【题目】Directions:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Life is not easy when you are looking for something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. 【1】 Here are some life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.

【2】However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else. There is no elevator to success and you have to take the stairs.

Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else’s out there in the world. 【3】

You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to.【4】Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career.Worst of all, people follow them without even asking.There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

A. It takes continuous time and effort to be successful in any area.

B. The general rule goes that the harder you try, the greater results you get.

C. Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.

D. It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile.

E. However, in most circumstances your effort and attempt go well alongside with your desired achievement.

F. But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own path.

【题目】Two thirds of cancers are unavoidable even if you live a healthy life, a study has shown.

Scientists in the US found cancers are caused by random mistakes in the genetic code that occur when cells divide. The findings challenge the widespread view that cancer mutations are generally inherited or caused by environmental factors.

Lead scientist Dr. Cristian Tomasetti, from Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center in the US, said, “It is well-known that we must avoid environmental factors such as smoking to decrease our risk of getting cancer. But it is not as well-known that each time a normal cell divides and copies its DNA to produce two new cells, it makes various mistakes.”

The research, published in the journal Science, indicates that almost two-thirds of cancer-causing mutations are due to DNA copying errors. Overall, 66% of cancer mutations resulted from copying errors, 29% from lifestyle or environmental factors, and just 5% from inherited faulty genes. The discovery helps explains why cancer often strikes people who follow all the rules of healthy living and have no family history of the disease. Cancers caused by copying errors could occur no matter how perfect the environment is.

Professor Mel Greaves, director of the Centre for Evolution and Cancer at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, said, “Even if, as this study suggests, most individual cancer mutations are due to random chance, the researchers admit that the cancers they cause may still be preventable.”

“We have good evidence to show that cancer is caused by a complex mix of environmental exposures, inherited risk, and random chance. And while the genes we inherit from our parents are unchanged and many chance events are unavoidable, fortunately for us, exposures are major contributors to our risk of cancer and offer a route to risk reduction or prevention.”

【1】What mainly causes cancers in the original belief?

A. Cancers are caused by random mistakes in the genetic code.

B. Cancers are usually caused by inheritance or environmental factors.

C. Cancers are usually caused by poisonous food.

D. It is undiscovered how cancers occur.

【2】Which of the following is consistent with the passage?

A. Most people know that when a normal cell divides, it makes many errors.

B. As long as the environment is beneficial, people needn’t be concerned about cancers.

C. People with a healthy lifestyle won’t get cancers.

D. DNA copying errors are chiefly to blame for cancer mutations.

【3】From Greaves’s words, which of the following is acceptable?

A. The cancers caused by copying errors may be avoidable.

B. We need change the genes that we inherit form our parents.

C. Cancers are caused by some single factor.

D. We have to accept the fact that cancers will be incurable.

【4】Which section may the text belong to in a newspaper?

A. Environment. B. Humanities. C. Discovery D. Technology.

In his tests, 15 healthy men cycled 【5】 on exercise bikes in a room with levels of air pollution similar to those found 【6】 on a crowded city street. After an hour of cycling, the scientists found their blood vessels became less flexible and produced less of a protein（蛋白质）【7】 the heart needs. The damage leads to the early stages of heart disease. What's worse, the faster a cyclist pedals （蹬车），【8】 more air they breathe in. So those who believe 【9】 they are improving their fitness the most are storing up the biggest trouble for themselves 【10】.
