But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to
116、 Australia without delay. Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt. She was his fathers only sister, but his father used to say she brought no g
117、lory to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with trade. Of course as soon as she became Mrs. Parks, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and lef
118、t her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brothers opinion. Hilary discovered his aunts address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilarys star shone again, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor
119、who had just reached harbor. He had only about a sixpence in his pocket. One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw him out of it. There was only one thing that could sav
120、e him: her will. Will? she said, yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people. Didnt you make another will when you were married? Hilary asked. His aunt shook her head. No, she said in a low voice, There was no need. When I fin
121、ally had a lot of money I found 1 had no relations. On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest
122、 relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunts only relation. His future was safe. After a few months had passed, Hilarys problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrib
123、le. Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While
124、 he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decision. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman. One night when the old
125、 servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever. Thank you, his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again.
126、 Is that what you wish, Hilary? Dont blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldnt marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me.W
127、ell, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, youll get nothing.No, Hilary, dont try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I dont want to know. Good night, Hilary. Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank. 55. From
128、 the story ,we learn that Hilarys aunt was _.A. bad-tempered and lonely B. kind-hearted and wise C. careless about money D. cruel to her niece56. Why did Hilarys father consider his aunt dead? A. Because they lost contact with each other after her marriage. B. Because she married a businessman with
129、a wife against his will. C. Because she broke away from the family for a better life. D. Because he thought she was a shame to the family57. The underlined sentence He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman in paragraph 11 suggests that Hilary Smith _. A. was determined to put his aunts life
130、 to an end B. decided to do his aunt a favor to call in a lawyer C. made up his mind to take good care of his aunt D. would help his aunt to donate all her money to religious people58.

Hilarys aunt must leave the money to the religious people after she dies. D. Hilary must look after his aunt

134、ake another will in your favourIf I die tonight, youll get nothingNo, Hilary, dont try to take the glass awayIf you do that, I shall know and I dont want to knowGoodnight, Hilary说明他的阿姨很清楚他想做的事情，是非常聪明的。在他穷苦潦倒的时候，他的阿姨接纳了他，也说明她是很善良的，故B说法正确。56.D推理题。根据第3段Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connecte
135、d with tradeOf course as soon as she became Mrs Parks ,her brother considered her dead和倒数第2段One thing I ought to explain to youMr Parks never married meHe already had a wife and couldnt marry againThat made your foolish father very angry with me说明Hilary的父亲认为他的妹妹做的事情是一件让人羞愧的事情，故D正确。57.A 推理题。根据下一段he d
136、oubled the amount of some medicineThe total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever说明他想谋杀他的阿姨，想让她一睡不醒。故A正确。58.A推理题。Hilary来到阿姨这里是因为缺少钱，他和阿姨的争吵也是为了钱，最后想把阿姨害死还是因为钱，所以他的一切都是为了钱，故A说法正确。59.B细节题。根据第8段When a woman is married, an earlier will lose its valueA new will must be madeIf no
137、 new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relationHilary knew that he was his aunts only relationHis future was safe如果一个人结婚以后没有立新的遗嘱，那么原来立的遗嘱是无效的，她的钱会遗传给她最亲的亲戚，这样的条款正好符合Hilary的阿姨的情况，故B正确60.C根据文章最后两段内容可知在他的阿姨喝了那杯水的时候，故事到了高潮。故事也随之结束。Hilary聪明反被聪明误了。故文章最后一段是高潮部分，C项正确。【英语卷（解析）2015届浙江省杭州二中高三第二次月考（2
138、01412）】DThe first memory I have of him-of anything, really-is his strength. It was in the late afternoon in a house under construction near ours. The unfinished wood floor had large, terrifying holes whose big and opening darkness I knew led to nowhere good. His powerful hands, then age 33, wrapped
139、all the way around my tiny arms, then age 4, and easily swung me up to his shoulders to command all I surveyed. The relationship between a son and his father changes over time. It may grow and flourish in mutual maturity. It may sour in hated dependence or independence. With many children living in
140、single-parent homes today, it may not even exist. But to a little boy right after World War II, a father seemed a god with strange strengths and strange powers enabling him to do and know things that no mortal could do or know. Amazing things, like putting a bicycle chain back on, just like that, or
141、 building a hamster cage, or guiding a jigsaw(拼版玩具)so it forms the letter F; I learned the alphabet that way in those pre-television days. There were, of course, rules to learn. First came the handshake, a good firm squeeze accompanied by an equally strong gaze into the others eyes. The first thing
142、anyone knows about you is your handshake,” he would say. And wed practice it each night on his return from work, the serious toddler(学步儿童)in the old Cleveland Indians cap running up to the giant father to shake hands again and again until it was firm enough.One day, I realize now, there was a change
143、. I wasnt trying to please him so much as I was trying to impress him. I never asked him to come to my football games. He had a high-pressure career, and it meant driving through most of Friday night. But for all the big games, when I looked over at the sideline, there was that familiar fedora(软呢帽).
144、 And by God, did the opposing team captain ever get a firm handshake and a gaze he would remember?Then, a school fact contradicted something he said. Impossible that he could be wrong, but there it was in the book. These accumulated over time, along with personal experiences, to strengthen my own de
145、veloping sense of values. And I could tell we had each taken our own, perfectly normal paths. I began to see, too, his blind spots, his prejudices and his weaknesses. I never threw these up at him. He hadnt to me, and, anyway, he seemed to need protection. I stopped asking his advice; the experience
146、s he drew from no longer seemed relevant to the decisions I had to make.He volunteered advice for a while. But then, in more recent years, politics and issues gave way to talk of empty errands and, always, to illness. After much thought and practice “ You can do whatever you have to do.”, one night
147、last winter, I sat down by his bed and remembered for an instant those terrifying dark holes in another house 35 years before. I told my father how much I loved him. I described all the things people were doing for him. But, I said, he kept eating poorly, hiding in his room and violating the doctors
148、 orders. No amount of love could make someone else care about life, I said; it was a two-way street. He wasnt doing his best. The decision was his. He said he knew how hard my words had been to say and how proud he was of me. “I had the best teacher,” I said. “You can do whatever you have to do.” He
149、 smiled a little. And we shook hands, firmly, for the last time.Several days later, at about 4 A.M., my mother heard Dad shuffling about their dark room. “ I have some things I have to do,” he said. He paid a bundle of bills. He composed for my mother a long list of legal and financial what-to-dos “
150、 in case of emergency.” And he wrote me a note. Then he walked back to his bed and laid himself down. He went to sleep, naturally. And he did not wake up.55.

179、eep, loud voice boomed toward us. It was mile 17 of the marathon.“Hey, great stride!” a bearded viewer yelled to me. He clapped loudly. “Youre looking strong. Keep goinggo, go, go!”You bet Im looking strong, I thought, as I followed my younger sister, Laura. I just got started. She had been diligent
180、ly clocking eight-minute miles since the race had begun downtown. Initially in the middle of a pack, which was several thousand people, she had been steadily passing other runners for the past 10 miles or so. We were now on the relatively steep rise to the St. Cecelia Bridge. Once we crossed, we wou
181、ld begin heading back into town, running along the east side of the Rincon River. Laura had asked me to run the most difficult section of the marathon with her. Not having trained for anything more challenging than a quick walk, and with no experience running in organized events, I figured I might b
182、e good for two or three miles.Up ahead, steel drums were playing. A group of drummers was beating their drums, chanting, and encouraging us with their music and smiles. Crossing the bridge, I recalled the advice in the Marathon Handbook. During my preview of the route, it had seemed like a babyish t
183、hing to do. But now it seemed like a fine idea, and I spat magnificently over the side of the bridge.“I read the handbook, too!” said a woman behind me, who also let loose over the side of the bridge.

184、s to occupy my attention, namely the back of Lauras sweater.Easing off the bridge, and heading south on Avila Boulevard, Laura and I found our pace together again. Here we could hang to the left of the group and enjoy some brief conversation. “You keeping up okay?” she asked. Being her older brother
185、, and therefore unable to admit weakness, I nodded convincingly.“Hey, Lee!” yelled a waving man on the sidewalk. Immediately pleased that my marathon efforts had been recognized by someone I knew, I waved back and reflected on the importance of wearing tie-dyed clothing to a road race of this size.
186、It made it a lot easier to be spotted!The town marathon is a “peoples” marathon in that it tends to be a family affair, with the runners and spectators creating a festival atmosphere. I managed to run six miles before bowing out, and Laura finished the entire race in under four hours. I now pride my
187、self on telling people that I ran in a marathon. The distinction between having run a marathon and having run in a marathon seems unimportant. If pressed, however, Ill admit that I only ran one-fourth of one.Inspired by this years experience, I plan to walk the coursereally fastnext year. Its not be
188、cause Im jealous of my sisters accomplishment. This is not some silly competition in which I must do whatever she does. Rather, Laura got free cookies at the finish line, and the promise of that will lead me to any goal.67. Why did the author write this story?A. to explain how marathons are wonB. to

While there, I was attentive to Korean
472、 high schools and students.I was surprised by how different Koreas public high schools are from Americas. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的) unlike our standard co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1” (10th), “go 2” (11th) and “go 3” (12th). Go” is the first s
473、yllable of the word “go-deung -hakkyo, which, simply translated, is “high school”.In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you dont have to take an entrance exam. In Korea, however, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools. Another difference I couldnt
474、 help but notice was the students appearance. With very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌) with the students name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girls skirts cant be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye (染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) ex
475、cept small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.The final difference was the setup of the classes. There may be 40 students in a classroom, but the number can be les
476、s or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. Although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects. There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.
477、They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America
478、 is that Koreans have school on Saturdays. Although its only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.Koreas public high schools are clearly different from Americas. I had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now I h

One of the exhausting aspects of
484、 modern parenting is that everything, even doing nothing, has to be purposeful. Now that “parenting” has become a verb a state of doing, rather than simply being it can fed unnatural to leave your children to their own devices. Yet it creates spaces in which good things can happen. The psychology le
485、cturer is responding to a survey showing that 80 percent of parents of small children feel under pressure to fill their days with “structured” activities. This, says Dr. Whitehead, is a mistake. Leaving your children to play on their own or with their peers enables them to develop “self-regulation a
486、bilities”, which in turn leads to better academic achievement.One afternoon last autumn, sitting on a bench doing no parenting at all, I suddenly felt I was getting the hang of it.That afternoon, my sister and I took our children to the park. We had lots to talk about, so we sat down on a bench and
487、drove the children away. After briefly complaining, the cousins wandered off and started jumping into puddles (水洼).They jumped and jumped, and then one of them kicked some muddy water at the others. My sister and I, deep in conversation, didnt notice this. So my nephew became more adventurous. He sc
488、ooped up a handful of mud and threw it on my sons head. My son caught his breath happily, wiped the mud out of his eyes, and threw one back. My nephew, who has a talent for naming things, puffed out his tiny chest and roared: “Lets play Muddikins!”The rules of Muddikins are simple. You run around th
489、rowing mud at each other until everyone is so thickly coated that you can no longer be sure which child is whose. Nothing is learnt from it; nobody is improved. It is pure fun, of the sort that can only happen when parents drop the reins (缰绳). They did it. “ Whoa, thats so cool,” said one. “I wish m

It was a simple affair, and as a capable 12-year-old, I could have easily done it alone. But my father spent th
495、e time together with me, and before I knew it, we were both out in the garage, working away. I wish I had thought about this when I was raising my first son. We never built anything together. Oh, we had a lot of fun, for sure. But we never undertook a common work of our hands. A few years ago, when
496、Anton, my second son, asked if we could build a treehouse in the big silver maple behind our house, his suggestion immediately reminded me of the memory. Yes, I thought. Of course. My second chance. And so, one day while Anton was in school and I had some free time, I bought some wood. But one thing
497、 led to another and we got only as far as the ladder and a simple platform. His vision for the treehouse was not fulfilled that summer, and the three following summers saw me involved with other things. In the middle of our quiet supper last night, I looked at Anton, a high school student now and as
498、ked, “Anton, are you still interested in finishing the treehouse?” “Sure, Dad,” he said, and within that “sure” was contained, perhaps, his own self-awareness of a childhood to which he was still attached.We continued where we had left off. I was surprised at how good a worker Anton had become. Wher
499、e four years ago all he could really do with confidence was hammer nails, now he was measuring and cutting. In one moment that took my breath away, he attempted to center a support beam(支撑梁)while looking to me for direction. “Is it centered, Dad?” I waved him a little to the right. Then a little mor

And that made all the difference.51 Not having built anything together with his first son, the author felt _.A. disappointedB. s

A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of u
506、s feel awkward.Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch?Its even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which si
507、de? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?But it isnt just people from cultures that emphasize a reservedness in expressing physical intimacy(亲密) who find hugging confusing. Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.In a recent article for The W
508、all Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture “more physically demonstrative than Japan, where a bow is the all-purpose hello and goodbye, but less demonstrative than Latin or Eastern European cultures, where hugs are strong and can incl
509、ude a kiss on both cheeks”, Americans do seem to be hugging more.From politicians to celebrities, hugs are given willy-nilly to friends, strangers and enemies alike; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice. Public figures know that nothing projects like the ability as a good hug. US Fi
510、rst Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England, on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners. But not all are grateful to be embraced, even by the most influential and famous. To them, any
511、 hug is offensive if its not sincere.Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. Its all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used
512、 by public figures to establish their social dominance over those in their grasp.Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US

519、 hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friends opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major rol
520、e in a childs life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day acco
521、rdingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled
522、 kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to fin
523、ish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compared with my kid. However, I mi

Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I dont study sociology or political theory. I

565、男性主导的领域中工作高兴与否，对于性别歧视问题，作者只是因对问题本身兴趣不大，而不善于讲述。42.A。解析：判断推理题 根据第二段第三句My every achievementjobs, research papers, awardswas viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. 也就是认为她的失败是由性别偏见引起的。43.C。解析：判断推理题 四个选项中，A说是缺少在太空科学领域成功的信心。文章提到了作者失去信心的问题，Ittookme10yearstogetbacktheconfidence
566、Ihadat19 ，但这个信心是作者在面对世人对女性偏见时有信心不予理睬，而不是科研领域的信心。B说是来自她的圈内圈外的不公平指责。世人戴着性别的有色眼镜看她(wasviewedthroughthelensofgenderpolitics)，但这也仅仅是一种态度罢了，还没到指责、责难的地步。所以B的说法不能算对。C说是人们对女性科学家的固有态度。文中第二段从ButwhileearningmyPh.D.atMITandthenasapost-doctordoingspaceresearch,theissuestartedtobotherme这句开始，讲述了作者面对世人成见时如何挺身而出、为女性仗
567、义执言。这也就是C所表达的意思。D说是对自然与培育的广泛误解。根据第二段，natureversusnurture的问题是作者与人争论的话题之一，是诸多对女性的成见之一，文中具体举出的例子就另有leftbrainversusrightbrain。而作者要斗争的是所有遭受的成见，D所说的这其中一种成见不可能是题目所说的整个时期内一直都要斗争的对象。44.D。解析：判断推理题 根据最后一段someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at
568、being able to answer, 45. 在作者研究的领域里，女生是很少的，而现在班里45人全部是女生，作者很有可能是为在自己研究的领域里出现了这么多的女性而感到满意。45.C。解析：判断推理题 根据最后一段第三句I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children.作者之所以展示这一图景，就是为了打消学生对于生育孩子会否影响科学研究的忧虑。【英语卷（解析）2015届四川省绵阳中学高三上学期第五次月考（201412）】BFor
569、my grandmothers 70th birthday, my family and I visited South Korea. While there, I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.I was surprised by how different Koreas public high schools are from Americas. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的) unlike our standard co-e
570、d high schools. There are three grades: “go 1” (10th), “go 2” (11th) and “go 3” (12th). Go” is the first syllable of the word “go-deung -hakkyo, which, simply translated, is “high school”.In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you dont have to take an entrance exam. In Korea, however
571、, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools. Another difference I couldnt help but notice was the students appearance. With very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌) with the students name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girls skirts cant
572、be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye (染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.The final d
573、ifference was the setup of the classes. There may be 40 students in a classroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. Although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for dif
574、ferent subjects. There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them, all
575、 schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays. Although its only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.Koreas public high
576、 schools are clearly different from Americas. I had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.35.

663、 for evacuating 1 million children to the United States and Canada and other Commonwealth nations. It established the Childrens Overseas Reception Board (CORB) in May 1940.

It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew (腱). And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since
695、those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency. Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the n
696、eedle around with each stitch (缝合) in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection. Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed by a
697、 group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine. American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howes machine had a needle with
698、an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens
699、of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines. Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also dev
700、eloped a foot treadle (脚踏板) to power his machine. This improvement left the sewers hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home use
701、and it could be bought on hire-purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of pate

In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention. 33. Barthelemy Thimonniers garment factory was burned

However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
708、In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bat

Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of dise

Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preven

930、se that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors (肿瘤) or doesnt it? While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly
931、 double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing. In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and m
932、ay not cause serious health problems in patients remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors,
933、 patients and social groups. Its hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 wh
934、o have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy. A

Its not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering thes
936、e tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes. We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.”63.

942、】BWhy Are Pig Farmers Still Using Growth-Promoting Drugs?Its one of the most controversial practices in agriculture: feeding small amounts of antibiotics to animals in order to make them grow faster. But what if the drugs dont even work very well? Theres some good evidence that they dont, at least i
943、n pigs. They used to deliver a boost in growth, but that effect has disappeared in recent years or declined greatly. The reason for this is interesting and even paradoxical. Researchers think the antibiotics used to work by suppressing low-grade infections. In recent years, however, pork producers f
944、ound other ways to accomplish the same thing through improved hygiene (卫生). As a result, the drugs have become largely superfluous yet many farmers still use them.To understand how this happened, you have to step back in time, says Steve Dritz, a specialist in pig nutrition at Kansas State Universit
945、y. Sixty years ago, when antibiotics were new, people started treating animals, and feeding the antibiotics, and finding that they had increased growth rates and feed efficiencies, he says. Nursery-age pigs, for instance, grew 12 to 15 percent faster with antibiotics. The animals also needed less fe
946、ed to reach full weight. Other studies showed similar results in chickens and cattle. In the 1980s, a new set of studies found similar effects. So the growth-promoting effects of antibiotics became standard practice among meat producers.Fast forward to the 1990s. Dritz was starting his career as a s
947、cientist at Kansas State University, and pork production was changing dramatically. Previously, pigs were born and raised in one barn or in several barns close together. This meant infections could easily pass from one generation to the next, the way that kids share germs between their friends on th
948、e playground and their parents at home. Under the new system, when piglets are weaned, they move to a whole different place. That new site is carefully scrubbed and free of disease.Craig Rowles, who runs a large swine operation in Carroll, Iowa, shows me one such room. Theres not a piglet in sight.
949、This room just got completely washed and disinfected, and now its going to sit here and dry for a while, he says.A whole group of pigs will come in here together, and later they will move out together to yet another site. That group of pigs will stay together until they go to market, Rowles says.The
950、 groups are kept strictly separated from each other. If workers move between the groups, they first have to change their boots.When farmers adopted multisite production, it cut down on disease and pigs actually grew faster.59. One of the advantages of using antibiotics in the past is that it _.A. he

1275、arper.There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, (认知功能) possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Yet, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions such as memory and attention. Losing weight
1276、, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷). So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might im
1277、prove mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the
1278、 beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for co
1279、gnitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didnt lose weight dropped even further.The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that hes seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study th
1280、ose who choose to lose weight by the traditional wayeating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. “If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral w
1281、eight loss as well,” he says.32. There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers _.A. believe overweight only affects our bodyB. have focused on ways to sharpen peoples mindC. do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityD. are clear about the rel
1282、ation between weight and mental functions33. The result of Gunstads study shows that _.A. losing weight has little effect on peoples memoryB. losing weight can improve peoples mental functions C. overweight people are likely to have psychology problems D. overweight peoples abilities of concentratio
1283、n differ greatly34. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A. Slim people are smarter than overweight people.B. Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.C. Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.D. Overweight people will get smarter by taking more ex

1285、由此他希望能够在通过锻炼减肥的人们身上也看到这种效果。【答案解析】32.C 细节理解题。根据文中There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance.可知人们在此之前很少研究肥胖和认知功能之间存在关系的原因是人们没有认为肥胖是导致认知功能下降的基本原因，答案选C。33.B细节理解题。根据文章首段L
