Using HIV Virus to Cure Cancer
Scientistsare planning to use human immunodeficiency(免疫缺陷)virus(HIV), one ofmankind’s most feared viruses, as a carrier of genes which can fightcancer and a range of diseases that cannot be cured. The experts sayHIV has an almost perfect ability to avoid the body’simmune(免疫的)defenses, making it ideal for carrying replacement genesinto patients’ bodies, according to the Observer.
A team at theCalifornia-based Salk Institute, one of the world’s leading researchcenters on biological sciences, has created a special new breed of HIVand has started negotiations with the U>S> Food and DrugAdministration(FDA)to begin clinical gene therapy(治疗) trials this year.The first trials are expected to involve patients suffering fromcancers that cannot be cured by surgery although project leaderProfessor Inder Verma said the HIV technique would have” far widerapplications”.
The plan remains very likely to cause controversysince it involves making use of a virus which has caused more than 22million deaths around the world in the past two decades. Verma saidthat the idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose was “shocking” butthe fierce nature of HIV had disappeared by having all six of thepotentially deadly genes removed.
Illnesses such as various cancersare caused when a gene in a patient’s body fails to work properly. Inthe past two years, breakthroughs in genetics(遗传学)have led gene therapyscientists to try and replace the genes that do not function normally.
Unfortunately,the body’s immune defenses have been known to attack the modified genesand make them lose their effects before they can start their task andprogress in the field has been held up by the lack of a suitablecarrier.           
The HIV virus has the ability to escape from,and then destroy, the immune defense cells designed to protect ourbodies and this makes it attractive to scientists as a way of secretlyconveying replacement genes into patients’ bodies.
16           FDA has approved the plan of using HIV to cure cancer in humans.
     A  Right             B  Wrong             C  Not mentioned   
17           The idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose has been widely accepted.
     A  Right             B  Wrong             C  Not mentioned   
18           HIV can be safely used to cure cancer only if the deadly genes have been removed.
     A  Right             B  Wrong             C  Not mentioned   
19           The HIV virus is an excellent warrior to fight the body’s immune cells.
     A  Right             B  Wrong             C  Not mentioned   
20           Other countries are also expected to begin clinical gene therapy trials soon.
     A  Right             B  Wrong             C  Not mentioned   
21           It is the lack of money that has held up the progress in using replacement genes to cure cancer.
     A  Right             B  Wrong             C  Not mentioned   
22           The HIV virus has caused more deaths in developed countries.

A  Right              B  Wrong             C  Not mentioned

第一篇　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Giving Up Smoking
Anumber of devices are available to help a person quit smoking.Nicotine(尼古丁) patches are small, nicotine-containing adhesive(粘着性的)discs applied to the skin. The nicotine is slowly absorbed through theskin and enters the bloodstream. Over time, the nicotine dose isreduced and eventually the desire for nicotine is eased. Nicotine gumworks in a similar manner, providing small doses of nicotine whenchewed.
The benefits of giving up smoking include the immediatereduction of harm to the health of the smoking and easily admission tosocial activities and institutions that ban smoking. In a 1988 report,the U.S. Surgeon General declared cigarette smoking to be more harmfuland expensive than the use of cocaine (可卡因), alcohol, or heroin. Recentevidence supports this claim.
The United States government hascollected a special tax on cigarettes for several decades. The raterose from 8 cents per pack of 20 cigarettes in 1951 to 24 cents perpack in 1993. In other developed countries, the cigarette tax rate ismuch higher, ranging from 50 percent in Switzerland to 85 percent inDenmark.
In the United States, the first direct action to checksmoking was the regulation of a warming on cigarette packages by theFederal Trade Commission. This warning took effect in 1964 and wasstrengthened in 1969 to read:“Warning: The Surgeon General HasDetermined That Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health.”In 1971all cigarette advertising was banned from radio and television, andcities and states passed laws requiring nonsmoking sections in publicplaces and workplaces.

第二篇　　　　　　　Effects of Exercise on Elderly Diabetics(糖尿病人)
 
Mostolder people with so-called type II diabetes(糖尿病) could stop takinginsulin(胰岛素) if they would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just theretimes a week , according to new medical research results reported in aCopenhagen newspaper, Results from tests conducted on diabetics at theCopenhagen central hospital Rigshospitalet’s Center for Muscle Researchshowed that physical exercise can boost the body’s ability to make useof insulin by 30 per cent. This is equal to the effect most elderlydiabetics get from their insulin medication(药物治疗) today.
Researchershad a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type IIdiabetes, all more than 60 years of age, exercise on bicycles six timesa week for three months. After the three months the doctors measuredhow much sugar the test subjects’ muscles could make use of as ameasure for how well their insulin worked.
Associate Professor DrFlemming Dela of the Muscle Research Center said the tests demonstratedthat the exercising diabetics had made as good use of insulin as thehealthy non-diabetic persons. “This means that the insulin works justas well for both group. Physical exercise cannot cure people ofdiabetes, but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms. At the sametime it can put off the point at which they have to begin takinginsulin,” Dela said.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas(胰腺) , controlling sugar in the body and is used against diabetes.
Delasaid that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need only exercise tothe point where they begin to sweat, but that the activity has to bemaintained since it wears off after five days without sufficientexercise.
Most diabetics realize that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of exercise, Dela added.
 
36. What is the effect of exercise on elderly people with type II diabetes?
A.　It can worsen their symptoms.
B.　It can help the body make better use of insulin.
C.　It can help them to eat more.
D.  It can cure them of the disease.
37. The exercise that the researchers tried on their test subjects was
A.　cycling six times a week for three months.
B. walking briskly for thirty minutes three times a week.
C. swimming twice a day.
D. running once a day.
38. The researchers checked how well the test subjects’ insulin worked by measuring
A. the blood sugar level in their bodies.
B. the length of time they could cycle in one breath.
C. the amount of sugar their muscles could make use of.
D. the amount of insulin they took.
39. It is recommended that diabetics maintain sufficient exercise since otherwise
A. their symptoms will get worse.
B. the blood sugar level will go up.
C. their condition will be out of control.

第三篇                             First     Aid
Firstaid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury untilmore skillful medical treatment is available.

In the case ofthe critically injured, a few minutes can make the difference betweencomplete recovery and loss of life.
First-aid measures depend upon avictim’s needs and the provider’s level of knowledge and skill. Knowingwhat not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do.Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead topermanent spinal(脊柱的) injury and paralysis(瘫痪).

Despite thevariety of injuries possible, several principles of first aid apply toall emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medicalhelp. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aidhas been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid.Next, assess, the scene, asking other people or the injured person’sfamily or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care thatmay have already been given ,and preexisting conditions such asdiabetes(糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for amedical bracelet(手镯)or card that describes special medical conditions.Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may sufferfurther injury, do not move the victim.
First aid requires rapidassessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditionsexist. One method for evaluating a victim’s condition is known by theacronym(首字母缩写词)ABC, which stands for:
A---Airway: Is it open and clear?
B---Breathing: Is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing.
C---Circulation:Is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding externally? Check skin colorand temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.

Lowering the Risk of Heart Disease
Likemillions of other Americans, I come from a family with a history of theheart disease. My father had his first three heart attacks when he wasonly thirty-one. _____________(46) I grew up with heart disease. It wasthere, but I didn’t take it seriously.
When I was thirty-one, myblood cholesterol（胆固醇）level was measured for the first time. It was 311mg/dl, the doctor told me- an extremely high level that put me at avery high high risk of heart disease, especially with my familyhistory. He sent me to the National Institutes of Health（NIH）to bescreened for participation in a clinical trial._____________(47)
AtNIH, physicians explained the degree of risk associated with my bloodcholesterol level and the nature of the experiment. This test involvesputting a tube through a leg artery（动脉） up to theheart._____________（48）
Learning about the risks of the experimentas well as the risk associated with my raised blood cholesterol levelscared the life out of me. Although I was excluded from participatingin the study, the experience may well have saved my life.
For thefirst time, I began to realize the seriousness of high bloodcholesterol.___________(49) But equally important, I got a taste ofwhat it is like to be a patient, to have tests done on me and to thinkof myself as sick. This was hard to take.
This experience taught metwo lifesaving lessons. First, although I felt fit and strong, I wasactually at high risk for heart disease because of my high bloodcholesterol level. And with my family history, it could not beignored.________________(50)
 
A Second, I could lower my blood cholesterol level simply by changing what I ate.
B I was three years old at that time.
C There is not enough oxygen in the blood.
D It was a heart attack just waiting to happen
E The trial was designed to test the effect of lowering blood cholesterol on the risk of heart disease.
F The death rate for the test was only 1 in 100, I was assured.
