Relieving the Pain
"Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain," say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain. "People with chronic pain need to stop lying around, go out more, and start exercising."The instinctive reaction to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain. But it seems that this is often not productive, especially in the case of back pain. Back pain, after headaches and tiredness, has become the third most common reason for people to visit their doctors. Painful backs now account for millions of days off work.
Lumber (腰部的)pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground, but they are made worse by a sedentary(久坐不動的) lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility and strength of muscles, so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain. Exercise is essential. It releases endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽) , the body's "feel-good" chemicals, which are natural painkillers. In fact, these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of endorphins in the body.
Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than exercise. Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy, doctors frequently do not know the precise cause of the discomfort, and as the pain continues, sufferers end up taking stronger doses or series of different drugs. "It's crazy," says Dr. Brasseur, a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain. "Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors. I've just seen a patient who was taking two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided. Once patients have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up, their medication is cut down as much as possible. Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
In some pain-relief clinics, patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercise, followed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day, they practice t'ai chi(太極) self-defense, and deep thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a half hours physiotherapy(理療) a week in a traditional hospital program. "The idea is to strengthen and to increase long-lasting energy, flexibility, and confidence," explains Bill Wiles, a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool. "Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner that those subjected to more conservative treatment."
16 To treat pain, patients should stop moving around.

Owls and Larks(貓頭鷹與云雀)
1 In this article, we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep. But why do we need sleep in the first place? We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things. If this process is interrupted by, say, the sound of an alarm clock, it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock, how damaging is it? The truth is that it's difficult to predict, as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.
2 The popular belief that people are naturally either larks (early risers) or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle, age, and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through habit, for example, parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.
3 The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book, movie, or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion. On the other hand, larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learning-an owl's or a lark's lifestyle? The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.
4 As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps, as these may keep people up at night. If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night, it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours. However, if you are having problems getting to sleep at night, it's not only naps that you should avoid. Try not to drink a lot of alcohol, take nicotine(尼古丁), do mentally intense activities like preparing for exams or doing exercise in the evening. Some people swear that drinking coffee never stops them from sleeping like a log, whereas others will never go near the stuff for fear of being awake all night. However, the best advice for most is to avoid it in the evening, and if you drink coffee before a nap, remember you are likely to awaken as soon as the caffeine starts kicking in.

第4部分:閱讀理解(第3l~45題,每題3分,共45分)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,為每題確定1個佳選項。
第一篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (掃描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often
31 People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A they're popular
B they're useful
C they're convenient
D they're cheap
32 The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by
A cured
B removed
C discovered
D caused
33 The salesman retired young because
A he couldn't remember simple tasks
B he disliked using mobile phones
C he was tired of talking on his mobile phone
D his employer's doctor persuaded him to
34. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies
A hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about
B deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
C develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation
D try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health
35 The writer's purpose of writing this article is to advise people
A to buy mobile phones
B to use mobile phones less often
C to update regular phones
D to stop using mobile phones
第二篇 Immune Functions
The immune system is equal in complexity to the combined intricacies of the brain and nervous system. The success of the immune system in defending the body relies on a dynamic regulatory communication network consulting of millions and millions of cells. Organized into sets and subsets, these cells pass information back and forth like clouds of bees flying around a hive(蜂巢). The result is a sensitive system of checks and balances that produces an immune response that is prompt, appropriate, effective, and self-omitting.
At the heart of the immune system is the ability to distinguish between self and nonself. When immune defenders encounter cells or organisms carrying foreign of nonself molecules, the immune troops move quickly to eliminate the intruders (入侵者). Virtually every body cell carries distinctive molecules that identify it as self. The body's immune defenses do not normally attack tissues that carry a self-marker. Rather, immune cells and other body cells coexist peaceably in a state known as self-tolerance. When a normally functioning immune system attacks a nonself molecule, the system has the ability to "remember" the specifics of the foreign body. Upon subsequent encounters with the same species of molecules, the immune system reacts accordingly. With the possible exception of antibodies(抗體)passed during lactation(授乳期), this so called immune system memory is not inherited. Despite the occurrence of a virus in your family, your immune system must "learn" from experience with the many millions of distinctive nonself molecules in the sea of microbes (微生物) in which we live, learning necessitates producing the appropriate molecules and cells to match up with and counteract each nonself invader.
Any substance capable of stimulating an immune response is called an antigen (抗原). Antigens are not to be confused with allergens (過敏原),which are most often harmless substances that provoke the immune system to set off the inappropriate and harmful response known as allergy. An antigen can be a virus, a bacterium, or even a portion or product of one of these organisms. Tissues or cells from another individual (except an identical win, whose cells carry identical self makers act as antigens; because the immune system recognizes transplanted tissues as foreign, it rejects them. The body will even reject nourishing proteins unless they are first broken down by the digestive system into their primary, nonantigenic building blocks. An antigen announces its foreignness by means of intricate and characteristic shapes called epitopes (抗原表位), which protrude (突出) from its surface. Most antigens, even the simplest microbes, carry several different kinds of epitomes on their surface, some may even carry several hundred. Some epitomes will be more effective than others at stimulating an immune response. Only in abnormal situations does the immune system wrongly identify self as nonself and execute a misdirected immune attack.
36 What is used to describe the communication network consisting of cells in the immune system?
A The immune system's memory.
B Bees flying around a hive.
C Immune troops eliminating intruders.
D A sea of microbes.
37 The immune cells and other cells in the body coexist peaceably in a state known as
A balance.
B harmony.
C tolerance.
D self-tolerance.
38 How do the immune cells recognize an antigen as "foreign" or "nonself"?
A Through characteristic shapes on the antigen surface.
B Through an allergic response.
C Through blood type.
D Through fine hairs protruding from the antigen surface.
39 Which of the following statements is true?
A Allergens are usually harmful substances.
B Antigens can trigger an immune response.
C People with antigens do not suffer from obvious responses.
D There is no difference between an antigen and an allergen.
40 Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?
A The basic function of the immune system is to distinguish between self and nonself.
B An antigen is any substance that triggers an immune response.
C One of the immune system's primary functions is the allergic response.
D The human body is an appropriate habitat for microbes.
第三篇 Be Alert to Antimicrobial(抗微生物的)Resistance
The ability of micro-organisms to find ways to evade the action of the drugs used to cure the infections they cause is increasingly recognized as a global public health issue. Some bacteria have developed mechanisms which make them resistant to many of the antibiotics (抗生素) normally used for their treatment (multi-drug resistant bacteria), so pose particular difficulties, as there may be few or no alternative options for therapy. They constitute a growing and global public health problem. WHO suggests that countries should be prepared to implement hospital infection control measures to limit the spread of multi-drug resistant strains (菌株) and to reinforce national policy on prudent use of antibiotics, reducing the generation of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
An article published in 7"he Lancet Infectious Diseases on 11 August 2010 identified a new gene that enables some types of bacteria to be highly resistant to almost/all antibiotics. The article has drawn attention to the issue of AMR3 (antimicrobial resistance), and, in particular, has raised awareness of infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria.
While multi-drug resistant bacteria are not new and will continue to appear, this development requires monitoring and further study to understand the extent and modes of transmission, and to define the most effective measures for control.
Those called upon to be alert to the problem of antimicrobial resistance and take appropriate action include consumers, managers of hospitals, patients, as well as national governments, the pharmaceutical (制藥的) industry, and international agencies.
WHO strongly recommends that governments focus control and prevention efforts in the following areas like surveillance for antimicrobial resistance; rational antibiotic use, including education of healthcare workers and the public in the appropriate use of antibiotics; introducing or enforcing legislation related to stopping the selling of antibiotics without prescription; and strict adherence to infection prevention and control measures, including the use of hand-washing measures, particularly in healthcare facilities.
Successful control of multidrug-resistant microorganisms has been documented in many countries, and the existing and well-known infection prevention and control measures can effectively reduce- transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms if systematically implemented.
WHO will continue to support countries to develop relevant policies, and to coordinate international efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance will be the theme of WHO's World Health Day 2011.
41 Antimicrobial residence has become a global public health issue because
A there may be few or no treatment to infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria.
B new antibiotics are too expensive for poor countries.
C infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria have killed a lot of people.
D scientists know nothing about multi-drug resistant bacteria.
42 The word "prudent" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A unwise.
B wasteful.
C widespread.
D careful.
43 The article published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases found that
A some bacteria have developed a new gene to resist almost all antibiotics.
B a new multi-drug resistant bacterium has appeared.
C some infections are caused by antibiotics.
D some countries are successful in controlling multi-drug resistant microorganisms.
44 WHO recommends governments to focus on the following areas EXCEPT
A keeping hospitals from storing more antibiotics than they can use.
B education on the use of antibiotics.
C control of antibiotic use.
D introduction of new regulations on the sale of antibiotics.
45 We learn from the passage that
A antimicrobial resistance was not noticed until 2010.
B further study is needed to deal with the transmission of multi-drug resistant bacteria.
C without WHO, no country will be safer in the war against antimicrobial resistance.
D WHO will focus its prevention and control efforts in poor countries.

Mt. Desert Island
The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline.____(46) At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier (冰川)descended, however, it expended enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.
As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land, forming a series of twisting inlets and lagoons (咸水湖).The highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. ____(47) Marine fossils found here 225 feet above sea level, indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.
The 2,500-mile-long rocky coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly two thousand islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to thriving communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was essentially formed as two distinct islands.____(48)
For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently though, Bar Harbor has become a rapidly growing arts community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Because the island sits on the boundary line between the temperate (溫帶) and sub-Arctic zones, the island supports the plants and animals of both zones as well as beach, inland, and alpine (高山的) plants.____(49) The establishment of Acadia National Park in 1916 means that this natural reserve will be perpetually available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the archeological museum, learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.
The best view on Mt. Desert island is from the top of Cadillac Mountain.___(50)From the summit, you can gaze back toward the mainland or out over the Atlantic Ocean and contemplate the beauty created by retreating glacier.
A It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.
B Mt. Desert Island is one of the most famous of all of the islands left behind by the glacier.
C The wealthy residents of Mt. Desert Island selfishly kept it to themselves.
D The term comes from the activity of the ice age.
E This mountain rises 1,532 feet, making it the highest mountain on the Atlantic seashore.
F It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a deep and narrow stretch of water seven miles long.

第2 部分:閱讀判斷
16 、B 短文第一、二句已明確回答這個問題,病人需要stop的是 lying around,而不是 moving around。
17 、C 短文自始至終都沒有提到引起頭痛的原因是什么。
18 、A 第二段中間說到,缺乏運動就難以減少疼痛部位的壓力,所以需要運動。
19 、B 第二段后一句說,研究者們目前正在尋找能夠使身體中維持理想水平的內(nèi)啡肽藥物,因此它不可能是現(xiàn)在醫(yī)生經(jīng)常開給病人的藥。
20 、A 第三段第二句說到,因為找出背痛的原因很困難,所以背痛病人終只能服用更大劑量或幾種不同的藥物。
21 、A 后一段列舉了許多讓病人進行身體活動的方法,并在后一句指出,這樣治療的病人要比傳統(tǒng)治療恢復得更快。
22 、B 第四段說到,他們只是在要求病人進行身體活動的基礎(chǔ)上盡量減少服藥,或者好避免服藥,而沒有要求病人完全停止服藥。
第3 部分:概括大意與完成句子
23 、D 短文第三句就點出了本段的主題,并且對于我們?yōu)槭裁葱枰X做出回答。
24 、E 本段的主題就在第二句,并且指出,究竟是當貓頭鷹還是當云雀主要與生活方式、年齡和個性有關(guān)。
25 、C 本段首先對比了貓頭鷹式和云雀式兩種不同的生活方式,但孰優(yōu)孰劣并不作比較,只 是提出“根據(jù)自己的T作、娛樂過著充實的生活井有充足的睡眠讓你精力充沛才是關(guān)鍵"。

第6 部分:完形填空
51 、B 四個選項中只有選擇 B 項意思才能說得通。
52 、D 四個選項中只有 D 項從語法上和意思上適合填在這里。B 項、C 項雖有“保持”的意思,但都是及物動詞,A 項雖可當不及物動詞使用,但意思不對。
53 、B 前面提到南歐和東歐,而后面的希臘、波蘭和烏克蘭就屬于南歐和東歐,顯然這里是要強調(diào)這三個國家。如果選擇 C 項則似乎只、涉及這三個國家,從上下文分析并不是這種情況。
54 、B 答題時要注意與此空白處并列的另一個表語 widespread,它提示了答題者必須選擇active。
55 、B 從語法上分析,這里應是一個插入語;從上下文意思分析,應該是帶有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思,however 正可以完成這個功能。
56 、D 從語法上分析,這里又是一個插入語,應該是起著補充作用的意思,因此選擇 D 項 恰當,其他選項都不符合上下文的意思。
57 、C 首先要注意介詞后面的賓話是 coast,它提示了選擇 along 比較恰當。
58 、A 從上下文意思看,只能選擇suggest 才恰當,因為這里的 suggest 并不是“提議、建 議”的意思,而是“暗示、表明”的意思,其他三個選項都沒有這個詞義。
59 、D 本空白處的前后是 “已經(jīng)渡過了傳染的……期”,顯然應該選擇peak 才恰當,其他選項在這里都說不通。
60 、A 由于空白處后面有 to baseline levels,而 baseline levels 肯定是原來就存在的,所以選擇 returned 恰當。
61 、A 答題時要注意 but 這個詞的提示作用,前面說 remains active,那 but 后面的意思一定與之相反,故應該選擇 declining。
62 、C 空白處后面的 one month ago 提示了選擇 over 比較恰當,這里的 over 是 “more than”的意思,整個短語作時間狀語,意為“一個多月前”。
63 、D 2009 年的流感傳播幾乎是全球性的,北美也不例外,因此,從上下文看還是 remains恰當。如果選擇 becomes,似乎原來就不是 widespread,不合適。
64 、D 顯然,四個選項中只有 activity 可以填在這里,其他三個選項都無法與前后的詞搭配。
65 、A 空白處前面說,大部分地區(qū)已經(jīng)下降或維持不變,那么后面少數(shù)國家的增加一定是 例外,因此選擇 except 與 for 搭配,正好表示“除了……外”的意思。
下面每個句子中均有1個詞或短語劃有底橫線,請為每處劃線部分確定1個意義為接近的選項。

Relieving the Pain
"Exercise may be the best treatment of chronic pain," say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain. "People with chronic pain need to stop lying around, go out more, and start exercising."The instinctive reaction to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain. But it seems that this is often not productive, especially in the case of back pain. Back pain, after headaches and tiredness, has become the third most common reason for people to visit their doctors. Painful backs now account for millions of days off work.
Lumber (腰部的)pains are partly the price humans pay for taking their forelimbs off the ground, but they are made worse by a sedentary(久坐不動的) lifestyle. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility and strength of muscles, so that it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain. Exercise is essential. It releases endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽) , the body's "feel-good" chemicals, which are natural painkillers. In fact, these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain a comfortable level of endorphins in the body.
Most people who go to a family doctor complaining of pain are prescribed pain-killing drugs rather than exercise. Since finding the cause of backache is not so easy, doctors frequently do not know the precise cause of the discomfort, and as the pain continues, sufferers end up taking stronger doses or series of different drugs. "It's crazy," says Dr. Brasseur, a therapist at the International Association for the Study of Pain. "Some of them are taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors. I've just seen a patient who was taking two drugs which turned out to be the same thing under different names."
A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided. Once patients have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up, their medication is cut down as much as possible. Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity.
In some pain-relief clinics, patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercise, followed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day, they practice t'ai chi(太極) self-defense, and deep thought. This compares with an average of two-and-a half hours physiotherapy(理療) a week in a traditional hospital program. "The idea is to strengthen and to increase long-lasting energy, flexibility, and confidence," explains Bill Wiles, a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool. "Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner that those subjected to more conservative treatment."
16 To treat pain, patients should stop moving around.

Owls and Larks(貓頭鷹與云雀)
1 In this article, we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep. But why do we need sleep in the first place? We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things. If this process is interrupted by, say, the sound of an alarm clock, it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock, how damaging is it? The truth is that it's difficult to predict, as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.
2 The popular belief that people are naturally either larks (early risers) or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle, age, and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through habit, for example, parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.
3 The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book, movie, or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion. On the other hand, larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learning-an owl's or a lark's lifestyle? The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.
4 As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps, as these may keep people up at night. If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night, it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours. However, if you are having problems getting to sleep at night, it's not only naps that you should avoid. Try not to drink a lot of alcohol, take nicotine(尼古丁), do mentally intense activities like preparing for exams or doing exercise in the evening. Some people swear that drinking coffee never stops them from sleeping like a log, whereas others will never go near the stuff for fear of being awake all night. However, the best advice for most is to avoid it in the evening, and if you drink coffee before a nap, remember you are likely to awaken as soon as the caffeine starts kicking in.

第4部分:閱讀理解(第3l~45題,每題3分,共45分)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,為每題確定1個佳選項。
第一篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (掃描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often
31 People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A they're popular
B they're useful
C they're convenient
D they're cheap
32 The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by
A cured
B removed
C discovered
D caused
33 The salesman retired young because
A he couldn't remember simple tasks
B he disliked using mobile phones
C he was tired of talking on his mobile phone
D his employer's doctor persuaded him to
34. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies
A hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about
B deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
C develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation
D try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health
35 The writer's purpose of writing this article is to advise people
A to buy mobile phones
B to use mobile phones less often
C to update regular phones
D to stop using mobile phones
第二篇 Immune Functions
The immune system is equal in complexity to the combined intricacies of the brain and nervous system. The success of the immune system in defending the body relies on a dynamic regulatory communication network consulting of millions and millions of cells. Organized into sets and subsets, these cells pass information back and forth like clouds of bees flying around a hive(蜂巢). The result is a sensitive system of checks and balances that produces an immune response that is prompt, appropriate, effective, and self-omitting.
At the heart of the immune system is the ability to distinguish between self and nonself. When immune defenders encounter cells or organisms carrying foreign of nonself molecules, the immune troops move quickly to eliminate the intruders (入侵者). Virtually every body cell carries distinctive molecules that identify it as self. The body's immune defenses do not normally attack tissues that carry a self-marker. Rather, immune cells and other body cells coexist peaceably in a state known as self-tolerance. When a normally functioning immune system attacks a nonself molecule, the system has the ability to "remember" the specifics of the foreign body. Upon subsequent encounters with the same species of molecules, the immune system reacts accordingly. With the possible exception of antibodies(抗體)passed during lactation(授乳期), this so called immune system memory is not inherited. Despite the occurrence of a virus in your family, your immune system must "learn" from experience with the many millions of distinctive nonself molecules in the sea of microbes (微生物) in which we live, learning necessitates producing the appropriate molecules and cells to match up with and counteract each nonself invader.
Any substance capable of stimulating an immune response is called an antigen (抗原). Antigens are not to be confused with allergens (過敏原),which are most often harmless substances that provoke the immune system to set off the inappropriate and harmful response known as allergy. An antigen can be a virus, a bacterium, or even a portion or product of one of these organisms. Tissues or cells from another individual (except an identical win, whose cells carry identical self makers act as antigens; because the immune system recognizes transplanted tissues as foreign, it rejects them. The body will even reject nourishing proteins unless they are first broken down by the digestive system into their primary, nonantigenic building blocks. An antigen announces its foreignness by means of intricate and characteristic shapes called epitopes (抗原表位), which protrude (突出) from its surface. Most antigens, even the simplest microbes, carry several different kinds of epitomes on their surface, some may even carry several hundred. Some epitomes will be more effective than others at stimulating an immune response. Only in abnormal situations does the immune system wrongly identify self as nonself and execute a misdirected immune attack.
36 What is used to describe the communication network consisting of cells in the immune system?
A The immune system's memory.
B Bees flying around a hive.
C Immune troops eliminating intruders.
D A sea of microbes.
37 The immune cells and other cells in the body coexist peaceably in a state known as
A balance.
B harmony.
C tolerance.
D self-tolerance.
38 How do the immune cells recognize an antigen as "foreign" or "nonself"?
A Through characteristic shapes on the antigen surface.
B Through an allergic response.
C Through blood type.
D Through fine hairs protruding from the antigen surface.
39 Which of the following statements is true?
A Allergens are usually harmful substances.
B Antigens can trigger an immune response.
C People with antigens do not suffer from obvious responses.
D There is no difference between an antigen and an allergen.
40 Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?
A The basic function of the immune system is to distinguish between self and nonself.
B An antigen is any substance that triggers an immune response.
C One of the immune system's primary functions is the allergic response.
D The human body is an appropriate habitat for microbes.
第三篇 Be Alert to Antimicrobial(抗微生物的)Resistance
The ability of micro-organisms to find ways to evade the action of the drugs used to cure the infections they cause is increasingly recognized as a global public health issue. Some bacteria have developed mechanisms which make them resistant to many of the antibiotics (抗生素) normally used for their treatment (multi-drug resistant bacteria), so pose particular difficulties, as there may be few or no alternative options for therapy. They constitute a growing and global public health problem. WHO suggests that countries should be prepared to implement hospital infection control measures to limit the spread of multi-drug resistant strains (菌株) and to reinforce national policy on prudent use of antibiotics, reducing the generation of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
An article published in 7"he Lancet Infectious Diseases on 11 August 2010 identified a new gene that enables some types of bacteria to be highly resistant to almost/all antibiotics. The article has drawn attention to the issue of AMR3 (antimicrobial resistance), and, in particular, has raised awareness of infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria.
While multi-drug resistant bacteria are not new and will continue to appear, this development requires monitoring and further study to understand the extent and modes of transmission, and to define the most effective measures for control.
Those called upon to be alert to the problem of antimicrobial resistance and take appropriate action include consumers, managers of hospitals, patients, as well as national governments, the pharmaceutical (制藥的) industry, and international agencies.
WHO strongly recommends that governments focus control and prevention efforts in the following areas like surveillance for antimicrobial resistance; rational antibiotic use, including education of healthcare workers and the public in the appropriate use of antibiotics; introducing or enforcing legislation related to stopping the selling of antibiotics without prescription; and strict adherence to infection prevention and control measures, including the use of hand-washing measures, particularly in healthcare facilities.
Successful control of multidrug-resistant microorganisms has been documented in many countries, and the existing and well-known infection prevention and control measures can effectively reduce- transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms if systematically implemented.
WHO will continue to support countries to develop relevant policies, and to coordinate international efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance will be the theme of WHO's World Health Day 2011.
41 Antimicrobial residence has become a global public health issue because
A there may be few or no treatment to infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria.

Mt. Desert Island
The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline.____(46) At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier (冰川)descended, however, it expended enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.
As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land, forming a series of twisting inlets and lagoons (咸水湖).The highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. ____(47) Marine fossils found here 225 feet above sea level, indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.
The 2,500-mile-long rocky coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly two thousand islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to thriving communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was essentially formed as two distinct islands.____(48)
For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently though, Bar Harbor has become a rapidly growing arts community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Because the island sits on the boundary line between the temperate (溫帶) and sub-Arctic zones, the island supports the plants and animals of both zones as well as beach, inland, and alpine (高山的) plants.____(49) The establishment of Acadia National Park in 1916 means that this natural reserve will be perpetually available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the archeological museum, learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.
The best view on Mt. Desert island is from the top of Cadillac Mountain.___(50)From the summit, you can gaze back toward the mainland or out over the Atlantic Ocean and contemplate the beauty created by retreating glacier.
A It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.
B Mt. Desert Island is one of the most famous of all of the islands left behind by the glacier.
C The wealthy residents of Mt. Desert Island selfishly kept it to themselves.
D The term comes from the activity of the ice age.
E This mountain rises 1,532 feet, making it the highest mountain on the Atlantic seashore.
F It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a deep and narrow stretch of water seven miles long.

第2 部分:閱讀判斷
16 、B 短文第一、二句已明確回答這個問題,病人需要stop的是 lying around,而不是 moving around。
17 、C 短文自始至終都沒有提到引起頭痛的原因是什么。
18 、A 第二段中間說到,缺乏運動就難以減少疼痛部位的壓力,所以需要運動。
19 、B 第二段后一句說,研究者們目前正在尋找能夠使身體中維持理想水平的內(nèi)啡肽藥物,因此它不可能是現(xiàn)在醫(yī)生經(jīng)常開給病人的藥。
20 、A 第三段第二句說到,因為找出背痛的原因很困難,所以背痛病人終只能服用更大劑量或幾種不同的藥物。
21 、A 后一段列舉了許多讓病人進行身體活動的方法,并在后一句指出,這樣治療的病人要比傳統(tǒng)治療恢復得更快。
22 、B 第四段說到,他們只是在要求病人進行身體活動的基礎(chǔ)上盡量減少服藥,或者好避免服藥,而沒有要求病人完全停止服藥。
第3 部分:概括大意與完成句子
23 、D 短文第三句就點出了本段的主題,并且對于我們?yōu)槭裁葱枰X做出回答。
24 、E 本段的主題就在第二句,并且指出,究竟是當貓頭鷹還是當云雀主要與生活方式、年齡和個性有關(guān)。
25 、C 本段首先對比了貓頭鷹式和云雀式兩種不同的生活方式,但孰優(yōu)孰劣并不作比較,只 是提出“根據(jù)自己的T作、娛樂過著充實的生活井有充足的睡眠讓你精力充沛才是關(guān)鍵"。
26 、A 后一段列舉了一些需要注意的事物:午睡可視個人具體情況而定,避免攝人具有刺激性的物品如飲酒、抽煙、喝咖啡等。

30 、B 短文后一句就說到,“對大多數(shù)人來說,我們的忠告就是不要在晚上喝咖啡”。
第4 部分:閱讀理解
31 、C 本題的答題依據(jù)是文章開頭的這句話:Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. 人人都有想象力,只是成年后,我們就忘了如 何取得想象力 (access it)。文章的目的就是教給成年人幾種獲得想象力的技巧,所以說成年人還是可以學會怎么樣更加富有創(chuàng)意的。
32 、B 從第二段的這兩句話 First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. 可以找到答案。蠟 燭只是一個例子。
33 、A 第三段的第一句話 Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/ money, etc. as you want. 是本題的答題依據(jù)。
34 、B put yourself in their shoes 是英語的一個成語,相當于漢語的“設(shè)身處地”。
35 、C 第三種技巧就是Look at the situation from a different point of view. 作者舉了談判者和小說家為例。推銷員如要成用這一技巧就應該把自己置于顧客的位置上,問一問他們的需要是什么。
36 、B 第一段第三句說到,“免疫系統(tǒng)的這些細胞來回傳遞信息就像蜂群圍繞峰巢飛跑一樣”。
37 、D 第二段中間說,“免疫細胞與身體其他細胞在自我耐受的狀態(tài)下和平共處”。
38 、A 第二段的中后部說到,“抗原以其自身從表面突出來的復雜而有特色的形狀表明自己是一種異體物”,免疫細胞自然很容易識別它們。
39 、B 第三段第一句說,“任何能夠激起免疫反應的物質(zhì)就稱為抗原”。其他三個選項不是與短文所說不符就是短文沒有提到。
40 、A 文章的題目是“免疫功能”。第二段第一句可以概括短文的中心思想,選項 A 正是該句的意思。
41 、A 從第一段的前半部我們就可以知道,全球之所以重視這個問題就是因為有可能面對 它束手無策——對它無藥可治。
42 、D prudent 意為“謹慎的”,careful 意為 “小心的”,“小心”與“謹慎”自然是同一概念。
43 、A 本題答案存在于第二段第一句,該句正是選項 A 的內(nèi)容。
44 、A 選項 B、C、D 的內(nèi)容在第五段中都提及,只有選項 A 的內(nèi)容(“不許醫(yī)院儲存超過醫(yī)院使用量的抗生素”)文章中并未提到。
45 、B 通讀全篇短文以后我們知道,目前人類還沒有找到解決這個問題的辦法,所以還需繼續(xù)研究。其他三個選項短文均未提到。
第5 部分:補全短文
46 、D 這里填入的內(nèi)容:The term comes from the activity of the ice age. 是對上一句中出現(xiàn) 的 drowned coastline 這一名稱由來的解釋。
47 、B 前面一句話:The highest parts of the former mountain range,nearest the shore, remained as islands. 說了先前靠海岸的山脈的頂部變成了島嶼,下面一句很自然就說:Mt. Desert Island is one of the most famous of all the islands left behind by the glacier.
48 、F 前面一句話是:Mt. Desert was essentially formed as two distinct islands. 下面一句便解釋它是怎么形成兩個島嶼的:It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a deep and narrow Stretch of water, seven miles long.
49 、A 前面一句介紹了 Mt. Desert Island 所處的地理位置和它為動植物提供的生存條件,下面一句再解釋它還是一條鳥類移居的主要通道和許多鳥類的棲身之地。
50 、E This mountain回指前面的 Cadillac Mountain. 句子對它的高度做了描述。
第6 部分:完形填空
51 、B 四個選項中只有選擇 B 項意思才能說得通。
52 、D 四個選項中只有 D 項從語法上和意思上適合填在這里。B 項、C 項雖有“保持”的意思,但都是及物動詞,A 項雖可當不及物動詞使用,但意思不對。
53 、B 前面提到南歐和東歐,而后面的希臘、波蘭和烏克蘭就屬于南歐和東歐,顯然這里是要強調(diào)這三個國家。如果選擇 C 項則似乎只、涉及這三個國家,從上下文分析并不是這種情況。
54 、B 答題時要注意與此空白處并列的另一個表語 widespread,它提示了答題者必須選擇active。
55 、B 從語法上分析,這里應是一個插入語;從上下文意思分析,應該是帶有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思,however 正可以完成這個功能。
56 、D 從語法上分析,這里又是一個插入語,應該是起著補充作用的意思,因此選擇 D 項 恰當,其他選項都不符合上下文的意思。
57 、C 首先要注意介詞后面的賓話是 coast,它提示了選擇 along 比較恰當。
58 、A 從上下文意思看,只能選擇suggest 才恰當,因為這里的 suggest 并不是“提議、建 議”的意思,而是“暗示、表明”的意思,其他三個選項都沒有這個詞義。
59 、D 本空白處的前后是 “已經(jīng)渡過了傳染的……期”,顯然應該選擇peak 才恰當,其他選項在這里都說不通。
60 、A 由于空白處后面有 to baseline levels,而 baseline levels 肯定是原來就存在的,所以選擇 returned 恰當。
61 、A 答題時要注意 but 這個詞的提示作用,前面說 remains active,那 but 后面的意思一定與之相反,故應該選擇 declining。
62 、C 空白處后面的 one month ago 提示了選擇 over 比較恰當,這里的 over 是 “more than”的意思,整個短語作時間狀語,意為“一個多月前”。
63 、D 2009 年的流感傳播幾乎是全球性的,北美也不例外,因此,從上下文看還是 remains恰當。如果選擇 becomes,似乎原來就不是 widespread,不合適。
64 、D 顯然,四個選項中只有 activity 可以填在這里,其他三個選項都無法與前后的詞搭配。
65 、A 空白處前面說,大部分地區(qū)已經(jīng)下降或維持不變,那么后面少數(shù)國家的增加一定是 例外,因此選擇 except 與 for 搭配,正好表示“除了……外”的意思。
