　　.阅读理解

　　Nuclear radiation from power plant leaks and bomb tests resulted in millions fewer baby girls born worldwide, according to a new study.

　　Scientists noted these types of atmospheric blasts rather than on­the­ground incidents like Chernobyl(切尔诺贝利), affected birth gender across the globe.

　　Scientists at Helmholtz Zentrum München, Germany, analysed population data from 1975 to 2007 for the U．S. and 39 European countries.

　　There was an increase in the number of baby boys relative to girls in all of the countries from 1964 to 1975. This was the case in many Eastern European countries for several years after 1986.

　　Scientists are putting the first spike down to the atomic bomb tests of the 1960s and 1970s where radioactive atoms were blasted into the atmosphere. Air currents caught these atoms and then distributed them around the world.

　　They think the second spike is due to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in which the reactor exploded in Ukraine(乌克兰)．

　　The effects of Chernobyl were felt locally and no effect was seen in the U．S., probably because it was too far from the disaster to have an effect.

　　“The closer the country was to Chernobyl, the stronger the effect，” said study co­author Hagen Scherb, a biostatistician(生物统计学家)at the German Research Center for Environmental Health in Munich.

　　More males were born relative to females in Belarus—Ukraine’s neighbour－than in France.

　　The study is based largely on Cold War­era statistics, but the findings are highly relevant to how gender could be affected after future nuclear disasters.

　　And in the wake of Japans Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, experts are predicting another baby boy boom could come, especially on the U．S. West Coast.

　　Previous radiation experiments on animals may give a clue for the increase in male births. Tests showed that radiation caused damage to the X chromosome (染色体) in sperm, Dr. Scherb said.

　　A human sperm cell contains either an X or Y chromosome, while an egg only has an X chromosome. An XY combination will become a boy, while an XX combination will be a girl.

　　1. How many nuclear radiation accidents are mentioned in the passage?

　　A. 1.

　　B. 2.

　　C. 3.

　　D. 4.

　　2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. The on­the­ground incidents like Chernobyl, affected birth gender across the globe.

　　B. There was an increase in the number of baby boys in Eastern European countries for several years after 1986.

　　C. The Japan’s nuclear accident will not affect the birth gender of the US because of the long distance.

　　D. Where radioactive material has spread, women can’t give birth to girls.

　　3. How does radiation affect birth gender?

　　A. It damages the Y chromosome in sperm.

　　B. It stops the X chromosome from being produced.

　　C. It kills baby girls before they are born.

　　D. It damages the X chromosome in sperm.

　　4. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Nuclear radiation leads to millions of fewer baby girls being born.

　　B. Nuclear radiation has bad effects upon people’s health.

　　C. Worries about radiation risks.

　　D. Nuclear age helps reduce the world population.

　　答案：

　　根据一项新研究，核辐射会对精子的X染色体造成损害，核电站核泄漏事故和炸弹试验释放的放射性物质导致全世界女婴出生数量减少了数百万。

　　1. B　细节理解题。文章提到了“the 1986 Chernobyl disaster”和“Japans Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident”两起核辐射事故，故选B。

　　2. B　正误判断题。由第四段可知B项正确。由第二段可知大气中发生的事故才会在全球范围内影响出生婴儿的性别，故A项错误；由倒数第三段可知日本核电站发生的事故会影响到美国，故C项错误；核辐射只会相对地减少女婴的出生数量，故D项错误。

　　3. D　细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知“核辐射会对精子的X染色体造成损害”，故D项正确。

　　4. A　主旨大意题。文章开篇点题，向我们说明了文章的主要内容：根据一项新研究，核电站核泄漏事故和炸弹试验释放的放射性物质导致全世界女婴出生数量减少了数百万。由此可见A项最能概括全文。
