This happy news was true of almost everyone except a small minority-o
nly 2 percent-who had experienced "ideal" co
nditions in their working life, anyway. "The results really say three things: that work puts an extra burden on the health of older workers, that the effects of this extra burden are largely relieved by retirement and, finally, that both the extra burden and the relief are larger when working co
nditions are poor," said Hugo Westerlund,lead author of a study published o
nline Nov. 9 in The Lancet. "This indicates that there is a need to provide opportunities for older workers to decrease the demands in their work out of co
ncern of their health and well-being. " But of course, added Westerlund, who is head of epidemiology at the Stress Research Institute at Stockholm University in Sweden"not all older workers suffer from poor perceived health. Many are indeed remarkably healthy and fit for work. But soo
ner or later, everyone has to slow down because of old age catching up. " Last week, the same group of researchers reported that workers slept better after retirement than before. "Sleep improves at retirement, which suggests that sleeping could be a mediator between work and perception of poor health, "Westerlund said. This study looked at what the same 15,000 French workers, most of them men, had to say a
bout their own health up to seven years pre-retirement and up to seven years post-retirement. As participants got closer to retirement age, their perception of their own health declined, but went up again during the first year of retirement. Those who reported being in poorer health declined from 19. 2 percent in the year prior to retirement to 14.3 percent by the end of the first year after retiring. According to the researchers, that means post-retirement levels of poor health fell to levels last seen eight years previously. The changes were seen in both men and women, across different occupations, and lasted through the first seven years of not punching the clock. Workers who felt worse before retirement and had lower working co
nditions reported greater improvements as soon as they retired, the team found. 16. Most of the newly retired feel younger and healthier than before. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentio

It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an im
portant chemical called dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movements. It lets your muscles move smoothly and do what you want them to do. When you have Parkinson's, these nerve cells break down. Then you no lo
nger have enough dopamine, and you have trouble moving the way you want to. 2 No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down. But scientists are doing a lot of research to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes, including aging and poisons in the environment. Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people. But so far, there is not enough proof to show that it is always inherited. 3 Tremor (颤抖) may be the first symptom you notice. It is one of the most common signs of the disease, although not everyone has it. Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or o
nly on one side of the body. It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you move the limb or you are asleep. In time, Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body, so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing or co
nstipation (便秘). In the laterstages of the disease, a person with Parkinson's may have a fixed or lank ex
pression, trouble speaking, and other problems. Some people have a decrease in mental skills. 4 At this time, there is no cure for Parkinson's disease. But there are several types of medicines that can co
ntrol the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with. You may need to take several medicines to get the best results. 23. Paragraph 1 __________. 24. Paragraph 2 __________. 25. Paragraph 3 __________. 26. Paragraph 4 __________. A. Means of Diagnosis of the Disease B. Tips for Patients with the Disease C. Common Treatment for the Disease D. Definition of Parkinson's Disease E. Possible causes of the Disease F. Typical Symptoms of the Disease 27. You'll find it hard to move the way you want to __________. 28. A lot of research is being done to find out __________. 29. One of the most common signs of Parkinson's is tremor__________. 30. A person with Parkinson's has to learn to live with the disease__________. A. what affects muscles all through your body B. if there isn't enough dopamine in your body C. which cannot be cured yet D. which may be the first symptom you notice E. if you have a fixed or blank ex
pression F. what causes Parkinson's disease 第4部分:阅读理解(第31~45题，每题3分,共45分) 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。 第一篇 Do Patients Trust Doctors Too Much Earlier this year, the American College of Surgeons, the natio
nal scientific and educatio
nal organization of surgeons co
nducted a natio
nwide survey that found that the average patient devotes an hour or less to researching his or her surgery or surgeon. While prospective patients worry a
bout the costs or complications of an operation, they don't necessarily look for information that would address their concerns. In fact, more than a third of patients who had an operation in the last five years never reviewed the credentials of the surgeon who operated. Patients are more likely to spend time researching a job change (on average, a
bout 10 hours) or a new car (8 hours) than the operation they are a
bout to submit to or the surgeon who wields (支配) the knife. And many patients are satisfied with the answers they receive from their surgeons or primary care doctors, whoever those individuals happen to be. I felt curious a
bout the survey, so I called Dr. Thomas Russell, executive director of the American College of Surgeons. "There is a tendency for patients not to get particularly involved and not to feel compelled to look into their surgery or surgeons."He told me. There are co
nsequences to that kind of blind trust. "Today, medicine and surgery are really team sports." Dr. Russell continued,"and the patient, as the ultimate decision maker , is the most im
portant member of the team. Mistakes can happen, and patients have to be educated and must understand what is going on. " In other words, a healthy doctor-patient relatio
nship does not simply entail good bedside manners and respo
nsible office management on the part of the doctor. It also requires that patients come to the relatio
nship educated a
bout their doctors, their illnesses and their treatment. "If we are truly going to reform the health care system in the US," Dr.Russell said,"everybody has to participate actively and must educate themselves. That means doctors, nurses, other health care professionals, lawyers pharmaceutical (制药的) companies, and insurance companies. But most of all, it means the patient." Trust is im
portant. But as Sir Francis Bacon, who was among the first to understand the im
portance of gathering data in science, o
nce observed , knowledge is power. 31. According to the author, patients should spend more time _________. A. researching the American College of Surgeons B. researching their surgery or surgeons C. researching new cars D. researching job changes 32. Nowadays patients seem to have _________. A. too much trust in their doctors B. too much information a
bout their doctors C. too little faith in their doctors D. a healthy relatio
nship with their doctors 33. Medicine and surgery are now really team sports in which _________. A. patients and doctors play equally im
portant roles B. the patient does not have an active role to play C. doctors have the final say in almost everything D. the patient has the most im
portant role to play 34. It is wrong to think that a healthy doctor-patient relatio
nship _________. A. is dependent just on the doctor B. is a goal that can be achieved C. entails any effort on the part of the patient D. is what the patient truly desires 35. The author does NOT believe in_________. A. lots of scientific data B. Francis Bacon C. blind trust D. too much knowledge 第二篇 CT Scans and Lung Cancer Small or slow-growing nodules (小结节) discovered on a lung scan are unlikely to develop into tumors over the next two years, researchers reported on Wednesday. The findings reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, could help doctors decide when to do more aggressive testing for lung cancer. They could also help patients avoid unnecessarily aggressive and potentially harmful testing when lesions (损伤) found. Lung cancer, the biggest cancer killer in the United States and globally, is often not diagnosed until it has spread. It kills 159,000 people a year in the United States alone. The work is part of a larger effort to develop guidelines to help doctors decide what to do when such growths, often discovered by accident, appear in a scan. High-tech (高技术的) X-rays called CT scans can detect tumors-but they see all sorts of other blobs (模糊的一团 ) that are not tumors, and often the o
nly way to tell the difference is to take a biopsy (活检), a dangerous procedure. At the moment, routine lung cancer screening is co
nsidered impractical because of its high cost and because too many healthy people are called back for further testing. Good guideline could help make lung cancer screening practical, Dr. Rob van Kiaveren of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, who led the new study, said in a telephone interview. The team looked at7,557 people at high risk for lung cancer because they were current and former smokers. All received multidetector (多层螺旋) CT scans that measured the size of any suspicious-looking modules. Volunteers who had nodules over 9.7 mm in width, or had growth of 4.6 mm that grew fast enough to more than double in volume every 400 days, were sent for further testing. Of the 196 people who fell into that category, 70 were found to have lung cancer，10 additio
nal cases were found years later. But of the 7, 361 who tested negative during screening o
nly 20 lung cancer cases later developed. In a second round of screening done one year after the first, 1.8 percent were sent to the doctor because they had a nodule that was large or fast-growing. More than half turned out to have lung cancer. The result means that if the screening test says you don't have lung cancer, you probably don't,the researcher said. "The chances of finding lung cancer one and two years after a negative first-round test were l in l,000 and 3 in l,000 respectively, " they concluded. 36. The new study indicates that in case of small or slow-growing lung nodules_________. A. you cannot be too careful B. cancer is just matter of time C. a biopsy is unnecessary D. more aggressive testing is a must 37. Which is probably NOT true of lung cancer? A. Smokers are usually co
nsidered to be at high risk for it. B. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths around the world. C. 159,000 new cases of it are diagnosed in the US each year. D. It often goes unnoticed until it has spread. 38. According to the passage, good guidelines for lung cancer screening ________. A. are a little bit too costly B. do not exist yet C. are being implemented D. have been developed 39. All the following statements are true EXCEPT________. A. a relatively small number of the volunteers had large or fast-growing nodules B. almost all those with large or fast-growing nodules were found to have lung cancer C. all the volunteers were at high risk for lung cancer D. most of the volunteers tested negative during screening 40. In the eyes of the researchers the percentages given in the last paragraph ________. A. are somewhat inaccurate B. are pretty small C. are rather high D. are quite unbelievable 第三篇 The Iceman On 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, or 3,200 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 for a wound in the head. There was still skin on the bo
nes 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 boots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark (树皮) and a holder for arrows. 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 a
bout 5,300 years old. Born in a
bout 3300 BC, he lived during the Bro
nze 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 o
nly a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almostcertainly 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, or he 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 a
bout the times he lived in. We may never know the full story of how he died, but he has given us im
portant clues to the history of those distant times. 41. The body of the iceman was found in the mountains mainly because _________. A. the melted ice made him visible B. he was just on a mountain pass C. two Germans were climbing the mountains D. he was lying on the ice 42. What can be inferred from paragraph2? A. The Iceman was struck dead from behind. B. The Iceman could have died from the wound in the head. C. The Iceman was killing while working. D. The Iceman lived a poor life. 43. All the following are assumptions o
nce made a
bout the Iceman EXCEPT _________. A. he was a Swiss woman's long-lost father B. he came from Italy C. he was a soldier in World War I D. he was born a
bout a thousand years ago 44. The scientists made the deduction that the Iceman _________. A. had got a wound on the back of his head B. had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death C. was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead D. was probably in some' kind of a battle 45. The word "bandits" in paragraph 4 could be best replac
ed by _________. A. soldiers B. hunters C. robbers D. shooters 第5部分：补全短文（第46~50题，每题2分，共10分） 下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。 Know Just How You Feel Do you feel Sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the ex
pression of the most perso
nal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD displaying every possible human emotion. It demo
nstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel: the first visual dictio
nary of the human heart. Attempts to classify ex
pressions began in the mid-1800s, when Darwin divided the emotions into six types-anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. ________(46) Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin's small group. More complex ex
pression of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial ex
pressions are shared worldwide. ________(47) The mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record' of these ex
pressions. The project was co
nducted by a C ambridge professor as an aid for people with autism (孤独症), who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses. Actors and teachers, for example, need to understand a wide range of ex
pressions. The professor and his research team first had to define an "emotion".________(48) Using this definition, 1,512 emotion terms were identified and discussed. This list was eventually reduced t0 412, from"afraid" to"wanting". o
nce these emotions were defined and classified, a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to display them. In Mind Reading, each ex
pression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds. _________(49) The explanation for this is simple: we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words, but we instantly recognize one when we see it on someone's face."It was really clear when the actors had got it right, " says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD. " Although they were given some direction," says Ms Collis, "the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move. _________(50) " For example, when someone feels co
ntempt you can't say for certain that their eyebrows always go down. Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who has built a databa
se of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called"action units". These can be combined into more than 10, 000 visible facial shapes. Ekman has written out a pattem of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion. A. He said that the ex
pression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone, from any culture. B. Any other method of showing all the 412 emotions, such as words, would have been far less effective. C. Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read emotio
nal ex
pressions. D. They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by "I feel" or "he looks" or "she sounds". E. We thought of trying to describe each emotion, but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this. F. These particular muscles are difficult to control, and few people can do it. 第6部分：完形填空（第51~65题，每题1分，共15分） 下面的短文有15处空白，请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1个最佳选项。 Skin Cancer Melanoma (黑素瘤), the deadliest kind of skin cancer is now the most common cancer in________(51) British women, the country's leading cancer organization said Wednesday.

sed on current numbers Cancer Research UK predicts that melanoma will become the fourth_______(57) common cancer for men and women of all ages by 2024, and that cases will jump from a
bout 9,0000 cases a year to more than 15,500. Cancer experts _______(58) the rising number of skin cancer cases largely to the surge in people using tanning salons. "Spending time on sun beds is just as _______(59)as staying out too long in the sun," said Caroline Cerny of Cancer Research UK. The organization is starting a SunSmart _______(60) to warn Britons of the dangers of being too bronzed. "The intensity of ultraviolet rays in some sun beds can be more than 10_______(61) stro
nger than the midday sun," Cerny said. In the United States, several states require parental approval _______(62) minors can use tanning salons. Wisco
nsin bans people 16 and _______(63) from using tanning beds, and others ban children under 14. At least 29 states have regulations governing minors use of tanning salons. In the UK, Scottish politicians passed legislation banning these under 18 from using tanning beds, though it hasn't yet been implemented. There are no plans for _______(64) in the rest of the UK. The world Health Organization has previously recommended that tanning beds be regulated because of their potential to damage DNA in the skin. Experts said most deadly skin cancers could be ______(65) if people took the proper precautions when in the sun and avoided tanning beds. 51. A. young B. married C. middle-aged D. elderly 52.

[解析]即该句表述正确。从第一段我们知道调查显示刚退休的人健康状况都有好转，他们更声称自己年轻了8岁。而第二段告诉我们有少部分人不认为自己健康有所改善。 17．B [解析]即该句表述不正确。从第三段我们了解到工作会给年龄大的人带来额外的负担，并且对健康有很大的影响，因此不能像要求年轻人一样要求他们。 18．C [解析]即文中并未提到。通读本文，作者并未提到老年工作者与年轻工作者如何相处的话题。 19．C [解析]即文中并未提及。文中并未谈到欧洲人是否比其他地方的人老得快。 20．A[解析]即该句表述正确。从第五段和第六段我们知道该研究针对的是退休前退休后的老人对自己健康状况的自述。因此该句是正确的。 21．B [解析]即该句表述不正确。从第五段我们知道该调查是对法国老人健康的调查。 22．C[解析]即文中并未提及。文章并未提到这项研究的发现是否适用于全世界。 参考译文 退休给大部分人一个改善健康的机会 一份新的来自欧洲的调查显示，刚退休的人自言健康状况得到了很大改善，以至于大部分人感觉自己年轻了8岁。 几乎每个人都认同这个令人愉快的消息，除了一少部分人--他们仅占被测全体人员的2％，无论怎样，这些人都经历过职业生涯的完美状态。 11月9日在网络版《柳叶刀》杂志上刊登了一项研究，其主要作者Hugo westerlund说： "结果说明以下三点：(1)工作给年纪大的劳动者带来额外的负担，(2)额外负担对身体产生的影响因为退休而得到缓解，(3)在工作环境恶化的情况下身体上的额外负担和退休所带来的缓解都会更大。这也说明出于健康的考虑，我们需要为上年纪的工人提供机会以降低对他们工作的要求。" westerluncl在瑞典斯德哥尔摩大学压力研究学院主持流行病学的研究，他同时补充说： "并不是所有年纪大的工人健康状况都不好。很多人非常健康且适宜工作。但随着年纪越来越大每个人早晚都得减缓生活的脚步。" 上周，同_研究团队的报告指出工人们退休后比退休前睡得更好。Westerlunci说，退休后睡眠质量的提高说明睡眠质量可能是影响工作和身体状况之间关系的介质。 这一研究调查的是15，000位法国工人对于退休前7年和退休后7年身体状况的自述，他们大多都是男性。 随着参与调查的对象越来越接近退休年龄，他们对自身健康的认知在降低，但是在退休的第一年这一认知又提高了。 自称身体状况差的人从退休前一年的19．2％降到退休后第一年底的14．3％。据调查人员说这意味着退休后身体差的比率回到了8年前对他们考察的水平。 无论男女，无论从事何种职业，都存在这种变化，它会持续到不用打卡上下班后的第一个7年。 研究小组还发现那些退休前身体状况不佳，或工作条件差的人退休后身体状况改善的幅度更大。 第3部分：概括大意与完成句子 23．D [解析]即帕金森综合征的定义。本段的中心意思是告诉大家什么是帕金森氏综合征。 24．E[解析]即导致疾病产生的可能原因。本段主要探讨的是这种疾病发生的原因。 25．F[解析]即疾病的典型症状。本段告诉我们帕金森氏综合征的一些典型的病症，如颤抖、吞咽困难及便秘，等等。 26．C [解析]即通常的治疗方法。从本段我们知道，虽然还不能治愈，但是通过几种药物是可以控制患者的病症的。 27．B[解析]即如果你不再有足够的多巴胺就会发现你想随心所欲的行动变得困难。根据第一段我们知道这里应该选B。 28．F[解析]即科学家做了很多研究试图发现导致帕金森综合征的病因。从第二段的叙述我们知道应该选F。 29．D [解析]即帕金森病最常见的病症是颤抖，它可能是你发现的第一个症状。从第三段的叙述我们知道应该选D。 30．C [解析]患帕金森综合征的人必须得学会同这种疾病共处，因为现在人们还无法治愈它。从最后一段我们得知应该选择C项。 参考译文 帕金森氏综合征 帕金森氏综合征会影响你行动的方式。当大脑的某些神经细胞出现问题时，这种疾病就会爆发。正常情况下，这些神经细胞会产生一种叫多巴胺的重要的化学物质。多巴胺会向你的大脑中控制行为的部分发出信号。它使你的肌肉能活动自如，做你想做的事。一旦你患上帕金森氏综合征，这些神经细胞就会出问题。接着，你不再有足够的多巴胺，并开始行动困难。 没人知道什么促使这些神经细胞出现问题。但是，科学家们做了很多研究来寻找答案。他们研究了很多可能的病因，包括年龄老化和环境污染。在某些人身上，似乎是不正常的基因导致了帕金森氏综合征的发病。但是目前没有足够的证据表明它是遗传的。 颤抖可能是你注意到的第一个症状。虽然并不是每一位患者都有这种症状，但是它是这种疾病最常见的表现之一。更重要的是，并不是每一个颤抖的人都患有帕金森氏综合征。颤抖往往从一条胳膊，一条腿或身体的一侧开始。这种情况在你醒着但是没有移动受影响的胳膊或者腿时更严重些。但是当你移动肢体或睡眠时情况会有所缓和。不久，帕金森氏综合征会影响你的全身肌肉，导致吞咽困难及便秘。在疾病后期，患这种病的人可能会有表情僵化，言语困难及其他一些问题。一些患者也会思维退化。 现在还没有办法治愈帕金森氏综合征。但是有几种药物能控制症状并让患者好受些。如果你的症状很轻微的话，你可能根本不需要治疗。直到你的症状影响到你的日常生活方式时，医生才会给你开药。伴随着你的症状的恶化，医生将会调整用药。为了得到最好的疗效你得吃几种药。 第4部分：阅读理解 第一篇 31．B[解析]本题是细节题。从第一段和第二段的表述中我们知道，有三分之一的患者不愿花时间对手术和做手术的医生进行调查，这比他们在换一份新工作或一辆新车上花的时间还要少。 32．A [解析]本题是理解题。从第四段我们知道，患者对医生有一种盲目的信任。 33．D [解析]本题是细节题。从第四段我们知道，在治疗的团队里，患者是最重要的成员。 34．A [解析]本题是理解题。文章通篇在讨论的是患者对医生及手术缺乏了解，及健康的医患关系应当包含患者的参与。因此A项提到的健康的医患关系只依赖医生是错误的，因此选A。 35．C[解析]本题是细节理解题。最后一段，作者提到培根是为了验证知识很重要的观点，因此他肯定是相信培根及培根的观点的，唯独不相信的是盲目的信任，因此选C。 参考译文 患者太相信医生了吗 今年早些时候，全国外科医生科研教育组织--美国外科医生联合会进行了一项全国性的调查，发现平均每个患者花一小时或者更少的时间研究他或者她的外科手术或外科医生。即将入院的人会担心手术的费用和复杂程度，但不一定会去查找能解决他们的忧虑的信息。 实际上，在过去5年里动过手术的患者中有三分之一还多的人从没有仔细核查过为他们做手术的医生的从业资格。患者更倾向于花时间调查一份新工作(平均花10小时)或一辆新车(8小时)而不是他们马上要申请做的手术或向他们挥舞手术刀的医生。而且很多患者对他们从外科医生或者护理医生那里得到的回答都很满意，无论他们咨询的对象是谁，结果也会是这样。 我对这项调查很感兴趣，因此就打电话给美国外科医生联合会的行政主管Thomas Russell大夫。他告诉我："患者们确实不想参与过多或者不想感到被强迫着调查他们的手术或医生。" 这种盲目的信任会导致几种结果。Thomas Russell医生继续说道："今天，医疗和外科手术都是团队协作的。而患者是最终做决定的人，是这个团队中最重要的成员。确实会有失误，患者必须被指导并且了解正在进行的事情。" 换而言之，一种健康的医患关系不是简单的医生对病人良好的态度或是对医生负责任的办公室管理机制。它还需要患者真正走入这种关系，使他们对医生、自己患的疾病以及治疗方法都有了解。 Russell医生说："如果我们真要改革美国的医疗保障制度，每个人都应该积极参与并教育自己。这对医生、护士、其他的医疗保障专家、制药公司的律师及保险公司都有重大意义。然而，最重要的是对患者有意义。" 信任很重要。佛朗西斯·培根是最早理解科学上收集数据重要性的人之一。正像他曾经观察到的：知识就是力量。 第二篇 36．C[解析]本题是细节题。根据第一段的叙述我们知道肺部扫描发现的小的生长缓慢的结节在其后的两年里不会发展成肿瘤。因此活检或是进一步的检查是不需要的。 37．C [解析]本题是细节题。选项A、B、D在文中第三和第八段中都提到过，而选项C所讲的159，000人被确诊肺癌不符合第二段中提到的159，000人死于肺癌的事实。 38．D [解析]本题是细节题。根据文章第四段我们知道专家们正在发展完善对医生的指导方针。 39．B [解析]本题是细节题。根据文章第十一段我们知道A项正确、B项错误；由第八段知C项正确；由第十段知D项正确。 40．B[解析]本题是理解题。根据最后一段，我们知道这个患病比率在专家那里是忽略不计的，如果检查表明你没有患肺癌，你就可能不会得。 参考译文 CT扫描与肺癌 周三调查者们报道，肺部扫描发现的小的生长缓慢的结节在其后的两年里不会发展成肿瘤。 新英格兰医学杂志上刊登的这些发现有助于医生决定何时做更进一步的肺癌检测。同时也能帮助患者避免在发现损伤时做不必要的进一步的或潜在的有伤害的检查。 作为美国甚至全世界最大的癌症杀手，肺癌常常是直到扩散时才被诊断出。每年，仅仅在美国就有159，000人死于肺癌。 这项工作是致力于完善指导方针工作的一部分，意在帮助医生决定对扫描中常常偶然发现的这种肿块采取何种措施。 被称为CT扫描的高科技x射线能够探测到肿瘤--但它们探测到的是模糊一团。区别的唯一办法是一种非常危险的程序，即活检。 现在，常规的肺癌检查被认为是不实际的，因为它花费高，而且很多健康的人被召回做更进一步的检查。 荷兰鹿特丹Erasmus医学中心指导这项新研究的Rob van kiaveren医生在电话采访中说好的指导方针能让肺癌检查更实用。 这个研究小组检查了7，557位肺癌高患病风险者，因为他们现在或曾经是烟民。所有人都接受了多层螺旋CT扫描，这种扫描能测量任何可疑块状物的尺寸。 那些有9．7毫米宽小结节的或有在400天里体积增长超过一倍的4．6毫米宽肿块的志愿会接受更进一步的检查。这个类别的196人中有70人发现患了肺癌，10人几年后发现肺癌。 但是检查中7，361位查出阴性的志愿者中仅有20例患了肺癌。 第一次检查一年后的第二轮检查中，有1．8％的人因为有大的结节或结节生长过快而被送去就医。这其中超过一半的人最终患了肺癌。 调查人员说，这一结果表明，如果检查表明你没有患肺癌，你就可能不会得。他们总结说： "在第一轮检查后是阴性的患者一年及两年后患肺癌的几率是1：1000和3：1000。" 第三篇 41．A[解析]本题是细节考查题。从第一段中我们知道因为天气暖和，冰雪消融，冰人才露了出来。而其他几项所列原因都不是主要原因。 42．B [解析]本题是理解题。根据第二段的细节描写，我们推测他可能是因为头上的伤而致死的。 43．B [解析]本题是细节题。根据文章第三段我们知道只有选项B没有提及。 44．D[解析]本题是理解题。本题其余的选项都是事实而不是推断。 45．C [解析]本题是理解题。由上下文推测该词的意思是"强盗"。 参考译文 冰人 1991年9月的一天，两个德国人正在攀登位于奥地利和意大利之间的山脉，在山上一处要隘发现了一具躺在冰上的尸体。在那个高度(10，499英尺，3，200米)，山上是常年结冰的，但是1991年特别温暖。山上的冰比往年融化得多，因此尸体就出现在冰面上了。 这具尸体面部朝下。除了头上的伤外，骨骼很完整。骨头上仍然保留着皮肤和衣物的残留。手上攥着一把斧头的木头把，脚上还穿着皮革布料制成的靴子。旁边还有一双树皮制成的手套和一个箭托。 这人是谁?他怎么样死的?何时死的?每个人对这些问题都有不同的回答。一些人认为这是本世纪死于第一次世界大战的士兵的尸体，因为这一区域有好几个士兵的尸体被发现了。 一位瑞士妇女认为那人是她父亲，他二十多年前死于这片山峦上而且尸体从未被找到过。蜂拥而至察看这具尸体的科学家们认为它的年代更久远，也许有一千多年了。 用现代断代技术，科学家们很快就发现这个冰人大约有5，300岁了。生于公元前3300年，他生活在青铜器时代的欧洲。最初，科学家们认为他可能是一位死于高山上一场意外的猎户。然而更多的证据却显示了一个完全不同的故事。一种新型的x射线显示他的肩膀上仍然插着一个箭头。它仅在他的皮肤上留下了微小的孔，但是却导致体内损伤和出血。他基本上肯定是由于这个伤口致死，而不是死于头后部的伤口。这表明他可能死于某场战斗中。也许这是一场大战役的一部分，或者他是死于同强盗搏斗中。又或者他本身就是一个强盗。 通过研究他的衣物和工具，科学家们得到了很多关于他生活的年代的信息。虽然我们永远都不会知道他是如何死的，但是他却已经让我们了解了很多关于那个遥远年代的重要历史线索。 第5部分：补全短文 46．A[解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上句是说"达尔文将情绪分为6种类型--愤怒，害怕，悲伤，厌恶，惊奇和欣赏。"下句肯定是于此相关的，A项里的he指代的就是达尔文，因此只能选A。 47．C [解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。前面讲了对人的感情表达上的研究，后面就要提到在这一领域其他方面的研究。 48．D [解析]本句之前提到了教授和他的研究团队为"情感"下定义，根据上下文的意思，推断此句应为情感的具体定义。这里只有D项符合题意。 49．B [解析]后面一句是对这一句的解释，讲的是从人脸上辨认情绪要比从语言描述中辨认更容易，因此只有B项合适。 50．F[解析]前面讲的是虽然演员们会接受某些指导，但是不会确切去指示他们动哪里的面部肌肉。与此相关的仅有F选项。 参考译文 知道你是如何想的 你感到悲伤吗?还是幸福?或者愤怒呢?也许你认为自己表现这些感情的方式是独一无二的。好，再想想。根据一个读懂思维仪器，即可展现每一种可能的人类情感的DVD，就算是最个人的情感表情也可以被归类。它展示了412种我们感觉到的不同方式：是第一部人类内心的视觉词典。 对情感归类尝试始于19世纪中叶，那时达尔文将情绪分为6种类型--愤怒，害怕，悲伤，厌恶，惊奇和欣赏。他说这些感觉的表达对来自任何文化的每个人来讲都是一样的，是可辨认的。所有其它感觉都源于达尔文确定的这几种类型。更复杂些的情绪表达也可能被认，因此对每种文化而言更具体。但是人们认为更多的面部表情是世界性的。也有研究是为了找到大脑中理解感情表达的区域。读懂思维DVD是对这些表情的系统视觉收录。 由剑桥大学的一位教授实施的这项计划是为了帮助患孤独症的人，他们在理解别人和表达自己的感情方面都有困难。但是很快这项计划显示出更广泛的用途。比如，演员和教师需要了解各种各样的表情。这位教授同他的研究团队首先给"情感"下了定义。他们将其定义为：情感是一种含有"我觉得"或"他看起来"以及"她听起来"意味的思想状态。利用这个定义，有1，512个情感术语被鉴定和讨论。最终列举到名单上的术语降到从"担心"到"需要"的412个。 一旦这些情感被定义和归类，DVD成了最清楚最有效的展现它们的方式。在读懂思维里，每个表情都由6个不同的演员在三秒内完成。任何其他表现这412种表情的方式，例如，说话，都远远不如它有效。原因很简单：我们可能觉得用话语描述感情很困难，但是我们在看到一个人脸上的表情时会立刻认出来。这部DVD的导演Cathy Collis说："当演员们表演准确时表情就特别明显。虽然他们会接受某些指导，但是不会被确切告知动哪里的面部肌肉。"这些具体的肌肉是很难控制的，没几个人能做到。比如，当人们感觉你不确定某事时，他们的眉毛总是向下。 有人试图创建一些规范，他就是美国的Paul Ekman教授。他已经为每种表情创建了一个数据库。面部可以做出43种被称为"运动单元"的不同的肌肉动作。这些肌肉动作可以被融入10，000多个可视的面部轮廓里。Ekman已经描述出了代表每一种情感的面部肌肉动作的模式。 第6部分：完形填空 51．A [解析]由第一段的最后一句我们知道这项新发现是关于20多岁的年轻女子的，因此只能选A。 52．A [解析]该句是说皮肤癌已经超过宫颈癌成为危害20多岁女性的最大癌症杀手。oveltake意思是"赶上，超过"；oversee意思是"监管，监督"；overlook意思是"忽略，忽视"；ovetwhelm意思是"打击，压倒"。 53．C [解析]该句讲的是这一趋势特别令人担忧，因为年轻人并不是最容易患黑素瘤的人群。其他几个选项不符合句意。encouraging"使人鼓舞的"；misleading"误导人的"； booming"迅速发展的"。 54．D [解析]前一句讲到年轻人患该病不同寻常，后一句肯定要讲通常情况是如何的。occasionallly"偶然的"；hopefully"有希望的"；surprisingly"令人惊讶的"；typically"通常的，典型的"，因此选D。 55．D [解析]该句的意思是专家担心越来越多的年轻人被诊断患有皮肤癌也许是一个危险的趋势的开始。其他选项都不符合句意。 56．A [解析]make up是固定搭配"占……的比重"；make on"在某方面获利"；make off "离开，逃走"；make to没有这种搭配。因此只能选A。 57．A [解析]固定说法，序数词跟形容词或副词最高级搭配，该句意思是英国癌症研究会预测到2024年黑素瘤将成为所有年龄段的男性和女性中第四大癌症。 58．D [解析]短语attribute to的意思是"归因于"，该句讲的是癌症专家将皮肤癌病例的激增归因于对晒黑美容沙龙偏爱人数的增多。allocate意思是"分配"；associate意思是"联系"：contribute意思是"做贡献"。 59．B [解析]本句是说花时间躺在太阳床上跟在太阳底下待的时间太长一样危险。ineffective意思是"无效果的"；eXImusting意思是"令人精疲力竭的"；comfortable意思是"令人舒服的"。 60．B[解析]campaign意思是"运动，斗争"，该句意思是该研究会将开展聪明的太阳运动来警告那些晒得太黑的英国人。execuIion意思是"处死"；reaction"反应"；conquest意思是 "击败，征服"，都不符合句意。 61．C [解析]该句是说一些太阳床上紫外线的密集程度是正午太阳的十倍还多。表示倍数的只有time，因此只能选C。 62．C [解析]该句是说有几个州要求年轻人去晒黑美容前要得到父母的允许。因此只能选C。 63．D [解析]表示16岁以下只能用under，因此选D。 64．C [解析]这里是拿英国的情况同美国做比较，英国除了苏格兰外其它地方并没有相应的立法。这里只能选C。 65．A [解析]该句意思是如果人们在太阳下采取正确的防范措施或避免使用晒黑床，大部分致命的皮肤癌是可以避免的。diagnose意思是"诊断"；predicte"预测"；treate"治疗"，都不符合句意．因此选A。 参考译文 皮肤癌 周三国内顶尖的癌症组织声称黑素瘤--一种最致命的皮肤癌现在已经成为英国年轻女性中最常见的癌症。根据英国癌症研究会的最新数据，皮肤癌已经超过宫颈癌，成为危害20多岁女性的最大癌症杀手。 这一趋势特别令人担忧，因为年轻人并不是最容易患黑素瘤的人群。通常皮肤癌患病率最高的是75岁以上的人群。 然而专家担心越来越多的年轻人被诊断患有皮肤癌也许是一个危险的趋势的开始。在英国20多岁的女性患者仅占所有被确诊病患的一小部分，但是所有案例中的近三分之一是50岁以下的人群。 基于现在的数据，英国癌症研究会预测到2024年黑素瘤将成为所有年龄段的男性和女性中第四大癌症，而且发病率会从每年9，000例增至15，500多例。 癌症专家将皮肤癌病例的激增归因于对晒黑美容沙龙偏爱人数的增多。英国癌症研究会的Caroline Cemy说："花时间躺在太阳床上跟在太阳底下待的时间太长一样危险。"该研究会将开展聪明的太阳运动来警告那些晒得太黑的英国人。 Cerny还说："一些太阳床上紫外线的密集程度是正午太阳的十倍还多。" 在美国，有几个州要求未成年人去晒黑美容前要得到父母的允许。威斯康星州禁止16岁及以下的孩子使用晒黑床，而其它州则禁止14岁以下的孩子使用。至少有29个州对未成年人使用晒黑床有规范限制。 在英国，虽然苏格兰政府已经通过立法禁止18周岁以下的青少年使用晒黑床，但是还没有正式执行。而英国其它地方还没有这方面立法的计划。 世界卫生组织曾经建议限制使用晒黑床，因为它们对皮肤中的DNA有潜在的破坏。 专家们说如果人们在太阳下采取正确的防范措施或避免使用晒黑床，大部分致命的皮肤癌是可以被避免的。
