26、Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. When it comes to cancer, the sooner you know you have it, the better your chances of surviving. A new blood test could change the way doctors and researchers find cancer in patients. Researchers say the test could provide evidence to the early forms of the disease.

Scientists at Swansea University in Wales came up with the idea. Gareth Jenkins is a professor at the university. “ In this blood test we don’t measure the presence of cancer; we measure the presence of mutant red blood cells which are collateral(附属的) damage that occurs---a by-product of the cancer developing.”

The researchers used normal laboratory equipment to perform the test. This equipment looks for changes in the structure of millions of red blood cells. Those mutant cells lack a surface protein that healthy cells normally have. “The main purpose of the test is to look for very rare cells which have picked up a mutation. The number of mutant red blood cells in a healthy person is around 5 or so per million. You have to look at millions of red blood cells to detect those rare events. These numbers increase in cancer patients---they go up to 40 or 50 mutants on average.”

The researchers tested blood from about 300 people, all of whom have cancer of the esophagus(食道). Patients with esophageal cancer have high levels of mutant red blood cells. Jenkins says that at this point he is not sure if other cancers will produce similar results.

The hope is that the new test and other non-invasive methods could one day become part of commonly used medical methods. He says that using a battery, or series, of tests will be the best way to find out if a person has cancer. These new technologies could save millions of lives.

【1】According to the test, how do scientists find out if a person has cancer?

A．By calculating the speed of changes in the structure.

B．By observing the surface protein.

C．By looking for changes in the number of mutant red blood cells.

D．By measuring the presence of cancer.

【2】What does the underlined word “mutant” in the 3rd paragraph mean?

A．Decreased.

B．Changed.

C．Increased.

D．Multiplied.

【3】The author adopts a/an tone in the passage.

A．humorous

B．favorable

C．critical

D．objective

【4】In which section of a website can you most probably find the passage?

A．Health.

B．Fashion.

C．Education.

D．Culture.

27、Thank You Notes: The Essential Life Lessons

There is no greater gift for any of us to give our friends and family than the gift of gratitude. 【1】Take a quiet moment to think about the blessings of the season and write a thank you note to everyone who made it special for you. There are some life lessons from thank you notes.

【2】Even a child can make some lines on paper, help pick out a pretty stamp, and lick the envelope. This helps create a sense of ownership, confidence, and contribution.

Thank you notes strengthen communication skills. Wherever you are, no skill matters more than the ability to communicate clearly and sincerely. It conveys reliability, confidence and thoughtfulness.【3】

Thank you notes remind you about what matters.【4】 But when we write a thank you note we have to locate within ourselves some way to be grateful and find some way to express it. We do not find happiness in what we get. We find happiness in being grateful for what we have.

【5】 Not, “Thank you for the sweater. It is cool.” but “Thanks for the sweater!” Not, “Thanks for the game,” but “We had a blast playing that game.”

I think you will soon discover that the more thank you notes you send, the more you become aware of how much there is to be grateful for, and how good it feels to let people know you appreciate them.

A．Everyone can write a thank you note.

B．Maybe the gift was thoughtless.

C．And that can begin with thank you notes.

D．Thank you notes must have specific details.

E．There is no other way to convey this message.

F．You can even write to people you do not know.

G．Those are the qualities that inspire people to trust and respect you.

29、I grew up in California but have spent about four years living in various parts of the UK. The first thing I noticed was that my West-Midlands host family did not sound like the queen. I’ve since learnt that accents change almost every five miles. As far as America goes. I can tell the West Coast from the East or the South, but I can’t tell you a state, much less a county (郡).

The next thing I couldn’t imagine was the quiet, stare-ahead norm of public transportation- if you talk to somebody on the Tube, you’re probably a serial killer or a lost tourist.

I’ve had to deal with the Tube from Heathrow to Victoria with heavy bags more times and Victoria Station is not exactly tourist friendly. Each time I’ve had someone walk up and ask to help with my bags. Not once have they been English. In America, at least from what I’ve experienced, people will start a chat if they see you’re travelling by yourself, and I always immediately have someone taller offer to put my things in an overhead bin (行李箱).

Opening hours-especially Sunday trading laws have also taken so much to get used to. In America, 24/7 fast food, grocery stores. petrol stations, etc. are the norm. In my first year in the UK,I forgot it was Easter Sunday, and went into town at 2：00 pm. Imagine my surprise when 1 found the city center was deserted, and there wasn’t a single car at Tesco. Approaching the building, I saw a large sign announcing opening times. I had to make do with plain bread until 9：00 am Monday, when I’d be able to pay for groceries again.

Speaking of groceries, it took so many people telling me I was crazy to convince me to eat eggs here- they’re not refrigerated, and they’ll often have bits of feather or chicken waste on the outside. 1 am now aware that they ‘re safe, but coming from a childhood of perfectly clean, white, large AAA eggs, I was convinced I’d die a terrible salmonella (沙门氏菌) death.

【1】What’s the author’s impression of the transportation of the UK?

A．It’s very dangerous to use public transportations.

B．It’s easy for a tourist 10 get lost on public transportations.

C．British people willingly offer help on public transportations.

D．British people don’t talk to each other on public transportations.

【2】What happened on Easter Sunday in the author’s first year in the UK?

A．He left the city center.

B．He failed to buy any food.

C．A supermarket closed down.

D．A restaurant opened in a tall building.

【3】What is a good suggestion to a foreigner in the UK?

A．Try to speak like the queen.

B．Avoid eating unhealthy eggs.

C．Store some plain bread in the fridge.

D．Pay attention to the opening hours of the shops.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．How to Get Used to Life in the UK

B．What do I Find Strange about the UK

C．How Difficult It Is to Travel in the UK

D．What Can a Foreigner Expect in the UK
