36、 New US Plan for Disease Prevention Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health，Health and Human SeⅣices Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a$15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease，cancer and diabetes(糖 尿病)。 The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases--the leading causes of death in the United States—and outlines ways that people can prevent them，including better diet and increased exercise． “In the United States today，7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness． disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases，”the Health and Human Services department said in a statement． The causes are often behavioral—smoking，poor eating habits and a lack of exercise． “I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future．”Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative． “Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices．” Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than$351 billion in 2003． “These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable，yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for US to lead healthier，longer lives，”he said． The$15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention，pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more． Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes，and prevent cancer and strokes． The money will also go to community organizations，clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they Can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening． The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening，including Pap tests(巴氏試驗)for cervical(子宮頸的)cancer mammograms(*X線照片)for breast cancer，colonoscopies(結(jié)腸鏡檢查)，and prostate(前列腺的)checks． If such cancers were all caught by early screening．me group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent． 根據(jù)以上內(nèi)容，回答36-50題。 Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US?

41、 Eat More，Weigh Less，Live Longer Clever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals． Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston，US，and his colleagues have been able to extend the lifespan(壽命)of mice by l8 per cent by blocking the rodent’s(嚙齒動物) increase of fat in specific cells．This suggests that thinness———and hot necessarily diet——— promotes long life in“calorie(熱量卡)restricted”animals． “It’s very cool work．”says aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California，San Francisco．“These mice eat all they want，lose weight and live longer．It’s like heaven．” Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents．Whether this works in humans is still unknown，partly because few people are willing to submit to such a strict diet． But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life．One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells．But Kahn’s team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin． To find out，they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin(胰島素)receptor(受體) gene in lab mice—but only in their fat cells．“Since insulin is needed to help fat cells store fat。 these animals were protected against becoming fat，”explains Kahn． This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects．By three months of age， Kahn，those modified mice had up to 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice， despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight．In addition，their lifespan increased．The average control mouse lived 753 days，while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days．After three years，all the control mice had died，but one—quarter of the modified rodents were still alive． “That they get these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial，”says Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，who studies calorie restriction and aging．But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible for increased lifespan in calorie restricted animals．“It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life，”he points out，“and that would be very interesting．” 根據(jù)以上內(nèi)容，回答41-55題。 Ronald Kahn and his colleagues can make mice live longer by_____． A．offering them less food B．giving them a balanced diet C．disrupting the specific genes in their fat cells D．preventing them growing larger
42、 According to the passage．we do not know whether humans will benefit from taking in fewer calories partly because______． A．humans．worms and rodents are different B．most people are not willing to be put on a strict diet C．the effect is not known D．genetic changes in tissues can not be performed on humans
43、 What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? A．People like to lose weight，but they do not like to eat less． B．People want to go to heaven，but they do not want to die． C．Mice will go to heaven if they lose weight． D．Mice enjoy losing weight．
44、 The average modified mouse lived______． A．3 years B．753 days C．More than 3 years D．887 days
45、 What can be inferred from the passage about the route to long life? A．It remains to be studied． B．it has already been discovered． C．Eating more leads to long life． D．Eating less leads to long life。 第5部分：補全短文(第46～50題，每題2分，共10分) 下面的短文有5處空白，短文后有6個句子，其中5個取自短文，請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容將其分別放回原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章面貌。 46、 The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health．Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases．In fact，many people who smoke get lung cancer However，Edward Gilson has lung cancer，and he has never smoked cigarettes．He lives with his wife，Evelyn，who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage． __________ (46) No one knows for sure why Mr．Gilson has lung cancer．Nevertheless，doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people’s cigarettes． __________ (47)The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53，000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke． The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals．In the past．scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker’s health． __________ (48)They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic(有毒的)chemicals in their bodies．As a matter of fact，almost all of US breathe tobacco smoke at times．whether we realize it or not．For example，we cannot avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants，hotels and other public places．Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas，smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted．It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke．__________ (49) Research shows that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as are children of nonsmokers．The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke． People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke． __________ (50) A．Recently，though，scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers． B．The Gilsons have been married for 35 years． C．This smoke is called secondhand smoke． D．However，secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people，old or young． E．As a result．they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places． F．In the United States．nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker 根據(jù)以上內(nèi)容，回答46-50題。 __________.

36、 New US Plan for Disease Prevention Urging Americans to take responsibility for their health，Health and Human SeⅣices Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a$15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease，cancer and diabetes(糖 尿病)。 The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases--the leading causes of death in the United States—and outlines ways that people can prevent them，including better diet and increased exercise． “In the United States today，7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness． disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases，”the Health and Human Services department said in a statement． The causes are often behavioral—smoking，poor eating habits and a lack of exercise． “I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future．”Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative． “Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices．” Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than$351 billion in 2003． “These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable，yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for US to lead healthier，longer lives，”he said． The$15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention，pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more． Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes，and prevent cancer and strokes． The money will also go to community organizations，clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they Can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening． The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening，including Pap tests(巴氏試驗)for cervical(子宮頸的)cancer mammograms(*X線照片)for breast cancer，colonoscopies(結(jié)腸鏡檢查)，and prostate(前列腺的)checks． If such cancers were all caught by early screening．me group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent． 根據(jù)以上內(nèi)容，回答36-50題。 Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US?

41、 Eat More，Weigh Less，Live Longer Clever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals． Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston，US，and his colleagues have been able to extend the lifespan(壽命)of mice by l8 per cent by blocking the rodent’s(嚙齒動物) increase of fat in specific cells．This suggests that thinness———and hot necessarily diet——— promotes long life in“calorie(熱量卡)restricted”animals． “It’s very cool work．”says aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California，San Francisco．“These mice eat all they want，lose weight and live longer．It’s like heaven．” Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents．Whether this works in humans is still unknown，partly because few people are willing to submit to such a strict diet． But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life．One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells．But Kahn’s team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin． To find out，they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin(胰島素)receptor(受體) gene in lab mice—but only in their fat cells．“Since insulin is needed to help fat cells store fat。 these animals were protected against becoming fat，”explains Kahn． This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects．By three months of age， Kahn，those modified mice had up to 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice， despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight．In addition，their lifespan increased．The average control mouse lived 753 days，while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days．After three years，all the control mice had died，but one—quarter of the modified rodents were still alive． “That they get these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial，”says Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，who studies calorie restriction and aging．But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible for increased lifespan in calorie restricted animals．“It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life，”he points out，“and that would be very interesting．” 根據(jù)以上內(nèi)容，回答41-55題。 Ronald Kahn and his colleagues can make mice live longer by_____． A．offering them less food B．giving them a balanced diet C．disrupting the specific genes in their fat cells D．preventing them growing larger
