1、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.When Otis came up with the idea of a lift,____.【单选题】

A.he sold it to the architects ａｎｄ　builders immediately

B.the Egyptians used it to build the Pyramids

C.it was accepted favorably by the public

D.most people had doubt about its safety

正确答案:D

答案解析:答案在第四段。Otis发明的刹车使人们对这个新玩意儿增加了信心，他在游乐场里让大家试乘了几年才把这个想法出售给建筑师和营造商。

2、Online Cancer Chat with a Safety NetCancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum fｏｒcancer patients to swap (变换) stories ａｎｄ　share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease.But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference: it has an information safety net.This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue (劣等的) "cancer cures" ｏｒscientifically unsound information.Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat, but if people wish to post a message, they will need to register.ａｎｄ　Rebekah Gibbs, cancer patient ａｎｄ　star of TWs Casualty, has pledged her support fｏｒthe new project. "I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea," she said. "I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer ａｎｄ　I have had such a heart - warming response from other people going through the same thing."The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment ａｎｄ　side effects ａｎｄ　you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends ａｎｄ　family. ａｎｄ　with Cancer Research UK monitoring the forum, people can be reassured about the quality of information being exchanged.Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its CancerHelp UK website, which is specially designed to give patients ａｎｄ　their families 6,000 pages of up - to - date information that is easy to understａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　explains a wide range of treatments fｏｒdifferent types of cancer ａｎｄ　gives details of clinical trials. There is also a UK ｄａｔａｂａｓｅ of cancer clinical trials.The award - winning website attracts around one million visitors a month ａｎｄ　Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.Fｏｒthose who do not have access to computers ａｎｄ　have questions about cancer, the charity\'s team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients\' concerns on the phone.The word "charity" in the last line but one refers to ______. 【单选题】

A.Cancer Chat

B.CancerHelp UK

C.TWs Casualty

D.Cancer Research UK

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真吃透原文句意，找出判断依据。通读文章最后几段可以发现，the charity指的是慈善机构Cancer Research UK，答案是D。

3、15 Million Americans Suffer from Social Anxiety DisorderSocial anxiety disｏｒｃｅｒprevents some 15 million Americans from leading normal social ａｎｄ　romantic lives, a new survey finds.The disｏｒｃｅｒleaves many isolated, ashamed ａｎｄ　often misdiagnosed. Thirty-six percent of those with social anxiety disｏｒｃｅｒhave symptoms fｏｒ10 years ｏｒmore before seeking help, the Anxiety Disorders Association of America reports."Social anxiety disｏｒｃｅｒis when somebody has an intense, persistent ａｎｄ　irrational fear of social ｏｒperformance situations," Jerilyn Ross, the association\'s president ａｎｄ　CEO, said during a teleconference Wednesday."The condition causes people to avoid common, everyday situations ａｎｄ　even other people fｏｒfear of being judged ｏｒcriticized ｏｒhumiliated ｏｒembarrassing themselves," Ross said.Social anxiety disｏｒｃｅｒcan interfere with daily routines ａｎｄ　job performance, Ross noted. "It also makes it very difficult fｏｒpeople to develop friends ａｎｄ　romantic partnerships," she said.People with this disｏｒｃｅｒrecognize their fear is excessive ａｎｄ　irrational, Ross noted. "But they feel powerless to do anything about it," she said.Social anxiety disｏｒｃｅｒcan start in the early teens, Dr. Mark H. Pollack, directｏｒof the Center fｏｒAnxiety ａｎｄ　Traumatic Stress Disorders ａｎｄ　a professｏｒof psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said during the teleconference."This is a disｏｒｃｅｒthat starts affecting people early on," Pollack said. "The typical age of onｓｅｔis early adolescence, age 12 ｏｒ13, ａｎｄ　many individuals report a history of anxiety dating back to earlier childhood."The disｏｒｃｅｒalso has physical symptoms, including heart palpitations, feelings that their throat will close up, sweating, blushing, faintness, trembling ａｎｄ　stammering, Ross said.Among people with the disorder, 75 percent said the condition affected their ability to do normal activities. In addition, 69 percent said they didn\'t want people to think they were crazy, ａｎｄ　58 percent said they were embarrassed by their condition, Ross said.However, when the condition is diagnosed ａｎｄ　treated, many reported improvement in their lives. In fact, 59 percent who were receiving treatment said treatment had a positive effect on their ability to have a romantic relationship. In addition, 39 percent who had received treatment said knowing that treatment can be successful aided their decision to get help, Ross noted.It can be seen from the last paragraph that treatment of the disｏｒｃｅｒ____.【单选题】

A.has no positive effect at all

B.is unavailable to most sufferers

C.tends to be refused by the sufferers

D.can lead to improvement in the sufferers\' lives

正确答案:D

答案解析:短文的最后一段表明，不少患者在经过治疗后都有好转。

4、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. " Which of the following statements is true? 【单选题】

A.The White Nile is the trunk of the River Nile.

B.The White Nile is the trunk of the Blue Nile.

C.The White Nile is a branch of the Blue Nile.

D.The White Nile ａｎｄ　the Blue Nile are branches of the River Nile.

正确答案:D

答案解析: D说的是：青尼罗河和白尼罗河是尼罗河的支流。第四段中的最后一句话是这么说的：… worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river. 这里的“河”是指“尼罗河”，“每条支流”是指上文所说的“青尼罗河”和“白尼罗河”。因此，D是正确的答案。A：白尼罗河是尼罗河的干流。B：白尼罗河是青尼罗河的干流。C:白尼罗河是青尼罗河的支流。显然，这些都不是答案。

5、When a disease of epidemic proportions rips into the populace, scientists immediately get to work, trying to locate the source of the affliction ａｎｄ　find ways to combat it. Oftentimes, success is achieved, as medical science is able to isolate the parasite, germ ｏｒcell that causes the problem ａｎｄ　finds ways to effectively kill ｏｒcontain it. In the most serious of cases, in which the entire population of a region ｏｒcountry may be at grave risk, it is deemed necessary to protect the entire population through vaccination, so as to safeguard lives ａｎｄ　ensure that the disease will not spread.The process of vaccination allows the patient\'s body to develop immunity to the virus ｏｒdisease so that, if it is encountered, one can ward it off naturally. To accomplish this, a small weak ｏｒdead strain of the disease is actually injected into the patient in a controlled environment, so that his body\'s immune system can learn to fight the invader properly. Information on how to penetrate the disease\'s defenses is transmitted to all elements of the patient\'s immune system in a process that occurs naturally, in which genetic information is passed from cell to cell. This makes sure that, should the patient later come into contact with the real problem, his body is well equipped ａｎｄ　trained to deal with it, having already done so before.There are dangers inherent in the process, however. On occasion, even the weakened version of the disease contained in the vaccine proves too much fｏｒthe body to handle, resulting in the immune system succumbing, and, therefore, the patient\'s death. Such is the case of the smallpox vaccine, designed to eradicate the smallpox epidemic that nearly wiped out the entire Native American population ａｎｄ　killed massive numbers of settlers. Approximately l in 10,000 people who receives the vaccine contract the smallpox disease from the vaccine itself ａｎｄ　dies from it. Thus, if the entire population of the United States were to receive the Smallpox Vaccine today, 3,000 Americans would be left dead.Fortunately, the smallpox virus was considered eradicated in the early 1970\'s, ending the mandatory vaccination of all babies in America. In the event of a re-introduction of the disease, however, mandatory vaccinations may resume, resulting in more unexpected deaths from vaccination. The process, which is truly a mixed blessing, may indeed hide some hidden curses.The purpose of the authｏｒin writing this passage is____.【单选题】

A.to comment ａｎｄ　criticize

B.to demonstrate ａｎｄ　argue

C.to interest ａｎｄ　entertain

D.to explain ａｎｄ　inform
