也不是答案。


    根据下句中的in the longer hours of daylight in summer和上句中的the number of hours of daylight,以及该段的中心思想,可以判断,应选择B,因为冬天日短夜长,夏天则反之。


    本句中有birds , migration这些词,下一句又谈及迁徒飞行前的躁动不安,就知道应该填词义为“飞行”的名词。fly是动词,不能选择;其他两个选项也都不合适。flight是 fly的名词形式,所以是合适的选择。


    该句句子的主干是:主语birds,谓语become restless。所以,所填的词是过去分词,修饰birds。从上下文表达的意思判断,ordered by(被命令)、he1ped by(被帮助)和in- truded on(被强加)都不匹配,只有prevented from是合适的选择。


    很明显,这里需使用连词,连接该句中平行的两个分句。而根据整个句子的句意,上半句和下半句形成反差对比:become restless when the time of the flight has ended,所以应选择 but,表示相反的两层意思。


    portion是“一定数量,一份”, section是“切下的部分”, kind是“种类”,都不符合上下文意思连贯的要求。唯有B是正确的选项。


    不能选择C,因为主语是group,而不是cells,所以要采用动词的第三人称单数形式 seems 。 A和B不符合常识。


    These一词说明,其后名词是上文已经提到的某些事物,即cells。从下文中可以看出,尽管actions一词也在上文中出现,但该词不符合句意。选项A和B意思不准确。


    该句中的三个宾语都是带疑问副词的动词不定式,所以都要用动词原形。awaken 是唯一合适的选择,woke是wake的一般过去形式,awakening是形容词,wake-up是名词。


    studying后面是一个从句作它的宾语,而从句起首处应有个连词。把C或D填入空格,上下文意思不连贯。根据下文的例子,作者讨论的不是生物钟为什么会影响我们的工作,而是生物钟如何影响我们的工作。所以,how是正确的选择。


    从句子结构中不难看出,to accept the major change in work hours是实际上的主语,而此处需要一个形式主语,所以只能选择It。


    该句中的understanding既然是上句中提到的better understanding , C便是最佳的选项。其他三个选项均不符合语法。

    Life Expectancy in the Last Hundred Years
    A hundred years ago,life expectancy in developed countries was about 47;in the early 21 st century,men in the United States and the United Kingdom can expect to live to about 74,women to about 80, and these______(51)are rising all the time .What has brought______(52) these changes?When we look at the life______(53)of people 100 years ago,we need to look at the greatest______(54)of the time .In the early 20th century,these were the acute and of-ten______(55)infectious diseases such as smallpox.Many children died very young from these diseases and others,and the weak and elderly were always at risk.
    In the______(56)world these diseases are far______(57)today,and in some cases have almost disappcarcd.A number of______(58)have led to this:improvements in sanita- tion and hygiene,the discovery and use of antibiotics,which______(59)bacterial diseases much less dangerous,and vaccinations______(60)common diseases.______(61), people's general health has improved with improvements in our general environment:cleaner air,better means of preserving food,better and warmer housing,and better understanding of nutrition.
    Genetically,we should all be able to live to about 85 but______(62)people do live longer today,there are still some big killers around that are preventing us from consistently reaching that age .The problems that affect people today are the more chronic illnesses,such as heart disease and strokes,and those______(63)by viruses,such as influenza and AIDS.Of course,cancer is a huge killer as well.In most cases these diseases affect______(64)people,but there are worrying trends in the developed world with problems such as obesity______(65)more heart disease and illnesses such as diabetes at younger ages.
    The killers today can be classed as"lifestyle diseases",which means that it may be possiblem to halt their progress.

    56._________
    A: developed
    B: less developed
    C: undeveloped
    D: developing

    答案:A
    解析:
    通过上下文可知此处应为“年龄”。


    bring ahout意为“带来”,bring in意为“赚取,实现”(一定利润),没有bring to这个短语,如果用with,此句话必须变成what has it hrought with these changes才符合语法,但意思就不符合文章了。


    life span是一个固定搭配,意为“寿命”。


    从下一句可以看出此处应指那些不治之症。


    本句举了天花的例子,下一句指出很多孩子死于这些病,所以此处应为一个表严重的词。high是形容词,不能修饰后面的形容词。acute不是比较级,所以and后面也不应用比较级。


    本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失,通过常识得知应该是发达国家。


    本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失,整段都在说明情况好转,故选C。


    冒号后面列举的内容不能统一用其他几个词概括,只能用factor。


    注意这里的which不是非限制定语从句中指代前面一句话的作用,而是指代前面两项内容:卫生的改善和杭生素的发明使用,所以which后的动词不用单三形式。cause 没有这样的语法搭配。


    该选项为固定搭配,意为对某种疾病的预防接种。


    前面说的是对疾病的防范和控制加强,后面说的是整体环境的改善,两者为并列关系,但是And在书面语中不能这样使用,所以只能选in addition。


    整句话的意思是:从基因角度看,人都能活到85岁,但是虽然现在人们寿命确实比以前长了,仍然有一些疾病使得我们不能都活到那个岁数。所以此处应该填一个转折副词。


    those指代流感和艾滋病等靠病毒传播的疾病,those后面的动词是过去分词作定语。spread的过去分词与原形相同。


    本句最后指出一些病越来越年轻化,所以此处应选择younger的反义词。


    obesitv是心脏病和糖尿病年轻化的重要原因,它和心脏病、糖尿病不是并列关系,而是因果关系,所以选择leading to,现在分词作结果状语。

    51._________
    A: animals
    B: plants
    C:humans
    D: scientists

    答案:B
    解析:
    从后半句when to form flowers and when flowers should open知道,只有plants才有花。前面没有定冠词修饰的plants是泛指植物这一大类,与动物类相对应。


    后面出现的when to leave the protective cocoons and fly away提示我们,唯有选in-sects才是正确的,因为只有insects才有protective cocoons,而birds、 fish和snakes都没有。


    affect作为动词是“影响”的意思,而effect作为动词则是“使发生,使生效”的意思。这里谈论的是动植物生物钟的一般情况,所以使用动词的一般现在时。


    这里应使用介词短语,因为其后是名词。because和since都有“因为”的意思,但它们都是连词,用来引导原因状语从句,for the reason that后接句子,所以也不是答案。


    根据下句中的in the longer hours of daylight in summer和上句中的the number of hours of daylight,以及该段的中心思想,可以判断,应选择B,因为冬天日短夜长,夏天则反之。


    本句中有birds , migration这些词,下一句又谈及迁徒飞行前的躁动不安,就知道应该填词义为“飞行”的名词。fly是动词,不能选择;其他两个选项也都不合适。flight是 fly的名词形式,所以是合适的选择。


    该句句子的主干是:主语birds,谓语become restless。所以,所填的词是过去分词,修饰birds。从上下文表达的意思判断,ordered by(被命令)、he1ped by(被帮助)和in- truded on(被强加)都不匹配,只有prevented from是合适的选择。


    很明显,这里需使用连词,连接该句中平行的两个分句。而根据整个句子的句意,上半句和下半句形成反差对比:become restless when the time of the flight has ended,所以应选择 but,表示相反的两层意思。


    portion是“一定数量,一份”, section是“切下的部分”, kind是“种类”,都不符合上下文意思连贯的要求。唯有B是正确的选项。


    不能选择C,因为主语是group,而不是cells,所以要采用动词的第三人称单数形式 seems 。 A和B不符合常识。


    These一词说明,其后名词是上文已经提到的某些事物,即cells。从下文中可以看出,尽管actions一词也在上文中出现,但该词不符合句意。选项A和B意思不准确。


    该句中的三个宾语都是带疑问副词的动词不定式,所以都要用动词原形。awaken 是唯一合适的选择,woke是wake的一般过去形式,awakening是形容词,wake-up是名词。


    studying后面是一个从句作它的宾语,而从句起首处应有个连词。把C或D填入空格,上下文意思不连贯。根据下文的例子,作者讨论的不是生物钟为什么会影响我们的工作,而是生物钟如何影响我们的工作。所以,how是正确的选择。


    从句子结构中不难看出,to accept the major change in work hours是实际上的主语,而此处需要一个形式主语,所以只能选择It。


    该句中的understanding既然是上句中提到的better understanding , C便是最佳的选项。其他三个选项均不符合语法。

    51._________
    A: taken
    B: made
    C: put
    D: done

    答案:B
    解析:
    固定搭配make fortune,意为“制造财富,发财”,因此选B。其他三项均不合适。


    这里应该是一个由what引导的从句为主语的句子,表示“使得 Ben的故事更引人注意的是……”,其他三项均无法引导该从句。


    根据句意,是Ben被告知,因此选项told为正确答案。said意为“被说”,suggested 意为“被建议”,reported意为“被报道”,均不合句意。


    联系上下文,了解到本句表达的是Ben曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写,而不是完全无法读写,因此properly才符合句意。absolutely表示“完全地,绝对地”,totally表示“完全地”,thoroughly表示“彻底地,完全地”,均不合句意。


    根据句意,很容易了解Ben是要证明他们对他的判断错了,而不是说他们的判断是假的、不真实的,或者不公平的,所以wrong是正确答案。


    固定搭配。be used to意为“被用来做”。因此A项正确。


    根据句意,易知文中要表达的是“虽然他不能阅读使用指南”,因此unable为正确答案。impossible表示“不可能的”,incapable表示“无能力的”,一般形容不能胜任的; disabled表示“有残缺的”。


    根据句意,易知文中要表达的是在爸爸的鼓励下。若用promised则表示在爸爸的承诺下,invited则是在爸爸的邀请下,animated表示“有生气的”,均不符合句意,因此 encouraged为正确答案。


    根据句意,“ Ben很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费——每小时10英镑”,只有 charge符合句意。


    联系上下文,根据句意, Ben创建了自己的公司——Quad Computer,固定搭配set up 表示“创建”,其他三项均不合适,所以选D。


    根据句意,Ben把所有的精力投入到公司经营当中,根据后面的介词to可知,只有 devote是正确答案。


    词组搭配。a couple of表示“一些”, few一般形容只需少量的几个,little形容不可数名词,文中要表达的是公司已经发展壮大,Ben需要雇用一些员工,因此只有couple符合句意。


    文中要表达的是雇用一些员工,使公司发展壮大。因此B项正确。


    固定搭配。overcome challenge,表示“克服困难,克服挑战”,因此选A。 overlook表示“不注意,忽视”, overtake表示“赶上”,overdo表示“把……做得过分”。


    根据句意,“价值2500万英镑的交易”,显然worth是正确答案。valuable表示“珍贵的,值钱的”, estimated表示“估计,预算”,priced表示“给……定价,附有定价的”。

    _________(51)
    A:taller
    B:better
    C:superior
    D:higher

    答案:D
    解析:
    前面的内容讲的是,体温要保持一定的稳定性,人的身体才会健康。由此可推断,体温过高或过低都说明人的身体出现了问题。结合选项可知选D。
    give off意为“发出,放出(气味、热等)";put off意为“推迟”;show off意为“炫耀”;keep off意为“使……远离”。结合句意应选A。
    前面简单提到我们的身体需要热量的时候就能产生热量,我们的身体变得太暖和的时 候就会很快地释放热量。根据上下文可知,这里是一个过渡的句子,意为“让我们看看这是怎 么工作的”。故选A。
    结合常识可知,当你感到冷的时候,会起鸡皮疙瘩。因此选D。
    make做;eat吃;work工作;jump跳。这里说的是如果你感到很冷,你必须要跳来跳去 来取暖。故选D。
    前面提到跳来跳去来取暖,那么接着肌肉就开始工作了。then表示“接着”,符合句意。
    结合常识可知,颤抖是不令人愉快的,且后面的句子中有prefer,因此应选B。
    put on意为“穿上”,符合句意。
    supply with意为“提供……”,为固定搭配,符合句意。
    more更多的;enough足够的;many很多little很少。此句意为:更多的身体热量用来蒸 发身体里的水分。因此选A。
    weather天气;climate气候;circumstance条件,状况;environment环境。结合句意应 选A。
    or否则;so that以便;but但是;and和。结合句意应选B。
    本句的意思是:你喜欢少运动是因为你的身体足够的暖和。因此选C。
    根据后面讲的夏天和冬天的感受可知,这里应选feel,
    结合上下文的意思可知,夏天人们喜欢躺在床上什么也不做,而在冬天人们通过运动 来取暖。由此可知,在冬天人们显得生机勃勃。

    _________(51)
    A:to
    B:for
    C:by
    D:of

    答案:B
    解析:
    for"为了······”。这句话的意思是为那些不想进行积极治疗的病人降低医疗成本开支。
    reducing“减少,降低”。上一段已指出这样做可以降低成本,A、B、D的意思与文章相反。
    provide“提供”。这句话的意思是量身定制一个治疗方案来保证我们提供给他想要的具体关怀。
    in many cases是固定搭配,意思是“在很多情况下”。
    result in“导致,造成”。没有A选项和C选项这样的固定搭配,D的意思是“由······引起”。
    positive“积极的”。这句与上文中的aggressive和下面段落中的aggressive 是同样的意思,即便不清楚aggressive的意思,也可以从上下文意思中可以分析出来,这句想说希望得到积极治疗的病人应该得到这样的治疗。
    asked在句中用的是被动语态,意为“被询问,被过问” 这句话的意思是很多病人不希望积极治疗,而且没有人问过他们的意愿。A选项“怀疑”,B选项“猜测”,C选项“要求”,都不太符合这里的意思。
    on“在······上”。这句话的意思是伯格曼和其同事正在癌症患者身上测试以病人为中心的关怀。
    suggested在这里用的是过去式,意为“建议”。这句话的意思是研究员们还建议,应该考虑改进医疗保险机制。B选项“知道”'C选项“承诺”,D选项“决定”,都与上下文意思不符。
    end“终点”。这句话根据上下文可以推测出想表达的意思是“在临终前”。
    deny“拒绝,拒绝给予”。这句话的意思是不拒绝希望获得积极治疗的人。 A、B、C意思不符。
    do这里代表的是“want it"。 C选项don't意思相反。are和is都是be动词的变形。这里want是实义动词,代替实义动词应该用do。
    spent是spend的被动语态,意思是“花悄,花费”。这句话的意思是每年 30%的医疗保险费花费在5%的受益人身上。C选项意为“浪费”,含贬义,这里没有说钱花在临终病人身上就是浪费,应选择中性词。
    happen“发生,产生”。这句话的意思是生命最后一年的1/3的成本开支是在最后一个月发生的。
    by的用法很多,其中一个用法是表示增减的幅度。这句话的意思是在生命最后一周降低36%的成本。

    问答题
    Practice 1  Heat loss by sweating depends on the fact that when a liquid evaporates, it absorbs an enormous quantity of heat from its surroundings. Therefore, when I am of sweat evaporate, a great deal of heat is absorbed from the surface of the body in contact with it. 1______  2______ The first is the amount of movement of air surrounding the body. The second is the amount of water vapor in the air that surrounds the body.  3______ For this reason, sweat evaporates very rapidly on windy days, and the rate of heat loss by sweating is much more than on a still day. This accounts for the fact that hot still days are much less comfortable than hot windy days. In contrast, the sweat evaporates very rapidly on hot windy days, and cools the body quickly and effectively.  4______ When air is carrying the maximum amount of water vapor that it can hold, it is said to be 100% saturated with water vapor. The relative humidity of the air is said to be 100%. Under these conditions the air cannot carry any water, so no water can evaporate. When the relative humidity is high, therefore, sweat cannot evaporate. Instead, it forms large drops and runs off your skin without cooling you.  5______ It is obvious that under these conditions, evaporation will be much more rapid. Therefore, sweating will be much more effective as a method of losing heat from the body. On a hot dry day, sweat evaporates as soon as it is formed, and you feel reasonably cool even though the temperature of your environment is very high.[A] When the air is very dry and carries no water at all, the relative humidity is said to be 0%.[B] The second factor is the amount of water vapor in the air-the humidity.[C] Hot windy days are much more comfortable than hot still days.[D] This heat transfer occurs even if the environment is hotter than the body.[E] When air moves over the surface of water, the amount of evaporation is greatly increased.[F] You might expect the highest incidence of a heat stroke when the maximum temperature is 100 and humidity is 50%.[G] Two factors affect the rate of evaporation of sweat, and therefore the effectiveness of sweating as a method of cooling the body.

    正确答案: 1.D 空前说“出汗能散热是因为液体蒸发的时候可以带走周围大量的热量。所以当我出汗时,大量的热量被从身体表面吸走了”。D项说“即使周围温度笔体温高时,热量传递也是可以进行的”。符合逻辑关系。故选D。
    2.G 根据关键词“the first,the second”可知,本段讲的是两大因素。G项说“影响汗水蒸发的因素有两个”。符合逻辑关系。故选G。
    3.E 本段讲的是空气流动情况下汗水的蒸发状况。E项说“当空气在水的表面流动时,蒸发量大为增加”。符合文意。故选E。
    4.B 本段讲的是湿度对蒸发的影响。故选B。
    5.A 倒数第二段说“当湿度是100%时,蒸发就不能进行了”。最后一段说“在这种情况下,蒸发速度很快”。说明空处讲的是湿度很低的情况。故选A。

    Malnutrition
    "Much of the sickness and death attributed to the major communicable diseases is in fact caused by malnutrition which makes the body less able to withstand infections when they strike",said Dr.Hiroshi Na-kajima,Director-General of the World Health Organization(WHO),in his statement on the first day of the
    World Food Summit organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Rome,Italy,from 1 3 to 17 November,1996.
    "At the same time,"he added,"in developing countries today,malnutrition is the cause of 174 million children under five years of age being underweight,and 230 million being stunted in their growth.Such figures represent deprivation, suffering and wasted human potential on a scale that is unacceptable from every point of view.Whether we think in terms of humanitarian concern,common justice or development needs, they demand a response,both from national governments and from international community."
    At the end of January 1996,98 countries had national plans of action for nutrition and 41 countries had one under preparation,in keeping with their commitments made at the International Conference on Nutrition in Rome in December 1992.The global situation,however,remains grim.Over 800 million people around the world still cannot meet basic needs for energy and protein,more than 2 ,000 million people lack essential micronutrients,and hundreds of millions suffer from diseases caused by unsafe food and unbalanced diets.
    In sheer numbers,iron is the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency.Mainly women of reproduction' age and children under five are affected by iron deficiency with prevalence hovering around 50% in developing countries.Among various regions in the world,it is South Asia which is hit hardest with prevalence reaching 80% in some countries.Tn infants and young children even mild anemia is associated with impaired intellectual as well as physical development.In older children and adults iron deficiency reduces work capacity and output.
    It also leads to increased accidents at work.
    While there is no single remedy,a combination of several preventive approaches is believed to work best.Dietary improvement includes consumption of iron-and vitamin C-rich foods and foods of animal origin, and avoiding drinking tea or coffee with or soon after meals.Iron supplementation of foods,particularly of staple cereals,is practiced in a growing number of countries.Iron supplementation is the most common approach,particularly for pregnant women.

    How many countries have made plans of action for nutrition?

    U. S. 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(不平等的)access to medical care, because blacks
    are more likely to have other diseases as well,and perhaps because of differences in the
    biology(生物学)of the cancer itself, the report added.
    "In general,black Americans have less hope 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 black Americans,this report recognizes that many of
    the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic
    differences and unequal access to medical care."
    The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups(体格检查)
    earlier,when cancer is more treatable,and it said more research is needed to see if
    biological differences play a role.
    "The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair
    social differences through public policy and education efforts,"the organization said in a
    statement.
    But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.
    "Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among
    black Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates(发生率),"said the report.

    Which may NOT be a reason for higher cancer death rates among US blacks?
    A:Unequal access to medical care.
    B:Greater probability of having other diseases.
    C:Differences in the biology of the cancer.
    D:Early diagnosis.

    Life Expectancy in the Last Hundred Years
    A hundred years ago,life expectancy in developed countries was about 47;in the early 21 st century,men in the United States and the United Kingdom can expect to live to about 74,women to about 80, and these______(51)are rising all the time .What has brought______(52) these changes?When we look at the life______(53)of people 100 years ago,we need to look at the greatest______(54)of the time .In the early 20th century,these were the acute and of-ten______(55)infectious diseases such as smallpox.Many children died very young from these diseases and others,and the weak and elderly were always at risk.
    In the______(56)world these diseases are far______(57)today,and in some cases have almost disappcarcd.A number of______(58)have led to this:improvements in sanita- tion and hygiene,the discovery and use of antibiotics,which______(59)bacterial diseases much less dangerous,and vaccinations______(60)common diseases.______(61), people's general health has improved with improvements in our general environment:cleaner air,better means of preserving food,better and warmer housing,and better understanding of nutrition.

    The killers today can be classed as"lifestyle diseases",which means that it may be possiblem to halt their progress.

    51._________
    A: countries
    B: lives
    C: years
    D: ages

    答案:D
    解析:
    通过上下文可知此处应为“年龄”。


    bring ahout意为“带来”,bring in意为“赚取,实现”(一定利润),没有bring to这个短语,如果用with,此句话必须变成what has it hrought with these changes才符合语法,但意思就不符合文章了。


    life span是一个固定搭配,意为“寿命”。


    从下一句可以看出此处应指那些不治之症。


    本句举了天花的例子,下一句指出很多孩子死于这些病,所以此处应为一个表严重的词。high是形容词,不能修饰后面的形容词。acute不是比较级,所以and后面也不应用比较级。


    本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失,通过常识得知应该是发达国家。


    本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失,整段都在说明情况好转,故选C。


    冒号后面列举的内容不能统一用其他几个词概括,只能用factor。


    注意这里的which不是非限制定语从句中指代前面一句话的作用,而是指代前面两项内容:卫生的改善和杭生素的发明使用,所以which后的动词不用单三形式。cause 没有这样的语法搭配。


    该选项为固定搭配,意为对某种疾病的预防接种。


    前面说的是对疾病的防范和控制加强,后面说的是整体环境的改善,两者为并列关系,但是And在书面语中不能这样使用,所以只能选in addition。


    整句话的意思是:从基因角度看,人都能活到85岁,但是虽然现在人们寿命确实比以前长了,仍然有一些疾病使得我们不能都活到那个岁数。所以此处应该填一个转折副词。


    those指代流感和艾滋病等靠病毒传播的疾病,those后面的动词是过去分词作定语。spread的过去分词与原形相同。


    本句最后指出一些病越来越年轻化,所以此处应选择younger的反义词。


    obesitv是心脏病和糖尿病年轻化的重要原因,它和心脏病、糖尿病不是并列关系,而是因果关系,所以选择leading to,现在分词作结果状语。

    51._________
    A:. by
    B: to
    C: on
    D:.at

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题的考点是固定搭配。此处表达的意思是“与环境相关的”,related to为固定搭配,意为“与……有关”。


    从文章第一句可以看出,文章的重点,即世界卫生组织今年“世界卫生日”的主题,是创建健康的环境。


    家庭、学校和社区应该是最安全的“地方”,可是,对儿童健康的最大威胁就存在于这些本该是最安全的地方。应选“地方”,而不是“机会”、“时间”或“岗位”。此句中的 “lurk”一词为不及物动词,意为“潜藏,潜在”。


    本题的考点是与up搭配的词组的区分。此句的意思应该是“每个孩子都具有在健康家庭、学校和社区成长的权利”。grow up意为“成长,长大”,stay up意为“醒着不睡”,pick up意为“好转,改善;重新开始”,get up意为“站起;起床”。


    此句谈及的是“我们的孩子们”,即“他们”。他们的未来取决于他们现在是否能享有良好的健康。


    短语to have something in one's hand表示“掌握某事”。此句的意思是“他们的未来掌握在我们手中”。


    本题的考点是名词risk的固定搭配。此句中“更加有效地工作”的目的应当是“减少我们的孩子们所面临的来自环境的危险”,“减少”用reduce。 run the risk ( of doing something)意为“冒自身危险做某事”;take a risk/risks意为“冒险做可能失败、有危险等的事”;二者都为固定词组。regard意为“注视;将某人(某事物)视为;留意”。


    从上一句可以看出,此处应填“面临”一词。face做动词,可以有“面对,面向、对付,应付、面临”等意思。


    从前后文可以看出,此处应填“水”这个词。drinking water意为“饮用水”。


    根据空白处前面的逗号可以看,此处应填一个能引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词来代替events一词。


    本题的考点是动词take的固定搭配。take place是固定搭配,意思是“发生”。take shape意为“成形;变得更有条理”,take orders from sb.意为“受命于某人,按某人之命做”。


    从下一句可以看到,此处应选“burden”一词。短语disease burden的意思是“病症负担”。bear the burden是常用搭配。另外,后一句中的the total burden of disease也是一个值得注意的提示。


    文章谈的是环境因素所造成的危害,所以此处应选“factors”一词。


    从本句的时态——现在完成时可以推断全句的意思,即“自从1950年以来,每年的 4月7日都庆祝世界卫生日”。


    前一句提到,“世界卫生组织每年都选择一个主题……”,此空白后面的短语首字母大写,显然代表主题,故应选“theme”。

    Sugar Accelerate the Process of Aging

    Sugar is widely used in our daily life to make food and drinks sweet,though too much intake of it may lead to diabetes.However,today's study found it also makes people get old faster. Rats that eat high levels of a natural sugar known as fructose seem to age faster than other rats.And the same could be true for people who eat too much sweet junk food,said Israeli researchers.
    Fructose,a substance found naturally in honey and fruit,is used widely in foods ranging from soft drinks to yogurt. But while its sweet taste is popular,the sugar could cause wrinkles and health problems,the researchers said.Dr. Moshe Werman and Boaz Levi of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology fed large amounts of fructose to laboratory rats.Writing in the Journal of Nutrition,they said the fructose-fed rats showed changes in the collagen of their skin and bones.
    Collagen,a fibrous protein found in connective tissue,bone and cartilage,basically holds the body together. The loss of collagen is what causes sagging and deep wrinkles in older people.
    The process affected,Werman's team said,is known as"cross linking"."Too much crosslinking reduces elasticity and makes the skin stiff and rigid,and these are the conditions that encourage wrinkled skin,"Werman said in a statement. He said the same could be true of people, although this has not been shown."Americans are eating more and more processed foods such as carbonated drinks,baked goods,canned fruits,jams and dairy products that contain fructose," Werman said.Other studies have shown that high fructose intake can affect how the body handles glucose and increases insulin resistance一which can both be important measures of the tendency toward diabetes.
    The rats Werman worked with were fed much more than the average adult person might eat in a day,which is standard in such experiments.The rats were 12.5 grams of fructose per kg(2.2 pounds)of weight every day for a year. To compare,a person weighing 154 pounds(70kg)who drinks a quart(liter)of cola consumes about 60 grams of fructose,or 0.8 grams per kg of body weight.

    According to the passage,people who eat too much sweet junk food will_______.
    A:slow down their process of aging
    B:more likely to get diabetes
    C:get heavier than others
    D:age faster than average people

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题是细节考查题。题干是:根据这篇短文,食用过多甜味垃圾食品的人会______。选D的依据是第一段第三句:" Rats that eat high levels of a natural sugar known as fructose seem to age faster than other rats一and the same could be true for people who eat too much sweet junk food , said Israeli researchers.”大量摄取一种叫做果糖的天然糖的老鼠,似乎比其他老鼠衰老得更快。对甜食吃得太多的人来说,情况也可能会是如此。所以,选项D比大多数人老得快,符合原文意思,是正确答案。
    本题是细节考查题。题干是:人们在哪里更容易找到果糖?选B的依据是第二段第一句:"Fructose...is used widely in foods ranging from soft drinks to yogurt.”果糖自然存在于蜂蜜和水果中,被广泛用于从饮料到酸奶的各种食品中。所以选项B软饮料和酸奶,是正确答案。
    本题考查上下文理解能力。题干是:导致老年人皮肤松弛和深度皱纹的原因是什么?依据是第三段第二句:" The loss of collagen is what causes sagging and deep wrinkies in older people.”胶原蛋白的丧失是导致老年人皮肤松弛和深度皱纹的原因。所以选项A 胶原蛋白的丧失,是正确答案。
    本题考查考生对上下文的理解能力。题干是:过多的交叉相连会导致什么?选择C为正确答案,依据是第四段第二句:" Too much cross-linking reduces elasticity and makes the skin stiff and rigid...”太多的交叉相连就会使皮肤降低弹性、发生硬化,所以选项C 皮肤降低弹性、发生硬化,是正确答案。
    本题是主旨考查题。题干是:你认为作者写这篇文章可能的目的是什么?选B的依据是题目“糖加快人的衰老进程”以及作者在文章中所分析的各种恶果。所以选项 B建议人们吃适量的糖,防止快速衰老,与原文主旨相符。

    How the Body Keeps the Same Temperature

    The temperature of your body should always be the same if you are fine,no matter whether the weather
    is hot or cold.That is why the doctor tests your temperature with a thermometer when you are sick.Normally,
    your body teniperature is ninety-eight point six degrees Fahrenheit.If it is_______(51)than that,it is a
    stire sign that something is wrong with your body.
    Your body keeps the same temperature all the time,because it balances the heat it produces and the

    this works.
    The heat of your body is given off chiefly through the skin.When you feel_______(54),your skin
    is tight and shows"goose flesh".When you feel chilly,you must_______(55)around to keep warm.
    _______(56)your muscles begin to work,bum up fuel and produce more heat.It is not_______(57)to

    hot,you feel tired and lazy.You do not care to work or play,but enjoy lying down and doing nothing. When
    you get out of door in winter,the cold air makes you feel_______(65).You want to run and play.

    _________(61)
    A:weather
    B:climate
    C:circumstance
    D:environment

    答案:A
    解析:
    前面的内容讲的是,体温要保持一定的稳定性,人的身体才会健康。由此可推断,体温过高或过低都说明人的身体出现了问题。结合选项可知选D。
    give off意为“发出,放出(气味、热等)";put off意为“推迟”;show off意为“炫耀”;keep off意为“使……远离”。结合句意应选A。
    前面简单提到我们的身体需要热量的时候就能产生热量,我们的身体变得太暖和的时 候就会很快地释放热量。根据上下文可知,这里是一个过渡的句子,意为“让我们看看这是怎 么工作的”。故选A。
    结合常识可知,当你感到冷的时候,会起鸡皮疙瘩。因此选D。
    make做;eat吃;work工作;jump跳。这里说的是如果你感到很冷,你必须要跳来跳去 来取暖。故选D。
    前面提到跳来跳去来取暖,那么接着肌肉就开始工作了。then表示“接着”,符合句意。
    结合常识可知,颤抖是不令人愉快的,且后面的句子中有prefer,因此应选B。
    put on意为“穿上”,符合句意。
    supply with意为“提供……”,为固定搭配,符合句意。
    more更多的;enough足够的;many很多little很少。此句意为:更多的身体热量用来蒸 发身体里的水分。因此选A。
    weather天气;climate气候;circumstance条件,状况;environment环境。结合句意应 选A。
    or否则;so that以便;but但是;and和。结合句意应选B。
    本句的意思是:你喜欢少运动是因为你的身体足够的暖和。因此选C。
    根据后面讲的夏天和冬天的感受可知,这里应选feel,
    结合上下文的意思可知,夏天人们喜欢躺在床上什么也不做,而在冬天人们通过运动 来取暖。由此可知,在冬天人们显得生机勃勃。

  • 第24题:

    问答题
    Practice 1  Modern intolerance, like ancient Gaul, is divided into three parts; the intolerance of laziness,  the intolerance of ignorance and the intolerance of self-interest.  The first of these is perhaps the most general. It is to be met with in every country and among all classes of society. It is most common is small villages and old-established towns, and it is not restricted to human beings. It is this particular variety of intolerance which makes parents shake their heads over the foolish behavior of their children, which has caused the absurd myth of “the good old days”; which makes savages and civilized creatures wear uncomfortable clothes; which fills the world with a great deal of superfluous nonsense and generally turns all people with a new idea into the supposed enemies of mankind.  The second variety is much more, serious. An ignorant man is, by the very fact of his ignorance, a very dangerous person. But when he tries to invent an accuse for his own lack of mental faculties, he becomes a holy terror. For then he erects within his soul a granite bulwark of self-righteousness and from the high pinnacle of this formidable fortress, he defies all his enemies to show cause why they should be allowed to live.  There remains as a third category the intolerance caused by self-interest. (Hendrik Willem Van Loon: Tolerance)

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    现代的不宽容如同古代的高卢人一样,可以分为三种:懒惰的不宽容,无知的不宽容及自私自利的不宽容。
    第一种可能是最普遍的现象。它可能会在任何一个国家的不同社会阶层中遇到,尤其是在荒凉偏僻的小乡村和年头久远的小镇子里见到的可能性就更大了,而且它绝不仅仅局限于人类社会。就是因为这类先入为主的种种不宽容,父母才会常常对自己孩子们不明智的举止大摇其头,甚至会荒谬地怀念那过去的好日子;这种不宽容还会使野蛮人和文明人都穿上不舒适的外套,会让这个世界充满无穷无尽愚不可及的废话,而且,它通常还会使所有满怀新思想的人变成人类共同的敌人。
    第二种宽容则有变本加厉之势。无知的人,就因为他的无知,便可能成为一个危险的人物。但是,如果他还竭尽全力地为自己智力匮乏找借口的话,那就无可救药了。因为他已在自己的内心深处建立了牢不可催的花岗岩堡垒,他深信自己绝对正确,并从高高在上、令人敬畏的要塞顶端公然向他所有的敌人开战,质问他们有何理由活在世上。
    剩下的就是第三种不宽容了,它是由人们的自私所引发的。
