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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage One “I have great confidence that by the end of the decade well know in vast detail how cancer cells arise,” says microbiologist Robert Weinberg，an expert on cancer. “But,” he cautions, “some people have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow. Consider Pasteur. He discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available.” This year，50 percent of the 910 000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years. In the year 2000, the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent.76) For some skin cancers，the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging 13 percent for lung cancer，and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas(胰腺)With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes, which are cancer-causing genes(基因)，are inactive in normal cells. Anything from cosmic rays to radiation to diet may activate a dormant oncogene, but how remains unknownIf several oncogenes are driven into action，the cell，unable to turn them off，becomes cancerous77) The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers. “Changes are a normal part of the evolutionary process,” say oncologist William Hayward. Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out, “We cant prepare a medicine against cosmic rays.”The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter.“First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for a least part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we counteract its actions.”1. The purpose of taking the example of Pasteur is to _.A. predict that the secret of cancer will be exposed in a decadeB. illustrate that the prospects for curing cancer are brightC. prove that cancer will be cured in ten yearsD. indicate that there is still a long way to go before cancer can be conquered2. By the year 2000, it is possible that_.A. there will be a remedy to cure all the cancer. B. 90 percent of the skin-cancer patients today will still be livingC. the survival statistics will be fairly even among patients with various cancersD. there wont be a drastic increase of survival rate of all cancer patients3. Oncogenes are cancer-causing genes_.A. that are always in operation in a healthy personB. which remain unharmful so long as they are not activatedC. that can be driven out of normal cellsD. which normal cells cant turn off4. The word “dormant” in the third paragraph most probably is replaced by_. A. sleepy B. potencial C. dead D. inactive 5. It can be included that_. A. once someone understands the causes of cancer, the cure will rapid follow B. it is known that how to activate a dormant oncogene C. the prospect for curing cancer is not bright at all.D. we cant counteract cancers action unless we know how cancer worksPassage TwoKelley McKee of Steelton, Pennsylvania, never had any intentions of taking Distance Education courses. She had already obtained a certificate at a business school. She was married, had children and worked as a legal assistant. But her life changed forever when she broke her neck and became paralyzed. She was just 27 years old. 78）Over time, Kelley has learned to move her fingers enough to use a computer and to get around daily with the help of a wheelchair. Although that progress is not enough to allow her to continue her previous career, other opportunities have opened up for her. Kelley said, The accident changed my outlook on life, and I immediately looked to education since I had no degree. Most traditional programs did not allow her to balance her education with a growing family. Then, Kelley found Penn State Distance Education. Distance Education is hard work, but my children make it all worthwhile. Even if for some reason I cant work after obtaining my degree, I will be an educated person, setting a good example for my children and having gained the knowledge that can help them in their future efforts. Distance Education has changed my life from tragedy to triumph, she said. Distance Education affords me an opportunity to pursue my own goals and personal work. My education is separate from my issues regarding my disability or my family life and caring for my children. Commenting on McKees experience, Gary E. Miller, vice president for Distance Education and director of the World Campus, noted, Kelleys story is a wonderful reminder about the impact of Distance Education on the lives of our students who cannot meet their needs through traditional on-campus programs. Jane Ireland, academic advisor for Distance Education and the World Campus, added: Kelley reminds us of the mission we have in Distance Education-to bring a quality education and experience to students regardless of their geographic vocation or life circumstances. Kelley is a wonderful example for us of the great effect we have on the lives of a great many students who truly need access to education. Kelley is a successful student, carrying credits each semester. She plans to complete her bachelors degree in letters, arts, and sciences, then continue on to obtain an online masters degree. After graduation, McKee hopes to work with injured or disabled individuals, possibly in counseling in a rehabilitation setting. Jane Ireland has no doubt Kelley will achieve her goals. 79) Kelley is thankful to her outstanding instructors and a number of student support services, including financial aid, disability services and vocational rehabilitation. Many of these faculty and staff, however, say that it is Kelley McKee who has been outstanding. Susan Waitkus, instructor in English at Penn States DuBois Campus, stated, Kelley inspires not only other students, but also faculty fortunate enough to know her. She reminds us how privileged we are to teach.6. Kelly McKee didnt think of taking Distance Education courses because_.A. taking distance Education Courses was a lot of workB. she was satisfied with her previous educationC. there was nothing she particularly wanted to learnD. she had a suitable education for her previous career7.

According to the academic advisors for distance education, their mission is_.A. to help any student who cannot go to the campus to have quality educationB. to provide the students with the best education they can offer on the campusC. to bring education to a great geographic distance using modern technologyD. to help disabled students who cannot otherwise have their educationPassage ThreeIf you have gone on a diet and reached your goal, chances are good that when you stop dieting you will regain all the weight you lost. After several weeks on a lowcalorie diet900 calories or fewerthe body conserves energy by showing the speed at which it burns calories. This slowdown explains in part why your weight loss may cease after a few weeks. When you eventually return to eat a normal amount of food, your body may continue to burn calories at the slower rate, storing the remaining calories as fat. So if you are on a strict diet, your body may need fewer calories to maintain the same weight; losing weight becomes more difficult.Doctors know that as you gain weight the fat cells in your body(most of us average 30 billion of them) become enlarged. But there is a limit to how big a fat cell can get, and very fat people develop additional fat cellssometimes more than 100 billion. It now appears that you can add fat cells at any point during your life, although the number you have is influenced by a combination of your history of dieting and your genetic makeup.80）Fat cells differs distinctly from other cells in that they are made mostly of fat instead of protein and apparently they never go away, even after dieting. Instead, they merely shrink. Dr. Jukes Hirsch of Rockefeller University has examined the body tissue of very fat people who have lost weight, and found that it resembles that of starvation victims. Perhaps, he supposes, it is the billions of undersize, “hungry” cells that drive many formerly fat people off their diets.New research reveals that your hungry cells arent the only signal senders that tempt you toward the refrigerator. Another culprit may be the hormone insulin. Insulin turns sugar and fat into fuel for the body. In addition, some researchers believe that high levels of insulin are a factor in hunger and appetiteand may drive you to overeat.Exercise helps maintain your weight and seems to bring insulin levels down, says Dr. Donald S. Robertson, a medical director. “Any weightloss program must fail,” he said, “unless it incorporates a certain amount of exercise.” 1. When you stop dieting you will regain the weight you lost because _.A) the fat cells in your body have become enlargedB) your appetite has become greater than beforeC) your body can now consume only part of the calories you get from foodD) you have developed additional fat cells2. What tempts you to eat more is _.A) your hungry cellsB) your hunger and appetiteC) hormone insulinD) both your hungry cells and hormone insulin3. The implication of the passage is that_ .A) it is hungry cells that make you stop dietingB) keeping a diet is not the best method of losing weightC) overweight is caused by fat cellsD) if you want to lose your weight, you should follow a strict diet4. According to the passage, it can be concluded that _.A) it has something to do with parents whether one is fat or notB) there are many factors that lead to overweightC) it is the hormone insulin that makes you fatD) you gain weight because you stop dieting5. The best title for the passage may be _.A) Dieting Is No Way to Lose WeightB) The Best Method of Losing Your WeightC) Causes of Gaining WeightD) Recent Researches on OverweightPart II Vocabulary and Structure （30 %） Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
