without any clear winner. like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: where is the line between what i control and what you do?both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. in part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. from the parents point of view, the only cause of

risk.researchers from the university of iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma(黑素瘤). they said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence(发生率)faster than any other cancer in the united states.but questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.the researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancerpeople with fair skin and freckles(雀斑), for exampleare more likely to use sunscreen. as a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.the studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.39. the underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means .a. evidencesb. factsc. faults d. failures40. people with fair skin and freckles .a. seldom use sunscreen b. are more in danger of skin cancerc. can be free from the harm of the sun d. often expose themselves to the sun41. we can learn from the passage that .a. sunscreen users get skin cancer more oftenb. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreenc. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteersd. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in america42. which of the following can be the best title for this passage?a. sunscreen to prevent skin cancer b. sunscreen to increase skin cancerc. skin cancer caused by sunscreen d. skin cancer caused by freckles【参考答案】39-42 cbda 由(2012安徽合肥高三第二次教学质量检测)改编nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.in a survey done by insurer metlife,51% of women said they drive more safely.the evidence is on their side:men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving.“women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers,which leads to fewer accidents,”the report says. however,not all male drivers share the same opinion.of the men surveyed by metlife,39% claimed male drivers were safer.the findings did back them up on one point:automotive knowledge.the report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control,which helps prevent rollover accidents.auto safety unavoidably matters to money.insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims,and for now,that mainly includes women.in general,women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men.a study by the website also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states.among individual states,women get the greatest advantage in wyoming (where they pay 20% less),south dakota and washington,d.c.,where their insurance costs are 16% lower.“more than 11,900 male drivers died in u.s.traffic accidents in 2009,compared with just under 4,900 women drivers,”according to the study.“based on miles traveled,men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled,vs.1.7 deaths for women.”14.according to the study, female drivers.a.are more aggressive while drivingb.are more interested in auto knowledgec.are more likely to stick to driving lawsd.are more familiar with safety equipment15.insurance companies focus on female driver clients probably because they.a.cause more accidents on the roadb.pay more money to the insurance companiesc.take the most part of the insurance clientsd.have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims16.we can infer from the passage that.a.men are 3.1 times more
