8、second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitchers intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over
9、 the third basemans head.All were screaming,“Shay,Shay,Shay,all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home!”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and wa

In a society that literally runs on electric power, the very idea seems
19、 preposterous. But for more than a decade, a growing band of scientists and journalists has pointed to studies that seem to link exposure to electromagnetic fields with increased risk of leukemia and other malignancies. The implications are unsettling, to say the least, since everyone comes into con

Because evidence on the subject is inconclusive and often contradictory, it has been hard to decide whether concern about the health effects of electricity i

In the executive summary of a new scientific review, released in draft form late last week, the EPA has put forward what amounts to the most serious governme

The agency tentatively concludes that scientific evidence “suggests a casual link” between extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fieldsthose having very longwave-lengthsand leukemia, lymphoma and brain cancer, While the report falls short of classifying ELF fields as probable c

If there is a cancer risk, it is a small one. The evidence is still so controversial that the draft stirred a great deal

But now no one can deny that the issue must be taken seriously and that much more research is needed.At the heart of the debate is a simple and well-understood physical phen

The ELF magnetic field

27、 per meter. This is far less than the electric fields that the cells themselves generate.How could such minuscule forces pose a health danger?

Though there is a body of laboratory work showing that exposure to ELF fields can have biological effects on animal tissues, a mechanism by which those effects could lead to cancerous growths has never been found.The Pentagon is for from persuaded. In a blistering 33-page critique

It is astonishing that the EPA would lend its imprimatur on this re
43、port.参考译文 令人惊讶的是环保署竟然批准许可这份报告的出笼。写作方法与文章大意文章以问答的方式,对比的写作方法,写出了围绕电力是否影响健康是否致癌因素的两种观点,及其观点的依据。一种是美国环境保护署为代表的:极低频磁场是一种可能但还未被证实的致癌因素,而且无视白宫和五角大楼反对,公布了这份报告。理由是科学证据提出了两者之间的关联偶然性。另一种以空军中科学家为主的观点:电磁场不会诱发或触发癌症,而且以歪曲整个文件来证明两者之关系,批评了环保署。其理由人人皆知。因军队中任一单位都有点从地面雷达到舰艇飞机防卫系统。答案祥解1. D 电力对癌症影响的不同观点。文章一开始就提出了“电会致癌吗?”这
44、个问题。十多年来,一大批科学家和新闻界人士都指出:研究结果似乎表示:接触电磁场可能会增加患白血病和其他恶性肿瘤的危险性。所以说到目前为止还难以确定电力对健康的影响究竟是理性的,还是杞人忧天。见难句注释1。第二段公布了环保署的报告,见难句注释3。第三段说明:即使有致癌危险也是极微的。但应予以认真对待,进行更多的研究。而第七段中空军方面的科学家还没有被说服(见难句注释9),明确提出,我们的评论员认为没有迹象说明环境中存在的电力会诱发或促发癌症。A. 对致癌因素的研究。 B. 致癌原因方面有争议的观点,这两项根本部队,和文内电力毫无关系。 C. 电力和癌症的关系,文中涉及的是电力究竟会不会致癌的两种
45、观点,而不是两者之关系。2. A. 电和致癌有一定难以确定的关系。答案在第二段第三句,环保署目前的结论是据科学证据指出极低频电磁场具有长波的电磁场和白血病,淋巴瘤及脑癌之间有着难以确定的联系,见难句注释3。A. 电确实致癌,不对。 C. 有争议的。说的不够清楚,争议什么。 D. 低频磁场是一个可能致癌因素。这只是论点的一面。3. B. 现代军事的任何部门都一直依赖于应用大量应用电子设备。五角大楼和白宫所以反对环保署公布报告之理由就在此。空军方面的专家所以说环保署方面的报告“歪曲了整个文件以证明两者之间的关系”也在此。见难句注释4。所以文内说“角大楼的关注是可以理解的。”A. 报告会在布什政府内
46、引起大规模的辩论,这是结果。 C. 五角大楼的关注是可以理解的,这不是原因。 D. 他们有不同的观点。4. A.磁场力太弱不会产生有害作用。答案在第四段第二,三句,当电流通过电缆,产生磁场,对周围物体产生(影响)力。许多年来,科学家把任何有关“这些力可能有害的想法”置于一边(不予考虑),主要是因为它们(所产生的力)非常弱。B. 磁场力比细胞产生的电磁场弱。只是明确指出的事实。 C. 磁场力对人的健康有害。不对。 D. 只有更强的辐射才能把人体中的电子击出来。不对。5. C. 他们会采取谨慎小心避开电器的途径。因为他们不可能象A项那样漠不关心。这种问题直接影响人的生命。B. 他们非常担忧。 D.
47、 他们感到震惊,这两项都不可能,因为还在争议中,唯一的途径是尽量避开和电器接触。 阅读理解 About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings.Instead, they receive their elementary(初等)and high school education by working at home on computers.
