D．Humans will suffer from heat stress and tropical diseases.
4、Questions are based on the following passage．
Our risk of cancer rises dramatically as we age．So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors——or doesn’t it?
While such vigilant(警觉的)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 weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing．
In many cases，screening can lead to additional biopsies and surgeries to remove cancer,which can cause side effects，while the cancers themselves may be slow—growing and may not pose 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 riotous reaction among doctors，patients and advocacy 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 or prior personal experience with the disease，should continue to get screened regularly．But for me remainder,the risk of cancer,while increased at the end of life，must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy(预期寿命)．
A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening——especially considering the explosion of the elderly that will soon swell our population．
It，s not an easy calculation to make，but one that make sense for the whole patient．Dr．Otis Brawley said，“Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves．We need to think about the rational use of health care and stop talking about the rationing 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．
Why do doctors recommend routine cancer screening for elderly people?
A．It is believed to contribute to long life．
B．It is part of their health care package．
C．The elderly are more sensitive about their health．
D．The elderly are in greater danger of tumor growth．
5、Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questionsare based on the following passage.
What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some
school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think about what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools, perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up to a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
Which of the following can best sum up the first paragraph?
A．The importance of doing well at school.
B．Using school performance to help to choose a career.
C．The importance of being good at all subjects.
D．The indirect value of school work.

7、Unit 9
Growth of trade will depend greatly on availability of energy sources. There may still be a trillion barrels of recoverable oil in the Middle East. But the oil crisis of 1974 has 11 to renewed interest in coal and to a search for 12 sources of energy. Solar, geothermal, and nuclear energy will play a large role in the years to come.
Solar energy is available in 13 forms. Buildings can be heated and cooled by direct use of solar radiation, crops and trees, which are the most efficient converters of sunlight into energy, can be grown for their energy potential, wastes can be burned as 14 , sunlight can be converted into DC (direct current) electricity, electric power can be 15 from the sun-warmed surface waters of the ocean, and lastly, solar radiation can be converted into heat that will drive electric power generators. Serious problems still remain as to 16 and storage of solar energy.
Geothermal energy is the energy contained within the earth. Heat is abundantly available deep in the earth's core and is constantly being produced. However, this heat is usually located at too deep a level for 17 exploitation. In short, very little is known on the use of geothermal energy, and it has 18 been exploited.
Nuclear energy is produced in nuclear power plants. At these plants atoms of uranium are split, thus 19 masses of energy. Another source of energy
under development is the nuclear fusion of certain atoms of hydrogen. This could eventually 20 natural gas as a source of energy.
