36、第四篇 Suntans and Skin Cancer Between now (June) and Labor Day, millions of Americans will offer up thei r bodies to the sun’s rays. A tan indicates health and beauty, and most sun wors hippers will sacrifice a lot to achieve it ? Including themselves. With each hou r, the sun’s ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation produces irrever sible (不可逆的) dam age, hastening the development of unsightly wrinkles. And with each year on the beach or rooftop, the sunbather increases his risk of getting skin cancer. Skin cancer is by far the most common form of cancer. An estimated 400,000 new cases will be detected this year in the United States, and almost all of th em can be blamed on overexposure to the sun. Fortunately, most of these cancers are highly curable. But they can be disfiguring and take time to treat. For that reason, sun worshippers should treat deity with a good deal of awe ( 敬畏). Sunburn, of course, is the initial hazard posed by UV radiation. Prolonged exposure to UV, however, interferes with the production of collagen fibers in t he dermis, causing the skin to lose elasticity and creating premature wrinkles. Further deterioration of the dermis deprives the epidermis of nutrition and caus es it to b***me thin and dry. Cancer is UV’s final insult. Shortwave radiant energy, especially from the UV-B band, breaks the strands of DNA. Enzymes work constantly to rearrange the DNA into proper sequence, but with repeated UV exposure, the repair process may eventually break down. Then the mutant DNA may produce a colony of cancer cells. But skin cancer may be avoided with a good dose of common sense. People wi th fair skin and blue eyes who burn easily stand the highest risk. Special dange r spots are the parts of the body most constantly exposed to the sun, such as th e cheeks, nose, lower lip and the ears. People who have already developed precan cerous lesions or had one skin-cancer growth stand a greatly increased chance of developing others. Dermatologists r***mmend avoiding the sun when it is most in tense?between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Anyone who insists on sunbathing should use a g ood sun screen. These lotions and salves contain chemicals, such as para-aminobe nzoic acid, that block out the burning UV-B radiation while permitting the tanni ng rays to reach the skin.According to the passage, overexposure to the sun may result in____

   A.the wrinkles that cannot be seen.

   B.The skin cancer.

   C.all kinds of sacrifices.

   D.healthful beauty.

37、(同36题)The word /!deity" in the s***nd paragraph refers to_____

   A.something mysterious.

   B.the skin cancer.

   C.the sun.

   D.overexposure to the sun.

38、(同36题)Which of the following comes first as a possible damage by UV radiation?____

   A.Sunburn.

   B.The loss of skin elasticity.

   C.Dryness of epidermis.

   D.The deterioration of dermis.

39、(同36题)Why does the repair process of the DNA may finally fail?____

   A.Because shortwave radiant energy breaks the strands of the DNA.

   B.Because the DNA may produce a colony of cancer cells.

   C.Because enzymes work to rearrange the DNA into a new order.

   D.Because the patient is exposed to UV from time to time.

40、(同36题)The last paragraph of the passage mainly discusses____

   A.the treatment of the skin cancer.

   B.the prevention of the skin cancer.

   C.the parts of the body where cancer is most likely to develop.

   D.the lotions that work best in fighting against the skin cancer.

41、第五篇 Smoking and Cancer Americans smoke six thousands million cigarettes every year (1970 figures). This is roughly the equivalent of 4195 cigarettes a year for every person in the country of 18 years of age or more. It is estimated that 51 % of American men s moke compared with 34 % of American women. Since 1939, numerous scientific studies have been conducted to determine whe ther smoking is a health hazard. The trend of the evidence has been consistent a nd indicates that there is a serious health risk. Research teams have conducted studies that show beyond all reasonable doubt that tobacco smoking, particularly cigarette smoking is associated with a shortened life expectancy. Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this field to be a n important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the t hroat. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than O n-smoking males. Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply. The majority of physicians and researchers consider these relationships proved to their satisfaction and say, ’Give up smoking! If you don’t smoke, don’t start! ’ . It might be helpful to look at what tobacco-smoking actually does to the hum an body. Smoke is a mixture of gases, vaporized chemicals, minute particles of a sh, and other solids. There is also nicotine, which is a powerful poison, and bl ack tar. As the smoke is breathed in, all these components form deposits on the membranes of the lungs. One point of concentration of deposits is where the air tube divides. Most lung cancer begins at this point. Smoking also affects the heart and blood vessels. It is known to be related to Beurger’s disease, a narrowing of the small veins in the hands and feet that can cause great pain. Smokers also die much more often from heart disease. While all tobacco-smoking affects life expectancy and health, cigarette smok ing appears to have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking. However, n icotine consumption is not diminished by the latter forms, and current research indicates a causal relationship between all forms of smoking and cancer of the m outh and throat. Filters and low tar tobacco are claimed to make smoking to some extent safer, but they can only marginally reduce, not eliminate the hazards.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the info rmation given in the passage? ____

   A.Tobacco smoking can cause life-shortening diseases.

   B.There are twice as many men smokers as women smokers in the U. S. According to the 1970 figures.

   C.Filters can only decrease rather than eliminate the harm to the human body.

   D.In the smoke there is nicotine which is an important factor in the development of cancer of some organs.

42、(同41题)The statement "be associated with a shortened life expectancy" in the s***nd aragraph signifies____

   A./!cause a life expectancy to shorten".

   B./!be caused by a shortened life expectancy".

   C./!will change with the shortened life expectancy".

   D./!will cause from the shortened life expectancy".

43、(同41题)Female smokers are probably less affected by heart disease because____

   A.cigarettes women smoke are treated in a special way.

   B.tissue of the heart can get rid of the poisonous elements.

   C.they inhale the smoke less deeply.

   D.they, in most cases, pretend to be smokers.

44、(同41题)Tobacco smoke is a mixture____

   A.of two poisonous elements.

   B.of various poisonous substances.

   C.of some irritant gases.

   D.of carbon dioxide and water vapour.

45、(同41题)Harmfulness from all forms of smoking to the human body may be arranged in severity sequence as follows:____

   A.Cigarette smoking is put first, and next comes cigar or pipe smoking.

   B.No 1 killer is cigar smoking, and it’s followed by cigarette or pipe smoking.

   C.Cigar or pipe smoking has nearly no effect on the human body in contrast with igarette smoking.

   D.All forms of smoking are similar in effect harmful to the human body.

46、Vision。 I____。Vision is physiological power of sight. Vision is the faculty by which, th rough the material organ, the eye, the visible external world is perceived. Many simple organisms have light receptors and can thus react to motion and shadows, but true vision involves the formation of images in the brain. Eyes of differen t organisms provide images of varying clarity: This article deals with vision in humans and other animals with eyes of comparable complexity.

47、Basic P____。On ordinary optical principles, a point above the direct line of vision co mes to a focus at a point of the retina below its center, and vice versa. If a r etina were observed by another person, the observer would see that the image of an object is formed on the retina, and that this image is inverted. Any increase in the magnitude of the retinal image is generally associated with approach of the object; if this same result is brought about by means of lenses, however-eve n where the real distance is increased-the object still seems to approach. This seeming approach is the result of an unconscious process of reasoning. The mind interprets any given object as being of a known or ascertained size.
