考题 共用题干 第一篇In what may be bad news for bars and pubs,a European research group has found that people drinking alcohol outside of meals have a significantly higher risk of cancer in the mouth and neck than do those taking their libations with food.Luigino Dal Maso and his colleagues studied the drinking pattems of 1 ,500 patients from four cancer studies and another 3,500 adults who had never had cancer.After the researchers accounted for the amount of alcohol consumed,they found that individuals who downed a significant share of their alcohol outside of meals faced at least a 50 to 80 percent risk of cancer in the oral cavity（腔）,pharynx（咽）,and esophagus（食管）,when compared with people who drank only at meals.Consuming alcohol without food also increased by at least 20 percent the likelihood of laryngeal（喉）cancer."Roughly 95 percent of cancers at these four sites traced to smoking or drinking by the study volunteers,"Dal Maso says.The discouraging news,his team reports, is that drinking with meals didn't eliminate cancer risk at any of the sites.For their new analysis,the European scientists divided people in the study into four groups, based on how many drinks they reported having in an average week.The lowest-intake group includ-ed people who averaged up to 20 drinks a week.The highest group reported downing at least 56 servings of alcohol weekly for an average of eight or more per day.Cancer risks for the mouth and neck sites rose steadily with consumption even for people who reported drinking only with meals.For instance,compared with people in the lowest-consumption group,participants who drank 21 to 34 alcohol servings a week at least doubled their cancer risk for all sites other than the laryngeal cancer. If people in these consumption groups took some of those drinks outside meals,those in the higher consumption group at least quadrupled their risk for oral cavity and esophageal cancers.People in the highest-consumption group who drank only with meals had 10 times the risk of oral cancer,7 times the risk of pharyngeal cancer,and 16 times the risk of esophageal cancer compared with those who averaged 20 or fewer drinks a week with meals.In contrast,laryngeal cancer risk in the high-intake,with-meals-only group was only triple that in the low-intake consumers who drank with meals."Alcohol can inflame tissues.Over time,that inflammation can trigger cancer."Dal Maso says.He suspects that food reduced cancer risk either by partially coating digestive-tract tissues or by scrubbing alcohol off those tissues.He speculates that the reason laryngeal risks were dramatically lower for all study participants traces to the tissue's lower exposure to alcohol.According to the last paragraph,tissue's lower exposure to alcohol__________.A:explains why inflammation triggers cancerB:accounts for why food can coat digestive-tract tissuesC:is the reason why food can scrub alcohol off tissuesD:reduces the risk of laryngeal cancer

考题 共用题干 Washoe Learned American Sign Language1.An animal that influenced scientific thought has died.A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington.Washoe had become known in the scientific community arid around the world for her ability to use American sign language.She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language.Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.2.Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966.In 1969,the Gardners described Washoe's progress in a scientific report.The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words.For example,Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas.She also asked questions like,"Who is coming to play?"Once the news about Washoe spread,many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research.The whole direction of primate research changed.3. However,critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers.They said she had never developed true language skills.Even now there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory,and perform the signs only for prizes.Yet Washoe's keepers disagree.Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners.He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg,Washington.There,Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees,which are still alive.4.Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoe provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees.Today,there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps.Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.5.Debate continues about chimps' understanding of human communication.Yet,one thing is sure一Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.Some scientists doubted________.A:if the Gardeners' argument was soundB:because she was cleverer than other chimpsC:when she wanted to eatD:while she was at a research center in EllensburgE:because she could use sign language to ask for fruits F: while Washoe was learning sign language

考题 共用题干 第二篇 Brain-dead Mother Dies after Giving BirthA brain-dead woman who was kept alive for three months so she could deliver the child she was carrying was removed from life support on Wednesday and died,a day after giving birth."This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family,"Justin Torres,the woman's brother-in-law,said in a statement.Susan Torres,a cancer-stricken,26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health,suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma（黑瘤）spread to her brain.Her family decided to keep her alive to give her foetus（胎儿）a chance. It became a race between the foetus' development and the cancer that was destroying the woman's body.Doctors said that Torres' health was getting worse and that the risk of harm to the foetus finally outweighed the benefits of extending the pregnancy.Torres gave birth to a daughter by Caesarean section（剖腹产手术）on Tuesday at Virginia Hospital Center.The baby was two months premature and weighed about a kilogram.She was in the newborn intensive care unit.Dr. Donna Tilden-Archer , the hospital's director of neonatology（新生儿学）,described the child as"very vigorous".She said the baby had responded when she received stimulation,indicating she was healthy.Doctors removed Torres from life support early Wednesday with the consent of her husband , Jason Torres , after she received the final sacrament（圣礼）of the Roman Catholic Church."We thank all of those who prayed and provided support for Susan,the baby and our family,"Jason Torres said in a statement."We especially thank God for giving us little Susan.My wife's courage will never be forgotten."English-language medical}iterature contains at least 11 cases since 1 979 of irreversibly brain-damaged women whose lives were prolonged for the benefit of the developing foetus,according to the University of Connecticut Health Center.Dr.Christopher McManus,who coordinated care for Susan Torres,put the infant's chances of developing cancer at less than 25 per cent.He said 19 women who have had the same aggressive form of melanoma as Torres have given birth,and five of their babies became ill with the disease. Susan Torres died soon afterA:she suffered a stroke. B: she became brain-dead.C: she was diagnosed with cancer. D:she gave birth to a baby.

考题 共用题干 Study Says Dogs Can Smell CancerDogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs .Now a study suggests that the animal known as man's best friend can even find bladder（膀胧）cancer.Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors（气味）.Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors,even in very small amounts,in urine（尿）.The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.The study follows reports of cases where,for example,a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The mole（痣）was later found to be skin cancer.Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England.They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patie nts,from people with other diseases and from healthy people.Each dog was tested eight times.In each test there were seven samples for the dogs to smell.The dog was supposed to signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it.Two cocker spaniels（短腿长毛垂耳小猎犬）were correct fifty-six percent of the time. But the scientists reported an average success rate of forty-one percent.As a group,the study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty-two out of fifty-four times .That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone.The British Medical Journal published the research .In all,thirty-six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part.During training,all the dogs reportedly even identified a cancer in a person who had testedhealthy before the study.Doctors found a growth on the person's right kidney（肾）.Bladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer worldwide.The International Agency for Research on Cancer says this disease kills more than one hundred thousand people each year. Doctors say cigarette smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer.The person who had tested healthy before the study______.A: dropped outB: passed awayC: was found to have cancerD: was found to remain healthy

考题 共用题干 Food and CancerMedical experts have suspected for many years that there is a strong link between what a person eats and cancer. They say a new study provides the first evidence that vitamins could reduce a person's chance of developing cancer. A team of Chinese and American scientists did the study.They are from American National Cancer Institute and the Cancer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of the study. About thirty thousand people between the ages of 40 to 69 took part in the study.They were from the northern central Chinese area of Linxian.Most of them took vitamins and minerals everyday for five years.Linxian was chosen because the people there have an extremely high rate of cancer of stomach and esophagus.Researchers believe that fungus and molds in local foods may be partly responsible for the high cancer rate.Researchers divided those people into eight groups.Seven of the groups received different mixtures of vitamins and minerals daily.The amounts of the vitamins and minerals were 1 to 2 times greater than what American health officials say is needed.The eighth group received sugar pills that had no effect.Those who seemed to gain the most received a mixture of a form of vitamin A called β-carotene,vitamin E and the mineral selenium（硒）.The vitamin and mineral are believed to prevent damage to cells caused by cancer-causing substances.Researchers reported a 1 3 percent drop in cancer rates in those who took β-carotene,vitamin E and selenium.They also found a 10 percent drop in the number of deaths caused by strokes from bursting blood vessels.Scientists warn that it is too soon to know if the effect would be the same among people in other countries.They note that the people in Linxian eat foods that lack necessary vitamins and minerals.Chinese officials will continue to record the health records of the people in Linxian for many years.For now officials reportedly are considering using the results of the study.They want to find a way to improve the health of people in Linxian and other small towns in China. The rate of cancer of stomach and esophagus in Linxian is the highest in China.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

考题 共用题干 第一篇“Don' t Drink Alone" Gets New MeaningIn what may be bad news for bars and pubs,a European research group has found that people drinking alcohol outside of meals have a significantly higher risk of cancer in the mouth and neck than do those who drink with food.Luigino Dal Maso and his colleagues studied the drinking patterns of 1,500 patients from four cancer studies and another 3,500 adults who had never had cancer.After the researchers accounted for the amount of alcohol consumed,they found that individuals who downed a significant share of their alcohol outside of meals faced at least a 50 to 80 percent risk of cancer in the oral cavity（口腔）,pharynx（咽）,and esophagus（食管）,when compared with people who drank only at meals.Consuming alcohol without food also increased by at least 20 percent the likelihood of laryngeal cancer（喉癌）."Roughly 95 percent of cancers at these four sites traced to smoking or drinking by the study volunteers,"Dal Maso says.The discouraging news,his team reports,is that drinking with meals didn't eliminate cancer risk at any of the sites.For their new analysis,the European scientists divided people in the study into four groups,based on how many drinks they reported having in an average week.The lowest-intake group included people who averaged up to 20 drinks a week.The highest group reported downing at least 56 cups of alcohol weekly for an average of eight or more per day.Cancer risks for the mouth and neck sites rose steadily with consumption even for people who reported drinking only with meals.For instance,compared with people in the lowest group,participants who drank 21 to 34 alcohol cups a week at least doubled their cancer risk for all sites other than the larynx.If people in these consumption groups took some of those drinks outside meals,those in the higher consumption group at least quadrupled（四倍）their risk for oral cavity and esophageal cancers.People in the highest-consumption group who drank only with meals had 10 times the risk of oral cancer,7 times the risk of pharyngeal cancer,and 16 times the risk of esophageal cancer compared with those who averaged 20 or fewer drinks a week with meals.In contrast,laryngeal cancer risk in the high-in- take,with-meals-only group was only triple that in the low-intake consumers who drank with meals."Alcohol can inflame（使发炎）tissues. Over time,that inflammation can trigger cancer."Dal Maso says. He suspects that food reduced cancer risk either by partially covering digestive-tract（消化道）tissues or by taking alcohol off those tissues.He speculates that the reason laryngeal risks were dramatically lowerfor all study participants traces to the tissue's lower exposure to alcohol. Which of the four cancers has the lowest risk? A:Oral cancer.B:Laryngeal cancer.C:Pharyngeal cancerD:Esophageal cancer.
