12.Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40percent in a decade,UK scientists will report today.
Wide uptake of cholesterol-busting statin drugs(降胆固醇药),healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks,stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的) problems.
However,heart disease remains Britain's biggest killer.
The new study,by experts at Oxford University,shows there has been a 44.4percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011.
The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe.They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe,with 342deaths as a result of heart disease per 100,000men in 2011,and 232per 100,000women.
Some nations---including Ukraine,Macedonia and Moldova-see more than 1,000heart deaths per 100,000of the population.
Overall,heart disease causes 45percent of all deaths across Europe,but only 27percent in the UK.The study,led by Dr Nick Townsend,showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age.
But researchers said that across Europe  it  still causes more than 1.4million deaths in those aged under 75and nearly 700,000deaths in under 65s.Dr Townsend said:"Cardiovascular disease results in 49percent of deaths among women and 41per cent among men."

5.From the text we can knowD.
A.heart disease no longer threatens the British
B.the heart death rate among British men is lower than among women
C.the old mainly dies of stroke in Europe
D.the heart death rate in Ukraine is higher than in Britain
6.What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to?B
A.Stroke.    
B.Cardiovascular disease.
C.Lung disease.
D.Heart attacks.
7.How does the author support his idea?A
A.By analyzing data.
B.By following processes.
C.By describing his own experiences.
D.By discussing research experiments.
8.Where is the text most likely to have been taken from?C
A.A speech                B.A story         
C.A scientific study      D.A personal diary.

分析 本文的科普类说明文,文章介绍因为降胆固醇药、改善了的医疗实践和健康的生活方式,近十年来因心脏病而死亡的比率在英国下降了40%;调查数据显示在英国的记录数据在欧洲是最好的,但是它仍是英国最大的杀手;心血管病主要是老年病,但是它仍会导致很多75和65岁以下的人的死亡;

解答 5.答案选D.细节理解题;由第五段中"They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe,with 342deaths as a result of heart disease per 100,000men in 2011,and 232per 100,000women."可知英国每10万人中男性有342人因心脏病而死亡,女性有232人因心脏病而死亡;由第六段中"Some nations---including Ukraine,Macedonia and Moldova-see more than 1,000heart deaths per 100,000of the population."可知在 Ukraine每10万人中因心脏病而死亡的人数超过1000,可见答案选D.
6.答案选B.词义猜测题;由倒数第二段中"The study,led by Dr Nick Townsend,showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age."心血管病主要是老年病;随后在最后一段中作者说明,它仍导致很多75和65岁以下的人的死亡;由此判断这里的it指的是上文中的 cardiovascular disease,故选B.
7.答案选A.写作手法判断题;文章中多处列举数据进行分析,故选A.
8.答案选C.推断题;根据文章内容判断来源;本文分析因心脏病而死亡的比率在英国大幅度下降,但仍然是英国的最大杀手;所以判断这是科普类文章,故答案选C.

点评 科普文通常学术性较强,结构严谨,往往采用总-分-总或总-分的结构,且每段的第一句话大多是主旨句.如果抓住了科普文的首尾和每段的第一句话,那么整篇文章的中心思想便了然于心.在做细节题时根据题干定位细节,在语境中正确理解原句,然后对照选项做出合理的判断

17.Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the"mothers'milk"genes into the animal before birth,according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult,the cloned cow"will produce milk that is  similar to that of humans",which will prove"a development of  great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)",said the  institute."The cloned cow,named Rosita ISA,is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk,"said the statement.
In April,scientists in China published details of research  showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk.But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene,while their research involved two,meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.
"Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows'milk by adding two human genes,which do good to the immune system of infants,"said Adrian Mutto,from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.
Cristina  Kirchner,President  of Argentina,said  the scientific institute made all Argentines proud.She also said that she had rejected the"honor"of having the cow named after her."They came to tell me that the name is Cristina,but what woman would like to have a cow named after her?It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita."

25.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.The importance of genetic engineering.
B.Ways to improve mothers'milk.
C.A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.
D.Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.
26.Which of the following can best replace"more closely resemble"in Paragraph 4?B
A.have more varieties than
B.be more similar to
C.have more nutrition than
D.be more different from
27.What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner's statements?A
A.She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.
B.She considered it an honor to name the special cow.
C.She felt it improper to be named after the cow.
D.She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.
4.A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies,creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.
An electromagnetic (电磁)field will pull particles(微粒) in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned."
It's like when you have a balloon which has static(静电) and your hair goes toward it.Same with the smog,"says artist Daan Roosegaarde.
His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.
With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog,Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.
Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results-with the help of a team of scientists and engineers-can be replicated outside.
"Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low.It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind.It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing."
"We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again."
Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem,rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.
"This is not the real answer for smog.The real answer has to do with clean cars,different industry and different lifestyles."
However,he hopes the project will make a"fundamental statement"by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.

25.The device works byB.
A.helping keep the particles out with more masks
B.pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C.absorbing hair with a balloon with static
D.creating clean air and let it out into the sky
26.According to the passage,C.
A.the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing
B.they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors
C.the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable
D.the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution
27.What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying"Beijing is quite a good place…"?C
A.The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.
B.The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.
C.Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.
D.It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.
28.Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing toA.
A.pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B.invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C.drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D.realize how serious the pollution they're facing is.

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. And it has influenced(影响)us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

D. life was hard for the young family.

3.What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help.

B. One should take care of their bike.

C. News reports make people famous.

D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

4.Which one do you think is NOT TRUE according to the text?

A. The couple will never steal bikes in revenge.

B. The couple will try their best to help others in trouble.
