In the past, it was often considered a death sentence. But many patients now live longer【C1】_

25、of improvements in discovery and treatment. Researchers say death【C2】_in the United States from all cancers combined have fallen for thirty years. Survival rates have increased for most of the top fifteen cancers in both men and women, and for cancers in【C3】_. The National Cancer Institute and the C

26、enters for Disease Control and Prevention studied the number of cancer survivors. A cancer survivor is defined【C4】_anyone who has been found to have cancer. This would include current patients. The study covered the period from 1971 to 2001. The researchers found there are three【C5】_as many cancer s

27、urvivors today as there were thirty years ago. In 1971, the United States had about threemillion cancer survivors. Today there are about tenmillion. The study also found that 64% of adults with cancer can expect to still be【C6】_in five years. Thirty years ago, the five-year survival rate was 50%. Th

28、e government wants to【C7】_the five-year survival rate to 70% by 2010. The risk of cancer increases with age. The report says the majority of survivors are 65 years and older. But it says medical improvements have also helped children with cancer live【C8】_longer. Researchers say 80% of children with

29、cancer will survive at least five years after the discovery. About 75% will survive at【C9】_ten years. In the 1970s, the five-year survival rate for children was about 50%. In the 1960s, most children did not survive cancer. Researchers say they expect more improvements in cancer treatment in the fut

30、ure. In fact, they say traditional cancer-prevention programs are not enough anymore. They say public health programs should also aim to support the【C10】_numbers of cancer survivors and their families.（分数：20.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.owingB.becauseC.regardlessD.due(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.opportunitiesB.resul

One of the looters, Chief Auda abu Tayi

33、of the Howeitat clan, suddenly notices the camera and snatches it. “Am I in this?“ he asks, before smashing it open. To the dismayed reporter, Lawrence explains, “He thinks these things will steal his virtue. He thinks you“re a kind of thief.“ As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking cameras

34、 into distant lands, stories began circulating about how indigenous peoples saw them as tools for black magic. The “ignorant natives“ may have had a point. When photography first became available, scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers“ exa

35、ggerated accounts. But in some ways, anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back. Up into the 1950s and 1960s, many ethnographers sought “pure“ pictures of “primitive“ cultures, routinely deleting modern accoutrements such as clocks a

36、nd Western dress. They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties, often with little regard for veracity. Edward Curtis, the legendary photographer of North American Indians, for example, got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a spear in 1915 even thou

37、gh the Makah had not hunted whales in a generation. These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that indigenous cultures were isolated, primitive, and unchanging. For instance, National Geographic magazine“s photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cultures. As Catherin

38、e Lutz and Jane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic, the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that don“t challenge white, middle-class American conventions. While dark-skinned women can be shown without tops, for example

39、, white women“s breasts are taboo. Photos that could unsettle or disturb, such as areas of the world torn asunder by war or famine, are discarded in favor of those that reassure to conform with the society“s stated pledge to present only “kindly“ visions of foreign societies. The result, Lutz and Co

40、llins say, is the depiction of “an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict.“ Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot. She read the magazine as a child, and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice off anthropology as a career. She just thinks that as people

41、look at the photographs of other cultures, they should be alert to the choice of composition and images.（分数：10.00）(1).What“s the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners“ perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values.B.There is

42、 a complicated relationship between the Western explorers and the primitive peoples.C.Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales.D.Anthropologists ask the natives to pose for their pictures, compromising the truthfulne

43、ss of their pictures.(2).We can infer from the passage that early travelers to the native lands often_.（分数：2.00）A.took pictures with the nativesB.gave exaggerated accounts of the native landsC.ask for pictures from the nativesD.gave the natives clocks and Western dresses(3).The author mentions the m

44、ovie Lawrence of Arabia to_.（分数：2.00）A.show how people in the indigenous societies are portrayed by Westerners.B.illustrate how people from primitive societies see cameras as tools of black magic that steal their virtues.C.show how anthropologists portray untruthful pictures of native people.D.show

45、the cruel and barbarian side of the native people.(4).“But in some ways, anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.“ In this sentence, the “one culture that stares back“ refers to_.（分数：2.00）A.the indigenous cultureB.the Western cult

46、ureC.the academic cultureD.the news business culture(5).With which of the following statements would Catherine Lutz most probably agree?（分数：2.00）A.Reporters from the Western societies should routinely delete modern elements in pictures taken of the indigenous societies.B.The primitive cultures are i

47、nferior to the more advanced Western culture.C.The western media are not presenting a realistic picture of the faraway societies.D.People in the Western news business should try not to challenge the well-established white middle-class values.Having a few too many drinks can mean more than just a bla

48、ckout or a bad hangover. People who engage in binge drinking are courting danger, experts warn. Binge drinking is most common at colleges and universities, where many adults treat drinking to excess as a rite of passage. A 1997 study from the Harvard School of Public Health reports that 42.7% of all college students engage in binge drinking. The well-publicized deaths of several college students from binge drinking in 1997
