Holding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.
If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects are huge. Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillion(万亿)minutes annually - earn $109 billion for the wireless carriers.
Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, “Disconnect.” The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.
Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.
“Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid(易吸收的液体). No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen(腹部).
小题1:Why is the warning in the small print?
A.They think people will not care about it. |
B.There is not enough space for the warning. |
C.They don’t want the users to pay attention to it. |
D.The warning is not important at all. |
A.acceptable | B.valuable | C.accessible | D.easily affected |
A.Pregnant women should keep cell phones away. |
B.People should use cell phones in the correct way. |
C.If you are a child, you’d better text than make phone calls. |
D.When you use a cell phone, use a wired headset or the phone’s speaker. |
A.Be careful when using cell phones. |
B.Don’t hold your cell phone against your ear. |
C.Rats exposed to radiation have damaged DNA in their brains. |
D.Low-energy radiation could damage cells that could lead to cancer. |

举一反三
President Obama: I want to welcome Vice President Xi to the Oval Office and welcome him to the United States. This is obviously a great opportunity for us to build on the U. S,-China relationship, but also an opportunity to return the extraordinary hospitality (款待) that Vice President Xi showed Vice President Biden during his recent visit to China.

So, Mr. Vice President, I hope you have a wonderful visit while you"re here. I"m sure the American people welcome you. I"m glad that you"re going to get an opportunity to get out of Washington. I know you"ll be visiting Iowa, which you visited many years ago when you were governor. And I understand you"re also going to Los Angeles and maybe even taking in (观看) a Lakers basketball game.

Weall know about “Brother Sharp” , “King of Calm” and “Brother Buckteeth”----names that netizens(网民) have given those with special characteristics, or who have done something special.
Recently, a new name has been added to that list----“Brother Banner(横幅)”. What did he do to get the name?
“Brother Banner” is Chen Yihua, a Senior 1 student at Guangzhou No.16 High School. On the afternoon of May 4, he made a banner, dressed in school uniform, and stood outside a Line 1 subway station in Guangzhou.
Chen was protesting(抗议)Guangzhou Metro(地铁) Company’s renovation(整修) project for the line.
The company was planning to renew 16 stations on the line over three years. It said that the station would be renovated in similar styles, and the cost of the project would be 92.27 million yuan.
The banner that Chen held said: “The special features of Line 1 stations will disappear. The program is also a waste of resources. I hope you will help my protest be signing my subway petition(请愿) against the renovation .”
His action attracted the attention of passers-by. In three days, Chen collected more than 300 signatures(签名) from the public.
The metro company also noticed Chen, and responded to him, three times, over the following week.
On May 6, the company announced that the project was to replace aging equipment that has been running for a long time, because it had “safety risks”. The public was unsatisfied with the response.
The next day, the company met with Chen and gave further details of the project. Chen remained unconvinced.
The company made a 180-degree turn in its third response to Chen’s protest on May 10.
Zhong Xuejun, spokesman for the company, said the renovation would be based on the principle of saving energy and being economical. It would focus on the old equipment and the look of the stations wouldn’t be changed much.
Finally, Chen’s voice had been heard.
小题1:What do “Brother sharp”, “King of Calm” and “Brother Buckteeth” have in common?
A.They’re handsome. |
B.They only exist in the net. |
C.They’re characters(角色,特征) of a novel. |
D.They have done something special or have special character. |
A.1 | B.2 | C.3 | D.4 |
A.“Brother Banner” is a Senior 1 student. |
B.“Brother Banner” collected more than 300 signatures in three days. |
C.“Brother Banner” has made a difference through his action. |
D.“Brother Banner” is not a normal student. |
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip. Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars, but another 600 days there before he can go back home. Patrick was of course very excited, “ This has been my dream since I was four, and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible.”
To be able to pay the $ 1. 3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake (股份) in the company his father had built. “I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today, he knew what this means to me”, says Patrick. There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back, but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company.
So, how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet? “Well, since I don’t have a job when I get back after selling the company, I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea”, he says and laughs. If he brings a shovel(铁锹)he can start building the first hotel there, but maybe he shouldn’t expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket.
小题1:How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back?
A.About five months | B.About two years | C.About 600 days | D.About 750 days |

In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, all citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities.
In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated. There are open sessions of this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in order to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.
小题1:At a town meeting, people do the following things EXCEPT __________.
A.express their opinions about the government |
B.elect officials of the towns |
C.make a decision about whom they should marry |
D.discuss some community matters |
A.All the citizens. |
B.All the men except those who were church members. |
C.The rich. |
D.The rich men and the church members. |
A.Because many people are interested in it. |
B.Because it is very democratic. |
C.Because many people enjoy themselves at town meetings. |
D.Because sometimes government agencies call them. |
A.Citizens can elect the officials in the town meeting. |
B.In recent years, town meetings are often called by a government agency. |
C.People can say what they want to say at the town meeting. |
D.Nowadays this kind of meeting is also held on radio and television. |
A.the New England town meeting | B.modern town meetings |
C.a democratic meeting | D.New England towns |
So how did that go this year? When host Seth MacFarlane noted in his opening speech that it was the first time the Academy Awards had a theme, I thought: “well, that’s a good start.”
But when he revealed that the theme was a tribute to(向…致敬) musicals, I was less sure. After all, it’s not the first time that musicals have featured at the Oscars.
In 2007, the cast of Dream-girls gave a special performance directed by movie director and musical veteran(经验丰富的老手) Bill Condon. Then there was the memorable 2009 show hosted by Hugh Jackman, who screams musicals. With Beyonce Knowles and Anne Hathaway, he performed several hit songs from move musical. And in 2010, how did Neil Patrick Harris introduce the hosts? By performing a musical number.
So I guess the Oscars could have done better this year. But I must admit, there were more music performances in the three-and-a –half-hour show than ever before. This suggests the Oscars has dropped some of its arrogance and wants to offer audiences more entertainment.
It’s a timely move as the Golden Globes, also known as the “big party,” has become a threat to the Oscars, stealing viewers and even its reputation. Just look at the Oscars’ winning list this year.
You can’t blame the academy for wanting to stick it to the Golden Globes. While they hired Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to host the show—certainly more audience-friendly than MacFarlane— and Bill Clinton was invited as a presenter, who did viewers get at the Oscars? The First Lady of the US, Michelle Obama.
Way to go, Oscar! We know you’re struggling to look fresh and young, but don’t lose the pride and dignity that made you one biggest honor in the movie industry. Don’t ever let that change.
小题1:Examples are given in Para.4 to show that__________.
A.the Oscars has been trying hard to change |
B.the Oscars’ theme is a tribute to musicals |
C.it is not the first time that the Oscars has had a theme |
D.musicals are not a new feature this year |
A.the Oscars didn’t invite Bill Clinton as a presenter |
B.the show took as long as three and a half hours |
C.the Oscars has lost some pride and dignity to cater to the audiences |
D.the Oscars is no longer fresh and young |
A.It gave an award to the First Lady of the US, Michelle Obama. |
B.Its host and hostess had better reputation. |
C.It has become highly competitive with the Academy Awards. |
D.It is more friendly to the audience. |
A.Nothing new, but well done |
B.So old, still young |
C.New start, good change |
D.Too old to change |
