17、uld have a lot more cancer than mice, but we dont.Dr. Petos argument was simple. Every time a cell divides, theres a small chance it will gain a mutation(突变) that speeds up its growth. Cells that accumulate (聚集) several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an animal is, the more cells
18、 it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo (经历) about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as miceand thus should be far more likely to get cancer.A number of scientists have assumed that large, long-lived animals must have evolved extra cancer-fightin
19、g weapons. Otherwise, these species would die out.Dr. Joshua DSchiffman, an oncologist (肿瘤学家）at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contrast, 11 percent to 25 percent of humans die of cancer.To under
20、stand the elephants defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is vital to preventing cancer called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene. While huma
21、ns have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer, they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with damaging radiation, chemicals and UV light.“In all cases, instea
22、d of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide” said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.Patricia Muller, an oncologist at the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of Leicester, who was not in
23、volved in the studies, said the results, though convincing, didnt firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies dont actually cause cells to commit suicide. Instead, they may act as decoys (诱饵) for enzymes (酶) that destroy p53 proteins.Dr. M
24、uller said it was especially important to understand precisely how elephants fight cancer before trying to copy their strategies with drugs for humans.24What does the 2nd paragraph want to tell us?AHuman should be more likely to develop cancer than mice.BCell division can increase the speed of growt

26、 say about the extra copies of p53 fighting cancer?AThey cause the cells to repair the genes.BThey stop cells from dividing further.CThey act as decoys for enzymes that destroy p53 proteins.DThey cause the cells to commit suicide.27Which of the following is TRUE?ADr. Schiffman pointed out that we hu

More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly the
