参考答案

参考解析
解析：根据下文内容，这里应该是“一个被《肿瘤学年报》在网上公布的信件”。release“公 布”;suggest“建议”;accept“接受”;detect“探测”。因此选A。
根据下文内容，这里应该是“失去指纹会带来多大麻烦”，因此选A。
本句意思是“一位新加坡籍的医学博士描述了一位用卡培他滨治疗鼻咽癌的62岁老 人的经历”。因此选B。
diet“饮食”;exercise“锻炼”;recovery“康复”;drug“药品”，最符合题意。本句意思是 “经过这个药物三年的治疗后······”。因此选D。
本句意思是“他被美国海关人员扣留了四小时之久。”介词for在这里指“持续······时 间”。因此选B。
distinctive“独特的”，最符合题意，指人手指上特有的漩涡状的指纹。
side effect意为“副作用”。
however“但是”，表示转折；meanwhile“同时”;hence“因此”，后面可以直接跟名词而独 立成句；yet“仍然，还”。因此选C。
短文一直在讲“指纹消失”这个话题，故应选C。
report“报告”;discourage“使气馁”;caution“警告”，最符合题意；praise“赞美”。
note“票据，单子”，最符合题意。
本句意思是“但是他同样要有医师开的证明单——并且要随身携带”。因此只能选C, without。
本句需要选一个关系代词引导非限定性定语从句，并作定语从句的主语，因此只能选 C,which。
collect“收集”;copy“模仿”;associate“联系”，最符合题意；test“测验”。本句意思是“应 该考虑更新与该药物有关的副作用清单”。
本句是状语no where提前构成的部分倒装句，助动词does应放在主语前。

考题 共用题干 Creating a World without SmokingSmoking will be banned in all pubs,clubs and workplaces from next year after historic votes in the Commons last night.After last-minute appeals from health campaigners,MPsopted for a blanket prohibition which will start in summer 2007,ending months of argument over whether smokers should be barred in pubs and restaurants only.They voted to ban smoking in all pubs and clubs by 384 to 184,a surprisingly large majority of 200.Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes,such as prisons,care homes and hotels.Smokers lighting up in banned areas will face a fixed penality notice of ￡50 and spot fines of ￡200 will be introduced for failing to display no-smoking signs,with the possible penalty,if the issue goes to court,increasing to￡1,000.Carpline Flint,the Public Health Minister,also announced that the fine for failing to stop people smoking in banned areas would be increased to￡2,500一more than ten times the ￡200 originally proposed.The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes.Ministers will consult on raising it from 16 to 18.The Bill now goes to the Lords but will be through by the summer recess.Even a plan to allow smoking to continue in private clubs was thrown out as MPs on all sides were given permission to vote with their conscience rather than on a party line.Patricia Hewitt,the Health Secretary,said the Health Bill would ban smoking in "virtually every enclosed public place and workplace"in England and save thousands of lives a year.Smoke-free workplaces and public places"will become the norm".She said:"An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke."Peter Hollins,director-general of the British Heart Foundation,said:"The vote is a landmark victory for the public health of this country and will save the lives of many people." The Government will definitely impose a much heavier tax on tobacco.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

考题 共用题干 Brotherly LoveAdidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century.Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes,Muhammad Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach,Germany.Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sports but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said,"You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you'd walk around town with."So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletic shoes with spikes（钉）,produced on the Dasslers'kitchen table.On 1 st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games.But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened,but family members have sug- gested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Adolph left the company.His nick- name was Adi,and using this and the first three letters of the family name,Dassler,he founded Adidas.Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company,too.At first he wanted to call it Ruda,but eventually he called it Puma,after the wild cat.The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since.After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companieshave now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. A hip hop group,Run DMC,has even written a song called"My Adidas"and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok,another big sports shoe company.The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,but ever since it happened,over sixty years ago ,the town has been split into two.Even now,some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk toeach other.The brothers'father was a ball maker.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
