But if you think a high-factor sunscreen keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this weeks Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the numb

11、er of melanomas（黑瘤）and delays their occurrence, it cant prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have peri

12、odic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people

13、found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1.101 who didnt have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, lon

14、g sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection no sunscreen seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so its not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think su

15、nscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.Many people also dont use sunscreen properly applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the

16、teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt

17、, use sunscreen and slap on a hat.1、Whats peoples common expectation of high-factor sunscreen?AIt will protect them from sunburn.BIt will keep their skin smooth ad fair.CIt will work for people of any skin color.DIt will delay the occurrence of skin cancer.2、What can we learn from the second paragra

19、melanoma rates?AStaying in the shade whenever possible.BUsing covering up instead of sunscreen.CUsing both covering up and sunscreen.DApplying the right amount of sunscreen.4、What is the best title for the text?ANo Way to Stop Harmful Rays!BDoes Sunscreen Prevent Skin Cancer?CDid You Use Sunscreen I

20、n the Right Way?DSkin Cancer-The Biggest Threat to Human Beings!22（8分）Students at the Florida high school where 17 people were shot dead in February of 2018 are being asked to wear clear backpacks.School officials have written to families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High pupils outlining the plans a

21、s part of new security measures, They say any student without a clear backpack will be given one at no cost. As well as introducing the transparent backpacks for quicker safety checks, there will also be airport-style metal detectors and school visitors will pass through special gates.“Were going to

22、 man every gate at the school during school hours and for after-school activities,” said the superintendent of Broward County Public Schools, Robert W. Runcie.Since the shooting when Nikolas Cruz opened fire killing 17 people, students there have been leading calls for gun reform.Donald Trump has to

23、ld US politicians he wants tougher laws with “really strong background checks”, while hes faced anger from anti-gun groups for suggesting training school staff to use firearms.In the last few days, safety at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High has been called into question again after several security bre

24、aches (违反). Three students were arrested on Tuesday, two for carrying knives and one for making threats on Snapchat. Some parents have become so worried that theyve been keeping their children off school.“Weve got to put things into place now,” Mr Runcie said.1、Which is a new security measure of the

25、 school?ATeachers are trained to use firearms.BGuards are hired to monitor the students.CVisitors are forbidden to enter the school.DStudents are required to wear clear backpacks.2、What can we know about the school shooting from the text?AThe gunman was a school staff member.BOne of the victims was

28、ory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact.But many also run a darker risk: doping the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs

29、by athletic competitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Rus

30、sians to compete as individuals. And on the eve of the competition the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.Russias doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No count

31、ry or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in 2011, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international competitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven

32、 times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).Doping is more sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes.

33、New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athletes “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in

34、 later life. They were more likely to commit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than a dozen cyclists deaths have already been linked to it.The agencies that set o

35、ut to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate, they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would get their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees

36、them, is packed with officials from national sports federations and the IOCTheir interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better.1、The word “muffling” (in paragraph 2)

37、is closest in meaning to “ .”AdeafeningBconveyingCspreadingDweakening2、Why did the author cite an instance of Lance Armstrong?ATo illustrate he is a model of Russian athlete.BTo show cycling is very popular in France.CTo indicate doping exists everywhere.DTo suggest doping is an exception for Americ

38、an athletes.3、Which of the following is NOT a side-effect of steroids?AGiving birth to an unhealthy child.BSuicidal tendencies.CStimulates the production of red blood cells.DUnintentionally having a pregnancy end early.4、What can be inferred from the passage?AThe CAS should put more severe penalties

39、 on Russian athletes.BThe Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have not been successful due to doping scandals.CDoping is quite common among athletes in France and Russia.DWADA does a good job monitoring doping in the Olympics.24（8分）Not so long ago,most people didnt know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was g

40、oing to become.She was just an average high school athlete.There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future.However,one person wants to change this.Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had

41、seen the beginning of true greatness.Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so,he seemed there was something trying to get out,something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking.He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training season

42、s. Their cooperation quickly produced results,and a few year later at Jamaicas Olympic games in early 2008,Shelly Ann,who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world,beat Jamaicas unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）.Where did she come from?asked an astonished sprinting world,before concluding t

43、hat she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time,only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder.At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first

44、Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold.She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton,becoming world champion with a time of 10.73the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile.She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her j

45、ourney to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless,She grew up in one of Jamaicas toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse,where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers.Waterhouse,one of the poorest

46、communities in Jamaica,is a really violent and overpopulated place.Several of Shelly-Anns friends and family were caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived.Sometimes her family didnt have enough to eat.She ran at the school championships

47、barefooted because she couldnt afford shoes.Her mother Maxime,one of a family of fourteen,had been an athlete herself as a young girl but,like so many other girls in Waterhouse,had to stop after she had her first baby.Maximes early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the de

48、termination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouses roundabout of poverty.One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track,and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didnt take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of W

49、aterhouse.On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008,all those long,hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit.The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty,surrounded by criminals and violence,had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Anns vic

50、tory was far greater than that.The night,she won Olympic gold in Beijing,the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped.The dark cloud above one of the worlds toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days.“I have so much fire burning for

51、my country,”Shelly said.She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse.She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons.She intends to fight to make it a womans as well as a mans world.As Muhammad Ali puts it,Champions arent made

52、 in gyms.Champions are made from something they have deep inside them.A desire,a dream,a vision.One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.1、Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?AHe had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.BHe sensed a gr

53、eat potential in her despite her weaknesses.CShe had big problems maintaining her performance.DShe suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.2、What can we infer from Shelly-Anns statement underlined in Paragraph 5?AShe was highly rewarded for her efforts.BShe was eager to do more for her

54、 country.CShe became an athletic star in her country.DShe was the envy of the whole community.3、By mentioning Muhammad Alis words,the author intends to tell us that_.Aplayers should be highly inspired by coachesBgreat athletes need to concentrate on patienceChard work is necessary in ones achievemen

55、tsDmotivation allows great athletes to be on the top4、What is the best title for the passage?AThe Making of a Great AthleteBThe Dream for ChampionshipCThe Key to High PerformanceDThe Power of Full Responsibility25（10分）JOHANNESBURGThey say cats have nine lives. Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that

56、club of clever survivors.South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain candlestick(烛台) that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause

57、 harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour flight

58、 was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There

59、 was even a ceremony, in which the toads boarding pass was handed to Glasby.“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrit

60、y-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing
