Most Adults in U.S.Have Low Risk of Heart Disease
More than 80 percent of US adults have a less
than l O-percent risk of developing heart disease in the next
10 years,according to a report in the Journal of the American
College of Cardiology.Just 3 percent have a risk that exceeds
20 percent.
“I hope that these numbers will give physicians,researchers,health
policy analysts,and others a better idea of how coronary heart
disease is distributed in the US population.”lead author Dr.Earl
S.Ford,from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‘in
Atlanta, said in a statement.
The findings are based on analysis of data from 13,769 subjects,between
20 and 79 years of age, who participated in the 1nbjrd National
Health and Nutrition Exanimation Survey from 1988 to 1994.
Overall,82 percent of adults had a risk of less than 10 percent,
15 percent had a risk that fell between 1 0 to 20 percent.and
3 percent had a risk above 20 percent.
The proportion of subjects in the highest risk group increased
with advancing age,and men were more likely than women to be in
this group.By contrast, race or ethnicity had little effect on
risk distributions.
Although the report suggests that most adults have a low 10一year
risk of heart disease,a large proportion have a high or immediate
risk,Dr.Daniel S.Berman,from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los
Angeles,and Dr.Nathan D.Wong,from the University of California
at Irvine, note in a related editorial.
Aggressive treatment measures and public health strategies are
needed to shift the overall population risk downward,they add.

Many Benefits from Cancer Organization
1. Do you know a child who survived leukemia?
Do you have a mother,sister or aunt whose breast cancer was found
early thanks to a mammogram? Do you have a friend or coworker
who quit smoking to reduce their risk of lung cancer? Each of
these individuals benefited from the American Cancer Society’s
research program.
2. Each day scientists supported by the American Cancer Society
work to find breakthroughs that will take US one step closer to
a cure.The American Cancer Society has long recognized that research
holds the ultimate answers to the prevention,diagnosis and treatment
of cancer.
3. As the largest source of nonprofit cancer research funds in
the United States,the American Cancer Society devotes over$100
million each year tO research.Since 1946,they’ve invested more
than$2.4 billion.in research.The investment has paid rich dividends.
In 1946,only one in four cancer patients was alive five years
after diagnosis;today 60 percent live longer than five years.
4. Investigators and health professionals in universities,research
institutes and hospitals throughout the country receive grants
from the American Cancer Society.Of the more than 1,300 new applications
received each year,only 11 percent can be funded. If the American
Cancer Society had more money available for research funding,nearly
200 more applications considered outstanding could be funded each
year?
5. You can help fund more of these applications by participating
in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life,a team event to
fight cancer.More funding means more cancer breakthroughs and
more lives being saved.To learn more,call Donna Hood,chair with
the Neosho Relay for Life of the American Cancer Society at 451—4880.

第1篇
A Miracle Cancer cure
Unless you have gone through the experience yourself,
or watched a loved one’s struggle, you really have no idea just
how desperate cancer can make you. You pray, you rage, you bargain
with God, but most of all you clutch at any hope, no matter how
remote, of a second chance at life.
For a few excited days last week, however, it seemed as if the
whole world was a cancer patient and that all humankind had been
granted a reprieve. Triggered by a front-page medical news story
in the usually reserved New York Times, all anybody was talking
about – on the radio, on television, on the Internet, in phone
calls to friends and relatives – was the report that a combination
of two new drugs could, as the Times put it, cure cancer in two
years.
In a matter of hours patients had jammed their doctors’ phone
lines begging for a chance to test the miracle cancer cure. Cancer
scientists raced to the phones and fax lines to make sure everyone
knew about their research too, generating a new round of headlines.
The time certainly seemed ripe for a breakthrough in cancer. Only
last month scientists at the National Cancer Institute announced
that they were halting a clinical trial of a drug called tamoxifen
– and offering it to patients getting the placebo – because it
had proved so effective at preventing breast cancer (although
it also seemed to increase the risk of uterine cancer). Two weeks
later came the New York Times’ report that two new drugs can shrink
tumors of every variety without any side effects whatsoever.
It all seemed too good to be true, and of course it was. There
are no miracle cancer drugs, at least not yet. At this stage all
the drug manufacturer can offer is some very interesting molecules,
and the only cancers they have cures so far have been in mice.
By the middle of last week, even the most breathless TV talk-show
hosts had learned what every scientist already knew: that curing
a disease in lab animals is not the same as doing it in humans.
“The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancers
in the mouse,” Dr. Richard Klausner, head of the National Cancer
Institute, told the Los Angles Times. “We have cured mice of cancer
for decades – and it simply didn’t work in people.”
1. The first paragraph describes people’s ___
after they know they or their loved ones have cancer.
A. complex feelings
B. desire to live long
C. hatred of God
D. love of their family
2. What caused all the people to talk about cancer?
A. New York Times published a medical news story
B. Radio broadcast a medical news story
C. TV showed a film about cancer
D. The Internet had a story about cancer
3. According to the New York Times report, the
two drugs can ___.
A. cure all kinds of tumors but with side effects
B. cure all kinds of tumors without side effects
C. shrink all kinds of tumors but with side effects
D. shrink all kinds of tumors without side effects
4. What is the meaning of the statement “It all
seemed too good to be true, and of course it was.”?
A. The news seemed very good and real and it was good.
B. The news seemed very good, but not so real, and it was false.
C. The news seemed not good, but real, and it was not good.
D. The news seemed not good, but real, and it was not good.
5. What can the new drugs really do?
A. it can cure all cancers
B. it can cure nothing
C. it can only cure cancer in mice
D. it can cure cancer in all animals

ulcers
Even though ulcers appear to run in families,lifestyle
plays more of a role than genetic
factors in causing the illness,according to a report in the April
13th Journal of Internal Medicine.
In particular ,smoking and stress in men and the regular use of
pain.releasing medicines in women were linked with an increased
risk of developing all ulcer.
Overall,61%of ulcer risk appears to be due to environmental factors,such
as smoking, and the remaining 39%is due to genes according to
Dr.Ismo Raiha of the University of Turky and colleagues at the
University of Helsinki,Finland.Some researchers had suggested
that families may spread Helicobacteria pylori ,the bacteria that
can cause ulcers.However。the new study suggests this is unlikely,according
to the report.
Raiha and colleagues studied data from more than 1 3,000 pairs
of twins“to examine the roles of genetic and environmental factors
in the origin of peptic ulcer disease.”they explain.Both twins
were more likely to develop an ulcer if the pair were genetically
the same as compared with a par of fraternal twins,suggesting
that there must be some genetic susceptibility to ulcer development.
However,the risk was no greater in twins living together compared
with twins living apart, suggesting that shared exposure to H.
pylori was not to blame.“Environmental effects were not due to
factors shared by family members ,and they were related to smoking
and stress in men and the Use of analgesics in women,”the authors
wrote.“The minor effects of shared environment to disease liability
do not support the concept that the grouping of risk factors,such
as H.pylori infection,would explain the genetic factor of peptic
ulcer disease,”they concluded.
词汇:
ulcer/n.溃疡
lifestyle/n.生活方式
genetic/adj.基因的,遗传(性)的
stress/n.压力,紧张,造成紧张的因素
overall/adv.总的说来,大体上
environmental/adj.环境的,有关环境(保护)的
gene/n.基因
colleague/n.同事,同僚
bacteria/n.【bacterium的复数】细菌
peptic/adj.消化性的 .
fraternal/adj.异卵双生的,两合子的
susceptibility/n.敏感性,过敏性
analgesic/n.止痛剂,镇痛药
liability/n.倾向
练习:
1.According to the passage,which of the following is a very likely
cause of ulcer in men?
A)Smoking and stress.
B)Drinking and smoking.
C)Genes and children.
D)Use of a certain medicine.
2.What factors contribute to over half the ulcers?
A)Hereditary factors.
B)Economic factors.
C)Environmental factors.
D)Genetic factors.
3.In relation to ulcers,experts study twins in
order to examine
A)the roles of genetic factors.
B)the roles of environmental factors.
C)the roles of both genetic and environmental factors.
D)the roles of brotherhood.
4.”Environmental effects” in the fourth paragraph
refers to effects brought about by
A)a clean environment.
B)smoking and stress in men and use of pain-killing medicine in
women.
C)factors shared by family members such as genes and the food
they eat.
D)shared exposure to H. pylori infection.

C)ulcers appear in men and women.
D)ulcers are caused by pylori infection

Losing Weight
Girls as young as 1 0 years old are dieting and
in danger of developing unhealthy attitudes
about weight,body image and food,a group of Toronto researchers
reported Tuesday.
Their study of 2,279 girls aged 10 to 14 showed that while the
vast majority had healthy
weights,nearly a third felt they were overweight and were trying
to lose pounds.Even at the tender agez of 10,nearly 32 per cent
of girls felt“too fat'’and 31 per cent said they were trying to
diet.
McVey,a researcher at.the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto,and
her colleagues
analyzed data collected in a number of surveys of southern Ontario
school girls between 1 993 and 2003,reporting their findings in
Tuesday’s issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Nearly 80 per cent of the girls had a healthy body weight and
only 7.2 per cent were
considered overweight using standard weight-to.height ratios.Most
researchers suggest the rate of overweight children in this country
is several times higher than that figure.
Nearly 30 per cent of the girls reported they Were currently trying
to lose weight,though few admitted to dangerous behavior such
as self-induced vomiting.
Still,a test that measured attitudes towards eating showed 10.5
per cent of survey
Participants were already at risk of developing an eating disorder.
‘'We’re not talking about kids who’ve been prescribed a diet because
they’re above average weight or overweight. We’re talking about
children who are within a healthy weight range。And they have taken
it upon themselves to diet to lose weight,”McVey said,acknowledging
she found the rates disturbing.She said striking a balance between
healthy weights and healthy attitudes towards food and body image
is a complex task,with no easy solutions.
词汇:
overweight adj.超重的;过重的
induce vt.引起,导致
prescribe vt.处方;开药;嘱咐

3.The survey participants were girls
A)whowere 10.

Weight Worries May Start Early for Slim Women
There is a range of reasons why thin women think

To investigate body image among thin women,the researchers gave
questionnaires to 2,443 women ages 27 to 38 whose body mass index
was at the low end of normal.——(3)——.
Overall,almost 1 0 percent of the women thought they were too
heavy.Those who reported certain“severe life events”in childhood
or adolescence,such as having a parent become ill or having their
educational hopes dashed,were more likely than others to have
a distorted body image.——(4)——.
In contrast,traumatic events in adulthood,such as serious illness
or significant marital problems, were not related to poor body
image,the researchers report
一(5)——
underweight adj.重量不足的
physique n.体格
questionnaire n.调查表
dash vt.使(希望、计划等)破灭,挫败
traumatic adj.使人不快的
A The same was true of4 women who started having sex or drinking
alcohol when they were younger than 1 5 years old.
B Experiences’in childhood.including having an ill parent,or starting
to drink or have sex at a particularly young age,were among the
risk factors for having a distorted body image?
C “Our results indicate that the risk of being dissatisfied with
(one’s)own body weight may be established early in life,”Kjaer
and her colleagues write.
D Research suggests that many normal-weight women wish to weigh
less.
E If worries have altered your appetite or weight,it will help
to talk to someone about it.
F The women were asked about factors ranging from childhood experiences
to current
exercise habits.

第1篇
A miracle cancer cure
1. A. 全段生动地描述了人们得了癌症或得知亲人得了癌症后的悲痛欲绝,呼天抢地但又怀有希望等复杂的心情。
2. A。 第2段中讲到triggered by a front-page …, 所以选择A。B, C和D 三项都不存在“头版新闻”的语境。
3. D。 答案依据在第4段最后一句,two new drugs can shrink tumors of every variety
without any side effects whatsoever.
4. B. 全句是省略句,完整的句子是:It all seemed too good to be true, and of
course it was too good to be true.
5. C. 根据最后一段,the only cancers they have cured so far have been
in mice. 后面讲到的Curing a disease in lab animals也不是指全部动物,只指mice,这从后面几句可得到证实。
第2篇
答案与题解:
1.A 因第一段中提到“smoking and stress in men…”,其他各项均与文中内容不符。
2.c 第二段的第一句“Overall,61%of ulcer risk appears to be due tO environmental

factors…’’
4.B 第四段明确指出,“they were related to smoking and s~ess in men and
the use of
analgesics in women.”

第五部分:补全短文(每题2分,共10分)
阅读下面的短文,文章中有5处空白,文章后有6组文字,请根据文章的内容选择5组文字,将其分别放会文章原有位置,以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置。
Weight Worries May Start Early for Slim Women
1. B 文章的第一段已经提到,身体瘦削的女性自认为身体肥胖的原因可谓不少,但一项新的研究表明,对身体形象所存有的不正确的态度时常有可能与儿时的经历有关。文章的第二段是对第一段内容的进一步展开与细化。
2. D 本空的前一句讲到,体重不达标逐渐被普遍视为“理想的”女性身材。因此,“研究表明,许多正常体重之女性希望自己体重再轻些”作为接下来的一句是十分合适的。
3. F 本空之前的一句提到,调查是以发放问卷进行的。因此,接下来的一句应涉及问卷的内容。
4. A 文章的第二段已经提到,造成对身体形象存有不正确之态度的危险因素是与儿时的经历相关联的,其中包括:父亲或者母亲生病、特别年幼时便开始酗酒或是过性生活。空格之前的一句提到了儿时经历父亲或是母亲生病,接下来的句子肯定涉及特别年幼时便开始酗酒或是过性生活的经历。
5. C 文章的最后一句是对研究结果的重述。
第六部分:完型填空 (每题1分,共15分)
阅读下面的短文,文中有15处空白,每处空白给出了4个选项,请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案,并涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
1.D 从句子的意思看,这里应该有“需要”的意思,所以选择应该在C和D之间,need可以作情态动词用,也可以作普通动词用,前面既用了will,那说明这里应该跟作普通动词用的need,所以答案是need
to know。
2. D 这里what引导的从旬的意思是“在工作时你可能面临什么不利健康的因素”,“在工作时”的英语是at work,是一个固定的表达方式。
3. A 这句用how引导的从句的意思是“你每日的饮食和推荐的标准相比之下如何’,最合适的说法是daily diet。
4. C exercising这个-ing形式提示这里必须用spend这个动词,通常我们说spend…doing…,如果要用devote,那应该有to,devote的用法是devote…to…。要表示用多少时间,英语里不用use这个动词,如果用take,那么主语一般不会是人。
5. B engage in是一个动词短语,意思是“从事……活动”。
6. B 这里是you will need to know后面一系列宾语从句中的最后一个,这个空格里要
求填入的是引导该宾语从句的连接词,表示的是“是否……”这个意思,只有whether
or not…合适。 、
7. A 这个置于旬首的短语要表示的是目的,即“为了要……”你应该进行一次体检,以确定你的血液、心脏、肺功能是否正常。表示目的要用不定式,A和D的区别是A是主动态,D是被动态,这里要用主动态。
8. A serve as是个短语,意思是“作为……,起……的作用”。
9. B 这里需要的是一个连接两个从句的连接词,四个选项都具有这个功能,但意义各不相同,once的意思是“一旦”,符合本句的意思。
10.D to be based on是个固定的表达方式,意思是“在……的基础上,以……为基础”。
11.C work在作?‘工作”解时是不可数的,前面有不定冠词a,所以被排除了。余下的三个选项的意思各不相同,have ajob是“有工作”的意思,符合这里的需要。
12.D to be followed by是“后面跟着”的意思,其他几个介词都不对。
13.A 在四个选项中,和“思想”有关的是前三个,但give some thought to是一个习惯的表达方式,意思是“考虑……,对……想一想”。
14.B to be in good/poor health是短语,意为“身体好/身体不好”,其他介词都不能用。
15.C benefit是及物动词,意为“使……得益”,reap是“收获”的意思,harvest一般作名词用,lead则完全不相干。
