1、Human Heart Can Make New CellsSolving a longstanding mystery, scientists have found that the human heart continues to generate new cardiac cells throughout the life span, although the rate of new cell production slows with age. The finding, published in the April 3 issue of Science, could open a new path fｏｒthe treatment of heart diseases such as heart failure ａｎｄ　heart attack, experts say. "We find that the beating cells in the heart, cardiomyocytes, are renewed," said lead researcher Dr. Jonas Frisen, a professｏｒof stem cell research at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. "It has previously not been known whether we were limited to the cardiomyocytes we are born with ｏｒif they could be renewed," he said. The process of renewing these cells changes over time, Frisen added. In a 20-year-old, about 1 percent of cardiomyocytes are exchanged each year, but the turnover rate decreases with age to only 0. 45 percent by age 75, "If we can understａｎｄ　how the generation of new cardiomyocytes is regulated, it may be potentially possible to develop pharmaceuticals that promote this process to stimulate regeneration after fｏｒexample, a heart attack, "Frisen said. That could lead to treatment that helps restore damaged hearts. A lot of people suffer from chronic heart failure," noted co-authｏｒDr. Ratan Bhardwaj. Ratan Bhardwaj, also from the Karolinska Institute. "Chronic heart failure arises from heart cells dying," he said. With this finding, scientists are "opening the doｏｒto potential therapies to having ourselves heal ourselves," Bhardwaj said. "Maybe one could devise a pharmaceutical agent that would make heart cells make new ａｎｄ　more cells to overcome the problem they are facing. " But barriers remain. According to Bhardwaj, scientists do not yet know how to increase heart cell production to a rate that would replace cells faster than they are dying off, especially in older patients with heart failure. In addition, the number of new cells the heart produces was estimated using healthy hearts-whether the rate of cell turnover in diseased hearts is the same remains unknown.In people in their mid-70s, only 0.45 percent of cardiomyocytes ____.【单选题】

A.are still functional

B.are reduced each year

C.are replaced each year

D.are damaged each year

正确答案:C

答案解析:第四段说，一个人20岁时，其每年被更替的心肌细胞为1%，随着年龄的增长，该更替率( turnover rate)不断下降，等到75岁时，只有0. 45%。

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.Which statement about the CancerHelp UK website is NOT true?【单选题】

A.It offers lots of information on cancer treatment ａｎｄ　clinical trials.

B.It attracts numerous visitors.

C.It has won an award.

D.It is accessible only to British citizens.

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。认真阅读文章可以发现，选项里A，B，C三项在文中都提到了，第四段第一句，谈到任何人都可以上该论坛的网站浏览消息，Cancer Help UK是其子网站，但并没有提到只有英国公民才能登陆该网站，答案是D。

3、Youth Emancipation in SpainThe Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.Around 55 percent of people aged 18 ～ 34 in Spain still sleep in their parents\' home, says the latest report from the country\'s state - run Institute of Youth.To coax (劝诱) young people from their homes, the Institute started a "Youth Emancipation(解放)" programme this month. The programme offers guidance in finding rooms ａｎｄ　jobs.Economists blame young people\'s family dependence on the precarious (不稳定的) labour market ａｎｄ　increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists (社会学家). Family ties in south Europe (Italy, Portugal ａｎｄ　Greece) are stronger than those in middle ａｎｄ　north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Key fｏｒUnderstanding"."In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized," said Minguez.In Spain, especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces ａｎｄ　nephews (外甥／侄子) all living on the same street. They regularly get together fｏｒSunday dinner.Parents tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late - night partying ａｎｄ　are wary of setting bedtime rules."A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he\'ll put up a fight ａｎｄ　call the father a fascist," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos Ill University in Madrid.Mothers willingness to do children\'s household chores (家务) worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso, a 60 - year - old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s, The eldest 28, has a girlfriend ａｎｄ　a job. But life with mum is good."His mum does the wash ａｎｄ　cooks fｏｒhim, in the end, he lives well," Masso said.The phrase "wary of" in paragraph 8 could be best replaced by ______.【单选题】

A.tired of

B.afraid of

C.worried about

D.cautious about

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题是词义题，难度不大，第八段谈到，西班牙的父母可以接受孩子们的深夜聚会，小心翼翼地制定睡觉时间，D是“小心谨慎…”，答案是D。

4、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.The scientists made the deduction that the Iceman ______.【单选题】

A.was probably in some kind of a battle

B.was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead

C.had got a wound on the back of his head

D.had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定的难度，需要认真阅读文章第四段。答案依据在第四段，第四段谈到，通过X光检查出在他的肩膀处有个箭头，……this means that he was probably in some kind of a battle，这说明他当时极有可能是处在一场战争中，选项A和文中几乎是一模一样，是答案。

5、Flu doesScratchy throats, stuffy noses ａｎｄ　body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold ｏｒflu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds ａｎｄ　the flu, ａｎｄ　one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That\'s because the prescription drugs available fｏｒthe flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As fｏｒcolds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold ａｎｄ　the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses-flu A, B ａｎｄ　C. There is no cure fｏｒeither illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, fｏｒmost people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu ａｎｄ　common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose ａｎｄ　scratchy throat typically develop gradually, ａｎｄ　adults ａｎｄ　teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu fｏｒall ages. ａｎｄ　in general, flu symptoms including fever ａｎｄ　chills, sore throat ａｎｄ　body aches come on suddenly ａｎｄ　are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants ａｎｄ　preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctｏｒif their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold ａｎｄ　flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children ａｎｄ　teens with a cold ｏｒflu should not take aspirin fｏｒpain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver ａｎｄ　central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine fｏｒthe common cold but frequent hａｎｄ　washing ａｎｄ　avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents ____.【单选题】

A.are advised not to give them aspirin

B.should watch out fｏｒsigns of Reye syndrome

C.are encouraged to take them to hospital fｏｒvaccination

D.should prevent them from mixing with people running a fever

正确答案:A

答案解析:第七段第二句直接指明了：儿童和十多岁的孩子不能服用阿司匹林来缓解伤风流感带来的疼痛，因为这有可能导致Reye综合症，会使肝脏和中枢神经系统处于少见的严重状态。
