U. S. Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer

Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans, but black Americans are still more likely to die of cancer than whites, the American Cancer Society said Monday.＜br＞

In a special report on cancer and blacks, the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites, and they are more likely to die of the disease. This could be because of unequal (不平等的) access to medical care, because blacks are more likely to have other diseases as well, and perhaps because of differences in the biology (生物学) of the cancer itself, the report added.＜br＞

"In general, black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis," the report said.＜br＞

"In describing cancer statistics for black Americans, this report recognizes that many of the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic differences and unequal access to medical care."＜br＞

The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups (体格检查) earlier,when cancer is more treatable, and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role.＜br＞

"The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts," the organization said in a statement.＜br＞

But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.＜br＞

"Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among black Americans since 1992, as have incidence rates (发生率) ," said the report.＜

Black Americans arc more likely to die of cancer than__________. 查看材料

A.people in other countries

B.white Americans

C.all other Americans

D.their ancestors

请根据短文内容，回答题。

Traffic Jams——No End in Sight

(1) Traffic congestion (拥堵) affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U. S., commuters (通勤人员 ) spend an average of a full working week each year sitting in traffic jams, according to the Texas Transportation Institute. While alternative ways of getting around are available, most people still choose their cars because they are looking for convenience, comfort and privacy.＜br＞

(2) The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing, whereby cities charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times of day. In theory, if the toll is high enough, some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train. And in practice it seems to work: Singapore, London and Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centres thanks to congestion pricing.＜br＞

(3) Another way to reduce rush-hour traffic is for employers to implement flextime, which lets employees travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy times can do their part by sharing cars. Employers can also allow more staff to telecommute (work from home) so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.＜br＞

(4) Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads, especially roads that can take drivers around or over crowded city streets. But such techniques do not really keep cars off the road; they only accommodate more of them.＜br＞

(5) Other, more forward-thinking, planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the roads every day, and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles when public transport is so much better both for people and the environment. For this reason, the American government has decided to spend some $7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public-transportsystemsandupgradethemwithmoreefficienttechnologies.But＜br＞

environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the $50 billion being spent on roads and bridges.

Paragraph 1 __________ 查看材料

A.Paying to get in

B.Changing work practice

C.Not doing enough

D.A solution which is no solution

F.A global problem

Labor Market Decline

The decline of the labor market is easy to misinterpret (interpret). There are many reasons for that. During the 1970s, large numbers of women and young adults (1) (bear) during the baby boom entered into the work force. That (2) (result) in too many workers for the jobs available and depressed wages. The decline also has something to do with the explosive (3) (grow) in world trade since 1960. As (4) .(manufacture) technologies have become more mobile, production jobs have (5) (move) from the U. S. to countries where wages are low. In (6) (add), technology itself has helped to cause the shifts in the job market. For example, (7) (few) American workers are needed to make steel today than in the past, because new (8) (machine) have made many of their tasks (9) (necessary). Finally, the high rate of (10) (employment) caused by these factors has tended to drive wages down further.

U. S. Life Expectancy Hite New High

Life expectancy rates in the United States are al an all—time high, with people born in

2005 projected to live for nearly 78 years, a new federal study finds.

The finding reflects a continuing trend of increasing life expectancy that began in l955, when the average American lived to be 69.6 years old. By l995, lire expectancy was 75.8 years and by 2006, it had risen to 77. 9 years, according to the report released Wednesday.

"This is good news," said report co-author Donna Hoyert, a health scientist at the national Center for Health Statistics. “It's even better news that it is a continuation of trends, so it is a long period of continuing improvement."

Despite the upward trend, the United States still has lower lire expectancy than some 40 other countries, according to the U. S. Census （人口普查） Bureau. The country with the longest lire expectancy is Andorra at 83.5 years, followed by Japan, Macau, San Marino and Singapore.

Much of the increase owes to declining death rates from the three leading causes of death in the country-heart disease, cancer and stroke.

In addition, in 2005, the U. S. death rate dropped to an all-time low of less than 800 deaths per l00, 000.

Dr. David Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School Medicine. Said, "News that lire expectancy is increasing is, of course, good. But the evidence we have suggests that there is more chronic disease than ever in the U. S."

Adding years to life is a good thing, Katz said. "But adding vital life to years is at least equally important. If we care about living well, and not just longer, we still have our work cut out for us." he said.

31 Since l 955, lire expectancy rates in the U. S. have

A moved up and down. B been declining.

C remained steady. D been on the rise.

根据下面内容，回答题：

A

This classic cross-culture book provides reading passages， culture notes， and discussion topics which focus on values， behaviours， attitudes and communication styles. It features a chapter on cultural diversity in the U. S. ， an explanation of mainstream U. S. values with examples which reveal some of the more hidden aspects of culture， examples of cross-cultural differences in a wide variety of cultures， and extensive readings and exercises.

B

As a multistand course——organized according to functions， discussion techniques and communication concepts——this text develops the speaking skills of business professionals or business students. It is easily adaptable to differing class sizes， student needs and interests. A special feature of the course is its carefully staged discussion activities which structure and facilitate group partici- pation.

C

This series is intended for students now ready to approach English literature. Each book deals with both the literary and the language aspects of their texts. Some exercises focus on a personal response， others on discussing literary qualities such as style， character， imagery and ideas. Other exercises concentrate on the development of language awareness in terms of grammar， vocabulary and different styles of writing.

D

Authentic texts covering a wide range of topics provide a stimulating basis for an approach of skills and strategies to academic reading. Techniques of skimming and scanning， identifying main ideas， understanding text organization and guessing unknown vocabulary provide the basis for each unit. These are followed by more advanced strategies， such as analyzing a writer"s use of time， evaluating a writer"s attitude and assessing the degree of certainty in arguments. Each unit ends with discussion topics which lead to a writing task based on the reading texts.

It aims to train the students to become sensitive to different styles of writing. 查看材料
