People are particularly concerned that the radiation will put cellphone use
47、rs at a higher risk of suffering from cancer. However, studies of the association between cellphone use and the risk of brain cancer have reached different conclusions(some, but not all, studies showed increased risk).Researchers conducted a study to examine if cellphone radiation affected regional
48、activity in the human brain. The study, conducted between January 1 and December 31, 2009,included 47 participants.

50、tabolism did not differ between the on and off conditions. However there were regional effects. Metabolism in some brain region was higher (about 7 percent) for cellphone on than for cellphone off conditions.

55、function but it doesnt lead to brain cancer.65. The study in the passage tells us .A. the whole-brain metabolism is not affected by cellphone radiationB. how cellphone radiation affects brain glucose metabolismC. studies on the relationship between cellphone use and brain cancer are uselessD. glucos
56、e metabolism in the brain regions absorbing more cellphone radiation decreases66. The underlined word “induce” in the passage can be replaced by “ “.A. reduce B. introduce C. cause D. suggestDWhen we consider the global energy agenda we tend to focus on those of us who already have energy.

58、ark ages.One in five people in the world today has no electricity. Two out of every five people have no clean way of cooking. They rely on coal cooking stoves that contribute to the indoor air pollution that kills about 1.6 million people every year. Almost all energy-poor people, 95 percent, live i
59、n Africa or Asia, and over 80 percent live in the countryside.On Monday, a special conference called “Energy for All” began looking at how to help these people get the energy they need to improve their well-being and health.Switching the lights on for the worlds poor by 2030 would require a mere 3 p
60、ercent of projected global energy investment(投资), about 48 billion dollars per year. But thats more than five times what is currently spent in the area. Most investment these days goes into connections in the worlds big cities because thats where the profits are. Rural areas are being left behind, p
61、articularly as one key energy source is oil, whose price has increased greatly in the last decade.So it requires political will, strong regulation and a much bigger effort from private companies for everyone to have energy by 2030.
