　　【四川省成都七中2017诊考试A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increases the risk.

　　Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma(黑素瘤. They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.

　　Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence(发生率faster than any other cancer in the United States.

　　But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.

　　The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer—people with fair skin and freckles(雀斑, for example—are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.

　　The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.

　　39. The underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means

　　.

　　A. evidences

　　B. facts

　　C. faults

　　D. failures

　　40. People with fair skin and freckles

　　.

　　A. seldom use sunscreen

　　B. are more in danger of skin cancer

　　C. can be free from the harm of the sun

　　.

　　A. sunscreen users get skin cancer more often

　　B. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen

　　C. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers

　　D. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America

　　【2017陕西省西安市长安区第一中学一模】D

　　In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.

　　The furniture may often be “antique”, and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.

　　The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.

　　There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on, to another country or to death.

　　Although the British do not worship their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are restored until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.

　　57．Books found in second-hand book shops may _____.

　　A．be copies of the earliest printing

　　B．be on sale for the first time

　　C．never be worth very much

　　D．never be rare

　　8．Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because_____.

　　A．they are too expensive for average buyers

　　B．they remind you of the original owner

　　C．they are now neglected

　　D．they are sold for charity

　　9．Which of the following word can best take the place of the word “antique” in the second

　　paragraph?

　　A．invention

　　B．possession

　　C．material

　　D．relic

　　0．According to the passage, the British people_____.

　　A．do not respect old things because they are not fashionable

　　B．like to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do so

　　C．like to buy new things because they are fashionable

　　D．do not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable

　　【四川省资阳市模拟

　　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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound (白蚁堆).

　　Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building — the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex — uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn’t have to be imported.

　　The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents (通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.

　　During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.

　　This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings — days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.

　　The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh — far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.

　　47. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?

　　A. It was designed in a smaller size.

　　B. No air conditioners were fixed in.

　　C. Its heating system was less advanced.

　　D. It used rather different building materials.

　　48. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

　　A. Fresh air from outside.

　　B. Heat in the building.

　　C. Hollow space.

　　D. Baseboard vent.

　　49. Why wouldn’t a building like Eastgate work efficiently in New York?

　　A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.

　　B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.

　　C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.

　　D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.

　　50. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system ______.

　　A. allows a wide range of temperatures

　　B. functions well for most of the year

　　C. can recycle up to 30% of the air

　　D. works better in hot seasons
