25、lp OneselfDKeep Growing to Live a Happy LifeCLondon UndergroundThe worlds first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible
26、 for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes o
27、utside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast track
28、was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and plea

33、 subway opened.DWhy elephants rarely get cancer is a mystery that has confused scientists for decades. A study was led by researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah and Arizona State University, including researchers from the Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservat
34、ion may have found the answer. According to the results, elephants have 38 additional modified copies of a gene (基因) that encodes p53, a well-defined tumor (肿瘤) suppressor, as compared to humans, who have only two. Further, elephants may have a more powerful mechanism for killing damaged cells that
35、are at risk for becoming cancerous. In isolated elephant cells, this activity is doubled compared to healthy human cells, and five times that of cells from patients with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, who have only one working copy of p53 and more than a 90 percent lifetime cancer risk in children and adults
36、. The results suggest extra p53 could explain elephants increased resistance to cancer.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer. Its up to us to learn how different animals overcome the problem so we can adapt those strategies to prevent cancer in people,” says co-senior author Joshua S
37、chiffman, M.D, pediatric oncologist (肿瘤学家) at Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah School of Medicine, and Primary Childrens Hospital.According to Schiffman, elephants have long been considered a walking problem. Because they have 100 times as many cells as people, they should be 100 times
38、more likely to have a cell slip into a cancerous state and cause the disease over their long life span of 50 to 70 years. And yet its believed that elephants get cancer less often, a theory confirmed in this study. Analysis of a large database of elephant deaths estimates a cancer death rate of less
39、 than 5 percent compared to 11 to 25 percent in people.32Why do humans often get cancer compared to elephants according to the passage?AElephants are bigger than humans.BElephants have more p53 than humans.CElephants are not as clever as humans.DElephants eat more than humans.33Which of the followin
40、g is right according to the passage?ASome damaged cells may be dangerous.BSome damaged cells are not dangerous.CSome damaged cells cant be cancerous.DSome damaged cells in elephants bodies are more dangerous than those in humans bodies.34What can we know from the last paragraph?AElephants have more
41、cells than people.BElephants can get cancer easily.CElephants seldom die from cancer.DElephants often die from cancer.35Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AElephants help usBLearn from NatureCHow to deal with cancerDNature helps us prevent cancer第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内
