Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and wi-fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. "It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk," said Carpenter.
But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. "I don’t support warning labels for cellphones, " said Linet. "We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger."
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.
1. From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because ____________.
A. they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancer
B. they make a fuss over cellphone use
C. some experts have given a warning
D. cellphones are responsible for brain tumors
2. By saying "I don’t support warning labels for cellphones," Dr Martha Linet has the idea that ____________.
A. the worrying is unnecessary
B. cancer-warning labels should be on cellphones
C. there is a link between cellphones and cancer
D. cellphones have nothing to do with cancer
3. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?
A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Opposite. D. Casual.
4. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Cellphones: is there a cancer link?
B. There is a link between cellphone and cancer
C. A research on the cellphone
D. The cellphone and radiation epidemiology

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both."
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
5. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?
A. To explain what they are.
B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading.
D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
6. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The book.
B. An adventure.
C. A public place.
D. The identification number.
7. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?
A. Meet other readers to discuss it.
B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C. Pass it on to another reader.
D. Mail it back to its owner.
8. What is the best title for the text?
A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour
B. Electronic Books: A new Trend
C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back
D. A Website Links People through Books

【语篇解读】本文讲述了发生在养鸡的农夫Hill先生身上的一件趣事。
1. a 考查冠词。Hill先生是一个养鸡的农夫。这里表示泛指,且chicken的发音是以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。

3. However 考查副词。根据语境,他养鸡赚了很多钱,然而,他发现夏天鸡几乎不下蛋。空处位于句首且空后有逗号隔开,故用表示转折关系的副词However。
4. laid 考查时态。根据全文的时态可知,这里表示发生在过去的事情,需用一般过去时。lay"下(蛋)",其过去式和过去分词均为laid。
5. well 考查副词。根据语境,这里需要用副词修饰动词lay。
6. selling 考查非谓语动词。空处与被修饰词之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系,表示"销售空调的公司",故使用动词-ing形式作定语。
7. When 考查连词。根据语境,这里表示"当他看到Hill先生的房子时",故用When。
8. to buy 考查习惯搭配。persuade sb. to do sth.表示"说服某人做某事",为习惯搭配。
9. happier 考查形容词的比较级。more comfortable与空处并列,且much修饰比较级,故用happy的比较级。
10. interested 考查词形转换。此处表示Hill先生不感兴趣,修饰人应用interested"感兴趣的"。
