Breast Cancer Deaths Record Low
The number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to a record low by dropping under 12,000 a
year for the first time since records began.
The Cancer Research UK data showed that 11,990 women died in the UK in 2007.
The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1 97 1一 the year records began一after which it rose
steadily year by year until the late 1980s.
Professor Peter Johnson,Cancer Research UK's chief clinician,said,"It's incredibly encouraging to see fewer
women dying from breast cancer now than at any time in the last 40 years,despite breast cancer being diagnosed
more often."
"Research has played a crucial role in this progress,leading to improved treatments and better
management for women with the disease."
"The introduction of the NHS（国民保健制度）breast screening program has also contributed as the
earlier cancer is diagnosed,women are more likely to survive."
Breast cancer is now the nost common cancer in the UK with 45,500 women every year diagnosed with
the disease一a 50% rise in 25 years.
The number of deaths peaked in 1989,when 15,625 women died.It then fell by between 200 and 400
deaths each year until 2004.
There was a slight rise in 2005 and then two years of falls.
Dr. Sarah Cant,policy manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer,said,"It is great news that fewer women
are dying from breast cancer and highlights the impact of improved treatments,breast screening and
awareness of the disease."
"However,there are still too many women affected and the incidence of the disease is increasing year by
year.,,
The rising rate of breast cancer diagnosis has been put down to a variety of factors including obesity
（肥胖）and alcohol consumption.

A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer
Post-menopausal（绝经后的）women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly,a study has suggested.The report,which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking.UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk.
A recent poll for the charity Ramblers found a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week, but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study,,published in Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73,615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group.
They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking , swimming and aerobics（有氧运动）and how much time they spent sitting,watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at, two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009.Of the women,47%said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14%lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.
Dr.Alpa Patel,a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atianta Georgia,who led the study,said:"Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking,promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity,just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women." " More strenuous（紧张的） and longer activities lowered the risk even more."
Baroness Delyth Morgan,chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign,said:"This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporated into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference."
She added:"We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place.The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer."Dr.Alpa Patel was______.
A:chief editor of Cancer Epidemiology
B:chair of the American Cancer Society
C:chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign
D:head of the survey study答案：D解析：本文主要讲述的内容为每周至少7个小时的散步能够降低女性患乳腺癌的几率。并且通过进行实验证明了这一点，最后还指出生活方式的变化对抑制乳腺癌的发生有重要的影响。

Screen Test
1 Every year millions of women are screened with X-rays to pick up signs of breast cancer. If this
happens early enough,the disease can often be treated successfully.According to a survey published last
year,2 1 countries have screening programs.Nine of them,including Australia,Canada,the US and Spain,
screen women under 50.
2 But the medical benefits of screening these younger women are controversial,partly because the
radiation brings a small risk of inducing cancer. Also,younger women must be given higher doses of X-rays
because their breast tissue is denser.
3 Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Valencia analyzed the effect of screening more than
160,000 women at 11 local clinics.After estimating the women's cumulative dose of radiation,they used
two models to calculate the number of extra cancers this would cause.
4 The mathematical model recommended by Britain's National Radiological Protection Board
(NRPB)predicted that the screening program would cause 36 cancers per 100,000 women,18 of them
fatal.The model preferred by the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation led to a lower
figure of 20 cancers.
5 The researchers argue that the level of radiation-induced cancers is"not very significant"compared
to the far larger number of cancers that are discovered and treated.The Valencia program,they say,detects
between 300 and 450 cases of breast cancer in every 100,000 women screened.
6 But they point out that the risk of women contracting cancer from radiation could be reduced by
between 40 and 80 percent if screening began at 50 instead of 45,because they would be exposed to less

Screen Test
1 Every year millions of women are screened with X-rays to pick up signs of breast cancer. If this
happens early enough,the disease can often be treated successfully.According to a survey published last
year,2 1 countries have screening programs.Nine of them,including Australia,Canada,the US and Spain,
screen women under 50.
2 But the medical benefits of screening these younger women are controversial,partly because the
radiation brings a small risk of inducing cancer. Also,younger women must be given higher doses of X-rays
because their breast tissue is denser.
3 Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Valencia analyzed the effect of screening more than
160,000 women at 11 local clinics.After estimating the women's cumulative dose of radiation,they used
two models to calculate the number of extra cancers this would cause.
4 The mathematical model recommended by Britain's National Radiological Protection Board
(NRPB)predicted that the screening program would cause 36 cancers per 100,000 women,18 of them
fatal.The model preferred by the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation led to a lower
figure of 20 cancers.
5 The researchers argue that the level of radiation-induced cancers is"not very significant"compared
to the far larger number of cancers that are discovered and treated.The Valencia program,they say,detects
between 300 and 450 cases of breast cancer in every 100,000 women screened.
6 But they point out that the risk of women contracting cancer from radiation could be reduced by
between 40 and 80 percent if screening began at 50 instead of 45,because they would be exposed to less
radiation.The results of their study,they suggest,could help"optimize the technique"for breast cancer
screening.
7 "There is a trade-off between the diagnostic benefits of breast screening and its risks," admits
Michael Clark of the NRPB.But he warns that the study should be interpreted with caution."On the basis of
the current data,for every 10 cancers successfully detected and prevented there is a risk of causing one later

第10题：
单选题阅读理解：请根据短文内容，为每题确定l个最佳选项。 A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer。 Post-menopausal（绝经后）women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly,a study has suggested. The report, which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking. UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk. A recent poll for the charity Ramblers a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week,but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study, published in Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73.615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group. They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking,swimming and aerobics（有氧运动）and how much time they spent sitting watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009. Of the women,47% said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week. Dr. Alpa Patel, a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, who led the study, said:”Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking, promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity, just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women.””More strenuous（紧张的）and longer activities lowered the risk even more.” Baroness Delyth Morgan, chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign,said:”This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporate into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference.” She added:”We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place. The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer.” It can be inferred from Dr. Alpa Patel’s study that____.Awomen have fewer chances of physical activity
Bdaily walking could cut the chance of breast cancer
Cleisure-time activity is not associated with cancer risk
Dwalking is not recommended for women with breast cancer
正确答案： B解析： 译文：从Dr. Alpa Patel’的研究中可以推论出________？
这是一道推论题，从题干部分的infer可以看出，相关的动词有：suggest, imply, conclude, indicate等都表示暗示、推导、总结、表明。选项往往表现为句子。
首先通过题干部分的关键信息，Dr. Alpa Patel’（不可被同义替换掉的人名、职位名称）找到相关的段落（extensive reading）然后通过结合选项当中的关键词（名词、动词、形容词、副词等）进行筛选，由于是推论题，往往没有直接的信息，会有同义替换（paraphrasing）
Dr. Alpa Patel, a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, who led the study, said:”Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking, promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women. We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity, just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women.””More strenuous（紧张的）and longer activities lowered the risk even more.”
简便的办法是找到本段的重复词语“walking”显然该研究围绕“walking”的问题展开，该段的中心意思是：散步时健康的休闲方式，可以大大降低妇女乳腺癌的可能性。因此B. daily walking could cut the chance of breast cancer最为符合该段的中心意思（paraphrasing: from specific examples to category）

Breast Cancer Deaths Record Low
The number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to a record low by dropping under 12,000 a
year for the first time since records began.
The Cancer Research UK data showed that 11,990 women died in the UK in 2007.
The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1 97 1一 the year records began一after which it rose
steadily year by year until the late 1980s.
Professor Peter Johnson,Cancer Research UK's chief clinician,said,"It's incredibly encouraging to see fewer
women dying from breast cancer now than at any time in the last 40 years,despite breast cancer being diagnosed
more often."
"Research has played a crucial role in this progress,leading to improved treatments and better management
for women with the disease."
" The introduction of the NHS（国民保健制度）breast screening program has also contributed as the
earlier cancer is diagnosed,women are more likely to survive."

单选题阅读理解：请根据短文内容，为每题确定l个最佳选项。 A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer。 Post-menopausal（绝经后）women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly,a study has suggested. The report, which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking. UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk. A recent poll for the charity Ramblers a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week,but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study, published in Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73.615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group. They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking,swimming and aerobics（有氧运动）and how much time they spent sitting watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009. Of the women,47% said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week. Dr. Alpa Patel, a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, who led the study, said:”Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking, promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity, just walking one hour a day was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women.””More strenuous（紧张的）and longer activities lowered the risk even more.” Baroness Delyth Morgan, chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign,said:”This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporate into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference.” She added:”We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place. The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer.” All of the following factors relating to cancer risk were mentioned in the EXCEPT________.Abreathing exercise
Bregular walking
Crecreational activity
Dlifestyle choices

BWalking was the only recreational activity for about half of the women.
CThe study aims to track the health conditions of its subjects.
DIrregular walking increased the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women
正确答案： C解析： 译文：根据本文，下列哪些说法是正确的？
由于题干部分没有可供定位的关键词信息，因此应通过选项当中的信息来定位。其中有三个选项的关键词都和“walking“相关，
Of the women,47% said walking was their only recreational activity.（A. Most women take walking as their only recreational activity. 不正确，不是大多数女人把散步当做唯一的休闲方式，而只有47%，）因此B. Walking was the only recreational activity for about half of the women.是最符合原文意思的。
