Unit 4 EarthquakesⅠ.阅读理解APeople love cellphones，which is why nine in ten Americans own one.But does heavy use of cellphones pose a risk of cancer? This question has caused controversy for many years.A new study in rats now augments those concerns.Its data linked longterm，intense exposure to radiation from cellphones with an increased risk of cancer in the heart or brain.The results have yet to be confirmed，the authors note.Indeed，although the rat study found a link between cellphone radiation and cancer，it offers no clues to why such a link might exist，notes Jonathan Samet.He teaches preventative medicine and directs the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.Still，he calls the new study's findings “significant”．They could lead to studies researching how cellphone radiation might cause cancer，he says.Phone signals are relayed between cell towers and cellphones via radio waves.This radio frequency—or RF—radiation is a type known as nonionizing(非电离的)．Unlike Xrays，nonionizing radiation does not deposit enough energy into cells to release electrons from atoms or molecules，producing ions. So it tends to be far less harmful than ionizing radiation，such as Xrays.But that does not mean radio waves might not cause harm.In very large doses(量) this radiation will heat the body and cause tissuedamage.But it's not yet known what much lower RF levels might do，such as those from cellphone use.Five years ago，the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer，or IARC，concluded that cellpho ne use “is possibly carcinogenic (致癌的)”．Its conclusion was based on what little research data was available at that time.But notice that IARC was not certain.It said only that phone use might “possibly”cause cancer.So scientists at the National Toxicology Program，or NTP，investigated further.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 4 Earthquakes第一节阅读理解阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful，or they may be empty when aperson has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation mayalso show stubbornness, uneasiness，or worry.Silence maybe viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable；therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation.Persons in other cultural groupsvalue silence and view it as necessary for understanding aperson's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is abasic part of communicating among people, just as sometraditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore, when aperson from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenlystops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wantsthe listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.Forexample, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topicunder discussion.However, Mexicans may use silencewhen instructions are given by a person in authority ratherthan be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.Instill another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect，particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care－givers need to be aware of thepossible meanings of silence when they come across thepersonal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.1．What does the author say about silence in conversations?A．It implies anger.B．It promotes friendship.C．It is culture－specific.D．It is content－based.2．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A．The Chinese.B．The French.C．The Mexicans.D．The Russians.3．What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A．Let it continue as the patient pleases.B．Break it while treating patients.C．Evaluate its harm to patients.D．Make use of its healing effects.4．What may be the best title for the text?A．Sound and SilenceB．What It Means to Be SilentC．Silence to Native AmericansD．Speech Is Silver；Silence Is Gold第二节七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I'm awfully sorry，” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off.No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop. It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.11．The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ________．A．she might be recognizedB．asking for help looked sillyC．she was normal and independentD．being found blind was embarrassing12．After the girl got off the bus that evening, she________．A．began to runB．hit a person as usualC．hit a lamppost by accidentD．was caught by something13．At the request stop that evening, the girl________．A．stopped a big lorryB．stopped the wrong busC．made no attempt to stop the busD．was not noticed by other people14．What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus? A．Other vehicles also stopped there.B．It was unreliable for making judgments.C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.BPhil Moriarty, one of the most successful American swimming and diving coaches and a legend at Yale, died on Saturday in Connecticut, US.He was 98.Moriarty, who coached the United States diving team at the Rome Olympics in 1960, helped train some of his time's greatest swimmers, among them the Olympic gold medalists Don Schollander, Steve Clark, Mike Austin, John Nelson and Jeff Farrell.He also coached Olympic diving champions like Bob Clotworthy and David Browning.In 1960, Moriarty's divers won two gold and four silver medals in Rome.Moriarty had been the diving coach at Yale since 1939 when, in 1959, he succeeded Bob Kiphuth as the swimming team coach.“When I came to Yale，” Clark said, “I was a restless little boy depending on blazing speed and luck.I matured with Phil so that he didn't have to hold my hand.He let me grow and gave me confidence.”Philip Edward Moriarty was born on April 12, 1914, in New Haven.He graduated from high school in 1932. Though he did not have a college degree, he got a job teaching swimming to Yale students of his age.He also designed a revolutionary starting block that allowed backstrokers(仰泳运动员)to avoid pushing off a slippery wall.It was successful in the United States, but after three years the international federation refused to approve it．Moriarty promoted backstroke as healthy recreation for the young.When municipal authorities proposed closing public swimming pools to save money in 2008, he opposed the idea in a letter to The Stuart News, a Florida newspaper, saying athletics can help prevent youths from falling into gangs (帮派)and drifting into crime.“The only gangs on swimming teams are relay teams，”he wrote.“The only gun they see is the starter's pistol (发令枪), pointed upward, not at someone.”15．Paragraph 2 is mainly developed ________．A．by time B．by spaceC．by examples D．by comparison16．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________．A．the use of a starting block for swimmersB．the admittance of backstroke style into the OlympicsC．the acceptance of Moriarty as a swimming judgeD．the practice of pushing off a slippery wall17．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．There are criminal relay gangs on swimming teams.B．Moriarty trained a group of swimming champions like Browning. C．Moriarty had performed as a diving coach since 1939 in Kiphuth's place.D．In Moriarty's opinion, athletics can help the youths grow up healthily in society.18．The passage is probably written to ________．A．take a different look at Moriarty's legendary lifeB．advocate promoting swimming among the youthsC．inform readers of Moriarty's death and achievementsD．describe a few swimming and diving medalists at the OlympicsⅢ.完成句子19．A meteor exploded over Russia's Ural Mountains.
