1、Smoking Can Increase Depressive Symptoms in TeensWhile some teenagers may puff on cigarettes to "self-medicate" against the blues, scientists at the University of Toronto ａｎｄ　the University of Montreal have found that smoking may actually increasedepressive symptoms in some teens."This observational study is one of the few to examine the perceived emotional benefits of smoking among teens," says lead researcher Michael Chaiton, a research associate at the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit of the University of Toronto." Although cigarettes may appear to have self-medicating effects ｏｒto improve mood, in the long term we found that teens who started to smoke reported higher depressive symptoms. "As part of the study, some 662 high school teenagers completed up to 20 questionnaires about their use of cigarettes to affect mood. Secondary schools were selected to provide a mix of French ａｎｄ　English participants, urban ａｎｄ　rural schools, ａｎｄ　schools located in high, moderate ａｎｄ　low socioeconomic neighborhoods. Participants were divided into three groups: never smokers; smokers who did not use cigarettes to self-medicate, improve mood ｏｒphysical state; smokers who used cigarettes to self-medicate. Depressive symptoms were measured using a scale that asked how felt too fired to do things: had trouble going to sleep ｏｒstaying asleep; felt unhappy, sad, ｏｒdepressed; felt hopeless about the future; felt vexed, antsy ｏｒtense; ａｎｄ　worried too much about things."Smokers who used cigarettes as mood improvers had higher risks of elevated depressive symptoms than teens who had never smoked," says co-researcher Jennifer O\'Loughlin, a professｏｒat the University of Montreal Department of Social ａｎｄ　Preventive Medicine. "Our study found that teen smokers who reported emotional benefits from smoking are at higher risk of developing depressive symptoms."The association between depression ａｎｄ　smoking exists ____ among teens that use cigarettes to feel better. "It\'s important to emphasize that depressive symptom scores were higher among teenagers who reported emotional benefits from smoking after they began to smoke," says Dr. Chaiton.【单选题】

A.occasionally

B.scarcely

C.probably

D.principally

正确答案:D

答案解析:调查的对象是青少年，所以不可能是occasionally（偶尔）、scarcely（几乎不）或probably。（很可能）在青少年之中，而是principally（主要）在青少年之中。

答案解析:emerge和appear都表示“出现、露面”；improve：增进、改善；conform:符合、顺应；respond:反应、回报。

3、Blasts from the Past1 Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history. Not because they were bigger, but because the carbon they released wiped out life with greater ease.2 Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigating the link between volcanic eruptions ａｎｄ　mass extinctions. Not all volcanic eruptions killed off large numbers of animals, but all the mass extinctions over the past 300. million years coincided with huge formations of volcanic rock. To his surprise, the older the massive volcanic eruptions were, the more damage they seemed to do.3 Wignall calculated the "killing efficiency" fｏｒthese volcanoes by comparing the proportion of life they killed off with the volume of lava that they produced. He found that size fｏｒsize, older eruptions were at least 10 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.4 The Permian extinction, fｏｒexample, which happened 250 million years ago, is marked by floods of volcanic rock in. Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe, Those volcanoes are thought to have pumped out about 10 gigatonnes of carbon as carbon dioxide, The global warming that followed wiped out 8 per cent of all marine genera at the time, ａｎｄ　it took 5 million years far tire planet to recover.5 Yet 60 million years ago in the late Palaeocene there was another huge amount of volcanic activity ａｎｄ　global-warming but no mass extinction. Some animals did disappear but things returned to normal within ten thousands of years, "The most recent ones hardly have an effect at all," Wignall says. He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous, 65 million years ago, because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid.6 Wignall thinks that older volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life forms were better adapted to dealing with increased levels of C02 Ocean chemistry may also have played a role. As the supercontinents broke up ａｎｄ　exposed more coastline there may have been more weathering of silica rocks. This would have encouraged the growth of phytoplankton in the oceans, increasing the amount of C02 absorbed from the atmosphere.7 Vincent Courtillot, directｏｒof the Paris Geophysical Institute in France, says that Wignall\'s idea is provocative. But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations. He points out that the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they fasted. ａｎｄ　it is impossible to tell whether the huge blasts lasted fｏｒthousands ｏｒmillions of years.8 Courtillot also adds that it is difficult to estimate how much lava prehistoric volcanoes produced, ａｎｄ　that lava volume may not necessarily correspond to carbon dioxide ｏｒsulphur dioxide emissions.Older eruptions were more devastating____.【单选题】

A.than more recent ones

B.the killing efficiency fｏｒolder eruptions

C.has remained controversial

D.Wignall\'s calculations as acceptable

E.has been mown to us all

F.his ideas

正确答案:A

答案解析:more recent ones较后来的火山爆发。填入后生成的句子不仅在语法上是正确的并且跟文章第一句话的意思差不多。

Paragraph 4____ 【单选题】

A.Killing Power of Ancient Volcanic Eruptions

B.Association of Mass Extinction with Volcanic Eruption

C.Calculation of the Killing Power of Older Eruptions

D.A Mass Extinction

E.Volcanic Eruptions That Caused No Mass Extinction

F.ccounting fｏｒthe Killing Power of Older Eruptions

正确答案:D

答案解析:A mass extinction意为“一次大量的生物灭绝”。文章的第一句话是这么说的：Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history. 火山在远古更具毁灭性。这是文章的基本论点或基本假设。假设是需要证明的。第二、三段其实都是在证明这一基本假设。第三段还有这样一句话： older eruptions were at least 10 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recant rivals. 这个命题虽然可用来支持文章的基本假设，但是它本身也需要证明。第四段讲的是二叠纪生物灭绝，这是发生在远古的大规模的生物灭绝。这是一个证据，因此D是正确的。

5、It is obvious that it has been too late to take action.【单选题】

A.True

B.certain

C.said

D.apparent

正确答案:D

答案解析:obvious和apparent都表示“明显的”；true:真实的、真正的；certain:确定的、肯定的；it is said:据说：。

6、Nurse! I Want My MummyWhen a child is ill in hospital, a parent\'s first reaction is to be with them.Most hospitals now allow parents to sleep ____ with their child, providing a bed ｏｒsofa on the ward.But until the 1970s this practice was not only frowned upon (不赞同) — it was actively discouraged. Staff worried that the children would be upｓｅｔwhen their parents left, ａｎｄ　so there was a blanket (通用的) ban.A concerned nurse, Pamela Hawthorn, disagreed ａｎｄ　her study "Nurse, I want my mummy!" published in 1974, changed the face "paediatric (儿科的) nursing.Martin Johnson, a professｏｒof nursing at the University of Salford, said that the work of nurses like Pamela had changed the face of patient care."Pamela\'s study was done against the background of a lively debate in paediatrics ａｎｄ　psychology as to the degree women should spend with children in the outside world ａｎｄ　the degree to which they should be allowed to visit children in hospital.""The idea was that if mum came to visita small child in hospital the child would be upｓｅｔａｎｄ　inconsolable (无法安慰的) fｏｒhours. ""Yet the nurse noticed that if mum did not come at all the child stayed in a relatively stable state but they might be depressed. ""Of course we know now that they had almost given up hope that mum was ever coming back.""To avoid a little bit of pain they said that no one should visit.""But children were alone ａｎｄ　depressed, so Hawthorn said parents should be allowed to visit."Dr. Peter Carter, chief executive ａｎｄ　general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said her work had been seminal (开创性的)."Her research put an end to the days when parents handed their children over to strangers at the doｏｒof the hospital ward.""As a result of her work, parents are now recognized as partners in care ａｎｄ　are afforded the opportunity to stay with their children while they are in hospital, which has dramatically improved both parents\' ａｎｄ　children\'s experience of care." 【单选题】

A.soundly

B.overtime

C.fortnight

D.overnight

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，考查词义辨析，考察副词overnight的用法，文章此处是说“大多数医院都允许父母陪孩子过夜”，overnight指“一夜地，过夜地”，答案是D。

7、College Night Owls Have Lower GradesCollege students who are morning people tend to get better grades than those who are night owls(晚睡的人), according to University of North Texas researchers.They had 824 undergraduate(大学本科生的) students complete a health survey that in cluded questions about sleep habits ａｎｄ　daytime functioning, ａｎｄ　found that students who are morning people had higher grade point averages(GPAs) than those who are night people."The finding that college students who are evening types have lower GPAs is a very important finding, sure to make its way into undergraduate psychology texts in the near future, along with the research showing that memory is improved by sleep," study co - authｏｒDaniet J. Taylｏｒsaid in a prepared statement."Further, these results suggest that it might be possible to improve academic performance by using chronotherapy (时间疗法) to help students retrain their biological clock to become more morning types," Taylｏｒsaid.The research was expected to be presented Monday at SLEEP, the annual meeting of the Associated Professional (专业的) Sleep Societies, in Baltimore.In other findings expected to be heard at the meeting, University of Colorado researchers found a significant association between insomnia (失眠) ａｎｄ　a decline in college students\' academic performance.The study included 64 psychology, nursing ａｎｄ　medical students, average age 27. 4 years, who were divided into two groups—low GPAs ａｎｄ　high GPAs.Among those with low GPAs,69.7 percent had trouble falling asleep,53.1 percent experienced leg kicks ｏｒtwitches (痉挛) at night, 65.6 percent reported waking at night ａｎｄ　having trouble falling back to sleep, ａｎｄ　72.7 percent had difficulty concentrating during the day."In college students, the complaint of difficulty concentrating during the day continues to have a considerable impact on their ability to succeed in the classroom," study authｏｒDr. James F. Pagel said in a prepared statement. "This study showed that disordered sleep has significant harmful effects on a student\'s academic performance, including GPAs."The passage indicates that chronotherapy can be used to help people to ______. 【单选题】

A.forget their troubles

B.improve their image

C.better their social relationships

D.readjust their biological clock

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题难度不大，答案依据比较明显，答案依据是文章第四段，谈到通过时间疗法可以帮助学生重新调整生物钟，变成早起型，回来看选项，D项和原文句意相符，是答案。

8、Happy Marriage, Happy HeartHappily married people have lower blood pressure than unhappily married people ｏｒsingles, a Brigham Young University study says.On the other hand, even having a supportive social network did not translate into a blood pressure benefit fｏｒsingles ｏｒunhappily married people, according to the study."There seems to be some unique health benefits from marriage. It\'s not just being named that benefits health-what\'s really the most protective of health is having a happy marriage," study authｏｒJulianne Holt Lunstad, a psychologist who specializes in relationships ａｎｄ　health, said in a prepared statement.The study included 204 married ａｎｄ　99 single adults who wore portable blood - pressure monitors fｏｒ24 hours. The monitors recorded blood pressure at random intervals ａｎｄ　provided a total of about 72 readings."We wanted to capture participants\' blood pressure doing whatever they normally ____ in everyday life. Getting one ｏｒtwo readings in a clinic is not really representative of the fluctuations (波动) that occur throughout the day," Holt Lunstad said.Overall, happily married people scored four points lower on the blood pressure readings than single adults. The study also found that blood pressure among married people, especially those in happy marriages dropped more during sleep than in single people."Research has shown that people whose blood pressure remains high throughout the night are at much greater risk of heart disease than people whose blood pressure drops," Holt Lunstad said.The study was published in the March 20 issue of the journal Annals (年刊) of Behavioral Medicine.The study also found that unhappily married adults have higher blood pressure than both happily married ａｎｄ　single adults.Holt Lunstad noted that married couples can encourage healthy habits in one another, such as eating a healthy diet ａｎｄ　having regular doctｏｒvisits. People in happy marriages also have a source of emotional support, she said. 【单选题】

A.take

B.do

C.make

D.want

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度不大，考查词义辨析。文章此处是说“……不管测试者每天都做什么”，很明显，要用动词do，答案是B。

A.reducers

B.improvers

C.creators

D.removers

正确答案:B

答案解析:第一段和第二段都说到，抽烟缓解抑郁心情最终导致更抑郁。本句Smokers who used cigarettes as mood had higher risks of elevated depressive symptoms than teens who had never smoked. 表达的是同样的意思。文章第二段和第三段都出现improve mood，所以，mood后面要填入的词应该是improvers选项A、C、D的意义均不符合上下文。

10、Smallpox virusIt\'s now a fair bet that we will never see the total extinction of the smallpox virus. The idea was to cap the glorious achievement of 1980, when smallpox was eradicated in the wild, by destroying the killer virus in the last two labs that are supposed to have it—one in the US ａｎｄ　one in Russia. If smallpox had truly gone from the planet, what point was there in keeping these reserves?In reality, of course, it was naive to imagine that everyone would let go of such a potential weapon. Undoubtedly several nations still have a few vials. ａｎｄ　the last “official” stocks of live virus bred mistrust of the US ａｎｄ　Russia, fｏｒno obvious gain.Now American researchers have found an animal model of the human disease, opening the way fｏｒtests on new treatments ａｎｄ　vaccines. So one again there\'s a good reason to keep the virus—just in case the disease puts in a reappearance.How do we deal with the mistrust of the US ａｎｄ　Russia? ____. Keep the virus under international auspices in a well-guarded UN laboratory that\'s open to all countries. The US will object, of course, just as it rejects a multilateral approach to just about everything. But it doesn\'t mean the idea is wrong. If the virus is useful, then let\'s make it the servant of all humanity—not just a part of it.【单选题】

A.Difficult

B.Hard

C.Safe

D.Simple

正确答案:D

答案解析:从紧随其后的句子来看，用simple是正确的。difficult，hard和safe都跟后面的句子在意思上不连贯。
