Although the decline may seem small compared to the total number of cancer deaths, the American Cancer Society expects the downward trend to continue and is projecting a much larger decrease in 2020.Cancer is still a deadly disease, causing one in every four deaths in the United States, second only to heart disease. But the rate of cancer deaths has been dropping by about 1 percent annually since 1991, because earlier discovery and better treatment are helping more people survive cancer.When the government first began keeping records in 1930, cancer led to 114,186 deaths and the US population was roughly 123 million, less than half of the 290 million people who live in the United States today.Back then, there were few treatment options-just surgery and high doses of radiation- and they werent very effective. The first chemotherapy(化疗) drugs werent developed until after World War II. The first real break-through in widespread prevention was the US Surgeon Generals report on smoking in 1964.Poor nutrition, less physical exercise and obesity are major causes of cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, reduced tobacco use is the biggest single factor contributing to the drop in cancer deaths. Smoking and other tobacco use are a major cause of lung cancer - one of the most deadly forms of the disease- as well as 14 other types of cancer.56. According to the passage, _ causes the most deaths in the United States today. A. cancer B. heart disease C. smoking D. drugs57. Which is the most important in protecting people from cancer according to the passage?A. Exercising more . B. Being examined now and then.C. Giving up smoking D. Receiving effective treatment58. Which of the following was the first key period for the decrease of cancer deaths? A. 1930 B. 1964 C. 1984 D. 199159. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. Cancer can already be cured now.B. Cancer is not as deadly now as before.C. Cancer deaths will be ended soon.D. Cancer deaths can be further reduced.60. According to the passage, we can infer that there were_ cancer deaths in 2002. A. 369,000 B. 557,271 C. 556,902 D. 556,533B.Mother of two, Jillian Searle, had to choose between her children when she made a life-and-death decision.Swept up by mountainous tsunami waves at a Thai resort, she could not hold on to both her young sons to survive. Fighting to stay above the waters, she had to choose which one would have to take his chances in the turning waves.“I knew I had to let go of one of them and I just thought Id better let go of the one thats the older,” she told Sky News television in a report broadcast on Thursday. She said she was accompanied by the two boys, Lachie, five, and two-year-old Blake, and their father , Brad, who had watched the drama helplessly from their first-floor hotel room, when the waves struck. “And I was crying, trying to find him, and we thought he was dead,” she told reporters on arrival back in Australia.Lachie was found alive about two hours later holding a door and looked uninjured as his mother spoke to reporters.British surfer Martin Markwell is also a lucky man. He had always dreamed of catching that perfect wave- but when it finally came along , it was a nightmare. He was on his surfboard when he was swept up by a tsunami wave.“It was really terrible because I was surfing - I was really surfing on a wave I wasnt supposed to be on,” he said. “As an experienced surfer, when I saw the wave come I realized something was wrong, but I couldnt escape because my surfboard was tied to my ankle.”His wife Vicki and son Jake looked on in horror from a hotel window as he crashed towards the shore. Luckily, he stayed on his board until he reached the hotel, jumped off and got to safety as the ocean rolled back to feed a much larger tsunami wave on its way. The family gathered and ran to safety just minutes before a giant tsunami wave 10 metres high.61. Jillian Searle had to give up one of her children because_.A. she was sure her child would survive the tsunamiB. one of her children was extremely good at swimmingC. she couldnt possibly survive with both her childrenD. she would like to put one of her children to the life-and-death test62. The underlined word “drama” in Paragraph 3 probably means_.A. a play for theatre, radio or TV B. an unusual and exciting situationC. the quality or condition of being dramatic D.a serious narrative work63. Martin Markwell was stuck in the wave while surfing because_.A. he was trapped with his feet tied to the surfboardB. he didnt realize danger was aheadC. his wife Vicki and son Jake failed to help himD. he was brave enough to challenge the tsunami waveC.EVERYBODY in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it s not easy to change later in life.Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The antworks firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricketfun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn t think too much about the future. Theyeven borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snaillives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big longterm loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.64. We can learn from the text that_ .A. we spend money because we have earned itB. saving money is a good way to manage moneyC. spending money is a wiser wayD. your way of managing money is a reflection of your value or belief65. Of the three types of people, the one that has no weakness is_ .A. the ant B. the cricket C. the snail D. none of them66. If you had three dollars, you would spend all of it. Which type do you belong to?A. The ant. B. The cricket. C. The snail. D. None of them.D.Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who looked up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as a transtation of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand . They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word , or divide it into syllabkes(音节),they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural(复数)form or a verb might have an unusual past form, they check there in a dictionary.67.The writer tends to(倾向于)think that_.A choose a good dictionary, and youll succeed in learning EnglishB dictionaries are not very neccssary to the students who learn EnglishC it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properlyD using dictionaries very often cant help to improve your writing68 .According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A .Dictionares have little effect on learning to speak English.B.No matter what new words you meet while reading, try to guess before using dictionaries.C.Small two-language dictionaries have serious defects(缺陷)。D.Reading something for the first time ,youd better not use a dictionary69.This article mainly tells us_.A. that students shouldnt use small two-language dictionariesB. what are the defects of mall two-language dictionariesC. why students should use large college edition dictionariesD. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it70.The function(功能)of the first sentence in the third paragraph is_.A to form a connecting link between the preceding(前面的)and the followingB to raise the main point of the third paragraphC to end the subject talked about in the first two paragraphsD to change the subject to talk about something else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。（E 答案涂AB F答案涂 CD G 答案涂BC）71 From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure. For thousands of years, he could sail on it. But he could not go far beneath its surface.72 However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he cant stay under the waters surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. 73 He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. 74When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水夫病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. 75A. His body is under great pressure.B. Scientists are trying to find more about the sea.C. The sea has always interested man.D. They can even kill him.E. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.F. The water pressure can cause a diver to breathe with difficulty.G. Man wants to explore deep into the sea.第卷 （非选择题共35分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错
