If you are a male and you are reading this,congratulations:you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. There are many reasons for this. Typically,men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly,men don"t go to the doctor. Gullotta,a professor from a famous medical university,says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two.For those over 45 ,it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker"s cough for a year. According to a recent survey,95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year,compared to 70% of men in the same age group. " A lot of men think they are absolutely strong," Gullotta says. They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think," Geez,if it could happen to him,________. " Then there is the ostrich approach, " Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, " says Dr. Ross Cartmill. " Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies," Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Cartmill says " regular check-ups for men would surely place stress on the public purse,but prevention is cheaper in the long run than having treat the diseases. " Besides,the ultimate cost is far greater:it is called premature death.

Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems. Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say. Increased carbon dioxide(CO2)in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth. "Predicting species" reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology," said the researches of several U.S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services. The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times. "Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance - for both leafing and flowering - that results from temperature increases," the study said. The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said. Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet. Scientists believe the world"s average temperature has risen by about 0.8? since 1900, and nearly 0.2? every ten years since 1979. So far, efforts to cut emissions(排放)of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2? this century - a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels. |
1. What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1? |
A. Plants" reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystem. B. The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists" expectation. C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns. D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather. |
2. We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that ______. |
A. plants" flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafing B. there are 1,634 plant species on the four continents C. scientists should improve the design of the experiments D. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change |
3. Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because _______. |
A. they can prove the climate change clearly B. they are very important in the food chains C. they play a leading role in reducing global warming D. they are growing and flowering much faster than before |
4. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world"s temperature? |
A. It has risen nearly 0.2? since 1979. B. Its change will lead to weather extremes. C. It is 0.8? higher in 1979 than that of 1990. D. It needs to be controlled within 2? in this century. |

Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe. Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of "moderate" (良好)quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure. The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health. |
1. The text mainly discusses the relationship between . |
A. heart problems and air quality B. heart problems and exercising C. heart problems and smoking D. heart problems and fatty food |
2. The underlined word "modest" in Paragraph 3 most probably means . |
A. relatively high B. extremely low C. relatively low D. extremely high |
3. What can we learn from the text? |
A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart. B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality. C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking, D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made. |
4. The author"s purpose of writing the text is most likely to . |
A. inform B. persuade C. describe D. entertain |

On a grassy plain in South Africa, thousands of miles from home,two pairs of zoo-bred South China tiger cubs-one-year-old Hope and Cathay and six-month-old Tiger Woods and Madonna are learning to hunt in the wild. The hope is that they will one day pass on their skills to their young, allowing the next generation to get back to wildlife reserves (保护区) in China. A survey shows that the tigers are in more danger of dying out than China"s most famous animal,the giant panda. Forty years ago, about 4,000 South China tigers lived in the wild. Today there are only about 30. An additional 64 live in 19 zoos in China,which are all descendants(后代) of six wild animals seized in 1956. The cubs were born in zoos in China and removed from their mothers when they were three months old. Their first home in South Africa was a one-acre camp where they stayed for a month. Their next home was a ten-acre area,where they lived for three months to help them gradually get used to life outside a cage. When the cubs first arrived in South Africa,they didn"t even want to leave their cages. It took weeks to get them to eat chicken, used as they were to being fed beef at the zoo in China where they were born. It took months of practice to hunt a live animal and then make the link between the kill and food. Now just a few months on, and living in a 150-acre camp,they have become remarkably skilled hunters. All four animals will finally return to zoos in China while the pioneering pairs" cubs will grow up completely wild. The aim is for the first rehabilitated tigers to go to reserves developed in China by 2008 ,when the Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. |
1. The tigers are sent to South Africa so that____. |
A. their young can live in the wild B. their young can have a better environment C. they can get used to wildlife reserves D. they can live a free life in the wild |

A. the tigers sent to South Africa B. the pioneering pairs C. the tigers" next generation D. the zoo-bred tigers |
4. Which of the following is TRUE? |
A. There are about 100 South China tigers at the zoos in China. B. South China tigers at the zoos in China usually eat chicken. C.In the hunting practice cubs didn"t eat what they hunted at first. D. The four tigers will appear in the Olympic Games. |
