4.The technology is great.Without it we wouldn't have been able to put a man on the moon,explore the ocean's depths or eat microwave sausages.Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge.But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.
  Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who've come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out,convinced that they have some rare incurable disease,say,throat cancer.The truth is usually far more ordinary,though:they don't have throat cancer,and it's just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet"school"of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.
  One day Mrs.Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work.While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong,she said calmly,"I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer.I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes."
  As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.Something wasn't right."Did your local doctor do an X-ray?"I asked."Oh,I haven't been to the doctor for years,"she replied."I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted,so I knew that's what I had."
  However,some of her symptoms,like the severe cough and weight loss,didn't fit with it-but she'd just ignored this.
  I looked at the X-ray again,and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)-something that most certainly did need treating,and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.
  Mrs.Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her."I'm so embarrassed,"she said,shaking her head,as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20,and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpectedly,the computer was not working,so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?

63.Mrs.Almond talked about her illness calmly becauseA
A.she thought she knew it well                            
B.she had purchased medicine online
C.she graduated from a medical school                 
D.she had been treated by local doctors
64.It was lucky for Mrs.AlmondD
A.to have contacted many friends                          
B.to have recovered in a short time
C.to have her assumption confirmed                          
D.to have her disease identified in time
65.Mrs.Almond said"I'm so embarrassed"(Para.7)becauseB
A.she had distrusted her close friends                        
B.she had caused unnecessary trouble
C.she had to refuse the doctor's advice                      
D.she had to tell the truth to the doctor
66.By mentioning the breakdown of the computer,the author probably wants to proveC
A.it's a must to take a break at work                    
B.it's vital to believe in IT professionals
C.it's unwise to simply rely on technology            
D.it's a danger to work long hours on computers.
11.Eating too much fatty food,exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease.But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately:the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem,but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure.In one review of the research,scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure.A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of"moderate"(良好)quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12to 14hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure.However,it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices.So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.

53.The text mainly discusses the relationship betweenA.
A.heart problems and air quality  
B.heart problems and exercising
C.heart problems and smoking  
D.heart problems and fatty food
54.The underlined word"modest"in Paragraph 3most probably meansC.
A.relatively high   
B.extremely low
C.relatively low   
D.extremely high
55.What can we learn from the text?D
A.Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B.The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
C.Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,
D.Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
56.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely toA.
A.inform  
B.persuade  
C.describe   
D.entertain.
