B.
Most rain forests lie close to the equator(赤道),where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine.The warmth of the land heats the air above,causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain.The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year.This wet,warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow,so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round.The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate.They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves.The wet air then forms clouds,which hang over the treetops like smoke.These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts,keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.
Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm,but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls.Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon(雨季) begins.Thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest”.
Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains.It is often called the “cloud forest” because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.
The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees.Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds.When the fruits are eaten,the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals’ stomachs and are passed out in their droppings.The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.
4. The climate of the rain forests near the equator is _______.
A. mild,wet and windy B. hot,rainy and foggy
C. hot,wet and cloudy D. warm,wet and sunny
5. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest
B. there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains
C. clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to grow
D. the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees
6. According to the passage,_______ play the most important role in the spreading of seeds.
A. animals B. droppings C. fruits D. winds
7. This passage is most likely to be found in _______.
A. a travel guide B. a story book
C. a technical report D. a geography book
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了不同地区的热带雨林的情况和它们的生存方式以及它们的作用。
【4题详解】
细节理解题，根据第一段“This wet,warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow”可知赤道附近热带雨林的气候是温暖、潮湿、光照强烈的。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts,keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.”可知，这些云保护森林免受白天的高温和附近沙漠夜间的寒冷，使温度适合植物生长。所以这些云给沙漠的植物创造合适的温度来帮助它们生长。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds.”可知植物依靠动物吃掉它们的果实来传播种子。所以动物在种子的传播中起着最重要的作用。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。本文主要介绍了不同地区的热带雨林的情况和它们的生存方式以及它们的作用,由此判断出在地理书上可以读到这篇文章。故选D项。
C
Some animals in the world have a natural ability that human beings don’t have.
Seals may be able to detect （探测）fish up to 100 m away using only their whiskers (胡须), say scientists. Researchers used an artificial（人造的） fish in their experiment, to create a “trail” in the water that a seal could detect. They described how a trained seal, named Henry, was able to indicate（显示）, with a rapid movement of its head, whether the fish moved to the right or to the left.
The study was led by Wolf Hankie of the Marine Science Center at the University of Rostock, Germany. He explained how the seal wore a blindfold (眼罩) and headphones during the experiment to ensure that it could only pick up waves created by the fish with its whiskers. “The animals are actually enthusiastic to wear the mask because it means play time and food rewards,” explained Dr. Hankie.
“We had a small box in the pool to achieve calm water conditions,” he explained. “The seal stayed in the box.” Inside the box, the scientists created a trail with their artificial fish, which was actually a rubber fin (鳍) on a stick that created a trail similar to the swimming motion（运动） of a real fish. They operated the fin from outside the box, moving it from left to right or from right to left. The seal responded to the movement by turning its head in the direction that the fin had moved. The seal was able to sense and indicate the direction in which the fin travelled up to 35 seconds after the movement had stopped.
Dr. Hankie believes that seals may also be able to “analyze” the structure of a trail to “work out” more about its source. He and his colleagues （同事）used different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances. “They seem to be able to detect differences between different shapes, which might even mean that they can make out different species of fish. We had a surprising result from an experiment with one seal following another,” he said. “The trail left by the first seal was two meters wide, and the second following seal was able to stay right in the middle of it, so it seems they can analyze the internal structure of a trail.”
The researchers are now making experiments using live fish to see how closely seals are able to follow their moving path.
8. The underlined word “trail” means ________.
A. signal B. mark
C. wave D. fish
9. Why did Dr. Hankie and his colleagues use different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances
A. To make the result more correct.
B. To find out whether the seal could tell different species of fish.
C. To make the seal more enthusiastic and active.
D. To see if the seal could work out their sources.
10. We can draw a conclusion that seal whiskers are very ________.
A. dull B. sensitive
C. sharp D. poisonous
11. What is the passage mainly talking about
A. Seals can track（追踪） movements in the water.
B. An experiment on seals.
C. Seal whiskers sense faraway fish.
D. Seals can make out different species of fish.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。一项研究结果表明海豹只用胡须就能感知距离比较远的鱼类生物。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。第三段的“He explained how the seal wore a blindfold (眼罩) and headphones during the experiment to ensure that it could only pick up waves created by the fish with its whiskers.( 他解释了海豹在实验过程中是如何戴着眼罩和耳机，以确保它只能使用胡须来接收鱼产生的波浪的 )”可知，这种鱼产生一些波浪，因此推断划线词所在句“Researchers used an artificial（人造的） fish in their experiment, to create a “trail” in the water that a seal could detect.(研究人员在实验中使用了一种人造的鱼，在水中创造了一条海豹可以探测到的“trail”)” 中的trail 是“波浪”之意。故选C项。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“He and his colleagues （同事）used different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances.（他和他的同事使用不同形状的鳍来制造不同的水干扰。）”和“They seem to be able to detect differences between different shapes, which might even mean that they can make out different species of fish. (它们似乎能够检测到不同形状之间的差异，这甚至可能意味着它们可以辨认出不同种类的鱼类。)”可知Hankie博士和他的同事用不同形状的鳍来产生不同的余波，其目的是为了弄清楚海豹是否能够辨别不同的鱼类。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Seals may be able to detect （探测）fish up to 100 m away using only their whiskers (胡须)( 海豹可能只用胡须就能检测到100米外的鱼)”以及倒数第二段的“They seem to be able to detect differences between different shapes, which might even mean that they can make out different species of fish. (它们似乎能够检测到不同形状之间的差异，这甚至可能意味着它们可以辨认出不同种类的鱼类。)”等信息可以看出海豹的胡须非常灵敏。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Seals may be able to detect （探测）fish up to 100 m away using only their whiskers (胡须)( 海豹可能只用胡须就能检测到100米外的鱼)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述海豹使用胡须可以感知距离比较远的不同的鱼类。故选C项。
D
The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. Nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating as well as lighting.
These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves, space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.
WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste, crop waste and charcoal.
The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatermala and Peru,are also at risk.
Nigel Brace is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.There are already multiple technologies available for use in clean fuels.There is really quite an effective and reasonably low-cost alcohol stove made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company) that is now being tested out. LPG (Liquefield Petroleum Gas) cook is obviously widely available and efforts are under way to make those efficient. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves. WHO experts note that some new, safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available. In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8.00. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.00.
But this,the agency says, is just a start. It is urging developing countries to use cleaner fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances/devices.
12. What does the indoor pollution mainly result from
A. Poisonous fuels. B. High technology. C. Space heaters. D. Solar energy.
13. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By showing differences. B. By describing a process.
C. By making a list. D. By analyzing data.
14. What can we infer from the passage
A. Indoor pollution results in some deaths.
B. Most of the deaths are in developing countries.
C. The solid fuels are used in more effective ways.
D. There is no indoor pollution in developed countries.
15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. LPG cooks are being tested out. B. Alcohol stoves are widely used now.
C. Electric induction stoves are expensive. D. Solar lamps are very cheap in Africa.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。世界卫生组织警告称，每年有数百万人死于室内空气污染。近30亿人无法使用清洁燃料和技术来做饭、取暖和照明。文章说明了室内污染导致死亡的主要原因、引发疾病以及应对措施等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves, space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.(这些发现表明，在低效的炉子、空间加热器或照明中使用致命燃料是造成许多死亡的原因)”可知，室内污染的主要原因是有毒燃料。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste, crop waste and charcoal.(世卫组织官员说，室内污染会导致中风、心脏病和肺病、儿童肺炎和肺癌等疾病的过早死亡。妇女和女童是主要受害者。这些疾病往往是由燃烧固体燃料引起的。这些燃料包括木材、煤炭、动物粪便、作物粪便和木炭)”可推知，第三段主要是通过列举来展开的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatermala and Peru,are also at risk.(联合国发现，撒哈拉以南非洲地区超过95%的家庭依靠固体燃料做饭。该组织说，印度、中国以及危地马拉和秘鲁等拉美国家的大量人口也面临风险)”可推知，大多数死亡发生在发展中国家。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.00.(在非洲，你花不到1美元就能买到一盏太阳能灯)”可知，D选项“太阳能灯在非洲很便宜”正确。故选D。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。
Planting trees contribute to a good environment. And correct planting methods can help a tree grow healthily. ____16____ One of them is choosing an improper planting place, which may be harmful to the tree. Some soils aren’t good for planting some trees. ____17____ It’ll help you determine the kind of fertilizer necessary for the tree.
Digging a hole too deep or too narrow is also a mistake we tend to make while planting a tree. If the hole is dug too deep, the roots don’t get enough oxygen, resulting in bad growth of the tree. Besides, a narrow hole won’t allow the roots to expand or support the tree family. ____18____ Ideally, the planting hole for a tree should be twice as wide and deep as the root ball.
To protect the roots of a tree, we need to put a mulch(护根) on them. First of all, it’s really important to select the right type of mulch.____19____ In addition, we must use a proper amount of mulch. Too much mulching may cause damage to the roots, while less mulching may result in dryness around the roots.
____20____Walk around the trees to recognize the problems that have appeared, and fix them before they go out of control.
A. Different species require different planting places.
B. Most newly planted trees die because of lack of mulch.
C. However, there are some mistakes we often make while planning trees.
D. We should make our choice based on the plant species and the type of soil.
E. So having a soil test before deciding on the planting place would be wiser.
F. The most important thing is to monitor/watch over the growth of trees on a regular basis.
G. This may weaken the tree and its ability to stand up to unfavorable weather conditions.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【分析】
【16题详解】
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了正确的树木种植方式能够帮助树木健康的成长。错误的方式对树木的成长有害。文章提到了几种错误的方式：在不合适的地方种植，树坑挖得太深或太窄等。
上文“And correct planting methods can help a tree grow healthily.( 正确的种植方法能帮助树木健康生长。)”说明树木正确的种植方式有利于树木健康生长，空后面一句中的one of them (他们中的一个)说明设空处出现了一个复数名词，根据空后句“One of them is choosing an improper planting place, which may be harmful to the tree. Some soils aren’t good for planting some trees.(其中之一是选择一个不合适的种植地点，这可能会对树木有害。有些土壤不利于植树)”得知，第一段说的是一些种树要避免的误区，C选项 “然而，我们在规划树时经常会犯一些错误。”符合语境，与上文是转折关系。故选C。
【17题详解】
空前一句“Some soils aren’t good for planting some trees.( 有些土壤不利于植树。)”和空后面一句“It’ll help you determine the kind of fertilizer necessary for the tree.(它将帮助你决定树木所需要的肥料类型。)说明空里会出现一个名词单数，E选项里的having a soil test与这句切题。因此推断E项 (在决定种植的地方之前做一个土壤测试，是比较明智的)符合语境，说明测试土壤帮助你决定树木所需肥料。故选E。
【18题详解】
上文“Digging a hole too deep or too narrow is also a mistake we tend to make while planting a tree. If the hole is dug too deep, the roots don’t get enough oxygen, resulting in bad growth of the tree. Besides, a narrow hole won’t allow the roots to expand or support the tree family.( 洞挖得太深或太窄也是我们在种树时容易犯的错误。如果洞挖得太深，树根得不到足够的氧气供应，会导致生长不当，狭窄的洞不允许根生长不能支持树的正常生长)”可知，这一段讲的是挖坑的大小带来的影响，洞太深，根就不能得到足够的氧气，会导致树木长的不好，洞太窄也不能让根扩展，稳稳地支撑住树木。G选项“这可能会削弱这棵树以及它抵御不利天气条件的能力”符合语境，仍然在说洞不合适带来的坏处。G选项This指的就是前一句的树洞太窄。故选G。
【19题详解】
上文“To protect the roots of a tree, we need to put a mulch(护根) on them. First of all, it’s really important to select the right type of mulch.(为了保护树，我们需要给他们放置一些护根。首先，选择合适种类的护根很重要。)”说明要选择合适的护根保护树，D项中的“make our choice”与上文的“select”一致，因此推断D项“我们应该根据植物种类和土壤的类型来做出选择。”符合语境。故选D。
【20题详解】
空后面一句“Walk around the trees to recognize the problems that have appeared, and fix them before they go out of control. (在树周围来回走动，检查已经出现的问题。)”， F中的“monitor(监控)”相符，因此推断F项“最重要的是要进行常规监测/观察树木的生长情况”符合语境。故选F。

阅读10个句子，在空白处填入适当内容(一个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
36. It is argued that ________ (set) up national parks is beneficial to the protection of nature.（所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】setting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：关于建立国家公园有益于自然保护的话题被争论。分析可知，It 是形式主语，那么空格处就是that引导的真正的主语。在that 引导的主语从句中，空格处作主语，要用动名词。故填setting。
37. Learning a foreign language, believe it or not, is ________ can change you for the better.（用适当的词填空）
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：信不信由你，学习一门外语会让你变得更好。分析句子可知，系动词is后接表语从句，从句缺少主语，根据句意，此处表示“……的（东西）”，故用连接代词what，故填what。
38. China has also made rapid progress in space exploration, ________(compare) with some developed countries. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】compared
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：与一些发达国家相比，中国在太空探索方面也取得了快速进展。此处与主语China是逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词，表被动。故填compared。
39. No sooner________ he finished reading, stretching out than a librarian entered the room. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】had
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和倒装句。句意：他刚读完，在舒展身体，一个图书管理员就走进了房间。no sooner....than “一……就……” 引导时间状语从句，主句用过去完成时，从句用一般过去时，表示主句的动作先于从句动作发生，no sooner置句首，主句使用部分倒装，将助动词had置于主语之前。故填had。
40. The hunting of Tibetan antelopes ________(ban) on the grounds that it is illegal. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】is banned
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意：禁止猎捕藏羚羊，理由是这是非法的。根据句意以及“ it is illegal.”可知，本句为一般现在时，主语The hunting of Tibetan antelopes 与ban在逻辑上是被动关系，所以本句为一般现在时的被动语态。故填is banned。
41. ________ (incredible), my friend will be visiting adorable sea animals in a superb aquarium in Beijing. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】Incredibly
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：令人难以置信的是，我的朋友将在北京的一个超级水族馆里参观可爱的海洋动物。此处修饰整句话，应用副词，作状语。故填Incredibly。
42. If the company prevents the effective measures from________ (adopt), it will suffer great losses. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】being adopted
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：如果公司阻止采取有效的措施，它将遭受巨大的损失。prevent...from doing sth.“阻止……做某事”，且adopt与逻辑主语measures是被动关系，故用动名词的被动式作宾语，故填being adopted。
43. Within many theme park ________ (boundary), there are a wide variety of activities, appealing to both children and adults. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】boundaries
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：在许多主题公园的范围内，有各种各样的活动，吸引儿童和成人。boundary为可数名词，且有many修饰，所以用复数形式。故填boundaries。
44. ________ (surround) the village, as I can remember, is a broad clean river, which brought great joy in his childhood. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】Surrounding
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在我的记忆中，环绕着村庄的是一条宽阔干净的河流，这给他的童年带来了巨大的欢乐。此处为倒装句，现在分词提前引起的倒装，构成“分词+系动词+主语”，village与surround构成主动关系，应用现在分词，是句子主要强调的部分，主语 a broad clean river后移至助动词之后的句末位置，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Surrounding。
45. The Sami people mainly live ________ the reindeer, always on the move, which provide the Sami people with food and clothes. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】off##on
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：萨米人主要靠四处迁徙的驯鹿为生，为萨米人提供食物和衣服。结合句意表示“以……为生”短语为live off或live on。故填off/on。

Most rain forests lie close to the equator(赤道) where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine.The warmth of the land heats the air above,causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain.The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year.This wet,warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow,so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round.The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate.They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves.The wet air then forms clouds,which hang over the treetops like smoke.These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night-time cold of nearby deserts,keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.
Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm,but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls.Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon(雨季) begins.Thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest”.
Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains.It is often called the “cloud forest” because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.
The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees.Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds.When the fruits are eaten,the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals’ stomachs and are passed out in their droppings.The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.
4. The climate of the rain forests near the equator is _______.
A. mild,wet and windy B. hot,rainy and foggy
C. hot,wet and cloudy D. warm,wet and sunny
5. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest
B. there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains
C. clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to grow
D. the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees
6. According to the passage,_______ play the most important role in the spreading of seeds.
A. animals B. droppings C. fruits D. winds
7. This passage is most likely to be found in _______.
A. a travel guide B. a story book
C. a technical report D. a geography book
C
Some animals in the world have a natural ability that human beings don’t have.
Seals may be able to detect （探测）fish up to 100 m away using only their whiskers (胡须), say scientists. Researchers used an artificial（人造的） fish in their experiment, to create a “trail” in the water that a seal could detect. They described how a trained seal, named Henry, was able to indicate（显示）, with a rapid movement of its head, whether the fish moved to the right or to the left.
The study was led by Wolf Hankie of the Marine Science Center at the University of Rostock, Germany. He explained how the seal wore a blindfold (眼罩) and headphones during the experiment to ensure that it could only pick up waves created by the fish with its whiskers. “The animals are actually enthusiastic to wear the mask because it means play time and food rewards,” explained Dr. Hankie.
“We had a small box in the pool to achieve calm water conditions,” he explained. “The seal stayed in the box.” Inside the box, the scientists created a trail with their artificial fish, which was actually a rubber fin (鳍) on a stick that created a trail similar to the swimming motion（运动） of a real fish. They operated the fin from outside the box, moving it from left to right or from right to left. The seal responded to the movement by turning its head in the direction that the fin had moved. The seal was able to sense and indicate the direction in which the fin travelled up to 35 seconds after the movement had stopped.
Dr. Hankie believes that seals may also be able to “analyze” the structure of a trail to “work out” more about its source. He and his colleagues （同事）used different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances. “They seem to be able to detect differences between different shapes, which might even mean that they can make out different species of fish. We had a surprising result from an experiment with one seal following another,” he said. “The trail left by the first seal was two meters wide, and the second following seal was able to stay right in the middle of it, so it seems they can analyze the internal structure of a trail.”
The researchers are now making experiments using live fish to see how closely seals are able to follow their moving path.
8. The underlined word “trail” means ________.
A. signal B. mark
C. wave D. fish
9 Why did Dr. Hankie and his colleagues use different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances
A To make the result more correct.
B. To find out whether the seal could tell different species of fish.
C. To make the seal more enthusiastic and active.
D. To see if the seal could work out their sources.
10. We can draw a conclusion that seal whiskers are very ________.
A. dull B. sensitive
C. sharp D. poisonous
11. What is the passage mainly talking about
A. Seals can track（追踪） movements in the water.
B. An experiment on seals.
C. Seal whiskers sense faraway fish.
D. Seals can make out different species of fish.
D
The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. Nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating as well as lighting.
These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves, space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.
WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste, crop waste and charcoal.
The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatermala and Peru,are also at risk.
Nigel Brace is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool.
