it is doubtful. arsenic was used in many types of medicine during napoleons time, so he might have taken the arsenic as a cure for his illness. then, in 1982, dr. david jones from england began to look into the mystery and suggested that napoleon might have breathed in arsenic which was in the air of his house. in the 1700s and 1800s, arsenic was used to make a kind of green paint used on cloth and wallpaper. if the paint was used on a wet wall, the arsenic would go into the air. a person in the room might breathe that air. after studying the wallpaper in the room where napoleon died, dr. jones found high levels of arsenic in the green paint on the walls.6. the passage says that . a. a british doctor thinks he has found the cause of napoleons death b. many doctors have tried to guess the cause of napoleons death c. napoleon could have died from poison d. all of the above7. why did napoleon live on st. helena?

a. he ate it. b. he breathed it in. c. he touched it. d. he drank it.【参考答案】610、dbdab 阅读理解-cone reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation is a blank stare that asks the question, since i dont live there, what does it have to do with me? the answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. if you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests. biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks, disappears. as many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. their loss is immeasurable. take rubber for example. for many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. synthetics are not good enough. today over half the worlds commercial rubber is produced in malaysia and indonesia, while the amazons rubber industry produces much of the worlds four million tons. and rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use. many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect - or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. as we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen. carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. the result? a partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. unbelievable? maybe. but scientists warn that by the time we realise the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late. can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? now, you should have got the answer.11. the underlined word synthetics probably means . a. natural rubber b. tropical materials c. man-made material d. commercial rubber12. in the last paragraph the author tries to . a. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation b. persuade people to buy something synthetic c. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests d. let people realise the effect of tropical deforestation13. according to the passage, which of the following is not true? a. the forests are losing their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. b. many of our daily uses are related to the tropical forests. c. tropical plants can be used to make industrial products. d. high carbon dioxide levels will make the earth warmer.14. the authors attitude towards the tropical deforestation is . a. puzzling b. cold c. supporting d. opposed15. which of the following might be the best title for the passage? a. tropical forests b. the value of tropical forests c. tropical forests and our life d. the greenhouse effects【参考答案】1115、ccadc阅读理解-dchina has recently been faced with serious issues of product safety. in panama, it is said that medicine made with a poisonous chemical sickened some people. a chinese company had identified it as diethylamide glycol （ 化乙二醇）, a low cost substitute commonly used in automobile antifreeze（防冻剂）. some countries have banned chinese-made toothpaste containing diethylamide glycol. china has now told companies to discontinue its use, even though it says the toothpaste is safe. another industrial chemical, melamine, was found in wheat flour used to make pet food in north america. thousands of dogs and cats became sick. the united states has restricted some imports of chinese seafood because they contained banned substance. and questions have been raised about other products, including childrens toys covered with lead paint. chinese officials promised to provide the european union, the biggest trading partner, with detailed reports on enforcement efforts against unsafe goods. meglena kuneva, commissioner (理事) for consumer protection of the european union said china should have kept its promise. china recently closed three companies linked to the panama and the pet food scare. and it dismissed the former head of its food and drug administration. he was found guilty of corruption (腐败) for approving unsafe drugs. this week, a conference of the state council approved a proposed special measure on the supervision of food safety. the xinhua news agency said it calls for stronger controls over producers, greater responsibilities for gove
