22、Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．
Wide uptake of cholesterol—busting statin drugs(降胆固醇药)，healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的)problems．
However，heart disease remains Britain’s biggest killer．
The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．
The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women．
Some nations-including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova—see more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population．
Overall，heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．
But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said：‘Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 per cent among men．’

23、A creative mom Danielle Lindemann is a mother to a soon-to-be 3-year-old daughter. When she received the Disney-brand book What Is A Princess? as a gift for her daughter, Lindemann thought the messages seemed a little shallow.
Lindemann’s efforts included changing “A princess is kind” to “A princess is kind of a badass” and completing the sentence “A princess likes to dress up”. “I just want my daughter to see that she can be anything she wants,” the mom explained, “She can also speak her own mind and be a doctor or a senator if she wants.”
After Lindemann made the changes, she thought her daughter might be a bit confused, but the daughter actually just rolled with it. Lindemann did not intend for many people to see her edits. She just found it amusing. Though she didn’t imagine having such a wide audience, Lindemann says she thinks it’s great if her edits make people smile or even think a bit differently about gender models.
Further, Lindemann added, “there is absolutely nothing wrong with girls (or boys!) wanting to put on something sparkly and feel pretty. But when the ruling idea is that girls — and women — are judged mainly on their physical appearance in a way that boys and men are not, I think it’s important to model some other values for these girls as well.”
As a parent, she believes it’s important to show girls that their worth does not lie only in their physical appearance and that their other qualities are valuable and important. For her, if there were a variety of children’s books out there in which little girls were shown playing with trucks and trains and learning to be engineers and surgeons, and if there were books out there in which boys were shown getting a kick out of dressing up in fancy clothes, it would be a different world.
“At present, it’s not that world. But time will tell,” she stressed.
【1】Why did Lindemann begin editing the story book for her daughter?
A. She was good at telling stories.
B. She hoped to inspire her daughter.
C. Her daughter refused common books.
D. Her daughter wanted to learn writing.
【2】What did the public think of Lindemann’s editing stories?
A. They liked it.
B. They were opposed to it.
C. They were confused by it.
D. They had a mixed opinion on it.
【3】We can learn from Paragraph 5 that girls ________.
A. must learn to appreciate books
B. should value their appearance
C. can learn to play boys’ games
D. ought to learn about science
【4】How does Lindemann probably feel when saying “it’s not that world” (in Para.6)?
A. Sorry but hopeful. B. Pitiful but pleased.
C. Worried but powerless. D. Disappointed but acceptable.
24、Around 6,200 years ago, farmers living on the eastern edges of Europe, in what is now Ukraine, left their villages. They moved into an area between the modern cities of Kiev and Odessa. They built new settlements up to 20 times the size of their old ones. Scientists believe the civilization might be an early attempt at urbanization. But it isn’t clear whether the sites, or perhaps the earliest cities, were fully inhabited (居住) year round and there is heated debate over what they were for.
This puzzling culture, known as the Cucuteni-Trypillia, predates the earliest known cities in Mesopotamia. Researcher Monica Smith, the author of Cities: The First 6.000 Years, thinks the very large sites may have had something in common with Gobekli Tepe in modern Turkey. It is a building complex which is at least 10,000 years old and seems to have been a place where people gathered together periodically for special gatherings.
By contrast, scientist Johannes Muller believes the very large sites were fully occupied all year round. But the inhabitants left the lightest of footprints in the landscape, and no human remains have been found. “Not a finger, not a tooth,” says researcher Alexey Nikitin. The evidence is extremely difficult to collect because Trypillians periodically burned their houses down in a controlled way.
Uruk and Tell Brak, which arose in Mesopotamia early in the 4th millennium BCE, are usually considered the world’s first cities. Their remains point to an increased density (密度) of habitation and a hierarchical (等级制度的) social structure-two features that are considered essential to the definition of a city. But the Trypillian sites don’t meet either of those standards.
Scientists John Chapman and Bisserka Gaydarska agree, saying. “Trypillian sites were a social system based on the belief that everyone was equal.” These were cities, but of a very different kind from the slave-owning (拥有奴隶的) societies of Mesopotamia a few centuries later. And our definition of a city may need expanding, argue Chapman and Gaydarska.
【1】What might have been the purpose of the Trypillian sites according to Monica?
A．Protecting cities.
B．Attracting settlers.
C．Holding events.
D．Entertaining villagers.
【2】What is the limitation of Muller’s theory?
A．It has little clear evidence.
B．It is mainly based on unusual ideas.
C．The data he collected is not convincing.
D．The research method he used is unscientific.
【3】What was a major difference between Trypillia and Uruk?
A．Trypillia had more houses.
B．Trypillia was densely populated.
C．Trypillia was a society full of equality.
D．Trypillia created a greater civilization.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Prehistoric remains in Ukraine
B．A different urban life of Trypillians
C．Mesopotamia’s slave-owning societies
D．The mysterious culture that invented civilization
