填空题High Dive Chery Stems aims to go boldly where no human has ever gone before in a balloon: 40 kilometers up into the atmosphere. (46) . No one has ever leapt from such a height or gone supersonics without an airplane or a spacecraft. Yet Stems, an airline pilot, is not the only person who wants to be the first to accomplish those feats. Two other brave people, an Australian man and a Frenchman, are also planning to make similar leaps. (47) . First, she'll climb into a cabin hanging from a balloon the size of a football field. Then the balloon will take her high into the stratosphere, the layer of Earth's atmosphere 12 to 50 kilometers above the planet. "The ascent will take two and a half to three hours," said Stems. "I'll be wearing a fully pressurized, temperature-controlled space suit." At 40 kilometers, Stems will be able to see the gentle curve of Earth and the blackness of space over head. Then she'll unclip herself from the cabin and dive headfirst, like a bullet, into the atmosphere. (48) . For high dive, astronaut escape suits are a key to success. Current pilot and astronaut escape suits are guaranteed only a maximum altitude of 21 kilometers. Del Rosso, a NASA engineer of spacesuits and life-support systems, said the suit designed for Stem's jump could serve as a model for the lethal environment of higher climbs. (49) . The first hazard is oxygen-deficient air. Any person without an additional oxygen supply at 40 kilometers would die within three to five seconds. The second hazard is low atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is much lower at high altitudes than it is at sea level. The low atmospheric pressure of the upper stratosphere causes the gases in body fluids to fizz out of solution like soda bubbles. (50) . Other hazards include temperatures as low as 55 degrees Celsius, flying debris, and solar radiation. For Stems to survive, her spacesuit will have to protect hex from all of these hazards. "A spacesuit is like a one-person spaceship," Del Rosso explained. "You have to take everything you need in a package that's light enough, mobile enough, and tough enough to do the job. You can't exist without it."A. It will handle several major hazards.B. Escape suits are tough enough to stand the atmospheric pressure of the upper stratosphere.C. From there, she'll take a death-defying leap back to Earth at supersonic speed.D. "In 30 seconds, I'll be going Mach (马赫) speed," said Sterns.E. How will Stems make her giant jump?F. In short, blood boils.

填空题Pregnant Women Warned about ACE Inhibitor Some of the most commonly used medicines for high blood pressure are drugs called ACE inhibitors (血管紧张素转化酶抑制剂). Doctors have given these drugs to patients for twenty-five years. A government study in the United States found that the use almost doubled between 1995 and 2000. Doctors have known for years that women should not take ACE inhibitors during the last six months of pregnancy. The medicine can injure the baby. ACE inhibitors, though, have been considered safe when taken during the first three months. But a new study has found that women who take these drugs early in their pregnancy still increase the risk of birth disorders. The study shows that, compared to others, their babies were almost three times as likely to be born with major problems. These included problems with the formation of the brain and nervous system and holes in the heart. The researchers say they found no increased risk in women who took other blood pressure medicines during the first three months. Researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and Boston University did the study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the results. The researchers studied the records of almost 30,000 births between 1985 and 2000. 209 babies were born to women who took ACE inhibitors during the first three months of their pregnancies. Eighteen of the babies, or almost nine percent, had major disorders. ACE inhibitors are often given to patients with diabetes. But diabetes during pregnancy can result in birth defects. So the study did not include any women known to be diabetic. ACE inhibitors suppress a protein called angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE. This enzyme produces a chemical in the body that makes blood passages narrow. The drugs increase the flow off blood, so pressure is reduced. New drugs are tested on pregnant animals to see if they might cause birth defects in humans. But experts say these tests are not always dependable. The United States Food and Drug Administration helped pay for the study. The FDA says women who might become pregnant should talk with their doctor about other ways to treat high blood pressure.

填空题 Old Man Myths and Realities 1. When does a middle-aged man become an old man? Officially, of course, it's when we reach retirement age. But, as we all know, this is a fairly blunt (生硬的) method of decision making. As life expectancy (预期寿命) increases, retirement planning needs to be changed. This is because being an old man today is very different from what it was a generation or so ago. 2. Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. These days people are talking about the young-old, that is ages 70 to 75, and those over 75 as the old-old. The young-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links with friends and family. The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health and social isolation. 3. Although men are living longer, there are still more old women than old men. This fact alone should arouse interest as to why. Relatively little is actually known about why this is the case or about the experiences of the old man. Sure, we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety, financial problems, loneliness, etc, but that's really about all we know. 4. It is usually believed that the old man often complains about their health. In fact, most old man think their health is good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness. The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by their health behavior when they were younger. A. New Definitions of the Old Man B. Changing Concept of the Old Man C. Health of the Old Man D. Happy Old Man and Sad Old Man E. Limited Knowledge of the Old Man's Experiences F. Contempt for the Old Man

填空题Lowering the Risk of Heart Disease Like millions of other Americans, I come from a family with a history of heart disease. My father had his first three heart attacks when he was only thirty-one. I was three years old at that time. 1 It was there, but I didn"t take it seriously. When I was thirty-one, my blood cholesterol (胆固醇) level was measured for the first time. It was 311 mg/dl, the doctor told me—an extremely high level that put me at a very high risk of heart disease, especially with my family history. He sent me to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to be screened for participation in a clinical trial. 2 At NIH, physicians explained the degree of risk associated with my blood cholesterol level and the nature of the experiment. This test involves putting a tube through a leg artery (动脉) up to the heart. 3 Learning about the risks of the experiment as well as the risk associated with my raised blood cholesterol level scared the life out of me. Although I was excluded from participating in the study, the experience may well have saved my life. For the first time, I began to realize the seriousness of high blood cholesterol. 4 But equally important, I got a taste of what it is like to be a patient, to have tests done on me and to think of myself as sick. This was hard to take. This experience taught me two lifesaving lessons. First, although I felt fit and strong, I was actually at high risk for heart disease because of my high blood cholesterol level. And with my family history, it could not be ignored. 5 A. The death rate for the test was only 1 in 100, I was assured. B. Second, I could lower my blood cholesterol level simply by changing what I ate. C. I grew up with heart disease. D. There is not enough oxygen in the blood. E. It was a heart attack just waiting to happen. F. The trial was designed to test the effect of lowering blood cholesterol on the risk of heart disease.

填空题Pain All of us have felt pain. We have cut ourselves. We have been burned. Or we have had headaches. Some of us suffer pain rarely. 1 Pain can take complete control of our body and mind, making it impossible to move and even to think. Yet we need pain. Without it, we would not know if we have hurt ourselves. It is our body"s warning system. 2 Pain is the most common reason we go to a doctor. It is the most common reason we take medicines. Until recently, however, most doctors knew of only a few drugs that stopped some pains. 3 But new knowledge about the process of pain is helping them to control pain better. Scientists have learned that the sense of pain is made up of both chemical and electrical signals. 4 Scientists also have learned that the nervous system sends two different kinds of pain messages to the brain: one very fast, the other slow. The first message is the warning signal. It moves at a speed of 30 meters a second. In less than a second, the brain understands that part of the body is hurt and how badly it is injured. 5 It tells us not to use the injured part until it heals. A. And others have painful attacks all the time. B. These signals travel from nerve cells in the injured area, up the spinal cord (脊髓) to the brain, and back down again. C. It tells us that we are injured and should do something about it. D. They knew little about the process of pain itself. E The other message moves at a speed of only one meter a second. F. And they send the second, slower message of pain to the brain.

I reasoned that smoking made me cough and thus prevented pneumonia (肺炎); smoking made my heart go faster and eliminated the need for special exercise; smoking restrained my appetite and kept me trim. And then, at 51, I had a heart attack. I knew the risk factors for early heart attacks include hypertension, diabetes(糖尿病), and a family history of heart disease, high blood-cholesterol (胆固醇)levels and smoking.{{U}} (47) {{/U}}. Strange how the evidence that linked smoking to heart disease appeared unclear to me, and how the same data now appear overwhelmingly convincing. Why stop now? Smokers who stop after their first heart attack have an 80-percent chance of living ten more years-- {{U}}(48) {{/U}}. As a smoker, I always resented the fact that we smokers received only scorn from non-smokers. How could non-smokers know that smoking was had for the health if there were no smokers to prove it? Being a member of the experimental group, rather than the control group, deserves a certain measure of social appreciation. I've done my time. I' m now ready to be a control. I no longer smoke for my health. My health can' t stand the help. Will I miss the late - night trips to find a store that's still open and selling cigarettes? Will I miss searching through ashtrays(烟灰缸)to find the longest butt(烟蒂) that is still smokable? Only time will tell. Not smoking may give me the time to find out. {{U}} (49) {{/U}}Sure. Here is all you have to do. First, experience a severe crushing pain under your breastbone as you finish a cigarette. Next, have yourself admitted to a coronary-care(心脏康复)unit and be stripped of your clothing and belongings. Finally, remain in the unit at absolute bed rest for four days while smoking is forbidden. This broke my habit{{U}} (50) {{/U}} A. Was it easy to stop? B. if they don't, a 60 percent chance. C. See if it works for you. D. All the smokers find it's hard to stop. E. Since I am a doctor, this advice attracted amused attention. F. The first four were in my favour, but I chose to smoke.

填空题Clinical Trials 1 Many clinical trials are done to see if a new drug or device is safe and effective for people to use. Sometimes clinical trials are used to study different ways to use the standard treatments so they will be more effective, easier to use, and/or decrease side effects. Sometimes, studies are done to learn how to best use the treatment in a different population, such as children, in whom the treatment was not previously tested. 2 It is important to test drugs and medical products in the people they are meant to help. It is also important to conduct research in a variety of people because different people may respond differently to treatments. Some people participate in clinical trials because they have exhausted standard treatment options. Other people participate in trims because they want to contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge. 3 The FDA(食品及药物管理局)works to protect participants in clinical trials and to ensure that people have reliable information as they decide whether to join a clinical trial. Although efforts are made to control the risks to clinical trial participants, some risks may be unavoidable because of the uncertainty inherent (内在的) in medical research studies involving new medical treatments. 4 People should learn as much as possible about the clinical trials that interest them. They should also feel comfortable discussing their questions and concerns with members of the health care team. Prospective(预期的) participants should understand what happens during the trial, the type of health care they will receive, and any costs to them. Anyone considering a clinical trial should al so know that there are benefits and risks associated with participating. A. Why are clinical trials done? B. Where are clinical trials conducted? C. Who should consider clinical trials and why? D. What should people know before participating in a clinical trial? E. What are clinical trials? F. Are clinical trials safe?

填空题Many Benefit from Cancer Organization 1. Do you know a child who survived leukemia? Do you have a mother, sister or aunt whose breast cancer was found early thanks to a mammogram? Do you have a friend or coworker who quit smoking to reduce their risk of lung cancer? Each of these individuals benefited from the American Cancer Society's research program. 2. Each day scientists supported by the American Cancer Society work to find breakthroughs that will take us one step closer to a cure. The American Cancer Society has long recognized that research holds the ultimate answers to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. 3. As the largest source of nonprofit cancer research funds in the United States, the American Cancer Society devotes over $100 million each year to research. Since 1946, they've invested more than $2.4 billion in research. The investment has paid rich dividends: In 1946, only one in four cancer patients was alive five years after diagnosis; today 60 percent live longer than five years. 4. Investigators and health professionals in universities, research institutes and hospitals throughout the country receive grants from the American Cancer Society. Of the more than 1,300 new applications received each year, only 11 percent can be funded. If the American Cancer Society had more money available for research funding, nearly 200 more applications considered outstanding could be funded each year. 5. You can help fund more of these applications by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, a team event to fight cancer. More funding means more cancer breakthroughs and more lives being saved. To learn more, call Donna Hood, chair with the Neosho Relay for Life of the American Cancer Society at 451-4880.

填空题 The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases. In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancel. However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}} No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people's cigarettes. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53,000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke. The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker's health. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic (有毒的) chemicals in their bodies. As a matter of fact, almost all of U. S. breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not. For example, we cannot avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants, hotels and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted. It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}Research shows that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as are children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke. People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}} A. Recently, though, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers. B. The Gilsons have been married for 35 years. C. Which smoke is called secondhand smoke? D. However, secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people, old or young. E. As a result, they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places. F. In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.

填空题Caribbean Islands What would you see if you took a cruise to the Caribbean Islands? Palm trees and coconuts (椰子)? White beaches and clear, blue ocean? Colorful corals (珊瑚) and even more colorful fishes and birds? You bet. There are thousands of islands in the Caribbean Sea. They are famous for their warm, tropical climate and great natural beauty. The Caribbean Islands form a chain that separates the Caribbean Sea from the rest of the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the islands were formed by the eruption (爆发) of ancient volcanoes (火山). 11 The Caribbean Islands are known by several names. 12 The explorer Christopher Columbus called the islands the Indies in 1492 because he thought he was near the coast of India. Later, Spain and France called the islands the Antilles. There are four large islands in the Caribbean Sea. 13 These four islands are often called the Greater Antilles. Together, they account for about 90 percent of the land area of the Caribbean Islands. The rest of the Caribbean Islands are much smaller. Some of these islands are no more than tiny slivers (小片) of exposed coral. You can see why pirates (海盗) such as the famous Blackbeard sailed these waters. 14 The weather of the Caribbean Sea is almost always warm and sunny. Sandy beaches line the coasts of many islands. This is why millions of tourists visit the islands each year. 15 A. But life on the Caribbean Islands is not always paradise. B. The earliest name used by Europeans is the Indies, later changed to the West Indies. C. Others are low-lying coral islands that gradually rose from the ocean. D. They are Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Hispaniola. E. Many tourists arrive on cruise ships. F. There are countless small islands to bury treasure or hide on.

The closeness of Stanford to San Francisco, a city thirty-two miles to the north, gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan (世界性的) flavor.2 The students are enrolled mainly from the western United States. But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford, and many foreign students study here, as well. And standards for admission remain high. Young men and women are selected to enter the university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes.3 Not only because of the high caliber (素质) of its students but also because of the desirable location and climate, Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world's most respected scholars. The university staff has included many Nobel Prize winners in various fields. Stanford's undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business, law, and medicine are especially well-regarded.4 What is student life like on "The Farm"? Culturally, the campus is a magnet for both students and citizens of nearby communities. Plays, concerts, and operas are performed in the university's several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater, where graduations are also held. Several film series are presented during the school year. Guest lecturers from public and academic life frequently appear on campus. For the sports-minded, the Stanford campus offers highly developed athletic facilities. Team sports, swimming, and track and field activity are all very much part of the Stanford picture. So are bicycling and jogging.5 In addition to financial support from alumni (校友), Stanford receives grants from the government and from private charities. In recent years, government grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history, psychology, education, and atomic energy. At present Stanford is carrying out an ambitious building program, financed in part by the Ford Foundation's 25 million grant. Recently added to the campus are a new physics building, new school of business, new graduate school of law, new student union, and undergraduate library.

填空题That can be a good thing, with the Web serving as a kind of buffer zone (缓冲地带) for uncomfortable interaction. It's easier to face rejection, there aren't lulls in conversation or geographic boundaries - and social networking is like a window into the lives of potential mates. Say two people meet on Facebook, though a mutual friend. Immediately, they know whether the other person is single - without having to ask. ______ It's all the details a person might encounter on a first or second date, without ever having to go on one. As David Yarus, a recent graduate of Babson College, outside Boston, puts it: "Facebook has taken the potentially awkward first stages of flirting and getting to know someone into the comfort of your own home. "A. It's easier to approach each other, to talk casually, to get to know one another and feel out romantic potential without ever having to truly put themselves out there.B. "And you don't even have to be on the computer to engage in it. "C. They can see where that person grew up, their political interests, whether they're "looking for a relationship" or only interested in" hooking up. "D. As the thinking went, if you had to go to the Web to find a mate, or break up with one, it must have meant you weren't capable of attracting anyone in the real world.E. Now a relationship may still begin by locking eyes across a crowded bar, but instead of asking for a phone number, the next step almost surely involves a Facebook friendship offer.F. David Hein zinger, a 24 - year - old new - media specialist in New York. recently asked a girl he met at a happy hour to dinner.

填空题Development in Newspaper Organization One of the most important developments in newspaper organization during the first part of the twentieth century 1 , which are known as wire services. Wire service companies employed reporters, who covered stories all over the world. Their news reports were sent to papers throughout the country by telegraph. The papers paid an annual fee for this service. Wire services continue 2 . Today the major wire services are the Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI). You will frequently find AP or UPI at the beginning of a news story. Newspaper chains and mergers began to appear in the early 1900s. A chain consists of two or more newspapers 3 . A merger involves combining two or more papers into one. During the nineteenth century many cities had more than one competitive independent paper. Today in most cities there are only one or two newspapers, and 4 . Often newspapers in several cities belong to one chain. Papers have combined 5 . Chains and mergers have cut down production costs and brought the advantages of big-business methods to the newspaper industry.

填空题3. California University Cuts Protested Thousands of students, faculty members and employees at the 10 University of California campuses protested budget cuts, unpaid faculty furloughs (休假) and tuition increases on Thursday. Officials at the University of California, Berkeley, estimated that several thousand protesters were in Sproul Plaza chanting and waving signs. (46) Other campuses reported smaller turnouts (聚集的人群) at rallies (集会) and marches. "Everyone agrees there is a budget crisis and that the university must respond," said Joshua Clover, an associate professor of English at U. C. Davis who was a co - author of a petition (情愿书) calling for the faculty walkout on Thursday. Mr. Clover said (47) The online walkout petition was signed by 1,221 of the 19,000 faculty members statewide. A union representing more than 11,000 university professional and technical staff members supported the protest and called a one -day strike. (48) The university' s budget now stands at $ 2. 6 billion. Friction (摩擦) has developed between the administration and some faculty and staff members and students over how and where to cut. Among the more contentious (有异议的) items are a proposed 32 percent increase in student tuition by fall 2010, and decisions made by the university president, Mark Yudof, over how to handle mandatory (义务性质的) faculty furlough days, which will reduce pay by 4 to 10 percent. (49) "I chose Berkeley over all the other universities because it offered me a very good education at a price my family could afford," said Brandon Pham, 17, a freshman political science major who skipped the day' s classes in protest. Mr. Pham held a sign that read:" We make the university. They make the crisis. " Steve Montiel, a spokesman for the University of Califomia' s office of the president, said, (50) A. "We respect people expressing themselves, but we hope they realize that the true source of their frustration is in Sacramento at the state capital. "B. The Legislature approved a reduction of $ 637.1 million, about 20 percent of the university' s 2009 -2010 fiscal year (财政年度) financing, as part of the budget agreement reached in August.C. "The problem is that the administration' s handling of the budget cuts disproportionately (不成比例) harms those who can least afford it both among the workers and the students. "D. Average yearly tuition and fees for undergraduates this academic year are $ 8,720.E. Most academic departments on campus reported that some classes had been canceled because faculty members and students walked out.F. Still, many students at Berkeley did not participate in the protest and walked about campus as they would on any other Thursday.
