1、Egypt Felled by Famine Even ancient Egypt\'s mighty pyramid builders were powerless in the face of the famine that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 BC. Now evidence gleaned from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame ａｎｄ　the same ｏｒworse could happen today. The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile\'s annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons southwards out of Ethiopia would have diminished these floods. Dwindling rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stablize the soil. When rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile ａｎｄ　into Egypt, along with sediment from the White Nile. The Blue Nile mud has a different isotope signature from that of the White Nile. So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta, Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river. Krom reasons that during periods of drought, the amount of the Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4,500 to 4,200 years ago, immediately predates the fall of the Egypt\'s Old Kingdom. The weakened waters would have been catastrophic fｏｒthe Egyptians. " Changes that affect food supply don\'t have to be very large to have a ripple effect in societies," says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doberty Earth Observatory in New York. "Similar events today could be even more devastating," says team member Daniel Stanley, a geoarchaeologist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D C. " Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically. " According to Krom, Egypt\'s Old Kingdom fell ____.【单选题】

A.immediately after a period of drought

B. immediately after a period of flood

C.just before a drought struck

D.just before a flood struck

正确答案:A

2、Cancer1. Cancer is aｇｒｏｕｐof many related diseases that begin in cells, the body\'s basic building blocks. The body is made up of many types of cells. Normally, cells grow ａｎｄ　divide to produce more cells as they are needed to keep the body healthy. Sometimes, this orderly process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, ａｎｄ　old cells do not die when they should. The extra cells form a mass of tissue called a growth ｏｒtumｏｒ肿瘤). Benign(良性的) tumors are not cancer. They can often be removed and, in most cases, they do not come back. Malignant (恶性的) tumors are cancer. Cells in malignant tumors are abnormal ａｎｄ　divide without control ｏｒorder.2. Scientists have learned that cancer is caused by changes in genes that normally control the growth ａｎｄ　death of cells. Certain lifestyle ａｎｄ　environmental factors can change some normal genes into genes that allow the growth of cancer. Many gene changes that lead to cancer are the result of tobacco use, diet, exposure to ultraviolet(紫外线的) radiation from the sun, ｏｒexposure to carcinogens (致症物) in the workplace ｏｒin the environment. Some gene alterations are inherited.3. Cancer treatment can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy(化疗), hormone therapy, ａｎｄ　biological therapy. The doctｏｒmay use one method ｏｒa combination of methods, depending on the type ａｎｄ　location of the cancer, whether the disease has spread, the patient\'s age ａｎｄ　general health ａｎｄ　other factors. Because treatment fｏｒcancer can also damage healthy cells ａｎｄ　tissues, it often causes side effects. Patients ａｎｄ　doctors generally discuss the treatment options, weighting the likely benefits of killing cancer cells ａｎｄ　the risks of possible side effects.4. Having cancer does not always mean having pain. Whether a patient has pain may depend on the type of cancer, the extent of the disease ａｎｄ　the patient\'s tolerance fｏｒpain. Most pain occurs when the cancer grows ａｎｄ　presses against bones, organs, ｏｒnerves. Pain may also be a side effect of treatment. However, pain can generally be relieved ｏｒreduced with prescription medicines ｏｒover - the - counter drugs recommended by the doctor.Paragraph 3 ______【单选题】

A.How is cancer treated?

B.Does cancer always cause pain?

C.Can cancer be prevented?

D.What is cancer?

E.How common is cancer?

F.What causes cancer?

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度也不大，段落主旨句比较明显，是文章第三段的第一句，谈到癌症治疗包括手术疗法，放射线疗法，化疗，激素疗法和生物疗法。回来看选项，A项How is cancer treated?，癌症如何治疗？简单概括了本段意思，是答案。

3、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。

4、Life Expectancy in the Last Hundred YearsA hundred years ago, life expectancy in developed countries was about 47 in the early 21st century, men in the United States ａｎｄ　the United Kingdom can expect to live to about 74. Women to about 80, ａｎｄ　these ages are rising all the time. What has brought about these changes? When we look at the life span of people 100 years ago, we need to look at the greatest killers of the time. In the early 20th century, these were the acute ａｎｄ　oftenhighly infectious diseases such as smallpox. Many children died very young from these diseases ａｎｄ　others, ａｎｄ　the weak ａｎｄ　elderly were always at risk.In the ____ world these diseases are far less deadly today, ａｎｄ　in some cases have almost disappeared. A number of factors have led to this: improvements in sanitation ａｎｄ　hygiene, the discovery ａｎｄ　use of antibiotics, which make bacterial diseases much less dangerous, ａｎｄ　vaccinations against common diseases. In addition , people\'s general health has improved with improvements in our general environment: cleaner air, better means of preserving food, better ａｎｄ　warmer housing, ａｎｄ　better understanding of nutrition.Genetically, we should all be able to live to about 85 but while people do live longer today, there are still some big killers around that are preventing US from consistently reaching that age. The problems that affect people today are the more chronic illnesses, such as heart disease ａｎｄ　strokes, ａｎｄ　those spread by viruses, such as influenza ａｎｄ　AIDS. Of course, cancer is a huge killer as well. In most cases these diseases affect older people, but there are worrying trends in the developed world with problems such as obesity leading to more heart disease ａｎｄ　illnesses such as diabetes at younger ages.The killers today can be classed as "lifestyle diseases", which means that it may be possible to halt their progress.【单选题】

A.developed

B.less developed

C.undeveloped

D.developing

正确答案:A

答案解析:本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失，通过常识得知应该是发达国家。

5、Breast Cancer Deaths Record LowThe number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to a record low by dropping under 12,000 a year fｏｒthe first time since records began.The Cancer\' Research UK data showed that 11.990 women died in the UK in 2007.The previous lowest figure had been recorded in 1971-the year records began-after which it rose steadily year by year until the late 1980s.ProfessｏｒPeter Johnson, Cancer Research UK\'s chief clinician. said: "It\'s incredibly encouraging to see fewer women dying from breast cancer now than at any time in the last 40 years, despite breast cancer being diagnosed more often.""Research has played a crucial role in this progress leading to improved treatments ａｎｄ　better management fｏｒwomen with the disease.""The introduction of the NHS (国民保健制度) breast screening 3 program has also contributed as women are more likely to survive the earlier cancer is diagnosed."Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK with 45,500 women every year diagnosed with the disease - a 50% rise in 25 years.The number of deaths peaked in 1989, when 15,625 women died. It then fell by between 200 ａｎｄ　400 deaths each year until 2004.There was a slight rise in 2005 ａｎｄ　then two years of falls.Dr. Sarah Cant, policy manager at Breakthrough Breast Cancer said: "It is great news that fewer women are dying from breast cancer ａｎｄ　highlights the impact of improved treatments, breast screening ａｎｄ　awareness of the disease. ""However, this is still too many women ａｎｄ　incidence of the disease is increasing year by year. "The rising rate of breast cancer diagnosis has been put down to a variety of factors including obesity(肥胖) ａｎｄ　alcohol consumption.Obesity ａｎｄ　alcohol consumption may also lead to some other diseases.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有一定难度，关键在吃透句意。答案依据比较明显，带着题干信息词回文章定位，答案依据在文章最后一段这一句：The rising rate of breast cancer diagnosis has been put down to a variety of factors including obesity ａｎｄ　alcohol consumption.谈到乳腺癌确诊率上升和肥胖、过度饮酒有关，但并没有提及肥胖和过量饮酒是否会引发其他疾病，因此本题未提及，答案是C。

7、Parkinson\'s Disease1. Parkinson\'s disease affects the way you move. It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine(多巴胺). Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement. It lets your muscles move smoothly ａｎｄ　do what you want them to do. When you have Parkinson\'s, these nerve cells break down. Then you no longer have enough dopamine, ａｎｄ　you have trouble moving the way you want to.2. No one knows fｏｒsure what makes these nerve cells break down. But scientists are doing a lot of research to look fｏｒthe answer. They are studying many possible causes, including aging ａｎｄ　poisons in the environment. Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson\'s disease in some people. But so far, there is not enough proof to show that it is always inherited.3. Tremｏｒ(颤抖) may be the first symptom you notice. It is one of the most common signs of the disease, although not everyone has it. Tremｏｒoften starts in just one arm ｏｒleg ｏｒonly on one side of the body. It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm ｏｒleg. It may get better when you move the limb ｏｒyou are asleep. In time, Parkinson\'s affects muscles all through your body, so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing ｏｒconstipation(便秘) . In the later stages of the disease, a person with Parkinson\'s may have a fixed ｏｒblank expression, trouble speaking, ａｎｄ　other problems. Some people also have a decrease in mental skills.4. At this time, there is no cure fｏｒParkinson\'s disease. But there are several types of medicines that can control the symptoms ａｎｄ　make the disease easier to live with. You may not even need treatment if your symptoms are not obvious. Your doctｏｒmay wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of your daily life. Your doctｏｒwill adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse. You may need to take several medicines to get the best results.A person with Parkinson-s has to learn to live with the disease, ______.【单选题】

A.if there isn’t enough dopamine in your body

B.what affects muscles all through your body

C.which cannot be cured yet

D.if you have a fixed ｏｒblank expression

E.which may be the first symptom you notice

F.what causes Parkinson\'s disease

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，带着题干信息词回文章定位，答案依据是文章第四段前两句，谈到帕金森病还不能彻底治愈，但有几种药物可以控制症状使其变得容易忍受，回来看选项，C项和原文句意相符，是答案。

9、The IcemanOn a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria ａｎｄ　Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height (10,499 feet, ｏｒ3 ,200 meters) , the ice is usually permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than usual ａｎｄ　so the body had come to the surface.It was lying face downward. The skeleton (骨架) was in perfect condition, except fｏｒa wound in the head, There was still skin on the bones ａｎｄ　the remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax ａｎｄ　on the feet there were very simple leather ａｎｄ　cloth hoots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark (树皮) ａｎｄ　a holder fｏｒarrows.Who was this man? How ａｎｄ　when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century, perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I, since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before ａｎｄ　whose body had never been found. The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older, maybe even a thousａｎｄ　years old.With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old. Born in about 3300 B. C. , he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story, A new kind of X - ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage ａｎｄ　bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, ａｎｄ　not from the wound on the back of his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It may have been part of a larger war, ｏｒhe may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been a bandit himself.By studying his clothes ａｎｄ　tools, scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the times he lived in. We may never know the full story of how he died, but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.All the following are assumptions once made about the Iceman EXCEPT ______.【单选题】

A.he was a soldier in World War I

B.he was a Swiss woman\'s long - lost father

C.he was born about a thousａｎｄ　years ago

D.he came from Italy

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，首先要读懂题干，好多考生因为没有读懂而做错。第三段谈到了对冰人的各种猜测：有人认为他是一战的士兵；一位瑞士女人坚信冰人是她二十年前死在山里的父亲，科学家们认为他大概有一千年的历史了，惟独没有提到冰人是意大利人的猜测，所以答案是D。

10、 More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing 1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known, new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences. 2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 ｏｒ10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling ａｎｄ　staying asleep, as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep arid feeling refreshed after a night\'s sleep than 8-hour sleepers. 3 These findings, which Dr. Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night\'s rest may not need to ｓｅｔaside more than 8 hours a night. He added that "it might be a good idea" fｏｒpeople who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this. 4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep, fｏｒinstance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more. 5 Fｏｒthe current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires, in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week ａｎｄ　whether they experienced any sleep problems. Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning ａｎｄ　being unable to fall hack to sleep, ａｎｄ　having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning. 6 Kripke found that people who slept between 9 ａｎｄ　10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours. In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence, he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bad. "It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they\'ll spend a higher percentage of time awake," he said. Long sleepers are reported to be more likely to____. 【单选题】

A.fall asleep again

B. become more energetic the following day

C.sleep less than 8 hours

D.confirm those serious consequences

E.suffer sleep problems

F.sleep more than 9 hours

正确答案:E

答案解析:选择E的依据是第六段的第一句。原文是People who slept between 9 ａｎｄ　10 hours earn night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.
