1、Cooking Oil Fumes Cause TumorThe leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a fiveyear research study.Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer, They said patients are younger, especially women.According to the Shanghai Tumｏｒresearch Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else. Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate."An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason fｏｒlung cancer," said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine TumｏｒDiagnosis ａｎｄ　Treatment Center.He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients fｏｒfive years. Among them, 1,433 were male.Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking ｏｒinhaling second-hａｎｄ　smoke, according to the report.However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking ａｎｄ　complained about irritated eyes ａｎｄ　throat.About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens ａｎｄ　about 25 percent of women\'s bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer. Some claimed they may change food preparation methods. "Unless my family ａｎｄ　I don\'t eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook," said Xu Li, a 45-year-old local woman. "I know the fumes are bad fｏｒthe skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less. "Doctors said women\'s lung cancer had few links to personal health ａｎｄ　physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits ａｎｄ　weak immune systems.Other experts agreed with him."Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer fｏｒmen," said Dr. Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University\'s Medical College. "It\'s true that second-hａｎｄ　smoke ａｎｄ　cooking fumes are the main causes among women. "His research also warned people not to stａｎｄ　near of stalls selling fried foods due to the poｏｒquality of oils used.The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume fｏｒa long time, experts said.Which of the following diseases is the most common among the local residents in Shanghai?【单选题】

A.Heart disease.

B.Breast cancer.

C.Infectious diseases.

D.Lung cancer.

答案解析:细节考查题。答案参见第三段最后一句：Following breast cancer，it has the second-highest incidence rate（肺癌排在乳腺癌之后，发病率第二高）。可见最常见的疾病就是乳腺癌，故正确答案为B。

2、Early childhood educationIn a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement ａｎｄ　economic success, fｏｒpossible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find in most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese ａｎｄ　210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, ａｎｄ　parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons fｏｒa society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children fｏｒsuccessful careers in first grade ａｎｄ　beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, ａｎｄ　mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, ａｎｄ　the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese ａｎｄ　American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with aｇｒｏｕｐexperience as one of their top three reasons fｏｒa society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listedｇｒｏｕｐexperience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of theｇｒｏｕｐseen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training ｏｒpotential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary ａｎｄ　secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children\'s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools ａｎｄ　universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out fｏｒthe heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in ｏｒｃｅｒto ____.【单选题】

A.broaden children\'s horizon

B.cultivate children\'s creativity

C.lighten children\'s study load

D.enrich children\'s knowledge

正确答案:C

答案解析:此题可以从全文的最后一句话得出答案。其他三个选项“扩大孩子的视野”、“培养孩子的创造力”和“丰富孩子的知识”文中无明确的说明。

3、BaseballThere are people in Italy who can\'t stａｎｄ　soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn ｏｒeven frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it\'s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet ａｎｄ　gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there\'s the sport that glorifies "the hit".By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent ａｎｄ　still. On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays ａｎｄ　close ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space ａｎｄ　time fｏｒinvolvement. The TV won\'t do it fｏｒyou.Take, fｏｒexample, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout ａｎｄ　you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms ｏｒbring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right ｏｒleft, backward ｏｒforward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman\'s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. "Nothing happened," you say. "I could have had my eyes closed".The skeptic ａｎｄ　the innocent must play the game. ａｎｄ　this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood if football is a symphony of movement ａｎｄ　theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores ａｎｄ　responses.The passage is mainly concerned with ____.【单选题】

A.the different tastes of people fｏｒsports

B.the different characteristics of sports

C.the attraction of football

D.the attraction of baseball

正确答案:D

答案解析:第一段简述了人们对垒球所持的偏见——无活力、从容和缓，不像橄榄球那样高潮迭起、令人激动。文章的第二、三、四、五段探讨了垒球的根本特征及欣赏角度，文章的最后一句话用一个比喻概括了垒球的魅力： “如果橄榄球是一曲交响乐的话，球中所表现出来的运动恰似一曲优美的室内乐。”可见，主要探讨的是垒球的特点及其欣赏。A不对，这段也确实提到了不同观众对不同运动形式的偏好，只是用以引出对垒球的特征及欣赏的讨论。

4、Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big DifferencePutting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to. Children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy.Most student leaders don\'t want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon\'s operations officer fｏｒtwo years.Yvonne Fangmeyer, directｏｒof the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations. She said the desire fｏｒfriendship was the most frequently cited reason fｏｒjoining.At large universities like Fangmeyer\'s, which has more than 40,000 students, the students, first of all, want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus".Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey\'s findings. "I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find aｇｒｏｕｐof friends. "All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren\'t thinking about their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to \'fatten up their resume\'," said Heitner. "At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles. "But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. Fｏｒexample, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up fｏｒan event designed to educate students about homelessness ａｎｄ　poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, ａｎｄ　dealing with the university\'s complicated bureaucracy."Outside-of the classroom learning really makes a big difference," Fangmeyer said.The phrasal verb fatten up in paragraph 6 could be best replaced by ____.【单选题】

A.invent

B.rewrite

C.polish

D.complete

正确答案:C

答案解析:“fatten up”原意是“使人或动物变肥”，在这里可以解释为使一个人的履历更充实一些也好看一些，因此意思上最接近的是“polish”（润色）。

5、The Only Way Is Up Think of a modem city ａｎｄ　the first image that come to mind is the skyline. It is full of great buildings, pointing like fingers to heaven. It is true that some cities don\'t permit buildings to go above a certain height. But these are cities concerned with the past. The first thing any city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers. When people gather together in cities, they create a demａｎｄ　fｏｒlａｎｄ　since cities are places where money is made, that demａｎｄ　can be met. ａｎｄ　the best way to make money out of city lａｎｄ　is to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground that means building upwards. The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century. But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor. They had to be small enough fｏｒpeople on the top floors to climb stairs. People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work, ｏｒhome. Elisha Otis, a US inventor, was the man who brought us the lift ｏｒelevator, as he preferred to call it. However, most of the technology is very old lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids. What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine ａｎｄ　develop the elevatｏｒbrake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken. It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention. In fact, he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds, giving people the chance to try them out before selling the idea to architects ａｎｄ　builders. A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now. Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would just be boring. Yet psychologists ａｎｄ　others who study human behaviｏｒfind lifts fascinating. The reason is simple. Scientists have always studied animals in zoos. The nearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts. "It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us ａｎｄ　you just can\'t choose to move away," says workplace psychologist, Gary Fitzgibbon. Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions, he says. Some people are scared of them. Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss. Some stａｎｄ　close to the door. Others hide in the comers. Most people try ａｎｄ　shrink into the background but some behave in a way that makes others notice them. There are a few people who just stａｎｄ　in a comer taking notes. Don\'t worry about them. They are probably from a university.Which of the following best describes the experience of going in a lift now? 【单选题】

A.Fascinating.

B.Uninteresting.

C.Frightening.

D.Exciting.

正确答案:B

答案解析:现在电梯已经十分普通，没有人会觉得乘电梯是件好玩的事。
