Step Back in Time
Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us? One hundred years ago the average woman 1ived to be 45.But now,she Can live until at least 80.
One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after
ourselves better.We know which foods are good for US and what we have to eat to make sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and what to do to get better again.And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep our hearts beating healthily.
But in order that we don’t slip back into bad habits,let’s have a look at what life was like 100 years ago.
Families had between 15 and 20 children,athough many babies didn’t live long.Children suffered from lots of diseases,especially rickets(佝偻病)and scurvy(坏血病),which are both caused by bad diets.This is because many families were very poor and not able to feed their children well.
Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up, bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.
People didn’t have fridges until the 1920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills(窗台板),blocks of ice,or even burying it in the garden.
Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight lo earn money for their parents.If you had lived 100 years ago,you might well be selling matchsticks(火柴杆)(a job done by many children)or working with your dad by now.
16 On average women lived longer than men 1 00 years ago.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 People now enjoy longer lives for unknown reasons.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 A hundred years ago many kids died at all early age.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
19 Poor diets can lead to such diseases as rickets and scurvy.

English and English Community
1 There is no doubt that English is a useful language.The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese.
2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities.The people who make up the community share a common language.Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood (街坊),a village,or a city.More often they form a whole country.National boundaries,however,are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.
3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community.For convenience(方便),we may divide the speakers into two groups: one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers 1earn English as a second language for the purpose of education,commerce,and so on.
4 Learning a second language extends one’s vision and expands the mind.The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional(虚构的)lives of people and their culture;a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel.Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.

下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题,每道题后面有4个选项。请根据文章的内容,
从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案,涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇 U.S.Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer
Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more
likely to die of cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday.
In a special report on cancer and blacks.the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites.and they are more likely to die of the disease.
This could be because of unequal(不平等的)access to medical care,because blacks are more likely to have other diseases as well,and perhaps because of differences in the biology(生物学) of the cancer itself, the report added.
“In general,black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,”the report said.
“In describing cancer statistics for black Americans,this report recognizes that many of the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic differences and unequal access to medical care.”
The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check—ups(体格检查)earlier, when cancer is more treatable,and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role.
“The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts,”the organization said in a statement.
But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.“Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among black Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates(发生率),”said the report.
31 Black Americans are more likely to die of cancer than
A people in other countries.
B white Americans.
C a11 other Americans.
D their ancestors.
32 Which may NOT be a reason for higher cancer death rates among US blacks?
A Unequal access to medical care.
B Greater probability of having other diseases.
C Differences in the biology of the cancer.
D Early diagnosis.
33 Cancer is more treatable if it is detected
A in an early stage.
B in a late stage.
C all of a sudden.
D together with other diseases.
34 Public policy and education efforts may help to do away with
A death rates.
B various cancers.
C unfair social differences.
D biological differences.
35 Since 1 992,cancer death rates among black Americans
A have been going up and down.
B have remained stable.
C have increased.
D have fallen.

第五部分:补全短文
46 A 文章第一段提到,我们都曾感觉过疼痛。从空格前一句的内容,即“有些人很少遭受疼痛之苦”,可以推断空格处句子的内容应当与这一句的内容相反,即“另外一些人却总是遭受疼痛的袭击”。
47 C 空格前的句子讲到,疼痛是我们身体的警报系统。因此接下来的句子应该说明这样说的原因。
48 D 空格后一句讲到,然而,有关疼痛过程的新知识使医生得以更好地控制疼痛。由此可见,空格处句子的内容应与此句内容相反,即医生对疼痛过程了解得很少。
49 B 空格前一句中的“chemical and electrical signals”等词语是对空格处句子的很好提示。

54 A 根据上下文,癌细胞与正常细胞不一样,因此应选“Unlike”。
55 D 空格后面跟的是一定语从句,前面是“a lump of cancer cells”,因此只能选“which".
56 B 空格处的词语指的仍是句子中提到的“tumor”一词。
57 A 一个人若体内的正常组织遭受到癌细胞的破坏,那他一定会感到“very sick"。
58 B 有时癌细胞离开原发肿瘤,肯定是转移到“身体”的其他部位。
59 A 癌细胞离开原发肿瘤,转移到身体的其他部位,继续生长并形成新的肿瘤,这正
是癌“扩散”的方式。空格后句子的开头“The spread of a tumor”也提示空格处应选
“spreads”一词。
60 D 表达“被称为”之意,英语用“called”一词。
61 C 根据句子的内容,空格处应填“除非”一词。
62 A 根据上下文,空格处表示“能够”之意。
63 A 句子的意思是:患有癌症的人们仍旧喜欢做生病前喜欢做的事情。
64 C 由于新的癌症治疗方法的出现,战胜癌症的孩子们的数量一定是“上升”的。
65 B 根据空格后面的内容,即“建立自己的家庭”,可以推断空格处应填“结婚”一
词。
