Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context The inhalation 吸入 of asbestos particles is associated with a number of lung diseases such as asbestosis and 50 cancer Asbestosis is caused by the entry of asbestos particles into the wall of the alveoli causing scarring which limits the functioning of the lungs The lung 51 its elasticity and may change shape The initial symptoms of asbestosis are a tightness in the chest and breathlessness In its 52 stages sufferers develop the barrel shaped chests associated with emphysema cyanosis where the skin takes a bluish 53 and club fingers Lung cancer the generic 54 for malignant tumors 肿瘤 of the alveoli and bronchial tubes has been shown to be directly 55 to the inhalation of asbestos particles As in the case of asbestosis there is generally a period of inactiveness which may 56 from 25 to 30 years after initial exposure despite the 57 of further exposure Research suggests that there is a direct correlation between the degree of exposure to asbestos 58 the incidence of lung cancer Where exposure occurs the level of risk is further 59 by cigarette smoking Asbestos workers who smoke cigarettes have a 90 greater risk of catching lung cancer than workers who do not 60 Exposure to blue asbestos has been shown to produce mesothelioma a rare cancer of the outer lining of the lung or pleura In a normal population the incidence of mesothelioma is extremely 61 Where epidemiological surveys have revealed a higher incidence of the disease it is almost always related to 62 exposure 63 changes in lung tissue caused by exposure to asbestos are pleural plaques and effusions The former refer to a thickening of the lining of the chest wall 64 the latter consists of a collection of fluid in the chest

passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read A A All over the world libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind For armchair scholars the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital First it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them The British Library for example holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse 阅览 Tokyo s National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1 236 woodblock prints scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinizescrutinize them without handling the originals A second benefit is convenience Once books are converted to digital form patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly The University of California at Berkeley 用心 爱心 专心 7 recently spent 46 million on an underground addition to house 1 5 million books an average cost of 30 per volume The price of disk storage in contrast has fallen to about 2 per 300 page publication and continues to drop 65 The best title for this passage would be A Three Benefits of Libraries B Libraries Going Digital C Space saving E learning D Security of Electronic Reading 66 Which paragraph s in the text offer s further explanation of the central idea A Paragraphs 2 3 and 4 B Paragraphs 3 and 4 C Paragraphs 2 and 4 D Paragraph 4 67 Which one of the following is mentioned as the advantages of E libraries A Old manuscripts can be moved more easily B Materials can be examined without being touched C Fewer staff will be required in libraries D Libraries will be able to move underground 68 What does the word scrutinize probably mean A keep for a while B reprint C restore D examine carefully A casual employee is one who is engaged and paid as such by agreement between the employer and employee There is a

Previous research by scientists from Keil University in Germany monitored Adelie penguins and noted that the birds heart rates increased dramatically at the sight of a human as far as 30 meters away But new research using an artificial egg which is equipped to measure heart rates disputes this Scientists from the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge say that a slow moving human who does not approach the nest too closely is not viewed as a threat by penguins The earlier findings have been used to partly explain the 20 per cent drop in populations of certain types of penguins near tourist sites However tour operators have continued to insist that their activities do not adversely affect wildlife in Antarctica saying they encourage non disruptive behavior in tourists and that the decline in penguin numbers is caused by other factors Amanda Nimon of the Scott Polar Research Institute spent three southern hemisphere summers at Cuverville Island in Antarctica studying penguin behavior towards humans A nesting penguin will react very differently to a person rapidly and closely approaching the nest says Nimon First they exhibit large and prolonged heart rate changes and then they often flee the nest leaving it open for predators 掠夺者 to fly in and remove eggs or chicks The artificial egg specially for the project monitored both the parent who had been disturbed when the egg was placed in the nest and the other parent as they both took it in turns to guard the nest However Boris Culik who monitored the Adelie penguins believes that Nimon s findings do not invalidate his own research He points out that species behave differently and Nimon s work was with Gentoo penguins Nimon and her colleagues believe that Culik s research was methodologically flawed because the
