1、Better Control of TB Seen if a Faster Cure is FoundThe World Health Organization estimates that about one-third of all people are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis. Most times, the infection remains inactive. But each year about eight million people develop active cases of TB, usually in their lungs. Two million people die of it. The disease has increased with the spread of AIDS ａｎｄ　drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. Current treatments take at least six months. Patients have to take a combination of several antibiotic drugs daily. But many people stop as soon as they feel better. Doing that can lead to an infection that resists treatment. Public health experts agree that a faster-acting cure fｏｒtuberculosis would be more effective. Now a study estimates just how effective it might be. A professｏｒof international health at Harvard University led the study. Joshua Salomon says a shorter treatment program would likely mean not just more patients cured. It would also mean ______ infectious patients who can pass on their infection to others. The researchers developed a mathematical model to examine the effects of a two-month treatment plan. They tested the model with current TB conditions in Southeast Asia. The scientists found that a two-month treatment could prevent about twenty percent of new cases. ａｎｄ　it might prevent about twenty-five percent of TB deaths. The model shows that these reductions would take place between two thousａｎｄ　twelve ａｎｄ　two thousａｎｄ　thirty. That is, if a faster cure is developed ａｎｄ　in wide use by two thousａｎｄ　twelve. The World Health Organization developed the DOTS program in nineteen ninety. DOTS is Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course. Health workers watch tuberculosis patients take their daily pills to make sure they continue treatment. Earlier this year, an international partnership of organizations announced a plan to expａｎｄ　the DOTS program. The ten-year plan also aims to finance research into new TB drugs. The four most common drugs used now are more than forty years old. The Global Alliance fｏｒTB Drug Development says its long-term goal is a treatment that could work in as few as ten doses.【单选题】

A.many

B.more

C.few

D.fewer

正确答案:D

答案解析:前句说到更多病人可以被治愈，根据推理，后句应该是“将感染传递给别人的传染病人就会更少”，因为前后两句实际上具有因果关系。这里必须用比较级fewer，因为few是表示“不多的，几乎没有的(=not many)”，而fewer则只是与以前比较“更少”，并没有明确多少。

2、Animal\'s "Sixth Sense"A tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean in December, 2004. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia ａｎｄ　East Africa, Wild animals, however, seem to have escaped that terrible tsunami. This phenomenon adds weight to notions that they possess a "sixth sense" fｏｒdisasters, experts said.Sri Lankan Wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island\'s coast clearly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found."No elephants are dead, not even a dead rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening" H. D. Ratnayake, deputy directｏｒof Sri Lanka\'s Wildlife Department, said about one month after the tsunami attack. The waves washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inlａｎｄ　at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka\'s biggest wildlife reserve ａｎｄ　home to hundreds of wild elephants ａｎｄ　several leopards."There has been a lot of ______ evidence about dogs barking ｏｒbirds migrating before volcanic eruptions ｏｒearthquakes. But it has not been proven," said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviｏｒassistant at Johannesburg Zoo. "There have been no specialist studies because you can\'t really test it in a lab ｏｒfield setting," he told Reuters. Other authorities concurred with this assessmetn."Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenmenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters," said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell ｏｒhearing to avoid danger such as predators. The notion of an animal "sixth sense" -ｏｒsome other mythical power-is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lanka\'s ravaged coast is likely to add to. The Romans saw owls as omens of impending disaster ａｎｄ　many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special powers ｏｒattributes.【单选题】

A.experimental

B.apparent

C.scientific

D.chemical

正确答案:B

答案解析:下一句说，这些迹象并没有被证实。因此，这些迹象不可能是scientific的，而experimental和chemical的词义与上下文不配合，因此也不是答案。只有apparent（明显的）与上下文的意思相配。

3、Seeing Red Means Danger AheadThe colｏｒred often means danger ａｎｄ　by paying attention, accidents can be prevented. In the future, the colｏｒred also may help prevent danger at construction sites. Thanks to new work by engineers, bridge supports ｏｒother kinds of materials, could one day contain a colｏｒ- changing material. It will turn red before a structure collapses ｏｒfalls apart.The secret behind the colｏｒ- changing material is a particular type of molecule (分子). A molecule is aｇｒｏｕｐof atoms (原子) held together by chemical bonds. Molecules come in all shapes ａｎｄ　sizes ａｎｄ　make up everything you can see, touch ｏｒfeel. How a molecule behaves depends on what kinds of atoms it contains ａｎｄ　how they\'re held together.When a polymer (聚合物) containing a colｏｒ- changing molecule called a mechanophore (机械响应性聚合物) is about to break, it produces a color. When a polymer with mechanophore molecules becomes "injured" ｏｒweak, one of the mechanophore bonds _____ ａｎｄ　the material turns red. "It\'s a really simple detection method," says Nancy Sottos, one of the scientists who worked on the project. Sottos ａｎｄ　her team tested the colｏｒ- changing polymers in their lab. The test results proved encouraging.There is a way to get rid of the red colｏｒlight. When a bright light is shone on the mechanophore, the broken bond is fixed ａｎｄ　the red colｏｒdisappears. Thus "self - healing" may be a problem fｏｒengineers. They need to use the colｏｒ- changer in big construction projects that will be outside, under sunlight. ａｎｄ　sunlight will make the mechanophore\'s warning system useless.Sottos ａｎｄ　her fellow scientists still have a lot of work to do before the colｏｒ- changing molecules can be used outside the lab.【单选题】

A.closes

B.breaks

C.increases

D.burns

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，关键在理解好文章上下文意义，文章此处要表达的是“断开”的意思，答案是B。

4、What Is the Coolest Gas in the Universe?What is the coldest air temperature ever recorded on the Earth? Where was this low temperature recorded? The coldest recorded temperature on Earth was - 91℃, which occurred in Antarctica (南极洲) in 1983.We encounter an interesting situation when we discuss temperatures in space.Temperatures in Earth orbit actually range from about +120℃ to - 120℃. The temperature depends upon _____ you are in direct sunlight ｏｒshade. Obviously, -120℃ is colder than our body can safely endure. Thank NASA science fｏｒwell, de signed space suits that protect astronauts from these temperature extremes.The space temperatures just discussed affect only our areal of the solar system. Obviously, it is hotter closer to the Sun ａｎｄ　colder as we travel away from the Sun. Astronomers estimate temperatures at Pluto are about - 210℃. How cold is the lowest estimated temperature in the entire universe? Again, it depends upon your location. We are taught it is supposedly impossible to have a temperature below absolute zero, which is - 273℃, at which atoms do not move. Two scientists, whose names are Cornell ａｎｄ　Wieman, have successfully cooled down a gas to a temperature barely above absolute zero. They won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 fｏｒtheir work, not a discovery, in this case.Why is the two scientists\' work so important to science?In the 1920s, Satyendra Nath Bose was studying an interesting theory about special light particles we now call photons (光子). Bose had trouble convincing other scientists to believe his theory, so he contacted Albert Einstein. Einstein\'s calculations helped him theorize that atoms would behave as Bose thought—but only at very cold temperatures.Scientists have also discovered that ultra - cold(超冷) atoms can help them make the world\'s atomic clocks even more accurate. These clocks are so accurate today they would only lose one second every six million years! Such accuracy will help us travel in space because distance is velocity times time 4 ( d = v×t). With the long distances involved in space travel, we need to know time as accurately as possible to get accurate distance.【单选题】

A.whether

B.where

C.what

D.when

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大，考查whether or的用法，答案干扰项干扰不大。可以先看选项得到信息提示。很明显，此处是whether or结构，是说“温度（的多少）取决于你是否在阳光下或阴影里”，答案是A。

5、Breastfeeding Can Cut Cardiovascular RiskBreastfeeding can reduce the risk of a heart attack ｏｒstroke later in life ａｎｄ　could prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, researchers said on Friday. Babies who are breastfed have fewer childhood infections ａｎｄ　allergies ａｎｄ　are less ______ to obesity. British scientists have now shown that breastfeeding ａｎｄ　slow growth in the first weeks ａｎｄ　months of life has a protective effect against cardiovascular disease. "Diets that promote more rapid growth put babies at risk many years later in terms of raising their blood pressure, raising their cholesterol ａｎｄ　increasing their tendency to diabetes ａｎｄ　obesity-the four main risk factors fｏｒstroke ａｎｄ　heart attack." said ProfessｏｒAlan Lucas of the Institute of Child Health in London. "Our evidence suggests that the reason why breast-fed babies do better is because they grow more slowly in the early weeks."Lucas said the effects of breastfeeding on blood pressure ａｎｄ　cholesterol later in life are greater than anything adults can do to control the risk factors fｏｒcardiovascular disease, other than taking drugs. An estimated 17 million people die of cardiovascular disease, particularly heart attack ａｎｄ　strokes, each year, according to the World Health Organization. Lucas ａｎｄ　his colleagues compared the health of 216 teenagers who as babies had either been breastfed ｏｒgiven different nutritional baby formulas\' They reported their findings in The Lancet medical journal. The teenagers who had been breastfed had a 14 percent lower ratio of bad to good cholesterol ａｎｄ　lower concentrations of a protein that is a marker fｏｒcardiovascular disease risk. The researchers also found that regardless of the child\'s weight at birth, the faster the infants grew in the early weeks ａｎｄ　months of life, the greater was their later risk of heart disease ａｎｄ　stroke. The effect was the same fｏｒboth boys ａｎｄ　girls. "The more human milk you have in the newborn period, the lower your cholesterol level is, the lower your blood pressure is 16 years later, "Lucas said. 【单选题】

A.likely

B.possible

C.easy

D.prone

正确答案:D

答案解析:因为空白后跟的是介词to，能和介词to搭配使用的只有prone。
