17、e 423. Which nationality are Youth Exchanges most popular with?A Spain B Italy.C Ireland.D France.BIn 1977, a University of Oxford statistician named Richard Peto pointed out a simple yet puzzling biological fact: we humans should have a lot more cancer than mice, but wedon t.Dr. Peto s argument was

18、 simple. Every time a cell divides, there s a small chance it will gain a mutation（ 突變 ） that speeds up its growth. Cells that accumulate （聚集 ） several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an animal is, the more cells it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells di

19、vide.We humans undergo （ 經(jīng)歷 ） about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as mice and thus should be far more likely to get cancer.A number of scientists have assumed that large, long-lived animals must have evolved extra cancer-fighting weapons. Otherwise, these species would die out.Dr. Joshua D Sch

20、iffman, an oncologist （ 腫瘤學家）at the Huntsman Cancer Institute,reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contrast, 11 percent to 25 percent of humans die of cancer.To understand the elephants defenses, the scientists investigated a gene

21、that is vital to preventing cancer called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNAthey contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 p

22、airs in elephants.To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer, they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with damaging radiation, chemicals and UV light.“ In all cases, instead of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply commi

23、tte d suicide ” said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.Patricia Muller, an oncologist at the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University ofLeicester, who was not involved in the studies, said the results, though convincing, didn

24、 t firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies don t actually cause cells to commit suicide.Instead, they may act as decoys （ 誘餌 ） for enzymes （ 酶 ） that destroy p53 proteins.Dr. Muller said it was especially important to understand precis

25、ely how elephants fight cancer before trying to copy their strategies with drugs for humans.24. What does the 2nd paragraph want to tell us?A. Human should be more likely to develop cancer than mice.B. Cell division can increase the speed of growth of mutations.C. The bigger an animal is, the smalle

26、r chance of getting cancer it has.D. Dr. Peto ' s argument was not simple.25. According to the passage, p53 is.A. a protein to prevent cancerB. a gene to defend against cancerC. a protein to destroy damaged cellsD. a gene to change cells26. What does Dr. Schiffman say about the extra copies of p

27、53 fighting cancer?A. They cause the cells to repair the genes.B. They stop cells from dividing further.C. They act as decoys for enzymes that destroy p53 proteins.D. They cause the cells to commit suicide.27. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Dr. Schiffman pointed out that we humans don ' t hav

28、e more cancer than mice.B. The cancer death rate of humans is five percent higher than that of elephants.C. The scientists found there are 20 pairs of p53 genes in elephants.D. Dr. Muller also took part in the studies.CBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence

29、on consumers, desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of t

30、he environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about

31、 one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company ' s environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive （ 主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:"Iunderstand this situation where survival is very important now. But

32、from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking we don' t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next yea

33、r will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions （ 排放）.Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay cl

34、early their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. "When companies are granted （授予）the standard, they can use a logo （ 標識）in all their marketing which makes i

35、t clear that they are working towards cutting emissions, " Mr. Morrison said.28. What' s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to enc

38、eirmarketingC. gain advantages by taking early actionD. attract more shoppers by storinggoodsDThis could be the perfect gift for the partner,who embarrasses you on the dance floor.Smart socks,which can teach to dance,may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.The socks have been developed as a

39、running tool to help runners improve their skills.Thanks to the socks,users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well.It means the user maximizes their performance,and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt.The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch th

40、e movements of your feet.They look,feel and can be washed like normal clothes.Sensors （傳感器）record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter（腳踝發(fā)射器）to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach“ application shows the information and can tellthe user what they are doing wrong,and help to improve skil

41、l in any taskwith feet.The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers."People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,"Dr Davide Vigano said.A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year.
