Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things. At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being completely by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed completely. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents. Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.29According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in _.A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detectionC. radiation level D. nuclear radiation30Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level _.A. when it kills few cellsB. though the damaged cells can repair themselvesC. if it damages few cellsD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves31Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _.A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD. lead to all of the above results32Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be too overemphasized (过分强调).B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.Do you often feel lonely? What do you do when you feel that way? Hide yourself away and spend your time reading, watching TV or walking around?You might think that feeling lonely is just like feeling happy, sad or scared that its just one of your various moods. That is true. However, if you let yourself be lonely for too long without dealing with it, you could be making a serious mistake.Doctors have known for some time that feeling lonely is bad for the mind. It can lead to mental health problems such as depression, stress and reduce confidence. “Being lonely means not feeling connected or cared for, but its not about being mentally alone,” Lisa Jaremka, scientist from Ohio State University, US, told Live Science in January. And theres growing evidence that not having friends is connected with physical illness as well.In 2006, for example, scientists studied 2,800 women who had cancer. They found that those who had few friends or family were five times more likely to die of their disease than women with many social contacts. Also, even healthy people had a better chance of falling ill if they felt left out by others, according to the BBC.The results have scientists thinking that loneliness might hurt the immune system(免疫系统), which protects the body from diseases.Hoping to prove this theory, Jaremka and her research team put volunteers(志愿者) through a stress test. During the test, volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech in front of a group of stony-faced people. The researchers found that volunteers who said they were lonely in their daily lives felt more stress during the test. And their blood samples showed that all the stress had managed to cause harmful changes to their immune system.“Loneliness has been thought of in many ways as a chronic stressor(慢性增压器) a socially painful situation that can last for quite a long time, ” explained Jaremka, who led the study.The number of people suffering from loneliness is increasing all over the world. However, solving the problem is easier said than done. It wont work to just “tell anyone to go out and find someone to love you”, said Jaremka. “We need to create support networks.”33If people feel lonely for a long time, _.A. they wont feel happy anymoreB. they are more mentally harmed than physicallyC. they will find the feeling goes away by itselfD. they are more likely to fall ill34What was the purpose of the stress test carried out by Jaremkas team?A. To find out how people fight diseases.B. To prove loneliness hurts peoples immune systems.C. To find out the relationship between loneliness and stress.D. To see how peoples emotions change when they give unprepared speeches.35We can conclude from the article that _.A. loneliness has become the No. 1 killer in the worldB. loneliness is increasing due to advanced technologiesC. websites must be set up to help people deal with lonelinessD. much more work needs to be done to fight loneliness第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Anyone who has ever tried to stop smoking knows how difficult it is to quit. There is no lack of information about how unhealthy smoking is for you- not to mention the unpleasant smell. So why would teens ever begin to smoke?36 Research shows that the majority of smokers lit up their first cigarette in their early or mid-teens, precisely at a time when children are beginning to establish their own identity apart from their parents. Smoking can be an act of rebellion(反抗) against parents or authority figures, as well as a way to fit in with others and feel accepted.Here are some things that parents can do to help a child stay smoke-free.Start talking to your teen about how bad smoking is for him early, well before his teens. Keep talking, too. 3738 For example, smoking makes your hair and clothing smell bad, stains the teeth, and reduces your lung power to play sports.39 Talk about the addictive power of smoking and tell him while those few cigarettes are his choice, the addiction that occurs shortly afterwards makes him powerless to decide whether or not he wants to light up.Work on self-esteem(自尊) and self-confident with your teen. Much of the attraction of smoking is to gain acceptance. 40Young teens live in the moment, too.Play on your childs desire to make his own choices.The answer lies in the develop-mental stage of your teens.Give your child the facts, but focus on the things he can relate to.Help your teen to feel good about himself without having to smoke.One discussion will not be enough to help your child not to smoke.They wont be aware of how powerful addictive smoking is in a very short time.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande in the Andes mountains.
