　　There are various reasons why cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily recognize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly diagnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modem living, including heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before.

　　We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood.

　　Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.

　　The researchers believe the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.

　　The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer.

　　The researchers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.

　　1. Who will fail cancer from the study of the researchers?

　　A. The young.

　　B. The middle age and the older.

　　C. The man.

　　D. The woman.

　　2. The underlined words "such a test" refer to________.

　　A. the test that shows which persons have cancer and which don’t

　　.

　　B. the test that may be able to show cancer very early in its development,.

　　C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when it is -small

　　D. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way

　　3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

　　A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ blood.

　　B. People living in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer.

　　C.X-raying is the best way to determined whether a person has cancer or not.

　　D. Cancers have nothing to do with a person’s habits and living conditions.

　　4. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. A simple way to cancer

　　B. Cancers can be cured

　　C. How to find cancer

　　D. Early discovery of cancer

　　1. B 细节题。从第一段中的cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years可以知道癌症尤其容易在中年人和老年人的身体上发生。

　　2. B 词义题。第二段中的a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small；test与后面的such a test指的是同样的一种方法，所以这里的test指的是上句的“用最简单的方法诊断早期的癌症”。

　　3. A 细节题。第三段中提到了cancer病人血液中的有些东西在健康人中没有，并且百分之九十以上的情况是这样的。B项与D项的意思与文章第一段中的certain habits and conditions of modern living including heavy smoking and pollution of the air may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions不符；C项内容与文章最后一段的意思不符。

　　4. D 主旨题。文章在开头就交代了写作的目的，有各种不同的理由说明了为什么癌症似乎在上升，而从后面的几段我们知道科学家们正在研究一种新的早期诊断cancer的方法。

　　An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome.

　　In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits,study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong kong.

　　In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

　　The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns,where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy

　　And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.

　　Ultinatel was Nancy points out,the level of sucicess is not meastured by how many people read a book,but by how many people are enriched by the process.or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

　　1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

　　A.To invite authors to guide readers.

　　B.To encourage people to read and share.

　　C.To involve people in communnity service.

　　D.To promote the friendship between cities.

　　2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the projict?

　　A.They had little interest in reading.

　　B.They were too busy to read a book.

　　C.They came from many different backgrounds

　　D.They lacked support from the locat government

　　3.According to the passage,where would the project be more easily carried out?

　　A.In large communities with little sense of unity

　　B.In large cities where libraries are far from home

　　C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population

　　D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached

　　4.The underlined words“shared a word”in Paragraph 5 probably mean

　　A.exchanged ideas with each other

　　B.discussed the meaning of a word

　　C.gamed life experience

　　D.used the same language

　　5.According to Nacy,the degree of students of the project is judged by

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

　　One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

　　The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

　　A. a terrible traffic accident happened to him

　　B. he had to live in a dark and silent world

　　C. he was struck by the lightning once more

　　2.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?

　　A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.

　　B. Driving a car.

　　C. Taking a walk with a stick.

　　D. Lying on the ground.

　　3.We can infer from the text that ________.

　　A. there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recovery

　　B. many doctors came because Robert was badly injured

　　C. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock

　　D. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery
