1、Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel Prize AnnouncementsTwo scientists who have won praise fｏｒresearch into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates fｏｒthe Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements. Australian-born U. S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn ａｎｄ　American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors fｏｒtheir enzyme research ａｎｄ　experts say they could be among the front-runners fｏｒa Nobel. Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U. S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel. Among the pair\'s possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon ａｎｄ　Americans Ronald Evans ａｎｄ　Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors. As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm\'s Karolinska Institute. Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature ａｎｄ　peace. The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden\'s central bank. Nobel left few instructions on how to select-winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded fｏｒa specific breakthrough rather than a body of research. Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronｏｒ(US$1. 3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal fｏｒscientists. "Individual researchers probably don\'t look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they\'re at work," Jornvall told The Associated Press. "They get their kicks from their research ａｎｄ　their interest in how life functions. "In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, "San Francisco, ａｎｄ　Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize fｏｒbasic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work ｓｅｔthe stage fｏｒresearch suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growthWho is NOT a likely candidate fｏｒthis year\'s Nobel Prize in medicine?【单选题】

A.Elizabeth Blackburn.

B.Carol Greider.

C.Linda Buck.

D.Pierre Chambon.

正确答案:C

答案解析:从短文的头4段可以看出，只有2004年获得诺贝尔医学奖的Linda Buck不在今年的候选人范围内。

2、How to Be a Successful BusinesspersonHave you ever wondered why some people are successful in business ａｎｄ　others are not? Here\'s a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes ａｎｄ　today he owns 168 restaurants.Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, ａｎｄ　when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.At the age of 23 ａｎｄ　with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working fｏｒa company that rented cars.While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental(租赁的) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. Fｏｒtwo months, he worked as a cook\'s assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen ａｎｄ　help the cook. "I didn\'t like it," Mr. Kazi says, "but I always did the best I could."One day, Mr. Kazi\'s two co - workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.A few months later, the owners needed a manager fｏｒa new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager ａｎｄ　soon the restaurant was making a profit.A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty inside ａｎｄ　the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank ａｎｄ　bought the restaurant. Fｏｒthe first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. , seven days a week. He ａｎｄ　his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, ａｎｄ　improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had to wait more than ten minutes fｏｒtheir food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit.A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant fｏｒa profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, ａｎｄ　retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn\'t planning to stop there. He\'s looking fｏｒmore poorly managed restaurants to buy.

3、Walking to Exercise the BrainDo you think sitting ａｎｄ　studying all the time will improve students grades? Think again. Getting some exercise may help, too.New research with older people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didn\'t exercise.Previous research had shown that mice learn, remember ａｎｄ　pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a running wheel. Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who don\'t. Their brain cells also make more connections.Neuroscientists (神经科学家) from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true fｏｒpeople. First, they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults, ages 58 to 77, after each person walked I mile. Then, participants looked at arrows on a computer screen ａｎｄ　had to use computer keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing.Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task, ａｎｄ　their answers were just as accurate as their less - fit peers, the researchers found. The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their brain responsible fｏｒpaying attention ａｎｄ　making decisions.In a second study, 15 elderly people who completed a 6 - month aerobic - training (有氧运动) course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching ａｎｄ　toning (韵律操) exercises fｏｒthe same amount of time.So, even going fｏｒa walk every 2 ｏｒ3 days fｏｒjust 10 to 45 minutes can help. That should be good news fｏｒthe elderly.The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven\'t been studied yet. Still, it can\'t hurt to take occasional breaks ａｎｄ　go fｏｒa walk ｏｒrun around with friends. Whatever you do, though, don\'t try to read ａｎｄ　walk at the same time. You could end up hurting yourself!It is suggested in the last paragraph that people should ______.【单选题】

A.run around once a week

B.not read ａｎｄ　walk at the same time

C.go fｏｒa walk every day

D.not hurt their friends while exercising

正确答案:B

4、HalloweenHalloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening", ａｎｄ　it comes every October 31, the evening before All-Saints Day. It used to be thought the most wonderful night of the year. It was the night when witches ａｎｄ　evil spirits came back on earth. People kept up many strange old customs in an effort to keep these evil things away. Farmers used to light big fires in their fields, ａｎｄ　the farm workers ａｎｄ　their families would walk around the fields singing old songs. Sometimes they would stop to hear the local priest offer prayers to the good spirits, ａｎｄ　ask them to help keep the evil ones away. Great care was taken that none of the farm animals were left in the fields. They would all be locked up safely in their stables, ａｎｄ　over each of the stable doors a few rowan leaves would be hung. Witches ａｎｄ　evil spirits would not go anywhere near the rowan tree. In more recent times, Halloween has become a time fｏｒthe parties, when children dress up as witches ａｎｄ　play all kinds of special games. After the games there is often a big supper with plenty of pumpkin pie, cakes ａｎｄ　a lot of other delicious things to eat. But fｏｒthe most part the children enjoy the fun of dressing up ａｎｄ　playing their favorite game of "Trick ｏｒTreat". They run down each street knocking on the doors crying loudly "Trick ｏｒTreat! Money ｏｒeat!", ａｎｄ　most people have some sweets ｏｒmoney ready to give them. Those that do not can expect maybe to have a tyre flattened, ｏｒtheir windows covered in soap. ｏｒthe children may just knock on the doｏｒａｎｄ　run away. Some children think of other people on Halloween. They carry boxes fｏｒUNICEF (The United Nations International Children\'s Emergency Fund). They ask fｏｒmoney to help poｏｒchildren all around the world. Of course, every time they help UNICEF, they usually receive a treat fｏｒthemselves, too. Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins ａｎｄ　put lights inside. It looks like there is a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o\'-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern". But in this modern age many of the pumpkins are being replaced with plastic electric ones that can be brought out each year. What did priests do on Halloween?【单选题】

A.They helped farmers light fires ａｎｄ　sang songs.

B.They prayed to the good spirits ａｎｄ　asked them to help keep the evil ones away.

C.They took care of farm animals fｏｒfarmers.

D.They played games with children.

正确答案:B

答案解析:由第1段最后一句可知，有时农夫停下去听当地牧师向天使精灵作祷告，请求他们帮助赶走邪恶精灵。因此选B。

5、Snow RangerThe two things, snow ａｎｄ　mountains, which are needed fｏｒa ski area are the two things that cause avalanches, large mass of snow ａｎｄ　ice crushing down the side of a mountain, often called "White Death. "It was the threat of the avalanche ａｎｄ　its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937, 38 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest. This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 ａｎｄ　another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a majｏｒski area. Thus, development of Alta ａｎｄ　other majｏｒski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service ｓｅｔout to do it, ａｎｄ　did with its corps of snow rangers. It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier ａｎｄ　a skilled mountain climber. He should have at least a high school education, ａｎｄ　the more college courses in geology, physics, ａｎｄ　related fields he has, the better. He studies snow, terrain, wind, ａｎｄ　weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches ａｎｄ　to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery, by blasting with TNT, ａｎｄ　by the difficult ａｎｄ　skillful art of skiing avalanches down. The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety fｏｒpeople on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, ｏｒtalks with the ski area\'s operatｏｒas he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes. A snow ranger himself must be____. 【单选题】

A.a college graduate.

B.a physicist.

C.a geologist.

D.a mountaineer.

正确答案:D

答案解析:A：大学毕业生；B：物理学家；C：地质学家；D：登山运动员。依据常识，D最合理。如果依据原文，文章第5段首句说“要成为雪地管理员需要很多的条件”，所以判断答案相关句应在该段中。该段说“雪地管理员应是优秀的登山运动员”，所以答案是D。
