questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A69-year-old grandmother with no teeth of her own has eventually won a long legal battle to stop a Scottish regional council(政务委员会)adding fluoride(氟化物)chemical to the public water supply.In a case which has already cost the taxpayer￡1,000,000the judge ruled that it was beyond the powers of the local authority to add the chemical to the water in order to reduce tooth decay.At her home last night Mrs Catherine McColl said“I did what I thought was right and I would do itagain too."She claimed that adding fluoride to public drinking water made it into some kind of dirty soup.“Where would it stop?”she asked.“They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep the unemployed quiet.”It was a horrible poison she said that could have caused all kindsof diseases including cancer.The judge however concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that the inclusion of fluoride inthe water supply would have had a negative effect on public health.Although the chemical might serve asan efficient and convenient means of achieving a beneficial effect on the dental health of consumers generally he said and its use was greatly favoured by the dental profession he could also understand why some members of the public Mrs.McColl in particular might be passionately opposed to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the right to improve public well-being without consulting thepublic in the first case.The Authority's legal duty to provide“wholesome”water for public consumptionwhich was both safe and pleasant to drink did not he said extend to their right to safeguard public healthby chemical means.56.Mrs.McColl felt so strongly about the fluoride issue that she eventually________.A.took the local council to courtB.had a physical fight with the judgeC.urged the authority to apologizeD.spent much money removing the chemical57.According to what the judge said in the passage adding fluoride to the water________.A.was not proved to be harmfulB.was the duty of the local authorityC.was strongly opposed by dentistsD.was surely beneficial to the public58.The word"wholesome"in the last paragraph can be best replaced by the word"________".A.clearB.non-poisonousC.healthyD.recycled59.From the passage we learn that people like Mrs McColl are more concerned about________.A.the improvement of their personal healthB.the problem of unemployment in their communityC.the chemicals to be used for the improvement of water qualityD.their right to be informed of the authorities'decisions(B)Home Laundry Automatic Dryer ProductFull Two Year Warranty（保修）Limited Five Year Warranty on Cabinet（机箱）Warranty Provides for：FIRST TWO YEARS Amana will repair or replace any faulty part free of charge.THIRD THRU FIFTH YEARS Amana will provide a free replacement part for any cabinet which proves faulty due to rust（生锈）.Warranty Limitations：•Warranty begins at date of original purchase.•Applies only to product used within the United States or in Canada if product is approved by Canadian Standards Association when shipped from factory.•Products used on a commercial or rental basis not covered by this warranty.•Service must be performed by an Amana servicer.•Adjustments covered during first year only.Warranty Does Not Cover It If：•Product has damage due to product change,connection to an improper electrical

normal service charges,if servicer is requested to perform service outside servicer^normal business hours.In no event shall Amana be responsible for consequential damages（间接损坏）.This warranty gives you specific legal rights,and you may have others which vary from state to state For example,some states do not allow the exclusion（排除）or limitation of consequential damages,so this exclusion may not apply to you.62.Which of the following is true according to the warranty?A.Consequential damages are excluded across America.Is growth good for biodiversity（生物多样性）?To answer the question,it is critical to define what we mean by growth.Is growth gross domestic product(GDP),the“monetary value of all the finished goods within a country’s borders”?Or does it mean improving the human standard of living?Today,when people say growth,they mean GDP,a measure that is over70years old.Actually GDP demonstrates negative implications for biodiversity,as this“growth”measures only money inflows while far more important is the balance sheet,which shows properties and debts.As biodiversity delivers no cash,it has no place in GDP system,but biodiversity provides the asset side of the balance sheet,such as forests,rivers,wetlands and animals--the list goes on.It is argued that growth is good for biodiversity in the long run as there is an environmental Kuznets curve where environmental conditions get worse in the early stages of modern economic growth,but improve once a growth level has been reached.According to some people,once GDP has been right,more resources are to invest in conservation,and new technologies are used to protect the nature.They said people would have more interest in protection the environment,and some of the forests started to return and many pollutants were almost eliminated.Standing in America today it might appear that the environmental Kuznets curve works.At first sight there appears to be a logic.Today the US GDP is increasing while many precious species populations are also recovering?Such conditions,according to some people,can be explained by greater efficiency in cars or more efficient agricultural production.But in fact,the majority of the negative impacts have simply been explored.The high-polluting industries have been outsourced to developing nations. Therefore the bitterest punishments are largely felt beyond the borders while we Americans are enjoying high GDP and selfish biodiversity at the same time.This can be seen in the WWF annual Report,where species population trends are increasing by7%in high-income countries and declining in middle-andlow-income countries by31%and60%respectively.It is self-evident that growth,as currently defined,has a major negative impact upon biodiversity. What needs to change is the definition of growth from a GDP-essential concept to a balance-sheet approach. Organizations and world community should work on creating new vision or reform that will help ensure a real balance between an improving standard of human life and a thriving biodiverse landscape.63.According to the passage,the author’s opinion toward GDP is that GDP.A.has nothing to do with biodiversity as it serves as an economic rulerB.shouldn’t have ignored biodiversity as it does good to balance sheetC.is out-dated as it leaves out productions outside a country’s bordersD.is useful economic indicators as it honestly follows the Kuznets curves64.The environmental Kuznets curve is seemingly working because.A.when US economy is strong,people have more interest in environment protectionB.high GDP helps to introduce high technology for environment protectionC.great fuel efficiency in cars and agriculture helps to protect environmentD.the US makes other weak nations take the harmful consequences65.The author’s main opinion about growth-biodiversity is that.A.There’s no clear relationship between growth and biodiversityB.Biodiversity condition agrees with a country’s economic growthC.Growth harms biodiversity with today’s GDP-centred systemD.The author is not sure about the exact influence of growth on biodiversity66.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.GDP focuses on balance sheet rather than monetary increase.B.Within borders,America is enjoying a better biodiversity right now.C.Many low-income nations are having a higher GDP growth than the U.S.D.Creative ways have been found to balance life standard and biodiversitySection CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.One reason that it’s urgent is that countries are sending more and more objects into space.B.There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see.C.Blowing up older satellites with a missile may create thousands of smaller pieces!D.In the upper parts of the atmosphere,it will burn up.E.When two objects in space collide,the two objects break into many smaller pieces.F.Years of space exploration have left tons of“space junk”in orbit around the planet.Many people know that trash is a big problem on planet Earth.What many people don’t know is that trash has become a problem in outer space too.(67)__________________________________Statistically,there are more than22,000pieces of junk in space around the earth.And these are just the items that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes or radars.(68) ______________________________Objects,like bits of old space rockets or satellites,move around the planet at very high speeds,so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to people,particularly astronauts.If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spacecraft,it could damage the vehicle.That’s because the faster an object moves,the greater the impact if the object collides with something else.To help minimize additional space junk,countries around the world have agreed to limit the time their space tools stay in orbit to25years.Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere,or the mass of gases that surround the earth,after that.(69)________________________________ Many scientists are also proposing different ways to clean up space junk.The Germans have been planning a space mission with robots that would collect pieces of space trash and bring them back to Earth so that they can be safely destroyed."In our opinion the problem is very challenging,and it's quite urgent as well,"said Marco Castronuovo,an Italian Space Agency researcher who is working to solve the problem.(70) _______________________________Many of these objects are tools that help people use their cell phones or computers."The time to act is now;as we go farther in time we will need to remove more and more fragments,"he says.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Curiosity Is an Increasingly Rare VirtueMost of the breakthrough discoveries and remarkable inventions throughout history,from flints(打火石)for starting a fire to self-driving cars,have something in common:They are the result of curiosity.But the journalist Ian Leslie,in his newly-published book Curious:The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It,insists that curiosity is a much overlooked human virtue,crucial to our success,and we are losing it.Leslie presents considerable evidence for the claim that the society as a whole is growing less curious. In the U.S.and Europe,for example,the rise of the Internet,among other social and technological changes, has led to a declining consumption of news from outside the reader’s borders.Indeed,Google,for which Leslie expresses admiration,is also his frequent whipping boy(替罪羊):we seek only the information we want.But not everything is to be blamed on technology.The decline in interest in literary fiction is also one of the causes identified by Leslie.Why is this a problem?Because without curiosity we will lose the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship(企业家精神).Worse still,that lack of curiosity produces a relative lack of knowledge, and the lack of knowledge is difficult if not impossible to compensate for later on.Fortunately,some strategies can be employed to develop curiosity:If you just accept the world as it is without trying to dig deeper,you will certainly lose the‘holy curiosity’.Of course,one effective way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions:What is that?Why is it made that way?Who invented it? How does it work?...And if you see learning as a burden,there’s no way you will want to dig deeper into anything.That will just make the burden heavier.But if you think of learning as something fun,you will naturally want to dig deeper.V.Translation(3+3+4+5=15)72.爷爷有点耳背，对他耐心一点。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AConfucius said , “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn, Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves."As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people, we can continuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is unique although they share some common principles.We can learn a lot from others . We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We can learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different.The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people's strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people' s lives.As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people' s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes.What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and make your own assessment ( 评估) and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary.56. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Confucius thought we should learn from othersB. It is by reflecting on the lessons learnt by others that we can improve ourselves.C. Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn.D. Reflecting upon other people's strengths and shortcomings can help us make fewer mistakes.57. The underlined part "this type of learning" in the fourth paragraph probably refers toA. learning from other people’s mistakesB. learning from others' experiencesC. finding what strengths and shortcomings other people haveD. reflecting others' strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves58. From the fifth paragraph, we learn that__A. sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendshipB. our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakesC. some reflection will help to improve ourselves.D. reflection will stop us from making any mistake s in life59. The passage is probably taken from_______.A. a magazine about lifeB. a book about travelC. an advertisementD. a research report60. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. How to improve oneself.B. How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon ourselves.C. How to learn from other people's strengths and shortcomings.D. How to reduce the mistakes in one' s life.BThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization, the first European to arrive was John Feam in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whalingship, He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for fanning. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil Then u takes away the material it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys die land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphateUnfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized dial they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was almost financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.61 What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru's problems.B. To give a warning to other countries.C. To show the importance of money.D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.62. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerful.B. Modem and open.C. Peaceful and attractive.D. Greedy and aggressive.63. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from______ .A. soil pollutionB. phosphate overminingC. farming activityD. whale hunting64. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the money.B. It spent too much repairing the island.C. Its phosphate mining cost much money.D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.65. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D. The phosphate mines were destroyed.CNow and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing in particular，” she replied. But for long I have been accustomed to such responses, and became convinced that the_seeing_see_little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I — who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry(对称) of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch(银桦树), or the rough bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening nature after her winter's sleep. I feel the delightful, smooth texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable swirl(旋动); and something of the miracle of nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a small tree and feel the happiness of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a stream rush through my open fingers. To me a rich carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug(波斯毛毯). To me the circle of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips. At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The whole picture of color and action filling the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light and the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather that as a means of adding fullness to life.66. What does the author imply by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?A. If one is always using his eyes, he would have poor eyesight.B. The sighted people sometimes fail to discover beautiful things.C. The blind people see no less than the sighted ones.D. When one tries to see, he always sees nothing.67. What can we know about the author according to the passage?A. She was blind.B. She was content with her situation now.C. She thought the gift of sight a great pity.D. She acquired information and knowledge only through touch.68. Which of the following is NOT an example given to show how the nature interests the author?A. The delicate symmetry (对称) of a leaf.B. The delightful, smooth texture of a flower.C. The happiness of a bird in full song.D. The most luxurious Persian rug.69. What does the author think is the reason why sighted people fail to discover the beauty of nature?A. That they long for that which they have not.B. That what they have is usually taken for granted.C. That the gift of sight is a means of adding fullness to life.D. That mere touch is the best way to discover and feel.70. What is the passage mainly about?A. It tries to prove that the seeing see little.B. It describes how wonderful the nature is.C. It tells people to protect their eyesight.D. It expresses some thoughts on feeling beauty and sight.PART FOUR WRITING (45’)SECTION A (10’)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.With all kinds of toothbrush and toothpaste ads everywhere, people have come to realize the importance of protecting teeth. "There is no decayed tooth(龋齿) for young children" has become the goal of all parents. Bad teeth may cause a lot of pain or even death. Infections of gums (牙龈) and teeth can release bacteria into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chances of a heart attack or stroke and worsen the effects of other disease.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. They say breast milk is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth. But dentists say you should clean your baby's gums and early teeth after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water.When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes specially made for babies. And use them very gently. The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. This natural element is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (牙釉质), the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming. But young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So young children should be carefully supervised when they brush their teeth. And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste, the size of a green pea, should be used. Parents often wonder about what effect thumb sucking or sucking on a pacifier (橡皮奶嘴) might have on their baby's teeth. Dental expertsgenerally agree that this is fine early in life. The American Academy of Family Physicians says most kids stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four. If it continues, the group advises parents to talk to their child's dentist or doctor. It could interfere with the correct development of permanent teeth.Dentists say babies should be examined when their first teeth appear --- usually at around six months. Healthy teeth are meant to last a lifetime. If parents pay attention to the above tips, young children’s teeth growing can be good and healthy.Title: How to Protect 71. _______________72. ____________No decayed tooth for young childrenEffects of badteethBad teeth can be 73. ____________________ .74.__________] on children’s good dental care ●Feeding with breast milk﹡breast milk --- the best food for the development of teeth﹡clean baby’s gums and early teeth after each feeding by 75. ______________ with a little warm water●Brushing children’s teeth﹡clean them with a wet toothbrush when a baby’s teeth begin to appear ﹡choose 76. ________________, soft toothbrushes and use them gently ﹡supervise young children carefully when they brush teeth to avoid 77. __________________﹡78. ________________ only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste ●Sucking the thumb or sucking on a pacifier﹡early in life: fine﹡79. __________: talk to children’s dentist or doctor●Having babies examined when their first teeth appearConclusion If parents pay attention to these tips, young children’s teeth can grow 80. _____________.Section B (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.It's strange that a man born on Labor Day has had to work so hard to succeed in life. Jacob seems like a normal person. He likes music, art and photography. His parents both got college degrees. He used to go to a beach house in Portland every summer. He is a big fan of Mexican food. Reading these facts about him may lead to the opinion that he had a great childhood. However, behind all of these is a past that would be terrible for many kids growing up.It started when he was only two years old. His parents divorced and then remarried. Going through elementary school and middle school, he was frightened a lot. This may have led to the worst thing that could have happened to a young man.He developed deep depression. Doing the smart thing, he talked to his parents about his problem. His parents decided that this issue was very serious and Jacob was admitted to West Hills Hospital. He stayed there for two weeks and had his depression diagnosed. Serious insomnia caused the problem.The solution was daily medication. The medication took care of Jacob's depression problem. However, it contained a substance with lithium(锂). The side effect he suffered from lithium was that he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that was on his plate. This led toa weight gain of 25 pounds while he was on medication. So he decided he had to lose some weight and stop the medication.Now he has lost a big part of the weight and he has managed to solve his problem he had in high school. Now he is a happy human being.Many people would have had a very hard time coming back from depression. Many people probably would have given up their dreams. But Jacob is not like this. He took what was a mess of his life and turned it around to become a great man and a person with a very bright future.81. When was Jacob possibly born according to the passage?

AShe may have lacked a home, but now this teen has top honors.A 17-year-old student who spent much of high school living around homeless shelters —and sometimes sleeping in her car —today graduated and spoke on behalf of her class at Charles Drew High School in Clayton County, Ga., just outside of Atlanta.Chelsea Fearce held a 4.466 GPA and scored 1900 on her SATs despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on cushions on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore,” she told WSBTV.Fearce, one of five children, grow up in a family that sometimes had an apartment to live in, but at other times had to live in homeless shelters or even out of their car, if they had one. “You’re worried about your home life and then worried at school. Worry about being a little hungry sometimes and go hungry sometimes. You just have to deal with it. You eat what you can, when you can.”To our surprise, Fearce overcame the difficulties and even tested high enough to be admitted into college half way through her high school career. She starts college next year at Spelman College as a junior where she is planning to study biology, pre-med (医学预科). “Don’t give up. Do what you have to do right now so that you can have the future that you want,” Fearce said.21. How did Fearce go on with her study without access to lights?A. By the car light.B. By her cellphone.C. By lights out of shelters.D. By moonlight.22. When Fearce starts college at Spelman College, she will _____..A. have graduated earlier from high school than normalB. be a 17-year-old student from a poor familyC. have a home without sleeping in her car or sheltersD. have raised enough money to go to college23. What lesson can we learn from Fearce’s experience?A. Knowledge can change your fate.B. Don’t give up, and tomorrow will be better.C. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.D. He that will not work shall not eat.BCan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays(紫外线) of the sun, which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.24. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People can’t change their skin colour without any pain.B. The new discovery helped find ways to change skin colour safely.C. Pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked.D. Scientists have found out that people’s skin colour is determined by the gene.25. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. nowadays changing the skin colour with the chemical treatment has bad effectB. Europeans and Africans have the same genesC. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancerD. there are two kinds of skin genes26. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.A. find the different genes of humansB. prove the humans’skin colour is determined by the pigment geneC. find out the reason why the Africans’skin colour is darkD. find out the ways of changing people’s skin colour27. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Michael Jackson died of skin damage caused by chemical treatment.B. American blacks produce more vitamin D with their skin than others.C. The gene determining skin colour exists widely in whites, blacks and Asians.D. The melanosomes in the skin of blacks usually cause skin cancer more often.CDrinking alcohol is a socially acceptable behavior in many parts of the world. Some medical experts say light drinking may even be good for your health, especially for the heart. But they say such health benefits should be compared to the many health risks connected with alcohol use. Some research suggests that having one to two drinks of alcohol a day may offer some health benefits. Several large studies have shown that this type of moderate(适量的) drinking may lower the risk of heart disease and other diseases.A study last year suggested that drinking small amounts of red wine may help lower the risk of breast cancer in women. Researchers at Medical Center in California studied 36 women. Each woman drank a glass of red or white wine every day for almost a month. Researchers collected blood samples from the women two times a month to measure their hormone(激素) levels. The next month the women who drank red wine were told to drink white wine instead. The white wine drinkers were told to drink red wine. The researchers found that the women who drank red wine had lower levels of the female hormone than the white wine drinkers. Theysaid red grapes have chemicals that may help to lower the risk of breast cancer.However, recent studies suggested that even small amounts of alcohol may generally increase the risk of breast cancer in women. They found that women who drink four small glasses of wine a week increase their risk of breast cancer by 15 percent.Many studies have examined the harmful effects of alcohol use on the body. Alicia Ann Kow alchuk serves as medical director, saying “Healthy use for adults --- that’s men under age 65 --- is no more than 4 drinks in a day and no more than 14 drinks in a week. And for women of all ages, it’s no more than 7 drinks in a week and no more than 2 dri nks in a day.” She says too much alcohol use has been linked to liver diseases, and many other cancers.28. How did the researchers carry out their study?A. By following an example.B. By listing facts.C. By collecting information worldwide.D. By comparing tested objects.29. Which of the following is the most beneficial to women with breast cancer?A. A glass of white wine per day.B. A glass of red wine per day.C. Small amounts of alcohol per day.D. Four small glasses of wine per day.30. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?31. What is the best title of this passage?A. Drinking alcohol is popular in many parts of the worldB. Alcohol drinking can be both good and bad for youC. Drinking alcohol a day may give your health some benefits.D. Alcohol drinking may do harm to your healthDWhy Advertise on EASYUNI? is an online destination for finding your dream university or college.
