There are various reasons why cancers appear to be
on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their
middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer
sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily
recognize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been
wrongly diagnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modern living, including
heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions
than before.
We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small.
Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the
examination of the blood.
Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not
appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had c
ancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time. The researchers believe the test may be able to show
cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.
The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change
lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the
persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer. The researchers say the new test could
be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.
1. Who will have cancer from the study of the researchers?
A. The young.
B. The middle age and the older.
C. The man.
D. The woman.
2. The underlined words "such a test" refer to________.
A. the test that shows which persons have cancer and which don’t .
B. the test that may be able to show cancer very early in its
development。
C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when it is small
D. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way
3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ blood.
B. People living in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by
cancer.
C.X-raying is the best way to determined whether a person has cancer
or not.
D. Cancers have nothing to do with a person’s habits and living
conditions.
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A simple way to cancer
B. Cancers can be cured
C. How to find cancer
D. Early discovery of cancer

Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today
would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live l
onger, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an
increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.?
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are
disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them.
In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times
of famine(饥荒), infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,
but if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary(当代的) societies,
people feel a moral responsibility to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great
many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have
rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for
their retirement, somebody else must support them. In America many retired people live on social
security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness
than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they
must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.?
When older people become
senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create
grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for
at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often
no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing
homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making
organizations, although some are sponsored(主办) by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a
few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds” for the
dying in which “care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.?
1．The author believes that the population explosion results from
A．an increase in birthrates
B．the industrial development?
C．a decrease in death rates
D.human beings" cultural advances
2．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in America is
TRUE?
A．Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.?
B．Minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their
retirement.
C．When they reach a certain age, compulsory retirement is necessary and
beneficial.
D. With the growing inflation（通货膨胀）, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever?
3．The underlined phrase “this need” in Paragraph 3 refers to ?
A．prolonging the dying old people"s lives?
B．reducing the problems caused by the retired people?
C．making profits through caring for the sick or weak people
?
D．taking care of the sick or weak people?
4．Which best describes the author"s attitude toward most of the nursing homes, and convalescent
hospitals??
A．Sympathetic.
B．Approving.
C．Optimistic.
D．Critical.
"pure beauty" in Zhang Yimou"s new movie Under the Hawthom Tree.《山揸树之恋》
The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Set at
the end of the "cultural revolution" (1966-1976), the pair manage to fall in love although they come form
different political environments.
Before it was released, moviegoers speculated (推测) on just what this "pure beauty" could be.
Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu-a
character so innocent that she believes simply lying on the same bed with a man will make her pregnant.
It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang, Zhou has "eyes
that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born of an ordinary worker"s family, the Shijiazhuang girl
was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.
While some teenagers consider such "pure beauty" illusory (虚幻的), others believe that it speaks of
something soulful.
Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within, thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of
Nanjing.
"Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it
doesn"t mean an ignorant or naive (天真的) person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is
always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn"t pass with time,"
she said.
B. A pure girl.
C. A romantic girl.
D. A silent girl
B. A girl has eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside.
C. A girl who was born into an ordinary worker"s family.
D. A girl wears accessories and make-up.
B. Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced.
C. It is of whether someone is always enthusiastic.
D. Purity is a matter of internal quality and doesn"t pass with time.
B. A debate on the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree
C. Opinions on the character Jingqiu
D. It"s hard to find the character Jingqiu
B. In the 1980s
C. In the 1970s
D. In the 1990s
travelers.
As early as the 18th century, wealthy French, Germans and Italians were treating the country as an
amusement center while, in the 19th century, it became the major holiday playground for the British nobles.
Today, it attracts visitors from all over the world.
The Swiss are clear about the importance of tourism to their economy, which makes up about eight
percent of the Gross Domestic Product, and helps industry greatly. Managers of hotels from all over the
world go to Switzerland to learn how to do the job, and a high standard can be expected from the great
majority of the country"s hotels, most of which are small and pride themselves on personalized service.
Public transport is the best in Europe. Both the Swiss Federal railways and the private railwa
ys are fully electric-powered, and the total network consists of about 5,000 kilometers of track.
Under the Fly Baggage system passengers can check luggage in at 116 railway stations and have it
automatically transferred to their flight. The national highway system is equally well planned, and the
mountain roads offer views of some of the country"s most breathtaking scenery. Also serving the mountains is an effective system of railways and cable ways, while more than 160 passenger cars cross the lakes and
rivers. Hiking in the mountains is equally popular with Swiss nationals and foreign visitors. For those who
want to view the country from a great height without having to climb the mountain themselves, it is always
possible to take in the view from a balloon.
B. thinks more about foreign travelers
C. has more convenient public transport
D. has more five-star hotels
B. rich Germans and Italians
C. British nobles

● Try to take part in activities. Call your friends. Plan to do something. The worst feeling is staying home alone, because it makes you feel even more lonely.
● Try to make new friends. Choose friends carefully, not just because you think they"re popular. And remember, making good friends takes time. Choosing a popular person to be friends with is okay, if they are nice.
● Be yourself (保持独立). If you want to become friends with someone who"s popular, don"t make yourself into someone you are not just to impress that person.
● Be nice. Be friendly. Be outgoing (开朗的). But don"t overdo it! Talk to trusted friends if you are feeling really bad. Or you might want to write it down ill a journal (期刊) or diary.

● Think up your own ideas. These suggestions might not work for everyone.

● Talk to the teacher if you feel comfortable doing this. Don"t be nasty (闹别扭的), but express your concerns (关心). Listen to the teacher, as well.
