25、f Medicine showed that increased body weight is related to the death rate for all cancers. This is based on a study involving about 900,000 people, spanning many years.The study, started in 1992 by the American Cancer Society, included men and women from all 50 states. The youngest participants were
26、 30 years old, and the average age was 57. By December 2008, 24% of the participants had died, just a quarter of them from cancers. In analyzing the results, researchers attempted to take account of such potential factors as smoking drinking alcohol, taking aspirin and a wide variety of other factor
27、s that might otherwise affect the results. .The results are clear: the more you weigh, the greater your risk of dying of cancer will be (up to 52% higher for men and 62% for women). In men as well as women, the only cancers that did not have a strong connection with weight were lung cancer and-brain
28、 cancer. For women, the strongest correlation with weight was uterine cancer (子宫癌), which is 6.5 times higher for women with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more. For men, it was liver cancer, which is 4.5 times higher in most obese (肥胖的) men.Smokers tend to be more successful in keeping weight off
29、 than non-smokers, slightly reducing the risk. But many of them dont have good lungs. Thus, in another way, they also face risks. As for why extra weight leads to excess cancer death rate, theres no clear agreement. But the decrease in vitamin D in obese people seems a likely factor. Vitamin D is kn
30、own to have a role in preventing cancer. Also, there is a simple fact that obesity makes the management of cancer more difficult. Although for now there is no simple answer to why obesity increases a persons cancer risk, all we know for certain is that the risk is real.28. The passage is mainly conc
31、erned with the relationship between _.A. diet and cancer B. body weight and cancer C. sex and cancer D. smoking and cancer29. The author develops the passage mainly through _.A. time order B. space orderC. analysis and comparison D. figures and examples30. The underlined word “spanning” in the first
32、 paragraph probably means “_”.A. lasting B. includingC. happening D. changing31. According to the passage, what can we learn about the study?A. There is a clear explanation concerning why obesity leads to more cancers.B. Generally speaking, women face fewer risks of dying of cancer than menC. Women
33、with a BMI of 40 dying of uterine cancer are more than other women.D. Smokers are still likely to face risks of dying of cancer though keeping weight off.DAs any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may ha
34、ve worked out why. A babys cry pulls at the heartstrings (扣人心弦) in a way while other cries dont, researchers found.Researchers found that a babys cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them-whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, i
35、ncluding calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response-suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a babys cry.A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds, two
36、 parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a babys cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women-even if they had no children.Researcher Dr, Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see i
37、t, but its not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary view that both men and women would be responding to these cries,” The study involved people who were not parents, yet they are all responding quickly to these particular cries so this might be
38、 a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own childs cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear
39、 a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they were played the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying or high-pitched (高音的) birdsong. The findings could help shed light on post-natal (产后的) depression-where mothers struggle to bond with their new
40、born-by showing how a healthy brain responds to a babys cries.32. A babys cry is difficult to ignore because it .A. keeps on crying B. cries harder than adultsC. causes people great pain D. makes people feel strong emotions33. The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ A. remove B
41、. avoidC. cause D. cure34. What may Christine Parsons agree to?A. Almost everyone makes certain response to a babys cries.B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.C. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies cry.35. Computer
42、 games are mentioned in the text to show .A. players different reactions to a crying babyB. babys crying contributes to quicker reactionsC. the influence of babys and adults crying on performanceD. its hard to keep ones concentration with a crying baby nearby第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空
