21、 People have known since ancient times that aspirin (阿司匹林) reduces pain and lowers high body temperature. But that is not all the drug can do. In recent years, it has been used in other ways, too. Small amounts may help prevent a stroke or heart attack. One recent study showed that some people who took two aspirin pills a day had lower rates of colorectal cancer. And, some researchers say aspirin may help patients with colon cancer live longer. So, how did aspirin become so important? The story begins with a willow.
2,000 years ago, the Greek doctor Hippocrates advised his patients to chew on the bark and leaves of the willow. The tree contains a chemical called salicin. In the 1800s, researchers discovered how to make salicylic acid from the chemical. In 1897, a chemist named Felix Hoffmann at Friedrich Bayer and Company in Germany created acetyl salicylic acid. Later, it became the active substance in a medicine that Bayer called aspirin. The “a” came from acetyl. The “spir” came from the spirea plant, which also produces salicin. And the “in” ? That is a common way to end medicine names.
In 1982, a British scientist shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in part for discovering how aspirin works. Sir John Vane found that aspirin prevents the body from making the natural substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins have several effects on the body. Some cause pain and swelling (肿). Prostaglandins also make the heart, kidneys (肾) and blood vessels work well. So there is a problem. Aspirin works against all prostaglandins, good and bad. It can also harm the inside of the stomach, and sometimes it can cause bleeding.
But a British study released in 2009 suggested that taking another drug with a small amount of aspirin may help reduce the risk of bleeding. If this proves true, it would help thousands of people who are seeking to prevent life-threatening conditions.
【1】The writer wrote this passage to ________.
A.tell us the harm of aspirin B.help us know aspirin better
C.explain why aspirin is useful D.prove that aspirin is a good medicine
【2】What do we learn about aspirin from Paragraph 1?
A.It is not used until recent years.
B.Using it for a long time may lead to cancer.
C.It is very dangerous if it is used in the wrong way.
D.It has gained important new uses in recent years.
【3】What is waiting to be solved according to the last paragraph?
A.The bleeding caused by taking aspirin.
B.How to reduce the risk of getting colorectal cancer.
C.How to help patients with colon cancer live longer.
D.The problem of low body temperature caused by taking aspirin.
22、TANAKA KANE became the third person ever to turn 118, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a team of academics. She is also the first citizen of Japan to reach 118—but is unlikely to be the last. The country has the world's longest life expectancy, and 80,000 people aged at 100 years old or older.
The unusual longevity enjoyed in Japan is credited to diet. Japan largely banned meat for l,200 years, and still consumes relatively little meat and dairy. Too much of these can be damaging, since they contain saturated fatty acids(饱和脂肪酸)，which correlate to heart disease. Studies have also tied eating lots of processed red meat to a greater risk of stroke. But too little may be unwise as well, because they provide chemical substance that may be needed for our blood-tube walls. In a study of 48,000 Britons, vegetarians were unusually resistant to heart disease, but likely to suffer from strokes.
In theory, a lack of animal-based food could have contributed to Japan's historical cerebrovascular(脑血管)death rate. In 1960-2013, as the country's deaths from strokes reduced, its annual meat intake rose from near zero to 52kg per person (45% of America's level). Tsugane Shoichiro of the National Cancer Centre in Tokyo says that his citizens may need meat and dairy to keep their blood tubes strong―though not so much that those tubes get blocked.
Some evidence supports this view. One paper from the 1990s found that the parts of Japan where diets had changed most also had the biggest drops in cerebrovascular death rate. Another study, which tracked 80,000 Japanese people in 1995-2009, showed that strokes were most common among those who ate the least chops and cream. Although Japan's decline in cerebrovascular deaths could stem from other causes, these data suggest that nutritional shifts may have helped.
The unhappy irony is that Japan's health gains, paired with a low birth rate, threaten its economy. By 2060, 40% of Japanese could be 60 or older. That would produce more birthday cakes with 118 candles—and fewer great-grandchildren to blow them out.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To provide evidence.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To promote an idea.
D．To make comparison.
【2】What message is conveyed in paragraph 2?
A．A light heart lives long.
B．Diet cures more than doctors.
C．Happiness lies first of all in health.
D．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
【3】What do the studies in paragraph 4 show?
A．It is vital to have meat and dairy.
B．It is common to suffer from strokes.
C．It is beneficial to change diet habit.
D．It is important to eat least cream.
【4】What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A．The less meat and dairy, the better.
B．More cakes and candles are needed.
C．Medical demand for heart disease is met.
D．Longevity and low birth rate affect economy.
23、Why You Should Stop Complaining
When living out our daily lives, it’s often easy to blame the world for our problems. 【1】 But the biggest difference is simply our reactions to them. Here are three reasons why you should change your reaction to a situation and stop complaining.
The world owes you nothing.
The world really does have nothing to do with you or anyone else. The planet will continue to exist without you on it. 【2】 However, it really isn’t the case once we’re an adult. The world doesn’t provide us with the same blanket of comfort as our carers once did, which only means one thing: It’s up to us to provide that blanket for ourselves and no one else.
【3】
If you look back at your own life, you’ll begin to realize that everything you have ever done was all a result of the decisions you’ve made sure there may have been people around you who have convinced you to do something. But it all ultimately depends on your decisions. 【4】 Your life is just like a blank canvas, and you are the painter. Start to think about what your hopes and dreams might be and remind yourself daily that it’s all up to you to make things happen.
You can’t be a leader if you behave like a victim.
It’s really easy to put blame on things that are external to you. 【5】 So what can you change? Being a leader in your life takes courage and requires the willingness to face your fears, experience failure, and take complete personal responsibility of everything that happens to you.
A．What are you worrying about?
B．So who’s really to blame?
C．You are in charge of your own life.
D．You are helped by people around you.
E．We were nurtured and looked after as kids.
F．It’s true that there are things in the world we can’t control.
G．As it avoids personal responsibility and allows you to refuse the possibility that you may have things that can be changed.
24、 Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.
Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).
The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.
What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.
So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.
【1】This experiment was carried out by
A. dividing the teens into three groups
B. comparing the reactions to different risks
C. giving equal amount of awards to the participants
D. observing the emotional changes of the teenager
【2】When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be ________.
A. ambits B. cautious
C. anxious D. curious
【3】Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks?
A. Teenagers. B. College students.
C. Parent-aged adults. D. Grandparent-aged adults.
【4】According to the study, parents should focus on ________.
A. guaranteeing children to be careful
B. setting age limits on dangerous activities
C. respecting teens to make their own choices
D. guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks
