　　A

　　Health experts are calling for action to expand cancer care and control in the developing world.A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world.But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries.

　　Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer aggressively(极力地),saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.

　　Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide.Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.

　　They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS,tuberculosis and malaria combined.But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.

　　Felicia Knaul from the Harvard Medical School was one of the authors of the paper.She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer.She received treatment there and her experience showed the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.

　　Felicia Knaul said,“And we are seeing how this is attacking young women.It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women 30 to 44.All over the developing world,it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women.I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than what we are doing about it.”

　　Professor Knaul met community health workers during her work in developing countries.They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from cervical cancer(宫颈癌).They were able to persuade women to get tested and to get vaccinated against a virus that can cause it.

　　The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly.For example,patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs that are off-patent,which means the drugs are no longer legally protected against being copied.

　　1.What do we know from Paragraph 2?

　　A.The number of HIV/AIDS cases is declining.

　　B.Experts suggest strengthening cancer treatment.

　　C.HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.

　　D.The international community takes no action on cancer.

　　A.many Mexican women had breast cancer

　　B.the poor couldn’t afford any medical care

　　C.there was not enough medicine for cancer

　　D.patients are differently treated based on finance

　　3.From Felicia Knaul’s remarks we can see that 　. 

　　A.breast cancer is a great threat to young women

　　B.breast cancer is the number one killer in Mexico

　　C.effective treatment for cancer is still not available

　　D.cancer is the number one killer in developing countries

　　4.What role did community health workers play in developing countries?

　　A.They helped community to get rid of a fatal virus.

　　B.They asked women to have medical tests regularly.

　　C.They convinced women to get tested and vaccinated.

　　D.They managed to provide medical care for patients.

　　Surveys suggest the Danes are the happiest people in the world,and the reason for this is trust.

　　From Erasmus University’s World Database of Happiness to a World Values Survey from the University of Michigan in late June,the 5.5 million people of the Scandinavian state have ranked top in most happiness surveys for the last 20 years.

　　As economists search for better ways to measure well-being than pure wealth,they say the Danes have a tradition of equality and trust that is not seen in many other places.They are also among the world’s most financially successful people.

　　However,Denmark’s economy has not escaped the current market problems.Its stock exchange is down around 37 percent so far this year.

　　Soren Christiansen,32,enjoys relaxing with his girlfriend in their rented apartment in one of Copenhagen’s newly built housing developments.He said trust creates a safer everyday life for him.

　　“It makes me happy to live in a country where you can walk safely around and you do not have to be afraid,”he said.

　　Danish diplomat(外交官) Klavs Holm said the Danes are comfortable with simple pleasures like swimming,in the harbor on a summer’s day,which could be thought too risky elsewhere.“I see women riding bikes with their kids on the back,through the rain.They look happy.The Danes are devoted to biking and to fighting global warming.These values are more important to the Danes than most other people,”he said.

　　The Danish Island of Samso,where people have achieved self-sufficiency(自足)in renewable power,is one example of the community programs that Denmark has to offer.

　　“Danish trust is connected with their strong economy,”said Economist Justina Fischer.“If you trust someone in the market you have lower transaction(交易)costs.You do not even need a contract(合同)because you trust his or her words.”

　　5.What might be the best title for the text?

　　A.Denmark—the world’s most financially successful country

　　B.Denmark—a model for solving current market problems

　　C.Trust makes the Danes the happiest in the world

　　D.Their strong economy makes Danes trust each other

　　6.The example of Soren Christiansen shows that 　. 

　　A.people in Denmark needn’t worry about renting apartments

　　B.he feels safe because Denmark is a trusting society

　　C.Copenhagen’s housing is well developed

　　D.it’s not safe to walk around in other countries

　　7.The text tells us that 　. 

　　A.the best way to measure happiness is by wealth

　　B.the Danish people have enough renewable power

　　C.the Danish people don’t need to have a contract when they do business

　　D.the Danish tradition of trust contributes to its strong economy

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　As we all know,oil is not recyclable and can pollute the environment.It’s necessary to develop cleaner fuels to run America’s cars,trucks and buses.

　　For more than a century,America has relied almost entirely on a single fuel to move goods and people around the country:oil.Our transportation sector consumes 70% of the oil and produces one-third of our global warming pollution.　1　 

　　We import about half our oil,much of it from unstable parts of the world,or from countries like Canada that are producing dirtier forms of oil.　2　 Increasing domestic oil production,no matter how much or where we drill,would yield a drop in the barrel compared to our consumption. 

　　Running our cars and trucks on cleaner fuels,including biofuels and electricity,is a critical part of developing a new energy economy.　3　The key to our success is to promote the development of the best biofuels—the ones that reduce global warming pollution and protect the environment.These biofuels might be made,for example,from agricultural waste or a non-food,native plant like switchgrass that is grown on unproductive land. 

　　　4　One way to help move them out of the lab and into our gas tanks is by ending nearly 16 billion dollars in annual subsidies for fossil fuels and investing in advanced biofuels instead,with a goal of getting 1 billion gallons of the best fuel to the pumps by 2017. 

　　Electricity is another important low-carbon fuel that can power part of our vehicle fleet and help protect consumers from rising gas price.　5　And as our electrical grid becomes greener,plug-in vehicles will get greener,too. 

　　A.Even on today’s electric grid,a car that runs on electricity creates less global warming pollution than a conventional car.

　　B.Extracting these fuels may harm ancient forests and bird habitats,and put water supplies at risk.

　　C.This habit has become a dangerous addiction that threatens our national security,our climate and our economic prosperity.

　　D.Using energy from renewable sources will put America on the path to a cleaner environment,energy independence,and a stronger economy.

　　E.Our oil dependence leaves us vulnerable to rising prices.

　　F.Advanced biofuels like these,however,have yet to be produced on a large scale.

　　G.Biofuels,made from plant materials instead of petroleum,can be a clean,renewable energy resource if they’re grown right.

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　With the development of industry,air pollution is getting more and more serious.In Beijing,many people suffer 1.　different kinds of illnesses because of air pollution. 

　　Air pollution is caused by the 2.　(follow) reasons:about half of the problem is caused by vehicles.There are more and more cars,buses on the roads,and they give off 3.　(poison) gases.25% of air pollution is caused by factories.4.　 factor is the smokers.Smoking not only does harm to their health 5.　 to that of other people.6.　these,about 10% of air pollution is caused by other reasons. 

　　We should take some 7.　 to fight against pollution.New fuel can be used to take 8.　 place of gas.We can plant more trees.If everybody realises the 9.　(important) of environment and does something to stop pollution,the problem 10.　(solve). 

　　Ⅰ.【语篇导读】健康专家呼吁国际社会加强对发展中国家的癌症治疗。一份医学报告称,癌症是造成发展中国家人口死亡和残障的主要原因。

　　1.B　推理判断题。根据文章的第二段可知,来自哈佛大学和其他机构的专家敦促国际社会积极地应对癌症,就像非洲抗击HIV或艾滋病的力度一样。由此可见,本段的大意是专家建议加强对癌症的治疗。故选B项。

　　2.D　细节理解题。根据第五段的最后一句可知,Felicia Knaul在墨西哥治疗癌症期间,她发现穷人和富人在治疗乳腺癌时存在很大区别。

　　3.A　推理判断题。根据第六段Felicia Knaul说的话可知,乳腺癌正在袭击年轻妇女。在墨西哥,乳腺癌是30岁到44岁年龄段妇女的第二大杀手。在发展中国家,乳腺癌是与癌症相关的疾病中对年轻女性最有杀伤力的疾病。

　　4.C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知,在发展中国家,社区医疗工作者说服妇女去体检和打疫苗,他们的工作可以减少宫颈癌患者的死亡人数。

　　【语篇导读】研究发现,丹麦人是近20年来世界上最幸福的人。

　　5.C　主旨大意题。第一段就概括了全文,根据荷兰Erasmus大学和美国密西根大学的调查:因为信任,丹麦人是最近20年来世界上最幸福的人。

　　6.B　细节理解题。Soren Christiansen的例子是论据之一,根据第五段“...trust creates a safer everyday life for him”可知。

　　7.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段可以概括得出。A项根据第三段第一句可排除。根据倒数第二段可知是The Danish Island of Samso has enough renewable power而不是所有丹麦人,排除B项。最后一段只是泛泛而言,所以不能说在丹麦都是这样,所以C项错误。

　　.1.C　2.E　3.G　4.F　5.A

　　.1.from　2.following　3.poisonous　4.Another　5.but(also)

　　6.Besides　7.measures　8.the　9.importance　10.will be solved
