单选题 U.S. Blacks Hard Hit by Cancer Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans. But black Americans are still more likely to die of cancer than whites, the American Cancer Society said Monday. In a special report on cancer and blacks, the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites, and they are more likely to die of the disease. This could be because of unequal (不平等的) access to medical Care. Because blacks are more likely to have other diseases as well, and perhaps because of differences in the biology (生物学) of the cancer itself, the report added. "In general, black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis." the report said. "In describing cancer statistics for black Americans, this report recognizes that many of the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic differences and unequal access to medical care." The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups (体格检查) earlier, when cancer is more treatable. And it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role. "The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts," the organization said in a statement. But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates. "Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among black Americans since 1992, as have incidence rates (发生率)," said the report.

If more come they may produce not only new quotas, but a surplus as well. In such a state of things land is{{U}} (51) {{/U}}and cheap. The possession of it{{U}} (52) {{/U}}no power or privilege. No one will work for another for wages{{U}} (53) {{/U}}he can take up new land and be his own master. Hence it will pay no one to own more land than he can cultivate by his own labor, or with such aid as his own family{{U}} (54) {{/U}}. Hence, again, land{{U}} (55) {{/U}}little or no rent; there will be no landlords living on rent and no laborers living on{{U}} (56) {{/U}}, but only a middle class of yeoman farmers(自耕农). All are{{U}} (57) {{/U}}on an equality, and democracy becomes the political form, because this is the only state of society in which equality, on which democracy is based, is realized as a fact. The same effects are powerfully{{U}} (58) {{/U}}by other facts. In a new and under-populated country the industries which are most profitable are the extractive industries. The{{U}} (59) {{/U}}of these, with the exception of some kinds of mining, is that they call{{U}} (60) {{/U}}only a low organization of labor and small amount of cap ital. Hence they allow the workman to become{{U}} (61) {{/U}}his own master, and they educate him to freedom, independence, and self reliance. At the same time, the social groups being only{{U}} (62) {{/U}}marked off from each other, it is easy to{{U}} (63) {{/U}}from one class of occupations, and consequently from one social grade, to another. Finally, under the same circumstances, education, skill, and superior training have but inferior value compared with what they have in{{U}} (64) {{/U}}populated countries. The{{U}} (65) {{/U}}lie in an under-populated country, with the coarse, unskilled, manual occupations, and not with the highest developments of science, literature, and art.

单选题The American Industry A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap (阻碍), but, if properly handled, it may become a driving force. When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War, it had a market eight times larger than any competitor, giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale. Its scientists were the world"s best, its workers the most skilled. America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed. It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably, the retreat from predominance proved painful. By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness. Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition. By 1987 there was only one American television maker left, Zenith. (Now there is none: Zenith was bought by South Korea"s LG Electronics in July.) Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America"s machine-tool industry was on the ropes. For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors, which America had sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty. All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted. They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing, and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America"s industrial decline. Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas. How things have changed! In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle. Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride. "American industry has changed its structure, has gone on a diet, and has learnt to be more quick-witted," according to Richard Cavanagh, executive dean of Harvard"s Kennedy School of Government. "It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity," says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, a think-tank in Washington, D.C. And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as "a golden age of business management in the United States".

单选题Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business.A. significantB. accurateC. acuteD. cruel

单选题 The Case of the Disappearing Fingerprints One useful anti-cancer drug can effectively erase the whorls and other characteristic marks that give people their distinctive fingerprints (指纹). Losing them could become troublesome. A case {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}online in a letter by Annals of Oncology (肿瘤学) indicates how big a {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}of losing fingerprints is. Eng-Huat Tan, a Singapore-based medical doctor describes a 62-year old man who has used capecitabine to {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}his nasopharyngeal cancer(鼻咽癌). After three years on the {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}, the patient decided to visit U. S. relatives last December. But he was stopped by U. S. customs officials {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}4 hours after entering the country when those officials couldn't get fingerprints from the man. There were no {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}swirly marks appearing from his index finger. U. S. customs has been fingerprinting incoming foreign visitors for years, Tan says. Unfortunately, for the Singaporean traveler, one potential {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}effect of his drug treatment is a smoothing of the tissue on the finger pads. {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}},no fingerprints. "It is uncertain when fingerprint {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}will begin to take place in patients who are taking capecitabine," Tan points out. So he {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}any physicians who prescribe the drag to provide their patients with a doctor's {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}pointing out that their medicine may cause fingerprints to disappear. Eventually, the Singapore traveler made it into the United States. I guess the name on his passport didn't raise any red flags. But he's also now got the explanatory doctor's note—and won't leave home {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}it. By the way, maybe the Food and Drug Administration (美国食品药物管理局), {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}approved use of the drug 11 years ago, should consider updating its list of side effects {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}with this medicine. The current list does note that patients may experience vomiting (呕吐), stomach pain and some other side effects. But no where {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}it mention the potential for loss of fingerprints.

The idea was to cap the glorious achievement of 1980, when smallpox was eradicated in the wild, by destroying the killer virus in the last two labs that are supposed to have it -- one in the US and one in Russia. If smallpox had truly gone from the planet, what point was there in keeping these reserves? {{U}} (51) {{/U}}reality, of course, it was naive to{{U}} (52) {{/U}}that everyone would let{{U}} (53) {{/U}}of such a potent potential weapon. Undoubtedly several nations still have{{U}} (54) {{/U}}vials.{{U}} (55) {{/U}}the last "official" stocks of live virus bred mistrust of the US and Russia,{{U}} (56) {{/U}}no obvious gain. Now American researchers have{{U}} (57) {{/U}}an animal model of the human disease, opening the{{U}} (58) {{/U}}for tests on new treatments and vaccines.
