14.Two Newcastle scientists are setting themselves to open our eyes to the medical truth by claiming that natural sunlight may help prevent skin cancer.
Dr.Ron Laura,professor of health education at Newcastle University,and senior chemist Mr.John Ashton said their research points to a complete (51)B of the accepted scientific theory.They said that sunscreen creams may help cause skin cancer,the artificial indoor light could be (52)C and that a range of drugs in common use could also (53)A melanoma--a type of cancer that appears as a dark spot on the skin.
The research is likely to be unwelcome in some traditional medical research circles.It is based on a new (54)D that our bodies are protected from skin cancer by the regulation of a group of complex vitamins (Vitamin D) and immune process.
The sunscreens,artificial light and drugs could all unfavorably affect the production of these vitamins and increase the skin's (55)A to the sun.But Dr.Laura said natural sunlight passing through the eyes helped(56)D the production of cancer protection Vitamin D.
He said recent statistics from the United States indicated that people who worked indoors all day in artificial light were more(57)A melanomas than those who worked outdoors.Indoor workers should try to have at least one hour of (58)C to direct sunlight every day,(59)B in the early morning and late afternoon when ultraviolet intensively was lower,Dr.Laura said.
Sunscreens,long (60)C as essential for beach lovers,could also (61)C the production of Vitamin D.Laura and Ashton said sunscreens give people a (62)A sense of security in thinking they are (63)B from the sun's rays.
Dr.Laura said more statistics(64)C their claim had come to light since the first article was published.He believes his research findings are too important to be (65)A to the scientific world.

分析 兩位科學(xué)家研究發(fā)現(xiàn)自然的陽光有助于預(yù)防皮膚癌,促進(jìn)維他命D的合成,而涂防曬霜來預(yù)防紫外線也是錯誤的做法.這一醫(yī)學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)正在引起人們關(guān)注.

解答 51.B.考查名詞辨析.結(jié)合后句,說涂防曬霜會導(dǎo)致皮膚癌.而之前我們涂霜是為了防止被曬傷,但現(xiàn)在證明陽光會防止皮膚癌,因此這項研究結(jié)果是顛覆我們以往的理論知識.A.contribution貢獻(xiàn) B.reversal逆轉(zhuǎn) C.combination聯(lián)合 D.recognition識別.故選B.
52.C.本題不難,這幾句都是再說使用一些東西會帶來不好影響. 故選C.
53.A.本題和上題一樣,都是在講容易致癌的東西.melanoma雖然不認(rèn)識,但是根據(jù)后句的解釋看得出選A,是促進(jìn)這種惡性循環(huán).故選A.
54.D.名詞辨析.句意,兩位科學(xué)家的說法一般都是基于一種新的理論研究,并配有實驗觀察結(jié)果.A.a(chǎn)ssumption 假定 B.law 法律  C.concept 概念 D.theory理論.故選D.
55.A.名詞辨析.本題是說前面三個主語會大大影響維他命D的產(chǎn)生,使得皮膚難以抵御風(fēng)吹日曬,就變得對陽光非常敏感.A.sensitivity 敏感 B.resistance 堅持 C.a(chǎn)daptation 改造 D.response 回復(fù).故選A.
56.D.動詞辨析.句意說的是自然光線能有效促進(jìn)維他命D的生成.A.monitor 監(jiān)視 B.measure 措施 C.slow 減緩 D.stimulate 促進(jìn).故選D.
57.A.詞組辨析.句意,在室內(nèi)工作受人工光線照射的人更容易得黑素瘤.A.subject to 使遭受 B.unrelated to 與…無關(guān) C.free of 無…的 D.dependent on 依賴依靠.故選A.
58.C.動詞辨析.句意,室內(nèi)工作者要花點時間暴露在陽光下比較好.A.exercise 鍛煉 B.reveal 顯示 C.exposure 暴露 D.experience 經(jīng)驗.故選C.
59.B.副詞辨析.本題的preferably指的是"更好的"意思.說最好是在清晨和傍晚與外界接觸,因為這時紫外線強度低.故選B.
60.C.動詞辨析.本題結(jié)合后句,說沙灘愛好者認(rèn)為抹防曬霜很重要,看得出他們是主動接納防曬霜.A.received 接受 B.popular 流行 C.a(chǎn)ccepted 接受 D.identified 識別.故選C.
61.C.動詞辨析.本題不難.呼應(yīng)前文便可知道是prevent.故選C.
62.A.句意,防曬霜帶給人們的安全感自然是錯誤的.A.false 錯誤的 B.strong 強壯的C.true 正確的 D.sharp 鋒利的.故選A.
63.B.動詞辨析.人們一直都誤以為涂防曬霜可以保護皮膚不受太陽光侵害.A.separated 分離 B.protected 保護C.guarded 守衛(wèi) D.prohibited 禁止.故選B.
64.C.本題看到Laura對自己的研究成果很自信,對他而言,許多數(shù)據(jù)自然是支持他的觀點.back 有支持的意思,故選C.
65.A.本題可用排除法來做.A.limited 限制 B.emphasized 強調(diào) C.a(chǎn)cknowledged 公認(rèn) D.explained 解釋.只有A選項"他的成果太重要了,不會被局限在科學(xué)界"較符合文意.故選A.

點評 本篇完型填空略有難度.主要體現(xiàn)在選項中的單詞以及短語上,考生有可能遇到不熟悉的單詞而選不出答案.這就要求考生平時多進(jìn)行知識儲備來應(yīng)對英語閱讀.

4.Willy,a merchant,returned home to his own country from a faraway continent,where he had succeeded to make a small fortune by hard work.He found on arriving at the port that all his relatives were having a large party.
He was in such a happy mood and in the joy of the moment,he did not even bother changing his grey flannel(法蘭絨)suit which had become a little worn during the trip home.
When he entered the brilliantly lit room,his relatives and friends gave him a rather cold welcome because they had noticed his modest suit and immediately imagined that he had come back a poor man.
A young man who happened to be accompanying him was quite irritated at this and said to Willy,"What a wonderful reception you have received from these people.They have not even the intention of shaking your hand after all these years that you have been away from home."
"Just wait and see!"whispered Willy,"They will soon change their looks!"Saying this he slipped a precious ring on his finger.All of a sudden the faces of all those present lit up and immediately Willy was surrounded by so many people that he didn't know what to do.A man shook his hand,a cousin threw his arms around him,and he had so many invitations from the people present that he thought that he would be unable to make any other appointments for several years.
"Has this beautiful,precious ring of yours the power of enchanting(施魔法)people?"asked the young man.
"Oh,no!"replied Willy,"They see in this glittering diamond ring something that makes them think I am rich,and,unfortunately,they place wealth above everything else."
"What blind people!"exclaimed the young man."It is not the ring that has drawn them to you but their desire for riches.Is it possible to appreciate more a piece of yellow metal surrounded by little stones than the goodness of my Lord?…And indeed how foolish are people who place their trust in riches rather than in virtues(美德)!"

65.In what way did Willy go to attend the party held by his relatives and friendsB?

5.Developing self confidence is one of the most important things you can do to create a more powerful,successful life.It influences all aspects of our lives,from relationships to career.But the journey is long.That's why it's so important to have a long term goal,but to break it up into small manageable parts.(71)B    Here are 5 quick tips to make this a confident week:
    1.Sit up!
Set your alarm to go off 3 times throughout the day to check in with your posture (姿勢). Body language is one of the quickest ways to gain instant confidence.

4.Involve yourself in a social activity that you normally would
(74)FPutting yourself out in the world forces you to face situations and meet people.In this way you can slowly build your confidence so you can find your place in it.This is one of the most rewarding things you can do.
5.Knowledge is power.
You have to keep feeding your mind.(75)ASo whether it's a new language,a new skill,or a new hobby-sign up for something this week that will broaden your knowledge,skill level and happiness.Learning something you can be proud of and providing you happiness is an immediate confidence builder and the recipe for success.
   
A.Once you've learned something,no one can ever take it away.
B.Small but achievable victories will have you well on your way.
C.Make a point to get some exercise during the day.
D.Have lunch in the office.
E.Get to know someone new.
