Our risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors (肿瘤) or doesn’t it? While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing. In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients’ remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups. It’s hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy. A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly. It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes. We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.” 50. Routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because ______. A. it is believed to contribute to a long life B. it is part of their health care package C. they are more sensitive about the health D. they are in greater danger of tumor growth 51. How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly? A. It adds too much to their medical bills. B. It helps increase their life expectancy. C. They are doubtful about necessity. D. They think it does more harm than good. 52. What is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer? A. It applies to women over 50. B. It is a must for adult women. C. It is intended for young women. D. It doesn’t apply to women over 74. 53. Why do many doctors advise routine screening for cancer? A. They want to protect themselves against medical disputes. B. They want to take advantage of the medical care system. C. They want data for medical research. D. They want their patients to suffer less. 54. What does the writer say is the general view about health care? A. The more, the better. B. Prevention is better than cure. C. Better early than late. D. Better care, longer life.

Dear Guys, I’d like to talk to you about the shame you subjected me to last night. Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit, young men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. I, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. That’s when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me. One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to you. Fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed. Before I continue, let me explain something that I didn’t have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. I’m bad at aiming too. So you can understand why I’d be nervous at what I’m sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request. However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, threw it as hard as I could. It hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me. Trying to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, then picked up the ball again. If you’ll remember, at your command, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, Oh God, oh please oh please oh please. I threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next. The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me. This is the point where I start to take issue with you. Wouldn’t it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? I was clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless. Seeing that you weren’t going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding back. I tried hard to throw the ball but it only went about eight feet, then I decided to pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel. Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories aside and picked up the soccer ball for the third time. I forced a good-natured laugh while crying inside as you patiently shouted words of support over the fence at me. “Throw it granny-style!” one of you said. “Just back up a little and give it all you’ve got!” another offered. And, most embarrassing of all, “You can do it!” I know you thought you were being encouraging, but it only served to deepen the shame. Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly. It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me. I surprised myself—and I’m sure you as well—by letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!!!” I then willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so I’d be put out of my misery. Alas, the heart attack didn’t happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had become a sort of exhibition for you. I could feel your collective thoughts drifting through the chain-link: “Can she really not do it? But I mean, really?” Unfortunately for you, I wasn’t really game to continue your experiment. Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two-minute period was just enough blow for me for one night. I picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just come get the damn ball.” And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at people who play sports. Sincerely, Jen Cordery 55. The writer agreed to throw the ball because ______. A. she needed to have a relax carrying the heavy groceries B. she wanted to refresh her childhood memories C. she could not refuse the polite request from the young man D. she had fallen in love with the young man at first sight 56. Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlined word “game”? A. anxious B. brave C. afraid D. curious 57. Why did the writer mention her middle school memory? A. To explain why she failed the attempts to throw the ball back. B. To complain that she had not mastered the ball throwing skills. C. To show how cruel those 13-year-old boys were. D. To express her dislike towards softball. 58. What the boys said before the writer’s third attempt actually made the writer _______. A. inspired B. encouraged C. awkward D. depressed 59. What happened to the ball at last? A. The writer managed to throw the ball back. B. The boy got the ball back by himself. C. The writer threw the ball away out of anger. D. The boys got angry and left without the ball. 60. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this open letter? A. To express her regret over what she did the day before. B. To announce that she would never play ball games again. C. To joke on her inability to throw the ball over the fence. D |

A. Find out recycling programs. B. Set up your own recycling model. C. Help to see its benefits. D. Know what can be recycled. E. Spread the word. F. Get active, not frustrated. Recycling is one means of ensuring that the items we’ve finished using get returned to the resources pool and either get turned into something else or are cleaned and reused. Recycling helps to save on additional energy. Recycling also reduces the amount of material and lessens pollution involved in waste disposal (处理). Once you know how to recycle, you’ll realize it’s not that hard and it soon becomes second habit. 61. ______ Many items are recyclable and over time, more items are added to the list of what can be recycled. Although recycling is dependent on your local conditions, as a general rule, most of the following items are recyclable but you do need to read the policies relevant in your area. Some items can’t be recycled for reasons ranging from complexity to hazards (危险). Although technology continues to change all the time (in which case, keep an eye on what new items can be recycled), there are still some items that cannot be recycled. Don’t put these into the recycling containers because they create problems and can potentially pollute the recyclables too. 62. ______ If you have the time, become a champion for recycling by informing community groups, school children, pre-school groups and other interested groups of the values of recycling and how people can make it easier to do. For activities with children and teens, there are good books and videos that you can use and consider bringing along people from the recycling industry to talk about their role and what they do. 63. ______ Recycling takes up space in the home, so it’s important to work out how to deal with this in a way that doesn’t impact living area space or create danger in any way. There are lots of great choices that you can either buy or make to keep recycling sorted and safe within your home before putting it out for collection. Some of your choices may depend on the preferences of the collector––in some areas, mixing recyclables is just fine, while in others, they’ll only collect separated recyclables or perhaps only collect different types of recyclables on different weeks. If mixing your recycling is not an option, you’ll need some extra sorting space. 64. ______ It is always easier to find holes in commitments to change our practices; it’s a natural human reaction. In the case of recycling, there will always be those who inform you ever so seriously that recycling uses too much energy, that recycled products have to travel far distances, etc. But it is far better to be devoted to getting on with it than to be crying about the uselessness of it all! Moreover, the benefits of recycling, particularly in the areas of job creation, pollution reduction and general community safety, outweigh its negativity. 65. ______ Recycling can turn somewhat frustrating if you’re in a city with very strict boundaries on what can and cannot be recycled due to lack of local facilities. And the more dangerous the waste, the harder it can be to recycle, although many facilities are cropping up to deal with batteries, electronics, and the like. However, it is important to find ways to work around such issues, that work for both you and your community. You can ask for more and better recycling facilities positively through a demonstration of community support, and it’s more likely that your area will get them and that the recycling will become easier for your community.

Last Monday, we were having our Chinese class while the teacher suddenly slipped and fell. We were all worrying about her. One of the boys carried her on the back, under the help of some others, to the clinic immediately. It turned out that her right leg broken and she had to stay in hospital. The following day, we went to visit her with flowers. Seen her lying in bed, we felt sorry for her and hoped that she will recover soon. To our surprised, this Thursday she returned back to the class on a wheelchair to give our lessons. We each were deeply moved and proud of having so a responsible teacher.
