【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
B
Our risk of cancer rises as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors(腫瘤)—or doesn't it?
While such careful tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it's important to consider the health benefits of screening and the costs of routine testing.
In many cases, screening can lead to additional operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients' remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a strong reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy(擁護(hù)) groups.
It's hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the remainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like a remaining life expectancy.
A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more right decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly.
It's not an easy guess to make, but one that makes sense for the whole patient. Dr. Otis Brawley said, "Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to protect themselves against medical disputes(糾紛). We need to think about the good use of health care and stop talking about the rationing(定量配給制) of health care."
That means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.
（1）Some researchers now think that routine cancer screening for the elderly .
A.adds too much to their medical bills
B.helps contribute to a long life
C.can prevent tumor growth
D.is not always necessary
（2）The underlined word "ingrained" in Paragraph 3 most probably means "".
A.important
B.reliable
C.precious
D.deep-rooted
（3）According to Dr. Otis Brawley, why do many doctors recommend routine screening for cancer?
A.Because they want to get more money from the health care system.
B.Because they want to perform their normal duties actively.
C.Because they want to avoid possible trouble.
D.Because they want their patients to suffer less.
（4）What does the author mainly argue for?
A.Screening tests must be effective and dependable.
B.Old people should be careful about routine cancer screening.
C.Screening increases the chances of detecting certain cancers earlier.
D.Whether old people should go for cancer screening should follow rules.

【答案】
（1）D
（2）D
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】定期癌檢查是否對(duì)上了年紀(jì)的人減少疾病的擴(kuò)散有用呢，研究人們就此展開了研討，上了年紀(jì)的人需要更多的健康管理而不僅僅是定期檢查。（1）D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第二段While such careful tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly.盡管總的來說，對(duì)癌癥這樣警覺是好事，但研究者們?cè)絹碓劫|(zhì)疑對(duì)老年人來說，所有的這些檢查是否必要。故選D。
（2）D考查此意猜測題。根據(jù)第三段提到But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a strong reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy(擁護(hù)) groups. 但是每個(gè)人必須檢查防癌的這個(gè)想法是如此根深蒂固，故選D項(xiàng)。
（3）C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中第一段Our risk of cancer rises as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors(腫瘤)—or doesn't it?隨著年齡增長，我們患癌的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)幾句增加。因此來年人應(yīng)該進(jìn)行常規(guī)檢查以防腫瘤是有道理的，故選C項(xiàng)。
（4）B 考查主旨大意題。定期癌檢查是否對(duì)上了年級(jí)的人減少疾病的擴(kuò)散有用呢，研究人們就此展開了研討。上了年紀(jì)的人需要更多的健康管理而不僅僅是定期檢查，故選B項(xiàng)。

【題目】Parents must focus on a healthy balanced lifestyle for their children instead of focusing on weight or dieting in order to prevent obesity(肥胖)and eating disorder among teenagers, say new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. The guidelines were developed in response to growing concern about teenagers’ use of unhealthy methods to lose weight.

Quick weight loss methods can cause medical consequences such as unstable heart rate. Also, teenagers who diet in ninth grade are three times more likely than their peers(同齡人)to be over-weight in 12th grade, the researchers said. “Scientific evidence increasingly shows that for teenagers, dieting is bad news,” said lead author Neville Golden, Professor at the Stanford University.

Parents should not encourage dieting, and should avoid “weight talk” such as commenting on their own weight or their children’s weight. Instead parents should help their children develop a healthy body image by encouraging them to eat a balanced diet and exercise for fitness, not weight loss, the researchers states. Further, they should also never tease teenagers about their weight. Negative comments about weight can also be detrimental to a teenager’s health.

“Mothers who talk about their own bodies and weights can encourage their kids to have body dissatisfaction, which we see in half of teenage girls and a quarter of boys,” Golden noted. Such dissatisfaction is associated with lower levels of physical activities and with use of laxatives(瀉藥)to control weight.

Families should eat regular meals together, the researchers suggested, adding that eating family meals is likely to prevent weight problems, said the paper published online in the journal Pediatrics. Eating too fast, eating when not hungry, always eating dessert, eating out often are not advisable when you watch your weight.

【1】What is likely to happened to teenagers if they go on a diet in ninth grade?

A. Their studies will suffer a lot

B. They’ll probably have unstable heart rate

C. They’re more likely to be overweight in 12th grade

D. They’ll probably have eating disorder problems

【2】What should parents do to prevent teenager obesity?

A. Urge teenagers to go on a strict diet

B. Comment on their own weight when eating

C. Express their dissatisfaction about their bodies

D. Encourage teenagers to eat healthily and exercise properly

【3】What does the underlined word “detrimental” in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. Strange B. Harmful

C. Necessary D. Deadly

【4】Which is considered helpful to prevent overweight?

A. Eating family meals more often

B. Eating only when hungry

C. Dinning out often

D. Eating too slow

【題目】There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, but it never actually tells the people when it's going to hit. It is always estimated but the result is never 100% accurate.

However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One was a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage of the two tragedies.

As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since Super-storm Sandy and it'll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.

In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one hundred missing.

I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally seriously. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters but, we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.

【1】What really concerns the author about the two natural disasters?

A. The death and the injured. B. The media report.

C. The government's responsibility. D. Their economic loss.

【2】Why did the author learn about the flood so late?

A. He didn’t care about the flood.

B. He felt nervous about the news.

C. The media didn’t cover it in time.

D. The flood frightened the author a lot.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Italy isn't good at predicting the natural disasters.

B. All natural disasters should be covered equally.

C. The world should be united into one instantly.

D. America should help Italy predict natural disasters.

【4】How is the text mainly developed?

A. By making a comparison. B. By following the time order.

C. By listing some examples. D. By analyzing the causes.

【題目】When it comes to the Internet, passwords which people often use are under fire. 【1】 Research has shown that passwords are not a very good way to protect sensitive information.

People would use some random characters, numbers and symbols. Furthermore, a unique password would be used for every site or application the user uses. Unfortunately, the more complex they become, the more people are likely to forget their passwords. The longer the passwords are, the more easily forgotten they are. 【2】

Google is trying to kill off the password on Android devices by introducing the Trust API, which does what simple passwords cannot. It gives developers a framework for securing their applications using a number of security systems and metrics (指標(biāo))on the device. A Trust Score will be generated based on the metrics the device gathers. 【3】

The Trust Score will be generated based on both metrics like your device location, face scanning, fingerprint and so on. Taken one at a time, these metrics arc not secure. But taken together, these metrics will help define the real "you".

【4】 This summer, Google will be running tests with some banks to see if Trust API meets their needs before rolling out to all developers later this year. It may take another year for apps and popular sites to start using the Trust API.

This is a pretty exciting change. Passwords have been around for long and although the security of systems has been improved, the convenience of systems hasn't been improved much. 【5】 Maybe that never-ending conflict between security and convenience will be able to take a break once the Trust system comes out.

A. Google appears to have the best of them.

B. Actually it's been under fire for a long time.

C. People tend to care more about its advantages.

D. Google has already been testing this on the real world.

E. Google has proved that the system is more convenient.

F. Therefore, they use the same password for each application.

G. It'll allow or refuse your application based on your trust score.

Check out any woman's wardrobe and you will be sure to find at least one pair of high heel shoes there. After all, which woman can 1 wearing something that makes her look taller and her legs 2 longer? Unfortunately, those high heel shoes women love so much 3 their name, and can end up doing more damage than you can imagine 4 the spine(脊柱) and lower back—if care is not taken.
Murlowska, a therapist(治療師 ), is 5 with the consequences of wearing high heels. A majority of 6 who arrive at Murlowska's office come to her with back and lower back problems. Very often the 7 are the result of not walking properly in high heels or choosing the 8 kind of footwear.
"I know women love wearing high heels but they can 9 extreme damage to the body," Murlowska says, "I recently had a patient who had a terrible fall while walking in high heels and twisted her 10. She did not think much of it at the time, but the next morning she 11 up to find her knee swollen and painful."
If a woman walks in heels 12 than five centimeters, several pressure points develop in various parts of the body which experience 13. Essentially, a woman wearing high heels is attempting to 14 her entire body on a very small area. This causes extreme stress on the muscles of the legs 15 increasing the chances of the ankle getting twisted. This can 16 damage to the knee ligaments(韌帶) and tendons(腱). High heels force the 17 into an unnatural down-turned position. Consequently, the rest of the body has to 18 itself in order to stay balanced. The lower part of the spine as well as the hip bone tilts(傾斜) forward while the 19spine and the neck tilts back in order to maintain balance."
Over a period of time, the hip bone also gets 20 because of the change in the center of gravity as a result of wearing high heels.

April 22nd every year marks the start of Earth Day, a day that is celebrated annually to raise awareness about our home planet and how we can save it from being damaged.
①Green-up your home
This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is, switch off(關(guān)閉) their lights. Conserve(節(jié)約) energy by switching off all power or electricity points whenever they are not in use. In addition, take out all the plugs from plug points even after switching them off.
②
Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. Other greener choices are carpooling, riding a bike or you can also walk if you want a healthier choice and if your workplace is not that far away from your home.
③Be a little dirty
No, we don't mean it 'that way'. We simply mean to say, don't take a bath. Yes, conservation of water is super essential. A day or two without a bath won't harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet. A daily shower isn't a matter of health; it's a matter of comfort.
The future of our planet is in your hands!
A. Started in the year 1970, Earth Day is now celebrated in more than 190 countries each year.
B. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.
C. Do something every day that will improve your surroundings to make the planet a better place to live in.
D. Traveling via public transport is the better choice.
E. Leave your cars at home.
F. Below, we have made a list of things you can do to celebrate Earth Day.
G. However, this is not something you should do just for a day or for only an hour.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中（A, B, C, D）, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
B
My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine---my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.
Initially(起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity and wherever that will take you.
This is my family's current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn't where my opportunity took me.
Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.
My parent never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way.Facebook has played a crucial(決定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.
（1）We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A.the writer's family are immigrants to America
B.the writer' family came to America for a better future
C.the writer' parents' didn't want their children to get a university degree
D.the writer' parents pushed their children away from each other
（2）The writer's parents found it hard to be used to American life because ________.
A.they were strangers in America
B.they suffered from a culture shock
C.the local people disl iked their family
D.different countries have different lives
（3）The writer didn't return to work in South Texas after graduation because ________.
A.he owed a lot of money while studying at college
B.he didn't graduate from university
C.he found his opportunity in Washington State
D.his father couldn't find him a job in South Texas
（4）What will probably be talked about in the paragraph after the last?
A.The writer's parents' life in Texas.
B.How the parents learn to use Facebook.
C.What the writer's brothers' and sisters' lives are like.
D.How the writer's family communicate through Facebook.
