【題目】More than 135,000 UK drinkers will die from cancer caused by alcohol(酒精)by the year 2035, researchers say. Drinking too much will cause 7,100 cancer deaths a year by 2035, a rise of 13 percent on the present rate. A study by Sheffield University and Cancer Research UK shows that alcohol will cost the NHS(National Health Service) ￡53billion over the next ten years including ￡2 billion on cancer.

Although alcohol is known to cause many types of cancer including breast and throat most people don’t realize the relation between alcohol and cancer. A survey of 2,100 Britons by the researchers earlier this year found nine in ten did not associate drinking with cancer. The researchers used a computer model to work out the numbers of alcohol-related cancer deaths, hospital admissions(入院)and total costs to NHS over the next 20 years.

The study shows that a fifth of men and 1 in 10 women have alcohol every day---and many of these are middle-aged and middle class. Researchers are very worried about this group as they believe cancer may be caused by drinking over long periods. The study shows that even if the expense stays as it is, alcohol-related cancer deaths will rise from 6,299 in 2015 to 7,097 in 2034. Alcohol will lead to 891, 299 hospital admissions, up from 802, 118 in 2015, and 65, 005 will be caused by cancer.

Earlier this year Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies studied carefully the alcohol guidelines(指導(dǎo)方針)for the first time in thirty years. She told people there was no safe level of drinking and advised them to drink no more than 14 units a week. But researchers say this guidance isn’t enough and want the government to increase a little price per unit of alcohol.

【1】What can we learn from the text?

A. Fewer people will die of cancer in the future

B. Alcohol will be the only cause of cancer deaths

C. More and more people will get rid of the habit of drinking

D. The computer model can offer researchers useful numbers

【2】What does the underlined word “associate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Share B. Compare

C. Connect D. Replace

【3】The researchers hope the government can __________.

A. raise the price of alcohol properly

B. remove the nation’s drinking habit

C. improve middle-aged persons’ income

D. provide fund for National Health Service

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A. People Having Alcohol Must Suffer from Cancer

B. All People Have Known Alcohol May Cause Cancer

C. Researchers Are Trying to Discover the New Causes of Cancer

D. Alcohol will Have Worse Effects on British People over the Coming Years

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】文章主要講述了英國研究人員經(jīng)過調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)飲酒過多會引起人們患癌，并列列舉了一系列的數(shù)據(jù)，建議人們減少飲酒，希望政府提高酒的價格。以此減少人們喝酒。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“More than 135,000 UK drinkers will die from cancer caused by alcohol(酒精)by the year 2035”到2035年超過135000英國人將死于酒精引起的癌癥（酒精）。選項A“在未來沒有人死于癌癥”錯誤；選項B“只有酒精會引起人們患癌死亡”錯誤；選項C“越來越多的人將改掉喝酒的習(xí)慣。”文中未提及；根據(jù)“The researchers used a computer model to work out the numbers of alcohol-related cancer deaths, hospital admissions(入院)and total costs to NHS over the next 20 years.” 在未來20年， 研究人員使用一個計算機模型算出酒精相關(guān)的癌癥死亡數(shù)、住院（入院）和總成本的NHS ，選項D正確。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“Although alcohol is known to cause many types of cancer including breast and throat most people don’t realize the relation between alcohol and cancer.” 雖然眾所周知酒精會引起多種癌癥，包括乳腺癌和咽喉癌，但大多數(shù)人并沒有意識到酒精和癌癥之間的關(guān)系。可知associate為聯(lián)系，連接的意思，根據(jù)題意，故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“But researchers say this guidance isn’t enough and want the government to increase a little price per unit of alcohol.” 但是研究人員說，這種指導(dǎo)是不夠的，并希望政府提高酒的價格。根據(jù)題意，故選A。

【4】主旨大意題。文章主要講述了在未來20年會有超過135000英國人會死于由酒精引起的癌癥，可知飲酒對英國人影響很大，根據(jù)題意，故選D。

【題目】Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technologic I shift.

It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars y there doesn't seem to be a dear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one yet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.

Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes unwilling to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education. 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there's reason to believe that interest in 8elf-driving cars is going up across the hoard, a person's age will have little to Ho with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.

【1】Which of the following can be the influence of a new technology, according to the passage?

A. It often reads to great inventions in other related fields.

B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.

C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.

D.It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.

【2】Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?

A. It helps with their moving.

B. It saves their money and energy.

C. It adds to the safety of their travel.

D. It makes their life more interesting

【3】What is likely to affect one's attitude toward the driverless car?

A. The length of their driving experience.

B. The amount of training they received.

C. The location of their living place.

D. The field of their special interest.

【題目】What is the most popular food in western countries? If you are not sure, statistics might give you the answer.

Every year，some 20 million people walk into restaurants and buy 2 billion sandwiches. Americans alone eat more than 1 billion sandwiches annually. If you lined up all the sandwiches Westerners eat in a year, they would go around the world 13 times!

When John Montagu made the very first sandwich in England in 1762, he couldn't have imagined that it would still be very popular almost 250 years later. There is a campaign starting this month in the US to find the healthiest and best tasting sandwich in the country.

Sandwiches are commonly carried to school or work in lunch boxes or brown paper bags to be eaten for lunch. They are also taken on picnics and hiking trips. Their longlasting popularity lies in their convenience and fast preparation time.

You can put everything you want inside a sandwich. They are easy to clean up after, nutritious and come in hundreds of different kinds.

Wellknown American chef Dave Lieberman adds another reason.“I think people like to touch their food, kids especially. It's just a natural instinct. You don't have to use a knife and fork to eat a sandwich，” he said.

Sandwiches can be hot or cold with almost any kind of filling. One of the most popular kinds is the BLT—bacon，lettuce and tomato. Although it is a simple food, it can still be creative. Sandwiches can be served openfaced, with sushi inside or grilled with delicious fillings.

【1】The author intends to________.

A. tell us the history of sandwichmaking

B. introduce a popular food in the West

C. show how sandwiches are made

D. explain why westerners like sandwiches

A. They are healthy and delicious.

B. They have a history of about 250 years.

C. They are fast and convenient.

D. They can be served either hot and cold.

A. Sandwiches are usually eaten with a knife and fork.

B. Children don't like sandwiches so much as the adults.

C. Americans started a campaign against sandwiches.

D. People are trying to make sandwiches more nutritious.

B. The sandwich is a simple food.

C. The BLT is the most popular.

D. Sandwiches are mostly openfaced.

【題目】An Unexpected Storm

This is a story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It happened two and a half years ago. It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm. For Moscow, it was very unusual, and nobody predicted this storm before it happened.

It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home alone watching TV. The windows and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot.

Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I wanted to close the window and came near. I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind. I tried to close the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break.

I stood up and tried to close the window again, but it was not possible because the wind was now stronger, and it was pushing the window open. I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window. It worked.

When I looked outside, the tree in front of my window was flat on the ground, and there was strong thunder and lightning. I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs, which took about 10 seconds. A sportsman would have envied my speed.

When I finished, I looked outside. It was terrible, and I understood how people are helpless compared to the power of nature.

Suddenly, the wind stopped, and it began to hail(下冰雹). The ice was the size of grapes. After 10 minutes, everything stopped, and the sun shone as before. It was strange. A few minutes later, the phone began to ring every five minutes. It was my friends or relatives. We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm.

Many trees died because of the storm. For a few days, the people helped clean parks and gardens. Some people's cars were damaged by trees falling on them. After one week, it was history already. This is my story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It shows us that we are children of nature, and we must respect her.

【1】How did the weather change according to the passage?

A. Sunny and hot-thunder and lightning-windy-hail-sunny.

B. Sunny and hot-windy-hail-thunder and lightning-sunny.

C. Sunny and hot-thunder and lightning-hail-windy-sunny.

D. Sunny and hot-windy-thunder and lightning-hail-sunny.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. I did all the things in a flash.

B. I could run faster than a sportsman.

C. I could stay at home on a stormy day.

D. I was admired by the sportsman for my speed.

【3】What did the author learn from the unexpected storm?

A. Everything will be history.

B. We should respect nature.

C. We should help each other.

D. The disaster will be predicted.
