第三篇 Global Cancer Rates to Rise by 50％by 2020
The number of new cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase by 50％but the year
2020’ But a new report suggests that as many as a third of new cancers could be avoided by
adopting healthier lifestyles and through public health action．
The World Cancer Report，released by the，International Agency for Research on Cancer,
shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing countries as
well as rich ones．
Overall．cancer was responsible for 12％of all deaths in 2000. But in many countries more
than a quarter Of all deaths are caused by cancer．
The report shows that 10 million new cancers were diagnosed globally in 2000．a(chǎn)nd that
number is expected to rise to 1 5 million by 2020．Researchers say most of that increase will
mainly be due to steadily aging populations in both developed and developing countries and
current trends in smoking and other unhealthy habits．
“Cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in developing countries for the first
time，matching its effect in industrialized(工業(yè)化的)countries，”said researcher Paul Kleihues，
MD．director of IARC。in a news release．“Once considered a‘Western’disease，the Report
highlights that more than 50 percent of the world’s cancer burden．in terms of both numbers of
cases and deaths．a(chǎn)lready Occurs in developing countries．”
The risk of being diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is double that in
less-developed ones．However, the risk of dying from cancer is much higher in developing
countries，where 80%of cancer patients already have late-stage incurable tumors(腫瘤)at the
time of diagnosis．
Researchers say cancer rates have traditionally been higher in developed countries due to
greater exposure to tobacco，occupational carcinogens(致癌物)，and an unhealthy Western diet
and lifestyle．As less—developed countries become industrialized and more prosperous，they tend
to adopt the high·fat diet and low physical activity levels typically seen in the West，which
increase cancer rates．
41 The report says that steps could be taken to reduce about
A 50% of new cancers．
B 33％ of new cancers．
C 12％ of new cancers．
D 80％ of new cancers．
42 Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
A There were 1 0 million cancer patients worldwide in 2000．
B Generally，cancer accounted for 12％of all deaths in 2000．
C Cancer is the cause of over 25％of all deaths in many countries．
D It is expected that global cancer rates will go up by 50％by 2020
43 According to Paul Kleihues，Cancer was once regarded as
A all incurable disease．
B a mysterious disease．
C a“Western”disease．
D a world disease．
44 The risk of dying from cancer in developed countries is
A double that in developing countries．
B much higher than that in developing countries．
C the same as that in developing countries．
D much lower than that in developing countries．
45 All the following factors may increase cancer rates EXCEPT
A occupational carcinogens．
B lack of access to tobacco．
C unhealthy habits．
D aging populations．

The Story of Lani
Five-year-old Lani still takes seven medicines with her breakfast every morning?！癝he’S
very good about it ”says her father David．Lani is alive today because of her father David，in
more than one way；when she was one year old she received part of her father’s liver in a
liver—transplant operation．Lani was born with a liver illness (46) Doctors advised that a transplant was the only way in which she would live．
The operation lasted 12 hours and needed two teams，one for the father and one for the
daughter (47)In these cases，the donor’s liver grows to normal size in about eight
weeks。and t11e child’s liver becomes smaller．
Lani spent three weeks in hospital after the operation．Because the receiver’s body tries to
reject the new organ，the patient has to be given special drugs (48)
Although David left hospital after 10 days，he didn’t return to work until after three months．
In order to reach the liver, the doctors have to cut through the stomach wall，which is strong and
full of muscle．It therefore takes a long time to recover after this operation． (49)
So far，only 16 of these liver—transplant operations have been carried out in Britain．
(50)Doctors say,“If possible，we prefer to take a liver from a dead don not, usually a
parent．”
Lani still has to look after her health，and she gets more tired than other children of the
same age，but doctors hope that she will continue to get stronger and stronger．
A She had one operation when she was six weeks old，which was not successful．
B While these drugs are given，it is important that the patient does not catch any illness，not
even a cold．
C In this operation a piece of liver, weighing about 250--300 grams，was removed from the
father and transplanted into the daughter．
D David quickly recovered from the operation．
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan．
F David was finally able to ride his bike again after about a year．
