阅读A、B、C和D四篇短文,在每题所给的四个选项中选出符合题意的最佳项。
A
Cell phones:Is there a cancer link?
worrying about the possibility that phones,power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses,from rashes (疹子)to brain tumors .
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties.David Carpenter,a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany,in New York,thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (a kind of blood disease).Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors.“It’s clear now that there’s a real risk,”said Carpenter.
But others believe these worries caused by some experts’ warnings are not justified (验证).Dr Martha Linet,head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute,has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion.“I don’t support warning labels (标签) for cell
phones,”said Linet.“We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场)and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all.A multinational investigation(调查) of cell phones and brain cancer,in 13 countries outside the US,has been under way for several years.Its funded(provide money) in part by the European Union,in part by a cell phone industry group.The final report should come out later this year,but data (数据)so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk.
21.From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.
A.they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancer
B.they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone use
C.some experts have given warnings
D.cell phones are responsible for brain tumors
22.By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones”, Dr Martha Linet thinks that_______.
A.the connection between cell-phones and cancer has not been proved .
B.cancer—warning labels should be on cell phones
C.there is a link between cell phones and cancer
D.cell phones have nothing to do with cancer at all.
23.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?
A.Optimistic. B.Objective(客观的). C.Opposite. D. Hopeless
B
The pounding(重击声) was driving Edward crazy. A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo(立体声音响)loud enough for the whole building to hear.
On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The
tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”
So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.
Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors-—grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?
In Los Angeles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.
The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.
24.The man living below where Edward lived was .
A.a deaf man B.the owner of the house
C.a tenant D.an old neighbor
25.What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?
A.Grinning and bearing it. B.Persuading
them to stop repeatedly.
C.Shouting them to dead. D.Moving away from the rude neighbors.
26.The woman killed her neighbor because .
A.he ignored her advice repeatedly B.she could not stand his playing the music too loud
C.she could not put up with him any longer D.he played the drums too often
27.The author writes the last paragraph to prove that .
A.being in prison means the loss of freedom B.grinning and bearing it is the best policy
C.Edward should follow the example of the woman D.the woman was right to kill her neighbor
C
Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.
Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.
Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career. “It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication( 投身,奉献 ) to the short story,” said one person.
Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”
Munro knew she was in the list——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树)of Japan——but she never thought that she would win.
Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.
She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.
“This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.”
She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”
28. What is the feature of Munro’s stories?
A. They have complicated (复杂的)contents.
B. They have similar story backgrounds.
C. They have specific themes for children.
D. They have the same characters in each book.
29. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______.
A. her love for Canadian culture B. her devotion to the short story
C. her special form of writing D. her career of editing short stories
30. What can you infer from the sixth paragraph?
A. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.
B. Canadian writers were respected across the globe.
C. Canadian writers have long been ignored.
D. Canadians come a long way to win the prize.
31. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize
B. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature
C. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature
D. A world famous writer, Alice Munro
D
YOU CAN HELP!
Everyone was born with his own built—in burglar alarm. It’s called the sense of sight and sound. Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off.
We don’t see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.
We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.
(Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?)
The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars(窃贼), the vandals, and the car thieves.
Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.
But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community. For instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.
A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the lookout.
That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police.
It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you.
21.The underlined word “them” refers to “__________”.
A.criminals B.the police C.neighbours D.strangers
22.The advertisement points out that many people.
A. are not ready to help the police
B. are not as watchful as they could be
C. don’t look after their gardens well
D. don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays
23.One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to.
A. turn on the alarm system in our home
B. try to stop criminals from escaping
C. look out for people behaving suspiciously
D. inform the police if we hear noises upstairs
24.The purpose of the advertisement is to in their neighborhood.
A ask people to join the police force
B advise people how to protect their homes
C warn people about the increasing risk of crime
D encourage people to be on watch for possible crime

Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence
Walk Faster.
One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 36 .
37
One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, chances to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by
creating a personal speech. Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.
Sit in the Front Row.
In school, offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room, 38 This is for lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.
Speak up.
During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid. 39 By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you’ll become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts.
Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence. 40 By making your body fit and strong, you improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and learn something positive.
A. Most people prefer that because they’re afraid of being noticed.
B. Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.
C. In fact most people feel good after a walk.
D. If you’re out of shape, you’ll feel unattractive and less energetic.
E. Listen to an Inspiring Speech.
F. Create a Personal Speech.
G. In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

Good morning and welcome to the Life Review.Do you know how many men do housework? Recently,a European official group tried to discover what people’ s ideas were about
the women’ s movement.As part of their survey,they asked many men and women the question,“Who does the housework?”The men answered very differently from the women! The housework they asked people about was preparing meals,washing dishes,cleaning the house and baby-sitting.48% of British husbands said they did this kind of work.51% of Danish men said they helped in the house.15% of Italian men said they did the housework.But there was an interesting point of view from the wives.According to British wives,only 38% of their husbands help in the house.And Italian wives complained that their husbands hardly ever help.The Italian and British men didn’t tell the truth! The group found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands.Their answers were the same as their wives.

Medical studies show that smoking is harmful to our health because of the poisonous chemicals produced when cigarettes are burning. Both smokers and non-smokers are affected by the poisonous matter. So the number of people who suffer from lung cancer and other breathing-related diseases has been on the increase. Therefore, smokers should give up this bad habit as soon as possible.
Let’s develop a healthy lifestyle! Let’s take action from now on!
Li Ming
